With the development of space observation technologies, the number of important discoveries in space has increased. utilities solar system We are no longer so surprised when an unusual planet is discovered outside the United States. Still, it’s very exciting to take a look at current developments…

Evidence that Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is a “planet slayer”, the discovery of a spiral object at the center of the Milky Way and a star that destroys planets around it are only developments announced in the last 24 hours is under.

1. The mystery of the red pole of Pluto’s moon Charon has been discovered: now we know why it takes on such a color!

Although Pluto is considered a dwarf planet, it also has moons! Charon, a real photo you can see above, is also Pluto’s largest moon, but its radius is almost From Ankara to Izmir (606 kilometers). Indeed, what makes it mysterious is the red color at the north pole rather than its size. Scientists even call this area the Modor Macula (Macula: the center of the retina in our eye).

Recent research has revealed why the pole on Pluto’s moon Charon is red. There is no, sir, you say, methane gas going from Pluto to its satellite or interacting with UV rays from the sun… These kinds of discussions that have been going on for years are now over. The reason for the red color: seasonal change declared as.

Now “Is There A Season When There Is No Atmosphere?” We seem to hear the question. However, that is not the case. Because Charon orbits Pluto, it orbits the sun. Completes 1 round in 248 Earth years† In other words, while there are 248 springs on Earth, there is only one “well” in Churon. Of course, there is a simple explanation that spring is not a season when flowers bloom, but that it reaches higher temperatures simply because it gets closer to the sun. Meanwhile, it vaporizes a thin layer of frozen methane gas tens of microns thick at the warming North Pole.

Meanwhile, methane gas turns into ethane. The north pole, which is exposed to the sun’s rays and high-radiation particles because there is no atmosphere, turns pink, red, and red as a result of a series of chemical reactions. It is possible to compare the situation with an apple on the branch of a tree.

2. For the first time in history, the moments when a star destroyed the planets around it were recorded:

If our star, the sun, dies one day, what happens to the planets around it? The answer is simple, shattered…. However, this fragmentation is It has a mass about 8 times as dense as the Sun. In the case of white dwarfs, it’s not just because of the way giant rocks turn into grains of sand, but also chemically.

86 light-years from Earth G238-44 The star codenamed is in that explosive phase we’re talking about right now. This is such an explosion that it has a structure that brutally slaughters, swallows and absorbs the planets around it. For those who don’t know, let’s recall that a white dwarf star grows, expands and destroys the celestial bodies in its vicinity before exploding. Moreover, when we say “explosion”, this event is not an instant event that comes to mind, but because it is astronomical in magnitude, it takes place rather slowly compared to our perception of time.

Of course it is time for other planets you see. According to the astronomers who made the discovery, it is the first time in history that a white dwarf star has been observed absorbing objects and materials at both near and far distances. When all the materials it can absorb around the star are exhausted, it will turn into a red giant and the expected end will come true with a lot of noise. This process also applies to our star, the sun. in a few billion years It is expected to happen and turn into a giant big enough to gobble up Mars.

3. The star above isn’t the only thing swallowing the planets around it, but Jupiter’s past crimes have also come to light:

Jupiter, as you know, is a planet made up of condensed gases. anyway in Storms big enough for 8 Earths We don’t know yet if there is an Earth under its atmosphere. In other words, we can see this gigantic planet as dense gases trapped inside the glass sphere.

Due to its high gravity due to its size, there are currently 16 satellites in the vicinity whose existence has been definitively established. Some of these satellites As big as Mars and the Earth, so they are almost the size of a planet. But it is also known that there were more than these planet satellites before. So what happened to them, why did they disappear?

As Jupiter gets bigger, new findings show destroy “baby” planets, swallows. In fact, the remains of these planets were found for the first time as part of the research. It seems that due to its structure, Jupiter will remain the most mysterious planet in the solar system.

4. A Strange Object Orbiting At The Center Of The Milky Way Has Been Discovered: Is There A “Galaxy” At The Center Of The Milky Way?

Astronomers observing the center of the Milky Way have discovered a strange spiral structure around a star. Close to the extremely dense center of the galaxy, about 26,000 light-years from Earth, this structure is known to be a young star. The diameter of the gas and dust cloud around the star is also the distance between the Earth and the Sun. about 4000 times included as.

According to the findings, star structures with such disks are quite common in the universe. around them gas and dust cloud It shows that you are a young star. However, this newly discovered object, which is close to the center of our galaxy, is in a very dangerous area. In fact, researchers wonder how the object formed in such an area where gravity is extremely strong.

We will continue to communicate current developments, scientific research and results in the field of space.
