Nov 21st, 2017 : Oumuamua
Oumuamua*, not to be confused with Mahamana, the first interstellar visitor to our solar system we’ve seen.
After all the junk we’ve sent hurtling into the void, remember paybacks are a bitch. I could be filled with little green men with ray guns. Or insects, giant carnivorous insects. Or Nymphos… but probably not. Quote:

I have it on good authority that it's mostly a dense metal like gold. The thing is solid gold.

Absolutely ƒucking fascinating. The first object we've encountered from beyond our own little neighborhood --and it's unlike anything we've ever seen. What are the odds that other solar systems are filled with mostly familiar objects, but--coincidentally--the only object we've ever observed just happens to be totally unique and unprecedented??
... I'll Devil's Advocate my own question: we only noticed this thing because of the variance in brightness, thus the shape, thus we noticed the orbit and determined it's origin. We wouldn't have paid that much attention to a regular-shaped object. This is just selection bias.

"I could be filled with little green men with
ray guns. Or insects, giant carnivorous insects. Or Nymphos… but probably not." If this isn't a typo, then it explains a lot...but probably not. |

Plus they have a new tool and a new mission to look for this type of thing.

Thanks, guys. I really wanted to go with my 1st impression: that this object is a heliocentric worldview-shattering discovery, opening up a whole new chapter of unexplained, weird stuff. Why have we never seen a thing this shape before?? How was it formed?? What kind of bizarre conditions would create such a thing??

He who denied it, supplied it.
