A million guests of murmur licking oort in the cloud

Our In our own solar system, more than one million of the foreign destinations may be lurking.

This is the evaluators of astronomers Cole Gregg and Paully wishes from the Canadian Western University. Their calculations focused on space destinations from our immediate neighborhood, the Alfa Kentaur star system.

Greggin and Wiegert have included all the sites that are at least the size of a statue of liberty in New York. The Statue of Liberty with its stands is about 93 meters high.

The guest songs tell you Website Live Science. The calculation of astronomers has been published Online Service in Arxive. The calculation has also been approved for publication a science magazine The Planetary Science Journalissa.

Our solar system It may have grabbed the songs of space that were thrown from Alfa Kentaur for themselves.

However, the newcomers do not appear on the Earth. They are part of the distant oort cloud, which is a large cloud of icy and rocky pieces on the outside of our solar system. From time to time, comets will also appear from there as they drift into the sun.

Oort’s cloud has never been seen. However, astronomers have certified the existence of the cloud through invoices made with comets.

Gregg and Wiegert’s modeling calculated how much interstellar material has been thrown from Alfa Kentaur over one hundred million years.

Alfa The field’s star system includes three stars. The Alfa Centaur himself is a twin star.

The third star is the dwarf star Proxima centauri, which is the nearest star in our sun. It is located about 4.25 light years from us.

The foreign destinations that ended up in our solar system may never come close to the globe.

Only In recent years, songs that come to visit from interstellar space, perhaps also from Alfa Kentaur, have been able to detect songs.

The most famous of these is Ouamuamua, which in 2017 swept through our solar system in about 80 days. Oumaamua was about 400 meters long and cigar shaped.

Another famous is the comet Borisov, which was observed in 2019. It remained in our solar system for months.
