Verification a new supernova black hole

In space telescope NASA "Swift" fixed-ray flashes, indicating the discovery and the survival of a new black hole, which was previously unknown. It is located at 20-30 thousand light-years from Earth. Flash X-ray peak of the supernova occurred on September 18. Flash output is 10 thousand volts, but two days of observation exposed that the radiation has increased by 30 times.

Russia is scheduling an active exploration of space by 2020

Roskosmos is ready to continue working in the "Phobos-Grunt", as the significance of the project is not yet lost, said Vladimir Popovkin. New satellite sent to Mars with all the mistakes when you first start. New project planned for 2016-2020.

Recall that the first start of the station "Phobos-Grunt" was launched on November 9, 2011, but due to problems in the propulsion system, the station remained in Earth orbit. 

Probe Voyager-1 crossed the solar system

On the eve of NASA representative’s statement that the spacecraft had afford evidence that the Voyager-1 is crossed the solar system. The intersection of the probe Voyager-1 edge of the solar system was the world and a new level of realization in the study of outer space.

The red giant, to learn the fate of our Sun

In space, astronomers found a red giant, around which formed a three-dimensional spiral out of gas. R Sculptors dying star is 1.5 thousand light-years from Earth. Red giant looked through the telescope ALMA in Chile.

Red giants are the latest stage in the evolution of stars. At this stage the star expand and add to its mass, then the mass of stars scattered into space by stellar winds, spreading the substance of the universe, which is necessary for the formation of new stars. After 10-50 thousand years in the red giant burns helium, which is why there is a powerful release of gas that lasts for hundreds of years?

The first image a distant galaxy nucleus

Scientists working with the Russian radio telescope "Spektr-R" ("Radioastron"), published the first image of the nucleus of the galaxy 714 0716, made ​​the device.

The photograph was taken in March 2012, during a joint operation "Spektr-R" with the European Network VLBI. "Shooting" lasted about 24 hours. In this framework the resulting interferometer ranged from 20 to 7 the earth's diameter, which resulted in high resolution.

Planets are born within the protoplanetary disk

WASHINGTON, October 10. The observed star with massive curved arms can be an incubator for the planets, the researchers found.

In 2011, astronomers using the Subaru Telescope have discovered a massive star with curved arms 22 billion miles in diameter, which is 2 times the orbit of Pluto. Star SAO 206462 was designated. Strange spiral structure, which is observed in this star, usually characterized by the galaxies, not stars, writes InFuture. 

Songs of the Big Bang

It is known that the universe after the Big Bang has undergone swift increase, during which its volume increased to a staggering 80-degree! Universe and then continued its extension, but the recent increase in size was accelerated, resulting in a region of the universal signal extended outside.

For "writing" a detailed history of the expansion in the boss method, called "baryon acoustic oscillations-oscillations" (BAO). Physicists call ordinary baryons and all the usual matter.
