We have now learned,that stars not just gives life,but sometimes,take it away...
There stars are more killer stars then we could just imagine.
Today we will learn about more killer stars.
3) Gamma ray burst
Gamma ray burst are super concentrated burst of high energy lights.These burst are more powerful then a supernova explosion.These burst unlike supernova explosion,are focused only in a definite direction.Thus their energy is in the form of a beam and is focused in definite direction.
The interesting fact here is that in a gamma ray burst the star not explode.It stores is energy and the energy comes out in the form of beam .Its like you fill a balloon with water and make a hole in it,you will find that the water goes only in the direction where the hole is made.
Don't get confused the star is not damaged at all.
Fun fact- if a star release gamma ray burst from billion of light year away we will only be able to see that billions of year later.
The probability of being hit by this killer star is 1:undefined, cause the universe is too big.
4)White dwarf star
This killer star is new in race .This was discovered in 2015 by David Kipping with the help of Kepler telescope .A device to monitor alien planet when it comes near to its host star.
This killer star also consumes planet but does not grows big in size or something other like that.
Here is the work of its gravity.The gravity of the host star breaks the planets into rocks and the planet's orbit is lost and starts marching towards its killer. Thus ending itself.
A planet first breaks down .The broken parts marching towards host killer star |
The process is so fast that you would not stand a chance to run away.Its just the matter of few minutes or even less.
Can you imagine our sun become a white dwarf.??No worries it will be only occur a million or billion year later.At least not at that time,when you are reading this.
