Harvard scientist claims that Oumuamua is not an asteroid, but alien remains

A Harvard scientist thinks that the weird space rock Oumuamua could be alien technology.

Ever since we spotted it in 2017, the odd space rock Oumuamua has gotten scientists and space fans talking. Now, one of the leading Harvard scientists thinks Oumuamua might not just be any old asteroid or comet. He thinks it could be super old alien tech! This is a cool twist to this space thing.

What's the Deal?

This thing stretches about 400 meters long and is shaped like a cigar. It's zipping through space at more than 87 kilometers per second. At first, they called it an asteroid or comet. But Oumuamua stands out because of its weird shape, how fast it is, and since it's the first object from another star system we've ever seen.

What Avi Loeb is Thinking

Professor Avi Loeb from Harvard has this wild idea about Oumuamua. He thinks its weird shape and the way it moves could mean it's tech made by aliens. In his new book, Loeb says Oumuamua might be trash from an alien society. Maybe they shot it into space a long time ago.

People are Arguing About It 

Loeb's idea has kicked off arguments among scientists. Some are not persuaded and think Oumuamua is just a normal space rock. Though others are excited that it could mean aliens are real. This all says that we don't know a lot about space.

What if He's Right?

If Loeb is right about Oumuamua, everything changes. We’d know we aren't the only ones, and we might learn about alien tech and societies.

To sum it up..

Even though scientists don't agree on what Oumuamua actually is, Professor Avi Loeb's idea makes you wonder about what's out there. No matter what it is, Oumuamua is a reminder that there's tons about space that we have not figured out. And there are surely a lot of cool things waiting to be found.
