Space has not finished revealing all its secrets to us. The a land It is just a small part in the immensity of the universe. The average citizen does not necessarily realize the complexity of the solar system. On the other hand, scientists observe the various phenomena that govern the universe. Many stellar bodies travel through space. We can cite comets, asteroids, meteorites … There is also space debris from the frantic race for the conquest of space that began in the 1950s.
These various objects and space debris pose a real danger to Earth, because at any moment they can be victims of a collision that could have serious consequences. Perhaps the most prominent example of this is the extinction of the dinosaurs. Millions of years ago, a meteorite fall wiped out all kinds of dinosaurs from the face of the globe.
Many scientists today believe that we are not immune to another such event. In 2014, a UFO from outer space crashes into the waters The Pacific Ocean. The object is baptized CNEOS-2014-01-08. With a width of 45 cm, the body quickly swept into the Pacific Ocean 216,000 km / h.
According to the research of two American researchers published in the journal The Astrophysical Journal, CNEOS-2014-01-08 arrived at Earth following a hyperbolic trajectory which indicates that it is of interstellar origin, that is, it comes from outside the solar system. A large-scale expedition is planned in 2023 to search for this meteorite and its secrets in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
