Several flights near the surface of Saturn's moon


The Cassini spacecraft has recorded jets of water ice on several flights near the surface of Saturn's moon, Enceladus, which may indicate a favorable habitat for the existence of life. 
These geysers, which arise through cracks in the icy surface of Saturn's sixth moon, could reveal the existence of a vast underground sea. 
 "Cassini has flown several times through these particles and analyzed. We found that apart from water and organic material, there is salt in the particles of ice. Salinity is the same as that existing in the oceans of the Earth" Porco said.

Ultra Vista is a hidden treasure


The VISTA telescope of ESO has provided astronomers with the deepest image of the sky with ever larger field width created using infrared light. This new image of a small part of the sky, which may go unrecognized, the survey comes, UltraVista and reveals more than 200,000 galaxies. It's just a part of a large collection of images of all the polls VISTA, fully processed, now THAT is making available to astronomers around the world. UltraVista is a hidden treasure that is being used to study distant galaxies in the early universe as well as many other scientific projects. 

Probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the Solar System


Rocky planets not much larger than Earth are very common in the habitable zones around stars red weak. The international team believes that there must be tens of billions of such planets in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the Solar System. This is the first time directly measured the frequency of super-Earths around red dwarfs, which account for 80% of the stars of the Milky Way. An international team just to make this the first direct estimate of the number of light planets around red dwarf stars. To do this, have used observations made with the HARPS spectrograph installed at the 3.6-meter telescope at ESO (La Silla Observatory in Chile).

A dwarf galaxy that is about 70 million light years from Earth


Most galaxies in the universe are classified into three forms: elliptical, disc-and usually flattened, and irregular spiral arms. That is so strange Leda 074886, a dwarf galaxy that is about 70 million light years from Earth is rectangular or, as astronomers have discovered, like a bright emerald. 
"It's one of those things that just make you smile because it should not exist or, rather, did not expect to exist," says Alsiter Graham (Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia), lead researcher.

Mercury appears to be less mountainous than the Moon and Mars


According to an article published in the journal Science, Mercury appears to be less mountainous than the Moon and Mars and the bowels of the planet from the Sun, with deep reserves of iron sulfide, are very different from the others in our system. The publication includes two studies from the information sent by the spacecraft "Messenger" a year ago became the first artificial satellite of Mercury and has been making observations of the topography and gravitational field in the northern hemisphere .

70 millionaires expect the end of the world in a luxury bunker


70 millionaires builds a high-class underground Luxury bunker where dozens of rich can swim in the pool or watch movies while Earth succumbs under the effect of disasters or the threat of apocalyptic zombies. What was once a silo 53 meters deep will soon become a hotel armored, armed and luxuriously equipped for those who prefer not to spend the Day of Judgment exposed to all sorts of upheavals in the earth's surface.
Housed within the walls of 3 meters of concrete, the fourteen-story apartment design ultra withstand any disaster, from earthquakes of destructive solar flares, through terrorist attacks, starvation and deadly pandemics. Tenants, a maximum of 70 people, will have everything you need to live like kings.

In 2013 The Earth would be face a Solar Tsunami


An expert Scientist says, “We should prepare for a space storm does not look like a thousand years,". The world is increasingly dependent on electricity, therefore, more vulnerable.The current cycle of the star storms would peak next year. On April 16, the sun emitted a "bubble" the size of Jupiter, another sign of increased violent activity, whose peak is in 2013, hence the solar tsunami forecasts. Experts say that we are not prepared for the damage they cause.
