Originally shared by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) A newly discovered black hole is measured to be about 800 million times as massive as our sun — a Goliath by modern-day standards and a relative anomaly in the early universe. #space #blackhole #astronomy #MIT https://news.mit.edu/2017/scientists-observe-supermassive-black-hole-infant-universe-1206

Sabe o que é um wormhole? É, isso mesmo, um buraco de minhoca. Um portal entre dois pontos remotos do espaço ou mesmo entre dois universos diferentes. Veja este vídeo em inglês que explica tudo isso.

Link oficial da matéria, a pedidos http://goo.gl/wUiUAq Originally shared by NASA NASA's Cassini spacecraft and Deep Space Network have uncovered evidence Saturn's moon Enceladus harbors a large underground ocean of liquid water, furthering scientific interest in the moon as a potential home to extraterrestrial microbes. Researchers theorized the presence of an interior reservoir of water in 2005 when Cassini discovered water vapor and ice spewing from vents near the moon's south pole. The new data provide the first geophysical measurements of the internal structure of Enceladus, consistent with the existence of a hidden ocean inside the moon. Findings from the gravity measurements are in the Friday April 4 edition of the journal Science. The gravity measurements suggest a large, possibly regional, ocean about 6 miles (10 kilometers) deep, beneath an ice shell about 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 kilometers) thick. The subsurface ocean evidence supports the inclusion of Enceladus...

Eu olho pra essa foto e minha mente quase explode Originally shared by NASA Galaxy clusters are so huge that their gravity can bend light! Clusters are some of the most massive structures that can be found in the Universe — large groups of galaxies bound together by gravity. This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals one of these clusters, known as MACS J0454.1-0300. Each of the bright spots seen here is a galaxy, and each is home to many millions, or even billions, of stars. Astronomers have determined the mass of these clusters to be around 180 trillion times the mass of the sun. Clusters like this are so massive that their gravity can even change the behavior of space around them, bending the path of light as it travels through them, sometimes amplifying it and acting like a cosmic magnifying glass. Thanks to this effect, it is possible to see objects that are so far away from us that they would otherwise be too faint to be detected. In this case, several objects ap...

Foto incrível das dunas de areia de Marte, ainda parcialmente cobertas por gelo seco (CO2). E não, isso que você está vendo na foto não é vegetação. Originally shared by NASA Martian Sand Dunes in Spring - Mars' northern-most sand dunes are beginning to emerge from their winter cover of seasonal carbon dioxide (dry) ice. Dark, bare south-facing slopes are soaking up the warmth of the sun. The steep lee sides of the dunes are also ice-free along the crest, allowing sand to slide down the dune. Dark splotches are places where ice cracked earlier in spring, releasing sand. Soon the dunes will be completely bare and all signs of spring activity will be gone. This image was acquired by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Jan. 16, 2014.
