Loops cold could help solve the mystery of the solar corona


The surface of the Sun is a very cold place. When compare it with the crown, the upper atmosphere of the Sun, which is almost 400 times hotter. This large temperature difference has long been a mystery, but a newly discovered feature in the Sun's magnetic field could help us get to the bottom of it.

The Sun's magnetic field tangled includes huge loops forming an arc from the surface to the crown. We can see the bright loops because the surface plasma flows along its curves.

NASA discovers two planets around a star cluster


U.S. scientists have found indication for the first time that there are planets that can form and survive around stars similar to the sun regardless of forming part of dense clusters of stars, NASA announced.

Astronomers discovered two orbits similar to Jupiter in the Beehive Cluster, a group of about 1,000 stars that seem to swarm around a common center.

"This has been a great puzzle for planet hunters," said Sam Quinn, a doctoral student in Astronomy at Georgia State University in Atlanta, and author of the paper describing the results.

Kemble's Cascade


Kemble's Cascade is an asterism containing about 20 stars, of magnitudes between 5 and 10, and associated, extending a distance of more than five times the full moon. At the end of the cascade, as if it were a stellar lake, we can find the open cluster NGC 1502.

An asterism is a recognized set of stars that appear to form a figure but not one of the 88 official constellations. For example, one of the most famous asterisms is The Chariot located in the constellation Ursa Major. For Kemble's Cascade, this is located in the constellation of the Giraffe and is easily visible with binoculars.

The ashes of astronaut Neil Armstrong scattered in the Atlantic Ocean


Washington, Sep 15 (EFE). - The ashes of legendary American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon in 1969, were scattered in the Atlantic Ocean today after a private ceremony aboard the aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea Navy's U.S., NASA said.

The ceremony was attended Armstrong's widow, Carol, said the U.S. space agency.

Armstrong, who made history when he stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969 in the Apollo 11 mission with only 38 years old, died on August 25 aged 82, following complications of cardiovascular surgery.

The Ring Nebula drawn


The Ring Nebula (M 57) is a planetary nebula with a simple symmetry that is familiar to observers of the sky with a telescope. It lays about 2,000 light years away in the constellation Lyra music.

This drawing cosmic ring shows signs of changing colors and subtle details. It was done under excellent conditions of direct observation of eye of a reflecting telescope of 40 inches with a 800x increase. To create the original drawing used colored pencils on white paper, here shown digitally scanned with a palette of colors inverted. With a diameter of about one light year, the nebula is composed of several layers ejected by a dying star that was like the sun.
