Object 2020 VN40, moving to rhythm with Neptune, changing scientists’ ideas about the orbits of remote cosmic bodies.
At the very end of the solar system, scientists recorded a space object, which seemed to “dance” with Neptune in a rare rhythm of orbital.
It was the first open thing in history to make a revolution around the sun for every ten revolution of the eighth planet.
The Planetary Science Journal reports an unusual opening, which refers to a study conducted by an international team of scientists. The stone body, called 2020 VN40, moves to a heavy tilted orbit, and its average distance from the sun – about 140 astronomical units (this is 140 times more than the soil).
The unique movement of this matter is that it approaches the sun at the same time with Neptune, though it is lower than the plane of the solar system – unlike other transneptun bodies that usually remain within this plane.
“This new movement looks like a search for the hidden rhythm in the song, which we thought we knew. It could change our idea of how far -flung things moved,” commented CO -Author of Ruth Murray -Kkya study.
According to those who set up, the 2020 VN40 was temporarily “captured” by Neptune’s gravity, which refers to such a conclusive “dance”. Its discovery indicates that bodies with inclined orbits can still have unknown types of movements that remain studying.
“This is a big step to understand the external part of the solar system. It shows that even the remote regions under the influence of Neptune can hide things. It gives us new clues of how the solar system has changed,” said the rosemary pike leader of the rosemary pike.
Earlier it was reported that a large -scale explosion occurred during the day, causing the release of hot plasma to space.
Uranus became hotter than before
