Solar System’s First Interstellar Visitor Dazzles Astronomers
Based on a Press Release from JPL,
Provided by Bob Eklund
Astronomers recently scrambled to observe
an intriguing asteroid that is passing through
our solar system on a steep trajectory from
interstellar space—the first confirmed object
from another star.
Now, new data reveal the interstellar
interloper to be a rocky, cigar-shaped
object with a somewhat reddish hue. The
asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua by its Hawaiian
discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile long
and highly-elongated—perhaps 10 times as
long as it is wide. That aspect ratio is greater
than that of any asteroid or comet observed in
our solar system to date. While its elongated
shape is quite surprising, and unlike asteroids
seen in our solar system, it may provide new
clues into how other solar systems formed.
The observations and analyses were funded
in part by NASA and appear in the November
20 issue of the journal Nature. They suggest
this unusual object had been wandering through
the Milky Way, unattached to any star system,
for hundreds of millions of years before its
chance encounter with our star system.
Immediately after its discovery, telescopes
around the world, including ESO’s Very Large
Telescope in Chile, were called into action
to measure the object’s orbit, brightness and
color. Urgency for viewing from ground-based
telescopes was vital to get the best data.
Combining the images from the ESO
telescope with those of other large telescopes,
a team of astronomers led by Karen Meech of
the Institute for Astronomy in Hawaii found
that ‘Oumuamua varies in brightness by a
factor of 10 as it spins on its axis every 7.3

INGLEWOOD DAILY NEWS Pub. 11/23,

hours. No known asteroid or comet from our
solar system varies so widely in brightness,
with such a large ratio between length and
width. The most elongated objects we have
seen to date are no more than three times
longer than they are wide.
“This unusually big variation in brightness
means that the object is highly elongated:
about ten times as long as it is wide, with
a complex, convoluted shape,” said Meech.
“We also found that it had a reddish color,
similar to objects in the outer solar system,
and confirmed that it is completely inert,
without the faintest hint of dust around it.”
These properties suggest that ‘Oumuamua
is dense, composed of rock and possibly
metals, has no water or ice, and that its
surface was reddened due to the effects of
irradiation from cosmic rays over hundreds
of millions of years.
This remarkable object was discovered
October 19 by the University of Hawaii’s
Pan-STARRS1 telescope, funded by NASA’s
Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO)
Program, which finds and tracks asteroids
and comets in Earth’s neighborhood that
could pose a danger to Earth.
Preliminary orbital calculations suggest
that the object came from the approximate
direction of the bright star Vega, in the northern
constellation of Lyra.
The object’s official name is interstellar
asteroid 1I/2017 U1. In addition to the
technical name, the Pan-STARRS team in
Hawaii dubbed it ‘Oumuamua (pronounced
oh MOO-uh MOO-uh), which is Hawaiian
for “a messenger from afar arriving first.”
‘Oumuamua is travelling about 85,700
miles per hour relative to the Sun. Its curent
location is approximately 124 million miles
from Earth—the distance between Mars and
Jupiter—though its outbound path is about
20 degrees above the plane of planets that
orbit the Sun. The object passed Mars’s orbit
around November 1 and will pass Jupiter’s
orbit in May of 2018. It will travel beyond
Saturn’s orbit in January 2019. As it leaves
our solar system, ‘Oumuamua will head for
the constellation Pegasus. •
