Astronomers have discovered that a collection of asteroids known as Centaurs would originate from a solar system foreign to ours. At least 19 asteroids have orbited another distant alien star (dark star Nemesis) before joining our solar system and are drifting between Jupiter and Neptune.
According to the calculations of two scientists, the orbits and current characteristics of the asteroids can only be explained if these objects were not in our solar system when it was created, approximately 4.5 billion years ago.
The study describing alien asteroids and their origin was published in the monthly communications of the Royal Astronomical Society. The study was presented by Fathi Namouni, researcher at the Lagrange Laboratory (CNRS / Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur / Université Côte d’Azur) and Helena Morais, researcher at UNESP in Brazil.
According to the researchers, these asteroids belong to the Centaur asteroid family. These asteroids are cosmic bodies that resemble asteroids in terms of size, but comets in composition, orbiting the Sun in strange orbits between Jupiter and Neptune. The first Centaur asteroid – called Chiron – was found by astronomers in 1977. Hundreds of centaurs exist and an astronomer theorizes that many thousands of people roam the planets of our solar system, waiting to be discovered and cataloged.
To better understand the centaurs and their origin, Fathi Namouni and Helena Morais decided to develop a very accurate simulation of the orbits of these asteroids, which essentially allowed them to “go back in time” to discover the origins of the asteroids and their evolution in the solar system. The cosmic objects in our system already orbited around the Sun 4.5 billion years ago, on the same plane as the disk of dust and gas on which they formed.
However, the 19 centaurs were not part of this cosmic collection. The simulations not only show that these centaurs orbit the Sun on a plane perpendicular to the planetary movement of time, but also indicate that they were positioned far from the disc that gave rise to asteroids in the solar system, reports CNRS.
This led scientists to suggest that the 19 asteroids were not part of the solar system when it was born. The stellar proximity in the Sun’s birth group has given rise to strong gravitational interactions that have allowed the star systems to capture each other’s asteroids. Scientists now intend to continue this work in search of specific events when the common capture of several extrasolar bodies has occurred.
Centaurs, about 250 km in diameter, are believed to have originated after the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, in a vast disk-shaped deposit of comet nuclei called the Kuiper belt, one of the outermost regions of our system solar. Planet X or Nibiru is hidden in this area of the outer belt. It should be his presence to divert the Centaurs and direct them towards the internal part of the solar system.
