Do you have a strange fixation as to whether there is an undiscovered planet sitting at the edges of our solar system or if black holes can float around like a game of space pool? Is it possible that the Milky Way black hole ‘G” passions, what it refers to as its yellow blank-slating of rest—becomes explosive activity eons back? These may not be the questions that captured the imagination of our prorder ancestors enough to make them gaze at the night sky. But for scientists today, such questions become more pressing especially as they take them to the ends of the universe to solve. The main theories of their nature.
5 cosmic mysteries that baffle scientists
The elusive Planet Nine: Is it real?
Deep in the solar system, far from the orbit of Neptune, scientists suspect there is a massive, invisible planet called Planet Nine. This theoretical world, estimated to be 5 to 10 times the mass of Earth, may be affecting the orbits of distant icy objects. Although direct evidence has yet to be found, the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its decade-long time-lapse project may finally confirm or debunk the elusive planet’s existence.
Runaway Black Hole: Cosmic Escape Artist
Astronomers found a runaway black hole that is moving through space at 4500 times the speed of sound in April 2023. This black hole is thought to be twenty million times more massive than the sun and is emitting a comet tail of stars that stretches for over 200,000 light years long. It is hypothesized that it was actually ejected from the galaxy because of peculiar gravitational interactions involving several black holes. In such a case, this is the first case of confirmation of the presence of a black hole outside the galaxy tissue.
JUMBOs: Mysterious rogue planets
The James Webb space telescope inventory of planets turned out to be much bigger than expected. Or, that JUMBOs (Jupiter – mass binary objects) very freely floating in the Orion Nebula. Some of these planets are binary and are therefore a big headache to astronomers. The theories range from looking for a parent body in the interstellar space to mass perturbations from transient stars. The precise nature and conception of the JUMBOs is one of the unsolved mysteries of modern astronomy.
Fermi Bubbles: Galaxy Explosion Revealed
The Fermi C bubbles, or high energy lobes, are lobes of energy that have their origins in the galactic center which is 25,000 light years above and below the plane of the Milky Way galaxy. These structures are thought to be the products of the Big Bang, the central black hole active about 2.6 million years ago. And these bubbles are of greatimportance too because it shows that the activity of our black holes has been done differently in the recent past than believed.
Cosmic Question Mark: The Mystery of the Galaxy
A similar construction was also imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope deep in the universe except in the form of a question mark. This object both in terms of shape and distance is ancient and likely if not a single galaxy then maybe many merging should be in a very violent phase. The shape of a question mark and the color that makes it looks red tells of its old age which some edges it as one of the cosmic mysteries that strangles the connotation of the cosmos understandable.
