What 1st fucking ever? That shows how NARROW and FOOLISHLY LIMITED and IGNORANT & ARROGANCE of Ang Moh.
Fucking Universe has 13,8 billion years of history.
Solar System history is 4.6 billion years.
Man since caveman = 3.4 million years.
Objects had been flying over without the ignorant man understand nor noticed any, until recently, and the modern civilization has just for first fucking time be able to notice once. That is a HUGE DIFF from claiming that such thing had never happened before. Stupid modern civilization man think that their own existence marks the beginning of time.
Man is totally insignificant in the whole universe and time and existence of man is a very insignificant and temporary matter, duration is too short even to be considered as negligible in the big picture. Everything is still happening in their own way in the universe, with or without man, and most of which man have no ability to know or understand or notice.
Fucking education puts shit in people's brains and teach them to be self-centered, selfish, coward, greedy and ignorant. Chiak Sai!

First-ever interstellar object enters our solar system

This artist’s impression shows the first interstellar asteroid: `Oumuamua. This unique object was discovered on 19 October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawai`i. Subsequent observations from ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile and other observatories around the world show that it was travelling through space for millions of years before its chance encounter with our star system. `Oumuamua seems to be a dark red highly-elongated metallic or rocky object, about 400 metres long, and is unlike anything normally found in the Solar System.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A newly discovered object from another star system that’s passing through ours is shaped like a giant pink fire extinguisher. (Note: The above image is an artist’s rendering.)
That’s the word this week from astronomers who have been observing this first-ever confirmed interstellar visitor.
“I’m surprised by the elongated shape — nobody expected that,” said astronomer David Jewitt of the University of California, Los Angeles, who led the observation team that reported on the characteristics.
Scientists are certain this asteroid or comet originated outside our solar system. First spotted last month by the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii, it will stick around for another few years before departing our sun’s neighborhood.

It was given the name “Oumuamua,” which in Hawaiian means a messenger from afar arriving first. (Rob Ratkowski/University of Hawaii via AP)
Jewitt and his international team observed the object for five nights in late October using the Nordic Optical Telescope in the Canary Islands and the Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona.
At approximately 100 feet by 100 feet by 600 feet (30 meters by 30 meters by 180 meters), the object has proportions roughly similar to a fire extinguisher — though not nearly as red, Jewitt said Thursday. The slightly red hue — specifically pale pink — and varying brightness are remarkably similar to asteroids in our own solar system, he noted.
Astronomer Jayadev Rajagopal said in an email that it was exciting to point the Arizona telescope at such a tiny object “which, for all we know, has been traveling through the vast emptiness of space for millions of years.”
“And then by luck passes close enough for me to be able to see it that night!”
The object is so faint and so fast — it’s zooming through the solar system at 40,000 mph (64,000 kph) — it’s unlikely amateur astronomers will see it.
In a paper to the Astrophysical Journal Letters, the scientists report that our solar system could be packed with 10,000 such interstellar travelers at any given time. It takes 10 years to cross our solar system, providing plenty of future viewing opportunities, the scientists said.
Trillions of objects from other star systems could have passed our way over the eons, according to Jewitt.
It suggests our solar system ejected its own share of asteroids and comets as the large outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune — formed.
Why did it take so long to nail the first interstellar wanderer?
“Space is big and our eyes are weak,” Jewitt explained via email.
Anticipating more such discoveries, the International Astronomical Union already has approved a new designation for cosmic interlopers. They get an “I″ for interstellar in their string of letters and numbers. The group also has approved a name for this object: Oumuamua (OH’-moo-ah-moo-ah) which in Hawaiian means a messenger from afar arriving first.
