Observations of the oblong interstellar traveler Oumuamua have revealed an unidentified organic coating on it, igniting scientific and public curiosity alike.<\/h2>\n

After \u201cOumuamua\u201d was initially spotted by a telescope in Hawaii by the Pan-STARRS project on October 19, experts raced to gather<\/a> all possible information on it before it passed beyond humanity\u2019s collective reach. But, while they expected to find a comet-like chunk of ice passing by our sun, the object mysteriously failed to leave behind a vapor trail as it grazed our home star. Instead, the still-unidentified chunk of ancient space debris hurtling at 60,000 MPH through our solar system left us with a host of new questions.<\/p>\n

First, Oumuamua is exceptionally long and narrow \u2014 roughly 400 by about 40 meters. The shape is unlike any asteroids in our own solar system. Paul Chodas, Manager of NASA\u2019s Centre for Near Earth Orbit Studies, called<\/a> it \u201ca strange visitor from a faraway star system, shaped like nothing we\u2019ve ever seen in our own solar system neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second, the lack of a comet-like tail of vaporized ice \u2014 despite passing even within Mercury\u2019s orbit \u2014 seems to be the result of unknown organic matter which shields its internal ice from the sun\u2019s immense heat. Also, it\u2019s red. And while some observations tagged it as similar to the shades we see from minerals present in our own system, others suggest that it is significantly darker.<\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s University Belfast\u2019s Dr. Michele Bannister of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey called Oumuamua \u201cthe opposite\u201d of what she was \u201cexpecting we might see.\u201d To her, it is the familiar aspects of the object that intrigue. \u201cIt\u2019s travelled for millions or billions of years \u2013 it could be older than our solar system. \u2026It\u2019s come from a very long way away, but it looks very familiar,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her colleague, Professor Alan Fitzsimmons, hopes for more time with the next exotic wanderer, bemoaning the short period of time between its discovery and departure:<\/p>\n

\n

What would be great would be to find another one of these objects where we can say, \u2018yes, this object came from this particular star or particular region.\u2019 At the moment the only limit we\u2019ve got is an upper limit of about 10 billion years \u2013 because when our universe started, the materials weren\u2019t around to form a solid body like this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, some are even convinced that Oumuamua could provide<\/a> proof of extra-terrestrial life. Professor Fitzsimmons remains skeptical.\u201dWe expect these things out there,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd looking at this object, the first object that\u2019s been detected, it has appearances of these natural objects that we\u2019d expect from another star \u2013 this looks exactly what we\u2019d expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever Oumuamua ultimately is, the data collected from its passing will be a hot topic among researchers for years to come \u2014 or, at least, until the next one.<\/p>\n
