The most famous scientists of planetary nebulae have the correct spherical form. However, there are exceptions - for example, the nebula Fleming 1, like intricate lace veil, with visible seal in the center. Recently, scientists have discovered why it is so unusual is the fact that it created two identical white dwarf.

Australian astronomers Stephen Curran from Sydney University and Matthew whiting from the State Union of scientific and applied research (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO) claim that finally found the cause of the deficit of hydrogen in the early Universe.

Carbon dioxide is essentially a natural part of the atmosphere, but its accumulation at the altitude of 15 km above sea level leads to the greenhouse effect. The consequence of increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is caused including man, is global warming.

Space telescope "Kepler", which is designed to search for exoplanets, planets circulating outside the Solar system, the major part of their mission completed, but the work will continue for four years. The message was recently published on the website NASA.

In a few billion years dying Sun for a short time back to life, throwing gaseous shell in the surrounding space. Something similar happens in the planetary nebula Abell 30, located 5 500 light years from Earth, as you can see in the combined image that is composed of pictures of a space telescope "Hubble" in visible light and x-ray data of orbital observatories XMM-Newtonи "Chandra".

You may think that in order to find a planet orbiting remote stars, you do need to have a huge telescopes that will be so powerful that can detect even the most dim and small parts. Why in that case not to build a truly huge telescope that could have made countless discoveries?

The number of exoplanets in the Universe, apparently exceeds the number of stars. This suggests that in abundance and diversity ekzoplaneta wealth must be detected twin of our native Land. Recently near the star HD 40307 from the constellation of the Painter in potentially habitable zone was discovered this planet. However, its mass is much bigger than earth.

Back in 1960, the Brookings Institution is one of the leading analytical centers of the USA - has prepared a report entitled "the Forecast of consequences of peaceful activities in space for humanity". In addition to various statistical and research data, there has been isolated from the General context of assessing the possibility of opening NASA extraterrestrial intelligent life or traces of its activities. The report contains unequivocal recommendation to classify such data.

The star can "pull" the neighboring developing system. That's such a hypothesis was proposed to explain the strange paths of some of the exoplanets, as well as long-standing mysteries of inclination of the orbit of the Earth itself at 7 relative to the solar equator.

Dark moonless night, and the clear sky - ideal conditions in order to observe the amazing phenomenon - meteor rain - Leonide, the peak of which is expected in the night from Friday to Saturday (16-17 November 2012).

Only 42 light years from us comfortably settled planet that could be inhabited.

The Orbiter "Mars-Odyssey"at the beginning of June this year, translated into safe mode because of problems in navigation systems, recently returned to work. However, as commented by representatives of NASA, for that the probe had to go on a spare set of equipment. He has already started to transfer data from the Rover opportunity".

With the help of "Very large telescope" and telescope "Canada-France-Hawaii" the European southern Observatory has revealed the body, which is likely to be a planet, restless wandering in interstellar space. Today it is the most prominent candidate for this title and, by the way, the closest to us: to him about 100 light-years. Such a small distance and the lack of bright stars in the vicinity of the planet will allow specialists to get important information about its characteristics.

Tens of thousands of scientists, tourists, Amateur astronomers and ordinary Australians were able to see the incredible beauty of the spectacle - a total solar Eclipse.

Future space mission will be able to reveal the strangeness of some of the previous one.
