Mercury shows best kept secrets
Mercury place in
foreign hidden craters, volcanic nature has an powerful, large amount of sulfur
and convulses with energy blasts. These are the first findings of the data
obtained by NASA's Messenger probe.
After nearly three
months orbiting Mercury, this device has sent to Earth new data-with some
surprises, on the composition of the Solar System planet closest to the Sun. The
probe entered orbit around Mercury on March 18 and thus became the first
spacecraft to achieve.
Discovery of a diamond planet
A new planet, made of a
material alike to diamond ultradense, was discovered by a group of Australian
scientists. It could be the most valuable rock sighted but never too far from
the reach of explorer’s golddigger. At about 400,000 light years from Earth,
the planet is located about one-eighth of the distance that separates us from
the center of the Milky Way. Believed to be the only remnant of what was once a
giant star in our own Milky Way.
That star, is now a
pulsar, a type of neutron star characterized by very intense emit radiation,
which was discovered in 2009. Its diameter is only 20 kilometers. Australian
scientists found that the radiation was interrupted every two hours and 10
minutes, a sign that another celestial body orbiting around it. After
observation with large telescopes in the UK and Hawaii (USA), discover the new
planet.
Brightness
The planet appears to
be smaller than Jupiter but has more mass. The scientists, who published their
discovery in the journal Science, believe it is the densest planet ever
discovered and composed mainly of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists
believe that carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this exotic diamond
planet would.
His theory is that high
environmental pressure caused his core crystallized carbon into diamond. What
is not clear is how she should look closely watched. Ben Stappers of the
University of Manchester told Reuters that can only speculate: "I imagine
that there would be a picture of a very shiny object."
