On October 18, 2017, the Hawaii Earth Astronomical Telescope in the United States discovered for the first time a cigar-shaped object from outside the solar system, which was named "Oumuamua" by cosmologists because of its prominent shape.
Astronomers observed Omomo immediately after its discovery, and after two weeks of observations, astronomers concluded that Omomo was not an alien spacecraft, but a "meteorite or comet."
However, "Ao Momo" still caused a wave of reactions from the outside world, and people began to speculate that "Ao Momo" would be an alien spaceship, and what would the truth be?
When Omomo leaves the solar system, humans will no longer be able to observe it, so how can astronomers track Omomo?
Is it really necessary to create a detector to track "Omomo"?
1. Speculation about alien spacecraft.
On October 18, 2017, the Hawaii Earth Telescope in the United States discovered a cigar-shaped object from outside the solar system for the first time on Earth, and it was favored here, which is the first "settler" to travel through the solar system.
However, "Omomo" is not known to everyone, it was discovered that 47 astronomers made observations for two weeks, and finally they agreed that "Omomo" is not an alien spacecraft, but a "meteorite or comet".
This is nothing, but before "Omomo" officially left the solar system, there was a lot of speculation, and people began to speculate whether "Omomo" was an alien spacecraft.
The Guardian newspaper believes that "Omomo" is a "spaceship with an alien probe", and the reason for its speculation is why "Omomo" has such a special appearance.
Avi Lobery of Harvard University in the United States also refuted the rumors that "Omomo" is an alien spacecraft, and said that it may be a colonial spaceship from an alien planet, and "Omomo" will become an important material for "cosmic archaeologists" to understand its mysterious history.
However, the British "Guardian" did not explicitly put forward the evidence that "Omomo" is an alien spacecraft, he only noticed that in the past four years, so the alien spacecraft have been larger than this one.
Avi Loberi's speculation also only vaguely mentions "a colonization ship that is likely to be from an alien planet", without explicitly proposing evidence.
According to their speculation, because "Omomo" has many "unknown functional modules", it is likely to be a spaceship from an alien planet.
However, the astronomer at Harvard University did not provide any evidence for his extraterrestrial spacecraft speculation, and he did not notice that there were some previous theories about the shape of the "Omomo".
Abi Lobery of University College London said that their belief that the alien spacecraft with a special shape was just a reason for them to believe that "Omomo" was an alien spacecraft, and could not be used as evidence.
However, these so-called "evidences" do not seem to be convincing, because in the past few years, there have been many objects similar to "Omomo" in outer space, so many people think that it is just a "meteorite or comet".
Second, the alien spacecraft speculation was denied.
The object from outside the solar system was first discovered by the Hawaii Earth Telescope in Israel on October 18, 2017, and it was initially speculated that the "Omomo" may have been caused by a comet outside the Earth's solar system that broke away from its original planetary orbit and came to the vicinity of the solar system.
However, there are still a minority who accept this view, and most people believe that "Omomo" is a meteorite commonly known as "shooting stars".
However, the shape of "Omomo" is very different from all comets in the Earth's solar system, as well as other known galaxies outside the solar system in outer space, so many people believe that "Omo" may be an alien spacecraft.
However, many people also believe that "Omomo" may not be an alien spacecraft, but a substance similar to volcanic eruptions on Earth, because it is very different from the usual comets and rocks on Earth.
After two weeks of observation by 47 astronomers, the question seems to have been answered, as they believe that the "Omomo" is due to the influence of the gravity of other stars on a planet in the solar system and the moons that orbit the planet around the sun.
When scattered by these objects from outer space, they become a "meteorite and comet".
Although Omomo has not been observed in detail, it appears to be similar in shape to what astronomers have speculated to be "meteorites and comets."
Then, after astronomers studied it in detail within two months of its discovery, they discovered that, first of all, it was not the same as any "meteorite, asteroid, comet" or even "artificial satellite" found in Earth's solar system.
After a year of observations, they found that "Omomo" is more mysterious than they had previously thought, but they now believe that "Omomo" is not an alien spacecraft, but because the planets and moons are attracted by the gravity of the outer stars, which is why they have such a strange shape.
Because there is no way to make more detailed observations of Omomo, it could be a very "rare astronomical phenomenon", but astronomers don't think it's an alien spacecraft.
3. The "Interstellar Research Initiative" proposes a new plan.
However, before "Omomo" left the solar system, the British "Interstellar Research Initiative" and the American "Space Program" company proposed a new plan to track "Omomo", and the plan was to launch a probe in 2028.
After the probe is launched, it will leave the solar system on the eve of 2029, and then catch up with "Omomo" by 2050 and unveil its mysteries.
While NASA is currently the only person capable of co-ordinating the build-and-launch of a probe that tracks Omomo, NASA does not consider the urgency of these missions to be more important than the missions it is currently undertaking.
Although NASA has assured that Omomo will be treated as an "outer space object" and has monitored it, NASA has not immediately studied its shape in detail.
Because NASA selected the "Karlovica" mission proposed by the California Institute of Technology in 2015, and proposed that the National Space Administration of the United States undertake the main work of this mission.
However, in September 2017, NASA, in collaboration with the Interstellar Research Initiative and Space Program, proposed a plan to track Omomo, with plans to launch a probe in 2028 and leave the solar system by 2029.
However, when people saw NASA's plan, they thought it was almost impossible because NASA would face competition from China and India.
However, since NASA's probes are manufactured by the Indian company "Sputnik", this makes the completion of the mission much more difficult.
Not only that, but there is competition from China, which, of course, NASA considers not an impossible task, because India's space program lags far behind China.
However, due to the fact that "Omomo" has been observed in detail and is the only company and spacecraft capable of conducting observations, the probability that in the future they will be able to complete the mission is very small.
Because the United States is also not cooperating with China at this point, the United States is in a position far behind China when it comes to space probes and probes.
Fourth, the watchfulness of human solitude.
Since the exploration of outer space is full of unknowns and challenges, human beings should be prepared for it, not just scientists from a single country who can contribute to it.
It should be the cooperation and efforts of scientists around the world that can better understand more information from outer space.
On the surface of some outer space objects, there may be a breeding environment for some organisms, and this can have a significant impact on our lives and health.
Because there are still many unknown factors, this makes the exploration of outer space even more important and requires more people to explore.
It is true that the scientific knowledge of human beings today is not very advanced, but with the progress of human development itself, people's exploration and research of outer space have gradually deepened.
Some people even believe that "Omomo" can become an important marker for people to understand outer space, although people's speculation was initially denied by the objects in space, but people are still attracted to these unexplained objects, and people's curiosity and desire for knowledge are once again aroused.
There are also those who, although not interested in the exploration and research of outer space, have expressed their admiration for those who explore outer space, because their courage and wisdom will also bring hope for the future of mankind.
Fifth, there are also doubts about the views of astronomers.
Another reason that makes people doubt the astronomers' opinion is that when "Omomo" was discovered, astronomers did not immediately observe it in detail.
They spent two years pondering its shape and eventually decided that it was a "meteorite and comet."
However, his shape is not the same as any "meteorite and comet" in outer space, so many people believe that "Omomo" may not be the "meteorite and comet" that astronomers believe.
It is believed that outer space is a world full of unknowns and mysteries, in which many regressive planets have been discovered, and some even believe that it is a portal to the future.
Astronomers' views are also not absolute, so there are reasons to doubt their views as well.
However, after the discovery of "Omomo", space agents observed it in detail, however, due to the distance and the limited spectral results of the probe, it was not possible to describe its shape in detail, nor can its structure be studied in more depth.
At this point, it is also believed that "Omomo" may be a giant comet orbiting the sun, and some even believe that it may be an extrasolar planet, however, no one believes that it is an alien spacecraft.
6. Conclusion: Astronomers and cosmologists will continue to study the universe.
Astronomers and cosmologists will continue to study objects in outer space, and although speculation is not yet true, there is still reason to believe that outer space is a world full of unknowns and challenges, and we have reason to believe that it is worth exploring and studying.
We hope that astronomers and cosmologists will continue to watch over outer space and continue to explore and study the mysteries of outer space, because they have a very important impact on human understanding of the universe, the earth and their own positioning, and deserve more support and attention.
