The environment in which new planets are formed, can be much more chaotic than previously thought, reported in the journal Astrophysical Journal. This is the conclusion of astronomers came after the discovery of the spiral arms of carbon monoxide in Read more
French scientists found that super-earths and water-rich subnature may belong to the same family of planets. Among subnational can be a planet with a water shell in the supercritical state, while it used to be that the majority of planets Read more
The Orbiter, a European- ExoMars found deep in the atmosphere of Mars previously unknown absorption bands of ozone and carbon dioxide. This forces scientists to reconsider methods of prospecting for methane in the Martian atmosphere, however, allows us to understand Read more
Analysis of the data collected by the automatic interplanetary station “Juno” during the flyby, the largest of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede at the end of last year, showed that the water ice in its polar regions is amorphous, not crystalline structure. Read more
NASA has completed work on the design of the payload of the Observatory ASTHROS, which will help to study how stars are born in gas clouds. As reported on the website space Agency, it will be launched into the stratosphere Read more
Crack Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, may remain after its collision with another large celestial body, reported in the journal Icarus. If the hypothesis of scientists is correct, then the observed traces can be considered to be the largest Read more
Astronomers for the second time in history, failed to see ultraviolet light, remaining after an explosion of a white dwarf, reported in an article published in The Astrophysical Journal. Thanks to him, scientists will be able to figure out what Read more
Astronomers have proposed a new method of finding planets with the help of two telescopes — presumably the method will allow to see not only close to the star body, but less hot extrasolar planets with large transit time. Scientists Read more
Astronomers have obtained the first in the history of the young sun-like star around which turn two giant exoplanets. Direct images of exoplanetary systems is extremely rare and until now astronomers could not directly see more than one planet orbiting Read more
About 800 million years ago the Earth and Moon survived the meteoritic bombardment, reported in an article in Nature Communications. To such conclusion scientists have reached based on the analysis of images obtained by the Japanese probe “Kaguya”. Researchers estimate, Read more
