NASA has revealed that debris from a star that exploded 4 centuries ago is still travelling through outer . It has furr stated that some of debris are heed towards Earth at great speeds. NASA has also revealed that despite having exploded years ago, remnants from that star have t slowed down.

NSA reveals Kepler remnants moving towards earth

NASA has identified that Kepler superva remnant is debris from a star that exploded and was located about 20,000 light years away from Earth in Milky Way Galaxy. In 1604, astromers including Johannes Kepler, after whom object was named, saw superva explosion that destroyed star. For centuries, scientists have been tracking remnants of Kepler Superva, but debris from explosion have t slowed down.

NASA used its Chandra X-Ray Observatory to record material blasting away from site of an exploded star at a speed of 20 million miles per hour. NASA has defined this speed is about 25,000 times faster than speed at which sound travels on Earth. NASA has revealed that 15 pieces of debris from Kepler superva are being observed by US ncy.

Among 15 pieces, NASA revealed, eight of m are definitely heed away from Earth. But, five out of remaining have definitive direction and 2 out of remaining are coming towards our planet. However, good news is that even though remnants are within Milky Way Galaxy and are heed towards Earth at great speeds, y are still thousands of light-years away.

Scientists have been unable to figure out as to why is debris moving at such high speeds. Several scientists believe that it is because Kepler superva remnant is an unusually bright Ia. This happens when a small dense star exceeds a critical mass limit after having interacted with a companion star. Due to rmonuclear explosion, small dense star shatters and launches it outward. Several or scientists believe that high speed is caused due to immediate environment around Kepler superva. Researchers believe that environment around Kepler superva is clumpy, allowing debris to tunnel through places where density is low.
