August 3, 2004 was
launched interplanetary station "Messenger". Its aim was to study the
closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. The unit flew to the hot planet 7 years,
and only in 2011 it entered the orbit. For two years in orbit, he was able to
do a lot of images of Mercury's surface, collected and handed over a huge
amount of information on the Earth. Powerful Space probe "Messenger"
is equipped with a dual-mode camera, spectrometers, four species, altimeter,
and a magnetometer.

The warped galaxy NGC 3718
Inspection of
multicolored cosmic view shown above reveals a surprising number of galaxies in
the Ursa Major. Some are close, some far away.
The galaxy is striking,
no doubt, NGC 3718, the spiral is deformed toward the center of the image. Its
spiral arms, which are distinguished numerous clusters of young, blue stars,
appear to have been twisted and elongated (see picture at the bottom of the
post). As to the central region of yellow bands are marked by dark powder.

NASA summarizes a year of Curiosity rover on Mars
NASA has released a
video with a sequence of 548 images of two minutes in length showing all the
work of Curiosity rover on Mars since its arrival on the planet, just a year
ago.
Through a camera
mounted on the front of this vehicle research, have been able to capture some
of your most important moments in Mars as the moment you start to move around
the planet as well as the collection of a sample of Martian rock .
The device Spitzer discovered young stars
Observing through Spitzer
Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a young star system, which
"flickers" every 3 months. The system, called YLW 16A, consists of
three stars, two of which are surrounded by a disk of a certain matter that
remains after the formation of stars.
Since the two inner
stars circling around each other,
The Doppler Effect and long-planet
We are all familiar
with the Doppler Effect, even if you do not know the term. Today, scientists
have found an alternative explanation for the phenomenon when the sound or the light spinning object is scattered. This discovery could help astronomers to
measure the rotation of the planet, or even improve the performance of wind
turbines.
Here is what the
principle of the Doppler Effect: when the object emitting the noise is moving
towards its sound waves converge together and produce a higher frequency.
Conversely, when the subject moves away, the sound waves are scattered. The
faster the object moves, the sharper the frequency difference.
