Recall that the Darwin award - virtual prize, awarded annually for the most ridiculous death, and, as a consequence, "with the exception of defective genes from the gene pool of humanity." The prize is also awarded and the survivors, by his own stupidity lost reproductive capacity.

If the Earth were moving dangerous asteroid, none Bruce Willis could not save our planet. And not least because now there is not only manned spacecraft, at least theoretically able to approach the asteroid and get on it, but able to explosion split or transported to a safe orbit a small celestial body automatic devices. Indeed, in the latter case it should be referred to kilotonne automatic station with nuclear charge that can execute complex maneuvers.

The U.S. Agency NASA has finished testing the prototype of the suit Z-1, which looks very similar to the suits from cartoons.

Spiders create stuffed and directing them, pulling their strings as the puppeteers. Hanging lures on the web is not uncommon for spiders of the genus Cyclosa from the family of Orb-web spiders (Araneidae). Some of the species create "sculptural portraits" of the same color and size, as they are. Besides, "stuffed" reflect the light in the same way as the body of spiders.

According to John Gergana, humanity will solve ethical problems of cloning, and will use it legally. Humanity will agree with reliable methods of cloning when I will be talking about the return of parents tragically deceased child or about the treatment of serious pathologies.

Giant star Zeta Ophiuchus is hurtling through space, creating waves in star dust before him. As you can see on the image, the space telescope NASA "Spitzer was able to capture infrared portrait these luminous waves, also known as the phenomenon of the shock wave.

For anybody not a secret, that the inhabitants of open water is quite difficult to hide due to the nature of their environment. But some species have adapted to the peculiarities of their place of residence, as they were able to use optical illusions for a particular purpose. Such conclusions were made by a group of scientists who experimentally investigated the activity of fluorescent shark.

Space telescope "Hubble" recently did a beautiful image of a spiral galaxy IC 2233, one of the flat galaxies ever observed by astronomers. A typical spiral galaxy like the milky Way usually contain three main visible components: disk with a spiral arms, where the majority of gas and dust and halos, the area around the disk that contains little gas, dust and Central bulge in the center of the disk, which includes a large concentration of ancient stars surrounding the Galactic center.

American scientists studied the star Sao 206462 and its protoplanetary disk.

If aliens exist, how to enter into contact with them? Messages sent into space, yet unanswered. And the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes that the attempts to get in touch risky: who knows what to expect from brothers on reason?

The consequence of a collision of a planet with a large meteorite and the asteroid can be a global catastrophe. It is therefore important to learn how to predict such events. Recently William Brockman and his colleagues at the University of Puerto Rico built a new mathematical model, which evaluates the probability of the fall of the gigantic cosmic bodies on the Earth and even to Mars.
