Astronomers studying the "jet stream" age in two million years


Two million light-years from the center of a distant galaxy trail make bigger, surprisingly suggestive of a jet stream that reserve military fighter jet engine only in this case is a black hole, and the substance of the jet is moving at a speed close to the speed of light.

The new image of the jet which has been studied previously designated as PKS 0637-752, showing alternating light and dark areas on it, similar to the phenomenon in jet fighter jets, called "diamond condensation".

Two asteroid Apophis, threaten Earth


Two other large asteroids in orbits that may have to change to avoid a collision signify a threat to Earth. To avoid the risk, need inoculation capacity of about 70 tons, which will display the trajectory of the asteroid interrupt spacecraft that can change its trajectory.

Besides Apophis threats to Earth are two more large asteroids in orbits that may have to change to avoid a collision, the president said the Rocket and Space Corporation "Energia" Vitaly Lopota.

Titan was formed, merger of smaller satellites of Saturn?


By hypothesis, Professor Eric Asfauga Planetology (Erik Asphaug), Saturn's largest moon was formed as a outcome of the merger of smaller satellites.

October 19 at the annual conference in Reno (Nevada, USA), Professor of Planetary Science at the University of California (Santa Cruz) introduced his new hypothesis that the largest moon of Saturn - Titan, was formed during a merger of at least half a dozen smaller Saturnine satellites.

Mysterious dark matter extermination in the depths of space


Astrophysics, studying gamma radiation coming from the areas close to the center of the galaxy, found traces of the extermination of dark matter particles. Dark matter - a strange substance, which until now no one has touched.

The existence of dark matter so far confirmed only indirectly. 

The planet, which is a third of the diamonds


At a distance of 40 light years from Earth is a planet that orbits a star and is about a third of their diamonds. These termination astronomers from the U.S. and France, the main provisions of which have been published in the latest issue of the specialized publication "Astrophysical Journal", published in Chicago by the American Astronomical Society, reports UNN.

Canada has produced a prototype for future Mars rovers


Canadian designers are developing now several models of robots on wheels, to help astronauts learn the satellite of the Earth and other planets in our solar system. "Much of the work on the Moon and Mars will be related to the study of geology and drilling," - said Leclerc, adding that Canada is just in the technology of mining and mining has gained a lot of experience.

"The U.S. space agency - NASA has already shown interest in our prototype, offering complete them for a particular space missions, "- he said.

Moon was once part of the Earth!


Scientists have make available new indication that the moon was once part of our planet, but billions of years ago, "broke away" from it in a collision with another celestial body.

Now that planetary scientists to understand where there is water on the natural satellite of our planet, all the scholarly attention has focused on the more fundamental question: how, after all, come from the moon itself? And how is it that she seemed bound rotated in space in tune with the Earth?
