Comet_Borisov_-_GIF_3.gifFrom far away: the Comet Borisov through the Solar System (GIF-Movie)284 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.

Da dove viene? Dove va?

... Ma che importa, alla fine?!?.....
