Mars and Earth were shaped from the same structure blocks

A team of Carnegie investigated hydrogen liquefy in water from the Martian subsurface, and found that Mars was formed from the same structure blocks as the Earth, and the changes in the chemical composition of the planet began to occur in the course of its subsequent evolution. This indicates that the terrestrial planets, including Earth, the same source of water - chondritic meteorites. However, unlike our planet, Mars rocks, which contain volatile components such as water, can be processed deep in the bowels of the planet.

Temperatures worldwide could rise by 4 degrees

If procedures are not taken to stop climate change by the end of this century, temperatures worldwide could rise by 4 degrees. World Bank does not rule out that even if all the nations of the world to meet the commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is likely to happen at a temperature rise of 3 degrees.

Curiosity discovered "something amazing"

Mars rover Curiosity during the analysis of samples of Martian soil found something very interesting, but scientists refuse to say what the rover found - specialists intend to double-check everything again and eliminate errors, according to the American radio station NPR.

"We receive data from the SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars - chemical laboratory aboard the rover) ... and these data seem to be very interesting.

supernova nuclear blasts produce a paste

When dying stars detonate as supernovae, spread out a shock wave lead the so-called "rebound" - matter and elementary particles are compressed towards the center of the star to achieve the density that come into play in the nuclear force.

In the development of a supernova nuclear particles can create different and often bizarre forms, such as rods, plates or vials and long threads - which gave the name to this phenomenon, associated with the famous Italian pasta. Creating a "paste" because in the dying star DIURNAL two types of forces - the Coulomb revulsion of the same charges and nuclear forces of attraction.

Meteorites found on Mars there is warm water

Hydrothermal cracks around Martian impact craters could be suitable places for living organisms, according to scientists.

The new study, manner jointly by the University of Leicester and the Open University, led by lead author John Bridges of the University of Leicester has determined that the temperature on Mars were in the range of about 50 to 150 degrees Celsius. On Earth, microbes can survive in such an environment, such as the volcanic thermal hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, USA, suggest the researchers.

A new "border" of the galaxy

Found near the Orion Nebula star cluster

Star cluster, which had previously been measured part of the spectacular Orion Nebula, is actually a separate creature, located in front of the nebula, according to a new study.

Scientists are using the Canada-French-Hawaii Telescope, located in Hawaii, discovered that the star cluster NGC 1980 is a separate group of massive stars in front of the Orion Nebula, which lies at a distance of about 1,500 light-years away and is one of the closest Earth "stellar nurseries". Accumulation unevenly scattered around the star iota Orion, located in the southern part of the "sword" of the constellation Orion.

Scientists have explained the preference of exoplanets

Since the planets in the solar system formed from the same cloud of gas and dust that the star itself, until recently, it was thought that the plane of their orbits must coincide with the plane of rotation of the star. However, beginning in 2008, astronomers began to find more and more exoplanets, which were in highly inclined orbits and even reverse (counter-rotating) with respect to its star.

Curiosity SAM tool examines first piece of solid ground
