in fact, a pulsar seems to be fleeing from the fast-spinning star, suggesting the two were once a pair that split up when a companion star exploded and became the pulsar we see today.
their explanation: a faint, far-off companion star to the sun was sending down a rain of comets when it reached just the right point in its orbit.
他们的解释是这样的:遥远的地方,太阳有一颗微弱的伴星,当它到达轨道的某个定点时,就会产生大量彗星。
however unjust this may be, they suggested that if and when this companion star is found, it be named nemesis.
不管此种说法多么难以成立,他们提议说,如果发现了该伴星,则将其命名为nemesis。
material from the large blue companion star is seen being pulled toward the black hole by its powerful gravity.
在强大的引力作用下,蓝色伴星上的物质正在被拉入黑洞。
before the explosion, the companion star may have dumped gas onto vfts 102, spinning it up to extreme speed the way falling water makes a water wheel turn.
