The fragments formed by Jupiter's detachment of strata are numerous in number and vary greatly in size. The fragments detached in the early stage are fast, while the fragments detached in the later stage are relatively slow.
Io did not rush towards Jupiter in a crashing manner, but the altitude of its orbit was lowered for unknown reasons. The debris peeled off from the surface of the satellite still accompanied Io, advancing along the original orbit, but slowly with Io
Extend the distance and gradually get closer to the huge Jupiter.
Tens of thousands of fragments are close to the rings of Jupiter. Some are directly torn apart by Jupiter's gravity and become part of the rings. Others are unscathed and cut directly into the rings of Jupiter. As the rings of Jupiter revolve together, they gradually approach Jupiter.
There are no less than hundreds of large fragments, and the minimum length and width of these fragments are tens of kilometers. As the fragments pass through the rings of Jupiter, their weak gravity uses their own weak gravity to attract the ring dust along the way to the fragments.
Hundreds of narrow slits of varying widths were plowed out, turning the perfect rings of Jupiter into a vortex shape.
However, astronomers collectively ignored the impact event and focused on Europa, which returned to its original orbit!
No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility for Io to escape from Jupiter's gravity, but it just does it. And after calculations, based on Io's current direction and speed, it will not take long to return to its original orbit, that is, it will not
Stay away from anything, and don't get close to anything. It's like everything that happened before is not real.
However, a large number of debris are still flying towards Jupiter, and the mottled surface of Jupiter is still vivid in my mind. These can't be fake, right?
Astronomers on Earth were dumbfounded, and then went into an uproar. How could this satellite not act according to common sense? What was the reason why it suddenly approached Jupiter and returned to its orbit?
Someone soon proposed the "density porosity theory", which believed that the surface material of Io was loose in texture. When the surface was peeled off, Io had actually entered the Roche limit, so the moon's surface was peeled off under the influence of Jupiter's gravity.
Due to the huge loss of mass, the broken-armed Europa zero was able to regain its distance and avoid falling into Jupiter.
This theory may sound reasonable, but anyone with a little knowledge of the universe will know that the orbit of Io cannot rise for no reason and will only orbit Jupiter at the edge of the Roche limit.
Moreover, the large fragments attract ring dust in Jupiter's rings, which can also explain the mass of the fragments from one side. After careful calculations, it is concluded that the fungus zero is not only not loose, but also very tight.
So, what is the reason for Jupiter to return to its original orbit?
There is a common saying in detective novels: After eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining answer is, it is the truth.
What happened to Europa is simply impossible in the natural state. After eliminating the influence of all external factors, the only answer is that the orbit change power comes from Europa itself!
The appearance of Io was very sudden, and many astronomers realized that Io itself may have a super powerful force that can propel Io to move in the universe!
Europa is probably a planet-level starship. It entered the solar system and came close to Jupiter intentionally!
This kind of plot is very common in science fiction novels, but when reproduced in reality, it is not dramatic at all. Instead, it weighs on everyone's hearts like a mountain, making people feel so heavy that they can't breathe.
For humans, any civilization that can build planet-level starships is an unrivaled giant, and humans are at best ants at the feet of giants.
There are many astronomers who have thought of this, but only a few dare to make their guesses public. Only a small number of people tell irrelevant people about their guesses. The vast majority of astronomers choose to inform their governments.
Some governments around the world take it seriously, some ignore it, and still others are dubious.
However, the U.S. Jupiter detector has long since expired. No detector has been able to get close to Jupiter in a short period of time. All images obtained by humans are obtained through telescopes on the ground and in the universe. Even space telescopes high above cannot take pictures.
High-definition photos of Europa's surface.
Without a picture, there is no truth. If you cannot clearly see the situation of Io, you will not be able to obtain first-hand information about Io, and you will not be able to judge whether Io has a power system.
The detection methods in the astronomical community are far more than optical. However, the first impact only lasted ten minutes, and other methods require more time to analyze the data and take some time to produce results.
Fourteen minutes after the impact, a staff member of the Beidu National Observatory discovered that something was wrong with the data recorded on the spectrum analyzer. Through careful and careful spectral analysis, it was discovered that the debris that hit Jupiter contained a very high proportion of organic matter and proteins.
, the ratio is even higher than the surface of the earth!
To be cautious, the observatory conducted detailed comparisons. By this time, the impacts had occurred three times in a row, and similar findings were found in the spectra of the three impacts.
In order to avoid misjudgment, the National Astronomical Observatory obtained spectral records from more than ten observatories at home and abroad through various channels. Analysis showed that the spectral lines of organic matter and proteins can be found in all known spectra.
Although the specific substances represented by these spectral lines are still being analyzed, it can be determined through spectral analysis that Europa is definitely not as simple as it seems, and the possibility of it being related to extraterrestrial civilization is extremely high!
The news was immediately reported to Zhongnanhai, and the first brother who received the news could hardly believe his eyes.
Brother 1's understanding of astronomy was very limited, but this did not affect his correct judgment. After only thinking for a few seconds, Brother 1 picked up the phone and dialed the hotline of the President of the United States.
The call was connected, and Brother No. 1 got straight to the point, asking the President of the United States to immediately notify NASA to analyze the spectrum recorded during the Jupiter impact, and conduct further consultations after the results are available.
The President of the United States was puzzled for a while, but he knew very well that as the head of a major country, he would never make random jokes on diplomatic issues, so he immediately contacted NASA and asked for the results of the spectral analysis.
Before the person arranged by the President of the United States contacted NASA, a report from NASA was sent to the President of the United States. The report analyzed the research results of the Jupiter impact event in detail from several aspects, and finally concluded that Europa is likely to be an alien planet.
Human base conclusion.
The President of the United States' eyes nearly popped out, and he immediately contacted Brother No. 1 to report the situation. When he learned that China had made a similar judgment, the two heads of state fell silent at the same time.
Although there is not much evidence, the seriousness of science cannot be doubted, and both of them feel like there is a huge boulder weighing on them.
