A new method of analysis will allow a census of quasars


Over the past six decades have passed since the time when the first quasars were discovered that the list of high-galaxies with their fixture - a black hole at the galactic center filled with more than 100,000 objects.

However, attempts to produce a thorough census of powerful radiation sources have so far been restricted to one fundamental problem. The fact that extreme brightness of quasars, allowing them to see from a great distance, at the same time playing on them,

ALMA telescope expose ancient galaxies at record speed


The team of astronomers used the new telescope ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), to discover the location of more than a hundred galaxies with the most active star formation in the early universe. ALMA telescope is so powerful that just a few hours, he made ​​many observations of distant galaxies, as has been done like all other telescopes around the world for more than a decade.

At a go off star discovered disk of debris and dust


Herschel Space Observatory of the European Space Agency released the first pictures of the belt of dust - formed as a result of collisions of asteroids or comets - orbiting star-subgiant, which is located around the planetary system.

After a few billion years, during which the stars stably maintained hydrogen is burning stars like our sun, draining internal resources and

Astronomers have cataloged galaxy collisions


Collisions between galaxies, it is a fairly common phenomenon. Almost all of the galaxies involved in one or More collisions during its existence. One example can provide as our Milky Way galaxy, is sent to the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor, at about 50 kilometers per second to run into her in about a billion years.

A group of researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics used the results of the latest observations of 31 interacting galaxies located in fourteen systems to carry out the first systematic analysis of the distribution of energy in the interacting galaxies over a wide spectral range.

Scientists have resolute the age of Saturn's rings


Saturn's rings are almost the same age of the Sun. The wrapping up was made ​​by the American astrophysicist new photographs, sent to Earth the spacecraft Cassini.

After analyzing the data collected by the probe, the researchers came to the conclusion that water ice, from which mainly consist of the ring and, 

Curiosity was hiding behind the sun


Contact Curiosity rover NASA employees will only be able to early May. At the moment communication with the device is approximately completely lost. It can transmit signals only a "yes" or "no", which would specify it is working.

Scientists confirm that there is life on Mars


The world-famous mini-lab Curiosity has not once sends attractive data from Mars. This planet is so interesting to scientists and the average person that the evidence for the existence of life on it is looking forward to many countries. The rover in recent times confirmed that there is life on Mars, but very deep.

The main mission of the existence of life on Mars:  The rover collects data on the climate and geology of the planet. As told WellNews.ru, Curiosity can not 100% prove or disprove the fact of the possible existence of life on Mars, but recent data from using it, you can add on to the evidence of these assumptions.
