Snow on a very early our solar system

For the first time obtained an image of a line in a remote snow extremely young planetary system. The snow line, located in the disk surrounding the solar-type star TW Hydrae, promises to reveal more about the formation of planets and comets, the factors that influence their composition and history of our Solar System. The results are published today in the journal Science Express.

Hubble Shows Link between Stars' Ages and Their Orbits in Dense Cluster

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have for the first time two distinct linked Populations of stars in an ancient globular star cluster to their uniqueness orbital dynamics, offering Proof that the stars do not share the same birth date.

Hubble telescope has found the impossible planet

Scientists are puzzled by the new discovery that could make using the space telescope Hubble. They found outside our solar system planet, the conditions of origin of which modern science can not yet explain. The report is published on the website of the Institute Space Telescope. Cosmic body surprising origin was discovered during monitoring situated at a distance of 176 light-years from Earth, the star TW Hydra. Heavenly body, which exoplanet, is removed from the star is 12 billion kilometers, reports the publication .

Suspended a spacewalk after finding fluid in the spacesuit

"The decision to suspend the walk, as European astronaut Luca appeared Parmitano water in diving," said Solovyov told Interfax.

The "fluid leakage" occurred when Parmitano and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy performing repair and maintenance tasks outside the orbital outpost.

"After that the U.S. took the decision on the urgent return of the astronauts aboard the ISS," said Anna Vedisheva, spokesman for the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

Solving a mystery than 3,500 million years

Scientists cannot know for sure if there is life in space outside the Earth, but new research by a team of scientists led by an astrobiologist at the University of South Florida (USF) shows that one of the key elements that produced life on Earth was brought to Earth by meteorites.

NASA Moon Probe Helps Pin Down Off-Planet Driving Record

A 1970s Soviet rover did indeed travel about 3 miles farther on the surface of the moon than originally thought, meaning that any robot hoping to break its off-world distance record will have to run a full marathon, researchers say.

The remote-controlled Lunokhod 2 moon rover was long thought to have traveled 23 miles (37 kilometers) on the lunar surface back in 1973. But a Russian team recently upped the estimate to 26 miles (42 kilometers), using images snapped by NASA's sharp-eyed Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

5 scientific theories about what aliens might look like Jellyfish? Bugs? Or just like you?

We've seen them portrayed in a vast variety of Hollywood films, from the nasty, slimy suckers shown in Independence Day to the precious, teddy-bear-esque creature that charmed us in E.T. But which is closer to the truth? As our understanding of the universe grows and the outlook on our existence is in turn humbled, scientists are beginning to theorize what these extraterrestrials might look like.
