The Cepheus Spur is a world filled with extremely hot blue monster stars, 3-6 times the size of the Sun and about to explode.
According to El Paris, the team from the Spanish Center for Astronomical Biology (CAB) used the Gaia telescope of ESA (the European Space Agency), to map the “sub-solar region”, including the constellation Orion (Orion or the hunter) – where the solar system is located, the constellation Persians at the edge of the Milky Way (the galaxy containing the Earth) and the constellation Sagittarius (Sagittarius) near the center.
Dr Michelangelo Pantaleoni Gozález and Jesús Maíz Apellánz said the process helped find a mysterious structure, called the Cepheus Spur, located in the middle of Orion’s hunter’s arm (near the solar system) and the constellation Persors.
This region of the Cepheus spur contains the most “dynamic” star in the universe, previously mistaken for an empty region. They are at least 3 times the size of the Sun, most of which are about 6 times the Sun. These stars are so hot that they emit blue light (in space, the temperatures of stars give it the shades of green – yellow – orange – red, of which blue is the hottest, red is the coldest. ). They are also the shortest stars due to the intense nuclear reactions in the heart, causing them to quickly explode into supernovas.
Speaking on Live Science, the authors say these stellar explosions scattered heavy elements across the galaxy. This sort of “monster” star is extremely rare and very valuable, considered to be the chemical enrichment of the galaxy. It is thanks to the ancient dead “green monsters” that our solar system has all the heavy elements necessary to create chemically rich planets, capable of creating antidotes, biochemistry, giving birth to life like Earth.
