Oumuamua" which is Hawaiian for “a messenger from afar" is the first known interstellar object, to visit our solar system.

Oumuamua, was discovered on October 19, 2017 by the University of Hawaii.

Oumuamua was originally classified, as a comet.

No cometary activity was observed, after it slingshotted past the Sun.

It was also briefly classified as an asteroid.

Oumuamua moves at a blistering speed of, 196,000 miles per hour.

Oumuamua initially appeared to be dense rock-metal, cigar-shaped object with a somewhat reddish hue.

Oumuamua is up to 400 meters long, and surprisingly highly-elongated.

Oumuamua has been wandering through the Milky Way for hundreds of millions of years.

Interstellar objects like Oumuamua, were present in theories, until October 19, 2017.

Unusual variations in its brightness suggest, that it is rotating on more than one axis.

Pan-STARRS team dubbed it as "Oumuamua" which is Hawaiian for “a messenger from afar".

Harvard professor of astronomy, "Avi Loeb", believes that Oumuamua, is an Alien Spacecraft.

In 2021 two arizona's state researchers published papers arguing that, the object could be a Hydrogen Iceberg.

Finally scientists reached a conclusion, that, Oumuamua. must be made of Nitrogen Ice, which is responsible for its strange maneuvers, and blistering speed.

scientists also propagated, that O, moa, moa, is a broken piece of exoplanet, which has lost 95% of its frozen nitrogen, since it entered our solar system.
