Is this evidence of life on Mars?


Curiosity is expected, the rover is currently traveling to Mars, make a dramatic landing in the crater Gale to mid-August and begin your search for geological signatures of a watery past and friendly to life on this planet. The evidence strong that at some point there were large volumes of water on Mars would be an important step in the search for life on the Red Planet. But ... Have you already been found?

STARDUST



The mystery of how dying stars eject the material to form new planets has occupied scientists for decades. A team of astronomers from Europe and Australia managed to decipher the enigma now. We know that stars like the Sun launched into space much of its mass toward the end of his life, but it was unclear how these particles fail off. The researchers used the powerful tools of VLT European Space Agency (Very Large Telescope and Very Large Telescope), located in the Atacama Desert,

TIME MACHINE


A time machine will study the origin of the Universe. A spectrometer designed by astronomers at the University Of California (USA) will allow scientists to study the first galaxies that formed in the Universe. This kind of time machine called MOSFIRE and is able to condense the light in the infrared wavelengths, allowing you to cross the cosmic dust and see very distant objects. "When we look at very distant galaxies, we do not see as they are now, but as they were when light left them. That light is now coming here," says Ian S. McLean, director of the project. "Some of the galaxies that we studied were formed 10 billion years ago.
