Student Team Set for Zero-Gravity Fire Experiment on NASA 'Vomit Comet'

A team of university students is counting down toward the ultimate science ride, a weightless flight aboard a modified NASA jet to see just how certain fires burn in zero gravity.

The experiment, led by engineering undergraduate Sam Avery of the University of California, San Diego, is aimed at testing how biofuels burn in weightless conditions. And with a target flight date of Thursday (July 18), Avery and his crew are getting pumped.

Kepler Spacecraft Should Pin Down 'Alien Earth' Planets Despite Glitch

NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft should be able to achieve its primary mission goal regardless of whether or not it can bounce back from a recent malfunction, researchers say.

Kepler launched in March 2009 on a 3.5-year prime mission to determine how common Earth-like planets are throughout the Milky Way galaxy. 

Scientists are confused about topic of Global Warming

Scientists are confused about the predictions of the apocalypse while some experts promise to hide the carbon dioxide into the ground, the other frightening collapse of the power system topic of global warming and the related phenomenon of threats continues to occupy the minds of scientists, with no time to receive one prediction, 

6 amazing facts about black holes

This is what happens when the universe divides by zero. They arise when the reality shows a critical error: too much material in one place the power of its own gravity and spoils the substance, and the place in which it is located. Usually gravity in our universe is playing the role of a caring older brother who always preterit for younger scattered toys. But in the case of black holes, gravity becomes downright Al Capone, which first convened a meeting the entire fundamental laws of life, and then arranges a real meat grinder with their participation. 

End of the Universe can happen at any time

Last year, the Large Hadron Collider has been defined mass "God particle" - the Higgs boson. Its importance was such that can turn all preconceived ideas about the "strength" of our world - the end of the universe can come at any moment, and the source of the death of the universe may appear at any point. Traditionally, the end of the universe, scientists "suggested" three basic scenarios . And they were all tied to the properties of dark energy - a hypothetical phenomenon through which modern physics explains why our universe is expanding with acceleration. 

Scientists have disprove most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ

Most theological historians, Christian and non-Christian, believe that Jesus was actually walked the Earth. However, scientists using the latest technology could disprove all the most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ. In particular, the legendary Shroud of Turin, which would be buried Jesus, in fact, has imprints of the body. However, from a scientific point of view it is a fake. Radiocarbon scan revealed that she comes from the times of the 14th century, writes Raut.ru.

Another irrefutable proof that Jesus was crucified: splinters from the cross. 

NASA Spacecraft Photographs Pluto's Largest Moon Charon

A NASA spacecraft bound for Pluto has captured its first photo of the dwarf planet's largest moon Charon, a cosmic snapshot snapped from nearly 550 million miles away.

The new Charon photo was taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which is closing in on Pluto and due to fly by the icy world in July 2015. The black-and-white image shows Charon as a dim object that is near, but clearly separate from, the brighter object that is Pluto.
