Orbit from osculating elements
1I/'Oumuamua is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = -1.3 AU, e = 1.201, i = 122.7°).
First confirmed interstellar object. Discovered October 2017. Unusual elongated shape and slight acceleration sparked scientific debate about its nature.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
1I/'Oumuamua is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = -1.3 AU, e = 1.201, i = 122.7°).
1I/'Oumuamua: mean radius 0.1 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
The surface is a procedural shape unless a source record above says otherwise. It is not a measured shape model.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
