The cosmos is full of quaint and even terrible phenomena, ranging from the stars that sucked the life out of their own kind and to the giant black holes that are billions of times larger and more massive than our Sun. Some of the most terrible things in space.

Planet Ghost



Many astronomers talked about the fact that a huge planet, Fomalhaut In sunk into oblivion, but it seems alive again.

In 2008 astronomers using space telescope, NASA's Hubble announced the opening of a huge planet that orbits very bright star Fomalhaut, located just at a distance of 25 light years from Earth. Other researchers later questioned this discovery, saying that science actually discovered displayed a giant cloud of dust.

However, according to the latest data obtained by the Hubble space, the planet is discovered again and again. Other experts carefully study system, surrounding the star, so the planet zombies can be buried more than once before on this issue will be the final verdict.

Zombie stars



Some stars literally come to life brutal and dramatic way. Astronomers classify these stars zombie as a type Ia supernova, which generate huge and powerful explosions sending "internal" stars in the Universe.

A type Ia supernova exploding from binary systems, which consist of at least one white dwarf is a tiny, super-dense star, who stopped to pass through the synthesis of nuclear reactions. White dwarfs "dead", but in this form they can't stay in the binary system.

They can come back to life, though briefly, in a giant explosion together with supernovae, sucking the life out of her from the companion star or by merging with it.

Star - vampires



Like vampires from the literature, some stars manage to stay young, sucking the life force of the unfortunate victims. These stars are vampires known as "the blue straggler"and "look" they are much younger than their neighbors with whom they were formed.

When they blast temperature is much higher, and the color "much blue". Scientists believe that this is the case because they suck huge amount of hydrogen from neighboring stars.

Giant black holes



Black holes can seem objects science fiction - they are extremely tight, and the gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from them, if coming to them at close range.

But it is very real objects that are quite common throughout the Universe. In fact, astronomers believe that supermassive black holes located in the centre of most, if not all galaxies, including our milky Way. Supermassive black holes magnificent in its size. Scientists have recently discovered two black holes, the mass of each of which is equal to the mass of 10 billion of our Suns.

Incomprehensible cosmic black



If you are afraid of the dark, being in deep space is clearly not for you. This place "extreme black", located very far from comforting home lights. Space is black, according to scientists because it is empty.

Despite the trillions of stars scattered throughout the cosmos, many molecules are at a great distance from each other to jump up and dissipate.

Spiders and witches broom



Heaven inhabited by witches, glowing skulls and all-seeing eyes, in fact, you can imagine any object. All these forms we see in diffuse collection of glowing gas and dust, called nebulae, which are scattered throughout the Universe.

Visual images that appear before us, are examples of particular phenomena, in which the human brain recognizes form of random images.

The killer asteroids



Listed in the preceding paragraph phenomena can be creepy or accept the abstract form, but they do not represent a threat to humanity. What can be said about the large asteroids that pass close to the Earth distance.

Experts say that an asteroid, of a width of 1 km has the power in a collision to destroy our planet. And even an asteroid the size of only 40 meters can cause serious damage, if he gets into town.

The impact of the asteroid is one of the factors that affects life on Earth. It is likely that 65 million years ago an asteroid the size of 10 kilometers killed the dinosaurs. Fortunately for us, scientists scan the heavenly rocks, and there are ways to redirect dangerous space stones away from the Earth, if, of course, to detect danger.

The active sun



The sun gives us life, but our star is not always so good. It cast serious storms from time to time, which could have a potentially devastating effect on radio communication, satellite navigation and operation of power grids.

Recently similar solar flares especially frequently observed, because the sun entered its particularly active phase of the 11-year cycle. Researchers expect that solar activity will reach its peak in 2013.
