Every few thousand years, a star approaches the central supermassive black star of the Milky Way and bursts into the central black hole of our Galaxy, as a result of which a long stream of gas comes out, from which objects of planetary size are subsequently formed and continue to move through the Galaxy. This conclusion was reached by scientists led by Eden Girma, a student at Harvard University in the United States, reports the publication "Astronomy News".
“One such star torn to pieces can give rise to hundreds of objects of planetary masses. We asked ourselves: what happens to these objects next? How close will they get to Earth? To answer these questions, we have developed a special computer program,”said Jirma.
According to dawns, the closest of these planetary mass objects could travel several hundred light years from Earth. Future observation instruments such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope can distinguish these unusual objects moving across the sky.
