Somewhere across the universe, a magnetic field shrieked.
But when these stars aligned, there were no angels crooning or futures falling into place.
There was a disruption.
Things like understandingexoplanet habitability, sun-like star behavior and maybe even aid thesearch for extraterrestrial life.
Having information about binary star dynamics in advance of the ambitious trip could greatly help with the quest.
Initially, looking at L483 wasn’t anything special.
It even had a magnetic field that seemed rather normal.
“At first, it matched what theory predicts,” Cox said.
“But theory can say one thing, and observations can say another.”
Sure enough, zooming into L483 told a wildly different tale.
Something strange was going on.
Time to dig deeper.
Hiding right behind one of L483’s newborn stars…there was another baby orb.
“We think that’s what is happening here.”
