Curiosity rover paves the path for the first steps of man on Mars
According to
scientists, in their first year on Mars, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity made a
discovery that should help pave the way for a human mission to the Red Planet,
which is planned for the next few decades.
"Solid spacecraft Curiosity, brought to us useful information on the radiation level on the
surface of the Red Planet in deep space.
Live Stream Output Russian cosmonauts into space
On Friday, August 16
and Thursday August 22, NASA TV will broadcast live spacewalk outside the
International Space Station, two Russian cosmonauts. Two Russian cosmonaut
flight engineers - Fedor and Alexander Jurchihin Misurkin, leave the airlock,
"Pierce" at about 10:40 in the morning and come out into open space,
The three brightest asteroids
In the next few weeks
will have to the perfect opportunity to chance the three brightest asteroids in
the sky in the middle of stargazing. These cosmic objects are small in size,
but quite bright. Not many amateur astronomers could see them move across the
sky. But in the next few weeks, all of us will have the great opportunity to
see a flight of three asteroids - Flora, Juno and Iris in the night sky.

The consequence of the change of magnetic fields on the sun for the solar system
As recently it became
known, our Sun will soon change the magnetic poles. But what specific consequences
for us is this event? The process of
changing the magnetic poles which are known to occur on the Sun every 11 years
will occur in the next 3-4 months.
Although this is not a
catastrophic event, the change of the magnetic poles we feel for yourself.

The Commission's proposal of ESA to reduce dependency on the U.S. space technology
The Commission of the
European Space Agency has put forward a proposal to develop their own space
technologies to reduce Europe's dependence on space technology and military
influence of the United States.
Agency commission is
once again trying to consolidate the overall efforts to develop its own space
technology related to global positioning system,
A new way to transfer data to observatories - Laser bond
Recently open a new
optical laser ground station in Spain on the island of Tenerife. Enhanced laser
system requires a significantly higher speed and quality of the data in the
interaction with spacecraft located outside our solar system. This system is ready
for operation after a series of crucial tests on the ground.
Laser system, which
transmits data in the infrared, can open the door to the future in the field of
reception of large amounts of information received from the spacecraft from
Earth orbit, and the orbit of Mars and other more distant planets.
Parade of the three planets
During these three
days, in the clear sky you can see the "parade of three planets" that
are low in the north-eastern part of the sky.
Three bright planets
are placed diagonally across the sky at this weekend's pre-dawn sky which is
right at the top of Jupiter, in the middle of Mars and Mercury at the bottom
left. In addition, the company they will be waning moon.

The formation of planetary systems
Researchers found that
the planetary systems are moving around other stars, more organized than our
system. In fact, the way they are
located, means that astronomers can use the old law to predict where new
discoveries will be made.
More than 200 years ago,
it was found that the distance between the planets of our solar system can be
loosely described mathematical relation, now known as the "Titius -
Bode." Since the law is not fully understood, many modern astronomers
believe that the law - no more than a meaningless coincidence.

Today went to the ISS Japanese robot Kirobo
The current ISS crews
eagerly await the arrival of an unusual member of the space expedition. Today,
August 4, went into space the world's first talking robot Kirobo. This Japanese
34-inch robot was launched to orbit the International Space Station from the
island of Tanegashima in using booster H-2B.
Known a new type of cosmic collision
The American space agency
NASA was able to photograph the outer encounter that is fairly new to the rare
species. Fix the collision of black holes and neutron stars orbiting telescope
helped scientists "Hubble." A new type of cosmic collision or rather
its product called "kilonova".
Picture of the
phenomenon was obtained kilonova "Hubble" July 3, 2013. It is shown

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter discovered "cemetery" of comets
Colombian province of
astronomers from the University of Antioquia in Medellin, observing space
objects found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter cluster of comets, which
over millions of years show no signs of activity.
However, as scientists
believe, under certain conditions, "dormant" comets can "come
alive".
Star leaves the galaxy like a cork bottle
Astronomers have
discovered a super fast double star, which flies out of our galaxy at a speed
of more than 800 kilometers per second.
Hyperspeed stars were
first seen by people in the early 2000s: their speed relative to the center of
the Galaxy reached 500 kilometers per second, and this rate was enough to
"Get rid" of the star attraction of the system and go to a free
intergalactic space.
Most interesting studies of the interplanetary station "Messenger"
August 3, 2004 was
launched interplanetary station "Messenger". Its aim was to study the
closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. The unit flew to the hot planet 7 years,
and only in 2011 it entered the orbit. For two years in orbit, he was able to
do a lot of images of Mercury's surface, collected and handed over a huge
amount of information on the Earth. Powerful Space probe "Messenger"
is equipped with a dual-mode camera, spectrometers, four species, altimeter,
and a magnetometer.
The warped galaxy NGC 3718
Inspection of
multicolored cosmic view shown above reveals a surprising number of galaxies in
the Ursa Major. Some are close, some far away.
The galaxy is striking,
no doubt, NGC 3718, the spiral is deformed toward the center of the image. Its
spiral arms, which are distinguished numerous clusters of young, blue stars,
appear to have been twisted and elongated (see picture at the bottom of the
post). As to the central region of yellow bands are marked by dark powder.

NASA summarizes a year of Curiosity rover on Mars
NASA has released a
video with a sequence of 548 images of two minutes in length showing all the
work of Curiosity rover on Mars since its arrival on the planet, just a year
ago.
Through a camera
mounted on the front of this vehicle research, have been able to capture some
of your most important moments in Mars as the moment you start to move around
the planet as well as the collection of a sample of Martian rock .
The device Spitzer discovered young stars
Observing through Spitzer
Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a young star system, which
"flickers" every 3 months. The system, called YLW 16A, consists of
three stars, two of which are surrounded by a disk of a certain matter that
remains after the formation of stars.
Since the two inner
stars circling around each other,
The Doppler Effect and long-planet
We are all familiar
with the Doppler Effect, even if you do not know the term. Today, scientists
have found an alternative explanation for the phenomenon when the sound or the light spinning object is scattered. This discovery could help astronomers to
measure the rotation of the planet, or even improve the performance of wind
turbines.
Here is what the
principle of the Doppler Effect: when the object emitting the noise is moving
towards its sound waves converge together and produce a higher frequency.
Conversely, when the subject moves away, the sound waves are scattered. The
faster the object moves, the sharper the frequency difference.

Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse: Just Do the Math
This equation could
spell your doom: (bN)(S/N)Z = bSZ. That is, if you ever found yourself in the
midst of a zombie pandemic.
That's because the
calculation describes the rate of zombie transmission, from one walking dead
individual to many, according to its creators, Robert J. Smith?, a mathematics
professor at the University of Ottawa who spells his name with a "?"
at the end, and his students.
Big Bang Light Reveals Minimum Lifetime of Photons
The notion of the speed
of light as the cosmic speed limit is based on the assumption that particles of
light, called photons, have no mass. But astrophysical observations cannot rule
out the slim chance that photons do have a tiny bit of mass—a prospect with
wide ramifications in physics. For instance, if photons weigh nothing at all,
they would be completely stable and could theoretically last forever. But if
they do have a little mass, they could eventually decay into lighter particles.
SpaceX wins bid to launch Canadian radar satellites
Privately owned Space
Exploration Technologies was selected to launch a trio of Canadian radar

to expensive and wasteful air conditioners to complete.
So when Wallflower
Architecture and Design began to create Wind Vault House in the island nation,
the company has established an elaborate system of passive cooling.
A bit like a store Wind
Vault House to be honest, so far very attractive building.
Astronomers are digging under the brown dwarfs
Astronomers have
focused all their attention on brown dwarfs, trying to uncover all of their
secrets. Despite the fact that brown dwarfs are not the full-fledged stars, and
substars and occupy an intermediate niche between these massive stars and
planets, they cause enormous interest among scientists. Astronomers from around
the world are trying to figure out what is more like brown dwarfs: the planets
or stars. What a performance they made more or are they still are an entirely
different stage of development than the traditional brown dwarfs and planets.
In addition, the astronomers looking for protoplanetary disks around brown
dwarfs, and the worlds that are formed in these disks.
Hubble Space Telescope photographed a few nearby galaxies
This galaxy is like a
giant funnel that sucks in everything that falls into it. According to the
scientists, "Whirlpool" - is a classic spiral galaxy diameter of 100
thousand light-years. It is a favorite subject of Earth observation from amateur
astronomers, since it has contrasting branches, because of which it is
perfectly visible through a telescope.
Hubble has also managed
to remove the flash bright star in the galaxy M59 (pictured below).

The bottom of the path from the Martian mountains "Point Solander"
The rover Opportunity
starts climbing the hilly area and is making his way to his first
mountain-called "Point Solander." This will be the first
"mountain" climbing to the rover. As expected, scientists, the view
from the surface of the hill must be impressive.
Currently, the rover
has done only a few short "steps" to the south, from his landing on
the north side, and so far passed through a relatively flat plain along the rim
of the crater rim of Endeavour. The rover is at a distance of only about 180
meters from the mountain, "Solander Point."
The third brightest supernova discovered in the spiral galaxy M74
M74 is a classic spiral
galaxy with arms that rotate their bright shimmering light, the stars with very
dense cores. The galaxy is at a distance of 32 million light-years from Earth
in the constellation of Pisces. M74 contains about 100 billion stars. The
spiral arms are dotted with dense star clusters and pink clouds of fluorescing
hydrogen gas.
