A new type of planets

The system Earth — Moon in the distant past could for about 100 years to be Celestia.

American scientists have suggested the existence of sinesti — a new type of planetary objects. A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, briefly about it, reports the American geophysical Union.

Professionals using they created a computer program HERCULES (Highly Eccentric Rotating Concentric U (potential) Layers Equilibrium Structure), examined the evolution of the heated rotating spheroid of constant density.

Experts have found that a celestial body turns into sinesti when its angular speed at the equator is higher than orbital velocity. Seneste most often occurs when faced by two rapidly rotating celestial body.

Externally, the resulting object resembles a red blood cell or a doughnut. Name sinesti this, on the initiative of the authors, the connection of the Greek συν (together) and Eστια (Hestia — the goddess of architecture).

The duration of the existence of this type of planetary objects is higher, the more they matter. Over time, experts say, sinesti stand out from the actual planet and satellites.

Scientists believe that the system Earth — Moon in the distant past could for about 100 years to be Celestia. In addition to her modeling, the authors identified the known types of planetary objects (actually the planet and the planet with the disk).
