Nangona into ebonakala ngathi ifundwe ixesha elide lendalo yombane, inkqubo yesizukulwana kunye nokusasazwa kokukhutshwa kombane kwi-atmosfera yahlala ikude nokuba icace njengoko bekukholelwa eluntwini. Iqela lezazinzulu zaseYurophu ezikhokelwa ziingcali zeKarlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ukukhanya kwiinkqubo ezineenkcukacha zokubunjwa kokukhutshwa kombane kwaye kusetyenziswa isixhobo esingaqhelekanga kakhulu kule - telescope yerediyo.
Uluhlu olubalulekileyo lwee-eriyali ze-LOFAR (i-Low Frequency Array) iteleskopu yerediyo ibekwe eNetherlands, nangona amawaka ee-eriyali esasazwa kwindawo enkulu yaseYurophu. Imitha ye-cosmic ibonwa ngee-eriyali ize ihlalutywe. Iingcali zenzululwazi zagqiba ekubeni zisebenzise i-LOFAR okokuqala ngqa ukufunda umbane kwaye zafumana iziphumo ezimangalisayo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, umbane uhamba kunye nemitha yerediyo yerediyo kwaye inokubonwa nge-eriyali ngesisombululo esihle: ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1 mitha esikhaleni kunye nokuphindaphinda kwesibonakaliso esinye kwi-microsecond nganye. Kwavela ukuba isixhobo esinamandla seenkwenkwezi sinokuchaza ngokweenkcukacha malunga nesiganeko esenzeka ngokoqobo phantsi kweempumlo zabantu basemhlabeni.
Ngokutsho kwezi uyabona inkqubo yokubunjwa kokukhutshwa kombane. Iteleskopu kanomathotholo incede umboniso okokuqala ngqa ukusekwa kombane osanda kufunyanwa "inaliti" - uhlobo olwalungaziwa ngaphambili lokuphuma kombane kunye nejelo leplasma elihlanjwe kakuhle. Inaliti nganye enjalo inokufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-400 ubude kwaye ifike kwiimitha ezi-5 ububanzi. Yayiyi "inaliti" eyayichaza isiganeko sokubetha kwemibane emininzi kwindawo enye ngexesha elifutshane kakhulu. Ngapha koko, intlawulo eqokelelwe emafini ayikhutshwa kanye, eya kuba nengqiqo ukusuka kwindawo yembono yefiziksi eyaziwayo, kodwa ibetha umhlaba ngaphezu kweyodwa okanye kabini - ukukhutshwa okuninzi kwenzeka ngomzuzwana.
Njengoko umfanekiso ovela kwiteleskopu yerediyo ubonisile, "iinaliti" zisasaza ngokuthe ngqo kumajelo eplasma ahlanjwe kakuhle kwaye, ngaloo ndlela, ibuyisela inxalenye yentlawulo kwilifu elikhuphe ukuphuma kombane. Ngokutsho kwezazinzulu, yile ndlela yokuziphatha yamajelo e-plasma ahlanjwe kakuhle achaza iinkcukacha ezingacacanga ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ekuziphatheni kombane.
