Scientists predicted the existence of planet-bagels

Researchers from Harvard and the University of California, Davis predicted the existence of planetary objects called “synestia,” a huge, rotating Publico-like masses of hot melted stone-shaped objects the size of a planet, as a result of collisions with each other. The study was published in the journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, produced by the American geophysical Union.

Moreover, according to the researchers, this stage of formation has passed and our Land. Seneste occurs as a result of strong collisions of smaller objects with high rotation speed, when the material melts and partially evaporates. Over time new objects are cool and solidify into a famous now nearly spherical planet with a concomitant separation of the satellites.

Seneste more reminiscent of a doughnut, bagel or erythrocytes. The authors formed this name from the Greek words συν (together) and Eστια (Hestia, the goddess of architecture). For the study, they used their own program HERCULES (Highly Eccentric Rotating Concentric U (potential) Equilibrium Structure of Layers).
