Another tense news from space, a rare star may collide with our galaxy, 20 times hotter than the Sun
It has become common for asteroids to enter our solar system and pass close to Earth. Every one or two months news related to this comes, but now scientists have warned about a star, which is rapidly moving towards our galaxy. Its speed is also very high. Scientists have a full eye on this star and they are also doing research related to it.
What is the speed?
According to scientists, a star named Zeta Ophiuchi is moving rapidly towards our galaxy. Its speed is 30-40 kilometers per second. It is feared that in the future it will collide with our galaxy, which can cause a lot of damage. Scientists are researching in detail about this.
Does not remain stable
Although the Sun is the hottest star in our solar system, Zeta is 20 times hotter than that. Because of this, the concern of scientists has increased. Although this star is still 440 light years away from our Earth, which is found in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. According to experts, Zeta Ophiuchi is one of the rarest stars in our constellation. Its first feature is that it is the third brightest star in the constellation, while the second feature is that it does not remain fixed in one place. For this reason, there is a possibility of it crashing into our galaxy.
Born from a supernova explosion
Research has shown that the lifetime of these stars is much shorter than other stars. So far, helium and hydrogen have been detected in its core. Now scientists are trying to find out how much impact it will have on Earth and humans if it crashes. So far only it has been known that this supernova was born from the explosion. Supernova explosions occur when a star gets old.
Hot up to 10 lakh degrees
Infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope showed that a giant shockwave swiped things off Zeta Ophiuchi and sent it into surrounding clouds of gas. A picture of this was also taken by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Which showed that the shockwave heated the gas around the star to one million degrees.

Is the end of the earth near?
According to NASA, in view of its importance, scientists are trying to understand the atmosphere of this strange star and the things around it. Also a team of astronomers is currently testing 3D computer models of the shockwave that ripped Zeta Ophiuchi from its fellow stars. As soon as this report comes, people are now asking whether the end of the earth is coming near?
