What Is 'Oumuamua? With Dr. Karen Meech
Ғылым және технология
John Michael Godier spoke to Dr. Karen Meech, who leads the Astrobiology research team at the University of Hawaii which discovered the first interstellar object, named 'Oumuamua, by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope. Dr. Meech's team recently led the characterization to determine the size, shape, color and light curve of this first interstellar visitor from afar - 'Oumuamua.

@@bigtravis1968 Id say its more due to the culture of science. Outside of the categorical identifiers, the less formal names are often nods to the people and places associated their their discovery. I like that about science - there's an air of respect between scientists regardless of their field of study 🤗

No one has ever seen anything like Oumuamua? I don't think so... An eminent NASA scientist named Dr Norman Bergrun -- a popular mechanical engineer -- has revealed about spotting alien spaceships around planets like the gas-giant Saturn and Jupiter. Images of these UFOs have been captured by the Voyager space probe too. These crafts are cylindrical or cigar-shaped which are miles long. www.thesun.co.uk/tech/4044454/former-nasa-engineer-claims-massive-alien-motherships-are-lurking-inside-the-rings-of-saturn/ www.ibtimes.co.in/ufo-spotted-grazing-ringed-planets-reveals-nasa-scientist-video-734780

This show has become essential listening while I work at home on Saturdays.
I'm always impressed with the quality of the guests on this show.
Another incredible video. If we get to witness an interstellar object every year, I'd be one happy camper. That'd be like a second Christmas for me.
Well I've been watching solely youtube for at least 3 years now and I've never been so blown away by a channel. This man knows how my brain works and asks the same questions I would. Marvelous stuff.
I think I've said this before, but this channel is better than anything on cable TV.
Great episode and a lot of new info on Oumuamua. I love the music and graphics you choose for your episodes John. Thanks again for bringing such awesome programming to us each week.
Would love to hear Dr. Meech's comments on necessary engineering advances and investments it would take to be prepared to properly study the NEXT interstellar visitor.

Thank you for the follow up. Great interview. Plus I enjoyed how your speaker explains things in a way I can wrap my head around. Thank you
not only the guest the host was very helpful to understand better the things that surround Oumuamua
Whats most interesting is the very same who knew nothing about this object one day are the very same who claim to know everything about it the very next day! Intelligent life remains humble!
Great interview, I look forward to every new episode, thanks for doing these.
JMG, your videos are great. I'm certain I've watched all of them, all the way through. thank you for your time and effort; really quality content. edit - and wow! what a fascinating conversation. incredibly thought provoking.
Came from Isaac Arthur. Now a proud subscriber. Very excited to find this hidden gem of a channel.

Reminds me of the black monolith from 2001
If this came from outside the solar system then it wouldn’t have tumbled through interstellar space. My guess is it occurred when it passed through the Oort Cloud or the speed it was travelling at and then interacting with the suns gravity may have put it into a tumble. Either way since no astronomers know definitively what it is conclusively, then the only known factor is that this is definitely classified as an unknown flying object.
Awesome! Love the content👍 Not the usual clickbaiting from unreliable sources like the most KZread channels.
Fun. I think this one must have gotten buried in my watch later list. The YT suggested content algorithm hasn't got a clue what to do with me. For half the day all I search for and watch is electronics stuff, except occasionally while eating lunch. Then I'm all about edutainment in the evening. They wind up showing me tons of technical suggestions in the evening, and goofy stuff in the morning. I should probably make a few private playlists just for catching up on stuff like this, but they would get lost in all my others...hopeless. ...anyways...thanks for the reminder about this one Ross. I got my weekly EH fix still ;) -Jake

the fact that omumua is shaped like a big turd is a message in of itself
Would it be possible to keep "spare" spacecraft ready for launch when the next interstellar object is detected? Very enjoyable video. Cutting-edge and relevant, as always.
Cool & Clear infos here !👍
Awesome stuff as usual. Can I suggest foregoing the preview next time? I didn’t want to watch it for fear of spoiling the full episode and it was just a total tease!

Yeah Issac Arthur conversations are always going to be long and filled with things. My brother is an Aerospace Engineer, we talk till we fall asleep, My love for boats had him living on one for over a year, It's never a slow moment when the world is out there looking to chat with you about trees and ants.
Spectacular channel. I thought the object was at rest (according to Loeb), and we crashed into it...no? Would love to hear you discussing the recently released Tic Tac, Go Fast, Gimbal videos with someone smart.
Thanks for an intelligent interview with an extraordinarily
Another aspect of this, is that they probably have a technology that can reduce their volume while retaining the same mass. This would include the occupants as well - so that the entire vehicle and its occupants remain in scale, yet are reduced in physical dimension. This would enable a very large craft to become smaller in relation to interstellar particulate matter, and thus move faster because of reduced drag. The fact that it has been observed to be long and narrow would reinforce speculation that it is a craft designed to transit interstellar space.
Pancake shape? Kind of like a saucer... Maybe a flying saucer? I swear life is an ironic comedy lmao
What an incredible journey this messenger from afar must’ve been on to stumble into our little planetary neighborhood. I hope we can catch up with it, or at the very least; we catch up with whatever interstellar object that comes next.

There is a new paper that was just released showing that it's most likely even smaller and flatter or longer and quite thinner than previously thought. New video on this Thursday.
Impressive explanations from Karen Meech. To be fantastical, If Oumuamua is a spaceship "lookalike hamster wheel" with an invisible outer structure then could the suggestion of a constant tumbling motion indicate that this motion was creating artificial gravity for its occupants? Could you calculate the size/gravity of its home planet from the rate of tumbling?
Good host btw!
Making more of this than necessary. If it comes back, then we will know more about it. Until then.... let's just try to forget about it.
The end over end is for artificial gravity , and did you see the window shades were pulled down !

Another great topic! I'd almost foolishly suggest the topic of Europa and other potentially life compatible worlds, even though enough has been said. I'd just infinitely soak in that topic even if it just means words were reordered in same sentences across it..
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence! They had part of that evidence, with regards the acceleration past the sun, with no visible outgassing. Possible the object had its own propulsion system! Basically they haven’t a clue.
I hope Breakthrough Starshot can chase after 'Oumuamua when it comes online. I want a real image of it! :-)
