American astronomers recorded for the first time a flash inside the Milky Way galaxy, which arose as a result of a planet colliding with a star in the constellation of the Eagle, according to RT.
The subsequent absorption of the remains of the destroyed world by this star. This was announced on Wednesday, May 3, by the press service of the Association of Universities that conduct astronomical research.
Kechalay D, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: “We have witnessed what awaits the Earth in the distant future, and if the inhabitants of other planets observe this process from a similar distance, about 10 thousand light years, they will also see a bright flash on the surface of the sun, as if It suddenly throws part of its matter into space, and then they will see how a giant cloud of dust will appear around the star.”
Over the past two decades, astronomers have discovered more than ten thousand planets orbiting distant stars, including planets similar to Earth and other worlds in the solar system, and a large part of these outer worlds are located at a very short distance from their stars, and as a result we see them doomed to destruction. often by stars as they age and turn into red giants.”
As explained by Kechalai D and colleagues, the death of these worlds will come because temperatures in the cores of all sun-like stars gradually rise as their hydrogen reserves are depleted, leading to a gradual expansion of the outer limits of the star and the absorption of nearby planets.
Our planet and other planets await a similar fate, according to most astronomers, after about 7-7.5 billion years.
Subsequent analysis of the images of the star, taken at the time of the formation of the flash, indicated that the sharp increase in the star’s brightness was accompanied by an expulsion of material whose total mass increased by about 33-34 times that of Earth’s mass. Jupiter and the subsequent destruction of this outer world.
Dee and his colleagues said the images and data collected while observing this cosmic event will help astronomers discover other examples of planets and stars colliding in near space.
