Scientists may have finally uncovered the origins of ‘Oumuamua, the first interstellar object that was found visiting our Solar System. The red, dusty, and strangely-elongated ‘Oumuamua, known to move in surprising ways, has been a subject of much speculation ever since it was discovered. Now, scientists suggest that tidal forces, gravitational interactions similar to those on Earth, are responsible for its presence and strange behavior. The scientists revealed that after a space body is stretched apart by the star’s tidal forces, its pieces would melt and expand into a cigar-shaped form. Oumuamua was first spotted on October 19, 2017, by the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1 in Hawaii.
