Here’s a *natural* scenario for #Oumuamua, a new paper by Amaya Moro-Martín: “Could 1I/'Oumuamua be an icy fractal aggregate ejected from a protoplanetary disk? A fluffy radiation-pressure-driven scenario” arxiv.org/abs/1902.04100

However being an #astronomy & globular cluster nerd I was distracted by the caption saying this image at the top of the page was of a spiral galaxy. It’s actually the globular cluster M80 in our galaxy. amazing-space.stsci.edu/resource_page/… pic.twitter.com/KFnbQUu2uI

This blog post by @Astro_Wright is worth a 2nd tweet. It's an excellent, nuanced & sophisticated discussion about SETI, & Avi Loeb’s argument that ‘Oumuamua might have alien origins. It refers to tweets by @SciBry & @EricMamajek sites.psu.edu/astrowright/20…
