Finding the Sweet ALMA

Using the telescope ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), a group of astronomers identify sugar molecules present in the gas surrounding a young star similar to the sun. This is the first time it has been found that sugar in the space around a star of this kind.

This finding demonstrates that the essential essentials for life are in the right time and place to exist on planets that form around the star.

                                                                   

Astronomers found glycolaldehyde molecules (a simple sugar [1]) in the gas surrounding a young star called IRAS 16293-2422 young binary,

NGC 1929 in N44: A Surprisingly Bright Superbubble

NGC 1929 is a star cluster rooted in the nebula N44, Which is found in the Large Magellan Cloud.Massive stars in the cluster produces powerful radiation, expel matter at high speeds, and explode as supernovas Relatively Quickly. Winds from the massive stars and supernova shocks from carve out "superbubbles" in the gas seen in X-rays by Chandra (blue). Infrared data show dust (red) and cooler gas and optical light (yellow) Reveals where ultraviolet radiation is Causing the gas to glow.

This composite image shows a superbubble in the Large Magellan Cloud (LMC), a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located About 160.000 light years from Earth.

Plenty of dark matter near the Sun

Astronomers at the University of Zurich, the ETH Zurich, the University of Leicester and NAOC Beijing have originated large Amounts of invisible "dark matter" near the Sun. Their results are reliable With the Theory That the Milky Way Galaxy is surrounded by a massive "halo" of dark matter, but this is the first study of its kind to use a ridicule method rigorously tested against high quality data from simulations.

UCLA scientist discovers plate tectonics on Mars

Many scientists had thinking plate tectonics that survive nowhere but in our solar system on Earth. Now, a UCLA scientist has discovered that the geological phenomenon, Which Involves the movement of huge crustal plates beneath a planet's surface, also exists on Mars.

"Mars is at a primitive stage of plate tectonics. Gives us a glimpse It of how the Earth early May have looked and may help us understand how plate tectonics on Earth Began," said An Yin, a UCLA professor of Earth and space sciences and the sole author of the new research.

Explosion of galaxy formation lit up early universe

From the South Pole Telescope specify that the birth of the first massive galaxies that lit up the early universe was an explosive event, happening faster and sooner than suspected ending.

Extremely bright, active galaxies and fully illuminated formed the universe by the time it was 750 million years old, or about 13 billion years ago, According to Oliver Zahn, a postdoctoral fellow at the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics (BCCP) at the University of California, Berkeley, who led the data analysis.

Evaporating extrasolar planet does a lot of controversy

Dutch astronomers have found strong evidence see that a road falls apart standing exoplanet from. A New will analyze NASA's Kepler observations-Satellite planet shows that, in less give 16 hours to be running star, is covered in large amounts of dust from his planet surface loose. Result for accepted publication in astronomy & astrophysics.

Kepler looking to other nearby planets years to our stars give sun, called exoplanets.

X-Rays from Young Supernova Remnant Discovered

Astronomers have detected X-rays from the leftovers of a supernova that was first seen from Earth over 50 years ago. This supernova SN 1957D was call because it was the fourth one detected in the year 1957. Whilst detected in the radio and optical for decades, SN 1957D did not appear in previous X-ray images.
