such as in the case of the interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua. Aside from the effects of outgassing, comet orbits are also constantly changing simply due to the competing gravitational pulls of ...

When studied by a team led by Dr Marco Micheli, part of 'Oumuamua's observed acceleration was best accounted for by the effect of the Sun's heat on its icy surface. Comets consist of both rock and ...
The interstellar interloper will now be referred to as 'Oumuamua, which means "a messenger ... enough speed to avoid being captured by the Sun's gravitational pull) and was on a very eccentric ...
In 2017, astronomers discovered the interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua. In 2023 ... When a comet gets close to the sun, the sunlight heats up the ice, causing it to sublimate, or transition from ...
