# The natural history of 'Oumuamua

The 'Oumuamua ISSI Team, Michele T. Bannister, Asmita Bhandare et al., 2019. _Nature Astronomy_.

The review by the International Space Science Institute team, which finds that in every case the observations are consistent with a purely natural origin and explains each property by analogy with Solar System minor bodies and planetary-system evolution, while listing what remains open. Nature Astronomy 3, 594-602.
