4. HD 189733b Strange things that we have found in space lately



Blue hue of the planet can remind you of the world ocean, or a nice summer day. But do not be deceived: this huge gas giant rotates at the lowest orbit is very close to its star. There is no water, and it never will be. Temperature - 900 degrees Celsius, and the blue sky - a rain of molten glass.

Galaxy X, Indian astronomers detected almost entirely consists of mysterious dark matter. Saw her was only due to the influence of the surrounding galaxy stars. Scientists suggest that in front of them - the beginning of the creation of the biggest black hole in the universe.

6. Cloud Smith Strange things that we have found in space lately
