Solved the riddle of the galaxy Henize 2-10
© Afrim Constantin –
For some time there was talk of this mysterious black hole found at the center of the galaxy 30 million light from us. The researchers come with new confirmations and future observations that will be able to understand more about the birth of galaxies in the early Universe. In 2011: the galaxy Henize 2-10 hides

New record set at flash emission

The observations of NASA’s Swift satellite have seized a great flash of emission from the head of the class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients, during which this source has exceeded 10 times their own personal record of brightness, and even the theoretical maximum limit brightness expected for these sources. This result, obtained by a team
More awareness for IYL 2015

The light pollution of the night sky is now a growing specter that UNESCO, the IAU and many institutions, not only scientific, worldwide seek to remedy, at least by sensitizing young people and non-experts on the damage of energy consumption for the health and for the environment.

The mystery of the ‘cold spot’ in the CMB
© Afrim Constantin –
An international collaboration of researchers may have found the solution to the mystery of the so-called Cold Spot visible in the map of the cosmic background radiation. The observations suggest that it is a huge region of the sky where the density of galaxies is much lower than that typical of the space observable. The
Black holes of intense magnetic field

Recent observations help astronomers understand the structure and the formation of the massive population of the center of galaxies and jets twins plasma high speed that they often emit from the poles. The Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA) ESO in Chile has revealed a very powerful magnetic field, much more than all those
Neutrinos polar ‘quick change’

Experiments conducted at the South Pole have allowed us to study the transformation of neutrinos produced in the Earth’s North Pole before reaching the other end of the globe. It is a result that allows not only to observe these effects with more details, and unprecedented, but also to derive valuable clues on their physical
Distance in exoplanets – a problem?

The space telescope NASA is special because it is the first to take measurements of parallax in microlensing to accurately calculate the distance of distant planet. In this case, OGLE-2014-BLG-0124 was observed at 13,000 years light from us. Using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and the Warsaw Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile (as part
