Do we finally have an answer to the question ‘what is Oumuamua’?
In a paper published March 22 in Nature, Darryl Seligman, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, and a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow, and first author Jennifer Bergner, an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, argue that hydrogen gas released by warming of amorphous water ice likely drove Oumuamua’s nongravitational acceleration, or acceleration beyond the sun’s influence.

One frustration with Oumuamua , and there are many, is the lack of strong “signal”. Signal as in information. It moved so fast and is so small. Then it was gone. What we had was a speedy pixel of changing light. That said, much can be deduced from just that. And has been. Interpretation of that wispy data is where the fist fights in the parking lot take place. So I look forward the LSST sky survey ’scope coming on line soon. Perhaps such objects like Oumuamua are commonplace and natural and that’ll be supported with more data. Or perhaps it will only confirm it as an even more usual, even unnatural, object.
The important is to understand why the comet hypothesis recently published on Nature is wrong. And From here start to study it correctly
this one will always be a mystery.. i think its basically pointless for anyone to truely find out what it was without a time machine. just gotta keep looking for more cigar shaped objects for the future.
Nice.
Avi leob seems to carry more gravitas.
Okay. This is the first time I've heard that 6 stellar objects accelerate similar to Oumuamua and also without comet tails. What are those objects? All eyes need to be on those 6 objects and we should be sending probes to them immediately to discovery definitively why. That is the only way to settle this debate concerning Oumuamua. Cuz several other interstellar objects have arrived after Oumuamua and did in fact act as normal comets. Yet according to this explanation, those objects should have acted like Oumuamua if this hypothesis was anywhere near correct. The fact is that these other interstellar objects didn't; they acted like normal comets. So if these 6 stellar objects actually exist, then there is not much need for any of these wild guesses. Send the probes and do extensive analysis on those 6 objects and be transparent about it.

great comment, 100% agree.
Ants on a rock. Our best thinkers have decide mining cobalt is the future for all transportation. We are that small minded as a species we have given all value to the $ and still worship and sacrifice to many different gods. We have yet to discover the beginnings of humanity, considering humans are distinctly singular in evolution amongst millions of lifeforms upon this rock. Just guess and call it fact.

a bunch of ants need stomping on aye ,in fact it is an insult to ants and all other creations of jah god to refer to people as one of them ,unless you can tell me of one other species besides humans that destroys the very environment it relies upon for its existence to the point it can no longer exist .
Avi leob is right.
I thought the thumb nail was a beached whale 🤦♂️
No, is the answer.
He doesn't realise he is good looking
Jennifer Bergner and Darryl Seligman are pseudo-cientists or beginners? sorry I mean noobs?
