Metaphors can be used as the natural GPS of the universe

Dead stars may be the future of space travel missions, replacing the Earth's navigation systems with the universal navigation system.

Dead stars may be the future of space travel missions, replacing the Earth's navigation systems with the universal navigation system.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has tasked scientists at the National Physics Laboratory and the University of Leicester (UK) to study the possibility of using dead stars (ie hidden stars) for Future travel explores deeper into the universe.

The direction of travel is based on the radio signal transmitted from a spacecraft to the system of ground stations, and if the distance takes many hours, days or even more. This will affect the spacecraft's ability to react quickly in case it has gone deep into the universe.

Scientists say they are considering using X-rays emitted from the planet, allowing the spacecraft to travel freely regardless of the device on Earth.

Metaphors are rotating neutron stars with extremely high compression, emitting extremely strong electromagnetic radiation, perfectly suited to the same technique as GPS today.

'Using X-ray detectors on the spacecraft, astronauts can measure the frequency of pulses received from pulses to determine the spacecraft's position and movement' , according to Space. com quoted Setnam Shemar of the National Physics Laboratory.

Using metaphors is the natural GPS of the universe that could one day allow humanity to cross the boundaries of the solar system and reach further targets.
