ʻOumuamua: The Interstellar Interloper That Changed Astronomy
We examine the first confirmed interstellar object detected passing through our solar system, 1I/ʻOumuamua, whose peculiar acceleration and unusual physical properties sparked intense scientific debate. Our hosts analyze the detailed observational data from multiple telescopes that revealed its bizarre cigar-like shape and unexpected acceleration away from the Sun. We explore the competing theories about its composition—from hydrogen ice to ultra-thin structures—and discuss how this single object has revolutionized our understanding of interstellar objects while highlighting the limitations of our current detection capabilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
