6 most "terrible" cosmic phenomena Bashny.Net

Space is full of fancy and even frightening phenomena, ranging from stars that suck the life out of their own kind to giant black holes that are billions of times larger and more massive than our sun.

1. Planet prizrak



Many astronomers say that the huge planet Fomalhaut in sunk into oblivion, but it seems to be alive again.

In 2008, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA announced the discovery of a huge planet that revolves around a very bright star Fomalhaut, located at a distance of only 25 light years from Earth. Other investigators later questioned this finding, saying that scientists have actually discovered a huge cloud of dust.

However, according to the latest data obtained from the Hubble detected the planet again and again. Other experts are carefully studying the system surrounding the star, so the planet of zombies can be buried more than once before on this issue will make the final verdict.

2-Stars zombi



Some stars are literally come to life brutal and dramatic way. Astronomers classify these stars as a zombie SNe Ia, which generate huge and powerful explosions that send an "internal" stars in the universe.

Type Ia supernovae explode from binary systems, which consist of at least one white dwarf - a tiny super-dense stars, ceases to pass through the synthesis of a nuclear reaction. White dwarfs are "dead," but as such they can not remain in the binary system.

They can come back to life, albeit briefly, in a giant supernova explosion with sucking the life out of its companion star, either by merging with it.

3 Stars-vampiry



Just like the vampires of fiction, some stars manage to stay young by sucking the vitality of the unfortunate victims. These stars are vampires known as "blue stragglers", and the "look" they are much younger than their neighbors, with whom they were formed.

When the temperature of the explosion is much higher, and the color is "much bluer." Scientists believe that this is the case, because they suck up a huge amount of hydrogen from nearby stars.

4. Giant black dyry



Black holes are objects may seem science fiction - they are extremely dense, and gravity in them is so strong that even light can not escape from their condition when approaching close enough.

But it is very real objects, which are quite common throughout the universe. In fact, astronomers believe that supermassive black holes at the center of most (if not all) galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Supermassive black holes are mind-boggling in its size.

5. Asteroids-ubiytsy



Cited in the preceding paragraph, the phenomenon may be terrifying or take an abstract form, but they do not pose a threat to humanity. What can be said about the larger asteroids that pass close to the Earth at a distance.

And even an asteroid the size of only 40 m can cause serious harm if it gets into town. Perhaps an asteroid impact is one of the factors that have changed life on Earth. It is expected that 65 million years ago it was an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. Fortunately, there are ways to redirect the dangerous space rocks away from the Earth, unless, of course, in time to detect danger.

6. Active solntse



The sun gives us life, but our star is not always so good. From time to time it occurs with serious storm that could have a potentially devastating effect on radio communications, satellite navigation and operation of electric systems.

Recently, like solar flares most often occur because as the sun entered its active phase in particular the 11-year cycle. The researchers expect that solar activity will reach its peak in May-2013.
