On Sunday, May 25, astronomers' telescopes recorded a mysterious energy object near the Sun, resembling a bird with its wings spread. Scientists at the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences have attempted to explain this phenomenon.
According to them, it may be a real object that is only projected onto the Sun but is located not near the device but at some distance—from several tens to several hundred kilometers.
With this interpretation, most likely, the destruction of the object is observed in the image, and this forms the tail. The final stage occurs with a bright flash, leading to over saturation of the detector—the bird's wings. But what this object is is not so easy to understand right away, since the process develops in outer space, where there seem to be no direct reasons for destruction.
From more exotic but quite scientific versions, astronomers have suggested that some exotic energetic particle capable of causing avalanche processes of the birth of secondary particles could have entered the detector.
With this explanation, the tail may be formed by an avalanche of secondary particles, and the "bird" is formed as a result of the illumination of the main energy of the particle, which occurs at the end of the track. But, in general, no complete explanation has yet been formed, which, however, is common in observational astronomy. We ourselves sometimes observed effects on our instruments that we never found explanations for. Currently, observational astronomy confidently classifies 99.9% of the objects that LASCO sees, but 0.1 or even 0.01% remain unexplained. The bird will most likely remain in this group.
