According to a new study carried out by an international team of astrophysicists from the University of Toronto (Canada), the University of York (USA) and Queen's University in Belfast (Northern Ireland) and thanks to the Kepler space telescope, have discovered evidence of daily weather cycles on six extrasolar planets. These variations are similar to Earth's cycles, albeit in different phases.
A team of astronomers from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville (USA) has discovered, thanks to the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), what appears to be the first known globular cluster about to germinate. It is an extremely massive cloud of molecular gas (it has 50 million times the mass of the Sun) but without the presence of stars. The study has been published in the Astrophysical Journal.
Penis worms are a group of marine invertebrates named for their shape so similar to that of the male genital organ. They lived about 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period, when they represented one of the most common organisms on our planet. These animals could reach lengths of up to 39 cm, and they possessed an extendable mouth with sharp hooks, teeth, and spines. It was a fearsome carnivorous worm that buried itself in sediment to catch its prey.
An international team of astronomers, led by scientists from Yale University and the University of California (USA), have found a galaxy that formed more than 13,000 million years ago and which, according to measurements, is the galaxy most distant ever known. A new record in the astronomical world. The study has been published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
A team of NASA researchers has devised an unmanned aircraft that uses an electric propulsion system to take off like a helicopter and fly like a conventional airplane. For this, the prototype, called Greased Lightning or GL-10, uses ten rotors, whose operation has been successfully tested at the Langley Research Center of this space agency, in Hampton, Virginia.
A software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California (USA) has discovered that the earthquake of magnitude 7.9 on the Richter scale that surprised and devastated Nepal on 25 April created waves of energy that penetrated the Earth's upper atmosphere, disrupting the distribution of electrons in the ionosphere or thermosphere, the area of the Earth's atmosphere permanently ionized due to photoionization of solar radiation.
A recent study carried out by the School of Medicine of the University of California (USA) concludes that cosmic rays can cause permanent brain damage, a finding with direct consequences on astronauts who are going to make long-term space travel . The study has been published in the journal Science Advances.
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.
