Kilnova Space Explosion in neutron star Could End Life On Earth say Scientists
What will happen due to the explosion in Neuron Star, which can destroy life on Earth millions of kilometers away? Scientists are saying that if a kilonova explosion occurs, it will release such radiation that can destroy life. According to Space.com, radiation emits deadly rays which can be gamma rays, X rays or other cosmic rays.
According to Hayley Perkinson, a scientist at the University of Linois-Urbana-Champagne and team leader of the study, the explosion occurred in a Neuron star 36 light-years away from Earth. If this explosion had occurred, life on Earth could have been destroyed. The team of researchers said that this powerful explosion occurring in neuron stars is such an explosion of molecules that can destroy the Earth's ozone layer. Due to which ultraviolet rays would continue to reach the earth for the next 1000 years.
Scientists say that out of all the harmful particles that have been tested so far, the greatest danger may be from cosmic rays. If such an explosion occurs in space, it will create a cloud of rays that will engulf everything in its path. It will be filled with immense energy which can destroy the planet. However, researchers have also said that there is no need to panic about the kilonova explosion because it is an event whose probability is negligible. This is considered a very rare astronomical phenomenon.
