Reportasee.com, – The young Jupiter was hit by a big newborn planet. The core of Jupiter may not have recovered yet from the collision that occurred about 4.5 billion years ago.
On Friday (16/08/2019), a colossal collision between young Jupiter and a planet still formed in the solar system, launched on Kompas.com on Friday, could explain the shocking explanation of NASA's Juno spacecraft.
Astronomers from Rice University and China Sun Yat-sen University explain that Juno's gravimetric readings, so confusing, have shown that Jupiter's core is less dense and wider than expected.
"This shows that
something that has happened has moved the core of Jupiter, and that's where the impact
the giants play a role, "said Andrea Isella, one of the astronomers of Rice University.
The crash of young Jupiter
China Sun faculty member
Yat-sen University, Shang-Fei Liu said the calculations included estimates
the probability of a collision is under a different scenario and the distribution
angle of impact.
In any case, Liu and
his colleagues discovered that there was a 40% chance that Jupiter
Young people will swallow planetary embryos during their first million years.
In addition, the planet produces
"Strong gravitational focus", mbad produced, resulting in a collision
it happens more often.
Said Isella, scenario
the collision became more interesting after Liu exploited a 3D computer model
shows how a collision will affect the core of Jupiter.
"Because it's solid, it comes
with a lot of energy. The impactor was like a bullet in the atmosphere and
on the core directly, "said Isella.
Research on the young Jupiter
Isella says, theories
leader of the planet's formation shows that the young Jupiter
begins as a dense, rocky or ice-filled planet that then collects the atmosphere
thick.
He also added that the calculation
at this impact 4.5 billion years ago.
Juno's mission was designed to
help scientists better understand the origin and the evolution of Jupiter.
The spacecraft launched in 2011 brought instruments to
map the gravitational and magnetic fields of Jupiter and study the internal structures
deep planet.
