ʻOumuamua: An Interstellar Object with Signs of a Probe
On 19 October 2017, the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii detected an object leaving the Solar System. It was named ʻOumuamua, meaning “a messenger arriving from far away” in Hawaiian. Its path did not close around the Sun. It entered from interstellar space, passed through the inner Solar System, and continued outward. It was the first confirmed object known to have come from another star system.
