Quote:Such a large, thin object would represent a new class of interstellar material that we havent previously observed in our solar system, but perhaps something of this shape could arise naturally in the interstellar medium or in protoplanetary disks. Bialy and Loeb also consider the possibility of an artificial origin, proposing that Oumuamua could be a piece of tech debris a solar sail discarded by an alien civilization and now tumbling through interstellar space.The Puzzle ContinuesSo: is it aliens? Probably not, folks. But does Oumuamua present a large number of puzzles that force us to continue to carefully employ the scientific method, evaluate possible uncertainties, and search for new explanations? Definitely.We still have so much to learn about this bizarre asteroid. But in many ways, the puzzle of Oumuamua beautifully encapsulates the process of science both in the excitement of an unsolved mystery and in the importance of critical thinking and methodical evaluation of possibilities.
