Astronomers are amazed by the discovery of two stars from the fastest eclipsing dual system which are rotating around themselves every seven minutes
As we know, when two big matters become united by each other’s gravity, they can be caught into a spiral, moving close one to another, spinning, until they merge, or unfortunately, die. Astronomers noticed something identical and stated that the two matters, in fact two stars, are doing the same thing, every seven minutes, making it the fastest eclipsing double structure that they ever met.
The discovery was developed using the extraordinary Zwicky Transient Facility, also called nicely ZTF, from Caltech, that helped researchers to identify a group of stars, actual dead, approximately 8,000 light years away. The fact that the stars were observed to be so close, amazed the researchers, stating that the only distance between them was 80,000 kilometers, and they were moving at hundreds of kilometers per second.
Finally, the astronomers declared that this discovery is an eclipsing binary because of its action of one passing in front of another. Also, a difference was spotted, the fact that one star was smaller, intrigued the astronomers.
Another astonishing fact is that one of the stars has incredibly high temperatures, and it’s believed to be the stable one, because it’s getting the whole power from the other one. What’s also good to know, it’s that astronomers succeeded to find out how important this phenomenon is. The dead matters, Earth-dimension stars, are very loaded and their actions of moving around each other, causing invisible waves, strong enough to travel through space.
Unfortunately, researchers can’t identify this phenomenon, only because our planet is too loud! Meaning also, too busy. What is the good news that will keep us safe and without worries? That the stars will keep doing that for another 100,000 years, so astronomers can effortlessly go on with their research!
Interesting fact: LISA the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will help us in 2034 to detect more waves from outerspace!
