The mysterious celestial body was named “ʻOumuamua.” Because it was discovered by a telescope on Hawaii’s Maui Island, its name means “first messenger from afar” in Hawaiian. That alone was a major shock, but its extremely peculiar properties, such as dramatic brightness fluctuations and mysterious acceleration, even prompted the theory that “it may be a probe sent by a civilization other than Earth's.”
