The mystery around the so-called "Face of the Moon" of our satellite has already been revealed thanks to a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.
The beginning of the astronomical autumn is marked by a total lunar eclipse that will take place next Wednesday, October 8. In the eclipse, the Earth, illuminated by the Sun, will create a long shadow that will completely cover our satellite.
A group of German and North American astronomers led by Arnaud Belloche, has discovered an organic molecule of isopropyl cyanide in a gigantic gas cloud located no less than 27,000 light years from Earth.
Water, that element so important for the achievement of life, may be more widespread in the universe than scientists thought. Now, a new study by the Carnegie Institute in Washington (USA) concludes that half of the water in our solar system was formed long before the appearance of the Sun. This means that there may be water everywhere and there may also be life.
At least mathematically. This is the controversial conclusion of the study presented by researcher Laura Mersini-Houghton of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (USA) and whose approach was already published last June in the journal Physics Letters B.
An international team of scientists led by exoplanet expert Drake Deming from the University of Maryland (USA), has detected water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet that is four times larger than Earth (that is, similar to Neptune). , with a mass of 26 times that of our planet and located in the Constellation of Cygnus about 124 light years away.
Last March, the media reported a far-reaching scientific news: the BICEP2 telescope team had detected wrinkles in the sky that were probably gravitational waves.
It is the most difficult to study and little known transition stage of what will later become a planetary system. The astronomers who have detected these signals or signs of formation are part of an international team of scientists that has the participation of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC).
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.
