Recent study reveals surprises about the first object to visit our solar system

Contrary to what is known, a recent study confirmed that the first known visitor object discovered in our solar system, which is called (Oumuamua), is neither a comet nor an asteroid as it was thought.

And a study by University of Arizona astronomers, released Tuesday, by the American Geophysical Union, indicates that the UFO does not look like a cigar as it was also thought, but rather comes in the form of a ‘a large red circular cookie.

She adds that it may have come from outside our solar system because its speed and trajectory suggests it wasn’t orbiting the sun or anything.

And it appears that the UFO, which was the first to pass through our solar system, is 45 meters in length and is made of frozen nitrogen, as study authors Alan Jackson and Stephen Dish believe one collision caused a piece. of ice covered with nitrogen to fall before 500 million per year and send this part towards our star system.

Scientists believe that the red remains are part of the original piece and that its outer layers were evaporated by cosmic radiation, and recently by the action of the sun.

It was named Oumuamua, in honor of the Hawaii Observatory that discovered it in 2017.

Scientists add in the study that the strange particle does not fit into the known categories.

And speculation switched between an asteroid or a comet because it launches quickly, but unlike other comets it was not visible, which made some think it could be an artifact or alien object, but Jackson and Desh created computer models the computer that helped them identify Awamoa was most likely a piece of nitrogenous ice that was gradually eroding, like soap that was slowly eroding with little use.

The study says the object is currently outside of Uranus’ orbit, more than 3.2 billion km away and too small to be seen, even with the Hubble Space Telescope.

“As a result, astronomers will have to rely on the original observations and hopefully continue to improve their analyzes,” Jackson said.

The only other body that has been confirmed to have deviated from another star system and joined our olfactory system is Comet 21 / Borisov, and its color is also reddish, it was discovered in August 2019, and it was named after after an amateur astronomer. named, Gennady Borisov, who is a comet It closely resembles the comets that formed in the region in which we live in the universe, in what is considered new evidence that other planetary systems can be very similar to the our.
