After so many years, what's the final take on ʻOumuamua's strange non-gravitational acceleration away from the Sun?
The big mystery was that the object moved much faster around the Sun, suggesting it had its own energy source—similar to a comet, which expels gas and dust and thus creates a propulsive effect. However, none of these visual signs were observed with ʻOumuamua. So what's the final verdict—have we demystified it?
