According to a new study, galactic cosmic radiation may accelerate the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

In 2013, we are waiting for a five eclipses - two Sunny and three of the moon. As star "blindman's buff and hide and seek" will affect our lives? Let's deal.

In our Galaxy astronomers have found an enormous concentration of stars.

Dark energy, the mysterious substance which is accelerating, according to scientists, the expansion of the Universe, really exists. So says a team of astronomers from Portsmouth (England) and Munich universities.

The American scientist from the National Agency on Aeronautics and space Michael Mamma found that comets emit streams of x-ray radiation, which, as you know, has detrimental effects on living organisms, including humans.
