Comet_Borisov_-_GIF_3.gifFrom far away: the Comet Borisov through the Solar System (GIF-Movie)287 visiteGuardate bene! EccoVi la differenza (REALE ed IN FATTO) tra un Fly-By and uno Swing-By...E senza dimenticare "Oumuamua"!
As the first known object of its type, Oumuamua presented a unique case for the International Astronomical Union (IAU, for short), which assigns designations for astronomical objects. Originally classified as comet C/2017 U1, it was later reclassified as Asteroid A/2017 U1, due to the absence of a coma (--> "Chioma", in Italian).
Once it was unambiguously identified as coming from outside the Solar System, a new designation was created.
The name comes from the Hawaiian word "oumuamua", meaning 'scout' (from ou, meaning 'reach out for', and mua, reduplicated for emphasis, meaning 'first, in advance of', and reflects the way this object is like a scout or messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to Humanity.
It roughly translates to 'first distant messenger' (or "The First Messenger from the distance").
Before the official name was decided upon, the name "Rama" was suggested by the name given to an Alien Spacecraft discovered under similar circumstances in the 1973 science fiction novel "Rendezvous with Rama", by Sir Arthur C. Clarke.MareKromium01/20/21 at 17:56Ufologo: Mah ... A mesembra solo una "scheggia", ...

EROS-PIA02927.jpgEros' Boulders127 visiteNEAR Shoemaker images have shown many large boulders on Eros' surface, but seldom are the boulders as big and as close as the ones in this image taken on June 20, 2000, from an altitude of 51 Km. Nestled within the 700-meter (2300-foot) diameter crater at the center of the picture are four particularly large rocks whose tops protrude out from the shadowed crater interior and into sunlight. The center boulder, the largest, is about 100 meters (330 feet) across. The whole scene is approximately 1.9 Km across.09/05/20 at 17:06MareKromium: Eheheheheheh...
