Most people, when asked about the greatest threat to human existence, would probably think about nuclear war, global warming, or a large-scale pandemic

Long space flights and even just staying in near-earth orbit can hardly be called beneficial to health

A multinational team of physicists had been working on a project to simulate the universe for several years, and finally it came to an end. Meet IllustrisTNG, arguably the most complex model of the universe to date

Yes, that's right, Pluto has an atmosphere. Well, Pluto's atmosphere is not an ocean of air like it is here on Earth, but just a thin shell of gases surrounding a dwarf planet in one part of its orbit around the Sun

It is interesting to read about it - beautiful pictures are obtained in the head. We will never see this, we will never find out if this is actually the case. But assumptions, theories, fantasies are beautiful. Why is it incomprehensible to man and mankind

The unusual thin rings of comets and dust that surround Fomalhaut and several other young stars remain stable due to the constant formation of small planets inside them, according to an article published in Astronomical

Scientists at Indiana University in Bloomington (USA) have found that a theoretical substance formed in the depths of neutron stars called nuclear pasta may be the most durable substance in the Universe

Future plans for space exploration from the American space agency NASA are sometimes intertwined with very bizarre fantasies. Nevertheless, they are always backed up by specific science

Mysterious ultrafast radio bursts, the nature of which still remains a mystery to scientists, may arise as a result of explosions of exotic primordial black holes that existed in the first epochs of the life of the universe, according to an article published in

The study describes a new generation of high-power laser experiments that provide the first absolute equation of state for iron under extreme pressure and density conditions. A team of researchers from Livermore National Laboratory

Dark matter research, like a china shop, has an elephant: a claim that's hard to believe, impossible to confirm, and surprisingly hard to explain

Think about everything that exists in the universe. Giant space furnaces like our Sun. Gas giants, next to which our planet will be just a dwarf. Rows of asteroids racing through empty space

Olympus (Latin Olympus Mons) is an extinct volcano on Mars, the highest mountain in the solar system

The moon was not the only satellite of the Earth - this conclusion was reached by a group of European and Israeli astronomers

In a new study published in the journal Science, scientists have achieved the rare event - proving that Albert Einstein was right and wrong at the same time

We love to watch films about space, but it is not always true to draw knowledge about life from them. So, in the films it is shown that a person, being in space without a spacesuit, can explode or freeze. Will the man explode?

Most people can only judge this by frames from science fiction films, so they are subject to an implausible myth. What will actually happen to humans in outer space?

In 2015, a star called KIC 8462852 made a big splash in the astronomical community with a series of fast-paced, unexplained events observed with NASA's Kepler Space Telescope

Russian-American astronomers have discovered new oddities in the behavior of the star KIC 8462852, whose periodic "blinking" and inexplicable drops in brightness were somehow connected with some invisible structures or objects in its orbit, they say

Earth has been wandering through space for about 4.5 billion years. She endures life most of this time

A mysterious object recently rewrote everything we thought and knew about black holes. First of all, a black hole must suck everything into itself, even light

Immediately two astrophysicists working in different corners of the Earth - John Lerndom of the University of Hawaii (USA) and Michael Hipsteck of the Institute for Data Analysis in Neukirchen (Germany) simultaneously stated that they were able to record unknown "pulsations of extraterrestrial

Back in 2012, according to the calculations of some scientists, the planet Nibiru was supposed to pass near the Earth, which would have caused pole displacement, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, violent hurricanes and huge tidal waves, another worldwide

A video released by NASA this week shows the well-known Orion Nebula from a new perspective. 3D visualization of the nebula allows the viewer to see newborn stars, gas and nebula dust from a bird's eye view

Now it is already known for certain that the Schiaparelli module of the ExoMars-2016 mission nevertheless crashed, crashing at high speed (about three hundred kilometers per hour) into the surface of the Red Planet

The blogger took a fantastic photo, but it was not without Photoshop.The Andromeda Nebula in our sky looks six times the size of the full moon. The user of Reddit (the most popular social network in the West) illustrated this paradox in a much more obvious way: he published a photo in which, in fact, everything is visible

Researchers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (Spain) have discovered an unusual evolution of the central star of a planetary nebula in our home galaxy

A team of NASA researchers have discovered unexplained excesses of gamma radiation in the Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31. These may be traces of dark matter, according to the agency's website

A study by a group of astrophysicists at the University of Texas and published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that an inhabited planet very similar to Earth could exist in a star system just 16 lights away

The closest neighboring galaxy to the Milky Way is Andromeda. It is significantly larger in the size of our galaxy and, according to various estimates, may have 2.5-5 times more stars than our Milky Way. It can be easily seen in the night sky from Earth

A mysterious anomaly was discovered on a panoramic image of the Apollo 16 mission taken on April 21, 1972, by a virtual ufologist who hosts the Paranormal Crucible channel on YouTube (see video below)

Tyler Glockner of the UFO Hunting Team presented three photographs taken from three different Apollo missions showing stunning lunar anomalies that have never been shown on the web (see video below)

Unusual formation on Jupiter, first recorded on July 19, 2009

Scientists use the 100-meter Green Bank telescope (West Virginia, USA) to study the star KIC 8462852, around which structures erected by aliens may be located

The theory of gravity, popular among physicists, is poorly applicable to the real world. Astronomers came to this conclusion by looking at what happens in the immediate vicinity of black holes

Ten galaxies in the vicinity of our own behave quite differently from what the dominant physical model predicts, and this makes some scientists talk about the need to modify it

Astrophysicists have found characteristic density fluctuations in the distribution of quasars located at redshifts from 0.8 to 2.2

On the list of the most pressing dangers that threaten our civilization, the expansion of the universe is somewhere at the very end. However, according to Dan Hooper, a physicist from Fermilab (USA), she should not be overlooked

“The find completely breaks our theory of the formation of the Universe, which can be called a catastrophic event for modern science. We still cannot believe our eyes and that we have found such a huge something

Everyone knows that the universe is expanding, but no one knows why - writes the site trashbox.ru, which publishes a theory created by Canadian physicists to explain the expansion of the Universe
