Most excellent photo of the Sun from NASA

Astronomers from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (NASA) for the first time took a photo of our central achiever in high definition.

We have not had time to approve of the photographs of the Sun made by Solar Dynamics Observatory, but this time the picture was in use in a high resolution, which officials said NASA, that smooth the most modern TV Ultra-HD TV cannot show it at full resolution.

Spacecraft "Solar Dynamics Observatory" (Solar Dynamics Observatory / SDO), launched by the American space agency, in February 2010, is "guilty" of the most stunning images of solar flares.

Moon Illusion

Presented another answer to the age old question of why the moon comes into view larger close to the horizon than at the pinnacle.

Reprogramming Leprosy

Investigating the mechanisms of spread of leprosy (leprosy) in the body, scientists have noticed that its agents - bacteria Mycobacterium lepta - can exchange mature cells into stem cells (which can develop into different cell types).

Researchers have identified lemmotsity mice and infected them with agents of leprosy. 

Astronomers have exposed the largest structures in the universe

A group of British astronomers exposed the largest known structures in the universe. This is a group linked by a single gravitational field of active galactic nuclei, which make bigger from one end to 4 billion light years away. Scientifically verbal communication, the structure is a large group of quasars.

ALMA makes gas flows visible on the planet formation

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA) for the first time to directly observe how extensive gas streams overcome a gap in the disk of matter around a young star. In theory, should such gas streams arise during the growth phase of planets? This is a key stage in the birth of the gas giants. The observations are the second January 2013 published in the journal Nature.
