Summary

Description	English: This artist’s illustration shows the first identified interstellar visitor, 1I/'Oumuamua, discovered in 2017. The wayward object swung within 24 million miles of the Sun before racing out of the solar system. 'Oumuamua still defies any simple categorization. It did not behave like a comet, and it had a variety of unusual characteristics. As the complex rotation of the object made it difficult to determine the exact shape, there are many models of what it could look like.

Image title	This artist's illustration shows the wayward interstellar visitor'Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah) racing toward the outskirtsof our solar system. The object, heated by the Sun (lower right),is venting gaseous material from its surface, as a comet would.Researchers suggest this outgassing is one possible cause for'Oumuamua's slight acceleration, as detected by several telescopes.The irregularly shaped object is only a half-mile across. It isnow farther from the Sun than Jupiter and traveling away at about70,000 miles per hour. The orbits of the major planets areincluded for scale. The box-shaped constellation Corvus is in thebackground near image center, and the bright blue star Spica is atupper left of center, in the constellation Virgo. The stars atbottom left belong to the constellation Hydra.
