The universe is a very vast realm. It is so vast that the universe holds many unique and strange things, including those on Earth. This uniqueness can be seen in all kinds of flora or fauna on this planet.
The Strangest Object
More broadly, the uniqueness of the universe can be seen in the following 12 objects, as reported Live Science :
1. Mysterious Radio Signal
In 2007, researchers received an ultrasonic radio signal and ultrabright in a few milliseconds. These signals are known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) which appear to originate from billions of light years away. Regarding its origin, researchers have not been able to provide information regarding this mysterious signal.
2. Nuclear Paste
Nuclear is the strongest substance in the universe which is formed from the remains of dead stars. In a simulation, the protons and neutrons in this nuclear husk can experience great gravitational pressure and can make it look like paste linguini which is broken.
3. Ringed Haumea
Haumea is a planet that orbits in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. This planet has a strange elongated shape with two Moons around it. In one day, Haumea only lasts 4 hours. This condition makes it the fastest rotating planet in the Solar System. The oddity became even more apparent in 2017, researchers discovered Haumea had a thin ring orbiting around it that likely came from a collision in the past.
4. Moon by Moon
Another oddity is that there is a Moon orbiting the Moon, so it is nicknamed as moonmoon . Moonmoon there are various types, such as submoon , moonitos , grandmoon , moonettes , and moooons .
5. Galaxies Without Dark Matter
Dark matter is a substance that consists of 85 percent of all matter in the universe. Researchers believe that dark matter is everywhere. However, an oddity was discovered in a galaxy that contains almost no dark matter in March 2018.
6. The Strangest Star
A strange star named KIC 846285 or Tabby was discovered by astronomer Tabetha Boyajian from Louisiana State University and colleagues. This star is considered strange because its brightness can drop at irregular intervals over strange periods of time. Researchers believe that the star is surrounded by an abnormal ring of dust and is causing the darkening of the surrounding area.
7. Planet Hiperion
Saturn’s Hyperion is one of the strange objects. This object has a shape like a pumice stone which has many craters on its surface. In 2004 and 2017, when NASA’s Cassini spacecraft visited Saturn, they discovered that Hyperion also contained beams of static electricity particles that flowed into space.
8. Neutrino
Physicists at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica see neutrinos with high energy levels every day. This finding is special because it is the first neutrino for which astronomers have information about its origin. They found that the object was thrown towards Earth 4 billion years ago by a blazar or supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy that consumed the surrounding material.
9. Living Fossil Galaxy
DGSAT I is a galaxy ultradiffuse (UDG) which is the size of the Milky Way galaxy, but its stars are spread so thinly that they are almost invisible. However, in 2016, scientists looked back at DGSAT I and it looked different from other types of UDG. Its appearance makes it look like a living fossil since the Big Bang.
10. Double Quasar Image
When researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope, they saw quasars from the early universe that were used to reflect the expansion rate of this universe. The quasar is in the form of a large object with a curve of light that is capable of distorting the image of objects around it.
11. Star Infrared
Neutron stars are very dense objects and form after the death of ordinary stars. They emit radio waves or higher energy radiation such as X-rays. Astronomers discovered this object emitting streams of infrared light in September 2018.
12. Planet Aurora
The final strange object is the star SIMP J01365663 + 0933473, which is a planet-sized object with a distance of 200 light years and a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter. The magnetic field then produces aurora flashes in the atmosphere.
That’s 12 of the strangest and most unique objects in the universe. Which of the following objects do detikers find most interesting?
