Last February, comet C / 2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) was showing itself, as it approached the Sun, as an extremely dusty comet, which developed a powerful tail visible from the southern hemisphere of our planet. Until March 10 (the day of its perihelion) it continued to approach Sol, and now that it is coming back, on its way back, it can also be observed from the northern hemisphere, including Spain. For this, the first days you will need optical (binoculars) or photographic help and, of course, a horizon free of obstacles and a transparent sky.
On February 15, 2013, an asteroid 50 meters in diameter will make a record of approach to our planet. We analyze the trajectory and characteristics of this rock that, although not impacting & aac
The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is about to end. That is why we bring you a photo gallery with the 10 best snapshots taken from different telescopes.
The Cassini spacecraft, which orbits Saturn to study its structure and components, encountered a strong solar wind explosion in which it identified particles with enormous acceleration energy, similar to that which takes place around the explosions of the supernovae.
A few hours ago, the fragments of a meteorite caused several injuries in central Russia, and these events coincide with the passage of the asteroid 2012DA14 through the Earth's orbit. Despite this, scientific studies reassure us, since, on average, the probability of dying due to the impact of an asteroid or a comet is 1 in 20,000.
On February 15, 2013, an asteroid will pass within two Earth diameters of our planet, which is a truly extraordinary approach. In this video produced by Chris Laurel and mounted by Cosmographia we can see the orbits of both the Earth and the asteroid DA14, as well as other planets in the Solar System. See how it will approach, how far it will pass and if there is any danger of collision.
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.
