In 2017, a mysterious comet dubbed 'Oumuamua fired the imaginations of scientists and the public alike.
But the fact that it was accelerating away from the sun in a way that astronomers could not explain perplexed scientists, leading some to suggest that it was an alien spaceship.
Was 'Oumuamua, the First Known Interstellar Object, Less Weird Than We Thought?
Scientists have a new idea to explain the strange behavior of ‘Oumuamua , our solar system’s first known interstellar visitor.
In October 2017 astronomers first spotted the object by chance as it passed through the inner solar system on a slingshot trajectory around the sun that would send it soaring back out to interstellar space.

But perhaps the answer is much simpler than previously thought. That's the conclusion of a new paper published in the journal Nature.
As we reported previously , 'Oumuamua was first discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS1 telescope, part of NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations program to track asteroids and comets that come into Earth's vicinity.
