Astronomers have raised the possibility of the existence of planets orbiting a central star at similar distances and being able to change position while maintaining a stable configuration for billions of years.
What is happening in the star systems just described above is so ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ that it has led astronomers to believe that the planetary motions could only be produced by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, according to New Scientist page on May 12.
Most of the planets in these “ѕtгапɡe” star systems have their own orbits, but their motion mechanisms are close enough to share the same orbit. That forces them to swap places to maintain distance from the central star.
While changing orbits, those worlds continuously approach and moⱱe аwау from each other.
According to computer simulations, a person standing on the surface of one planet could see another planet approaching and thereby change direction.
The solar system currently has only one similar orbital arrangement, in the region between two of Saturn’s moons, Janus and Epimetheus. However, it remains unclear whether that pattern can occur under planetary conditions.
To learn more, expert Sean Raymond of the University of Bordeaux (France) and his colleagues simulated different arrangements between planets the size of the eагtһ and sharing the same orbit. Through that, the group of experts wants to evaluate their stability.
While it is still possible to find star systems with 2 or 3 planets that may have formed naturally as above, the French team of experts suggests the existence of star systems with many more planets and with the same characteristics. point can only come from the hands of one or more аɩіeп forces.
Expert David Brown of the University of Warwick (UK), who was not involved in the research, said that the fact that computers can build simulations of these star systems is also a sign that they can completely exist in reality. international.
However, Mr. Brown also admitted that it will be very dіffісᴜɩt to find these star systems with current human technology.
