Distant Planets: the most mysterious element in space
Have you ever read fascinating tales about flying UFOs or aliens in space? Now imagine that all those things you read about are real! Then, if they were real, where would they live? Distant planets!
In space, if you were to live on another planet, would you have enough oxygen, water or food to survive? Black holes, shooting stars, asteroids, and more actually impact planets. But what makes space really special are distant planets. One of the focus areas while exploring the space is to study whether life exists outside of Earth. Whenever we discover a new planet, the first thing scientists might study is if there is a sign of life on that planet. Then, if we do find one, it would then prove that we aren’t the only ones living in the galaxy.
Some people think that the sun is the best because it provides light and heat to power all the living things on the Earth. But, what else receives that light? Moving objects like shooting stars and asteroids. Those objects are also “powered” by the sun or other stars, we study them, but they aren’t alive.
If we can find a distant planet with water and temperature suitable for human beings, maybe we can consider traveling there. Then, we can have a whole new planet to live in and explore. Then, the civilization of human being would become multi-planet!
The farther the planets are, the more unusual they can be. A planet called ASKAD J1832 is located around 15,000 light years away from Earth, and it is acting very weirdly. It is pulsing every 44 minutes with both radio waves and X-rays, making it a very strange planet to discover.
When we dive deeper into space exploration and discoveries, we might be able to unlock many secrets that space may hold out for us. Those secrets attracted scientists and students to keep researching on space.
