Are the alliens being the most plentiful?

The planets, like Earth and the living beings that inhabit it can be a infrequency. In the Milky Way, our galaxy, three out of four stars are red dwarfs like Trappist-1. So far, three solar systems with seven planets and a total of 10 habitable worlds have been discovered. The new finds breaks all records as it houses the largest number of terrestrial worlds and also contains three habitable, explains Ribas.

If water leaves from the Planet- will like the Earth to Mars

The two closest to the Earth planet - Mars and Venus - once had vast oceans, extending over many millions of square kilometers. But all the planets with liquid water on the surface is very fragile. Venus could not keep their oceans, and they vanished into space. Recently we learned that Mars lost most of their water, then it turned into a dry and cold desert.

What happens if you fly through the Earth?

The Funniest part of theoretical physics is that you can ask a stupid question and get your answer (sometimes too stupid). For example, what if you drilled a hole through the center of the Earth and leap through it? "Who could do such a stupid thing to do?" - You ask. Apparently no one. Such an act will kill you very sophisticated and split the millions of times. Let's assume that some brave soul ventured into it for the sake of science? What can happen, theoretically?

Destination Pluto: A land ship approaches the confines of the Solar System

Discovered in 1930, we now know that Pluto is the brightest numerous swarm of small bodies that, as a second asteroid belt orbiting the sun beyond the planets. Are so far we know very little about them.
We know they are mostly ice, which are more like comets, asteroids and many short-period comets come from there. You will craters? Will rings? Will rivers of neon, nitrogen geysers? Will one meteorology, polar caps, cryovolcanoes, underground seas?

Hubble telescope has found the impossible planet

Scientists are puzzled by the new discovery that could make using the space telescope Hubble. They found outside our solar system planet, the conditions of origin of which modern science can not yet explain. The report is published on the website of the Institute Space Telescope. Cosmic body surprising origin was discovered during monitoring situated at a distance of 176 light-years from Earth, the star TW Hydra. Heavenly body, which exoplanet, is removed from the star is 12 billion kilometers, reports the publication .

Astronomers, first time directly observed a planet


An international Astronomers team lead by Sascha Quanz from ETH Zurich in Switzerland examined the gas and dust disk around the young star HD 100546, which is located at a distance of only 335 light years in relative closeness to our solar system. The researchers were surprised when they found evidence of a planet that - surrounded in the disk of theme around the young star - is still in the development process. This possible planet would be a gas giant similar to Jupiter in our solar system.

Kepler-68b, a new type of planet


There are three types of planets in our solar system. On the one hand we have rocky worlds like Earth and Mars have a solid surface on which to put your feet and consist of 'rocks' (silicates and metals). Then there are gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium (and actually should be called "Giant fluid" because most of its interior hydrogen is a liquid or metallic). Finally we have the ice giants,

NASA has found the use of the Moon: the ship graveyard


Permanent satellite of our planet - the moon has a significant impact on the process in the world. Effect of its gravity resolves the level of magnetic field strength, the ebb and flow in different parts of the world ocean. In addition, it is no secret that a certain phase of the moon can affect the health of people. However, it seems, will soon receive a satellite, another function,

Signs of a planet from "Star Wars"


Amateur astronomers have discovered a new planet that rotates not only around two suns, but at the same time is the orbit of the other two suns. The new system, which has four of the sun in its composition, the first of its kind, which was discovered in the project for planet hunters led by a team at Yale University. Enthusiastic fans are working with professional scientists to analyze the data collected by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, and the search for new worlds.

Vesta may be a tiny planet


Deep melancholy surrounding the asteroid Vesta, may indicate that the message has a complex structure, a characteristic not of asteroids, and to the planets, according to a new study.

Researchers led by Debra Butskovski (Debra Buczkowski) Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland, noted that grooves that extend to the surface of Vesta, are no cracks in the form of the letter V, which are usually formed on the surfaces of asteroids in the result their collision with other space objects, and so-called grabens - areas of the cortex, which fell on the level of the rest of the surface tectonic fault lines, so that the form of education closer to the letter U.

NASA discovers two planets around a star cluster


U.S. scientists have found indication for the first time that there are planets that can form and survive around stars similar to the sun regardless of forming part of dense clusters of stars, NASA announced.

Astronomers discovered two orbits similar to Jupiter in the Beehive Cluster, a group of about 1,000 stars that seem to swarm around a common center.

"This has been a great puzzle for planet hunters," said Sam Quinn, a doctoral student in Astronomy at Georgia State University in Atlanta, and author of the paper describing the results.

Discovered another planet, which can have a life,


Gliese 163 c is classified as “sverhzemel "stone the size of the planets in our not too big: it is estimated minimum mass of 6.9 Earth. It rotate around a red dwarf star, making a complete rotation every 26 Earth days. Distance away from the star is about 50 light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Dorado.

Finding the Sweet ALMA


Using the telescope ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), a group of astronomers identify sugar molecules present in the gas surrounding a young star similar to the sun. This is the first time it has been found that sugar in the space around a star of this kind.
This finding demonstrates that the essential essentials for life are in the right time and place to exist on planets that form around the star.
                                                                   
Astronomers found glycolaldehyde molecules (a simple sugar [1]) in the gas surrounding a young star called IRAS 16293-2422 young binary,

Evaporating extrasolar planet does a lot of controversy


Dutch astronomers have found strong evidence see that a road falls apart standing exoplanet from. A New will analyze NASA's Kepler observations-Satellite planet shows that, in less give 16 hours to be running star, is covered in large amounts of dust from his planet surface loose. Result for accepted publication in astronomy & astrophysics.

Kepler looking to other nearby planets years to our stars give sun, called exoplanets.

NASA's Kepler fined out Multiple Planets Orbiting a Pair of Stars


Coming less than a year after the announcement of the first circumbinary planet, Kepler-16b, NASA's Kepler mission has exposed multiple transiting planets orbiting two suns for the first time. This system, Known as a circumbinary planetary system, is 4.900 light-years from Earth in the group Cygnus.

This exposure confirm that more than one planet can form and persist in the stressful dominion of a binary star and Demonstrates the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy.

Mars is still an "embryo" of planet


The planet Mars twisted in record time and reached its current size in just three million years, much faster than scientists thought. That rate of formation of the Red Planet could explain that its mass is one tenth of that of the Earth. The study supports a theory more than two decades, according to which the planet remained small because it avoided collisions with what would become the "planetary construction materials", ie other objects in space. The finding is published in the journal Nature.

In the early days of the solar system before the planets were formed, a cloud of gas and dust surrounding the Sun Scientists believe that the planets arose from the accumulation of this material driven by electrostatic energy.

Astrophysicists do not rule out Earth-like planet found before the 2022


Astrophysicists do not regulation out judgment within ten years a small planet like Earth said today Ignaci Ribas, one of the organizers of the "Cool Stars 17", the international meeting on cool stars in Barcelona brings together the best experts in this type of stars.
Rivas said in remarks to Efe already  identified  more  than  800  planets around cool stars, and that is very close to finding one that is very similar to ours.

Planet being disintegrated by the heat of its star


(NCYT) While all this evidence seems strong, additional observations are required to confirm adequately the existence of this planet and its peculiar situation. It all started when the team of Saul Rappaport, professor emeritus of physics at MIT, Boston, Massachusetts , and Jon Jenkins, a researcher attached to the Kepler Space Telescope SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, identified an unusual pattern of light from a star called KIC 12557548 in the Kepler field of view.

A strange hot spot on a planet from outside our solar system


The Spitzer Space Telescope NASA has exposed a strange point of heat in a planet outside our solar system in the Andromeda group, 44 light years from the Earth. The planet, Upsilon Andromeda, is a massive such as 'hot Jupiters', named for its high temperatures and gas formation. The strange thing, the mystery that scientists cannot manage to explain, is that this extraordinary heat zone is located in a part of the planet in which there should be, away from exposure to the star, which contradicts all theories known.
