JAKARTA – Space is full of mysteries and oddities. Years of exploration have uncovered many things that remain unsolved.
Among the objects in space, some of them have strange shapes and mechanisms. Like mysterious radio signals to nuclear pasta.
The following is a list of the strangest objects in space, from mysterious radio signals to infrared light, quoted from Live Science, Monday (17/9/2023).
1. Mysterious Radio Signal
Since 2007, researchers have received ultrastrong and ultrabright radio signals that last only a few milliseconds. These mysterious flashes, called fast radio bursts (FRBs), come from billions of light years away. Recently, scientists managed to capture a repeating FRB flashing six times in a row, the second such signal ever seen and which could help solve this mystery.
2. Nuclear Paste
Nuclear paste is the material at the heart of a neutron star’s crust. This material has a very dense structure shaped like a type of pasta, such as lasagna and spaghetti.
Nuclear paste is ordained as the strongest substance in the universe. The results of the scientists’ simulations showed that to destroy a plate of nuclear pasta, it would take about 10 billion times the force required to destroy steel.
3. Haumea Ring
The dwarf planet Haumea, in the Kuiper Belt orbit beyond Neptune, has a strange elongated shape. Two months and one day last only 4 hours, making it the fastest rotating large object in the solar system. But in 2017, Haumea became even stranger when astronomers observed it passing in front of a star and saw a very thin ring orbiting around it, most likely the result of a past collision.
4. Moon Moon
What’s better than the moon? The moon that orbits the moon, aka lunar month. Also known as submoons, moonitos, grandmoons, moonettes, and mooons. Moonmoons are still theoretical, but the latest calculations show that there is nothing impossible in their formation.
Astronomers Juna Kollmeier from the Carnegie Washington Institute and Sean Raymond from the University of Bordeaux, say the Moon can have Moons or sub-moons.
