Mysterious Object Screaming Toward Mars Is Huge and Far More Massive Than Scientists Thought, According to New Paper
For more than two months, astronomers closely follow the solar system at a speed of love, because they closely follow an interstellar object called 3/Atlas.
The unusual visitor was only the third object beyond the solar system that was found so far after the ‘Oumuamua’, which was discovered in 2017 and 2i/Borisov in 2019.
Researchers were often fascinated by the object, which was believed to be a comet, found that it consisted of more carbon dioxide than expected.
Now, Harvard Avi Loeb, who extensively examines the likelihood of 3i/Atlas to be a work of an developed extraterrestrial civilization, suggests that the object could be much greater than before.
By analyzing the orbit, Loeb and his colleagues found that “non -resident acceleration” was “smaller than 49 feet per day”. Last blog post. We also know how much mass pour in the form of gases and dust particles.
Loeb, Loeb, “3/Atlas mass should be greater than 33 billion tons,” revealed.
“As a result, the diameter of the solid density seed should be larger. [3.1 miles]”He finished, roughly The best of the existing estimatesHubble space is based on telescope observations.
Considering that 3i/jump will make the üç three to five sizes ”larger than ‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, a quarter miles and 0.6 miles length, respectively.
According to Loeb, considering how little we have detected the interstellar object so far, another mixed evidence that emphasizes the pure rareness of the object.
“Considering the limited reservoir of heavy elements, we should discover the sequence of a hundred thousand -thousand -thousand -star object on a scale of 0.1 kilometers before finding 3/atlas, but we have only identified only two -star objects,” he wrote in his blog post.
Loeb also said that the extremely extraordinary orbit of the object brought him close to Jupiter, Mars and Venus. In a little more than a week, 3i/atlas will be a “remarkable fine adjustment” of the road to the orbit of only 1.67 million miles around the sun, a astronomer. previously discussed.
Astrohisicist reiterated that it is an extremely rare and exciting opportunity to point to NASA’s Hirise camera, which is connected to NASA’s Mars reconnaissance orbit to get a more detailed look for NASA’s Mars reconnaissance orbit to get a more detailed look.
“The amount of sunlight reflected from the brightest pixel in Hirise image will further restrict the core surface area for a default Albedo value, Loeb wrote.
We even hope that 3i/Atlas is a deliberate alien technology piece. The Hirise Camera, if the object of the object is “larger [3.1 miles]At that time, a origin associated with the interstellar mass reservoir of the rocky material cannot be defended. ”He said.
“3i/Atlas is an unusual chemical composition in an unusual rare orbit or alien technology? Gave results. “In both cases, the object can pour CO2 and H2O ICES from the material collected on the frozen surface when it is applied from the interchangeable and interstellar space.”
“Based on the chemical composition of the skin, we should not decide the nature of the atlas, Loeb added Loeb, ız We should not judge a book from the cover for the same reason.”
