The article discusses the discovery of a high-speed long and narrow asteroid Oumuamua that moves through the solar system by astronomers using the Pan STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii, which is the first evidence of an interstellar asteroid outside the solar system. It mentions that the reddish color of the object suggests coatings of molecules that were decomposed by cosmic rays which came from the direction of the star Vega in the Lyra constellation.
