Planets, stars, galaxies and even their clusters revolve in the Universe. The latter is not known for certain, which is why many scientists believe that the phenomenon ends on these huge structures. Meanwhile, cosmologists from the Institute of Astrophysics. Leibniz in Potsdam believe: even cosmic filaments – giant “tubes” from galaxies, rotate. “There are […]

The first generation of photos of Ganymede – Jupiter’s giant icy moon
Interplanetary automatic station Juno, which is exploring the Jupiter system, sent the first two images of Ganymede – the largest satellite not only of its planet, but also in the entire solar system. Photos are posted on the mission subsite on the NASA portal. The first flight of the probe over Ganymede took place […]
An unknown source of energy is seen in a new panorama of the center of our galaxy – photo
American scientists stitched together 370 separate images and observations of the center of our galaxy in different spectra (mainly X-ray), obtaining an image of unprecedented clarity and completeness. An unknown energy source is visible in this mosaic, the Chandra X-ray Observatory press service writes. The center of the Galaxy is relatively close to us, […]
A cosmic photon with a monstrous energy registered: 1.4 quadrillion electron volts
The Large Alpine Air Showers Observatory in Sichuan in southwestern China reported a photon with the highest energy ever observed, 1.4 petaelectronvolts (1.4 x 1015 eV). Such a discovery could lead to a serious change in the established ideas about our Galaxy, writes the press service of LHAASO. The results of the study will also […]
Humanity Will Launch Interstellar 1,000 Times Farther Than Record-breaking Voyagers
American and European scientists have developed and intend to assemble the Interstellar interstellar probe. Its task is to go beyond the solar system and transmit information about what is happening at a distance of about 1000 times farther than from the Sun to the Earth, writes the European Union of Earth Sciences. The project […]
NASA Showed The Brainwashing World Of The “hypnotic Dance” Of A Pair Of Supermassive Black Holes: Video
The US Aerospace Administration showed a visualization of what a pair of supermassive black holes looks like in a binary system. The video shows how these unusual cosmic objects distort the rays of light emitted by their accretion disks – “whirlpools” of gas heated to high temperatures during the prolonged fall of matter to the […]
A Probe Near Jupiter Showed A Grandiose Light Storm In The Atmosphere Of A Gas Giant: Video
Interplanetary automatic station Juno, which is in orbit of Jupiter, has shed light on the origin of polar “light shows” in the atmosphere of the gas giant due to the ultraviolet spectrograph on board. This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory with reference to a publication in the AGU Advances magazine. The so-called […]
A giant flashing light was seen in space: a black hole is gradually “biting off” from a star – video
Astronomers have discovered and studied 20 recurring flares 570 million light years away – the ASASSN-14ko phenomenon. Using data from two telescopes (Swift Observatory and TESS), they concluded that a supermassive black hole in the galaxy ESO 253-3 generates the cosmic “flasher”, which gradually absorbs a star trapped in a gravitational trap. The center […]
