On March 18, 1965, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov went into outer space for the first time, which cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyaev experienced. This was not just an experiment

Scientists of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of the University of Cambridge (UK) described the evolution of the scale factor of the Universe in the framework of the concept of cyclic cosmology

For people, the moon has always been associated with a lifeless celestial body located next to our planet, but for scientists it remains a huge anomalous zone in need of research

From a close distance, the figurine, which stands in the crater of Gusev with an outstretched hand, looks like a human. A year has passed since the time when the world was shaken by an amazing find made on Mars by the American robot Spirit

At the last RAS Presidium, space threats and protection were discussed - - or rather, insecurity - from them

Duncan Forgan from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, published a paper explaining how a communication system between advanced civilizations in space can work

Remember what Archimedes said: "Give me a foothold and I will turn the Earth." It is clear that he spoke from the point of view of the application of science. But in fact, some scientists wanted to move the Earth for completely practical purposes

The lost magnetic field of Mars could "drown" in the core of the planet

Neutrinos have no mass and practically do not interact with matter. However, these invisible particles changed the course of the universe

An interesting artifact was discovered by an amateur ufologist in a recent photograph from the surface of Mars, provided by the space agency NASA. On the hillside, he examined the profile of a human face (see video below)

An international group of researchers, including physicists from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, "brought back to life" the previously "debunked" theory of gravity, arguing that the movement of stars inside a dwarf galaxy occurs only

Around Alpha Centauri, which is known to be our closest space neighbor, a unique exoplanet orbits, representing a world similar to ours, but only better

Antimatter has long been the subject of science fiction. In the book and film "Angels and Demons" Professor Langdon tries to save the Vatican from an antimatter bomb

One of the main problems of space exploration is not so much the lack of oxygen and food (all this is successfully synthesized and grown on the same ISS today), but space radiation

Participants of the Event Horizon Telescope project are preparing to obtain the first "photographs" of a supermassive black hole in the center of the Galaxy using the largest ground-based radio telescope-interferometer, the area of the "virtual" dish of which exceeds the dimensions of Ze

Astronomers have prepared exciting news for all lovers of unusual space spectacles. Asteroid 2016 EH157, the size of a skyscraper, will approach our planet in April, according to scientists

What is life? Trying to answer this question often leads people to a dead end. The impasse begins with the fact that in any language there are many definitions of the word "life". For example, here are three uses with different meanings. Is there life on Mars

The Curiosity rover found unusual sand deposits on Mount Sharp, suggesting liquid water has existed on the surface of the Red Planet for much longer than scientists believed, according to an article published in the journal Geophysical Research

In the meteorite rock of the Koryak Highlands in Chukotka, scientists discovered a quasicrystal formed in natural conditions - a solid body with an irregular type of symmetry

The Horizons probe will help find Planet X. This is the opinion of Lorenzo Iorio, an Italian astrophysicist. He suggested using a spacecraft in this study. The famous space station contains the REX radio spectrometer

A hundred years ago, a team of British scientists proved the truth of Einstein's theory of relativity by tracing the deflection of starlight during a total solar eclipse in May 1919. The article describes in detail what difficulties the participants in the experiment had to overcome, how the experiment itself went, and what was the result of its success

Legend has it that Albert Einstein spent his final hours on Earth scribbling on a piece of paper in a final attempt to formulate a theory of everything

American scientists have discovered hundreds of crescent-shaped depressions on the surface of Mars, the so-called ghost dunes

It should be noted that the system of giant lines and drawings of Nazca (southern Peru) is still controversial in scientific circles - who made them and why? After all, you can see them only from a bird's eye view

In 1963, the US government launched a satellite program aimed at monitoring the implementation of the nuclear test ban treaty in outer space, atmosphere and under water. Vela satellites became the base of space monitoring

Recently, NASA, the American space agency, posted on its website a short - two-minute film filmed by space probes that have been working in lunar orbit for over a year

Long-term observations of the health of the ISS crew have shown that life in space does not lead to the development of anemia and other problems with the circulatory system, which could make a trip to Mars dangerous for the health of astronauts, the article says

The Martian atmosphere has nearly ideal conditions for producing oxygen from atmospheric carbon dioxide using low-temperature plasma. This could come in handy for life support of future manned missions to the Red Planet

If you promise to send the first colonizers to Mars by 2026, be prepared to face skepticism

We may not even notice this, but our planet revolves around the Sun at a speed of over 100,000 kilometers per hour. Moreover, our entire solar system moves inside the spiral arms of the Milky Way at a speed of 850 thousand kilometers per hour
