Chapter 181

[the International Astronomical Observatory first announced the Mars impact event, and then the major astronomical organizations around the world released news one after another. The biggest historical event in the solar system this year took place. The news spread wildly around the world the next day, and it was well known overnight.

NASA held a press conference on the same day and released two news to the outside world. One is to announce that the "Mars program" will be postponed, the landing plan will be postponed to the third best launch window time, and the first human landing on Mars will be postponed to 2024; the second is to announce that the Mars impact event will be broadcast live from the Mars Observer 3 tomorrow.

The announcement of the two news was due to the sudden appearance of the "terminator" meteorite, which led to this historic cosmic event.

Not only NASA announced that it would broadcast the event live, but also China, which has a probe in the current orbit of Mars, also followed closely. China's National Space Administration announced that it would live broadcast the big event of the Mars impact. China's National Space Administration would live broadcast the event through "yinghuo-3", and the news studio would carry out 45% of this live broadcast Minutes of special report and live broadcast.

Tomorrow, at dusk, Beijing time, to be exact, it will be 18:17:08, when the giant meteorite "terminator" will hit Mars "Olympus", and at 18:10, "Phobos" will be the first to fall to the earth's surface.

Major mainstream media all over the world have replaced the headlines of the day and published the Mars impact. "The most serious" car accident "in history," the most violent "crash" in the solar system, "a rare wonder of the universe in six million years" and "the real version of the great collision between heaven and earth" and other attractive headlines. Billions of people around the world learned the news on the same day, and the Mars impact exploded overnight on social networks and circles of friends.

In one day today, this cosmic event will explode instantly in the whole world. This is a rare scene of extinction seen in millions of years, and it happened on Mars, the nearest planet to the earth. Human beings may witness the whole process of this event with the clearest image.

On this day, there is only one news in the world: Mars impact event!

Ren Hong also remains concerned about the cosmic super crash. With the time approaching, hundreds of millions of people around the world are waiting for the arrival of 18:17 on October 6, which happens to be the end of the National Day holiday. After several days of travel vacation, it is the time for people to have a good rest indoors. It is also a great blessing to be able to witness a rare wonder of the universe in millions of years. For China, this day seems to be a trend of national concern. In fact, it is the focus of attention all over the world.

At 18 o'clock on October 16, Beijing East eight district time, countless people either stare at the live TV or live video broadcast through the network. This moment is such an expectation. Especially those who are interested in Astrophysics and the mysteries of the universe, they are as excited as a chicken. For some enthusiasts of astronomy, they can watch it on the Internet To see such a spectacle in one's lifetime is the greatest happiness of life!

Li Zixi is a fanatical astronomer. He has not left the computer for ten hours since he got the news, waiting for the arrival of the miracle time in silence.

“18:10:06…… 07…… 08！！！” Li Zixi looked at the countdown specially marked on the live screen, and silently recited with the beat of the number in his heart.

In the live news room in front of him, two experts in the field of astronomy were invited to become the live guests of this live broadcast. The host and the two guests were still talking.

One of the guests fiddled with a model of the solar system on the stage and said: "because the distance between Mars and the earth is very far, and they orbit in their respective orbits, the distance between the two will be different at different time points. The distance between Mars and the earth is about 0.6 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit is the distance between the earth and the sun). When Mars and earth are on the same side of the sun, the distance is the shortest, which is commonly known as the best launch window. When two planets are at the two ends of the sun and are in the same straight line, the distance between the earth and Mars is the farthest, which is 2.6 astronomical units 。 Today's Mars is relatively close to earth, and there is only a six minute time difference between signals from Mars. At this time, our "firefly 3" should have captured a clear picture of the terminator meteorite entering the Martian gravitational field. At the same time, Phobos should have broken the original gravity balance and began to leave its orbit and fall to the earth's surface. "

The host nodded at the commentary of the guests, then looked at the camera and said, "well, thank you for Professor Yisheng's professional analysis. OK, we have received the message that the image of "firefly 3" has been sent back. The staff are preparing and the picture will be transferred in one minute. "

Li Zixi stares at the screen with his eyes wide open. With the screen switching, the scene that countless people have been waiting for is finally coming.

The people watching the video were staring at it with their eyes wide open. After the video was transferred, the picture showed the dark background of the universe."It was Phobos Li Zixi saw the irregular celestial body in the picture and quickly recognized it. He was indeed a fanatic astronomer. After a while, the host explained the celestial body roughly.

"Fall! It really fell down! " Li Zixi couldn't help but roar. In the picture, Phobos, which was locked by "firefly 3", is gradually moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. As time goes on, it is constantly accelerating. The gravitational imbalance of Phobos falls to the ground faster and faster. At this time, the video screen is divided into two, with Phobos on the left and Phobos on the right The picture shows an object the size of a lychee. Professor Yi Sheng explains in the aside: "we can see that in the picture on the right, that object is the" terminator "meteorite. Although it is so small, it actually has a diameter of 60 kilometers, and it is colliding into" Olympus mountain "at the speed of more than 14 kilometers per second

With the passage of time, the actual picture of the "terminator" meteorite is getting larger and larger. At this time, the image of "terminator" meteorite is reduced by one fifth, showing in the lower left corner, while Phobos is shown in the main video. At this point in time, it broke through the upper atmosphere of Mars, and the surface layer of Phobos collided with the atmosphere to produce a flame, which brought a long tail of flame into the eyes of all the audience. This scene was extremely beautiful, but it represented death.

Another 79 seconds later, the two images merge into one, and "firefly 3" lengthens the lens. The audience is surprised to see that the two celestial bodies, Phobos and terminator, are falling to the ground with their long tails of flame at high speed.

Finally, "Phobos" is the first to hit the earth's surface. At that moment, the whole picture is covered by light, and the scene of extinction comes. The whole screen can not see anything at this moment.
