At Titan's surface may be present in life forms unknown to us
The following month,
the NASA spacecraft "Cassini" will make his 126th and final passage
by Saturn's largest moon Titan. Over its lifetime, the probe
"Cassini" allowed scientists to draw up a detailed map of Titan's
geologically active as a celestial body, the surface of which flow rivers of
liquid hydrocarbons, which the atmosphere has a complex chemical composition,
and under the icy crust are probably hiding a saltwater ocean.

NASA shows the first real photos of the new system with the Trappist-1
Since two weeks ago an
international group of scientists announced the discovery of a solar system
with seven planets like Earth, we had seen only artistic recreations and even
promotional posters of imaginary tourist trips to those new worlds. Now NASA shows
us a real and moving images of the star of this system, Trappist-1, thanks to
its Kepler space telescope.

Life on Jupiter
Life is speculative,
but it's worth considering, says Duncan Forgan, an astrobiologist at the
University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom, who did not participate in the
study, but says he is close to the team. "It really opens up the field in
terms of the amount of objects that we could then think, well, these are
habitable regions," he says.

Are the alliens being the most plentiful?
The planets, like Earth
and the living beings that inhabit it can be a infrequency. In the Milky Way,
our galaxy, three out of four stars are red dwarfs like Trappist-1. So far,
three solar systems with seven planets and a total of 10 habitable worlds have
been discovered. The new finds breaks all records as it houses the largest
number of terrestrial worlds and also contains three habitable, explains Ribas.
Would be the life in newly discovered exoplanets
After the discovery of
the new solar system around the star Trappist-1 you have to answer several
questions to confirm if they harbor life and to know if someday humans will be
able to analyze it. While some of these unknowns could be solved in a few
years, others require technologies that may not be available for centuries.
Discovery of exoplanets: Can there be life in Trappist-1?
Recreation of the new solar
system with seven planets like Earth. A NASA telescope Seven terrestrial
planets orbiting around a soft and quiet sun, at suitable distances, so that
there is liquid water in them. The panorama can not be more optimistic for
Trappist-1 (it is always better that name than its official name of 2MASS
J23062928-0502285) can shelter the first sign of life outside our planet.

A system with seven earths of terrestrial size
A team of astronomers
has revealed the first system known to harbor seven Earth-sized planets around
an individual star (called TRAPPIST-1b, c, d, e, f, g and h). Three of these
planets lies within the habitable zone, the area around the star where a rocky
planet could hold liquid water on its surface, a key to life as we know it.

"Space": running on the waves of gravity
A hundred years ago, an
inquisitive mind of a genius, Albert Einstein assumed that the universe is
filled with gravitational waves, and even described their properties. To this
day, scientists continue to look for them. The "Space" invites
viewers to witness these searches in Hanover, Germany.
Thus, all objects of
the universe - colliding black holes, collapsing stars, planets - create
ripples in the fabric of space-time, slightly distorting, deforming it. This
"ripple" is the gravitational waves.
Top 7 striking facts about time
1. Once a year on Earth
lasted 486 days, it was about 800 million years ago, before the birth of
ancient life in the era of large-scale glaciation of the Earth. Hundreds of
millions of years later, in the era of the dinosaurs, the year was reduced to
370 days. He is now, as you know, is 365 days. What is happening? The facts
that the Earth rotates more slowly, because it "slows down" lunar
gravity.

What are the limits of human vision?
From observations of
distant galaxies light years from us to the perception of invisible colors,
Adam Hedheyzi on BBC explains why your eyes can do incredible things. Take a
look around. What do you see? All these colors, the walls, the windows,
everything seems obvious, as it should be here. The idea that we all see it
because the particles of light - photons - that bounce off of objects and fall
into human vision, it seems incredible.

Life on Mars may be hiding in Opals
The research team from
the University of Glasgow had physical evidence that could help find life on
the Red Planet. Scientists have discovered that the Martian meteorite that
fell near the Egyptian village of Nahla in 1911, contains traces of opal -
precious stones, often used in jewelry. Material for the study provided the
Museum of Natural History in London.
If water leaves from the Planet- will like the Earth to Mars
The two closest to the
Earth planet - Mars and Venus - once had vast oceans, extending over many
millions of square kilometers. But all the planets with liquid water on the
surface is very fragile. Venus could not keep their oceans, and they vanished
into space. Recently we learned that Mars lost most of their water, then it
turned into a dry and cold desert.

Moon to Meet Jupiter in Early Saturday Morning Sky
If your sky is clear
early morning, you'll be treated to a lovely celestial scene as a fat,
waning crescent moon passes just over 7 degrees below and to the right of the
largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. Your clenched fist held at arm's
length measures approximately 10 degrees, so the moon and Jupiter will appear
spaced roughly three-quarters of a fist apart.

NASA released the image strange hexagon on Saturn
Forget about the rings of
Saturn. Another amazing feature that can be clearly seen only exceptionally
distant spacecraft is a whirlwind of strange hexagonal shape, which has been
active for at least 30 years old. Cassini NASA's captured this spectacular
picture of a jet stream of geometric shapes Saturn in July 2013 from a distance
of approximately 973,000 kilometers from the planet.
Image, which was published
by NASA this week, has a scale 58 kilometers per pixel and obtained in the
direction of the illuminated segment of the rings at 33 degrees above the ring
plane.

India will join the Earth observation missions
Toronto signed an
agreement on cooperation between NASA and the Indian Space Agency for join the Earth observation missions.
Last month, the MAVEN
spacecraft and the Indian spacecraft MOM arrived safely to the Red Planet with
a difference of only a few days. In honor of that event, the Indian space probe
for the first time in the history of mankind has reached Mars;
Total eclipse of the moon will be visible on October 8
National Astronomical
Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) calls not to miss the last of this year
a total lunar eclipse that will occur on 8 October. Following a similar
phenomenon, according to forecasts, will be seen only 4 April 2015.
Partial eclipse will
last from 15:15 to 20:33 hours and from 17:25 to complete 18:24 local time.
Man on mars
The Red Planet has been
getting a lot of attention recently, between India's low-cost MOM probe
entering Mars's orbit, NASA's MAVEN doing the same, and the Curiosity rover
reaching the most potentially fertile site yet for signs of ancient life. Elon
Musk has even talked about building a city there. For most people who look out
at the night sky and wonder whether we're alone, Mars holds our best hope for
proving that we're not.
According to Science Alert, Pluto Is A Planet After All
A group of scientists
gathered last week to debate over what a planet actually is. After a popular
vote, the congregation decided that Pluto does, indeed, fit the description of
a planet — at least for the purposes of our solar system. The debate over
Pluto’s fate took place at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
between three experts.
India took a picture of Mars—and found a picture of India
Indians space odyssey are swooning
over the first images of Mars taken from their country’s Mars Orbiter
Mission—and some are saying MOM captured not just the Red Planet, but also an
image of India.
UPI reports that the
shape resembles the sub-continent is a surface discoloration.
Trying to find any
shapes in the dust and clouds may be as meaningful as, well, staring at the
clouds of earth.
