A little about the eternal, ships and winds... You can imagine a scale model of the solar system in your room. At this scale, Jupiter would be 5 cm from the Sun. Keep moving, say, to the right and imagine the relative distances. Saturn would be 10 cm from the Sun, Uranus would be 19 cm from the Sun, and Neptune would be 30 cm from the Sun. Little old Pluto is usually about 40 cm from the Sun. However, on this scale, the physical diameter of the solar system is much larger. The outer edge of the Oort Cloud, a vast shell made up of perhaps a trillion comets, would...

The OSIRIS-REx mission launched from Cape Canaveral on September 8, 2016 in the direction of asteroid Bennu. On December 3, 2018, the probe reached Bennu, revealing that the dark asteroid is a primordial, rock-covered world, about 500 m in diameter. On September 24, the spacecraft's primary mission ended when it flew past Earth and dropped the largest set of samples ever returned from an asteroid. The intact rocks will become a scientific treasure, a window into the early solar system that may provide clues to the origin of water and life on Earth. Despite the...

Astronomers have discovered that the closest black holes to Earth may exist in the Hyades star cluster. Observations from the Gaia satellite suggest that this nearby group of stars may have several black holes.

New images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) show these powerful jets of stellar matter flaring up and flying in all directions from the poles of the young star. This cosmic phenomenon unfolds in the constellation Perseus, at a distance of approximately 1,000 light years from Earth. The jets fly out in opposite directions from the young luminary. The protostar, whose weight is only 8% of our Sun, resembles it in the past, when it was several tens of thousands of years ago. Astronomers believe that over time it will turn into a star similar to the...

Comet C/2022 E3 is already 1 magnitude ahead of its brightness schedule. Most likely, at the end of January, it will be similar to Neowise (the most favorite Comet in the last 10 years). I hope that the cosmos reminds us in this way - it is too early to relax, but the victory will be ours! By the way, all Arta with the past holiday.

#Astrochate is still under occupation, but some things cannot be missed. On June 24, from 2-00 to 4-00 at night, the alignment (parade) of five planets will take place: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This astronomical event can be seen with the naked eye. The waning moon will be in line with the planets - between Venus and Mars. You have to look to the east, one hand a bottle of wine in the other a loved one (unless, of course, you do not have as much bombing as in Kharkov). The war will end someday, but astronomy is forever). Who wants to support the...

#Astrohata in August 2021 in the period from August 1 to August 14 will be able to show you planetary nebulae, stellar declinations, galaxies and other objects of distant space. In the photo, by the way, the Vedmin's Broom Nebula, NGC 6960 is a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus

I greet you, my dear lovers of astronomy, bonfire, wine and songs) This year, changes took place on Astrohat - we put 3 more new Indian tipis (nothing to compare with the contemplation of the constellation Sagittarius lying on a comfortable tipi bed), equipped a place for astronomical hedonism (now you can observe the starry sky with binoculars with wine, which is attached to the unique mount of Parabino from the company Asterion). If you want to take a break from your children to plunge into the absorption of stellar placers - we will look at them as our own). We...
