Brightest ever Gamma Ray emission seen in space
Researchers have seen the emission of the most powerful and luminous energy ever in space. It is one trillion times more energetic than visible light. Actually, it is an electromagnetic phenomenon, known as gamma-ray burst (GRB).
This study has been published in the journal Nature. Earlier studies suggested that high energy is released into the universe only when a star breaks or two dead stars meet.
The GRB 190114C explosion was detected on January 14 by researchers at George Washington University in the US. This was followed by a collective effort to observe radiation from the source using more than 20 observatories and equipment worldwide. A team of international scientists gathered information about the explosion.
Researchers found that the explosion occurred especially in the dense atmosphere of the galaxy five billion light years away.
Star is traveling at a speed of 40 million mph
A few days ago, a unique phenomenon had appeared in the universe full of mysteries. Astronomers had found a star that is moving out of our galaxy very fast, fearing a black hole. This star called S5-HVS1 is moving out of the center of our galaxy at a speed of 40 million mph. This star is about 29 thousand light years away from the Earth at this time.
Ten times brighter
According to astronomer Ting Li, this star is two times bigger than our Sun and ten times brighter. This star is moving towards deep space at unbelievable speed.
Astronomers are monitoring the star with the help of Gaia Spacecraft of the European Space Agency. The say that this star is escaping from a blackhole called Sagittarius-A, its mass is 4 million times more than the Sun. With the help of this spacecraft, a road map of 1.3 billion stars has been prepared so far.
