Milky Way mein kuch toh gadbad hai!
Reports ke mutaabik, Milky Way galaxy ke centre mein kuch ajeeb activity hui hai. Scientists ko lag raha hai yeh dark matter ki wajah se ho sakta hai. Par yeh koi aam dark matter nahi hai!
Light-weight dark matter? Sach mein?
Is baar, scientists ek aise dark matter ke bare mein baat kar rahe hain jo proton se bhi light hai. King’s College London ke Shyam Balaji aur unki team ne Physical Review Letters mein ek study publish kiya hai. Unhone kaha hai ki yeh dark matter CMZ (Central Molecular Zone) mein zyada ionization ki wajah ho sakti hai. Socho, itni zyada ionization ki cosmic rays hi jimmedar nahi hain!
Dark matter ka naya chehra
Hum sab jante hain ki dark matter universe ke mass ka 85% hai, par hum use dekh nahi paate. Yeh isliye kyunki yeh light se interact nahi karta. Lekin Balaji aur unki team kehti hai ki agar yeh dark matter particles aapas mein collide karenge toh electrons aur positrons banenge. Aur yeh CMZ mein high ionization ki wajah ban sakte hain.
Aane wala time aur naye observations
Ab tak jo observations hue hain, woh is hypothesis ke khilaf nahi hai. Aur aage, 2027 mein launch hone wala COSI gamma-ray telescope aur zyada clues de sakta hai. Agar yeh saaf ho gaya ki yeh dark matter hi hai, toh hum dark matter ko sirf uske gravitational effect se nahi, balki uske chemical interaction se bhi samjh payenge. Yeh ek nayi discovery hogi, science ki duniya mein ek bada change!
Yeh sab samajhne mein maza aaya na?
Isse pata chalta hai ki science mein kitni interesting cheezein hain. Aur humari galaxy ke bare mein abhi bhi kai secrets hidden hain. Toh tayyar raho, aage aur kya pata chale!
