> AscendingNode's tweet is in error: It's using the basic find_orb fit (which tries to fit the object's observations to a parabolic orbit) without taking into account the fact that it COULD be interstellar.
> You'll notice quite clearly, that in the follow-up tweets they make, that they give residuals in the orbit on the order of 6-9 whole arcseconds. It's quite bothersome that everyone I've been talking to has been re-quoting the tweet all day.
