comets Trajectory of ‘Oumuamua and wandering Sun, alien asteroids and comets detected by SOHO By blogs.scienceforums.net Published On :: Wed, 26 Apr 2023 18:32:17 +0000 The apparent non‑gravitational acceleration the extra-solar-system ‘Oumuamua exhibits is puzzling. We find that when the position and velocity of the Sun is correctly set in computing the predicted orbit, ‘Oumuamua’s trajectory can be explained with gravity and we have reproduced the unexpected gap by computation. We also propose to search for new extra-solar-system high speed... Full Article SFN Blogs Uncategorized
