Alien life may inhabit near white dwarfs
Source:
People for decades looking for signs of extraterrestrial life. During this time we had to learn to listen to distant stars, to find radio signals coming from black holes and magnetars, and even look at to the slightest changes in the brilliance of the stars, inventing every day more and more sophisticated technologies for their observations. However, despite all the efforts of mankind, the universe remains silent. Maybe we're just looking in the wrong places?
is There life on other planets?
Unlike its larger neighbors in the galaxy, at the end of its life our Sun will turn into a small, the size of the Earth, a star with an incredible density. White dwarfs, in essence, are remnants of the cores from dead stars that has long been able to shelter in their neighborhood a whole system of planets, writes the portal .
Before finally turning into super-heavy dwarf, our today is quite peaceful, the Sun enters the red giant stage — a giant space monster that devours all nearby planets. Eat mercury, and then , our star will come close to Earth, Ismailov all located on the planet life.
After a few million years after the death of the inhabitants of our planet, the amount of helium in the interior of the Sun will reach its critical point, ultimately removing the star literally inside out and at the same time creating a planetary nebula with a little white dot in the middle.
Nebula NGC 3132 white dwarf in the centre — a perfect example of how in the distant future we will look
Once the core of the Sun will gently start to cool down over trillions of years, some familiar to us the planet will continue to revolve around this small, but very dense remnant, luminous soft pearly light. Hardly any organisms can survive the death of its star. However, rational creatures, possessing intellect and a sufficient level of knowledge about the Universe, be able to do it. Shortly before the cosmic catastrophe, they could “move” the planet away, or figure out a way to drag their dying world to a safer distance. Then, when the star — a red giant might change the temper justice with mercy, the space settlers could return to the closer orbits to their new sun is already in the form of a cold white dwarf.
According to official data, about 15% of all stars in the Universe accounted for by white dwarfs, the nearest of which is only 8.6 light years from Earth and is part of the components of the immediate environment of the star Sirius in the constellation Canis major. Because of the great prevalence of cold stars in the Universe, advanced alien civilization who decided to move to safer places, would stop the choice on one of these objects. In this case, the detection of the presence of life in the vicinity of the white dwarf would become possible for humans when the ancient civilization decided to build around a white dwarf to participate in large-scale engineering projects.
Although the possibility of living with the dying residue of stars — a pretty grim prospect literally and figuratively, for mankind future this may become the only available option of survival in the cold, empty night that we call the Universe. Unless, of course, by the time we are not able to come up with better options.
