Distant star ingest a planet the size of Jupiter


Sized planet about 1.4 times larger than Jupiter is captivated by its own star for a solid veil of gas, according to new observations made ​​space telescope "Hubble".

The planet WASP-b is a gas giant, spinning dangerously close to its parent star so that its evaporation created a dense cloud of gas that does not pass light. 

Failed Flash explain the origin of dim supernova


A powerful supercomputer showed that the type of unusually faded stellar explosion can be recognized, in all probability, to the failed attempt to blow up a white dwarf.

A team of scientists led by George Jordan, researchers at Flash Center for Computational Science, University of Chicago, compared the unusually dim supernova type 1a supernovae with the normal of the same type. 

Mars and Earth were shaped from the same structure blocks


A team of Carnegie investigated hydrogen liquefy in water from the Martian subsurface, and found that Mars was formed from the same structure blocks as the Earth, and the changes in the chemical composition of the planet began to occur in the course of its subsequent evolution. This indicates that the terrestrial planets, including Earth, the same source of water - chondritic meteorites. However, unlike our planet, Mars rocks, which contain volatile components such as water, can be processed deep in the bowels of the planet.
