Perhaps astronomers have discovered a famous visitor among the stars

Our solar system seems to have become more popular with the most prominent.

Astronomers may have found a third object among the stars, which is the origins of origins to our solar system.

The first being among the stars was Omuamua, Discover in 2017. The second was guilty called 2i Borisov.

This new object, which was temporarily appointed A11pl3z by the International Astronomical Union Small planet centerIt was discovered using a scanning telescope called the last asteroid ground alert system (ATLAS), which acts as an early asteroid. It is not believed that the A11pl3z poses any danger to the ground.

“We now have notes from more than a week or so indicating that the orbit between the stars is clearly,” said Paul Wittrt, a professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Western University in London. “He travels very quickly so that he does not adhere to the sun, so he came to us from outside our solar system.”

It is not known at the present time what is the object, whether it is an asteroid or guilty.

When discovered for the first time, it was believed that Omuamua was a rectangular asteroid, but the follow -up notes confirmed it Be guiltyAs it was 2i Borisov at a later time.

The reason for the belief of astronomers A11pl3z It comes from outside our solar system due to something called strange.

Periodic comets, which revolve around the sun over and over, tend to exist between 0.2 and 0.7. Those who have numbers larger than one consider excessive comets and are likely to be created from Ort Claude Which surrounds our solar system and contains billions of icebergs. It can also indicate that the object is outside our solar system.

High strange organisms indicate that they come from outside the solar system. In this case, it is currently estimated that the A11pl3z has a strange sixth. With astronomers collecting more data over time, this number is likely to change.

So what do we know?

“At the present time, it exceeds the orbit of Mars, so it is somewhat far away.” “It is almost in the orbit of Jupiter, but it will come inside. He will not approach more than the orbit of Mars … He will be at the closest point in October, so a few months after now, and after that he will leave and start out of the solar system.”

Good news for the land.

For its size, more will be known over time, but now it is indicated that it is large.

“It may exceed about 10 kilometers,” Wigrtert said, making it the largest number of three visitors among the stars so far.

Therefore, are we sure that it is not an unidentified flying (UAP) anonymous (UAP), a term that scientists use to describe the things that are observed in the sky that are still unknown?

“Well, we are certain,” Wikirat said. “No unusual behavior has been proven. He just travels through the solar system the exact way we expect it to an object between the stars … There is no indication that it is unusual in any way.”

Bummer for UAP lovers.

Whatever it is, you can be sure that all the main telescopes now have their attention on the A11pl3z. It is also an exciting time like new Vera C. Rubin has just been an observatory in Chile. Weightt says it is expected to discover one to 10 of these things every year.

Why have we just started discovering these things?

“It is assumed that these things pass through the solar system regularly or less regularly, and now now that our telescopes have improved,” Wimbirt said. “We make our polls deeper and deeper into the space around us, as we have already started picking up these things.”

For Wegert – whose research focuses heavily on asteroids and comets – studying these things closely and the character will be a dream.

“It is amazing to think that when you look at the sky of the night and see all these stars, I mean it is beautiful, it is great, but it is really far away,” he said. “At the same time … these parts and pieces of stars are traveling to us. They somewhat, they come to our grip.”
