Sentences with phrase «speeding out of our solar system»

When interstellar asteroid «Oumuamua was seen speeding out of our solar system last October, astronomers knew it was something special.

Probes now speed out of our solar system at unimaginable speeds, and terraforming is being tested on a large planetoid named Haven - 7 which now orbits close to Earth.

Not exact matches

«Oumuamua slingshotted around the sun on September 9 at a speed of 315,000 kilometers an hour (196,000 mph) and is now traveling out of the solar system.

Obviously you don't realize that an asteriod the size of just the Empire State Building that actually makes it to the surface of the earth at the average speed of most objects coming from the asteroid belt in our solar system would cause enough destruction and devastation on earth to wipe out most if not all of the planet.

Speed was vital as «Oumuamua was rapidly fading as it headed away from the Sun and past the Earth's orbit, on its way out of the Solar System.

It also is hoped the probe will help astrophysicists find out why there's no organized solar wind (made up mostly ions and electrons) found in the vicinity of the sun's surface, even though it whips through the solar system at speeds ranging from about 670,000 to 1.8 million miles (1.1 million to 2.9 million kilometers) per hour.

Traveling at nearly the speed of light, the charged particles produced by the nuclear reactions would fly out of the back end of the craft, propelling it beyond the solar system.

Research has already helped us learn a lot about «Oumuamua's rare cigar - like shape, what it's made of (ice with a carbon - rich surface) and its highly unusual orbit, which will take it out of our solar system at a speed of around 26 km / s.

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium significantly are changes in solar radiance coming in and changes in overall atmospheric density (a function of mass and pressure) which affect the radiant energy going out or a change in the speed of the water cycle which, because of the unique characteristics of the phase changes of water altering the speed of energy flow through the system is capable of exerting a powerful regulatory effect.
