Astronomers may have discovered 3rd-known interstellar visitor

Apparently, our solar system becomes more popular outside the city.

Astronomers may have found a third interstellar object with origins beyond our own solar system.

The first interstellar object ‘omumuamua, Discovered in 2017. It was a comet called the latter 2i Borisov.

This new object, which is temporarily called A11PL3z by the International Association of Astronomy Small planetary centerThe asteroid effect was discovered using a questionnaire called the final warning system (Atlas), which was average asteroid terrestrial effect, which served as an early warning system. It is not believed that A11PL3Z poses any danger to the world.

“Now we have observations showing that more than a week’s orbit is quite clearly intersed,” Paul Weigert, who is a professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy in London of Western University. He said. “He travels very quickly to be connected to the sun, and that’s why he probably came to us from outside our solar system.”

Whether it’s an asteroid or comet star, it is not known what the object is right now.

When he was first discovered, ‘Oimuamua was believed to be a rectangular asteroid, but follow -up observations was a comet starJust like 2i Borisov.

The reason why astronomers believe A11PL3Z It comes beyond our solar system, stems from something called eccentricity.

Periodic comet stars of the sun repeatedly tend to have eccentricities between 0.2 and 0.7. Those with greater numbers than someone are considered as hyperbolic comets and probably Oort cloud It surrounds our solar system and contains billions of icy objects. It may also indicate that an object is beyond our solar system.

Objects with high eccentricities indicate that they come beyond the solar system. In this case, it is estimated that A11PL3Z has six eccentricities at the moment. As the scientists collect more data over time, this number is likely to change.

So what do we know?

“Currently, beyond Mars’s orbit, so far away, Weigert said. “Almost in Jupiter’s orbit, but it comes in. It will not be much closer than Mars’ orbit … It will be at the closest point in October, so it will begin to leave the solar system after a few months and then.”

Good news for the world.

As for the size, more will be known over time, but now the indicator is something big.

“Probably about 10 kilometers in diameter, Weigert said, the largest of the three -star visitors who have ever observed so far.

So, are we sure that there is no unidentified flying object (UFO) or an unidentified abnormal phenomenon (UAP), an unidentified flying object (UFO), which is an unidentified term, which is a term used by scientists to describe things that are not observed in the sky?

“Well, as certain as possible,” Weigert said. He continued: “He did not show any unusual behavior. He travels only from the solar system exactly as we expect for an interstate object … There is no indication that it is unusual in this sense.”

Uap for enthusiasts.

Anyway, you can be sure that all large telescopes now have views of A11PL3Z. A new time is an exciting time Vera C. Observatory in Chile has become operationalWeigert is expected to discover 10 of these objects every year.

Why did we start to explore these objects?

“Probably, these things go through the solar system more or less regularly, and now only our telescopes are healed.” He said. He continued: “We make our surveys deeper and deeper in the area around us, in fact, we started to catch these things.”

For Weigert, which focuses largely on asteroids and comets, a dream takes a dream to examine these objects closely and to examine them personally.

“When you look at the night sky and you see all these stars, that is, the beauties are incredible, but it is incredible to think that they are really far away,” he said. “At the same time… The lice and parts of these star systems are traveling to us. And they come to our understanding of some kind of understanding.”
