The First Results on the Interstellar Asteroid!

The video discusses two unique asteroids: Oumuamua, an interstellar object, and 3200 Phaethon, known for its meteor shower. Oumuamua, initially thought to be a comet, is more like a rocky asteroid and has a unique elongated shape. Its study helps confirm the normalcy of our solar system.
