Scientists equipped with the James WebSpace Telescope (JWST) unprecedented strength have discovered the unconscious signs of dwarfing planet Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac, which is wandering around The external access of the system solar. This is the only second time that a gas is detected on an object away from the ground, and indicates that this week’s world is more active than what we thought.
Mac Mac is almost a CH spherical item with a measure of 890 miles (1,430 km), which is less than half diameter Moon. It is located near 45 times Sun On average, in a region known as Cooper Belt – a ring of teens, dimensional and large icy items, such as PlotoBeyond the orbit of Neptune. It was discovered in 2005 and has a small moon, named MK 2, about 110 miles (175 km).
Scientists have long been known that Mac’s red brown brown surface is covered with layers of methane and ethan ice, and some even think that these chemicals can measure half an inch (1 cm) in diameter, according to it, can rest on its cold surface. Nasa.
But in a new research, September 8 was uploaded to the Print Server Archeo And the astronomical journal letters were accepted for the future publication, researchers used JWST to look closely at Mac Mac, and found that the planet’s dwarf also had a faint gas concentration of methane gas around its icy surface.
“Web Telescope has now revealed that methane is also in the gas phase above the surface, it is a search that makes Mac Mac even more interesting.” Slovia ProtopapaA researcher at the University of Maryland and the Southwest Research Institute in Texas, said in a Description. “It shows that the Mac External System is not the rest of the solar system, but is a dynamic body where methane ice is still being manufactured.”
So far, only another tran naptinin item (an item out of the neptune) is known to prepare your gas, he is Pluto, which is in A very thin environment Mainly containing nitrogen, which contains small amounts of methane and carbon monoxide, directly sister of science Space.com reported. Dwarf planet Cyrus, which is located in the middle of the Kishorgara belt Mars And JinnThere is also an intelligent environment made of water vapors.
The JWST saw Matheen thanks to a trend called “Solar Percent Fluorosis”, which causes gas to shine unconscious because it removes solar radiation. Using the latest telescope equipment, the team also measured the gas temperature, which is a refrigerated minus 387 degree Fahrenheit (minus 233 degrees Celsius).
However, researchers are not yet sure where the methane comes from, or it is permanently trapped inside the Mac.
One of the potential explanations is that the dwarf is present in the planet surface of methane ice, or solid gas transfer, and is present in a delicate, spinning environment like Pluto and Cairus. But if this is the case, new data shows that the pressure in this gas layer should be 1 billion times higher than the ground environment and 1 million times more than Pluto, which makes it difficult to confirm whether it exists.
Another possible explanation is that gas is being extracted from the bottom of the icy level of the item in the plums, such as Saturn’s frozen marine moon Anseldis. Protopapa said the potential process, known as Outgasing, could occur at various locations on the planet, in which the methane fired on the “a few hundred kilograms per second”. But it is also very difficult to tell if the data available is a matter.
Researchers hope that JWST follow -up observations can help resolve the puzzle. But regardless of where the methane comes from, the new results “challenge Mac’s traditional theory as a quiet, frozen body,” the researchers wrote in the article.
Earlier in the year, another group of researchers using the JWST also revealed that Mac, and another far -fetched planet, could be geographically dynamic, potentially. At the point where they can support life. (Currently there are no planned missions for studying one of the far -flung planets.)
