There is a possibility. That astronomer found the first planet that orbits 3 stars.

 



Image: I: The anomaly in dust disk around GW Orionis


The star is GW Orionis. Distance to that star is 1300 light-years. The planet itself is not visible. The system that has made that detection is ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array). And the researchers worked for Nevada State University. The following months will confirm or not confirm that observation. 

The planet itself is not visible. But that object causes an anomaly in the dust that orbits the central stars. And the planet can be seen because of that anomaly. The straight observations of exoplanets are hard to get. 

But non-straight observations like changes in the brightness of the stars or the gravitational interaction between planet and dust are also visible. The gravitational interaction between the planet and the dust requires that the dust disk is visible.  

The change of the brightness of the stars is a good method to track the exoplanets. But that requires that the planet travels between Earth and that star. The last method can use also with distant objects.

And that is the thing that might confirm the scenario that the planetary systems are more common than astronomers expect. In the universe are confirmed exoplanets that are orbiting multi-stellar systems. The most well-known of those planets is Proxima Centauri B. That planet orbits the red dwarf at the closest stellar system Alpha Centauri. In those cases, the exoplanet is orbiting the distant member of the multi-stellar entirety. 

Those distant members of the triple- or multi-stellar systems are offering the possibility for their solar system. In those cases, the multi-stellar system is "open". The distant member of the entirety has its planetary system as Proxima Centauri has. But in another case, there is the possibility that the triple-star system is "closed". In that case those central stars are are very close to each other. And the planets can orbit them as the entirety. 

When we are thinking about the possibility that planets are forming around the triple-star system there is lots of dust and other particles around those stars. That means that there could be forming planets around them. But the other version of the form of the planetary system is that the stars or multi-stars are capturing the rogue planets. 

The common gravitational effect of the multi-stellar systems is huge. And that means that kind of solar system can pull objects from great distances. The thing is that this finding was a great step for science. Stars are bright things. They are covering planets in their shine. The thing is that the existence of planets doesn't mean that there are lifeforms in the solar system.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
