Trapped ‘interstellar invaders’ may be circling Earth – scientists

In Earth’s orbit, trapped in gravity, there may be debris from alien star systems that have fallen into the solar system due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter. It is possible that objects created by aliens can also get into our system in the same way.

This is stated in a study published on the preprint site arXiv. The study was co-authored by Avi Loeb, a professor of physics at Harvard University, who has previously made bold assumptions about probes, thanks to which aliens study the Earth.

The authors of the study suggest that objects from other star systems can enter our solar system by flying past Jupiter. During such a flyby, they fall into the gravitational trap of a gas giant and can then get stuck in orbit around the Sun for millions of years or become near-Earth objects.

However, these objects are too small to be detected with modern telescopes.

Researchers call these space “aliens” interstellar invaders. It is assumed that these may be icy rocks ejected from their native star systems.

Loeb and his colleagues also do not exclude the idea that among such objects there may be those created by an alien mind.

One such interplanetary invader, as Loeb previously suggested, was a cigar-shaped object called ‘Oumuamua, which unexpectedly ended up in our solar system in 2017.

‘Oumuamua was so unlike asteroids or comets from the solar system previously known to scientists that they allowed for the possibility that it was not a natural object. Subsequently, it was possible to establish that Oumuamua was in our Milky Way galaxy for millions of years before bursting into the solar system.

Subsequently, another guest object was detected in our system. It was a ball of ice and dust the size of the Eiffel Tower, dubbed Comet Borisov.

Neither ‘Oumuamua nor Borisov’s comet has fallen under the influence of the Sun’s gravity, so over time they may leave the limits of our system. In particular, ‘Oumuamua is already beyond the orbit of Neptune, heading for the exit.

In the new study, the scientists also simulated the likelihood that such alien invaders could fall into Earth’s gravitational trap. It turned out that such a scenario is quite possible, although the capabilities of the Earth are difficult to compare with Jupiter, which gathers almost all interstellar guests around it.

As LiveScience writes, Loeb clarified that while the team does not theoretically propose the existence of interstellar Earth-orbiting objects, astronomers should continue to test for such a possibility.

Scientists are convinced that the study of such objects will allow humanity to understand how distant star systems are formed, and if extraterrestrial technology gets into the gravitational trap, the discovery will be more significant.

“Interstellar objects originate from outside the solar system and could potentially be technological in origin, like the five interstellar probes launched by humanity … If (objects. – Ed.) Are of artificial origin … they can tell us about extraterrestrial technological civilizations “, Loeb emphasized.

Earlier, GLOBAL HAPPENINGS also talked about the fact that, according to Stanford professor Harry Nolan, aliens have been visiting Earth for a long time and are even on it now.
