Noting the weather patterns of a brown dwarf


Hubble space telescopes and NASA's Spitzer investigated the stormy atmosphere of a brown dwarf called 2MASSJ22282889-431 026, creating the "climate map" far closer to this kind of cold orbs similar to stars. The forecast shows clouds planet-sized wind-driven involving these strange worlds.

Brown dwarfs are formed from the condensation of gas, as do the stars,but lack the necessary amount of mass to fuse atoms and energy.

Venus, ionosphere swells in its night side like comet


The ESA’s some unique observations of Venus through a period of low solar wind pressure, discovering that the planet's ionosphere swells in its night side, like the tail of a Comet.

The ionosphere is a weekly electrically charged gaseous region far above the main body of the planet's Atmosphere. The form and are partially controlled by the internal magnetic field of the planet.

Taimyr bacteria were able to live on Mars


US-Russian group of Scientists found the frozen bacteria of Taimyr bacteria, which can develop in the temperature, pressure and oxygen attentiveness matching to the Martian Atmosphere.

The paper was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and a summary of its results in Spiegel Online.

A structure of stars


The complicated filaments of dust and gas that make up this astrophysical nursery home to more than 600 stars in formation. This province was first observed by the Herschel space observatory of ESA.

The province colored blue nebula, known as W40, or Sharpless 2-64, is located 1,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Aquila,

As feline parasite infects humans


Czech biologist Jaroslav Flegrei is known for his statement that the common freeloader known as Toxoplasma (Toxoplasma gondii) is able to "manage" the human brain.

Toxoplasma is which usually affects cats, known with scientists through their "smart tactics." Coming from a cat in a rodent parasite makes him fearless, directing poor straight into the jaws of a cat. The freeloader multiplies in the cat, then the feces is disqualified, thus again can get to the rodent.

Flegrei discovered that people infected with the parasite, it is peculiar behavior like rats: slow reaction, lethargy and reduced fear. But until recently, scientists did not know the mechanism of the nervous system.

Life in thunderclouds


The storm clouds in the Earth's atmosphere found wealth microbial life.

Scientists investigated the chemical composition of hailstones. As a result, found several types of bacteria that are usually found in plants, and organic compounds that are commonly found in soil. Were bacteria, which produce pink pigment, which protects them from UV rays?

Manatee’s nebula looks like a giant fish


Scientists have called the nebula W50 Manatees. What was the reason for this?

Nebula Manatees only recently got its own name. Until recently, it was more commonly known under the designation simply W50 and SNR G039.7-02.0.

This nebula, which in shape look like a giant fish, nestled in 18 000 light-years from Earth in the equatorial constellation Aquila.
