Oumuamua




Non-gravitational acceleration

On 27 June 2018, astronomers reported a non-gravitational acceleration to ʻOumuamua's trajectory, potentially consistent with a push from solar radiation pressure.[68][69] The resulting change in velocity during the period when it was near its closest approach to the Sun summed to about 17 meters per second. Initial speculation as to the cause of this acceleration pointed to the comet-like outgassing,[23] whereby volatile substances inside the object evaporate as the Sun heats its surface. Although no such tail of gasses was observed following the object,[70] researchers estimated that enough outgassing may have increased the object's speed without the gases being detectable.[71] A critical re-assessment of the outgassing hypothesis argued that, instead of the observed stability of ʻOumuamua's spin, outgassing would have caused its spin to rapidly change due to its elongated shape, resulting in the object tearing apart.[8


(It didn't happen when it was closest to the sun but instead was

"when it was near its closest approach to the Sun"

(How far away from "its closest approach to the Sun" I wonder? And why then? And not when it was closest to the sun?

Gravitational assist and NASCAR lol.

Who else you gonna get that from? lol.

You gotta get "a run on it" basically lol.

Then you can use the suns gravity to sling shot you where you wanna go.)


Did the people that wrote this?

Acceleration of 1I/‘Oumuamua from radiolytically produced H2 in H2O ice

Not read the Wikipedia entry?


"Hydrogen ice theory

It has been proposed that ʻOumuamua contains a significant amount of hydrogen ice.[117][118] This would point to it originating from the core of an interstellar molecular cloud, where conditions for the formation of this material might exist.[119] The Sun's heat would cause the hydrogen to sublime, which would in turn propel the body. The hydrogen coma formed by this process would be difficult to detect from Earth-based telescopes, as the atmosphere blocks those wavelengths.[120] Regular water-ice comets undergo this as well, however to a much lesser extent and with a visible coma. This may explain the significant non-gravitational acceleration that ʻOumuamua underwent without showing signs of coma formation. Significant mass loss caused by the sublimation would also explain the unusual cigar-like shape, comparable to how a bar of soap becomes more elongated as it is used up.


However, it was later shown that hydrogen icebergs cannot form out of small grains and that, to not evaporate during their journey in interstellar space, they would had to be formed about 40 millions years ago, in the close neighborhood of the solar system.[121][122]


"However, it was later calculated that hydrogen icebergs cannot survive their journey through interstellar space.[87]"


"In fact, the closeness of ʻOumuamua's velocity to the local standard of rest might mean that it has circulated the Milky Way several times and thus may have originated from an entirely different part of the galaxy.[45]


and they got their stuff published in the Journal of nature?

Sad.

It really is.

I mean if I can pick it apart?

Come on now.
