Oumuamua: The first messenger
Oumuamua is the first external object observed to penetrate our solar system. It was first observed on October 19, 2017. At first, astronomers thought it was a comet, but after a few days it was reclassified as an interstellar object. After Harvard professor Avi Loeb has written a book about Oumuamua, the speculation has started and the media is flooded with observations of UFOs.
Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories talks to Professor Uffe Gråe Jørgensen from the Niels Bohr Institute about what we can learn from Oumuamua and about man's longing to meet representatives of foreign civilizations.
