Two space objects collide, astronomers observe the ruins

KOMPAS.com – Outer space can be a cruel place. things outer space collide with each other, cause destruction or lead to formation extraterrestrial objects another larger one.

Scientists have recently succeeded in revealing evidence of a collision between two celestial bodies that may be the size of asteroid giant or mini planet.

Space object collision it leaves space dust the size of star a large one that can be observed by astronomers.

This event also allowed astronomers to gather evidence of the collision and learn about the objects involved.

As quoted from CNNWednesday (23/3/2022) a team of astronomers began routinely observing HD 166191, a star 10 million years old and 388 light-years away similar to the Sun.

Astronomically, this space object is a fairly young star. At that age, planetesimals (system Solar system) often form around stars.

These orbiting clumps of star-forming dust can become rocky bodies, collect matter, grow in size, and eventually turn into planets.

The gas needed for star formation then spreads over time between the planetesimals and puts the objects at greater risk of crashing into each other.

With the event two space objects collide After observing this, the research team also considered the possibility of witnessing a celestial collision event if they continued to observe HD 166191.
