A supernova explosion effect weighing 100 Earth masses radioactive titanium

According to scientists, a single supernova explosion in the surrounding area can be radioactive titanium, the total weight of which can exceed 100 times the mass of our planet.

These new data, to dispose of the radioactive substance during a supernova explosion, it may give an explanation of the mysterious processes occurring inside stars just before they are followed by a catastrophic explosion and the release of elements from which the universe is almost everything, from the stars and planets and ending human .

Nuclear NASA telescopes can see gravitational waves

This advanced technology is developed in the field of measurement, at the atomic level, the degree of change in ambient gravity , as well as for the detection of gravitational waves - ripples sort of space-time, which is caused by various events, including the Big Bang. According to the general theory of relativity, Albert Einstein created; gravitational waves are provided when massive cosmic bodies, during its motion, break the fabric of space and time. 

Irregular galaxies tend to become disks

​​Through the use of Hubble and Keck telescopes, astronomers have come to a rather startling conclusion about the nature, which is the process of change in the "blue" galaxies. Specifically, it relates to a process of change that takes place in these galaxies has for now as eight billion years - in other words, for the period, which is more than half the age of the universe.

Until now, it was assumed that the disk-shaped galaxy with a classic for these galaxies form, appeared in the universe, in its present form, about 8 billion years ago, and only slightly changed in all that time. 

Vatican astronomer believes in life beyond Earth

Vatican priest-astronomer believes in the survival of extraterrestrial galaxy. The possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth is regularly discuss at a conference held at the initiative of the Catholic Church. Director of the Vatican Observatory, the Jesuit priest Jose Funes does not exclude the existence of life beyond Earth. "Up to now we have not found any evidence that there is extraterrestrial life" - said the astronomer.

The Pipe Nebula

East of Antares and towards the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, there are dark spots that extend over fields full of stars.

Cataloged in the early twentieth century by astronomer EE Barnard, these dark interstellar dust clouds include B59, B72, B77 and B78, which are seen in silhouette against the starry background.

European-Russian mission ExoMars in 2016 and 2018

The administration of the National Hot Air and Space USA (NASA) had to discard collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) ExoMars expedition due to budget cuts; it seemed that the mission now will never be started. However, ESA continued to aggressively seek out potential partners and recently announced a proposed agreement with the Russian Space Agency, under which the Federal Space Agency shall provide two rockets to send spacecraft European-Russian mission ExoMars in 2016 and 2018.

Curiosity made a great discovery?

Team Mission Mars Science Laboratory implied that they have some important news that they will be ready to share soon. But, like all serious scientists, they are awaiting confirmation of their results before say something specific. In an interview with the American radio station National Public Radio (NPR) science mission chief John Graettinger said that a sample of Martian soil, studied recently with the tool SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars) rover Curiosity, showed something "stunning ('earthshaking').
