🔭 Famous Interstellar Object that Passed through our Solar System

The name of the famous interstellar object that passed through our solar system is Oumuamua. It was first detected on October 19, 2017, by the Pan-STARRS1 telescope in Hawaii, and its unusual trajectory and characteristics led astronomers to conclude that it came from outside our solar system. The name Oumuamua comes from Hawaiian, meaning "scout" or "messenger" sent from the distant past to reach out to us. It is believed to be an elongated object, about 800 meters long and only 80 meters wide, and was traveling at a speed of around 315,000 kilometers per hour when it passed closest to the Sun in September 2017. Its origin and composition remain a subject of much scientific debate and speculation.
