Failed Flash explain the origin of dim supernova

A powerful supercomputer showed that the type of unusually faded stellar explosion can be recognized, in all probability, to the failed attempt to blow up a white dwarf.

A team of scientists led by George Jordan, researchers at Flash Center for Computational Science, University of Chicago, compared the unusually dim supernova type 1a supernovae with the normal of the same type. 

Stratospheric vortex effect on the deep sea

Modeling carried supercomputer showed that the stratospheric vortex affect the depth of the oceans and therefore play a role in shaping the Earth's climate, according to "Kompyulenta" referring to the publication in the journal Nature Geosciences.

Events in the stratosphere at an altitude of 10-50 km are reflected in what is happening in the troposphere below it. It is also known that the behavior of the troposphere affects the circulation of the oceans, which in turn determines the climate. One of the earlier studies hinted that the events in the stratosphere can directly affect the oceans, but the conclusion was based on only one climate model, which also covered a relatively short period of 260 years.
