A strange hot spot on a planet from outside our solar system


The Spitzer Space Telescope NASA has exposed a strange point of heat in a planet outside our solar system in the Andromeda group, 44 light years from the Earth. The planet, Upsilon Andromeda, is a massive such as 'hot Jupiters', named for its high temperatures and gas formation. The strange thing, the mystery that scientists cannot manage to explain, is that this extraordinary heat zone is located in a part of the planet in which there should be, away from exposure to the star, which contradicts all theories known.

The discovery of an exoplanet


A reacharger group of European astronomers has announced the discovery of an exoplanet particular. Is larger than Jupiter and may be gaseous, so it does not look like Earth. But what is its origin awareness. In fact, that distant world was not formed in our galaxy, but entered it, along with its star, about 9,000 million years. The finding is published this week in Science.
"The discovery is very exciting, says Rainer Klement, one of the authors of the study, for the first time, astronomers have detected a planetary system in a stellar group of extragalactic origin.

Next two satellites are prepared for launch


The next two satellites in the Galileo European navigation have been subjected to an aggressive vacuum conditions and extreme temperatures in preparation for launch, scheduled for September 28. The fourth satellite Galileo completed earlier this month 20 days of thermal vacuum tests on the location of Thales Alenia Space on the outskirts of Rome, Italy. The third had passed the same test a month earlier.
