The third brightest supernova discovered in the spiral galaxy M74

M74 is a classic spiral galaxy with arms that rotate their bright shimmering light, the stars with very dense cores. The galaxy is at a distance of 32 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pisces. M74 contains about 100 billion stars. The spiral arms are dotted with dense star clusters and pink clouds of fluorescing hydrogen gas.

NASA selects the 8 best research proposals

NASA will fund the program for which you will be competitively selected eight-developed proposals for research on how complex fluids and macromolecules behave in microgravity. Experiments in this research will be conducted aboard the International Space Station.

These experiments and research should be the basis on which NASA scientists and engineers will need to find solution to the problems facing man in space, 

Super-dense neutron stars and their secrets

Scientists have new clue to the strange operation of neutron stars - these objects are so dense that they compress the mass of several suns in the space of less than a terrestrial city.

Neutron stars are born when a massive star runs out of fuel for nuclear fusion and decay. They cast off its outer layers, and their nuclei are compressed by gravity and become denser and denser.
