Planets are born within the protoplanetary disk

WASHINGTON, October 10. The observed star with massive curved arms can be an incubator for the planets, the researchers found.

Songs of the Big Bang

It is known that the universe after the Big Bang has undergone swift increase, during which its volume increased to a staggering 80-degree! Universe and then continued its extension, but the recent increase in size was accelerated, resulting in a region of the universal signal extended outside.

For "writing" a detailed history of the expansion in the boss method, called "baryon acoustic oscillations-oscillations" (BAO). Physicists call ordinary baryons and all the usual matter.
