"The Lyra Project was officially launched, target: Omomo",
The news quickly attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, after all, Omomo was the first traveler from outside the solar system to discover modern astronomy.
Since its discovery in 2017, people have been curious about it because it not only presents very mysterious properties, but also has a "reddish tinge" and is known as "the reddest celestial body in the solar system".
Moreover, its performance in the solar system is also very bizarre, in addition to causing the "Olbers effect", which has triggered some speculation by astronomers, it is also showing signs of acceleration.
Scientists are full of curiosity about this, and have expressed their desire to contribute to Omomo's "tracking" operation.
So, what is the "Lyra" plan to track Omomo?
What kind of "tracking" ability does it have?
How long is it expected to catch up with Omomo?
1. The unusualness of Omomo.
On October 19, 2017, at the Pan Star Observatory in Hawaii, a camera on a reflecting telescope captured some bizarre images, which scientists immediately analyzed, only to surprise everyone.
The "point of light" in these images turned out to be a "non-spherical" object closest to the solar system, which is "unprecedented" in the solar system.
Naturally, the discovery also confirmed scientists' previous suspicion that "the shape of celestial bodies is not necessarily round".
However, Omomo is not an ordinary "non-spherical" celestial body, because it is a traveler from outside the solar system, and it is also the first "guest" from outside the solar system.
The shape of Omomo is very bizarre, scientists have compared some "strange" celestial objects in the solar system in recent years, however, Omomo is completely different from them, because it is not cylindrical, prismatic, pancake shaped, etc., but looks like a "cigar".
The shape of Omomo is "orange-red", the longest side is 400 meters long, the shortest side is 40 meters, and there are no traces of separation or fragmentation on the appearance, which makes scientists believe that the structure of Omomo is very hard.
However, the "cigar-shaped" of Ao Momo makes it easier for scientists to think of an "artificial flying machine" - "flying saucer".
Because, in space, whether it is a naturally formed celestial body or a man-made aircraft, most of them are presented as "three-dimensional" structures, and "flying saucers" with non-spherical structures are relatively rare.
In addition, there is another strange thing about Omomo, that is, its "density" is larger than that of the innate bodies in the solar system, which makes scientists wonder about its "structure".
According to scientific speculation, Omomo may have formed "in other galaxies" and then drifted "between stars" for billions of years, finally breaking into the solar system in 2017.
During this long period of time, Omomo continued to collide and friction, and also constantly "evaporated" a part of the substance, which caused its "density" to continue to decrease, and finally only the current appearance remained, that is, the "hollow" structure.
However, there is also a problem with this speculation, that is, why did Omomo suddenly "accelerate" in the "solar system"?
This is also the biggest "unusual" thing about Omomo, because before it entered the "solar system", its speed was very "stable" and there was no "change".
However, after entering the solar system, Ao Momo's "speed" changed "suddenly", not only "accelerated", but also "suddenly" deflected 90 degrees.
Second, the acceleration of the detector.
This makes astronomers very "curious", because in the solar system, there is only one phenomenon that can make "alien objects" have this "90-degree deflection", and that is the "Olbers effect".
The Omoth effect is caused by the "rotation" of celestial bodies such as "comets" in the solar system, which will change the speed of these celestial bodies, thus causing them to "deflect", but Omomo is not a comet, nor is it a "star", which makes scientists more curious.
The phenomenon of "acceleration" and "deflection" of Omomo reminds scientists of an "unknown physical phenomenon", which may be "the action of external forces" or "unknown physical principles".
In order to unravel the secrets of Omomo, astronomers started the "Lyra" project, the main task of this project is to "track Omomo" and "observe" and "study" its "dynamics" and "characteristics".
In order to achieve this goal, scientists have also "flexibly" used some "effects" in the solar system, the most important of which is the "Olbers effect".
The Olbers effect is caused by the "rotation" of the "sun" in the solar system, which causes some "celestial bodies" in the solar system to "deflection" and "accelerate", and these celestial bodies can be used as objects of "gravitational acceleration".
The Lyra project will be completed by 2060, when the probe will "catch up" with Omomo, and then "temporarily" stay in the universe to wait for an "expedition" in the solar system before returning to Earth.
The Probe of the Lyra Project will depart in 6 years, and then after 32 years of flight, it will be able to "catch up" with Omomo.
III. Conclusion
Scientists' research on Omomo has also made people "associate" and "guess" about the "alien spacecraft" in space.
Because Omomo is a "flying machine" "from outside the solar system", and it also shows the characteristics of "acceleration" and "deflection", which makes people think of "alien spacecraft".
Until now, scientists have not been able to determine the specific "source" of Omomo, whether it formed in "other galaxies" or around "other stars"?
This also makes people "pay attention" and "study" to the fact that there are still many unknown objects in the "universe".
The launch of the Lyra Project also shows the "determination" and "strength" of scientists in the study of "unknown objects".
The advancement of the Lyra project has also made people full of "expectations" for future "space exploration", and also let people see the ability of scientists to flexibly use "known knowledge" and "technology".
Omomo also has one of the biggest "mysteries", that is, the sudden "acceleration" and "deflection" in the solar system, which may be an unknown "physical phenomenon" or "the action of external forces".
This "unknown" "nature" makes scientists full of "curiosity", and also makes people more aware that there are still many unsolved mysteries in the "universe" waiting to be explored and solved.
The Lyra Project takes a long time, which also makes people more aware that "scientific research" requires "perseverance" and "long-term investment", and this "spirit of exploration" for the unknown is very important to promote the "development of science" and human understanding of "the universe".
epilogue
The Lyra project will be completed by 2060, when the probe will "catch up" with Omomo, and then "temporarily" stay in the universe to wait for an "expedition" in the solar system before returning to Earth.
The advancement of this project has also given people a deeper understanding of "giant planets" such as "Jupiter", and at the same time, it has also made people see the importance of "interactions" between various celestial bodies in the "solar system".
