Record breaking flies from black hole

Quasars are very distant galaxies with extremely luminous core areas. Astronomers believe that massive black holes are the source of kvasarernes high energy show.

The supermassive black holes in quasars create such strong and very energy-rich effluents of material ejected and affect their surroundings. Astronomers have now found the most energetic outflows from a quasar ever.

Gigantic black hole surprise

Astronomers have discovered a giant black hole that is surprisingly heavy in relation to the galaxy hole live in. Super Heavy black holes in galaxies are typically several million times heavier than our Sun. But now, astronomers have found a black hole that is 17 billion times more massive than the Sun! The giant black hole at the heart of a galaxy called NGC the 1277th.

Three planets in a row

A unique mega-storm at the north pole of Saturn

Spacecraft Cassini recorded an incredible storm that engulfed the famous hexagon on the north pole of Saturn. The diameter of the storm more than 30,000 kilometers.

Unique video probe sent to Earth on November 27, according to NASA. He had previously recorded storm in the northern part of the planet, but only in the infrared, because it was dark.

As they note, the image of the swirling vortex "cause illusory sense of rotation" of Saturn. 

Astronomers suspected end of the world disappoint their entire daily

Astronomers believe that December 21, 2012 - the day that very mistrustful people waiting for the end of the world - will be the most common. According to them, the Sun will have no outbreaks, and will not even magnetic storms.

"Even the magnetic storms on that day will not be", - said the director of the Astronomical Observatory of Irkutsk State University Sergei Yazev.

According to him, Russian scientists from Irkutsk, Moscow and Novosibirsk watched a total solar eclipse on the northern coast of Australia.
