Now that the P5 has been ventilated, it is time to start releasing information.

On May 15, a piece of news made the front page of international news.

With data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Webb Space Telescope, astronomers at Ax Bogdan and his team discovered a new dwarf planet near 100 AU from Earth.

The study has been published in the journal Nature Astronomy. 「DOI：2308.16744」

This news has been deliberately fueled by the widespread attention of people around the world, after all, the discovery of a new dwarf planet is not unusual, but this dwarf planet is not a native planet of the solar system, but from outside the solar system, which is surprising and curious.

However, people with a heart remembered that a NASA technical engineer publicly released the news on the Titok and X platforms a few months ago, saying that NASA had discovered a dwarf planet that had broken into the solar system, and this dwarf planet would collide with the sun in the future, thus bringing the end of the world.

At the time, the news did not cause a stir, and several members of Congress later pressured the president to make the information public, and in the end, several members of Congress inexplicably shut up.

There is too much news in the world every day, and after the congressman shuts up, soon this heat disappears into people's minds without leaving a single impression.

Only after the news appeared this time that smart people tried to dig up the previous news and look for the memories in their impressions, only to be surprised to find that all the statements of the previous NASA technical engineer had disappeared, and even the relevant accounts had been cancelled. Even the news that members of Congress are pressuring the president can't be found in a Google search, or someone later found the relevant news from a web snapshot saving website.

May 25 is destined to be a time that the world will remember.

NASA held a press conference to release the latest details of the dwarf planet, claiming that according to the detection data, they estimated that the dwarf planet would travel at a speed of 120 kilometers per second, and the probability of hitting the sun reached more than half.

As soon as this press conference came out, the whole world exploded.

If everyone was still watching the strange and lively before, although some people expressed concern, some people soon gave them popular science, saying that the probability of a dwarf planet trying to hit the earth was too low and too low, and it should be just passing by.

Who would have thought that it would not hit the earth, but it would actually hit the sun?

Many reporters kept asking at the press conference, will the dwarf planet hit the sun, will it affect the earth?

At that time, the spokesperson of NASA was vague, only saying that it was still being studied and discussed, and the specific follow-up impact still needs to be further studied.

Rao was so, and after that, the global stock market was shaken.

U.S. stocks have once again staged a historic circuit breaker!

NASA does not have publicly available data, but private universities and many experts have begun to appear on television, deducing a key number, that is, 120 kilometers per second, and then deducing how much mass the dwarf planet will have on the Earth.

Since this strange planet is defined as a dwarf planet by NASA, then according to the astronomical tradition of dwarf planets, even the smallest dwarf planet Ceres, it has a diameter of 950 kilometers, and its mass can still make human civilization face the catastrophe caused by high-energy radiation caused by falling into the sun.

This is very similar to a solar flare, a solar flare is a local large-scale energy release process on the surface of the sun, causing local instantaneous heating, emitting various electromagnetic radiation, from the past human experience, the outbreak of the large flare, will pose a threat to spacecraft such as space flight, communications, broadcast signals, navigation and satellites, but fortunately, the sun is very stable, and the most terrifying large flare will not have too strong an impact on human civilization.

And before that, in 2005, NASA observed the explosion of a super flare of a star in the constellation Pegasus, the intensity of which exceeded 100 million times that of a typical solar flare in the solar system.

And the scary thing is that the energy release of the "super flare" produced by the fall of a small dwarf planet like Ceres into the sun is also millions of times the energy of the largest flare observed by humans!

What does this mean?

The Earth's magnetic field cannot be stopped, and the Earth's atmosphere will also be evaporated.

Everyone will die under high-energy radiation, without exception.

……

It's as if yesterday people were still rejoicing that because of Yu Ze, the peace of the whole world suddenly came in an unexpected way, who would have thought that in just one month, it would be a roller coaster from the top of the mountain to the valley, or with a kind of courage that is not afraid of broken bones.

Fudan University.

"Xiao Nan, what are you still sitting here for? Classes are coming soon......"

The roommate saw Xiao Nan sitting motionless in front of the computer, and hurriedly shouted.

"What kind of lesson, the world is going to be destroyed."

Xiao Nan was weak and had no motivation all over his body.

"Oh, that's all nonsense from abroad, don't take it seriously."

The roommate shook his head: "If you don't go to class, then I'll go, Chen Aiai, let's go." ”

"Okay."

Chen Aiai came out of the bathroom, didn't say much, and forcibly pulled Xiao Nan out: "Even if the world is really destroyed, don't be afraid, you have to be tall and tall, the most important thing for you and me is to study hard." ”

"Yes, yes, study hard, even if the world is the end of the world in the next second, our good student Chen Aiai must hurry up and go to class."

Xiao Nan complained vigorously, as if he could vent the uneasiness in his heart in this way.

The group walked to the classroom, the classroom was already full of students for this class, but the teacher had not yet arrived, everyone was talking, and the voice was not low, many were discussing the big news that shocked the world in the past few days.

"You see, there was a bank run in the United States and Europe, and a lot of people bought a lot of supplies, and they all bought out the stores......"

"Isn't it the same at home? Many aunts and uncles are buying rice and oil, my mother called me yesterday and asked me to stop going to class and go back quickly, she bought a snakeskin bag of iodized salt, and I couldn't complain. ”

"Tut, look at this Canadian uncle, he said that he had expected this day, he had been preparing for 2012 since 07, digging a large doomsday disaster shelter basement under his house, and when 2012 came, he ran out of money...... As a result, 2012 did not come. This time he said that the end of the world would definitely come. ”
