The latest messages from interstellar travel objects that we observe

Last month (11/2017), an object that was supposed to fly over the earth was in the sights of scientists. In the cold weather before Christmas, researchers revealed the latest messages about this strange guest.

According to Nature, this interstellar object comes from a completely different star system , probably billions of years ago. This long-anticipated visit is the first time the earth came to an object the way we are so far away. And maybe we are its first companions sometime.

Surrounding the named object (one from the Hawaiian language to indicate the distant passenger for the first time to a certain location) is a light layer of light . According to the latest findings published in Nature Astronomy, on the surface 'Oumuamua is a layer of organic-rich separation due to long-term exposure to cosmic rays. This pink covering protected the inner ice core from evaporating when 'Oumuamua flew near the sun, and also helped explain some of the properties of the original stranger that confounded scientists. . 'Oumuamua also produces a separate layer of fog from the outer layers of pure stone, making it easy to detect when flying near the Sun.

Those who observe the sky to look for objects of the stars tend to look out to look for a comet. The absence of a tail made this object known as a rock asteroid in its first public announcement in November. But after all, its organic shell ensured an unlikely probability. Out: 'Oumuamua is a comet - models show that it can be hidden underneath, undisturbed when the object crosses the Sun. Maybe it came from a planet far away from us.

According to the conjecture of another study, if this is not a comet, it could be the fragment of a distant planet shredded by tidal disturbance, an attractive destruction process.

Despite the listening efforts of telescopes on Earth, this object remained silent. And yet there is no sign of manufacturing technology such as the hope of alien hunters (strange cigar-like shape that many people hope 'Oumuamua is an artificial product, not the formation of nature). ).

Scientists who discovered Oumuamua through the Pan-STARRS telescope on Maui Island in Hawaii said the object was "a message from the distant past reaching us".

Exactly what is going on inside 'Oumuamua will still be a mystery because the object is flying away from the solar system."We can never know for sure (the structure) of 'Oumuamua, but sometime in the future another object will be discovered. Hopefully we will have more time to study the next object. Next , Engadget quoted the lead researcher Alex Fitzsimmons.
