For the first time confirmed the existence of dark matter

Astronomer based on Hubble telescope observations, study of Saturn and the collision of galaxies group, found the dark matter of evidence. Their local group 1E0657-56 were observed, two groups of galaxies in the role of gravity pulling, dark matter and the normal universe material was left the study for the first time confirmed the existence of dark matter, such intangible substance is unable to detect a telescope. Dark matter makes up the universe of quality, and form the underlying structure of the universe. Dark matter and the universe normal matter (such as gas and dust) gravity interactive, promote the formation of normal matter in the universe of stars and galaxies.

Probe to Pluto's satellite

It found around Pluto two new satellite-Nix and Hydra, the two satellites color same as IO with offerings. The three satellites have the same color, suggesting that they may at the same time was born in a bright stars billions of years ago and the collision of Pluto.

Quasar bright light

Quasars elusive and mysterious, since 1963, after the discovery of quasars, astronomers have been committed to the discovery of quasars is how closely is a combination of light and other radioactive substances. Quasars are located outside the universe, along the region produces large amounts of energy. Quasars are not large compared to the solar system, but its brightness and with Asian stars in galaxies.

Comet collision Jupiter

The Hubble Space Telescope photographed dozens of Comet collision Jupiter, explosion sends strong mushroom-shaped hot gas Fireball over into Jupiter. The picture shows the collision of Comet group called Jupiter "Shoemaker-Levy 9", it two years ago by Jupiter, split up into many small comets eventually when small Comet falls on the surface of Jupiter, Jupiter planet cloud left a temporary fumigation and Peutz-Jeghers points.
