Solve the mystery of the magnetic anomalies asteroid Oljato

Asteroid 2201 Oljato moving surrounded by the orbit of Venus shows a slightly extraordinary behavior. Past observations point to the associated magnetic phenomena, but new data from the unit Venus Express, show that the magnetic anomaly is suddenly no longer appear.

Team member mission Venus Express Dr. Christopher Russell explains the behavior of asteroid Oljato follows:

Vesta may be a tiny planet

Deep melancholy surrounding the asteroid Vesta, may indicate that the message has a complex structure, a characteristic not of asteroids, and to the planets, according to a new study.

Researchers led by Debra Butskovski (Debra Buczkowski) Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland, noted that grooves that extend to the surface of Vesta, are no cracks in the form of the letter V, which are usually formed on the surfaces of asteroids in the result their collision with other space objects, and so-called grabens - areas of the cortex, which fell on the level of the rest of the surface tectonic fault lines, so that the form of education closer to the letter U. 

Get the most accurate picture of Pluto, made with Earth

The planet, dwarf planet or Kuiper Belt objects, so what's the difference? The main thing that astronomers the most detailed picture to date of Pluto ever do with ground-based observations.

And that's how they got it:

They did a series of pictures of Pluto and Charon, using a newly developed camera called Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI), which is mounted on an 8-meter telescope of the Gemini North, located in Hawaii.
