On Mars is a bit dusty, so Curiosity decided to clean up, and it can be congratulated with achievement - a small area of the Martian surface is cleaned. For the first time the Rover has adopted one of their tools device dust removal DRT (Dust Removal Tool)located on the arm of the Rover.

The U.S. space Agency NASA has long been nurturing plans to send expeditions to one of the asteroids. But these plans that will be implemented by 2020, year, do not receive yet sufficient support and approval. Therefore, some other organizations engaged in the development of alternative options for the study of asteroids, and one of the most feasible and promising alternative is to plan, developed by experts of Institute of space research Cesc, which is the institution that organized the California Institute of technology and the Laboratory of NASA for the study of jet propulsion.

The largest and most powerful particle accelerator, which is known to all the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is preparing to shut down, which will happen in March of this year. After that within two years there will be the replacement and modernization of some elements of the design of the TANK, as well as the installation of additional elements and devices that will allow the Collider to reach the level of maximum energy collisions of particles, which should lead to new stunning discoveries in nuclear physics and physics of subatomic particles.

The spacecraft NASA has documented the consequences of the explosion of a massive star, resulting in a picture with unprecedented resolution.

Physiologists found Ruili y of participants of the experiment "Ma pc-500" PA Denia aktivnosti or disruption of sleep , which progressiove whether during the simulation of the flight Kpa scurry PLA no.

Martian research apparatus NASA, such as the Rovers previous generation Spirit and Opportunity, and the latest Curiosity Rover, which recently landed on Mars, had pronounced anthropomorphic qualities, mast-head-cameras, arms, which make them very recognizable and kind even "cute". The next generation of devices intended for studies of other planets and celestial bodies, will be significantly less "attractive", because these devices in appearance will be very remind one of the medieval weapons - Mace.

The Rover NASA Curiosity is very close to the commencement of drilling on Mars. In outer office say that Curiosity will start drilling operations this week. John grotzinger, scientific Director of the project, says that after the break for the new year holidays group Curiosity shall send the apparatus to the Martian region known as the Gulf Yellow Knife. It is expected that there will be selected first Martian rock drilling.

The researchers found on the surface of the moon series of three mysterious craters. Experts, which follows the lunar surface, believe that the craters were formed within a few minutes, but as it happened I can not explain.

Where there is water, can be life, for the existence of which water is absolutely necessary - it is solvent, thanks to which it is easy to assemble complex macromolecules that are necessary for living systems. Yes, on Mars now is lots of orbital apparatus, and it is covered with geological evidence of a long-standing presence of water. But nothing more. The most encouraging to date, the conclusion is that found a place where millions of years ago flowed streams. Scientists do not stop the search. But the irony is that "just" a couple of hundred million kilometres from Mars there are a lot of potentially habitable places with plenty of water.

Using space telescopes "the Spitzer and Hubble group of astronomers was able to explore the turbulent atmosphere of the brown dwarf, and to create the most detailed "map weather" for this class subsidy objects.

Long time was considered that the skin is wrinkled due to normal osmosis water seeps into the cells, and the outer layers of the skin because of this swell and become deformed. However, experiments, and observations of recent years has convinced scientists that here, most likely, the problem in the nerves. When the skin is under water, nerves give its vessels command narrow, and fabric decreases in volume. As a result, the surface of the skin still shrinks, though for a different reason.

Astronomers apparently found a large asteroid belt around the star VEGA is the second brightness in the Northern part of the night sky. The appropriate conclusion is made on the basis of the data space telescopes "Spitzer" and "Herschel".

Scientists working with the data of the spacecraft Cassini, came to the conclusion that the surface of lakes and seas of Titan can decorate hydrocarbon ice floes. The presence of the latter allows to explain the strange reflectivity of a surface of this moon of Saturn.

In autumn 2013 to the Earth close ancient comet, which moves along a unique trajectory. Scientists expect that by its brightness, it will Eclipse the moon and will be visible to the naked eye, even in the daytime.

Today,9 January in the 15.43 MSC will fly by the Earth asteroid Apophis

Asteroid Apophis, which is called the most serious cosmic threat to the Earth, today will approach our planet at a distance of about fourteen and a half million kilometers. By the standards of the Universe is not so much. But in 2029, according to scientists Apophis will fly only 36 thousand kilometers from the Earth, that is the orbit of geostationary satellites.
