The Mysterious Object Cruising Toward Mars Is Doing Something Very Peculiar
A mysterious object from interstellar space is currently screaming from our solar system and is expected to pass Mars and Jupiter before going into the gap between the stars in the coming months.
Astronomers concluded that after the discovery in July, it was a comet consisting of ice and dust particles, fascinated by the unusual visitor called 3i/Atlas.
As the object approaches the nearest point to our sun, it gives a growing tail that increases continuously because it is believed to pour gas and dust.
And attractively, according to the images taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the object does not only grow a tail, but also a separate “tail -preventive” showing the direction of the sun. As Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb suggested in a new way, Unpublished Paper.
Loeb, “Anti-Kuyruk, 3/Atlas around the scattered sunlight is an extension of the glow. Blog post. He continued: “It was not the result of the geometric perspective, but this abnormal-small anti-righteous, the solar system-comet has never been reported before.”
Loeb and other Harvard Astrophysicist Eric Keto suggest that these anti -queue ice pieces can be the result of pouring from the surface of 3/atlas instead of “refractory dust particles as assumed before”.
This strange new extension represents an extension of the snow line or the survival of an ice grain in the sun direction. “
While the researchers consisted of most carbon dioxide, most of the 3I/atlas mass, “the longest surfing grains are mostly evaporated water (H2O) ice (H2O) than carbon dioxide”.
“Ice pieces evaporated after a while, but due to the increasing mass loss on the sun -facing side, more of the larger parts can reach a wide distance.” Futurism In an e-mail, “Anti-Test glow, that is, a glitter extended towards the sun.”
Astronomers Examining the object using a large number of high -power space telescope from NASA, including James Webb Found before the object of the object or gas and dust Carbon dioxide surrounding the nucleus has a much higher rate than expected.
The last visitor also, as Loeb suggested, was observed in the absence of iron, ranging from red to a blue-green glow showing “a steep increase in cyanide production”. Previous Blog post.
Loeb, “Natural Tailed Stars, both elements of the supernova explosions are produced together in the Ejecta, naturally demonstrate at the same time iron and nickel shows.” Blog post last month.
Loeb’s most title allegations around the object called the possibility that 3i/Atlas could be sent to us by an extraterrestrial civilization. However, the more data comes, the more a foreign genre, it is possible that we can look at a comet year.
Nevertheless, a fascinating visitor – and in 2017 Oimuamua and 2i/Borisov in 2019, only the third interstellar object was detected.
In the latest blog post, Loeb, “Total, 3i/Atlas, the first -star object that does not show a sign of gas or dust around, but still does not exhibit acceleration is different from 1i/’Oumuamua.” “It is also different from the second International object 2i/Borisov, who acts like a familiar comet.”
3/Atlas will provide an unprecedented opportunity to direct space probes to examine space probes more closely as the Atlas approaches the sun.
However, time is running out quickly and it gives scientists very little time to act.
