Interstellar objects are celestial objects that travel through the solar system, but originate from outside the solar system. Astronomers have long suspected that such objects periodically pass through the solar system, but until recently, they did not have the necessary equipment to see the interstellar visitors. In October 2017, astronomer Rob Weryk used the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope to successfully detect the first known interstellar object. His findings were later verified by astronomers across the globe. The object, named ‘Oumuamua, was following a trajectory that began somewhere outside the solar system.
