'Oumuamua
'Oumuamua has a rotation period of 8.1 hours,
similar to Kuiper Belt objects implying a common origin in the vast depths of interstellar/intergalactic space. RDS [[Mod. note -- I don't think the implication is quite that strong. Oumuamua clearly isn't Rama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama (which was said to have a 4 minute rotation period), but it's hardly implausible that some bodies originating in different places might have roughly similar rotation periods. -- jt]] |
