INTERSTELLAR ‘OUMUAMUA’ (1i-2017-U1)

Where is Oumuamua? A new interview with Darryl Seligman from the astronomy department at Yale with an update on the subject of Oumuamua. We detail his findings that the interstellar object Oumuamua is an extremely strange object with unknown origins, though there has been some progress in determining it’s shape and composition. Also, ESO has decided on a comet intercept mission that will target interstellar object over the next decade.

Scientists Have Found Some Strange Object In Space ► Subscribe: https://goo.gl/r5jd1F Astronomers have cataloged eight planets, 6,500 comets and more than 525,000 asteroids, but a mysterious thing happened on October 19, 2017 in Hawaii that grabbed the attention of millions of people and scientists around the world because what they discovered was unlike anything seen before. The first ever recorded interstellar object was found to have entered our solar system somewhere from deep space. It was given the name Oumuamua, named after the Hawaiian term for ‘scout’ or ‘messenger from afar’, and its path showed that it was not gravitationally bound to our own solar system. But what was this strange object, and where did it come from? #space #objects #strangespace

Harvard scientists think that the first interstellar object detected in our solar system, called “Oumuamua,” could be an alien spacecraft. The scientists sought to explain a quirk in Oumuamua's behavior, which led them to an unusual conclusion. No one knows what Oumuamua is or where it came from, and it's too late to find out for sure. ------------------------------------------------------ #Aliens #Space #ScienceInsider Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more.

The key to our spacefaring future. Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. It’s not a bird or a plane, and probably not an alien spaceship, although the jury’s still deliberating that one. Some astronomers have proposed that an oddly-shaped object that recently passed through our Solar System could be an alien artifact. We consider the E.T. explanation for ‘Oumuamua, but also other reasons asteroids are invigorating our imagination. Are these orbiting rocks key to our future as a spacefaring species? Find out why traditional incentives for human exploration of space – such as political rivalry –aren’t igniting our rockets the way they once did, but why the potentially trillions of dollars to be made mining asteroids might. These small bodies may also hold the key to our ancient past: the New Horizons flyby of Thule in early 2019 will provide an historic look at a distant Kuiper belt object, and provide clues about the formation of the Solar System.

(2018) https://go.nature.com/2A9FncQ Last year a visitor came to our inner solar system. To us it looked like a faint spot of light, moving quickly relative to the fixed stars. We’d seen similar things countless times before – lonely rocks, remnants from the formation of our solar system, drifting on their endless orbits around the sun and faintly glimmering with its reflected light. Nothing unusual about such asteroids and comets, but what made this object special was its trajectory. It was not in orbit around the Sun at all. Rather, it appeared to have fallen in from interstellar space, and was on its way back out again. The object is 1I/2017 U1, better known as ‘Oumuamua. It’s the first chunk of interstellar space debris we’ve ever spotted passing through our solar system. It caused a justifiable stir at the time. Hell, WE even did an episode on it.

The first interstellar object, named 'Oumuamua, was discovered in October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii. The object is of unknown origin and could be a comet or asteroid. In this preview of Thursday's full episode, we spoke to Dr. Karen Meech, who leads the Astrobiology research team at the University of Hawaii and recently led the characterization to determine the size, shape, color and light curve of the first interstellar object – 'Oumuamua.

Is 'Oumuamua an interstellar asteroid or alien lightsail? Astronomers form Harvard University suggest 'Oumuamua may in fact be a light sail from an alien civilization, which would explain why 'Oumuamua is accelerating. However, there's not much evidence 'Oumuamua really is an artificial object and simply not a kind of comet. 🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/christianready?sub_confirmation=1 🖖 Share this video with a fellow space traveler: https://youtu.be/KQemVWn3lSk 🔴 Watch my most recent upload: https://goo.gl/QbRcE2 🚀 Help me improve the channel by joining the community on Patreon https://patreon.com/launchpadastro 🚀 Check out Launch Pad merchandise! https://teespring.com/stores/launchpadastro Disclaimer: Some of these links go to one of my websites and some are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you. 🐟 From out of town?

In this video, we discuss the space object Oumuamua and the odd traits that make scientists question its origin. Oumuamua was discovered in October of 2017 and was quickly denoted as an interstellar object, due to its have speeds in our solar system. Over the course of a few months, astronomers all over the world were able to determine the approximate size, shape, and composition of this object, however, it didn't match what scientists had previously expected an interstellar object to be like. Over time, the object was also varying in its trajectory slightly, which brought up many more questions regarding the origin of these disturbances and what could be happening. Recently, scientists at Harvard suggest that this could be a solar sail, created by some intelligent alien species, trying to understand planet Earth. In this video we walk through the different known facts about Oumuamnu, and why it may or may not be an alien spaceship. Thanks for watching! And consider subscribing if you enjoyed this video!

According to Mother Nature Network, scientists believe they know where the bizarre, cigar-shaped interstellar object 'Oumuamua came from. The unique rock was first spotted in October 2017 when the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii picked up a faint point of light moving across the night sky. A team of scientists have narrowed down the possibilities of where the cigar-shaped object comes from to four stars — red dwarf HIP 3757, sunlike star HD 292249 and two other unnamed stars. https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/stories/bizarre-cigar-shaped-asteroid-another-star-and-unlike-anything-seen http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

A pair of Harvard scientists say a massive, fast-moving visitor to our solar system may have been a probe sent by an advance alien civilization. Astronomers were excited to discover the interstellar object last year. It was named "Oumuamua" that's Hawaiian for "messenger" or "scout." Tony Dokoupil reports.

According to a report by Business Insider, scientists at Harvard have raised the possibility that a mysterious cigar-shaped interstellar object, the first of its kind in our solar system, could be a probe intentionally sent toward Earth from an alien civilization. Named, "Oumuamua," which means "a messenger from afar, arriving first," the object was first spotted in October of 2017 by a telescope in Hawaii. The metal-rich object, reportedly moving remarkably fast but not circling our sun, was about 750 feet by 115 feet and reddish in color. https://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-scientists-interstellar-oumuamua-object-alien-probe-2018-11 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The real news stories should say "Scientists Fail To Prove 'Oumuamua Isn't An Alien Spacecraft" - but the important part is that scientists did the math and know what to expect. There is certainly a non-gravitational acceleration, and a lack of dust cloud means it can't be proven that the object is a comet, but that doesn't make it a spaceship either. Original paper on Non-Gravitational acceleration https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0254-4 New Paper running the numbers on the spaceship https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.11490.pdf Also note - when correcting for camera rotation, make sure the intro and end cards don't get the correction too 🙂

In October 2017, astrobiologist Karen J. Meech got the call every astronomer waits for: NASA had spotted the very first visitor from another star system. The interstellar comet -- a half-mile-long object eventually named `Oumuamua, from the Hawaiian for "scout" or "messenger" -- raised intriguing questions: Was it a chunk of rocky debris from a new star system, shredded material from a supernova explosion, evidence of alien technology or something else altogether? In this riveting talk, Meech tells the story of how her team raced against the clock to find answers about this unexpected gift from afar.

Astronomers have found that ‘Oumuamua, the first interstellar object discovered in the Solar System, is moving away from the Sun faster than expected. Using data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope, and from NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope, a team of researchers concluded that ‘Oumuamua is most likely outgassing — suggesting that this enigmatic interstellar nomad is a peculiar comet rather than an asteroid.

A SETI Talk on 1I/`Oumuamua, the first known interstellar small body, possibly an asteroid which is probably coming from another planetary system. Its recent discovery by Pan-STARRS1 offers a rare opportunity to explore the planetary formation processes of other stars, and the effect of the interstellar environment on a planetesimal surface. Since its discovery, astronomers around the world have raced to use the most powerful ground-based and space-borne telescopes to collect information on its nature. Two astronomers, Meg Schwamb, astronomer at the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii and Matija Cuk, astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, will discuss the nature of 'Oumuamua, its color and shape in comparison with known small solar system bodies, as well as its origin derived from its extremely elongated shape and its orbit. They will show how its peculiarities seem to imply that 'Oumuamua is one of the most important discoveries of the decade in astronomy. Matija Cuk is a Research Scientist at the SETI Institute. He received his Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 2005. He uses computer simulations to study the past and present evolution of the orbits of the planets, moons and asteroids. His recent work focused on the origin of Earth's Moon, as well as the moons and rings of Saturn. In 2014 he was awarded the Harold Urey Prize for early career achievement from the Division of Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society. Meg Schwamb is an assistant scientist at the Gemini Observatory based in Hilo, Hawai'i. Meg's research focuses on how planets and their building blocks form and evolve, applying ground-based surveys to probe our Solar System's small body reservoirs. She is also involved in the Planet Four citizen science projects, which enlists the public to help study the seasonal processes of the Martian south pole and map the distribution of ridges on the Martian mid-latitudes. Meg also serves as co-chair of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's Solar System Science Collaboration. Meg was awarded the 2017 Carl Sagan Medal for Excellence in Public Communication in Planetary Science from the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Science.

Earlier this year, astronomers discovered what they think could be the first-ever-observed interstellar object. Chances are that it's an asteroid from another star system. But the unusual looking object has caught the attention of experts at Breakthrough Initiatives, which is on a mission to discover the first extraterrestrial intelligence beyond Earth. Experts are now using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to take a closer look.  Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more.

Its shape also has experts at Breakthrough intrigued. They say it's exactly what an alien spaceship might look like.  So, Breakthrough has decided to take a closer look, with radio telescopes on Earth. Oumuamua is currently about 186 million miles from Earth. That's twice the distance from Earth to the Sun. If the object is emitting any radio signals the telescope will detect the emissions in less than a minute. The chances that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft are slim. More likely, it's an asteroid.  Either way, Breakthrough's mission will provide new information. It's expected to shed light on Oumuamua's chemical makeup. But Breakthrough will have to work fast. Astronomers predict that Oumuamua will leave our solar system in January 2019.

The discovery was made by Pan-STARRS - the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System: a group of telescopes that constantly monitor the sky for moving or variable objects like asteroids or comets, It was initially thought to be a new comet, but after 34 days of follow up observations and a bit of orbital mechanics, it became abundantly clear that we were looking at the first object ever observed that came from outside our solar system. The mysterious object has been dubbed 1I: the first object in a brand new International Astronomical Union class, with “I” standing for “interstellar”. 1I also scored a more poetic name: 'Oumuamua, from the Hawaiian meaning “a messenger from afar arriving fast”.

Get an email announcement whenever we release a new video: http://eepurl.com/dcThQ5 On October 25, 2017, astronomers from NASA’s Minor Planet Center sent out an announcement that they needed help confirming the trajectory of an interesting object. Known as C/2017 U1 PANSTARRS, the object was moving quickly through the Solar System, on a path that would take it out into deep space. Astronomers were happy to oblige, providing dozens of observations within a few days, confirming that yes indeed, we were looking at the first asteroid that had come from interstellar space.

It whipped around the Sun, and then continued on its hyperbolic orbit out into deep space again. It passed near the Earth on October 14, then crossed the orbit of Mars on November 1st, by May 2018 it’ll be farther than Jupiter, and get past Saturn in early 2019. Astronomers around the world have been making continuous observations of the asteroid, using some of the largest telescopes on Earth and in space. But they’ve got to work quickly, by mid-December, it’ll be too dim to observe with any of our instruments.

Stream episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *More clues about our interstellar visitor Astronomers have released new details about a mysterious interstellar visitor which sped through our solar system during September and October. The new observations show the object -- known as 1i/2017 U1 -- measures some 180 by 30 meters and is shaped like a fat cigar, half a city block long. *Why the star Regulus is almost ripping apart A new study of the star Regulus indicates it’s almost spinning fast enough to literally rip itself apart. The findings reported in the journal Nature Astronomy show the star has a spin rate of 96.5 per cent of its angular velocity needed for break-up. *Another gravity wave discovery from merging black holes Scientists have confirmed another detection of gravitational waves generated by the collision of two stellar mass back holes. This latest detection involved the merger of two relatively light black holes, with 7 and 12 times the mass of the Sun -- a billion light years away. *Pluto’s freezer explained A new study of Pluto’s atmosphere may explain why the dwarf planet at the outer rim of the solar system is so much colder than predicted. The findings indicate a novel cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles could account for Pluto’s frigid atmosphere. *Pulsars ruled out of antimatter excess Scientists have ruled out two nearby pulsars as possible sources for a mysterious excess of anti-matter particles discovered near Earth. In 2008, astronomers observed an unexpectedly high number of positrons -- the anti-matter counterparts to electrons -- in orbit just a few hundred kilometres above the planet. *The Science Report Explaining why people with autism find it difficult to look directly at other people Claims salty diets may raise blood pressure by killing off gut bacteria.

New data reveal that the interstellar asteroid that recently zipped through our solar system is rocky, cigar-shaped, and has a somewhat reddish hue. It’s the first confirmed object from another star observed in our solar system, and was discovered Oct. 19 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope team, funded by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations Program. The telescope team named it ‘Oumuamua (oh MOO-uh MOO-uh) – Hawaiian for “a messenger from afar arriving first.” The unusually-shaped asteroid, which is up to a quarter mile long and perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide, may provide new clues into how other solar systems formed.

On October 19, the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii spotted something strange zooming through our solar system. It turned out to be a visitor from beyond our solar system, and it's unlike anything astronomers have seen before. It is the first observed object from outside our solar system, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature -- and, as the researchers call it, an "oddball."

THE SPACE BETWEEN MARS AND JUPITER — NASA says a recently discovered asteroid is our solar system's first interstellar visitor. The asteroid was discovered by the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System in Hawaii on October 19, 2017. NASA-funded research published in the journal Nature says it is the first interstellar object to enter our solar system and will travel inside it for over a year. Scientists speculate the asteroid is 400 meters long, and around 40 m wide. A lot about it is unknown, but the asteroid could be made up materials like metals or rocks, and is likely to be billions of years old. NASA says the asteroid will exit the solar system in January 2019 after passing through Saturn's orbit. It will next head for the Pegasus constellation. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- TomoNews is your best source for real news.
