NASA discovered methanol, ice and organic molecules on a planet

in Popular STEM3 years ago

NASA has made what may be the most significant discovery in history. Methanol, salt, and some organic molecules have been discovered in the houses discovered so far at Ultima Thule, the farthest point from Earth. In this regard, NASA has also published a profile of Ultima Thule. According to NASA data, this has been verified based on geological and compositional evidence. Simultaneously, scientists have noticed some bright sections on the surface of the house under investigation. At the same time, there are mountain grounds and huge craters on it.

During the investigation, scientists discovered that the largest crater on Ultima Thule is 8 kilometres deep. Scientists give it the name Maryland Crater after that. According to legend, this crater was created when a large meteorite collided with the Earth. It's also possible that such a crater could be created due to snow.

According to scientists, the red colour on the Thule's surface indicates the organic material was once present but has since vanished. Scientists are now trying to figure out the history of this building, according to Ellen Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado. He mentioned that following the discovery of Thule, there would be opportunities to learn new things about the construction of solar systems.

Ultima Thule is made up of two kinds of spherical shapes, according to NASA. Ultima is a slightly larger version of one of these figures. This form appears to be a little smooth. At the same time, the tiny spherical figure has been given the name Thule. According to NASA, both of these shapes indicate that it was constructed several billion years ago. However, NASA is still unsure how these shapes were made. According to NASA, these two figures were circling each other and were connected in some way.


New Horizons Spectrum, a NASA spacecraft, is continuously travelling through space, aiding in the discovery of new things. It will continue to send data to NASA until 2020, and it is about 6.6 billion kilometres away from the Earth. It is constantly going inside the Kuiper belt so that Ultima can collect more information related to Thule.
