Described "the first sea monster" - the earliest giant marine reptile that lived 244 million years ago. The length of one of the first ichthyosaurus is estimated 8.6 m

Medical drugs are discovered on the site of the incident 2 thousand years ago shipwreck, suggests that the Mediterranean civilization of classical antiquity knew very complicated preparations.

Space Observatory "Herschel" performed new observations of asteroid Apophis during his approach to Earth last weekend. Evidence suggests that the object is greater than previously thought, and has less reflective.

Astronomers authorized to state that the massive the star, which they of 2009 was repeatedly caught in the simulation of a supernova, still exploded truly (contrary to some doubt.)

A cluster of galaxies Musket Bullet (DLSCL J0916.2+2951), the light from reaching us after traveling the length 5,23 billion years, is a large group of galaxies, formed by the merger of two clusters of smaller size. And this happened in about 700 million years before we see now in telescopes. As suggested by William Dawson (William Dawson) from the University of California at Davis (USA), it is this accumulation can cause revision of the physics of dark matter. Why?

Courtney Dressing (Courtney Dressing), astronomer at Harvard University (USA), argues that red dwarfs are small, not too bright and hot star class M, with approximately three quarters of the stellar population in the milky way Galaxy, - have a very high probability of being a parent stars for planets similar in size to the Earth.

Coffee lovers expect hard times, and no matter whether you prefer three double espresso a day, or only from time to time catch cappuccino. The fact that climate change will hit the coffee industry, filling 1.6 billion cups a day. Not far off is the time when an afternoon espresso will be more expensive wines.

On the website NASA presents incredible new video of the Vela pulsar. What we see is a result of observations of the Chandra x-ray Observatory (Chandra X-ray Observatory).
Fast-moving stream of particles generated by the rapid rotation of the neutron star. Researchers believe that these observations will allow us to take a new look at the nature of dense matter in the Universe.

According to the statement Daily Mail, earthlings will be able to observe in the sky, the brightest comet of the first half of the XXI century already this year. Rare supercomet rushing to the Sun from the outer part of the Solar system. Astronomers promise that at its peak of supercomet can outshine the moon even during the day and surpass the brightness of the famous comet Hale-BOPP, which was flying over in 1997.

Astronomers say that in our galaxy in about one sixth star has a size close to Earth that it brings the number to a total of 17 billion This result was obtained on the basis of data analysis of the planets of the candidates collected by the telescope "Kepler".

Planets in systems with two stars can be a dangerous place to live, because the planet even have the risk of being thrown out into interstellar space.

Scientists from Japan for the first time managed to shoot on video giant squid that live in the depths of the Pacific ocean.

Unique footage was made a joint crew of the Japanese TV station NHK and the American Discovery Channel, and the initiator of the shooting was the national Museum of science and the environment of Japan. The expedition took place near titidzima Islands, located a thousand miles South of Tokyo.

Statistical analysis of the telescope "Kepler" has shown that approximately every sixth star in surveyed the Universe has in his system Earth-like exoplanet. About it at conference of the American astronomical society said Francois Fresson of the Harvard-Smithsonian center for astrophysics and publication is accepted for publication in the journal the Astrophysical Journal.

According to experts "black sea undersea research centre", one of the objects - ship "Communist" - this is the secret of the Black sea.

Geneticists have created bacteria that produce chemicals from fossil fuels and plastics, which is a breakthrough for the chemical industry.
