The University of Valencia (Spain) apply-optical technology so far only used in astronomy to study images of the universe in order to avoid the development of myopia, considered the most common eye disease worldwide.

Robert Montes Mico, Professor of Optics, has achieved one of the prestigious projects of the European Research Council, awarded to senior researchers worldwide with a budget of a million and a half Euros, to study for five years promoting signals processes that generate myopia.

The Pencil Nebula a celestial broom

Pencil Nebula Shown is a new image of the La Silla Observatory in Chile. curious cloud of glowing This gas is hand of a giant ring of residues, Remains of a supernova explosion That Took up there are about 11 000 years. Detailed view this was conducted by the WFI (Wide Field Imager) on the telescope MPG / ESO 2.2-meter.

Another flash on Jupiter

Amateur astronomers dotted a brief fracture have of light along the eastern limb of Jupiter. Now we must wait to see if the planet bears a scar from the impact site.

This is the perfect time to observe Jupiter. Shines brightly Queen planets in the night sky - That means clustering and a lot of eyes and cameras are turned on it every night since about midnight Until Dawn. HAS paid all this early in the morning of September 10, when two amateur astronomers have captured a spectacular goal brief lightning in the middle of Jupiter near icts eastern limb.

Mars formed by the action of liquid water

Discovered in 2005, the clays in the southern hemisphere of Mars are often considered as a proof of the survival of liquid water on the Red Planet at a very early period of between 4.5 and 4 billion years. But the work of a Franco-American team led by researchers at the Institute of Chemistry of materials and environments Poitiers (CNRS / University de Poitiers) [1] questioned this interpretation. In an article to be published on September 9 on the website of the journal Nature Geosciences, they show that these clays are likely to be of magmatic origin. The many similarities between the Martian clays and those of volcanic origin collected on the Murrow atoll support their hypothesis.

The Odd Couple of galaxies in space travel

Two very different galaxies drift through space at the same time in this image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The curious pair of galaxies Arp 116 is called. Arp 116 is composed of a giant elliptical galaxy known as Messier 60 (or M60) and a much smaller spiral galaxy, NGC 4647. The spiral galaxy NGC 4647 light blue is about two-thirds of M60 in size and much lower mass - about the size of our galaxy, the Milky Way.

The crater Hadley gives a deep insight of the geology of Mars

Recently unavailable in supporting the successful landing of the Curiosity rover of the Mars Science Laboratory, NASA, ESA's Mars Express has now returned to its primary mission to study the varied geology and atmosphere "Red Planet" from orbit.

Earlier this year, the spacecraft observed the Hadley crater 120 km wide,
