NASA's Voyager probes have really managed to go where no one has been before. On a silent glide to the stars, nearly 15 billion kilometers from Earth, they are sending news from the unexplored reaches of the solar system.
A study of 200,000 galaxies over five years, dating back seven billion years in cosmic time, has yielded one of the best confirmations that dark energy is driving our accelerating universe.
On the nights of May 5 and 6, it will be possible to observe, especially from the southern hemisphere, fragments of Halley's Comet that will brush the Earth's atmosphere as it passes our planet, as reported by NASA's Meteorite Office.
The 'Space Wx' application, developed for the iPhone and supervised by NASA, provides real-time information about radiation exposure from solar activity and other sources from space, when we fly from an altitude of 5,000 meters .
Curing a simple cold or finding relief from a headache can be more difficult for an astronaut in space than on the ground. According to a study by NASA scientists, the effectiveness of drugs such as pain relievers and antibiotics decreases in space.
Researchers at the CSIC have found a common link in the origin of the atmospheres of the Earth and the satellite of Saturn Titan. Analysis of data obtained by the Cassini-Huygens mission suggests that the chemical evolution of both atmospheres was marked by the last great bombardment of asteroids and comets during the formation of the Solar System, about 3.9 billion years ago.
Three NASA space observatories, Hubble, Swift and Chandra, have teamed up to study one of the most intense cosmic explosions in the history of astronomy. One week after the outbreak, high-energy radiation continues to appear and disappear in the constellation Draco, where it was discovered by the Swift telescope on March 28.
More than 1,235 exoplanets await exploration outside the solar system, according to scientists who run NASA's Kepler space telescope. This graph, created by Jasson Rowe of NASA's Ames Research Center, shows the candidate stars ordered by size, with transiting exoplanets ahead of them.
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.
