One planet loses its atmosphere as two planets collide in outer space
A team of astronomers has identified a planet similar to Earth that may have lost some of its atmosphere two hundred thousand years ago due to a collision.
Only 95 light-years away from Earth, MIT, National University of Ireland Galway, and Cambridge University astronomers discovered evidence of the huge collision in a nearby star system. The HD 172555 star is around 23 million years old, and astronomers believe its dust indicates a recent collision.
Massive impacts, according to a research published in the journal Nature, are responsible for planets like the early Earth reaching their final mass and achieving long-term stable orbital arrangements.
An important prediction is that debris will be generated by these hits. The researchers discovered a carbon monoxide gas ring co-orbiting with dusty debris around HD172555 between six and nine astronomical units — a zone akin to the outer terrestrial planet area of our Solar System.
Astronomers are attracted by the star HD 172555 due to the odd composition of its dust, which apparently contains a considerable amount of exotic materials in grains much smaller than astronomers would expect.
Tajana Schneiderman, a doctoral student in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at MIT, searched through data from Chile’s Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in search of carbon monoxide traces encircling close stars.
The ALMA observatory is a network of 66 radio telescopes whose distance apart may be altered to increase or decrease image resolution.
“When attempting to examine gas in debris discs, carbon monoxide is often the brightest and hence the simplest to locate. Therefore, we reexamined the carbon monoxide data for HD 172555 since it was an intriguing system,” stated Schneiderman. The researchers identified carbon monoxide, which accounted for 20% of the carbon monoxide measured in Venus’ atmosphere, after a thorough analysis of the data.
Surprisingly close to the star, at around 10 astronomical units, or 10 times the distance between Earth and the sun, massive volumes of gas were swirling. The presence of such a vast amount of gas encircling the star necessitated an explanation, and scientists considered several possibilities.
Astronomers investigated theories in which the gas was formed by the debris of a newly born star and by a nearby belt of ice asteroids, but rejected both. The most plausible hypothesis explored by the scientists is that the gas was a byproduct of a major collision.
It is the only scenario that can explain all the characteristics of the data. In systems of this age, we anticipate gigantic repercussions, and we anticipate that these impacts will be relatively common. The timelines, age, and morphological and compositional limitations are all consistent. In this system, the only probable process that may create carbon monoxide is a massive impact, Schneiderman said in a statement.
The team hypothesizes that the gas was discharged by a catastrophic collision at least 200,000 years ago, which is recent enough for the star not to have completely destroyed the gas. According to the amount of gas, the impact was likely massive, involving two protoplanets around the size of Earth.
According to astronomers, the impact was so violent that a piece of one planet’s atmosphere was blown away, resulting in the gas observed today.
Did you know NASA has finally revealed the truth about the fake moon landings?
Mainstream media barely reported on the astonishing revelations, so most people remain none the wiser about what NASA has admitted in the last 12 months.
The truth of the matter is NASA has all but admitted the landings were fake, and anybody who works in the space industry or has any knowledge about rocket science has quietly accepted that the whole thing was a charade. So why the hell is nobody talking about this?
We literally didn’t go to the moon in 1969 and, to this day, no human being — American, Russian, Chinese or ancient Egyptian — has been past lower earth orbit which is about 1000 miles above sea level.
That’s right, no human being has ever been higher than 1000 miles above sea level… Except for those times we “went to the moon” which is 240,000 miles away. And guess what, we did that in 1969! When a computer with the computing power of a TI-89 graphing calculator was the size of a house. We didn’t even have the technology for VCRs yet. We didn’t even have microwaves.
Fast forward to today, over 50 years later, when an iPhone 12 has more computing power than every single computer on Earth in 1969 COMBINED.
And yet…. NASA claims that we can’t go back to the moon because we have “lost the technology” to go to the moon. Apparently it was “destroyed” but they won’t tell us how or why.
Hmm… Seems legit.
But it gets even worse.
Tired of people asking to analyze the original moon landing tapes, NASA had to admit they had LOST them. Then the story changed and they claimed they had TAPED OVER THE ORIGINAL MOON LANDING TAPES because of budget cuts.
Apparently they have since found the original tapes in a suburban garden shed in Las Vegas. Conveniently for NASA, they weren’t found in a Hollywood basement used by Stanley Kubrick.
Because let’s face it, how likely is it that NASA would actually tape over the original footage of mankind’s greatest achievement? Because of budget cuts, really?
And the fact that the TV broadcast, watched by hundreds of millions, was not sent directly to TV stations but was rather a projection of the broadcast off a wall which was then recorded and sent out, doesn’t sound like NASA are covering their tracks or anything.
Let’s face facts. Everything that was done 50 years ago is a thousand times cheaper and easier to do today. Are we actually expected to believe that we went to the moon in this piece of shit 50 years ago? I’ve seen homeless encampments on Skid Row that have more insulation. I’ve seen Met Gala costumes that look sturdier than that.
It’s all so implausible. Who shot the event from outside the capsule? How is the American flag waving? Why do the shadows look like they are the result of multiple light sources? Why is the letter C visible on one of the rocks? (which happens to look like a prop on a film set)?
And don’t forget about the time NASA astronaut Alan Shepard supposedly sneaked a golf club and some balls onto Apollo 14 and played golf on the moon. Hold on, how do you sneak a golf club onto a space craft when every cubic inch and ounce is accounted for?
He sneaked it up his ass, obviously.
Really, let’s think about this rationally. In 1969 we sent a tiny homeless tent covered in aluminum foil 250,000 miles away to a precise location, when even being 1/10000 of an inch off in any part of the launch would have caused the ship to miss the moon by thousands of miles…. And yet, we landed it, we played golf… And now we can’t even get humans past 1000 miles above sea level.
Perhaps the final word should go to Buzz Aldrin. According to Buzz, we didn’t go to the moon at all! But he didn’t stop there. Listen to what he says about the hundreds of millions of people around the world who were affected by the moon landing. It’s call mass formation psychosis. The elite have been using this technique to brainwash the masses since 1969.

A video of a strange black object that appears to be a cube was filmed this week on Tuesday at an unspecified location in Texas, USA.
According to the unnamed author of the video, he and his wife looked up at the sky as a military plane that looked like an F-111 bomber flew west to east right over their house.
They regarded this incident as very unusual, since military aircraft had previously very rarely appeared in their area.
But they were even more confused when, literally “seconds later” after the bomber’s passage, a dark object appeared in the sky.
At first it seemed to them spherical, but then they considered that it was more like a cube. It is also possible that the object has changed its shape.
In the video, a man can be heard saying, “It’s so weird. A military plane flies by, and then THIS appears, whatever it is,” to which his wife replies, “I have no idea what it is.”
It is indicated that the man sent the video he shot to the UFO site MUFON. The eyewitness also admitted that the strange object could be something mundane, such as a baby balloon, but he thinks that this “air anomaly” emits some kind of glow, which is clearly not related to the properties of balloons.
In his opinion, this “glow” may be associated with the propulsion system of the aircraft.
