Experts NASA and the McDonald Observatory (USA) believe that the system of double stars Kepler-47, located in 5 thousand light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, may be mnogoletnei. It means that you can talk about the potential habitability of such star systems. The more planets, the more chances for the existence of life on them.

Housing space technology specially treated with ultraviolet light to destroy all microorganisms. However, soil bacterium, Bacillus (saprophyte) were resistant to this treatment. Since 2006 it has consistently found on the surface of the aircraft. This means that our bacteria can be the first colonists on other planets!

Passions around the mysterious object found in August last year at the bottom of the Baltic sea, continue to boil. For example, some experts believe that by unidentified artifacts from space Nakhodka has absolutely no relation.

Still it was not clear what kind of process is taking place at the level of elementary particles, causing this colorful and dangerous phenomenon of nature. The scientist is convinced that the whole "big badabum" occurs because of the emergence of a scalar particle, like the Higgs boson.

What are the living beings can cause rain when they need it? It turns out that such power over the weather have on plants and fungi from the rain forests of the Amazon. Scientists have found that they can release into the air of aerosols, which contain crystals of salts and organic molecules. And those are just the centers of condensation of rain drops.

As it turned out, most of our ideas about the world and the human body, which are considered indisputable dogma, not quite right or very wrong!

Until recently discovered on Mars clay was considered a sure sign of the fact that on the red planet has or, at least once existed water.

American scientists, working in the framework of the project OMEGA, were able to establish the mass cultivation of algae on wastewater to obtaining from them biofuels. According to one of the participants, it is very similar to "Neolithic revolution" in the energy sector: from "hunting and gathering" energy people are gradually moving to their cultivation.
