Secrets of space 2024, November

Most recently, we said goodbye to the Cassini spacecraft, which, after 13 years of faithful service to the orbit of Saturn and its satellites, descended directly into the abyss of the atmosphere of the giant planet

Enceladus, Saturn's potentially habitable moon, experienced a catastrophic collision with a large object in the past that turned its axis of rotation 55 degrees, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus is on everyone's lips since NASA's announcement last week

Explorers of space not only consider Mars as a possible haven for other life - liquid oceans trapped under ice caps are found on some other moons in the solar system. Chris McKay, for example, has a crush on Mars

Scientists from NASA report the discovery of new evidence of the existence on the icy moon of Saturn, Enceladus, conditions for supporting life. In the geysers erupting into space from the surface of the satellite, the researchers found hydrogen molecules

Just the same terrestrial landscapes are now and then photographed by the American interplanetary station Cassini, located near Saturn

Flying to the Red Planet is a priority for the global space industry, says NASA CTO David Miller

Astronomer Guillem Anglada-Escudé suggested that the distant planet Proxima b could have clouds, oceans, and even plants. With the question of how realistic this is, AiF.ru turned to the Russian colleague of the scientist Alexander Ivanov

As paradoxical as it may sound, our solar system is of little interest to humans

Astronomers at California State University at San Francisco have discovered an exoplanet with a bizarre elongated orbit that is characteristic of comets

European astronomers have discovered an extremely unusual exoplanet in whose atmosphere clouds of titanium oxide hang - - the strongest greenhouse "gas" capable of heating its upper layers to hellishly high temperatures, and published the results of their observations in

US space agency NASA has figured out the origin of the strange "black spot" on the planet Jupiter

Observations from the Juno spacecraft showed that Jupiter's Great Red Spot goes hundreds of kilometers deep and is getting hotter

The Great Red Spot is the largest atmospheric vortex found in the solar system. Scientists have been observing the BKP for several centuries and notice how the vortex changes its size and shades

The once rarefied atmosphere of Jupiter became denser and this factor influenced the strengthening of the gas giant's gravitational field

Astronomers have concluded that titanium oxide and vanadium oxide is snowing on the planet Kepler-13A b 1,730 light years from Earth

Jupiter is the most interesting object in the solar system. This giant ball of gas is a thousand times larger than the Earth in volume and about three hundred times in mass. Most likely, it does not have a solid surface

The earth revolves around the sun. Mars revolves around the Sun. Venus, Mercury, Neptur, Uranus, and Saturn - also. The moon and the International Space Station revolve around the Earth. But with the giant planet Jupiter, everything is somewhat more complicated

Today the space agency has posted the first photographs of the Great Red Spot on the web - a huge vortex on Jupiter, first photographed by Juno from an altitude of only 9000 km

Astronomers from Canada, Japan and the United States have discovered the first retrograde asteroid orbiting the planet. The orbit and orbital period of 2015 BZ509 roughly corresponds to the orbit of Jupiter, but the celestial body is moving towards the planet

In the course of studying the surface of Jupiter, scientists from the United States and Great Britain stated that the previously identified Great Red Spot (BKP) - it is a "portal" through which thermal energy oozes from the bowels of the gas giant, reports Nature

Hawaii's Keck Observatory reports on a hypothetical space object of enormous mass that may exist in the solar system beyond Saturn's orbit

Recently, talk of colonizing Mars has become as popular on Earth as talk of oceans in the sky

The giant planet of our solar system, Jupiter, has long been considered the protector of the Earth

In the young solar system, which was shaken by numerous cataclysms, giant planets could be a source of stability

Jupiter could have become a star In 1610, Galileo discovered Jupiter and its four largest moons: Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede, which today are called Galilean satellites

When the robotic spacecraft flew close enough to Jupiter last year, a certain oddity was discovered that has been carefully studied all this time

In May, he will travel to the United States for a science fair to present it. Tenth grader Danil Panov from the Scrabble Lyceum "Erudite" now has his own star under the Australian sky. The luminary was named Dan V1 - in honor of the 16-year-old scientist from Russia

The American automatic interplanetary station Juno made it known that its equipment withstood the Earth - Jupiter flight

In the days of sailing, experienced captains knew the benefits of using underwater currents, which accelerated ships, thereby reducing travel time

Periodically, scientists studying the depths of space using modern orbiting telescopes and satellites, catch a strange kind of radio noise

When we think about space, in our imagination the image of either an empty room, indicated by impenetrable walls, or an endless sky, in which our gaze also rests against the blue, like a kind of dome, according to the ideas of the ancient

An international group of scientists from Italy and the United States found out that a mysterious radio source in the galaxy cluster Abell 2626 - these are turbulent vortices in the intergalactic medium that accelerate charged particles

A recent discovery by scientists was that organohalogen freon should indicate the presence of extraterrestrial civilizations on those celestial bodies whose composition includes this gas

A photo of a strange figure in a Martian crater in 2009 flew around the world. The image surprisingly resembles a person or his sculpture

NASA reported that the spots on the star - these are common phenomena that primarily occur during low solar activity. In their opinion, this object is capable of causing a global catastrophe on Earth

To take with you a piece of the ocean that covers the sixth moon of Jupiter, you do not need to descend to its surface

Israeli physicist Yosef Ashkenazi from Ben-Gurion University estimated the surface temperature of Europe - the smallest of Jupiter's four moons discovered by Galileo Galilei

American Rone Joseph from California, filed a lawsuit against NASA demanding to investigate the mysterious "wandering stone" that appeared out of nowhere in front of the Curiosity rover at the end of last month

Interview with Professor Jerzy M. Kreiner - astronomer, director of the Institute of Physics at Krakow Pedagogical University, head of the Astronomical Observatory on Mount Suhora in the Beskydy, author of several astronomy textbooks
