What is this weird sphere in space astronomers found?
- Astronomers discovered a nearly perfect spherical bubble, named Teleios, in the Milky Way galaxy, suspected to be a supernova remnant.
- Teleios, found using the ASKAP, is visible faintly in radio waves and is dubbed as a mystery due to its extreme circularity.
- There is uncertainty regarding the distance of Teleios in the Milky Way, with estimates ranging from 7,175 light-years to 25,114 light-years.
- The bubble resembles Odd Radio Circles but is distinctively different in size and emission properties.
- It is believed that Teleios could be a Type Ia or Type Iax supernova remnant, but lacks expected X-ray emissions for confirmation.
- The perfect spherical shape of Teleios poses a challenge for astronomers as supernova remnants are typically asymmetrical.
- Further observations and analysis are required to determine the origin and nature of Teleios in space.
- The Odd Radio Circles, another mysterious cosmic phenomenon, present intriguing similarities with Teleios but on a much larger scale.
- The discovery of Teleios adds to the enigmatic phenomena observed in space, warranting continued research and investigation.
- Astronomers speculate various scenarios regarding Teleios's formation, emphasizing the need for additional sensitive observations for conclusive evidence.
