Rapid star will test the theory of relativity

Astronomers have exposed a star that hits record speed, moving around the central black hole (BH) of our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per second and making a complete rotate in less than 12 years.

This discovery gives scientists a unique opportunity over the next decade to test the theory of relativity in extreme conditions.

Scientists have proposed to deal with space debris harpoon

British company Astrium UK proposed to deal with space debris in orbit with a special harpoon.

Debris called fragments of old spacecraft left Earth orbit. Currently, the Joint U.S. Strategic Command monitors 19 thousand objects in orbit, the size of which more than 10 centimeters. According to experts objects with a diameter greater than a centimeter in space on the order of magnitude - more than 600,000. Due to the high velocity (and, consequently, the high kinetic energy), even small pieces of apparatus can be hazardous to spacecraft.
