A related article:
The interstellar interloper will now be referred to as 'Oumuamua, which means "a messenger from afar arriving first" in Hawaiian.
The name reflects the object's discovery by a Hawaii-based astronomer using an observatory on Maui.
>>>
"U1 may provide the first direct evidence that planetary systems around other stars ejected objects as they formed," said Dr Rajagopal.
The object has also been given the more formal designation of 1I/2017 U1 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which is responsible for naming celestial bodies.
The "I" in this formal name stands for "interstellar" object, similar to the "C" and "A" in the designations for comets and asteroids, respectively.
'Oumuamua is the first object to carry the "I" in front of its name.

U1: You won. "a messenger from afar arriving first"
It appears to be a dark, reddish, highly-elongated rocky or high-metal-content object.

It’s 400 meters long ad about 60 meters across.
If it were to hit earth at 10,000 mph it will kill every living thing.

Hi.
Someone on another thread said that if it starts to slow down it will be a very big deal.
If it does slow down and they aren’t friendlies, I’m going to shoot them. Until the ammo runs out.
