The spectacular new image of the Helix nebula shows infrared colors

According to new observations from the Spritzer Space Telescope for NASA, a group of comets is disgraceful collide and kicking up dust around a dead star. The star is at the center of the much-photographed Helix nebula (Helix), a bright cloud of gas with an uncanny resemblance to a giant eye.

"We were surprised to see so much dust around this star," said Dr. Kate Su of the University of Arizona in Tucson, lead author of the article written about the results. The work will appear in the March 1 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters."The dust must be coming from comets that survived the death of their sun."

The galaxies were divided into three classes

The famous ethnologist and scientist Richard Dawkins is very likely that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but much rarer than we can go as far that simply presents us with the enormous grandeur of Cosmos and its almost infinite capacity to surprise us daily. 

In the few months of life that this young blog Astronomy we have been able to attend many surprises, but I assure you that today is one of the strangest. 

The rainbow of fire: An unusual atmospheric phenomenon

The Rainbow of Fire - flicker creative commons in different sections of science and Yahoo! have witnessed some certainly curious natural phenomena as the " tsunami of clouds "that occasionally occurs in some coastal areas such as Panama City in Florida, or the sea of waves that form over the Tide volcano on Tenerife, or even that perfect moment that the photographer managed to capture Tommy Eliassen in one image the Milky Way, the Northern Lights and the passage of a meteorite.

But today we bring is undoubtedly one of the most unusual weather phenomena and beautiful world. 

Rain of meteorites in the State of Maharashtra (India)

Rain of meteorites cause damage to several houses in the State of Maharashtra (India).Several houses were damaged as a result of a meteor shower in the region of Karol.

A team of scientists from the Centre for Astronomy Akash Ganga was launched from Bombay to move into the area, but failed to leave early because they had to wait for confirmation of their tickets. Scientists are expected to remain three days in the area to investigate this incident.

Earth Meteorite flies only 14 000 kilometers higher than the Earth's outside

Recently, a newly discovered meteorite, 2012 KT42, flew past Earth at only 14,000 miles above the surface of our planet, so flying within the belt of geosynchronous satellites.

According to the orbit of this asteroid, fortunately there was no danger of collision, despite its proximity to Earth.

Moreover, in any case, due to its small size would probably have disintegrated upon entering our atmosphere.

Higher than Earth Asteroid

The recent past, the asteroid 2012 KP24, flew past Earth at only a tenth of the distance of the Moon.

This asteroid, discovered recently, passed over our planet early on May 28, 2012, about 350,000 miles.

According to NASA, there was not any danger of collision with Earth, but it was an ideal time for many astronomers and amateurs, who missed the opportunity to photograph this large rock, estimated was about 26 meters.

New dynamic sunspot AR1492

Now that is turned facing the Earth, we must be alert to its explosion, by the time of class-C, which emit large amounts of plasma above the solar surface.So, the new sunspot AR1492 is very active. 

The Royal Observatory of Belgium plans to continue producing new C-class flares, and even supports the ability to register M-class explosions.

For now, Earth is under the influence of a solar wind of 400 kilometers per second, with a magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field of about 3 nT
