This year we get the first image of a black hole. But it's not exactly
Astrophysicists hope that over the next 12 months, they will get what nobody could. Something that can change or at least Supplement our understanding of the understanding of the Universe. Black holes are astrophysical objects wit...
Astronomers have found one of the sources of mysterious radio signals
Fast radio bursts (FRB) are one of the most enigmatic mysteries in the Universe. Despite the fact that the absolute nature of all FRB astronomers still unknown, scientists seem to finally have found out what an amazing environment...
The mystery of the stars Tabby: no aliens, sorry
The strangest and most mysterious star in the known Universe has many names, but it is highly likely that she will soon lose most "unscientific" of them. The object KIC 8462852, he is the star Tabby, also known as "the star with t...

last Wednesday, scientists project a Breakthrough Listen directed gaze parabolic radio telescope green Bank National radio astronomy Observatory in the direction Omwamwi — the mysterious oblong space object, in fact the firs...
Astronomers have discovered an anomalous black hole
a Team of astronomers from Massachusetts Institute of technology have discovered the most distant from our planet supermassive . It is located in the center of the bright quasar, the light from which reached Earth after 13 billion...
10 most high-profile stories about space in 2017
Another year is coming to an end, and we still haven't found the aliens. Fortunately, during this time, there were many other very interesting events connected with the cosmos. Since then, we have been witnessing several unique co...
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet with an orbital period of 27 000 years
Each planet in our Solar system has considerably different from the rest of the orbital period of rotation around the Sun. For example, if the Earth's one revolution around the star takes exactly 365.25 days, the same Mars it take...
Discovered a very unusual supernova that exploded twice
usually, when a star enters a phase of a supernova, it is a blast... in fact, it is the end. However, the new discovery astronomers can force us to revise our understanding of how stars die. Scientists have discovered a star that ...
Aliens may be hiding in the oceans, says astronomer Alan stern
the Search for intelligent extraterrestrial life on other planets is a long-standing question. After decades since the beginning of this search was proposed several theories that attempt to explain the reasons for our failures in ...
The European southern Observatory announced "an unprecedented discovery" in space
last week, the European southern Observatory (ESO) whetted the Internet news about the "unprecedented discovery". And finally, the organization revealed that for the first time in history, astronomers observed gravitational waves ...
Astronomers have caught just 15 new fast radio pulses from space
At the end of last week, astronomers involved in the search for possible signs of extraterrestrial life, during 5 hours identified 15 very fast radio signals coming our way from tiny galaxies 3 billion light years from us. We have...
Astronomers have suggested another explanation for the unusual behavior of the stars Tabby
a Group of researchers under the leadership of Mario Scarcia of Columbia University of Antioquia has proposed a new explanation for the unusual cases of reduction in the brightness of stars K8462852 on the basis of recent observat...

Dim astronomical objects called brown dwarfs, less massive than our Sun but more massive gas giant Jupiter. They have the atmosphere with strong winds and massive clouds spotted form and consisting mainly of droplets of molten iro...
Astronomers have described the nature of the recent strange signals from space
last week about what astronomers of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico have been very strange signals from space coming from the small red dwarf star, scientists were puzzled by their real nature. And now, it seems the researc...
10 of the most interesting cosmic phenomena that were recently discovered
We know a lot about space, but since in the Universe everything is relative, then it is safe to say that about space, we know practically nothing. And not necessarily that it's bad, because each new discovery still continues to be...
Scientists have found a planet, the hotter most well-known us stars
Astronomers have discovered one of the most unusual at the moment exoplanets. It is a gas giant similar to our Jupiter, but located so close to its star that makes a complete revolution around it in just 1.5 days. As a result, the...
Solved a 40-year-old mystery of a strange radio signal from space
In August 1977, from space to Earth came a radio message from aliens. Precisely at that time, so many thought. The message contained one sentence: "Wow!" ("Wow!"). The signal was detected by astronomer Jerry Ayman while working on...
Astronomers have discovered a giant planet out of "foam"
Astronomers have discovered a giant exoplanet is larger than Jupiter, but has extremely low for this class of planets mass. But first and foremost interest to the object's composition, density similar to Styrofoam, which allowed h...

the universe is so vast that, statistically, it just have to be very similar to each other. Many of the stars, planets and other bodies, at least in part, or otherwise have similar characteristics. However, there are many of these...
Astronomers found the planet, contrary to the laws of planetary formation
According to a new study, one giant and distant world that was once described as "the planet that shouldn't be where she is" seems to have really formed, not where one would expect, and not from the outer material, which would hav...
