Super-dense neutron stars and their secrets

Scientists have new clue to the strange operation of neutron stars - these objects are so dense that they compress the mass of several suns in the space of less than a terrestrial city.

Neutron stars are born when a massive star runs out of fuel for nuclear fusion and decay. They cast off its outer layers, and their nuclei are compressed by gravity and become denser and denser.

Ariane-5 led 2 satellites into orbit

July 25 this year at 23:54 MSK to launch space complex ELA-3 launch vehicle launched from Kourou Ariane-5 with satellites Alphasat (Inmarsat XL) and INSAT-3D.

After 2:25 minutes after the launch rocket boosters separated at 3:18 min folded fairing / TD / 9 minutes separated the first stage, after 27 minutes, the spacecraft Alphasat separated from the 2nd stage of the launch, and by 29 th INSAT-3D. Both satellites successfully uncovered the solar panels / SB /.

The new film Gravity will talk about dizzying disaster ... in orbit!

If you have ever been a witness or, God forbid, any member of a transport accident, you know that even minor accidents can result in severe and terrible consequences.

Desperate to regain control over their own movements, at this point you may feel that this is not possible, 

Shed light on the brightest objects in the universe

The Dartmouth team of astrophysicists discovered the extent to which the quasars and black holes can influence their own galaxy.

The team plans to publish an article in Astrophysical Journal, which details made ​​the discovery and research based on the constant lookout for 10yu quasars. Researchers have documented enormous capacity for radiation from quasars, which reach for many thousands of light-years distant, even beyond their own galaxies.

NASA wants to exceed the speed of light

Nobody is surprised that NASA wishes to exceed the speed of light, which to our knowledge is the fastest in the universe. Most potentially habitable planets found the U.S. space agency are several light years away, meaning that for many years we would need to travel at the speed of light to reach them. This is no doubt a problem, because currently we are not able to achieve even a tenth of the speed of light, although the agency supergeniuses already working on it.

Physicist Harold G. White hopes to use speed travel "warp" (or push warp ) to exceed the speed of light.
