Submission + - Astronomers Search For Answers To Origin Of Interstellar Visitors (bbc.com)
boudie2 writes: Since the first sighting in 2017 of a space anomaly named
Oumuamua, Hawaiian for "a messenger from afar arriving first"
(pronounced oh-moo-uh-moo-uh) there has been much speculation
about it's origin and formation. In an article from the BBC
they give some background and tell us what astronomers have
discovered about it. "Tumbling through space at 57,000mph
(90,000 kmph), the object is thought to have come from the
direction of Vega, an alien star that resides 147 trillion
miles (237 trillion km) away." They go on to say that
"Oumuamua has not yet been definitively classified as a
comet or an asteroid – it might be something else entirely."
There is hope that a recently constructed observatory at the
top of Cerro Pachon, an 8,799 foot high mountain in Chile
that will be equipped with the "largest digital camera ever
constructed for the field of astronomy" will help provide
answers.
