I-Milky Way Galaxy-ikhaya leplanethi yoMhlaba-ikwikhosi yokungqubana nomnye umzimba we-interstellar, ojikelezayo weenkwenkwezi ezaziwa njengeLigge Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Xa aba babini behlangane ekugqibeleni ayizukudala nje umngxuma omnyama omkhulu, kodwa inokuphinda isijikeleze isixokelelwano sethu selanga ngamawaka eminyaka.

Oko kunokuvakala kukoyikisa, kodwa ungakhathazeki kakhulu, njengoko oku kungalindelwanga ukuba kwenzeke eminye iminyaka embalwa yezigidigidi.

Kwingxelo entsha epapashwe kwi Izaziso zenyanga zoMbutho weRoyal Astronomical Society , Abaphandi beDyunivesithi yaseDurham bathi umnyele wethu kunye nommelwane osondeleyo uya kudibana kwisigidi esinye ukuya kwizigidi ezine zeminyaka. Ngelixa umsitho unokuba nobungozi ebantwini abanokuba beseseMhlabeni, uyakubeka umboniso okhanyayo kuthi bantwana benkulungwane yama-21 besingakwazi nokuphupha.

Idibeneyo: Iingcebiso zokuHamba ezili-9 oosomajukujuku abathathe emajukujukwini baya eMhlabeni

Ukufumanisa kwandivuyisa kakhulu! Umbhali ophambili wesifundo uMarius Cautun, Ph.D., uxelele Eguqukayo . Ekuqaleni, bobabini endisebenzisana nabo kwaye samangaliswa kwaye, kuba khange siyilindele, kancinci ukuthandabuza. Oku kwenzeka amaxesha amaninzi ngokufumana izinto ezintsha.

Ke yintoni kanye kanye ezakuhla kwiminyaka embalwa yezigidigidi? Ngoku ka QZ.com , xa iMilky Way ifunxa i-LMC, umngxuma omnyama ohleli embindini womnyele wethu unokuphindaphindeka kangangezihlandlo ezisibhozo kubukhulu obuqhelekileyo. Oko kuyakwenza kube lula ukungenisa naziphi na iinkwenkwezi okanye umba osondeleyo kuwo. Oko, i-QZ.com icacisile, inokuguqula umngxunya omnyama ube yinto eyaziwa ngokuba yi-quasar, eya kuyenza ibe yenye yezona zinto zikhazimlayo kwindalo iphela.

Njengoko uCarlos Frenk, umbhali-mbhali wophando, wabhala, iyakuba ngumboniso omangalisayo wemisebenzi yezomlilo ye-cosmic njengoko umngxunya omnyama osandula ukuvuswa kumbindi womnyele wethu uphendula ngokukhupha iijets zemitha eqaqambe kakhulu.

Inkqubo yethu yelanga iya kukhuseleka, kodwa lisekho ithuba lokuba nathi sikhutshwe.

Ukudibana akuyi kuchaphazela ngqo iSolar System, nangona kunjalo, kuya kubangela uthotho lwesibini lweziganeko ezinokuba yingozi ebomini, wongeze watsho uCautun. Naluphi na utshintsho olunjalo luyingozi ebomini, kuba nokuba umahluko omncinci kumhlaba ophakathi komhlaba kunye nelanga unokuhambisa iplanethi yethu ngaphandle kwendawo yeGoldilocks kwaye uyenze ishushu kakhulu okanye ibande kakhulu ebomini.

Mhlawumbi uRichard Branson kunye no-Elon Musk kufuneka badibane ukuze benze ukuhamba kwe-interstellar kwenzeke ngokukhawuleza kunangoku. Uyazi, ukuze ukhuseleke.
