Scientists determine ‘Oumuamua isn’t made from molecular hydrogen ice after all – Phys.org
The debate over the origins and molecular structure of ‘Oumuamua continued today with an announcement in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that despite earlier promising claims, the interstellar object is not made of molecular hydrogen ice after all.
The debate over the origins and molecular structure of ‘Oumuamua continued today with an announcement in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that despite earlier promising claims, the interstellar object is not made of molecular hydrogen ice after all.
The earlier study, published by Seligman & Laughlin in 2020after observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope set tight limits on the outgassing of carbon-based moleculessuggested that if ‘Oumuamua were a hydrogen iceberg, then the pure hydrogen…
