Just to add some info about the image...
"Artist's concept of interstellar asteroid 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua)"
What you see here is a drawing (computer generated by the artist, likely,) not a photo. I'm not suggesting that this asteroid is not interesting, but the drawing looks a bit too much like an ancient spaceship (at least SF version of.)
The article linked to above was honest and my quote was a copy from the site. Many other sites, however, are not adding the artist's concept notice.
To be sure, I wish it were so...an ancient spaceship using our solar system as a means of direction change and acceleration. How much fun would that be?
