Discovery Alert: Glowing Cloud Points to a Cosmic Collision
A radiant cosmic cloud has actually exposed a catastrophic crash.Even within our own planetary system, researchers have actually seen proof of giant, planetary crashes from long back. Staying ideas like Uranus' tilt and the presence of Earth's moon indicate times in our remote history when the worlds in our excellent area knocked together, permanently altering their shape and location in orbit. Researchers looking outside our planetary system to away exoplanets can identify comparable proof that, throughout deep space, worlds often crash. In this brand-new research study, the proof of such an effect originates from a cloud of dust and gas with an unusual, changing luminosity.Researchers were observing a young (300-million-year-old) Sun-like star when they saw something odd: the star unexpe...
