It was originally classified as an asteroid, but was observed venting gas outgassing, which is typical of comets, and was reclassified. Oumuamua measures up to 400 metres long and is thought to be 10 times as long as it is wide. Photo by DETLEV VAN RAVENSWAAYSCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Stock Photo - Afloimages
