Interstellar Traveler Oumuamua Mystery Solved

2017 interstellar asteroid Oumuamua, which means “a messenger from afar arriving first”, made big headlines because its trajectory “violated gravitational laws”. Oumuamua on its way out of Solar system had a higher-than-expected velocity, and its trajectory shifted outside of the expected hyperbolic trajectory: <iframe frameborder="0" height="480" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FfdfD-Bj2RBE%3Ffeature%3Doembed&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DfdfD-Bj2RBE&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FfdfD-Bj2RBE%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" title="The Unexpected Trajectory of Interstellar Asteroid 'Oumuamua" width="854"></iframe> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdfD-Bj2RBE" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdfD-Bj2RBE</a> Newton’s gravitational force F (between masses m and M at distance R by formula F=G×m×M/R², where G is some constant) is responsible for circular and elliptical planetary (and asteroids’) orbits, and for parabolic and hyperbolic trajectories of asteroids: <a href="https://medium.com/timematters/interstellar-traveler-oumuamua-mystery-solved-494623ae994e">Read More</a>
