The bottom of the path from the Martian mountains "Point Solander"

The rover Opportunity starts climbing the hilly area and is making his way to his first mountain-called "Point Solander." This will be the first "mountain" climbing to the rover. As expected, scientists, the view from the surface of the hill must be impressive.

Currently, the rover has done only a few short "steps" to the south, from his landing on the north side, and so far passed through a relatively flat plain along the rim of the crater rim of Endeavour. The rover is at a distance of only about 180 meters from the mountain, "Solander Point."

The third brightest supernova discovered in the spiral galaxy M74

M74 is a classic spiral galaxy with arms that rotate their bright shimmering light, the stars with very dense cores. The galaxy is at a distance of 32 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pisces. M74 contains about 100 billion stars. The spiral arms are dotted with dense star clusters and pink clouds of fluorescing hydrogen gas.

NASA selects the 8 best research proposals

NASA will fund the program for which you will be competitively selected eight-developed proposals for research on how complex fluids and macromolecules behave in microgravity. Experiments in this research will be conducted aboard the International Space Station.

These experiments and research should be the basis on which NASA scientists and engineers will need to find solution to the problems facing man in space,
