"Oumuamua appears to have originated at the Local Standard of Rest (LSR), which is the galactic frame of reference." Is a very interesting side-note

Wikipedia says:

> In fact, the strong correlation between ʻOumuamua's velocity and the local standard of rest might mean that it has circulated the Milky Way several times and thus may have originated from an entirely different part of the galaxy.

That really does just make it that much more interesting. Here’s hoping we get a perfect sequence of coincidences to inspect a similar object someday.
