New observations of the Solar System's first known interstellar asteroid, A/2017 U1, has revealed new and unusual information regarding our visitor from afar, including its size, color -- and that it is shaped like a cigar.
Using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, astronomers have found that the asteroid, now named 'Oumuamua, is a dark red color, much like other Kuiper belt objects that orbit on the extreme fringes of the solar system.
