Which planet will Mars migrate to after its successful migration?

When we talk about livable planets in the solar system, in addition to our home-the earth, another planet that attracts much attention is Mars, which is called the "second earth".

However, it is very difficult to transform Mars, because although Mars is in a livable zone, its surface conditions are extremely bad, and the terrible low temperature and endless dust make Mars a lifeless planet.

Of course, scientists have put forward many ways to transform Mars, hoping that Mars can be artificially made livable through transformation in the future. So, besides Mars, are there any other livable planets in the solar system?

A livable planet appeared 400 million kilometers away.

This planet, which is now optimistic by scientists and thinks that there is a great possibility of life, is the only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt-Ceres.

Speaking of it, the discovery of Ceres also benefited from the astronomical calculation in the middle of18th century. At that time, scientists had discovered six planets (except Uranus and Neptune). At the same time, in the process of studying the six planets, scientists found that there is a certain relationship between the distance ratio of the six planets and the sun.

Simply put, this distance ratio has a certain average value, which is also the key to maintaining the stability of the solar system. Therefore, through calculation, scientists believe that there should be another celestial body between Mars and Jupiter. You know, people didn't know the existence of the asteroid belt at that time, so they thought there might be a planet between Mars and Jupiter.

Interestingly, according to the distance between the planet and the sun, it was not Ceres that scientists first discovered, but a British scientist discovered and confirmed the existence of Uranus in the estimated orbit through speculation.

This discovery also convinced scientists that there is a new planet between Mars and Jupiter. However, after Uranus was discovered at 178 1, no one found any new celestial bodies between Mars and Jupiter in the next 20 years. At this time, many researchers began to doubt whether the previous estimate was wrong.

Finally, in the New Year of 180 1, an Italian astronomer observed the sky and found a small celestial body in the orbit between Mars and Jupiter. In the following days, he also observed its existence and found that this small celestial body was constantly moving.

But not long after, when looking for this small celestial body again, it disappeared again. Other astronomers didn't find this small celestial body after they got the news, so many people thought it might be a comet that flashed by.

Nearly 1 year has passed. On the last day of 180 1 and 12, German astronomers finally discovered this small celestial body again. At the same time, after more than two months of continuous observation, its existence was officially confirmed. 1738, Ceres became the first asteroid discovered by human beings.

In the next 200 years, scientists learned more and more about Ceres, especially after the discovery of the asteroid belt and Pluto.

In 2006, Pluto was downgraded, and Ceres was successfully upgraded to a dwarf planet, becoming the closest dwarf planet to the Earth. Interestingly, many studies in recent years also show that Ceres seems to be a very livable planet.

Marine planets in the asteroid belt

In the past, due to the limited level of science and technology, people's understanding of Ceres was also one-sided. Until February 20 15, when NASA's Dawn flew over Ceres, it sent back a group of mysterious photos. Through photos, scientists found a mysterious bright spot on the surface of Ceres.

What will this highlight be? In the subsequent research, the discovery of "ice substance" on Ceres also made scientists have more expectations for this planet.

NASA's Dawn probe found a mysterious feather on Ceres, which means that Ceres is extremely active inside, and there may be something unknown under its surface.

Even more surprising, on Ceres, Dawn also photographed a pyramid-shaped object, which made many people suspect that there might have been an unknown civilization on Ceres.

In addition, recent research also shows that there may be a lot of liquid water and water ice on Ceres, which is probably an ocean planet, and it may be more suitable to transform it than to transform Mars.

In August last year, NASA released the research report of Ceres again, which showed that Ceres may be an ocean planet with 40% liquid water inside. At the same time, some researchers suspect that there may be life on Ceres because the detector found water vapor on Ceres.

How did Ceres evolve?

When it comes to the formation of asteroids in the asteroid belt, scientists believe that it is generally related to the collision of planets in the early solar system. Although there are only eight planets in the solar system today, modern scientific research believes that in the early days of the birth of the solar system, the number of planets in the solar system may be at least hundreds.

As we all know, the sun, as a yellow dwarf, is not very massive, which means that a large number of planets gather around the sun, but the sun cannot allocate enough orbits for them.

Therefore, there was an "orbital war" between the early planets. Most of the planets eventually became fragments in the impact, and were gathered between Mars and Jupiter under the influence of Jupiter's gravity, forming an asteroid belt.

Of course, there are some special protoplanets, such as Ceres. What is a protoplanet? Simply put, it is a planet in its infancy. For some reasons, for example, it suffered heavy losses in the early stage of evolution, which led to the disappearance of a large number of masses and led to its failure to evolve normally.

Therefore, the protoplanet was finally preserved in the shape of a "dwarf planet". It is also an independent and complete individual, belonging to the predecessor of the earth-like planet. Therefore, it will have intense internal activities, which can continuously generate heat energy inside, thus becoming an ocean planet.

It is believed that Ceres' liquid ocean should be located between the stratum and the core. Because it is far away from the sun, due to insufficient light, an ice layer is formed on its surface, so its ocean will be "sealed" inside.

Is Ceres really suitable for humans?

At the beginning of the article, we mentioned that at this stage, the most suitable immigrant planet for human beings is Mars, which is the focus of current exploration. However, there are many problems in the transformation of Mars. After all, the interior of Mars is in a state of "death", and Mars has no magnetic field, which means that even if humans successfully simulate the environment of the earth on the surface of Mars, Mars may not be able to provide human beings with livable space for too long.

To put it more bluntly, the internal activities of Mars are not active, and it is impossible to continuously provide help such as heat energy, so that human beings can successfully transform in a short time.

Ceres, on the other hand, is different. As we said above, Ceres is a planet with very active internal movement. As early as many years ago, scientists put forward a plan to transform Ceres.

For example, around Ceres, a number of "space stations" have been built around Ceres, each of which can accommodate 5,000 people. In these small space cities, you can also simulate the gravity environment on the earth by rotating.

In addition, the surface of Ceres can be modified, and its surface temperature can be increased by some methods to form an atmosphere similar to the earth. In this way, many resources on Ceres can be self-sufficient, and humans can also directly supply resources to the "satellite city" around Ceres through transportation equipment.

But because Ceres is in the asteroid belt, we all know that there are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt, which means that Ceres will have more chances to be hit, which leads to Ceres being less stable than we thought.

At the same time, Ceres is a dwarf planet after all, and it is even much smaller than the moon. Relatively speaking, its surface land area can't support too many people. Compared with Mars, although it is very small, the land area on Mars is similar to that on Earth, which means that Mars can carry more people.

Besides Ceres and Mars, scientists have been trying to find new homes for human beings for many years. Although in their research, many scientists have found that there are livable planets outside the solar system, which are suitable for humans to carry bags, but humans may never arrive.

Because the universe is too big and human speed is too slow, even if we can fly at the speed of light, it will take us nearly nine years to get back and forth to the nearest proxima centauri Centauri system.

Other livable planets are even out of reach. Therefore, the focus of human migration in the future is still inside the solar system. So, in your opinion, which planet in the solar system is the most reliable?
