A team of international scientists has discovered in the Solar system x-rays of unknown origin.
More information on the scientific research can be studied on the website of the specialized editions.
Scientists have been studying x-rays and their origin using spacecraft NASA DXL. It was found that almost 40% of the emissions that were created by the solar wind. A significant portion of the rays emanating from the “local hot bubble” formed by the Sun. However, the remaining part of the x-ray radiation formed in an unknown manner, tell the experts.
Experts said that the milky Way absorbs all the rays coming from different sides of the Universe. Thus, radiation can be formed only in the Solar system. However, the temperature of the hot bubble is insufficient for such radiation. Camera DXL NASA sent into orbit on 13 December 2012. The device was attached to a sounding rocket, which passed through the helium stream and went into space in 15 minutes. DXL in orbit, NASA was to collect data on the origin of x-rays in the Solar system.
Note that a telescope such radiation can not be seen, so the researchers commend the results of their research.
