Science has been advancing by giant steps. This is largely due because in recent times there were enormous technological advances by the hand of artificial intelligence and multiple developments. These advances promise from the cure of terrible diseases such as cancer to travel to space. A completely novel future seems to be hitting our doors. But this unexpected finding left everyone speechless. They seem Two monsters that staggered each other in the cosmos.
Monsters that dance?
Despite these great advances, science has not yet managed to understand many aspects of the universe. The unknown for example about its complete composition, its origin, the process of its evolution, or the nature of the behavior of dark matter or if there is something beyond the observable universe. But new investigation threw New data that break with the previous schemes of astronomers.
The specialists warn, what they found should not be there. Since the study confirms to the existence of two mysterious celestial objects that should not be orbiting in such a low dough star, such as dancing. Until now, this behavior was identified only with stars with a greater amount of mass, so it surprised everyone.
The protagonist of this finding is the Gaia space probe of the ES that managed to give with Gaia-4b an exoplanet and Gaia-5b, a brown dwarf. The first is a planet that orbits around the Gaia-4 star, located at a distance of 244 light years. While the second orbit the Gaia-5 star, about 134 light years from the earth. These two objects are very close within our own galactic neighborhood and aroused everyone’s curiosity.
How was you able to capture these two monsters?
This record was possible thanks to the novel technology of Gaia, the ambitious mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) to create a three -dimensional map of our galaxy that surprised the world. For this, it gathers key information to reveal the composition of the galaxy, combining astrometric and radial speed data. In this way, astronomers can find unique details to create visualizations never seen.
Since its launch in 2013, Gaia has been building this Super three -dimensional map, the largest and most precise of our entire galaxy. In this process he was scanning the sky with his two optical telescopes, repeatedly to the different positions of two billion objects with unprecedented precision. Due to this wonderful work, the movement of the stars and find the finding was accurately followed.
The construction of an increasingly detailed image is due not only to the repeated scan of stars. Gaia’s activity to achieve map development also uses terrestrial spectroscopic data and radial speed technique to investigate these stars. This allowed the discovery of these monsters: the first planet and the first brown dwarf.
Only the tip of the iceberg
Experts confirm that a planet that orbits around a star creates a small gravitational shaking that causes A staggering in the star around its center of mass and a displacement similar to that of a sacking through the sky. Previously, other telescopes pointed out the existence of some mass brown dwarfs that observed their weak brightness with bright stars that Gaia had detected that wobble.
The finding of these stars that left the world in shock and their particular behavior can only be the tip of the iceberg. From the hand of Gaia technology, it is estimated that you can advance with giant steps towards the discovery of exoplanets. When the next records are published, it will contain 5.5 years of mission data. It is thought that this could discover thousands of brown planets and dwarfs around nearby stars. Undoubtedly, this development represents a huge advance towards a deeper understanding about the less and less mysterious universe that surrounds us.
