The new solar panel with 3-D texture

The untested solar panel with 3-D texture to be soon installed outside the International Space position (ISS), where they every day will know-how at 16, Sunrise, thus transitory the test procedure in rough environments.

As the ISS orbits the soil at a rate of about one transformation per hour and a half, 

Saturn's rings are drop on the surface of the planet rain

Astronomers have known for many years that the top of Saturn's atmosphere is water, but they could not pinpoint the location of the source of this water. Now, new observations have revealed that the water is poured rain on the surface of Saturn and its source - the famous rings of the giant planet.

"Saturn - is the first planet that demonstrates an active interaction between the atmosphere and ring system - said James O'Donoghue, a researcher from the University of Leicester and author of a new paper published in the journal Nature. 

Sofia telescope reveals the mechanism of formation of massive stars

Researchers from the Stratospheric Observatory Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), made ​​the incredibly detailed images of a massive star, immersed in a dense cocoon of dust and gas.

This star is called G35.20-0.74, or simply G35. It is one of the most massive protostar known to scientists, and is located relatively close to Earth - at a space of 8,000 light years.

A new method of analysis will allow a census of quasars

Over the past six decades have passed since the time when the first quasars were discovered that the list of high-galaxies with their fixture - a black hole at the galactic center filled with more than 100,000 objects.

However, attempts to produce a thorough census of powerful radiation sources have so far been restricted to one fundamental problem. The fact that extreme brightness of quasars, allowing them to see from a great distance, at the same time playing on them, 

ALMA telescope expose ancient galaxies at record speed

The team of astronomers used the new telescope ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), to discover the location of more than a hundred galaxies with the most active star formation in the early universe. ALMA telescope is so powerful that just a few hours, he made ​​many observations of distant galaxies, as has been done like all other telescopes around the world for more than a decade.

At a go off star discovered disk of debris and dust

Herschel Space Observatory of the European Space Agency released the first pictures of the belt of dust - formed as a result of collisions of asteroids or comets - orbiting star-subgiant, which is located around the planetary system.

After a few billion years, during which the stars stably maintained hydrogen is burning stars like our sun, draining internal resources and

Astronomers have cataloged galaxy collisions

Collisions between galaxies, it is a fairly common phenomenon. Almost all of the galaxies involved in one or More collisions during its existence. One example can provide as our Milky Way galaxy, is sent to the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor, at about 50 kilometers per second to run into her in about a billion years.

A group of researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics used the results of the latest observations of 31 interacting galaxies located in fourteen systems to carry out the first systematic analysis of the distribution of energy in the interacting galaxies over a wide spectral range.
