Abstract

1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua), a recently discovered asteroid in a hyperbolic orbit, is likely the first macroscopic object of extrasolar origin identified in the solar system. This paper mainly gives reasons why ‘Oumuamua should be a comet, by explaining three unusual behaviors of ‘Oumuamua which are unnormal ratio, strange track eccentricity, and Peculiar Acceleration; disproving four main hypothesizes to say ʻOumuamua is not a comet, then provide an evidence of reflectivity of surface of ʻOumuamua to prove ʻOumuamua in a regular interval of comet group. Thus, ʻOumuamua is most likely to be a comet.

Since I was moving my telescope to my school for my Astronomy Club, I putted it for a long time because my club is still weak and no one in the club could be seem as a real club member. But I setted up a small observation recently with another guy who are not in my club, and I took 16 photos of moon by my lovely A7RIII, however, the truth prove that it is useless to stack 16 photos, but I think it is a nice try.

最近的确没怎么花时间在天文上，以至于27号才知道要吃。一开始得知这月很小就有点不情愿，但想想别这么懒嘛，就激励我自己一下：

毕竟一晚上没睡，现在还是浑浑噩噩的状态。我当时想，拍月球嘛，要啥GOTO导，抱着镜筒就是干，然后发现月球相对速度在望远镜里快的一*，所以血月就有点糊。

还是挺开心的，more and more ：）
