The planets around neutron stars are made up mostly of carbon, which turns into diamond under pressure

Arthropod Martians are visible in the images sent by the Curiosity research vehicle.The ranks of virtual archaeologists, paleontologists and biologists - usually frivolous people who look for something unexpected in images from other planets - have been joined by a very serious scientist: professor-entomologist William Romoser of Ohio University

"Ultramassive" black holes with masses of tens of billions of suns can be found in the Universe more often than it seems, although astronomers cannot understand how they managed to grow to such gigantic sizes

Researchers have created the most accurate map of dark matter in our universe. The team studied over 26 million galaxies. The map will help you understand what dark matter is made of and learn more about another mysterious phenomenon called dark energy

Scientists have been looking for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations for 60 years, but so far to no avail. It all started in 1959 with the idea of the British Giuseppe Cocconi and the American Philip Morisson, who published an article on the possibilities of radio communication with the inhabitants of other planets. The

On July 6, 2020, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory writes the following about this:- Salik.bizThis is where the official information about the comet ends, but questions about the comet remain.nFor example, where has it been seen that there was some kind of volcanic activity inside the five-kilometer cliff, because the comet was seen through an infrared orbiting telescope?

Humanity has long been frightened by the possibility of collisions of asteroids and comets with our planet. So far, we could observe how small cosmic bodies reach the Earth and rarely small objects pass through the atmosphere that are not capable of causing visible damage to human civilization

The short-period comet "Churyumova - Gerasimenko", discovered in 1969 by Soviet astronomers Klim Churyumov and Svetlana Gerasimenko, is one of the most mysterious "non-planetary" cosmic bodies known to man. In 2014, the European automatic interplanetary station Rosetta discovered molecules of 16 organic compounds on it, which instantly gave rise to rumors about the possible interaction of the comet with certain life forms, that is, in fact, aliens

There are many things in our solar system that revolve around the sun - that is, they are in its orbit. The Earth revolves around the Sun in 365 days

Exactly one hundred and ten years ago, the Tunguska meteorite fell in Siberia, destroying an area of forest the size of Hong Kong. RIA Novosti tells how much mankind has come close to creating global planetary defense systems and taming guests from space

An interesting hypothesis was put forward by scientists several decades ago, analyzing the clearly anomalous behavior of some comets. So, they suggested that some asteroids and comets were disguised as controlled ships of extraterrestrial civilizations

Astronomers annually record hundreds of tiny celestial bodies passing in close proximity to the Earth. Some are of interest to science, others can be a potential threat to the planet

Scientists found that the first interstellar asteroid to enter the solar system accelerated from time to time

The Parker spacecraft has entered the solar corona and is photographing jets of plasma there. The dream of scientists who have been waiting for six decades to look at the solar corona from the inside is gradually coming true

Images and data from the Mars-Express probe show that in the distant past, the entire Mars was surrounded by a network of large reservoirs and underground reservoirs of moisture, whose traces were preserved at the bottom of the largest craters and crevasses of the planet

Something emits a strange twinkle in the center of our home galaxy. Astronomers claim that more diffuse gamma rays are observed in this area than we can directly observe - and scientists have been trying for years to explain this phenomenon

Inside the halo of our Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have discovered the tiny, ancient star J0023 + 0307. At first glance, it might seem that for your age and location - this is a completely ordinary star

A team of researchers from the Institute of Space Sciences of the University of Barcelona, Spain, and the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, discovered, after analyzing data collected by the Gaia space mission, substructures within the Milky

Did you know that our Milky Way galaxy is not such a peaceful place? So, right in its very center is a giant black hole, which is almost 5 million times more massive than our Sun! Despite its colossal size, this black hole is still a relatively calm object, compared to the same formations in neighboring galaxies

Space topics are one of the most interesting to study these days

Mankind at all times observed unusual luminous objects that appeared in the earthly firmament and had a strange, mysterious, sometimes even frightening appearance

Astronomers at the University of Minnesota at Duluth and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences have discovered a new class of ring-shaped galaxies

Ufologists publish shocking news about the planet Nibiru several times a year. As if she is approaching the Earth and poses a serious threat to all of humanity.Today there are reliable facts, they say that the existence of the mysterious Nibiru has not been proven

Scientists at the Institute for Quantum Gravity Research have asked a very interesting scientific question. They decided to figure out how real the reality, people and everything that surrounds them is. They do not exclude that everything that people are, everything that they know, as well as all the events that occur, do not actually exist physically, but are a very complex simulation of the Universe, which consciously imitates its own existence

“In 1945, local time, a primitive species of pre-intelligent primates on planet Earth detonated the first thermonuclear device. Unbeknownst to them, they created an echo in a super-cosmic web used for non-local communication and transmigration of souls by the civilizations of the Trans-galactic Union, a network that more mystical races call the "body of God."

On June 30, 2020, a study was published in the British scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, according to which a star disappeared from the Kinman dwarf galaxy.According to astronomers, we can talk about the so-called Luminous blue variable (LBV) - a pulsating blue supergiant with a mass of about 100 solar, and the luminosity of the Sun by 2

I think that everyone knows about the Fermi paradox, about the absence of traces of the activities of developed civilizations in the visible part of the Universe. I have always been interested in this topic in terms of radio emissions (i.e., the fact of their non-detection until now)

According to the new hypothesis, the universe simulates its own existence in a "strange loop". An article published by scientists at the Institute for Quantum Gravity Research argues that the hypothesis is based on the theory of panpsychism, according to which everything in nature is animate

One of the fundamental problems of modern geology / cosmology is the so-called chondrules, or chondrules - starting from the more correct English version of chondrules.- Salik.bizChondrules are small (up to a millimeter in diameter) crystalline formations in meteorites

The possibility of intelligent life in the universe is extremely small A mathematical model developed by Professor Andrew Watson of the University of East Anglia suggests that the possibility of life on planets like Earth

On the eve of the rover Spirit, exploring the red planet, sent to Earth very interesting photos. In one of the images at magnification, you can clearly see the human figure

The Japanese research complex Kaguya confirmed the presence of zones with anomalously low gravity on the far side of the Moon and studied their structure in detail

A new documentary, The Principle, released in October 2014, challenged 400 years of faith in the Copernican Principle by providing shocking new scientific evidence that Earth has a special place in space. The film sparked an insane media smear campaign and a storm of controversy as angry academics fiercely defended their position

I think it is no secret to anyone today that our planet - from the very moment of its birth, about 4.5 billion years ago - is constantly being bombarded by real meteorites. Of course, the situation today is fundamentally different from what it was billions of years ago, but meteorites still fall on our planet

A strange sign was found in one of the planet's craters. The American Messenger probe, which flew over the planet closest to the Sun just 200 kilometers away on January 14, gave an interesting picture

Dear readers, I want to draw your attention to some very interesting facts about our satellite Moon.We are all used to thinking that we know absolutely everything about the Moon. Its size, mass, distance from the Earth. The moon has the shape of a ball, has no atmosphere, no life, no water

Looking through archives of data collected from telescopes and satellites at different times, astronomers discovered an unknown and powerful radio signal from space that arrived at Earth in 2001

Ken Johnston, a former employee of the NASA photo service, will talk about what the Americans found on the moon more than 40 years ago and why they kept this information secret

Venus, our closest neighbor in the solar system, may have been inhabited in the distant past. Or even in the present. At least some non-protein form of life is theoretically capable of existing today in the extremely aggressive conditions of the "greenhouse effect" of Venus, scientists are sure

The closest celestial body to our planet is the Moon. In school textbooks it is written that this is a natural spherical satellite of the earth, which makes a full revolution around it in about twenty-seven and a half days. At the same time, there is a huge amount of facts related to this cosmic object that defy logical explanation
