What occur to the very first stars in the universe?


Most distant and bright supernova, known to scientists today, probably happens in the explosions when the universe was much younger - just after the Big Bang.

What both these unusually bright and slowly fading. These properties are consistent with what is known as a supernova with the pair instability, a rare explosion mechanism, which is expected to occur with massive stars, is substantially free of metals. 

Three star charts on exoplanets


In these three celestial star charts grouped all available information about exoplanets currently available. Each of them should be extended to enlarge:

1. This letter highlights the sky where the stars have been detected potentially habitable exoplanet. Each is represented by corresponding brightness.

The presence of massive extrasolar planets around star Fomalhaut


Nearest star Fomalhaut has a massive exoplanet, reported NASA scientists after the second study using space telescope "Hubble".

Back in 2008, astronomers announced that they had discovered a planet called Fomalhaut B and shrouded in dust orbiting star Fomalhaut at a distance of 25 light years from Earth.
