Scientists have resolute the age of Saturn's rings

Saturn's rings are almost the same age of the Sun. The wrapping up was made ​​by the American astrophysicist new photographs, sent to Earth the spacecraft Cassini.

After analyzing the data collected by the probe, the researchers came to the conclusion that water ice, from which mainly consist of the ring and, 

Curiosity was hiding behind the sun

Contact Curiosity rover NASA employees will only be able to early May. At the moment communication with the device is approximately completely lost. It can transmit signals only a "yes" or "no", which would specify it is working.

Scientists confirm that there is life on Mars

The world-famous mini-lab Curiosity has not once sends attractive data from Mars. This planet is so interesting to scientists and the average person that the evidence for the existence of life on it is looking forward to many countries. The rover in recent times confirmed that there is life on Mars, but very deep.

The main mission of the existence of life on Mars:  The rover collects data on the climate and geology of the planet. As told WellNews.ru, Curiosity can not 100% prove or disprove the fact of the possible existence of life on Mars, but recent data from using it, you can add on to the evidence of these assumptions.

Pencil Nebula

This magnificent picture thin, like a carefully woven threads, give the feeling that on the object labored diligent hand, workman. We have previously presented pictures Pencil Nebula, made ​​with the Space Telescope in Chile. Now propose to look at a photo taken by an amateur astronomer.

Martin Pugh took this picture Pencil Nebula or NGC 2736, at home in New South Wales, Australia.

Awaiting the next "doomsday" left in '93

Russian amateur astronomers have found in space potentially dangerous asteroid 2012 YQ1. This unique detection they made ​​to remotely control a remote observatory "Helen" in the Chilean Atacama Desert, where there is also a complex 8-meter VLT telescopes of the European Southern Observatory.

Given that "Elena" is one of the most advanced telescopes in use today, the likelihood that the researchers are wrong is extremely low. 

Secrets of icy Dione

Scientists find out some of the secrets of the fourth moon of Saturn. Dione is the fourth largest natural satellite of Saturn. Dione was release the famous Italian astronomer Giovanni Cassini in 1684. However, officially its current name the given satellite of has received only in 1847. Its diameter is 1 123.4 kilometers. This Saturnine satellite of consists predominantly of water ice with considerable admixture of stone breeds of in internal layers of. Scientists have made a similar postulation proceeding from the density of Dione.

The mystery of spiral galaxies and their mysterious sleeves

Astronomers have discovered the largest recognized spiral galaxies and they have identified the "skeleton" of the Milky Way. Our own Milky Way, most likely, is a spiral galaxy. Indeed, our solar system and the Earth are somewhere close to one of his whiskers, pulled back the sleeves.

And almost 70% of the galaxies closest to the Milky Way are a spiral. But despite their general morphology of galaxies, such as our form and retain their characteristic features, which remains a puzzle in astrophysics. Are their sleeves in spiral galaxies? Whether they can appear and disappear over time?
