Discovery of a planet with the mass of Saturn

The detection of discrete mass planets located at distances solar systems continues to garner notable achievements. And these do not feed only technological advances but also the ingenuity of new generations of scientists who apply innovative ways to process the data obtained in observations, with which they can detect celestial objects that would otherwise go unnoticed.

This is the case of Karen Collins, one electrical engineer whose fascination for astronomy long finished taking her to this second career. 

The super telescope ALMA located a giant star embryo

The telescope Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, has got the best view so far achieved a huge star in the Milky Way, which has 500 times the mass of the Sun in the formation process within a dark cloud.

The embryonic star inside the cloud hungrily devours the material falling inward. It is believed that the cloud will give birth to a very bright star over 100 times the mass of the Sun, according to reports Dicyt .

Detected radio Bursts of light sources of our galaxy

Astronomers, including members of the team NASA" s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., found the first availability of radio bursts, we know that they come from galaxies outside our own Milky Way. Bursts of light sources are unknown, but they are similar to those which happen during catastrophic events, or the like - a merger or an explosion of stars, and the like - triggers.

Detection of DNA in space

If there is life on Mars, it's not so far-fetched to believe that the Martian life may have in common genetic roots of life on Earth.  More than 3.5 billion years ago, a lot of space meteors ricocheted around the solar system, passing the same between the two young planets. This galactic game of ping-pong left its traces on the Earth and on Mars, maybe then creates a common genetic foundation between the two planets.

Evidence of the new planets?

New calculations show that a sufficient concentration of gas in the disk around a young star can lead to the process of coalescence of space dust, forming a ring, and creating ways that resemble those formed in the process of neoplasm’s.

Gravity pulls the cosmic dust and debris of stones. After they were together in small groups gather even more space stuff and so they travel,

At the tail of the heliosphere found surprising image

Spacecraft NASA Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) recent initiates the first images showing the whole entire "leeward" side of the sun, the structure of which was a surprise to scientists.

When the sun moves through our galaxy, the Milky Way behind it reaches the "tail" of solar particles, like the tail of a comet. Previously, 

British Astronomers have first color of exoplanets

British astronomers have for the first time were able to determine the color of exoplanets. With the help of a telescope "Hubble" researchers from Oxford University Conducted a spectral analysis of the stars in the constellation Vulpecula, and where able to calculate the color of the planet orbiting HD 189733 b. Details referring to the still unpublished article for the magazine scientists Astrophysical Journal Letters lead Nature News.

Since the star is too far away, 63 light years from Earth,
