A photo From Open Source Space Observations ESA Express machines show new mystery of mysterious asteroid Oljato (Olhato). Asteroid 2201 Oljato made a lot of noise thanks to an unusual shot where it looks like a cross flying through space and leaving a long train. Many Internet users saw an alien in this image spaceship, and thanks to new observations, this the fantastic hypothesis will surely find even more supporters. In addition, Oljato has a very strongly elongated orbit, thanks to why does it cross the orbits of three terrestrial planets at once: Venus, Mars and Earth. So far, even astronomers themselves have difficulty unambiguously say whether the very bright 1.8 km Oljato asteroid or unusual comet. Oljato has a very elongated orbit, thanks to which it crosses the orbits of three terrestrial planets at once Back in the 1980s, the passage of asteroid 2201 Oljato inside the orbit Venus caused a flurry of magnetic activity. Now results ESA Express probe observations show that the asteroid has lost its magnetic activity. Scientists believe that the key to this unusual behavior lies in the processes of collision Oljato with the orbital garbage.

Oljato revolves around the Sun every 3.2 years. During his the operation of the NASA probe Pioneer Venus Orbiter three times observed the passage of Oljato between Venus and the Sun. Every time in the region there was a noticeable increase in unusual magnetic peaks known under abbreviated as IFES. However later observations testify that IFES near Venus during the passage of Oljato became lower than in other parts of the trajectory of the asteroid. Scientists The clash process is believed to be the answer. between Oljato and orbital debris. As is known, as a result collisions in space are formed by electrically charged particles dust that is accelerated by the solar wind. Once Oljato threw away boulders into their orbits – mostly several tens of meters in diameter. They formed a trash loop behind and in front asteroid. This train acted as a kind of shield, which cleared the way for an asteroid. As a result of the collision of the “shield” with orbital debris generated a large amount of dust, which then the solar wind blew. At that moment, Pioneer registered peaks IFES. Thanks to the “shield” that crushed space debris and turned it into dust, once a very “dirty” region of the movement Oljato near Venus became unusually clean. Of course, scientists sure that the work of the “broom” Oljato, removing more than 3 tons of dust every day, based on processes related to the solar wind and gravitational disturbances, but not with activity aliens.
