The Earth will not end in 2012

On December 31, the Gregorian calendar did something frightening. He spent the years 2011 to 2012. What we experience as the year came to an end? Earthquakes? Globally? A planetary collision? Stranger gravitational effects caused by an alignment with the galactic plane? Is the impact of a comet? 'Lighting' Earth?

As much as I wish it were true finally, it is likely that the New Year celebrations only involve a lot of alcohol and fireworks. It is the beginning of a new year for our calendar. Nothing more, nothing less.

Space reactors

The cooling system of a nuclear reactor with heat pipes can be used during space flight.

A group of researchers from LANL, NASA and NSTec (USA) established the use of heat pipes for cooling a small nuclear reactor that drives the Sterling engine. The system can be used as a dependable energy source for space vehicles.

The universe grows like a giant brain

The study, conducted by a team of scientists led by Dmitry Kryukov, a physicist from the University of California, San Diego, show that some as yet undiscovered, fundamental laws can control the growth of both small and large systems, from the transmission of nerve impulses between brain cells and the growth of social networks and to expanding galaxies.

Pluto's atmosphere was more than predictable

The new model, created by a group of scientists led by Justin Erwin, lead author of the study and a PhD from the University of Virginia, predicts that Pluto's atmosphere may reach nearly 10,390 miles into space, which is about 4.5 diameter of Pluto. This is more than half the distance from Pluto to Charon.

End of the world in December 2012, interviewed NASA scientists

Is December on the doorstep? Does this mean that awaits us last month of life on this planet, and whether a doomsday in 2012? We interviewed NASA scientists and their response surprised us. Read the article - it's interesting!

During the entire existence of mankind been countless theories about how our planet will cease to exist. 

Mars was found gutters on Phobos

The Martian satellite Phobos could be the result of contact with Phobos debris ejected from the craters of the Red Planet during its bombardment by space objects, a new study indicates.

To explain the nature of the mysterious troughs are abundantly present on the surface of Phobos, in 2011, a group of American scientist John Murray has been proposed, 

Astronomers, discovered a planet, 13 times greater than Jupiter

This finding sheds light on the formation of new planets. Mass of the new planet is 13 times greater than the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet of the solar and heavy systems. Previously, scientists doubt that the planet can be formed from a protoplanetary disk as massive stars, like Kappa Andromeda. To date, more than 800 planets discovered outside our solar system, but scientists have been able to photograph a few of them.
