An international team of astronomers for the first time for all history of space research has discovered exoplanet that orbits in the system of two pair of stars, one of which is located on the remote orbit. The planet is about five thousand light-years from Earth. The opening is made in the framework of the international program at Yale University Planet Hunters.

Now the basic theory of the evolution of the Solar system is a model of nice. It is expected that after the dispersion of the original protoplanetary disk four giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune turned on nearly circular orbits at a distance of 5.5-17. that is from the Sun, and not in 5-30 as now. Beyond the orbit extreme of these planets were large dense disk of stone and ice planetesimals. And he stretched up to 35. that is from the Sun, beyond the current orbit of Neptune.

In the center of the milky way located the black hole, which already by September of the next year will take in their depths approaching cloud of hot gas. The process of "eating", true, little lengthy for future seven years, is designed astronomers, wrote in an article in the Astrophysical Journal.

No coincidence statement of one of the giants of physics, Nobel prize winner, our compatriot Vitaly Ginzburg, who said with his usual bluntness: "Such beings, most likely, are some energy field, endowed with unusual properties. And this, undoubtedly, testifies to the existence of parallel worlds".

In the constellation of Cancer near the star 55 Cancri astronomers have discovered one interesting exoplanet. Before it was considered a gas giant like Neptune, but recent studies have shown that it is not. This planet is carbon, and, consequently, a large part of its mantle consists of diamonds. They weigh twice more than the planet Earth!

Usually the Sun is considered as an enemy of water, as its rays cause evaporation of moisture. But sometimes it can act as its Creator. Recently the American scientists have found that stocks of water on the moon could be the result of the impact of the solar wind. Portable them hydrogen ions could be combined with oxygen on the surface of the satellite.

In the meteorite, failed hard to Morocco in July 2011, found streaks of black glass, from Mars. This was the conclusion of researchers from the local University Hassan II, headed by Hasnaa Chennaoui Augean. To deliver to Earth soil samples from the red planet, unfortunately, that is not possible, but Curiosity Rover will help to learn more about it.

How rapidly time: I remember that not so long ago we have read, seriously denied the possibility of the existence of planets around normal double stars is because of their instability, caused by the large number of light. They say, Tatooine could arise only in the fevered imagination of science fiction (Hollywood writers). As we now understand, the planets around binary stars have: at least six, and this considering the fact that the characteristics of binary systems hamper their detection is the most popular method.

Trojan called asteroids that are in the vicinity of the Lagrange points L4 and L5 this or that planet. With planets in orbits which they live, such asteroids form an equilateral triangle. Most such bodies Jupiter, although there are some in Neptune, Mars and Earth. The mystery of their origin scietists.

on 15 October 1997 the launch of the spacecraft Cassini. In the 15 years that have passed since then, he wrapped 6.1 billion km (that is, to fly around the Earth more than 152 thousand times) and by right is one of the most distinguished travellers machines.

Recently, scientists were able to discover in ekzoplanetoy system of the star Beta painter of the mineral olivine, which is often found in the composition of comets. That is, for the first time provided evidence of the existence of aksakal, which previously only intended. Interestingly, in this system there "comet depot" - cluster on the periphery, similar to the Kuiper belt.
