Over The Years Scientists Have Observed Some Unusual Anomalies In Outer Space From Massive Alien Superstructures To Unsettling Faces On Mars Here Are The Top 15 Most Mysterious Space Discoveries
Oumuamua
Number 13 Our Solar System Is Full Of Rocks And Particles That Orbit Around The Sun In The Same Way That The Planets Do And It's Not Uncommon For Some Of Them To Take On A Different Trajectory To Everything Else Which Is Why The Planets Are Often Struck By Falling Pieces Of Debris Most Of The Comets And Meteors Originate In Our Solar System However Whether It Be From The Asteroid Belt Between Mars And Jupiter Or From The Kipper Belt Beyond The Orbit Of Neptune In October Of 2017 Though Something Very Unusual Was Discovered Known As Omouemoa The Piece Of Rock Which Was Between 330 And 3 280 Feet Long Is Thought To Have Originated Somewhere Else Outside Of Our Solar System It Was The First Object We've Ever Studied That's Traveled From So Far Away And It Was The Sheer Speed At Which It Was Traveling That Suggested That It Couldn't Have Started Life Within The Grasp Of Our Sun As It Traveled Closer To Earth Images Showed It To Be Cigar Shaped And It Had A Red Color In A Similar Way To The Objects From The Outer Reaches Of The Solar System Quite Where It Came From How Many Others They May Be Like It And How Long It Has Been Traveling Before It Reached Us Isn't Known But What Scientists Learned From A Mummer Will Almost Certainly Inform How They Study The Next Object Like It That Passes By
Dyson Sphere In 1960
A
Theoretical Physicist Called Freeman Dyson Released A Paper That Detailed What
He Believed Civilizations Would Have To Do To Satisfy Their Rapidly Increasing
Energy Demands On Our Own Planet For Example Our Energy Consumption Increases
Dramatically Each Year And If This Trend Were To Continue It'll Eventually
Become Impossible To Provide As Much As Needed Dyson Believed That The Obvious
Conclusion Was The Need To Build A Giant Sphere Around A Star Which Would Be
Able To Absorb All Of The Energy It Emits In Theory If You Were To Build It As
Far Out As The Earth Orbits Then We Would Be Able To Live On The Inside Surface
And Be Able To Collect All The Energy We Could Possibly Need Of Course This Is
A Monumental Feat Of Engineering To Accomplish And It Was Really Only A Thought
Experiment Rather Than Something He Truly Thought Was Possible In Recent Years
With Improving Technology That Allows Us To Look Further Into Outer Space The
Race Has Been On To Discover Planets Around Stars Other Than Our Own To Do This
Scientists Measure The Fluctuations In Light That Reaches Us From A Star And
Can Infer The Presence Of A Planet From How It Changes But They Made An
Incredible Discovery Tabby's Star Which Is Around 1470 Light Years From Earth
Sometimes Dims By As Much As 22 Which Raises The Question Of What Could Be
Blocking It One Of The Leading Theories Is That There's A Partially Built Dyson
Sphere Around It With The Civilization Responsible For Constructing And Already
Benefiting From The Huge Amounts Of Energy Could The Star's Strange Behavior Be
Truly The Result Of An Alien Mega Structure Or Something We're Yet To Discover That
Causes The Same Effect Only Further Studies Will Reveal The Truth For Sure
The Boots Void
Even
Though The Universe Is So Vast And Spread Out The Density Of Stars And Galaxies
Remains Relatively Constant And Predictable Across All Of Existence There Are
However Some Regions That Are Completely Unexpected With Very Little Matter
Whatsoever And The Largest Of These Is Known As The Boots Void At Around 330
Million Light Years Across It Represents Around 0.27 Percent Of The Observable
Universe And Is An Incredibly Large Region Of Space Often Referred To As A
Super Void It's Around 700 Million Light Years Away From Us And Is Remarkably
Empty Current Estimates Suggest It Only Has Around 60 Galaxies In It Whereas A
Similarly Sized Region In Most Other Parts Of The Universe Would Be Expected To
Have Around 2 000 Galaxies To Put This Into Perspective If Our Galaxy The Milky
Way Was In The Center It Would Only Have Been In The Past Few Decades That
We've Had Any Idea That Other Galaxies Actually Existed As For The Reason
Behind This Massive Void No One Has Any Idea At All It's Possible That It Grew
So Large After The Merging Of Several Smaller Voids That Acted Like Bubbles And
Pushed Matter Out Of The Way But We Simply Don't Have Enough Of An Understanding
Of The Universe To Fully Explain This Process
The Great Attractor
All
The Universe Is Full Of Countless Different Strange Objects That Interact With
Their Surroundings In Different Ways When You Average Out The Behavior Of
Everything In It The Layout Is Fairly Predictable With Most Matter Moving In An
Expansive Direction There's One Region Though That We Simply Don't Understand
But It Could Be The Key To Unlocking A Much Deeper Knowledge Of The Universe
And The Processes That Take Place Within It Known As The Great Attractor It's A
Huge Gravitational Anomaly That's Around 200 Million Light Years Away From The
Milky Way Galaxy Rather Than Affecting The Orbit Of The Planets Or Stars The
Great Attractor Exerts Its Influence On Much Larger Objects And Is Believed To
Be The Central Point Of The Lanayakea Galaxy Super Cluster Which Contains The
Milky Way Along With Up To Ten Thousand Other Similarly Sized Galaxies The
Great At tractor Is Itself Moving Towards The Nearby Shapely Super Cluster One
Of The Biggest Mysteries In Space At The Moment Is What Could The Great At tractor Possibly Contain That Is Able To Affect The Movement Of Huge Galaxies
With Super Massive Black Holes At The Center Of Them Unfortunately Finding An
Answer To This Isn't As Simple As Pointing A Telescope Towards It Because It's
Currently On The Exact Opposite Side Of The Milky Way Than We Are And It's
Virtually Impossible To Look Directly Through The Center Of Our Own Galaxy
Perhaps One Day Another Attractor Will Be Discovered That's Easier To Observe
Or It'll Simply Be A Matter Of Time Until Our Orbit And Galaxy Gives Us A
Better Vantage Point But Figuring Out What The Anomaly Truly Is Will
Undoubtedly Change Our Understanding Of The Universe Forever
Hogue’s Object
After Studying Countless Galaxies In The Universe Researchers Have Been Able To Put Together General Rules For Their Formation And What They Should Look Like During Various Stages Of Their Life Cycles While This Understanding Accounts For The Vast Majority Of Objects That Are Seen In The Sky There Are Some Notable Outliers With One Of The Strangest Being Hag’s Object It's A Galaxy That's Around 600 Million Light Years Away From Us But Unusually It's A Ring Galaxy These Formations Are Rare Enough But Hague's Object Doesn't Seem To Have Formed In The Same Way As The Others That Have Been Discovered Because It Has A Noticeable Gap Between The Yellow Core And The Newer Formed Blue Stars Could This Be Evidence That There's A Whole Different Type Of Galaxy Formation That Hasn't Been Accounted For In Our Understanding Of The Universe Is Its Distance Away From Us Making It Difficult To See Its True Nature Or Is This Galaxy Simply A Random Occur
