La historia de 'Oumuamua, el primer visitante de otro sistema estelar

The discovery of the first Interstellar Object, ‘Oumuamua, excited the world as we had a piece of material from another solar system to study up close.

The team was surprised to discover that `Oumuamua was accelerating in its orbit — in response to cometary outgassing.

We have the technology to now explore how solar systems conducive to the formation of life form.

When different branches of science combine to study a problem from different perspectives, we have the potential to solve deep profound questions that have intrigued humans for centuries. One of the biggest questions, "Are we alone?" is at the basis of astrobiology which explores how life forms, where it might be possible in our solar system and elsewhere. Why is Earth suitable for life is part of a bigger question of how do we make a world that is habitable — i.e. suitable for life. Within our own solar system, we have ideas for a mission that can explore this question of how Earth got its water.
