Large sunspot group

In the Academy of Sciences astro photographers circle he was not previously active, even more warmly now our "Welcome". On 7 July this year, he managed the mosaic of an interesting area to a large sunspot group (AR 1785). He used a Meade Refractor (ED 152 mm with 3x Barlow lens) and as a DMK camera 21AU618.AS. At 3657 mm effective focal length (aperture 24) the frames of the video sequence were exposed to 0.2 ms. 

The Great Wall of China is not can be seen from space

One of the most popular spatial myths is that the Great Wall is the only man that can be seen from space. Well, not true. The reality is you cannot easily see the Great Wall from low Earth orbit to the naked eye. And rightly the Apollo astronauts could not see it from the moon, despite the urban legend has spread widely.

Sun's 2013 Solar Activity Peak Is Weakest in 100 Years

Though the sun is currently in the peak year of its 11-year solar weather cycle, our closest star has been rather quiet over all, scientists say.

This year's solar maximum is shaping up to be the weakest in 100 years and the next one could be even more quiescent, scientists said Thursday (July 11).

SUNNY TAIL: 3D quatrefoil

In the solar system is the tail of the solar wind particles, resembling the tail of a comet. To verify the existence of this tail, and determine its structure, scientists were able, after analyzing data collected over three years, the spacecraft NASA IBEX.

Moon Has Close Encounters with Planets, Star This Month: How to See It

If you only glance at the sky now and then, you may think it's pretty much the same every night. Regular sky watchers know better, and are aware of the constant changes the sky undergoes.

Take the moon, for example. Although most people know that the moon revolves around the Earth, they may never have noticed this movement with their own eyes. This week we get a chance to do exactly that.

Student Team Set for Zero-Gravity Fire Experiment on NASA 'Vomit Comet'

A team of university students is counting down toward the ultimate science ride, a weightless flight aboard a modified NASA jet to see just how certain fires burn in zero gravity.

Scientists are confused about topic of Global Warming

Scientists are confused about the predictions of the apocalypse while some experts promise to hide the carbon dioxide into the ground, the other frightening collapse of the power system topic of global warming and the related phenomenon of threats continues to occupy the minds of scientists, with no time to receive one prediction, 

6 amazing facts about black holes

This is what happens when the universe divides by zero. They arise when the reality shows a critical error: too much material in one place the power of its own gravity and spoils the substance, and the place in which it is located. Usually gravity in our universe is playing the role of a caring older brother who always preterit for younger scattered toys. But in the case of black holes, gravity becomes downright Al Capone, which first convened a meeting the entire fundamental laws of life, and then arranges a real meat grinder with their participation. 

End of the Universe can happen at any time

Last year, the Large Hadron Collider has been defined mass "God particle" - the Higgs boson. Its importance was such that can turn all preconceived ideas about the "strength" of our world - the end of the universe can come at any moment, and the source of the death of the universe may appear at any point. Traditionally, the end of the universe, scientists "suggested" three basic scenarios . And they were all tied to the properties of dark energy - a hypothetical phenomenon through which modern physics explains why our universe is expanding with acceleration. 

Scientists have disprove most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ

Most theological historians, Christian and non-Christian, believe that Jesus was actually walked the Earth. However, scientists using the latest technology could disprove all the most famous proof of the existence of Jesus Christ. In particular, the legendary Shroud of Turin, which would be buried Jesus, in fact, has imprints of the body. However, from a scientific point of view it is a fake. Radiocarbon scan revealed that she comes from the times of the 14th century, writes Raut.ru.

Another irrefutable proof that Jesus was crucified: splinters from the cross. 

NASA Spacecraft Photographs Pluto's Largest Moon Charon

A NASA spacecraft bound for Pluto has captured its first photo of the dwarf planet's largest moon Charon, a cosmic snapshot snapped from nearly 550 million miles away.

The new Charon photo was taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which is closing in on Pluto and due to fly by the icy world in July 2015. The black-and-white image shows Charon as a dim object that is near, but clearly separate from, the brighter object that is Pluto.

Discovery of a planet with the mass of Saturn

The detection of discrete mass planets located at distances solar systems continues to garner notable achievements. And these do not feed only technological advances but also the ingenuity of new generations of scientists who apply innovative ways to process the data obtained in observations, with which they can detect celestial objects that would otherwise go unnoticed.

This is the case of Karen Collins, one electrical engineer whose fascination for astronomy long finished taking her to this second career. 

The super telescope ALMA located a giant star embryo

The telescope Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, has got the best view so far achieved a huge star in the Milky Way, which has 500 times the mass of the Sun in the formation process within a dark cloud.

The embryonic star inside the cloud hungrily devours the material falling inward. It is believed that the cloud will give birth to a very bright star over 100 times the mass of the Sun, according to reports Dicyt .

Detected radio Bursts of light sources of our galaxy

Astronomers, including members of the team NASA" s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., found the first availability of radio bursts, we know that they come from galaxies outside our own Milky Way. Bursts of light sources are unknown, but they are similar to those which happen during catastrophic events, or the like - a merger or an explosion of stars, and the like - triggers.

Detection of DNA in space

If there is life on Mars, it's not so far-fetched to believe that the Martian life may have in common genetic roots of life on Earth.  More than 3.5 billion years ago, a lot of space meteors ricocheted around the solar system, passing the same between the two young planets. This galactic game of ping-pong left its traces on the Earth and on Mars, maybe then creates a common genetic foundation between the two planets.

Evidence of the new planets?

New calculations show that a sufficient concentration of gas in the disk around a young star can lead to the process of coalescence of space dust, forming a ring, and creating ways that resemble those formed in the process of neoplasm’s.

Gravity pulls the cosmic dust and debris of stones. After they were together in small groups gather even more space stuff and so they travel,

At the tail of the heliosphere found surprising image

Spacecraft NASA Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) recent initiates the first images showing the whole entire "leeward" side of the sun, the structure of which was a surprise to scientists.

When the sun moves through our galaxy, the Milky Way behind it reaches the "tail" of solar particles, like the tail of a comet. Previously,

Scientists are working on the protection of terrestrial energy systems from solar storms

Ground-based tools allow scientists to obtain new information about solar eruptions that threaten life on Earth.

Experts of the British geological survey (BGS) began collecting data from three research stations in the UK to assess the influence of powerful solar storms on our planet's power grid.

Although coronal mass ejections - giant solar eruptions of hot plasma - is extremely difficult to predict, but scientists are trying to explore the possibilities of the most effective protection of terrestrial power systems from overloads associated with extreme manifestations of space weather.

Seeing Space Shuttle Atlantis Fills Reporter with Inspiration ... and Regret

Seeing Atlantis on public display is both exhilarating and sad. The retired space shuttle orbiter officially went on view Saturday (June 29) at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as part of a new $100 million exhibition.

The mighty spaceship, which traveled to space and back 33 times over 26 years, is an awe-inspiring sight, especially when you're standing just feet away. The new exhibition displays space shuttle Atlantis as if she were in flight soaring over Earth, tilted at an angle with cargo bay doors open and robotic arm extended. The effect made me feel almost as if I was in space too.
