Oumuamua: Watching the scientific process unfold

Humanity's first discovered interstellar visitor, Oumuamua, was found in 2017 while it was already on its way out of our solar system. The sparse data astronomers could gather over the span of 2.5 months included a few surprises and mysteries. In this talk, Dr. Mathews will outline the observations, the potential explanations that have been raised, and, ultimately, what future observations will help us place this first known visitor in context.

Speaker: Dr Geoff Mathews, Foothill College
