‘Oumuamua is a mysterious object from interstellar space that briefly entered our solar system in 2017. The object was first detected by astronomers at the University of Hawaii and observed over the course of eleven days. ‘Oumuamua’s strange properties puzzled astronomers and even led to speculation it could be a form of alien technology. The object was elongated, either shaped like a cigar or pancake, and seemed to accelerate as it passed through the solar system. Even after studying the data for years, astronomers are still unsure as to ‘Oumuamua’s true origins, size, and composition. Their speculations have suggested it may have been a nitrogen-rich sliver of a Pluto-like planet, a comet-like chunk of hydrogen, or a wayward comet that left the solar system only to return.
