Astronomers from the Universities of Warwick and Sheffield (England) have discovered an incredible star system that looks like a billiard game.
The Daily Mail reported that the strange star system was named NN Serpentis, 1,670 light years from Earth.According to experts, NN Serpentis is in fact a binary star system, consisting of two stars (a red dwarf and a white dwarf) moving around each other in a tight orbit, surprisingly close.

The Earth lies in the same plane as the binary star system, so every astronomer can see a red dwarf star every three hours and seven minutes. They used these frequent celestial attempts to detect a small but noticeable abnormality in the orbit of stars, while also helping to prove that anomalous form is definitely due to presence and Gravity of two giant gas planets.
Professor Tom Marsh of the Department of Physics, Warwick University said: " Two giant planets have different masses, but they can own the same size .
If they follow the patterns commonly found in our star system, which consists of giant gas planets with the main colors of yellow or green, then the image of this star system is very similar to the giant ball arrangement system. of a billiard game with a red ball, two-color balls and a small white ball ".
Professor Vik Dhillon of the University of Sheffield added: " If these planets were born with their parent stars, they would have survived a dramatic event a million years ago: when The main star was initially bulging, turning into a giant red star, why the compulsive companion fell into an extremely tight orbit, close to the present . The orbits of the planet may have gone through the big disorder.
In addition, these planets may have been recently formed from waste material. Either way, in relatively close astronomical times, this system will experience a great shock of the orbits of stars and planets, all starting with the central white dwarf. of the current system ".
