Harvard astronomer argues that aliens visited us in 2017

Loeb Love

In a new book, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb argues that interstellar space rock 'Oumuamua could be an alien probe sent to us by an advanced civilization.

Harvard Astronomer Argues That Aliens Visited Us in 2017

"The realization that we are not alone will have dramatic implications for our goals on Earth and our aspirations for space."

Astronomers: There's still a chance 'Oumuamua is alien tech

Aliens Still Not Ruled Out

In a new study, two astronomers argue that 'Oumuamua can't be a giant lump of molecular hydrogen. It's probably too old and wouldn't survive as an iceberg.

Astronomers: There’s Still a Chance ‘Oumuamua Is Alien Tech

Scientists are still arguing over the origins of this interstellar space rock.

Interstellar visitor may be one of rarest objects in universe

Expect Hail

A team of scientists think the interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua might actually be a hydrogen iceberg. The unusual idea could explain its stranger properties.

Interstellar Visitor May Be One of Rarest Objects In Universe

The suggestion "explains every single mysterious thing about ‘Oumuamua."

"Studying an interstellar body close-up would revolutionize our understanding of planet formation and evolution."

NASA wants to chase interstellar objects with "orbital slingshot"

Going Interstellar

A team of MIT researchers are suggesting that we could use a "dynamic orbital slingshot" to get an unprecedented up-and-close look at interstellar objects.

An MIT plan would fling spacecraft toward interstellar visitors — before they careen out of our star system forever.

Proposed mission would explore interstellar object ‘Oumuamua

Far Out

A proposed mission would explore the first-ever object that astronomers spotted cruising into our solar system from interstellar space.

Proposed Mission Would Explore Interstellar Object ‘Oumuamua

"We now know such a mission, at least in principle, is achievable."

"There should be a lot of this material floating around."

Scientists say we'll soon discover more interstellar visitors

Sky Eye

Researchers say new observational equipment could help spot hundreds more interstellar visitors, like 'Oumuamua, every year.

"Or we’ll discover multiple dead civilizations — that is, we’ll find their remains."

Sorry, but ’Oumuamua wasn't sent by aliens, say scientists, for some reason dignifying this yet again

Case Closed

An in-depth study of 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar visitor to our solar system, seems to finally put to bed the theory that it's an alien spacecraft.

Sorry, but ’Oumuamua the Asteroid Wasn’t Sent by Aliens, Say Scientists, For Some Reason Dignifying This Yet Again

"‘Oumuamua’s properties are consistent with a natural origin."

"A fraction of planets could have had an 'Oumuamua at their heart. You're not going to have any trace of it anymore, but it’s a lovely thought."

Interstellar visitor like 'Oumuamua may have formed Earth's core

Planetary Seeds

A new scientific hypothesis posits that interstellar rocks like 'Oumuamua could have helped form planets throughout the galaxy.

Interstellar Visitor Like ‘Oumuamua May Have Formed Earth’s Core

Orphaned space rocks could enter a solar system's orbit and form into a planet.

The head of Harvard's Astronomy Department is standing by his hypothesis.

Ayy LMAO

The chair of Harvard University's Astronomy Department defended his controversial hypothesis that interstellar object Oumuamua could be an alien probe.

Harvard Astronomer Defends Hypothesis That Object Is Alien Probe

"We have no way of knowing whether it’s active technology, or a spaceship that is no longer operative and is continuing to float in space."

Signs of life could be hidden beneath 'Oumuamua's outer layer.

Our first interstellar visitor is covered in a layer of "organic sunscreen"

Off World

Researchers say our first interstellar visitor has a natural layer of protection against the Sun's cosmic rays, and it could be covering an icy core.
