Then I told them that the speed of light is ~300,000 Kilometres per second, not per hour. The confounded look on their face was priceless.
@@MiltonGrimshaw I know, but these Flerfers were trying to say that the asteroid going over 300,000 km/h was proof that we're being lied to by NASA because the asteroid is going faster than the speed of light. Had to explain, using small words, that the speed of light is 300,000 KM/S.
Lol. It's funny how some people form an opinion, but they have no real idea of the scientific facts. The speed of light is one of the very basics anyone who even has an interest in science should know.

It was possible at the time, by using huge rocket to launch a tiny probe. Probability not possible today, unless you use a starship to launch a cubesat. And yes a waste of resources.
Astrographics is a very underappreciated channel, there are so many projects and subjects I'd never heard of that absolutely fascinated me. I'd never heard of Oumuamua but it's an intriguing thing to hear about.
Well done! I recall many discussions of old sci-fi concepts in regards to 'Oumuamua. While it would've been pretty damn neat for our "vagabond visitor" to have been an alien artefact... The probability that the FIRST interstellar object we see is also the first "proof of life outside Earth" is suuuuuuper low. It isn't zero! But it's way less than 1.
Exactly, how many goldilocks planets that we haven't found any evidence of life on yet, but the first confirmed object to enter our solar system is proof. Like you said, odds not zero, but it's also pretty close to finding a planet of monkeys typing out shakespeare
Man I have mad respect for Simon and his team and how much they grind to have regular uploads on so damn many channels. It's seriously impressive, especially with most videos being longer than most single channels with regular uploads
Perhaps I'm having a smooth brain moment here, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that a tumbling object the size and shape of 'Oumuamua, traveling at the speeds it is traveling, somehow off-gassed something completely invisible to us, and if not ONLY in a single direction which would accelerate it (as opposed to in all different directions as it tumbles - which I imagine would give it a spiral wobble, not acceleration), at least MORE in a single direction than others. I've seen rockets and all sorts of things spewing propellants in an uncontrolled manner... And while there was definitely propelled motion, none of those ever produced acceleration in a single direction. In fact, what has done (100% of the time) was to increase the tumbling. And the more angular momentum such things gained (the more it tumbled), the less it exhibited any directional favor. So how is it that 'Oumuamua is so special in this regard? The comets that get a boost from the sun causing out-gassing can create an acceleration effect because they aren't tumbling very much, and they are moving slower (relative to 'Oumuamua tumble and speed). But comets with higher tumble rates, and/or higher speed past the sun have less acceleration effect. Again, the suggestion that off-gassing in the manner in which comets do to gain acceleration feels like a massive stretch with some mathematic gymnastics to reach this same conclusion for 'Oumuamua. There's a disconnect somewhere, and while it might be my ignorance of some aspect, or just smooth-brained blathering... I've tried to find answers to this for years (from actual professors and scientists working in the field), and either I never hear anything, or else they say they don't know and say I should ask those that are making the claim. Unfortunately, those making the claim are the very ones that don't respond. So perhaps asking here might provide leads on finding an answer. Please give this comment a like if you'd like to help me find that answer. (Unless you know the answer and can help directly... That would be awesome.) And if you've read all the above... Thank you.
What I find interesting is the “asteroid” just happened to closely pass by the potentially two habitable planets in the solar system’s “Goldilocks zone”. If it was a ship, Mars and Earth were just probed for life.
Simon whistler, love your shows this one and the constant criminalist or what ever the name. You got quite Afew channels. HOW BAD did i want to BELIEVE this was something/ anything but a rock!!!! Alot of us did. The shape no tail the sheer speed when it SHOULD have slowed down. We need to have a base on moon or a station in orbit we can launch a probe or ship to catch up to things like this....god bless the sence of adventure and always asking why then to push ourselves,
Drop a list of all of your channels in one place for us. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one… though I may not have noticed. Your voice dominates a whole corner/genre of my content lol
the only thing that bothers me is that the first intersteller object that we found, happened to come arrive on such an angle that it was able to successfully do a u turn around the sun instead of cutting straight through our solar system or at a distance that would prevent it's course being profoundly impacted by the sun at all. the change in speed seems secondary to that. what are the odds that a object sent at such distance would behave in such a fashion.
Dude has more channels than I've had hot meals 😂 love it Simon but this one needs better advertising as I'm only just finding it today despite watching your stuff for years 😅
I'm surprised that NASA didn't try to put a probe on it with some sort of tracker and camera so that we could see where it was going. Sort of like a natural Voyager probe.
It was moving way too fast. They didn't have enough time to plan a mission, and given that it was moving at five or six times the speed of their fastest ever spacecraft - the Voyager and New Horizons missions - they could not have matched speed and made a controlled landing.
Two questions: What variation in speed after the "slingshot" out of the solar system? At it's incoming speed how long would it take to have come from our"nearest" galaxy?
Assuming it came from Vega, which it probably didn't, using round numbers for simplicity it take a bit under 80,000,000 years to get from there to here at 300,000km/h ish
@@Petelfc88Wow, most of us here couldn't even imagine that there was any probability whatsoever that this was the first ISO. So what do you calculate that probability is? 1 in 10? 100? 1000? 1 million? 1 billion? 1 trillion? 1 google-plex? Yeah, I know, it's just not zero. Very enlightening!😂
What is most intriguing about Oumuamua's flight path is that it made TWO close fly bys of Earth. The second made possible by the slowing of its trajectory. I have no doubt in my mind, we were buzzed.
Comets outgassing caused by heating from the sun produces a tail and a coma. The coma wraps around the main body of the comet, with the tail visible behind the main body. Some comets coma have been know to swell up like a balloon. The coma can expand so large and explode killing the comet in the process. The coma and the tail are not the same, but 2 separate parts of a comet.
It's very unlikely that it was the first interstellar visitor to our solar system. It might not even be the first one to be seen by humans. What it is is the first to be positively identified as such.
If it was a light sail, it wouldn't have accelerated on its way towards the sun. Its speed, being faster than any object seen before, is what nobody can convincingly explain. Even the "white dwarf accelerated planetary core shard" theory doesn't fling it away that fast without a few gravity assists.
There is a possibility that an alien civilization could have built a generational starship, inside of an asteroid. This would give it several benefits such as, radiation protection, projectile protection, natural resource to extract, etc. This spaceship would be used to travel to distant stars systems that may have potentially habitable planets, that the space-faring civilization has targeted.😮
Simon you should look into the caveats of the hydrogen outgassing theory, it is fsr from being a done deal on explaining Omouamoua's behaviour when it came under scrutiny in rival research papers.
I love astronomy, a bit of an amateur astronomer myself. Research, papers, whatever. I respect data. However, I always find it interesting how, the moment something seems off. On one hand, the common phrase is, "life as we know it" when talking about any sort of life outside of earth. Well, first off, I would bet my life that there are forms of life out there that could never have been thought of by the best sci-fi writers. Fair enough, we only know what we know and can only compare against same. SO, I find it more than a bit ironic that when something like, I don't know, dimethyl sulfide is found in the atmosphere of another planet, the knee jerk reaction is literally, "Nope, not extraterrestrial life. It is a compound that we can literally only understand in its connection to biological creatures, a telltale sign, but not there. " It is so hard not to come away feeling like it is a purposeful ignorance. Almost like somebody is too freaked out to be the first to say something. Sooo, then how will you know when you find it. I mean, shit, at this point, we have entire governments, including the U.S. saying there are things already here that cannot be explained and that literally break the laws of physics "as we understand them" that it truly makes me think we are going to find some ancient bacteria on Mars and it will instantly be explained away as an accident or anomaly or some crap. It's behavior I have only seen reserved for this topic. I digress.
The tumbling aspect is interesting. Has anyone observed or calculated it's rotational mass? I'm curious to see if it could fulfill the concept of "artificial gravity".
Ahh, this is such a great mystery. For once fantasts and scientists are absolutely equal in their guesswork of what that thing actually was as it _both_ behaved in a decidely peculkiar and inexplicaple way while in sight, and, now it's no longer in sight, we have no hope of ever finding out. ..well, not unless it was indeed an alien prope and whoever sent it got intrigued enough to also send a exploration mission to investigate this life-teeming planet they found. Then we'd find out, ok.
1. They missed a great opportunity to call it Rama 2. While there is probably nothing special about it and it really is just some rock... it was interesting that it behaved exactly like what we would expect to see from a spacecraft traveling from one star system to another with the way it did a slingshot around the sun.
Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe I'm remembering incorrectly But isn't hydrogen emissions observable through the UV spectrum? No 1 bothered to check the UV Side of the spectrum when observing observing This object ?

I heard rumours of a film, but have heard nothing since.
Rendezvous With Rama was a great book.
"We have no idea what it is" is probably the most responsible statement you can make about ISOs....
In January 2022, researchers proposed Project Lyra, where a spacecraft launched from Earth could catch up to 'Oumuamua in 26 years for closer studies.
i don’t think you understand
that it is not possible.
and quite the waste of recourses.
It was possible at the time, by using huge rocket to launch a tiny probe. Probability not possible today, unless you use a starship to launch a cubesat. And yes a waste of resources.
