Scary stuff
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. Below are the most terrible things in space. Planet - the specter 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 just 25 light years from Earth. Other investigators later questioned this finding, saying that scientists have actually found displayed a giant cloud pyli.
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. Zombies - Stars Some stars literally come to life brutal and dramatic way. Astronomers classify these stars - zombies as supernovae of type Ia, which generate huge and powerful explosions that send an "internal" stars in Vselennuyu.
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. Stars - Just as vampires and vampires of fiction, some stars manage to stay young by sucking the vitality of the unfortunate victims. These stars - vampires are known as "blue stragglers", and the "look" they are much younger than their neighbors, with whom they were sformirovany.
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 huge amounts of hydrogen from the neighboring stars. Giant black holes 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 him close enough rasstoyanie.
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. Scientists have recently discovered two black holes the mass of each of which is equal to the mass of 10 billion Suns of our. Unfathomable cosmic black If you're afraid of the dark, finding in deep space is clearly not for you. It is a place "at Black", located very far from comforting home fires. Space is black, according to the scientists, because it pustoe.
Despite the trillions of stars scattered throughout the cosmos, many molecules are at a great distance from each other to bounce and scatter. Spiders and broom witch Heaven inhabited by witches, glowing skulls and all-seeing eye, in fact you can imagine any object. All of these forms we see in a diffuse collection of glowing gas and dust, called nebulae, are scattered throughout Vselennoy.
Visualizations, appears before us, are examples of special events, in which the human brain recognizes the shape of random images. Asteroids killers 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 rasstoyanii.
Experts say that the asteroid, a width of 1 kilometer has the power to destroy the collision of our planet. And even an asteroid the size of only 40 meters can cause serious damage if it enters the village. The impact of an asteroid is one of the factors that influences life on Earth. It is likely that 65 million years ago it was an asteroid the size of 10 kilometers has destroyed the dinosaurs. Fortunately for us, the scientists scanned the celestial rock, and there are ways to redirect the dangerous space rocks away from the Earth, unless of course time to detect danger. Solar activity the sun gives us life, but our star is not always so good. She played with serious storms from time to time, which could have a potentially devastating effect on radio communications, satellite navigation and operation elektrosetey.
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 2013.
