NASA Reveals First Ever Observed Object From Outside Solar System
This artist’s impression shows the first interstellar asteroid Oumuamua. This unique object was discovered on October 19, 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii. Subsequent observations from ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile and other observatories around the world show that it was traveling through space for millions of years before its chance encounter with our star system.
