Secrets of space 2024, November
Radiation from cosmic rays is too high. A group of researchers has published data from a dosimeter installed on board the orbital probe of the ExoMars mission of the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft
The Curiosity rover, exploring the vastness of Mars, transmitted unique footage to Earth - - the so-called "dust devils" got into the lenses of the rover cameras - sand vortices that arise in the rarefied atmosphere of the Red Planet under the influence of solar heat
Scientists, when asked why the Red Planet is so cold and lifeless, usually answer that this is due to the disappearance of the magnetic field, which happened about 4.2 billion years ago
"Let's take some large asteroid and push it against Mars!", - said scientists from the United States of America, who developed an innovative concept of terraforming the Red Planet
NASA specialists observed a powerful auroral glow on Mars, caused by the ejection of mass from the Sun's atmosphere on September 10, 2017
Astronomers, worried about the displacement of the Local Group galaxies, after long studies came to a disappointing conclusion: it turns out that all this time, a huge supercluster, being invisible to an observer from Earth, attracted galaxies to itself soon
After examining the data collected as a result of the Gaja satellite mission, astronomers have come to an amazing conclusion: it turns out that our galaxy is flooded with alien stars that have flown in from distant space
Astronomers have long been debating the "immense power" of black holes. One of the points of scientific controversy is the hypothetical assumption that a supermassive black hole is capable of engulfing the galaxy in which it is located
Four billion years ago, according to research by planetary scientists at the University of Oxford, Mars was a humid planet with an oxygen atmosphere
Our big home, the solar system, has been around for several billion years. And most of the time of its existence, as far as the research data can be judged, it remained practically unchanged
Why waste billions of dollars in space exploration when billions of people live below the poverty line here on Earth? You've probably heard the excuse. The space program brings us useful innovations and inventions
The infinity of the endless Cosmos amazes the human imagination. The part of the Universe visible from Earth contains only one hundred billion galaxies, each of which contains about one hundred billion stars
Are there technologies for this right now? And how to raise a child from a frozen embryo using a robot and a dog?
A group of astronomers recorded a strong burst of activity on Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, in March last year
Scientists have developed a new unique project to colonize Mars. It consists of buildings resembling trees, that is, with a dome above the surface of the red planet and with a root system of tunnels underground
A small jump into space, away from Earth - and you will find yourself on a terrestrial planet orbiting the closest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri
The living conditions on Proxima Centauri B turned out to be quite bearable. Proxima Centauri b was recently discovered near the closest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri. It is just over 4 light years away. Can you ever fly
Scientists at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK have suggested that Proxima Centauri, which is the closest star to Earth after the Sun, could have been stolen from its system
The discovery of the planet Proxima b in 2016 was a real sensation
American physicists have found out what would happen to the Earth's atmosphere if it orbited the star Proxima Centauri in approximately the same orbit as the exoplanet Proxima b
Astronomer David Kipping from Columbia University (USA) calculated the parameters of the solar sail, with which you can go to Proxima Centauri - the closest star to the Sun. The corresponding preprint is available in the edition of "Lenta.ru"
When we think about whether aliens exist or not, we usually imagine them on an Earth-like planet orbiting somewhere around a distant star. Hardly anyone thinks that they live in space itself
Planet Proxima b, which is in one of the closest star systems to us, has become an achievable goal of the Breakthrough Starshot project
The red dwarf Proxima Centauri, belonging to the star system Alpha Centauri and located at a distance of 4.25 light years from us, has discovered the planet Proxima Centauri b, and it may have liquid water and other conditions for
When astronomers announced the discovery of an Earth-sized exoplanet 5 light-years away, the main issue was - can we colonize her?
In August of this year, scientists, barely holding back tears of joy, announced the discovery of the Earth-like planet Proxima b, located in the nearest star system
The winner of the competition organized by NASA has been announced. Its participants were to develop a project for a house in which members of the expedition that reached Mars could live and work. 165 participants were involved in the Martian settlement
In 10-20 years, mankind will receive an answer to the question of extraterrestrial civilizations. A pair of huge planets, flooded with water, was discovered by astronomers. Exploring the constellation Lyra, experts have discovered an unknown star system there
American scientists have come to the conclusion that life on an exoplanet can exist even if oxygen is not present in its atmosphere, but instead of it methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor will be found
How are they looking for planets in the habitable zone, what conditions are necessary for the formation of life, and what is interesting about the discovery of the exoplanet Proxima b? The habitable zone, which in English is called the habitable zone, - this is an area in space with the most favorable conditions
From the colonization of Venus (the planet of Love, which medieval astronomers called Lucifer), scientists of the 20th century refused because of its complete unsuitability for human life
The further and the longer time people fly away from the Earth, the more they will need the ability to grow plants for food production, restore the composition of breathing air, to restore psychological
What are exoplanets and why is everyone looking for them? With enviable regularity in recent years, NASA has convened press conferences at which they talk about new discovered planets somewhere beyond all imaginary limits
Our days on Earth are numbered. Great minds predict that humanity should resettle itself to other planets if it wants to avoid complete extinction due to some probable natural disasters
The German scientist proposed sending ships with cells and genes to the nearest exoplanets, from which life could appear. German scientist Claudius Groß from the University of Frankfurt
Scientists have been talking about the resettlement of mankind to another planet for a long time. It is important to understand that for the implementation of such a task, a number of very important criteria are required, with which we invite you to familiarize yourself
For a long time, scientists around the world have been working to find methods for colonizing the Red Planet. And with another loud statement, scientists said that they managed to reveal the secret of the terraforming of Mars
Have you ever wondered if humans can live on planets other than Earth? With so many star systems and planets in the Universe, the likelihood that we will find other habitable planets is very high
In connection with the Mars One project, within which it is planned to colonize Mars, scientists decided to tell what it will be like to live on the Red Planet
The spacecraft will not save the astronauts. Everyone, everywhere, is talking about the colonization of the Red Planet. This topic is becoming more popular than show business, and with each new discovery it only spins the intrigue around the question: is it possible to populate Mars
