There is no doubt about the fact that our universe is strange. Just look outside and you'll see all kinds of self-propagating exotic plants and animals, crawling on a blue ball of semi-expanded rocks covered with a thin, hard shell and covered with a layer of gas. However, our planet represents a small fraction of the strange phenomena that can be found lurking throughout space and the universe.
Every day, astronomers reveal new surprises. In this article, we take a look at some strange creatures found in space
Strangest objects found in space!
Mysterious radio signals
Since 2007, researchers have been receiving high-speed radio signals lasting only a few thousandths of a second. These mysterious gifts are called rapid radio bursts (FRBs), and they appear to be coming from billions of light-years. Recently, scientists have been able to capture repeated FRB signals, which have flashed six times in a row, the second signal of their kind ever, and could help them uncover this mystery.
Nuclear pasta
The most powerful substance in the universe is formed from the remains of a dead star. According to simulations, the protons and neutrons in the shell of the compressive star can come under insane gravitational pressure, which presses them into the linguine entanglement of the materials they can pick up - but only if the force applied to them, is 10 billion times the needed to break steel.
A moon revolves around a moon
What is better than the moon? A moon revolves around a moon! This phenomenon is called Submoon, Moonitos, and many other names. Calculations about this phenomenon still indicate that nothing is impossible in the universe!
The most strange star!
When astronomer Tabitha Boyagian of Louisiana State University and her colleagues saw the star known as KIC 846285 for the first time, they were startled! The star named Tabby is a very bright object at irregular intervals and for strange lengths of time. Most researchers believe that the star is surrounded by an abnormal dust ring that causes shading.
Directed neutrons
The high-energy neutrons that hit the Earth on September 22, 2017, were not the only ones. Astronomers at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica have detected neutrons of similar energy at least once a month. Scientists have discovered that this radiation from high-energy neutrons was dumped on Earth four billion years ago by a massive black hole in the middle of a galaxy that was consuming the surrounding materials.
The living fossil galaxy
DGSAT I is a very different galaxy, which means it is a large galaxy like the Milky Way, but it spreads its stars so great that they are almost invisible. When scientists first saw the galaxy in 2016, they noticed that it was taking a single spot, unlike other galaxies in groups. DGSAT I properties indicate that they formed in a completely different era in the universe, nearly a billion years ago or after the Big Bang. This made the DGSAT I galaxy a living fossil in outer space.
A stream of infrared radiation in space
Neutron stars are very dense stars that form after the death of a regular star. Usually, these stars emit from radio waves or higher-energy radiation like X-rays, but in September 2018, astronomers found a long stream of infrared light coming from a neutron star 800 light-years from Earth - something unprecedented from Before. Researchers have suggested that a disk of dust surrounding a neutron star can generate the signal, but no final explanation has been found.
Twilight rogue planets
200 light-years from Earth's Earth, rogue planets roam more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter. This field is strong enough to generate a flashing twilight in its atmosphere, and the aurora can be seen via radio telescopes.
