On the Anomalous Acceleration of 1I/2017 U1 `Oumuamua Darryl Seligman, Gregory Laughlin, Konstantin Batygin (Submitted on 12 Mar 2019)

How accurately can we predict its future path (since it's been invisible since Jan 2018?) ? (eg if we did try to send a chaser spacecraft to get closeup images) - Rod57 (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
