The universe outside the solar system is different from what we think

According to AP, scientists from the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) on January 31 said that the universe outside our solar system is different and strange than one might think.

The statement comes after observations from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) circling the Earth to study the edge of the solar system. This is the first probe to directly measure interstellar matter into the solar system.

The finding suggests that more oxygen atoms fly freely in our solar system than in the outer space.

Scientists cannot explain the cause of the phenomenon but think that this kind of life-support element may be hidden in dust and ice.

The IBEX was launched in 2008 and turned in orbit about 321,855 km from the Earth to detect particles transmitted into the solar system.

Although the sun and planets prevent dangerous cosmic radiation rays from passing through, neutral molecules can still pass, allowing IBEX to establish their distribution.
