Oumuamua!

As odd as the name may sound, it is that of an interstellar object that flew past our sun back in 2017. What was conspired to be an Alien messenger, a Weird space tech, and even a Spaceship, just turned out to be an Elongated pile of space rubble that did something in an environment we don't understand.

Join Omkar and Nikhil on this podcast, where they talk about what Oumuamua did, what it is made of, what makes it different from a comet, and more interestingly, how it managed not to get sucked by the sun's gravitational force despite approaching the sun so close; among other topics.

Who knows, Oumuamua's story might make you chef's kiss the idea of interstellar visitors- Oh muah muah!
