Ngowe-1996, isazi ngendalo saseYiputa uAly Barakat wafumana ilitye elincinane elingaqhelekanga kwimpuma yeSahara. Yayingafane ibe ngaphezu kwengqalutye, nje ububanzi buziisentimitha ezi-3.5 kobona banzi yaye yayisisihla esingaphezu kweegram ezingama-30 ubunzima. Eli litye laziwa ngokubanzi njenge "Hypatia Stone" emva kwengcali yezibalo kunye nefilosofi yasetyhini yenkulungwane yesine, eye yabhida izazinzulu ngezinye zeempawu zalo ezingaqondakaliyo.
Ukusukela oko kwafunyanwa ilitye le-Hypatia ngo-1996, izazinzulu bezizama ukufumanisa ukuba yeyiphi kanye kanye ingqalutye engaqondakaliyo imvelaphi.
Nangona iLitye le-Hypatia laqala ukufunyaniswa likwimvelaphi engaphandle komhlaba neza emhlabeni ngokusebenzisa i-meteorite, uhlalutyo olongezelelweyo lubonise ukuba alingeni kulo naluphi na udidi olwaziwayo lwe-meteorite. zulu.
Uphando olupapashwe kwi Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta nge-28 Dec 2017 icebisa ukuba ubuncinci i-micro-compounds etyeni inokuba yenziwe ngaphambi kobukho beLanga lethu okanye naziphi na iiplanethi kwisixokelelwano selanga, kuba loo masuntswana awahambelani nantoni na esiye sayifumana kwisixokelelwano sethu selanga.
Ingakumbi imichiza yeLitye leHypatia ayifani nayo nantoni na izazinzulu eziye zayifumanisa eMhlabeni okanye kwii-comets okanye kwiimeteorites ezizifundileyo.
Ngokophando, ilitye kusenokwenzeka ukuba ladalwa kwi-nebula yokuqala yelanga, ilifu elikhulu lothuli olune-homogenous interstellar apho iLanga kunye neeplanethi zalo zakha. Ngelixa ezinye zezinto ezisisiseko kwingqalutye zifumaneka eMhlabeni-ikhabhoni, i-aluminiyam, intsimbi, i-silicon-zikho ngokwemilinganiselo eyahlukileyo kunezinto esizibonileyo ngaphambili. Abaphandi baye bafumanisa iidayimani ezincinci elityeni abakholelwa ukuba zidalwe kukothuka kwempembelelo yeatmosfera yomhlaba okanye uqweqwe.
Xa iLitye leHypatia lafunyanwa okokuqala njengelitye elingaphandle komhlaba, yayiziindaba ezichukumisayo kubaphandi kunye nabanomdla abavela kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa ngoku izifundo ezitsha ezahlukeneyo kunye neziphumo zenze imibuzo emikhulu ngakumbi malunga nemvelaphi yokwenyani.
Uphononongo lukwacebisa kwangaphambili nebula yelanga isenokuba ayizange ifane njengoko besicinga ngaphambili. Ngenxa yokuba eminye imichiza yayo ibonisa ukuba i<em>solar nebula yayingelulo uthuli olufanayo kuyo yonke indawo—nto leyo eqalisa ukutsala imbono eyamkelekileyo ngokubanzi yokuyilwa kwesixokelelwano sezijikelezi-langa.
Kwelinye icala, iithiyori ze-astronaut zamandulo zikholelwa ukuba iLitye le-Hypatia limele ulwazi oluphambili lookhokho bethu bamandulo, abathi, ngokutsho kwabo, babelufumene kwiintlobo ezithile zezidalwa zangaphandle.
Nokuba yayiyintoni na, abaphandi bazama ngamandla ukuphanda ngemvelaphi yelitye, ngethemba lokuba baya kuzisombulula iipuzzle eziveliswe nguHypatia Stone.
