Scientists have disprove most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ

Most theological historians, Christian and non-Christian, believe that Jesus was actually walked the Earth. However, scientists using the latest technology could disprove all the most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ. In particular, the legendary Shroud of Turin, which would be buried Jesus, in fact, has imprints of the body. However, from a scientific point of view it is a fake. Radiocarbon scan revealed that she comes from the times of the 14th century, writes Raut.ru.

Another irrefutable proof that Jesus was crucified: splinters from the cross. 


NASA Spacecraft Photographs Pluto's Largest Moon Charon

A NASA spacecraft bound for Pluto has captured its first photo of the dwarf planet's largest moon Charon, a cosmic snapshot snapped from nearly 550 million miles away.

The new Charon photo was taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which is closing in on Pluto and due to fly by the icy world in July 2015. The black-and-white image shows Charon as a dim object that is near, but clearly separate from, the brighter object that is Pluto.

Discovery of a planet with the mass of Saturn

The detection of discrete mass planets located at distances solar systems continues to garner notable achievements. And these do not feed only technological advances but also the ingenuity of new generations of scientists who apply innovative ways to process the data obtained in observations, with which they can detect celestial objects that would otherwise go unnoticed.

This is the case of Karen Collins, one electrical engineer whose fascination for astronomy long finished taking her to this second career. 

The super telescope ALMA located a giant star embryo

The telescope Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, has got the best view so far achieved a huge star in the Milky Way, which has 500 times the mass of the Sun in the formation process within a dark cloud.

The embryonic star inside the cloud hungrily devours the material falling inward. It is believed that the cloud will give birth to a very bright star over 100 times the mass of the Sun, according to reports Dicyt .

Detected radio Bursts of light sources of our galaxy

Astronomers, including members of the team NASA" s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., found the first availability of radio bursts, we know that they come from galaxies outside our own Milky Way. Bursts of light sources are unknown, but they are similar to those which happen during catastrophic events, or the like - a merger or an explosion of stars, and the like - triggers.

Detection of DNA in space

If there is life on Mars, it's not so far-fetched to believe that the Martian life may have in common genetic roots of life on Earth.  More than 3.5 billion years ago, a lot of space meteors ricocheted around the solar system, passing the same between the two young planets. This galactic game of ping-pong left its traces on the Earth and on Mars, maybe then creates a common genetic foundation between the two planets.

Evidence of the new planets?

New calculations show that a sufficient concentration of gas in the disk around a young star can lead to the process of coalescence of space dust, forming a ring, and creating ways that resemble those formed in the process of neoplasm’s.

Gravity pulls the cosmic dust and debris of stones. After they were together in small groups gather even more space stuff and so they travel,

At the tail of the heliosphere found surprising image

Unique data obtained from studies of the Sun, will help scientists to replenish the treasury of our knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere and climate. June 30 was the second occasion in the history of space exploration, when the International Space Station has changed his position to assist in the new study, giving astronomers a chance continuous review of our star.

Oceanography satellite Jason-1 makes his final bow

The world superstar oceanography satellite, spacecraft, served for a total of 11.5 years. A joint project of NASA and the center of Centre National d "Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the satellite to study sea level Jason-1 was retired this week after losing their last remaining the satellite transmitter.

Launched in December 2001, initially with a planned service life of 3 to 5 years, Jason-1 has helped to create a huge database on the topography of the oceans for the 20-year period

Scientists are working on the protection of terrestrial energy systems from solar storms

Ground-based tools allow scientists to obtain new information about solar eruptions that threaten life on Earth.

Experts of the British geological survey (BGS) began collecting data from three research stations in the UK to assess the influence of powerful solar storms on our planet's power grid.

Although coronal mass ejections - giant solar eruptions of hot plasma - is extremely difficult to predict, but scientists are trying to explore the possibilities of the most effective protection of terrestrial power systems from overloads associated with extreme manifestations of space weather.
