Researchers observe volcanoes of Io from Earth


Using a amalgamation of surveys conducted by ground-based telescopes, and the data from the archives, the research team has collected about 40 pictures of volcanic explosion that took place at the geologically active throughout our solar system object - Jupiter's moon Io.

Quasar J1148 +5251, scientists have discovered around stars


See the sights distant quasar J1148 +5251, scientists have discovered around stars, although it was unspecified that in order to achieve its massive group of three billion solar masses of quasar need to consume large quantities of stars in each year for several hundred million years.

The answer has not yet been found, but after observing in the near infrared wide-angle camera number three NASA space telescope "Hubble", the scientists were able to put forward the assumption about the nature of the mysterious disappearance of the stars of the galaxy surrounding the quasar.

Whether to build a base on the moon


The researchers presented their plans to build vneplanetnoy laboratory to determine whether it is probable to build a base for people on the moon or Mars.

The scientists from the Open University developed the conception of the tool Lunar Volatile Resources Analysis Package (L-VRAP), which will determine whether the amount of water on the moon and fuel, enough to be useful to build on it in the future scientific bases. The researchers also say that the project can be used to study the prospects of building bases on Mars.
