It has since floated from our cosmic neck of an international visitor to the woods ‘Omuamua Scientists are intrigued and confused. Now, a new theory has emerged that a cigar-shaped space stone can actually be a dust bunny.
Here on earth, “dust rabbits” are lumps of accumulated dust and debris that are arranged by static electricity that swirls under furniture and pushes through wind bars. But scientists behind the new study suggest that ‘Omuamua is our first interstellar substance. Solar system, (Basically) a scaled-up dust can be a rabbit.
The study, led by astronomer Jane Lou at Oslo University in Norway, suggested that the rock in the International Space Station could be formed from dust blown into a comet’s structure outside our solar system. This rock, which accumulates rock and dust from a comet, will be pushed into space by solar radiation and eventually take a short tour of our solar system.

Since scientists discovered Omuamua in 2017, they have developed a number of theories about what the object could be, how it could form, and how it is traveling so fast in space. The principles surrounding the Surrounding Budget had to take into account ‘um Muamuana’s fantastic, cigar-like shape and its sharp speed, about 57,000 miles (92,000 kph).
Researchers have proposed that Maybe the substance is solid hydrogen It, as the rock approaches the star, turns towards the gas and pushes forward ‘Omuamua’. Some scientists have suggested that the substance may have looked like a cigar Really more like a disc in reality. Still others wondered if this rock could be one Alien light trip Built by an intelligent alien species.
In the new research, Liu and his team suggested that once a large portion of a rock’s nucleus was broken and, as dust and gas particles flowed away from the nucleus, they attached themselves to a rocky piece, eventually forming ‘Omuamua’. As the piece gets bigger over time, the gas flowing away from the comet will eventually push the dusty rock into space.
Scientists suspect that the original comet is a “long-term” comet, which takes a long time to circle its stars and travel far away from them. Due to the weak gravity of the comet and the pressure of radiation, researchers believe that matter separates from its parent comet in a way in interlingual space and eventually takes it a short way through our solar system.
Liu thinks that with sky-surveying technologies such as the Telescope Pan-Stars 1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System), which first discovered ‘Omuamua in 2017, we will begin to see more and more international interlopers like Omuamua. According to a statement. This Pan-Stars 1 Telescope In Hawaii, located at the top of the Haleakla volcano in Maui, is a space-rock hunting powerhouse that can see extremely obscure objects such as ‘Omuamua’.
It is important to observe new international tourists, because the rapid movement of ‘Omuamua’ means that scientists could only observe it in our solar system for a few weeks. By discovering new objects and objects, scientists will also be able to see if they form the way Luni’s team proposed in the new research on ‘Omuamua’.
