Scientists studying a neutron star collision from 2017 have discovered something intriguing that has left many scratching their heads.
It’s not often that humans are lucky enough to spot two neutron stars colliding, with the first ever collision observed only a few years ago in 2017. Now scientists have taken a closer look at that neutron star collision and discovered that it created a near-perfect spherical explosion, which has left many of them shocked and scratching their heads.Darach Watson shared in a statement
. Watson says that the near-perfect sphere that the neutron star collision created in its explosive aftermath makes no sense. However, the calculations that the researchers have run shows that it indeed is almost completely symmetrical. That explosion that was observed in 2017, which is known as GW170817, is by far the most detailed look that we’ve gotten at an exploding neutron star collision. As such, there is a lot of data for scientists to sift through as they try to understand more about these stellar explosions. And, based on the discoveries recently recorded in the new study, there’s a lot we don’t know about these mergers..
The results, they say, show that a magnetic bomb of sorts may have been created when the energy from the neutron star collision was released, which occurs when the star collapses into a black hole. It’s also possible that the release of that energy led to the spherical distribution of the matter from the explosion.
