Astronomers Name New Galaxy 'CR7' In Honour Of Cristiano Ronaldo by babakol(m): 8:16pm On Jun 17, 2015 |
Cristiano Ronaldo has inspired a group of astronomers to such an extent that they named a new galaxy which was recently discovered as CR7 in honour of the footballer. A galaxy with the signature of first-generation stars was recently discovered and it is believed to have been existing when the universe was just 800 million years old according to a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, reported New York Times. Dr. David Sobral from the University of Lisbon who led the crew of astronomers which made the discovery said that the name of the galaxy CR7 was inspired by none other than Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid star is popularly known as CR7 since his Manchester United days and the astronomers showed why they were Ronaldo fans by naming the galaxy that they just discovered in honour of him. It is believed that the galaxy CR7 has been travelling for an astonishing 12.9 billion years. The astronomers say that the galaxy is part of a lost generation of stars which carried light into the universe after Big Bang. Cristiano Ronaldo is known as CR7 as it clubs his initials along with the jersey number he uses This in turn kick started the process of creation of elements which was needed for life as well as for planets and then disappeared. These stars are believed to be more than hundreds and thousand times more massive than the sun itself. In short, the astronomers believe that light came into the world through these galaxies and also had a part to play in the formation of life and planets. It is a huge honour bestowed on Cristiano Ronaldo by the astronomers as they chose his initials for the galaxy. In some way, it has certainly immortalized CR7 forever. m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2498740-newly-discovered-distant-galaxy-named-cr7-in-tribute-to-cristiano-ronaldo
