What’s an Oumuamua?

The question is, “What’s an Oumuamua?”

This is the name given by scientists to an unusual shaped object that entered our solar system in October 2017.

It was first thought to be just another space rock. However, the strange narrow elongated shape had many experts and scientists thinking that maybe this wasn’t so, believing it to be an alien spacecraft or alien artefact instead.

So, what is it?

No one really knows for sure, that’s why as it’s still in our solar system scientists are trying to obtain information on the object.

My guess, it’s just a different type of space rock that we’ve not come across before in space.

Even on Earth there are many unusual rock formations that are still unexplained so why not in space?

But hey, I’m no expert what do you think?
