Space is full of mysteries. Astronomical events have been attracting scientists from all over the world for years. Every movement of space arouses the curiosity of scientists and scientists try to understand the layers of those mysteries.
Scientists have seen such a unique and shocking sight in the solar system, which has increased the heartbeat of those interested in the world of space. Scientists are considering it incredible and surprising.
Mystery of Saturn-like planet
Actually, astronomers have seen a ring of debris around a small planet the size of Pluto. This debris is seen forming a ring above that planet in the same way as a ring is seen above the planet Saturn. The name of this minor planet is- Quaoar.
Space researchers believe this is a rare discovery. It is beyond their imagination. After all, how and under what circumstances such rings can be made. Bruno Morgado of the Union University of Rio de Janeiro has confirmed that he has also seen a unique ring-like shape above the Quaoar.
Actually this discovery was done by an international team of astronomers who University of Sheffield An extremely sensitive high-speed camera developed by the scientists of HIPERCAM was used. This camera has been considered very useful for research. Although scientists have said that the image of that ring is very blurred in appearance.
Where did the debris on the planet come from?
In fact, Quaoar was observed in the year 2002 and it is currently estimated as the smallest planet. Although Quaoar has not yet received a formal status from the International Astronomical Union. The International Astronomical Union is a body of scientists that sets the standard for space research and puts a formal stamp on research or gives it a name. But it is being discussed that why is it looking like Saturn?
Scientists believe that the diameter of the planet Quaoar is about 700 miles. It is about one-third the size of the Moon and half that of Pluto. By the way, there is also a small moon in the world called Vivot, he is called the son of Quaoar in mythology. Whose diameter is 105 miles. Quaoar is full of different types of icy bodies.
Astronomer and researcher Isabella Pagano says – The shape of the rings can be formed due to debris. By the way, more close research should be done in this direction. At present there is no solid evidence of its construction.
there may also be ice particles
In fact, Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that has a ring around it. By the way, there are rings around other big planets like Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, but they are not visible.
Scientist Pagano says- We have considered some possible reasons. This debris ring that may have originated from a possible disruptive impact on the moon Quaoar. There is very little chance of it continuing for long. However, there is a need to keep an eye on its result. There is also a possibility that there is also accumulation of icy particles. That situation should also be examined on this principle.
