Space News is becoming hotter: NASA is going to use antimatter in space ships of the future.

Fusion reactions begin by antimatter particle beams may start to drive the ultra-high spacecraft sent on a long journey, by the middle of this century, the researchers said.

Ships from the fusion engine can reach Jupiter in 4 months, thus opening the way to the outer solar system, the human expeditions, according to a report by NASA in 2010

Verification a new supernova black hole

In space telescope NASA "Swift" fixed-ray flashes, indicating the discovery and the survival of a new black hole, which was previously unknown. It is located at 20-30 thousand light-years from Earth. Flash X-ray peak of the supernova occurred on September 18. Flash output is 10 thousand volts, but two days of observation exposed that the radiation has increased by 30 times.
