First known interstellar visitor combined lightcurve drama with anti-hype responsibilities.
This long read belongs to VortexCelest’s Asteroids & Comets tour, grouped under “Interstellar.” We keep one foot in mission logistics and another in the classroom—so trajectories, surfaces, and space weather never drift into mythology.
Non-gravitational hints
Outgassing models duel with exotic solid physics—spectra stayed shy.
Lightcurve gymnastics
Aspect ratios stretched imagination; nature rarely picks boring.
Pedagogy win
A teaching moment about priors, publishing, and cosmic humility.
Canoe meme
Interstellar canoe—paddle not included, panic optional.
