Kulo mzekeliso, i-TOI 1338 b yenziwe yahonjiswa ziinkwenkwezi zayo. I-TESS ifumanisa kuphela uhambo olusuka kwinkwenkwezi enkulu.IZiko leNight Goddard Space Flight / uChris Smith Umfundi oneminyaka eli-17 ubudala kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kutshanje ufumene okona kufumanekayo kwisifundo sakhe se-NASA. Wakwenza njani oko? Yena Uncede ukufumanisa iplanethi -YUyazi, iplanethi, enjenge-space-enelanga ezimbini.Ngoku, lo mfundi wasemsebenzini akazange ancede ekufumaneni iplanethi, kodwa unelinye lawona magama awaziwayo eluntwini: UWolf Cukier.
Masibuyele umva: UCukier, ophumelele kwiSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo iScarsdale eNew York, wayecinga ukuba uza kuthatha i-internship yehlobo e-NASA e-Goddard Space Flight Centre eGreenbelt, eMaryland. Kodwa, endaweni yokwabelwa ukwenza ikofu, uCukier wacelwa ukuba ajonge inkangeleko yokuqaqamba kweenkwenkwezi eyayibhalwe yinkqubo yasemajukujukwini Ukutshintsha iSatellite yeSavey Explanet (TESS). Injongo ye-TESS kukuzingela iiplanethi ngaphandle kwenkqubo yelanga yoMhlaba. Kwaye uCukier wanceda ukwenza kanye loo nto.
USmash usike iintsuku ezintathu kwi-internship yakhe: UCukier uqaphele umqondiso osuka Nina 1338 ,Inkqubo yeenkwenkwezi yokubini kukukhanya nje kwe-1,300 yeminyaka yokukhanya kwi Umzobi iqela leenkwenkwezi. Ke, uCukier wafumanisa iplanethi entsha.
Iplanethi efumanisiweyo yabizwa ngokuba yi-TOI 1338 b (I-TIO imele into yoVavanyo yoMdla). Kwaye iba ngcono. Iplanethi ijikeleza ilanga ezimbini-iplanethi yokuqala yokubini efunyenwe yi-TESS. Abalandeli be-Sci-fi baya kuqaphela ukuba kunje Itatooine njengoko kubonwe kuyo Star Wars Isiqendu IV .
Ngapha koko, iCukier ikwangumntu onzima Idabi leenkwenkwezi abalandeli, ke khawufane ucinge uvuyo lokunceda oku kufunyanwa kwifantasy.
Njengoko watshoyo I-CNBC : Ndafumanisa iplanethi [ene] iinkwenkwezi ezimbini ejikeleza kuyo, ke ukuba ucinga kwilizwe likaLuka, iTatooine, Idabi leenkwenkwezi , injalo. Ukutshona kwelanga lonke, kuya kubakho iinkwenkwezi ezimbini eziza kutshona.
Isazinzulu se-Goddard uVeselin Kostov uxelele Ixesha Iphephancwadi lokufumanisa: Iliso lomntu lilunge kakhulu ekufumaneni iipateni kwidatha, ngakumbi iipateni ezingezizo ezamaxesha ezinje ngezo sizibona sidlula kwezi nkqubo.
Ngoku, nazi izibalo:
- I-TOI 1338 b iphindwe kabini ngama-6.9 kunomhlaba-kwindawo ethile phakathi kobungakanani beSaturn / Neptune.
- Rhoqo kwiintsuku ezili-15 iinkwenkwezi zijikeleza ngokungqongelelene.
- Enye yeenkwenkwezi (fumana oku) yi-10% enkulu ngakumbi kunelanga lethu.
- Enye inkwenkwezi incinci kakhulu kwaye iyabanda.
- Yonke iphakheji ye-TOI 1338 b kunye neenkwenkwezi zayo ezimbini zibizwa ngokuba yi-binary ecliping.
- Intsapho kaCukier yayinqwenela ukuba iNASA ibizakuthiya iplanethi iWolftopia. (Nam ngokunjalo.)
Ukuzonwabisa okungakumbi kwe-sci-fi: Iqela le-NASA eGoddard lisebenzise isoftware ebizwa ngokuba ngu-Eleanor ukuqinisekisa ulwazi kwimifanekiso, ethiywe ngegama Eleanor Arroway Umlinganiswa ophambili kwinoveli kaCarl Sagan Nxibelelana .
Ke, unomdla wokufumanisa eyakho iplanethi? Nantsi indlela nawe onokuba ngumfundi we-NASA ngayo. Ngethamsanqa ngeplanethi yakho ukufumanisa!
Ukulungiswa: Inqaku ekuqaleni lalithetha okoI-TOI 1338 b yayiyinto yokuqala yokufumanisa iplanethi ye-NASA. Esi siqwenga sihlaziyiwe ukubonisa ukuba yayiyiplanethi yokuqala yokubini eyafunyanwa yi-TESS (iTransiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite yeNASA).
