Secrets of space 2024, November

It is becoming less and less likely that a swarm of comets can explain the strange twinkling of a distant star

The development of the space industry, numerous studies of the Universe lead to more and more fantastic theories, but many of them are confirmed empirically, and some, although they look fantastic, but, with the current development of technology and sets

The minds of all mankind, scientific at least, are directed towards Mars. We are told that very soon, man will not only fly to Mars, and moreover, he will be able to colonize it

Scientists at the Instoruto de Astrofisica de Canarias, a research institute in the Canary Islands, have just discovered one of the brightest galaxies we have ever encountered

Immediately at the three nearest stars, similar to the Sun, there were planetary systems of "super-lands" and "Jupiters". The brightest of them is easy to see with the naked eye in the constellation Virgo, it is only 30 light years away

The danger to civilization can lurk both in the person himself and be external. Something tells me that for a better understanding of the world around us, the reader simply needs to familiarize himself with these external dangers

The ALMA telescope has received the first ever images of the black hole accretion disk - "donut" of heated gas and matter, which revolves around her and which she gradually absorbs, according to an article published in the Astrophysical Journal

The flight time to the Red Planet is now equal to the period of bearing a child. However, how long to fly to Mars is far from an idle question. The longer - the more expensive and more dangerous. Therefore, SpaceX intends to cut the flight duration in half

How the greatest mystery of the Universe has pitted scientists from all over the world.Cosmologists are faced with a serious scientific problem, which indicates the imperfection of human knowledge about the Universe. The complexity concerns such a seemingly trivial thing as the expansion rate of the Universe

Astrophysicist Abraham Loeb of Harvard University in the United States suggested that the gravitational waves recorded by LIGO (Laser Interferometric Gravitational Observatory) arose from the merger of two black holes inside a giant star

Well-known astrophysicist Stephen Hawking made a new assumption regarding black holes. He suggests that they are the gateway to a parallel universe

To date, scientists have not been able to unequivocally prove the existence of "dark matter", which supposedly consists of most of our Universe

After conducting theoretical studies, scientists from the American University of Purdue suggest that huge lava channels located on the surface of the moon hide equally huge tunnels

The universe we live in is huge, full of matter and energy, and is expanding faster and faster. Looking beyond billions of light years, we can see billions of years of our ancient past, see the formation of planets, stars and galaxies

An international team of scientists has confirmed the existence of the gravitational redshift predicted by Albert Einstein in the framework of general relativity

Einstein's general theory of relativity - an extremely important tool for representing the modern Universe, without which the launch of any satellite is essential. But how is it observed on a scale, for example, of an entire galaxy?

The result of the data analysis for 26 years of astronomical observations was the official confirmation of the predicted by the general theory of relativity of the peculiarity of the motion of a star in the strong gravitational field of a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way

Scientists have managed to carry out the most accurate test of Einstein's general theory of relativity on a large astronomical scale to date - beyond the Milky Way. About reaching the story of the European Southern Observatory (ESO)

Scientists have a new and well-founded opinion regarding the unusualness of the discovered star KIC 8462852, which excited the entire scientific community for several months due to its "unnatural" luminosity level

A group of researchers led by Mario Sukerchia of Columbia's Antioquia University has proposed a new explanation for the unusual cases of decreasing brightness in the star K8462852 based on recent observation and computer simulations

Much of the antimatter filling the space of our Milky Way galaxy may be the remnants of dead stars, new study says

How to understand if a planet is suitable for life? Telescopes capable of seeing a living creature on another planet, even if it is very large, are not expected in the near future

In science fiction, wormholes are often used to travel long distances in space. Are these magical bridges possible in reality?

We are used to the fact that in Hollywood science fiction films, characters travel interstellar distances in a few seconds. At the same time, we know that in reality this is impossible, because even the light goes to the nearest stars for more than four years

Somewhere beyond the event horizon … Beyond the black hole's horizon is a zone called the gravitational singularity. There space-time becomes infinite and indefinite

Black hole - a region of space-time that nothing, not even light, can leave because of the very strong gravity. - Is space travel possible through black holes?

Sci-fi works often describe the method of using "wormholes" or "wormholes" to travel long distances in space

The next time you eat a berry muffin, think about what happened to the blueberries in the dough as the sweetness baked. Blueberries lay in one place, but as the buns expanded, the berries began to move away from each other

Given everything we know about the laws governing the universe, it seems extremely unlikely (if not entirely acceptable) that one day we will be able to travel all the way from Earth to the far side of our galaxy

In the neighboring dwarf galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the Tarantula nebula (a region of star formation), at a distance of 163 thousand light years from Earth, there is a star VFTS 102 - the fastest massive rotating around its own axis

The XENON1T detector, the largest search for "heavy" dark matter, ruled out the existence of light forms of dark matter and "groped" the first hints of the existence of unexpectedly heavy particles of this mysterious substance, project participants said

Unusual discrepancies in the rate of expansion of the Universe in the first epochs of its life and today may indicate the existence of another type of bosons and the "fifth force of nature"

The study of several dozen galaxies located within a radius of several billion light years from our own has allowed the discovery of several black holes that are many times higher than our expectations about how large they can grow

When we look at the Universe, at all its planets and stars, galaxies and clusters, gas, dust, plasma, we see the same signatures everywhere

A flash in the constellation Scorpio seen by medieval Korean astrologers in 1437 helped confirm the theory of the nature of new stars

To our great regret, we do not have the opportunity to rewind time back and see how the Universe developed in the first minutes of its life. Using mathematics and observational data, the best minds on the planet build the most daring models

If you follow the news about the physics of the Universe, then for sure at least once, but came across the term "the power of an absolute black body"

The gravitational waves discovered by the detectors of the LIGO observatory could have arisen not during the merging of black holes, but as a result of the "collapse" of the so-called wormholes, tunnels in the fabric of space-time, physicists say in an article, published

Astrophysicists hope that over the next 12 months they will get something that no one else has been able to do. Something that can change or at least complement our understanding of the universe

For several weeks, rumors swirled that scientists had recorded gravitational waves - tiny ripples in space and time - a new type not associated with colliding black holes
