Galaxies are by no means static star islands - they are dynamic and constantly changing objects moving in the dark void of the universe

Exactly half a century ago, astronomers caught a strange signal, initially mistaken for messages from aliens

Unusual giant multistage structures on the Moon, similar to the ancient Roman amphitheaters and the Colosseum, appeared on the Earth's satellite in the distant past thanks to a series of magma eruptions caused by the fall of an asteroid and the collapse of the crater walls, they say

After the sensational materials of the Chinese scientist Mao Kang, who previously reported at the conference about the bare footprint seen on the surface of the moon, were published in the 80s, a stir among his colleagues began

The discovery of radioactive iron in lunar samples collected by NASA astronauts as part of the Apollo mission allowed scientists in a new study to suggest that a supernova exploded several million years "near" the Earth

Two and a half and eight million years ago, not far from us (by astronomical standards), two supernovae flared up, which could lead to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer and numerous undesirable consequences for life

The constellation of the Wolf has survived a global catastrophe And yet it flashed

This is the conclusion reached by scientists who studied the activity of stars and the composition of the atmosphere of new worlds

For the first time, a group of astronomers from Rice University simultaneously discovered three spatial gas rings surrounding the young star HD 163296, located almost 400 light years from us

The theme of the War, with the use of nuclear weapons, quite often appears in the stories of the death of the ancient civilizations of the Earth. Atlantis - went to the seabed in a nuclear disaster. The Red Planet also did not escape the fate - Mars was destroyed by a nuclear strike of an aggressive civilization

If you divide the matter in the Universe into smaller and smaller components, you will eventually reach the limit, when faced with a fundamental and indivisible particle

Vigilant hunters for unusual phenomena constantly find artifacts in photographs from the Red Planet that exceed the most daring expectations. This time - this is a dinosaur fossil (see video below)

A team of scientists led by experts from the Institute for Solar System Research. Max Planck and the University of Göttingen discovered wave swirls on the Sun known as Rossby waves

A meteorite fell to the bottom of the Karelian Vygozero. Experts confidently declare this, brushing aside other versions - for example, that fragments of a rocket fell into a reservoir or a shell exploded at its bottom during the Great Patriotic War

Astronomers fear that HIP 85605 could seriously affect the location of objects in the Oort cloud surrounding the solar system

Russian scientists believe that in the future it will be possible to abandon the use of expensive chemical-fueled rockets and launch cargo from Mars using ropes from satellites. Writes about this RIA Novosti

Employees of the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science have announced that Mars has lost its atmosphere due to the effects of solar wind, writes Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

In January 2016, astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin published the first indirect evidence for the existence of another planet inside the solar system

Scientists at the University of Nebraska have discovered anomalous stars similar to KIC 8462852, also known as Tabby's Star or Boyajian's Star. Non-periodic dips in the brightness of the star still have no unambiguous explanation. According to one hypothesis, artificial megastructures like the Dyson sphere could have caused the darkening

Astronomers have studied in detail the chemical composition of two dozen planetary systems and have not found any serious differences between them and the Earth

Every student knows that Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in our solar system

The fall of asteroids to Earth during the formation of the planet became the reason for the current appearance of the planet, the earth's crust and continents. This conclusion was reached by an international group of scientists from South Africa, Canada and Finland

Neutrino astronomy is very young - she is only about two decades old. Scientists believe that the study of the smallest and very difficult to detect particles can give us new information about much larger objects, which we could not get otherwise

Scientists from Northern Illinois University have presented a map of Mars covered with water. This was reported in a press release posted on Phys.org

In 2015, the previously unremarkable star KIC 8462852 (Tabby's star) suddenly became world famous. The reason for this was the publication of an article telling about the mysterious changes in the brightness of the star
