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. 

Moon Has Close Encounters with Planets, Star This Month: How to See It

If you only glance at the sky now and then, you may think it's pretty much the same every night. Regular sky watchers know better, and are aware of the constant changes the sky undergoes.

Take the moon, for example. Although most people know that the moon revolves around the Earth, they may never have noticed this movement with their own eyes. This week we get a chance to do exactly that.

Star and a black hole revolving in rapid waltz

Space Telescope European Space Agency's XMM-Newton helped discover a star and a black hole that address near each other at high speed, making one revolution in just 2.4 hours - which is an hour shorter than the orbital period of the previous record holder.

A black hole in the close pair, known as the MAXI J1659-152, at least three times as massive as the Sun, while the mass of its companion star - a red dwarf star - only 20% of the solar mass. 

Make stars are born

Astronomers have calculated that the birth of planets around young stars can occur even at a later stage than previously considered. In the study of the properties of star TW Hydra found strong evidence. This star is at a distance of 176 light-years from Earth, refers to the spectral type K8 and attracts the surrounding gas and dust astronomers drive. A few years ago, close to the TW Hydra was discovered planet, which weighs slightly larger than Jupiter.

A structure of stars

The complicated filaments of dust and gas that make up this astrophysical nursery home to more than 600 stars in formation. This province was first observed by the Herschel space observatory of ESA.

The province colored blue nebula, known as W40, or Sharpless 2-64, is located 1,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Aquila,

The presence of massive extrasolar planets around star Fomalhaut

Nearest star Fomalhaut has a massive exoplanet, reported NASA scientists after the second study using space telescope "Hubble".

Back in 2008, astronomers announced that they had discovered a planet called Fomalhaut B and shrouded in dust orbiting star Fomalhaut at a distance of 25 light years from Earth.

Discovered the most rapidly rotating superdense star

Scientists have found evidence of what may be the fastest moving pulsar. During the observation using three different telescopes - NASA's X-ray Observatory "Chandra", ESA XMM-Newton, located in space, and a radio telescope Parks in Australia.

X-ray observations, "Chandra" and XMM-Newton were combined with infrared data of the project 2MASS optical data and digital images of the sky.

43rd Week - The cometary star forming region G110-13

The northern Milky Way in the area over cipher Cassiopeia to Peruses is rich in interstellar matter. There are not only bright H II regions, but also reflection nebula and a lot of dark dust and molecular clouds. The current Academy of Sciences demonstrates a very nice example of a combination of molecular cloud and reflection nebula, namely, a brownish, elongated cloud in the border area Andromeda and Cassiopeia. 

Astronomers have calculated the ancestors of the Sun

Two astronomers at the Geneva Observatory, and Georges Mathieu Gunel Maine, recently declare that they were able to build out what looked like "ancestors" of our sun. As you know, the birth of stars is in the depth of the gas-dust clouds, "metals" which are the remains of already dead and exploding stars that were ejected into interstellar space and the force of the explosion that ultimately form these same gas and dust clouds.

Will people get to the stars?

Scientists, engineers, philosophers, psychologists and leading experts in many other fields gathered in Houston last week at a conference entitled 100 Year Starship conferences, to discuss the possibility of making interstellar travel over the next 100 years.

This initiative will accelerate the development of new technologies related to propulsion, life support systems, design starships, and a host of other technologies necessary to send spacecraft beyond our solar system - wherever does not get even a single man-made object, - and to other stars. Since the stars are coming from us at a distance of several light years, this company, no doubt, will be a difficult and risky.

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.

Sweet space: sugar from STAR

In a cloud of gas and dust around young stars are found far monosaccharides. The simplest the "building blocks of life" - exactly the right time and the right place to be on the planet-forming.

Binary star IRAS 16293-2422 is not so far, only 400 light-years from Earth in the gas and dust cloud surrounding the Rho Ophiuchi. Her entourage Danish astronomer Jess Jorgensen (Jes Jorgensen) and colleagues observed in the infrared, with the observatory  ALMA , revealed traces  glikolaldegida .

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.

A star cluster has a secret

The ESO La Silla Observatory in Chile shows the stunning globular star cluster Messier 4. This group consists of tens of thousands of antique stars is one of the closest and one of the most studied globular clusters. Recent research has exposed that one of its stars has unusual and surprising properties; apparently it is the secret of eternal youth.

Seeing the Birth of the Universe in an Atom of Hydrogen

Stars can unveil the history of our universe, Currently Estimated to be 14 billion years old. The beyond away the star, the older it is - and the oldest stars are the most difficult to detect. Current telescopes can only see galaxies About 700 million years old, and Only When the galaxy is unusually large or as the result of a big event like a stellar explosion.

Now, an international team of scientists led by researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a method for detecting galaxies of stars That Formed When the universe was in its infancy,

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,

‘Cry' of a ragged Star messenger New Era for Testing Relativity

Last year, astronomers discovered an inactive black hole in a distant galaxy that explodes after grate and consuming a passing star. Identified Researchers now have a distinctive X-ray signal in the days Observed Following The explosion that comes from matter on the edge of falling into the black hole.

This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO,

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.

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 dying star points its gun gamma rays Sun

A star located 7,000 light years from Earth will generate a flow of poisonous gamma rays and is aim it seems that to our solar system, according to a team of physicists and astronomers. Within a few hundred thousand years, in short, as the clocks of cosmologists-Rayet star Wolf 104 (WR104), actually more of a binary system of two stars that revolve around a common center of gravity, will explode violently in a supernova

except it will not do since most huge stars, according to Peter Tut hill, a researcher at the School of Physics, University of Sydney (Australia), published this month in the important Astrophysical Journal work of several years leading a team of researchers.
