When the universe was born, it was like the underworld, where electrons and protons ran randomly in the pitch darkness.
Our Universe never ceases to amaze, and the cosmic discoveries of recent years, for which scientists have not yet found an explanation, confirm this. We invite you to familiarize yourself with these mysterious discoveries.
Mysterious galaxies
When the universe was born, it was like the underworld, where electrons and protons ran randomly in the pitch darkness. It took the universe hundreds of millions of years to cool down and give birth to stars and galaxies. New space discoveries have recently been made by Japanese astronomers. With a telescope in the Hawaiian Islands, they discovered seven new galaxies. Scientists have established that they appeared when our universe was 700-800 million years old. These galaxies have almost no metals (except for a small amount of lithium), and hydrogen is very active. Scientists believe that these galaxies appeared suddenly, but they cannot name the reason for their appearance. New galaxies are actively forming new stars.
Deficiency of ultraviolet radiation

Until recently, it was believed that everything is balanced in outer space. The same was true for ultraviolet radiation, which is in proportion to hydrogen. But cosmic discoveries have shown that ultraviolet radiation is four times less than it should be, based on the above. Why this is happening, where is the unaccounted for ultraviolet, astronomers have not yet explained.
Distant Monster HD 106906b
The exoplanet, ten times the scale of Jupiter, has become a mystery to scientists, because they find it difficult to explain how it formed. First, it is too far from its star. For comparison: Neptune, located on the outskirts of the solar system, is 20 times closer to the Sun than the mysterious monster is to its parent star. At such a huge distance, the forces responsible for the formation of planets simply do not work, especially such huge ones. Secondly, scientists are interested in the ring of this planet. According to the laws of physics, a gas-dust disk cannot form around a planet of such a large mass. In general, there are many riddles, but there are no answers yet.
Mysterious magnetic fields on the moon
New cosmic discoveries were made by astronomers in relation to the satellite of our planet - the Moon. It turns out that several billion years ago, the Earth's satellite also had its own magnetic poles. Their power was weaker than the Earth's magnetic field, but the fact that such a small space object acquired its own magnetic field is surprising. The moon lost its magnetic poles about four billion years ago. The study of this issue is still ongoing, and there are still no answers to the questions that have arisen.
Asteroid with six tails
Recent space discoveries have brought another mystery - a comet-like asteroid. This asteroid showed signs characteristic only of comets - the presence of a brightly glowing tail. But the asteroid contains almost no ice, which gives this effect. It is mainly composed of stones and other heavy elements. The appearance of an asteroid with several bright tails was a real sensation. There is an assumption that in the process of movement it self-destructs, and the radiation particles of the Sun, falling on its falling off parts, create the effect of radiance. Science has not yet given a more precise answer.
Asteroid with rings
New cosmic discoveries show that rings can be possessed not only by gas giants, but also by very small objects. Scientists recently discovered an asteroid that even has two disks, one of which contains a lot of ice. Scientists suggest that these rings were formed as a result of the impact of an asteroid on a certain space object. But these are only assumptions.
Strange X-rays
Cosmic discoveries in the Andromeda galaxy have surprised scientists in the form of X-rays coming from pulsars discovered there. Scientists suggest that this is the activity of black matter, they are going to further study this phenomenon.
Mysterious island on Titan
Space discoveries on Titan have proved the version that everything on this moon of Saturn is in dynamics, everything is in motion. So, recently, an island of land appeared on the surface of one of the seas of Titan, and after a while it disappeared. A little later, he appeared again, but already significantly increased in size. Why this island appears and disappears, astronomers cannot yet understand.
Three-star system KIC 2856960
New space discoveries have provided scientists with the opportunity to observe an interesting group of stars. It consists of three stars, one of which is static, and the other two revolve around it. Scientists were interested in this movement, and they suggested that there is another invisible star hidden behind a third. But so far this is just an assumption.
A storm on Uranus
Space discoveries on Uranus have puzzled scientists. On this always calm planet, storms occurred only during the period of solar activity, since Uranus does not have its own internal source of warm energy. But the period of solar activity has passed, and the storms did not subside. They raged in the methane layer of the atmosphere with such force that they could be seen through an amateur telescope. The reason for this phenomenon has not yet been explained by scientists.
There are still a lot of mysteries in the vastness of our Universe, and for sure we will have a lot of space discoveries that will bring great benefit to science.
