DSI plans to launch first probe "asteroid" of the fleet in 2015

Astrophysics from the University of Leicester was first discovered aurora beyond the solar system. Article scientists published in The Astrophysical Journal, and its summary can be found at TGDaily.

U.S. astronomers measure the mass of the largest found in the universe of black holes.

At the center of most galaxies is a supermassive black hole, and often more than one. That is the case in the Milky Way. SMCHD usually increases with the mass of the galaxy itself, and vice versa. It now appears that this rule may well have many exceptions.

Sixth planet - HD 40307 - attracted attention of scientists because it was almost exactly in the middle of the "habitable zone" around a star. "Zone of life" scientists call the area around a star where surface Earth-like planets could exist liquid water.

Computer models that have been developed to predict the effects of hurricanes, the saturation of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, etc., able to predict the formation of ice on Mars, when and where and when it's really happening.

American astronomers, working with two optical telescopes, the Keck Observatory, discovered the star S0-102, all located close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Astronomers Vitaly Nevsky (Belarus) and Artem Novichonok (Russia) on 21 September at the observatory ISON-Kislovodsk international scientific network of optical instruments (ISON), located near Kislovodsk, discovered the comet, which may be the brightest in the last decade. Confirmed the cometary nature of the object at several large telescopes, said the observatory ISON-NM.

Finally, the situation will become clearer in 2023, when the asteroid will be at 1.8 million km from Earth. If at the beginning of February, he falls into a certain 365-kilometer corridor, the gravitational pull of the Earth will affect its trajectory so that the February 5, 2040 2011 and AG5 planet shrug their hands.

Protoplanetary disk around the star HD 202862 has a diameter of 400 a. is, in a 140. is, by this light, presumably, is the planet that does not fit into the standard model of the planetary system. How could this happen and what does that mean?

International group of astronomers were able to determine the redshift, which corresponds to that found more than a decade ago, an extremely bright source HDF 850.1, and estimate its mass and the intensity of star formation.

Do not deceive you serenity of the scene with Saturn and Tethys in the lead roles. In the northern hemisphere has not healed the scars left by a colossal storm, which raged through most of 2011. And in the south is growing shadow of the rings - coming winter.

Parabolic and dipole antennas, which would amount to a vast array of Square

European astronomers have estimated the content of primary lithium in the universe, using the data of spectroscopic observations of massive stars that are at the late stage of its evolution.

NASA telescope recorded the light of someone else's rocky planets

In a study of ultraviolet spectra of the "old" lights HD 160 617 American astronomers have found traces of arsenic and selenium - a relatively heavy elements, which have never before been in the halo of the Milky Way stars.

Recent studies on the number of planets in the habitable zone around red dwarfs, the most massive stars in the Milky Way have shown, including the fact that if they would give rise to life, totally different from the Earth.

Observations on the Canadian-French-Hawaii Telescope have shown that, in the constellation Ursa Minor hidden globular cluster, the visual luminosity is only ~ 120 times greater than solar.

The picture is very rare: first, the brevity of this stage means that at any point in this phase are very few stars, and secondly, the clouds are dull and require powerful telescopes. As a result, a similar phenomenon was found only recently - about forty years ago, and the egg was first.

This star, located about 200 light-years away in 2007 received the title of the most similar to the sun, changing 18 Scorpii. New observations have shown that HIP 56948 also has nearly the same temperature and similarly devoid of the usual for this type of star abundance of heavy elements.

The focus of the experts put the search for traces of past or present life. Sending a man - in last place.

In Namibia, there are lowlands, which in the rainy season is covered with a thin layer of water, protruding from the ground. The water then evaporates, leaving behind a mark of how, after high tide. Although the Titan instead of water only methane, ethane and propane, the process seems to be flowing the same way.

The GLONASS system is now part of the public infrastructure for timing and navigation software. Creating a component of the defense industry, today GLONASS has found application in various fields of national economy and the pace of integration in sectors such as construction, agriculture and transport are growing rapidly.
