A space object that is capable to destroy the Earth

April 10, 2009 – 1:34 am


Australian astronomers has for some time, are studying intergalactic assassins, supposedly capable of destroying all life on Earth.

So far, space surveillance show that the cosmological gimmick under the code name WR104 could be a killer and humanity – a victim, writes The Daily Galaxy.

Space object is a combination of the two planets and blue stars, rotating around WR104, ready at any moment turn into supernovae. It is known that supernovae – stars that completing its evolution in the catastrophic explosion process. At this time, the process of becoming supernovae launches photosphere planet into outer space, where the blue star-companion begins to rotate around, and “highlights” the matter, creating an impressive spiral, which is twice the size of the entire solar system.

We can clearly observe the rotating part of the huge outer “wheel”, because the spiral is at the appropriate angle to the Earth. Around the same person well, who sent a barrel shotguns, can see the hole from which a bullet can fly. Only in our case, “the bullet” over 25 times more than the Sun.

When a binary system WR104 transformed into a black hole, which some astronomers have called a “merger” in the explosion may have allocated huge amount of gamma-rays of the high-energy electromagnetic radiation. While the explosion itself will last no more than 2 minutes, it can contain a much more energy than a whole mass of the Sun, calculated by the formula E = mc2.

On the one hand, we did not notice which side will come universal Armageddon. Electromagnetic rays travel at the speed of light, so that no warning of humanity does not receive. Perhaps if the future of Earth will evolve in such a sad scenario, humanity will share the fate of the dinosaurs, which, as some scholars have died as a result of space “restart” because of the explosion of gamma rays.

It is also possible that cosmic explosion, carrying the threat has already occurred, and we can only humbly wait for the gamma-rays “dobegut” to the Earth at the speed of light. On the other hand, the explosion may never happen in the next few hundred thousand years. And there, staring, our descendants something and out.
