Star leaves the galaxy like a cork bottle

Astronomers have discovered a super fast double star, which flies out of our galaxy at a speed of more than 800 kilometers per second.

Hyperspeed stars were first seen by people in the early 2000s: their speed relative to the center of the Galaxy reached 500 kilometers per second, and this rate was enough to "Get rid" of the star attraction of the system and go to a free intergalactic space. 

Most interesting studies of the interplanetary station "Messenger"

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.
