- Scientists were surprised and delighted to detect -for the first time- an interstellar asteroid passing through our solar system. Additional observations brought more surprises: the object is cigar-shaped with a somewhat reddish hue. The asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua by its discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile (400 meters) long and highly-elongated-perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide. That is unlike any asteroid or comet observed in our solar system to date, and may provide new clues into how other solar systems formed. For more info about this discovery, visit go.nasa.gov/2z... .
Aliens sending us an interstellar blunt.
Puff puff and a billion year pass
I'd be pretty high if I had a smoke of that
Lol now that's the humor I'm looking for
😅😅😅 interstellar cigar
Tell me about it but then again they are testing us or they are trolling us
Sun to other Star: Dude, can you please pass on that Cigar, please...
Share a cigar? What are you 14?
Its a joke, calm down
Imagine the Voyager spacecraft being detected like this after billions of years by some alien species and causing a global sensation on the alien planet. They would look at the sky and wonder with awe, but perhaps we would be long gone....
I think about this scenario all the time. It would be the greatest discovery in their entire history.
V-ger
There's actually a video on that. It would take 80,000 years for Voyager 2 to travel 4 light years to the next solar system. So yeah. Not in our lifetime.
Vinícius Augusto nah by the time the earth inhabitable for life humans will be way more advanced in technology and the sun won't explode for a couple billion years so we all good
I can just see Voyager sitting in some alien museum somewhere in the galaxy millions of years from now, or it could end up as a bug on the windshield of some ship, who knows
1300 feet long, and just 130 feet wide. Dark reddish color. Complex convoluted shape. Could possibly be metallic. No trace of a coma of dust and/or gas.
What just passed through our solar system?
An asteroid maybe?
They don't understand what they looked at. If Pluto is not a planet, how could this be an asteroid?
Pretty sure it's just some random thing launched in early stelliferous era.
I wonder what a Saturn 5 rocket would look like after flying between stars for hundreds and hundreds of years caked in dust?
Pluto lost its planet classification when the definition of a planet changed. The definition of an asteroid is fixed. It's an asteroid
Looks like this asteroid narrowly escaped suction of a black hole )
Maybe it probed a black hole and survived
Victor K You mean it was shat out of a black hole
Jack Davids Very probable. The thing that comes out of my black hole looks almost similar in shape.
You must be faster than light to escape black hole
Valhal Nope
This is truly extraordinary news. If only it could have been better imaged and samples taken! And the color! (Yes, I'm kinda excited.) :)
you could made a pun that could have been just stellar there, but nope.
I'm going to dance out on the end of a limb here and bet that we will see its cousins in the future.
It may not have precedent in our system because our ice bodies don't have much structural strength and they tend to be accumulations... snowballs.
Our nickel iron asteroids all seem to have been the result of a liquid alloy sprayed into surrounding space by a high energy impact... They typically look like foam... broken gas bubbles in dense metal.
This looks like the impact product of a metallic or ceramic body in a semi-plastic state. Hot but not molten.
It looks like the sort of splinter you might see from catastrophic failure of armor plate or similar bulk metal exposed to high velocity impact.
If that is the case there should be other impact debris with very similar trajectories...
Sufficiently similar trajectories wouldn't need to be 'identical' to end up headed toward us because unlike a static target our sun's gravity could influence those trajectories.
I conjecture that there should be a time window during which we would be likely to have more debris from the same collision find its way toward our general direction.
We could prepare for such an event. Possibly knocking some smaller bits off of it that could be brought into earth orbit for analysis/retrieval.
Thanks for your words. I enjoy thinking about this.
Only the nature of the universe is far to random for me to hold my breath. This splinter could of grazed any number of planets orbit causing it to curve at a random angle where it traveled for thousands of years before reaching us today :(
AeroSpaceNews.com, yeah, hopefully by the next time this happens (if it happens) we'll have a means to either stop it without damage or catapult a device to match its speed long enough to attach momentarily.
What's worrying is that it wasn't discovered until after it had passed through the solar system. Had it been on a collision course with Earth, its impact would have been our first hint.
That is the dankest space rock I've ever seen.
its just an illustration tho
Succubi Pie : So it's really good?
ayy lmoa
Brah you haven't been to Saturn!
get out with that pun boi
Its the silver surfer
exactly. its a probe. the vanguard probe.
❤❤🌪🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️
It's too bad they couldn't land a probe on it and hitch a ride it would have been fascinating to see what it's made of
It hurts that you made me think of this. Man it would have been incredible to see where it went
It’s going way too fast for anything man made to catch up to it, but it would be cool if we could.
perhaps the "crew" is dead and it flies through the universe since millions of years ?
That would be amazing ... but it's most probably a rock ...
Or the "crew" may just be in hyper-sleep.
Perhaps the crew was returning home, but as nobody was alive, ship missed its landing spot ;)
I love seeing a woman very excited and enthusiastic about a rock hard object ten times longer than wide
hahahahahaha
heheh.
Lols
like a snake?
Jason Maggard just a typical woman then !!
0:53, this might be the only guy with this beardcut since 1945 lol
He is a Planetary defense officer. We are safe!!!
Not quite thin enough
A theory on why it is so oddly shaped: Two large objects(possibly planets or moons) collided. The heat from the collision caused the rock or metal to become molten. The energy from the collision threw this particular mass of molten rock/metal out of the gravitational influence from its star system. However as it was escaping, the gravity stretched the molten mass before or while it was cooling creating the elongated shape.
imagine, Oumuamua was some "kind" of lifeboat with people on it. they set out for our home, the earth, hoping to be saved. But when they passed by seeing our lights from afar, no one came to help them ...
Just a rock sadly
Not an alien spacecraft. It is a resource rod that was a test of our civilization. If we were able to retrieve the rod, we would have been awarded with a bounty of rare metals and probably contact from interested extraterrestrials.
Erick Garza I like it! Original and plausible. A good idea for a book.
Jim Myers I will say that! That's a very unique and interesting story idea that Erick Garza has. I've never heard of anything even remotely similar to it! I seriously mean that.
Erick Garza I like👍👍
Zag Zagzag Trolls even here on a scientifically oriented video . .
Erick Garza Well if the fascist won World War II we would have such technology by now.
‘Planetary Defense officer’ that’s a pretty awesome job name.
Seems like an interesting opening scene for the next alien movie
keanu reeves The Day Earth stood still
Its Life Force!
Battle LA
Made by Disney ...
Every alien movie begins just like that
It'll be back and will wait for responses back from Humpback Whales!
It's kinda sad, we (the world as a hole) easily could have been prepared to take samples like this that fly bye now but we keep fighting with each other.
Wish we could send away all the people that dont want to get along.
I wish we could take money out of the equation and everyone find a skill.
I guess I can dream and try to raise my kids to be responsible and contributor to society.
Hope everyone has a great day 😉
Socialism
We should send black lives matter out there to get it
That is definitely a peculiar shape for an asteroid. Its incrdeble the amount of things we have yet to discover.
It's comes to speak to whales

Incredible how interesting a single pixel image proved to be, just imagine if there were two pixels…
the web space telescope is trying to imagine your statement right now but first it needs to figure out how to unfold the statement in space and it knows its only got one shot at it, then it can show you a giant smear of rainbow instead of pixels to get a better idea of whats going on of course. lol
Welcome to our solar system!
So much for the spheroid rule...
thanks what's occurring
@@ianconnor4325 what? What are you referring to?
One thing missing, it was "singing" to us and it circled the earth twice according to other "scopes" and ham radio operators and it was speeding up and then slowing down. Call it what you will but asteroids dont do this.
[citation needed]
you want a citation? www.google.com/search?q=Oumuamua+sings+to+us&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1
Doesn't look like anyone is claiming that it's an alien spacecraft except conspiracy nutjob sites.
A citation should directly reference a credible source with recognized/legal experts.
So ABC-NBC-CBS-FOX-NASA are all wrong because you say so? Did your mother drop you on your head when you were a child?
1:14 . Thats how i would describe my "asteroid" 😅
It is very "puzzling" to quote the video haha!
Lol 😂😂
Bruno Borici "Very unusual shape" XD
Unusual shaped rock. Aliens flying through space for billions of years confirmed! I wonder what they do with most of their time being there is nothing much to see once out of our solar system. I hope they packed a lot of books.
Should add, if they referred to this object as anything other then an object or rocky object or "interstellar asteroid" it would not be technically correct.. The term asteroid would refer to a rocky object that is orbiting our sun from the asteroid belt. So object or interstellar asteroid is the correct terminology. Granted if it displayed any properties of something other then an unusually shaped interstellar asteroid it would have been much bigger news.
Wouldn't you love to capture it and analyze it? See if other stellar systems have different compounds.
It is traveling at 60,000 Miles per Hour..
I would like to see its composition. See if it compares to our chondrites. Do a count of the rare “earth” elements within it.
We put a lander on a comet, perhaps with more time to prepare we could land on an object like this asteroid.
MelodicNostalgic how fast are the earth and moon moving?
Krypton just blew up
So get ready superman is on is way
Nice
If only
I would also settle for zod lol
Lol
Ends up being a true story
if it hit the moon, woulda been a home run. for sure.
Math is a hella of a drug
Gives shooting the moon a different meaning...
When I first heard about this interstellar object I was really excited... then power in place told us a very different narrative which became 'the truth'.
Looks like a big blunt.

John c, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought Collector ship.
How is that shape not a spaceship?
Gordon Chin it's the sewage waste dumped from an alien spaceship.
Because it's a rock with no propulsion system.
Because it's rock-shaped, not spaceship-shaped. Geez!

The funny thing is, i believe I was abducted either during or right after this flyby. Definitely in the months or possibly slightly over a year a most from when this thing was around. I just never heard about it until later so i never made the connection.
@@willdorten6867 get checked by a psychiatrist
@@kx7500 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
This is just an alien “flypast” probe. After all, aren’t we ourselves thinking about sending such things to closest stars one day?
Not anything nearly as big or oddly shaped as this, though.

It looks like a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser from Star Wars.
Very exciting. Plus, this object is traveling at an amazing velocity! How fast is it moving?
Ever watch the arrival?😂
+YunRemy - Yes, one of the most intelligent Sci-Fi movies in years.
Haha lol
Deep stuff right there
Great movie, actually sort of how I would picture real extraterrestrials. Completely unrecognizable biological life forms.
So was it detected before it passed or after it had already flown by?
It was discovered 5 days after it made its closest approach. Apparently there was an image of it recorded in a sky survey on the day of closest approach, October 14, that was not noticed until a few days after the initial discovery.
They've known for years
Sean Sbragia don't worry... we won't see it coming
wtf, looks like they kept it on the low-down. Government and MI5 only, until is passed safely. Little do they know this is the first fly by.
That thing is huge! Imgine the damage if it hit earth 😐
2:23 She is so excited
You would be too if you can claim this thing, too far to see properly, is the reason to keep funding this program millions of dollars and paid your salary.
Rosetta was a space probe built by the European Space Agency launched on 2 March 2004. Along with Philae, its lander module, Rosetta performed a detailed study of a comet. It's a shame we didn't have our game face on when 'Oumuamua came a calling. That would have been fascinating to hitch a ride on it and explore.
The aliens are sending in their own nukes
they probably got anti matter

Wow . . it looks like a big joint !

This astroid travels 35km/SECOND.imagine being in a spaceship and this astroid travels towards your ship..
Imagine that there are even bigger, faster and "dangerourer" stuff out there.
Sansirow *more dangerous
i was joking :)
It's just Matthew McConaughey perpetually yelling "Murph!" as he aimlessly flies around the galaxy...
I dont get the refrence
I'm so happy that it didn't hit us!
an object of that size and traveling at that speed would destroy any form of life.
its a planet cracking bullet!!!!!
Pacoaliv if it did hit a planet like ours at the velocity it is traveling at it might well wreck it for any form of life we know. Fortunately, it is already well past us and never even got close.
+Galaxy 69 we must get earth a chastity belt
So it comes into our solar system , swings past earth of all planets, close enough for us to see it and then leaves our solar system again. Just a coincidence...I'm sure it happens all the time...lol
Reapers!
vassternich1 don't worry , Normandy arriving in a few hundred years.
Nah its just a collector ship, no big deal
Wow~ The first?! That interstellar object
passed our solar system at nearly 100,000killometers!

Imagine what secrets that asteroid could’ve held. It’s basically like having another world billion of miles away come straight to us.
Its not a asteroid they let you think its asteroid but in reality its a camouflage. And it's a space frigate population of 800 or 500 aliens
Or 300 aliens
It looks like some alien RV traveler just emptied his waste drain and this solid one broke loose
Aliens : sending signs from another galaxy
Scientists: Pff, that’s probably an asteroid

Rendezvous with Rama
This is Amazing & I'm interested in learning more about it. I have a question I hope to find out some day. So if this asteroid is from a different galaxy and has been flying through space God knows how long, but my question is by entering a new atmosphere, new galaxy, Could that has caused any changes in the object??
it's not from a different GALAXY - it's from another star group of our own - somewhere in the past
Oumuamua, a Hawaiian word meaning “a messenger from afar arriving first.”
Just having a couple drinks with my bud Steve and it occurs to us this is the first interstellar tird like object to enter our solar system.
Look at the name of this celestial object Oumuamua and it tells you what scientists think it really is. Oumuamua is the name of the type of pizza that Elliot's friend was ordering right at the time Elliot was making first contact in the movie E.T., which means that Oumuamua is a subliminal message to the rest of us to look a little closer and then the rest of us will see the truth.
How can we protect ourselves for our survivals *when many asteroids are heading to Earth?*
Simple we cant and shouldnt . We are merely tennants .
Perhaps it became this elongated due to being slingshot around a star very closely to the point where it partially melted, the tip of the asteroid facing the star would melt first, thus allow it to accelerate slightly faster no longer solidly attached to the rear of the asteroid, elongating the entire thing until it distanced itself from the star and solidified back into its new shape. Or, it is the fossilized excrement of a space whale.
Wouldn't it also bend a bit in your scenario?
It could've been a sphere that was streched in 2 directions by black holes or massive stars.
that might just be it, like a huge asteroid hit a planet with a liquid core and that was a piece if magma before cooling while being slingshoted. that would explain its shape and why it had the velocity to escape its original sun
Can you say unequivocally that it is from interstellar space? I mean 20 years ago astrophysicists were saying gas giants couldn't form close to their host star, and many other held theories are now being proved wrong.
Yes, they crunched the numbers and found that the object's orbit is very hyperbolic (well beyond solar escape velocity).
As a kid, I always wanted to work for NASA. Imagine all the cool space stuff you get to see.
If you knew what their daily routine is, you would run.
Plot twist,it's a teleportation device sent from an alien planet.
👾👾👾
"it's very reddish in color"
Because red makes things go faster!
Star Trek Doomsday Machine.
What is most disturbing is, that we discovered Oumuamua after it passed our sun. We may not have seen it, if it was on a trajectory towards earth...
It should be named "Rama", after the book "Rendezvous with Rama", which featured an elongated object from another solar system.
Tyranids might be hibernating on it. Destroy it ASAP.
tyra whats?
Lol we have bacteria on earth that would eat them for breakfeast sooo.... QUARANTINE THEM NASAP!!
It could be a mini space hulk...it's acting just like one.
Call in the imperial fleets on it !!!
I'm sure you could've googled that.

MAKES SENSE NOW!
If that thing is from another solar system, that simply means something (probably bad) happened there and if we check its route from where it coming everything will be clear.

How much energy would it take to slow it down? Beyond that, it's probably moving too quick for us to even hope to attempt this.
CozmicSaber's Opinions a flick of a finger
Yes it will get to Jupiter in May, if only we could catch it.
It might be possible to catch up to it with a probe if we act fast enough. Slowing it down is entirely out of the question though, that thing should weigh a bit over a million metric tonnes.
BosonCollider 0:34 based on that trajectory, I doubt we have the rocket power to rendezvous with it.
Yeah, since it's not remotely parallel it would take amazing accuracy to catch it.
Wait one second. Are you saying this is the *ONLY* small object (asteroid or comet) ever seen that has a parabolic or hyperbolic orbit? Frankly, that sounds totally wrong. I recall hearing about hundreds of such objects before. Yes, a 10:1:1 physical shape is extremely strange and odd, but how do they know that? By regular variations in brightness? If so, that can also be caused by an small region that has vastly higher albedo (like white snow against black lava). This report sounds contrived to make it appear more newsworthy than it is.
I think they determined it on how it reflected the Sun's light as it spun. You can read more about it on artciles.
It would be cool if we could one day intercept objects like these we could learn so much about the formation of other solar systems.
it could be an alien craft to investigate earth
Can it be an alien space ship ????????
no
No it's a probe that communicates with our humpback whales..

Thanks for visiting!
WOW... this could be an object that we were looking for. Imagine a probe sitting on it. How much fuel cost would it save? And finally we have an affordable way for iterstellar travel, which by far is still science fiction
Breaking news: The object is slowing down.
Lucas Spear Shouldn't that be 'braking' news?
Ian moseley Haha nice!
Can we tell the objects composition in any way?
They stated that it is very dense and could me made of dense rock or, get this...Metal. They are leaning toward metal but they will not say so to the public just yet. Even though many objects have a large amount of iron in them, the fact that this could be made of metal would garner too much speculation and they are not ready for that yet!
It could be a fragment of a star's core.
Damian Reloaded That would be intersting. If that was the case wouldn't it be very dense or possible magnectic?
I don't think so, the explosion would make such shape impossible.

Comment section
1. Tin foil hat references
2. This comment
Assuming categories 1 and 2 are intended to be mutually exclusive, well, in category 1 you referred to the exact thing you claim to not be referring to in category 2 which distinguishes your comment from all those falling under category 1, so that's not really a self-consistent claim. Which is kind of delightful but not so convincing as logic goes.
Bart Alder the very first word of your argument was assuming, booooooooooo
Bart Alder In making a distinction between 2 and 1 by merely designating 1 as a distinct set, there is no inconsistency. His point is not about not referencing 1, but about not being 1.
Ill show you an elongated object...
That's amazing!
The physical properties of objects could change based on the galaxy it's in.
Like changing server rules.
It could have been built and fired like a bullet by another civilization.
It could be made of anything or have anything attached to it.
Very exciting.
The laws of physichs is the same in the Whole universe
Stanisław Lem described such an encounter in Tales of Pirx the Pilot. It was an abandoned spaceship from another civilization. And Pirx was so unlucky that memory banks in his ship had a failure just before and during the encounter so he could not store its trajectory. It was lost forever.
