The database project in space

NASA is going to throw astronauts to the libration point of the Earth-Moon system, thus developing the idea of going beyond low-Earth orbit, already moderately alive in the spacecraft "Orion".

NASA scientists want, based on the experience of international cooperation in the ISS project, to place equipment and astronauts to the second Lagrange point (L2) of the Earth-Moon system.

The victim of a supernova explosion

Scientists are trying to way down the star, which died in the explosion of a supernova that transpires in the past year.

The outbreak of the star was found May 31, 2011 in a rather famous Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), which lies at a distance of 23 million light years from our own Milky Way galaxy. Supernova explosions occur when the supply of fuel massive stars, stellar, completing the life cycle comes to an end, and the stars begin to collapse, turning eventually into a neutron star or black hole.

The shore of an ancient Martian water channel

The rover Curiosity found some extraordinary features on the surface of the Red Planet that have a strong similarity to the shores of the land waterways.

For example, today's image shows the small ledge of rock that most likely formed by water erosion circulating underneath. The outgoing texture appears to be a sedimentary conglomerate, ie dried debris numerous smaller rocks that stuck together.
