If its something else then why is it following an obvious gravity induced curve without any self propelled course changes?
Why is it leaving our system?
Maybe because its a rock.
Fucking Finnish names.
Op utterly Wrecked and btfo
until it changes trajectory, it aint sheeit.
>without any self propelled course changes
Because it's already on a trajectory very close to earth?
If KSP taught me anything any course correction will happen at the lowest point.
NASA finally got a zoomed in shot.
There are thousands of rocks like that on every beach
what would have happened if it hit the earth?
If its not a rock and actually an ayy ship the only thing a care about is, how do they feel about jews?
Why is this in the news again? Any source about new information?
>Just so happens to look like a Space Turd
Something smells really off about this whole thing user. You'd better get to the bottom of it.
It's a lightsail probe. The invasion force will follow soon
lizard person here
someone let xchyephlt on the controls again and he thought it would be a funny prank.
we won't be revealing ourselves for at least another century. sorry to disappoint.
Unironically not knowing it has made a self propelled course change.

Probably nothing, it is tiny, would devastate a city, but would likely hit the ocean
They claim it propelled due to soalr energy. Possibly making it an alien solar sail. But it is being dismissed as extraterrestrial in origin, because there is currently no way to test that hypothesis.
this desu
NO ONE FUCKING KNOWS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OR WHAT IT'S EVEN SHAPED LIKE
THEY JUST ASSUME IT'S A ROTATING CIGAR-SHAPED OBJECT BASED ENTIRELY ON THE BLINKING PATTERN THEY SAW IN A SINGLE VIDEO PIXEL
what everyone's freaking out about is that it accelerated away from the sun faster than typically slingshotted objects like artificial satellites, comets and asteroids. relative velocity is fastest at parehelion and slowest at aphelion, with extremely reliably predictable velocities upon approach and withdrawl.
as oumuamua exited parehelion and the solar system, it was going much faster than it should have been.

They claim it exhibits the same movement that a solar sail could possibly provide, but they don't actually claim it is a sail. Since the jew who wrote the paper is also involved in a commercial solar sail project, this is literally astro-astroturf. The most likely causes for being slightly off projected course is inaccurate initial measurements or some part of the solar wind system we don't fully understand. It could also be due to the gravity well of an undiscovered dark object, but that is less likely. The object was tracked and imaged in detail, if it generated or used any electricity we would have detected it and if it had a sail we would have seen it.
A big rock just flew over my house. It's over, guys.
It's not that it has a sail, but that it is a sail. Possibly lost by an alien civilization. I also read that in order for it to be a sail, it would have to be about a 1mm thickness.
checked, must have been florida again
checked
i bet this faggot is still checking to see if he got any (you)s
Quads confirm, it is truly over.

Pooper Power 2020!
This is it.
Thanks Oumuamua
No, that picture was taken from the space station. Duh.
It's fucking Ruyi Bang
Wait... i can understand digital cameras but how did they take pictures in space when there was ink/film?
Out the pieces together
bro it wasn't a rock!
nice 9s though
They don't think the whole object is a sail, nor do they think that it's attached to a sail. They only claim that the object is off projected course by an amount that could be explained by a 1mm attached sail. It's astro turf for breakthrough starshot. In reality the object didn't speed up, it slowed down more than expected, something they always leave off the click bait ayyyy articles.
the moon landing was on film iirc. I don't think space telescopes existed until digital cameras were invented and available.
Oh mama
FC we're getting blobbed again
It's an artist rendition of what it "might" look like.
>why is it following an obvious gravity induced curve without any self propelled course changes?
Why waste fuel when gravity and precise course calculation does the work for you? If anything, course correction happens the closer you get to your target.
>2017
So the rock is old news.
Well if it was really a ship it could've been low on fuel or damaged. There's no reason to be economic in the first place.
If there was something that would undeniably prove it was an alien ship is if it were to pop up again in our system, due to autopilot or whatever.
The question is what star system did it come from
To this fucking day I still never understood the point in "checked"
the us government raid 2 lab right after the spaceship appear in our solar system with all intent to destroy any evidence to prove it was aliens. the newspapers wrote the Lab raids was because of cp porn on the computer. Why the cover up regarding the ailens I for one welcome the martains
It could be from another dimension for all we know. Could've just been pulled out of warp.
New
short for = checking out those numbers that may imply the situation is good or bad depending on the context of the post and the (un)likelyhood of the number
But it has a trajectory, could we not figure it out? I bet it came from another star near us.
Frozen methane gas expansion equivalent to a small comet is not aliumns
This is the only real odd question/answer. If you were to average out the 50 closest stars trajectories, its on almost this exact path. Meaning when boffins look at where it came from, the answer is we don't know, and can never know because it could have equally come from any of them. If you wanted to send a probe and hide where you sent it from, this is the exact path you would choose. Probably coincidence...
Been browsing Jow Forums probably before your first date kiddo.
It doesn't make sense. It always makes me think people check the IP address of a person's post or something to that effect. Something outlandish.
>A rock in space
>HALT THE PRESSES
Fuck's sake, not everything is a Jewish conspiracy to destroy the world.
Wouldn’t a solar sail deployed on an object entering the solar system cause it to decelerate rather than accelerate? Spoon feed me plox is retard

>Researchers landed on the latest otherworldly conclusion by focusing on one of the rock’s most interesting properties: its unexpected acceleration trajectory after swinging past the sun, which suggests it was propelled by sunlight. Since there were no observed signs of cometary activity — such as a cometary tail, or gas emission absorption lines — the possibility it could have been a comet was ruled out in the paper by Harvard researchers.
>“'Oumuamua deviates from a trajectory that is solely dictated by the Sun's gravity,” Loeb told Salon in a statement. “This could have been the result of cometary outgassing, but there is no evidence for a cometary tail around it. Moreover, comets change the period of their spin and no such change was detected for 'Oumuamua."
>After working out the hypothesis via a mathematical model, the authors speculate that the non-gravitational acceleration of ‘Oumuamua was due to solar radiation pressure.
>“The only other explanation that comes to mind is the extra force exerted on 'Oumuamua by sunlight” Loeb told Salon. “In order for it to be effective, 'Oumuamua needs to be less than a millimeter in thickness, like a sail. This led us to suggest that it may be a light-sail produced by an alien civilization.”
>Light sail propulsion systems have been created on Earth, and their origins date back to the 1970s, when NASA toyed with the idea of flying a solar sail to Halley's comet. The project was cancelled, but the nonprofit Planetary Society has since successfully established their own program to construct light sail–propelled spacecraft.
>Yet it is precisely this speculation that is causing a minor row among scientists. Some researchers tell Salon the theory that 'Oumuamua is an alien light-sail is flawed, and falls outside the realm of science, as it is untestable.
>“It could be somebody's solar sail that just wandered into our solar system or one that deliberately targeted ours, [but] you can’t say that’s not true because there is no way to prove that it is true,” Shostak told Salon.
Galactic Jewish Federation sent a probe to find out how their agent preparing Earth for taking
It would be very painful
Its a hive probe.
They know were here now, they're coming.
Underrated, good job, user.
>Bungie
Get out.
ITT: stupid people who didn't pay attention to the GIF that says this happed LAST YEAR
they didn't seem to care for mars that much, what do they know??
If it expelled gas we would have seen it. It ran into a solar headwind stronger than we projected. It's really not a mystery at all, just astro turf to excite the public and get congress to fund the jew company attempting to send a probe to Alpha Centauri.
it's not a comet though
I mean, it’s fucking gone dogs. It very well could have been an alien craft, but it’s fucking off really fast and we don’t have anything with the delta V to catch it.
Okay buddy.
Why would it need to propel itself? A good planner would let gravity do as much work as possible.
This is why Trump is so focused on creating the Adeptus As-, the Space Force.
(((Dr. Avi Loeb)))
Do you trust a Jew? Are they preparing the masses to accept extra terrestrial enemies to unify the earth? Project blue beam revived?
Monsanto+Israel=good for goys, r-right?!
What's funny is that I remember there was a game about a strange asteroid crashing on the Moon. Predictive programming or coincidence?

Solar wind/solar light... either way it slows you down as you enter (which is why it's off course) and accelerates you as you leave, which is what they reported. Our understanding of solar pressure is extremely limited and not to the level to make accurate predictions of non-solar objects moving through the system yet. I would have been more shocked if they got the course right given what we know.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light? That star is only 80ly away.
B-bump
S-stop d-doing th-this in every O-OP and saying btfo REeeeeeeeeeeeee fuck you faggots
still bump though
Faggot noobs these days can't even remember how we actually had to explicitly do this by hovering the mouse over the number to see what it got at the end.
Short for "Check these digits, my post is more right than yours."
I trust a jew to act like a jew. In this case the (((harvard))) scientist, Dr. Loeb, is also on the team attempting to jew Uncle Sam out of money to fund his pet project. This is why the paper was written and why the (((media))) picked it up. There is no mystery here, no happening... just jews being jews.
Because if you get the math right the perfect trajectory could be set up in advance.
The Lord is almost here. The Kali Yuga is ending. Hare Krishna.
