A huge black hole could be being ejected from its galaxy at several million kilometers per hour, according to a study carried out by scientists from the Smithsonian Institute of Astrophysics (USA). These findings also verify the existence of gravitational waves predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity.
An international team of scientists has carried out a study on Uranus that reveals that the wind on the planet can reach gusts of more than 900 kilometers per hour. The new work, presented at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, has been made thanks to new images obtained thanks to a new technique at the Keck Observatory (Hawaii), which have revealed a "strange" climate on Uranus.
A group of European astronomers has just discovered a planet of similar mass to Earth orbiting a star in the Alpha Centauri system, which is also the closest of these characteristics ever discovered. To achieve this finding, the researchers used the HARPS instrument installed at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
The European Space Station (ESA) is going to carry out an ambitious project that consists of nothing less than surveying one billion stars within our galaxy. It is called the Gaia mission and it will take off at the end of 2013 from the European Spaceport of French Guiana.
Where does the Moon come from? From the earth. According to a new theory developed by Harvard researchers, our satellite was part of Earth itself until its mass was shot into space during a collision with another body. This explains why our planet and its satellite have such a similar chemical composition, the authors conclude in the journal Science.
Female rats that have ever given birth respond differently to cocaine than those who have never been mothers, as revealed by a group of researchers from the University of Michigan (USA) at the meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans (USA).
If you don't think the Sun is shining enough on this planet, you can always move to PH1, a newly discovered exoplanet with four stars. It has been discovered by a team of amateur astronomers, in collaboration with experts from Yale University, who explain that it revolves around a binary star system that, in turn, is orbited by a second pair of distant stars, which gives rise to an "extremely rare" planetary configuration.
You don't need to be Jason Bourne to evade a computer that watches us through the images of a video camera. Just come across someone who looks like us, albeit vaguely, and the machine will probably follow another lead. However, this possibility of "fooling the" vigilante could come to an end.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
