A fireball that streaked through the sky over a decade ago may have brought the first meteorite from the outskirts of the solar system.

New measurement with deuterium nucleus confirms proton radius puzzle is real
http://phys.org/news/2016-08-deuterium-nucleus-proton-radius-puzzle.html
A large team made up of researchers from across the globe has repeated experiments conducted several years ago that showed a different radius
for a proton when it was orbited by a muon as opposed to an electron—a finding dubbed the proton radius puzzle—using a deuterium nucleus this
time and has found the same puzzle. In their paper published in the journal Science, the team describes the experiments they conducted, what
they found and offer a few possible ideas to help dispel the notion that the puzzle indicates that there may be some problems
with the Standard Model.

ISRO Plans Return to Mars with Mangalyaan 2.0

The next Mars mission will likely be launched in March 2018, have a less elliptical
orbit around the red planet and could weigh seven times more than the first mission.

Mars Life? 20 Years Later, Debate Over Meteorite Continues
http://www.space.com/33690-allen-hills-mars-meteorite-alien-life-20-years.html

Twenty years ago, NASA scientists and their colleagues announced they had spotted possible signs of Mars life in a meteorite.
The claim ignited a scientific controversy that lingers to this day.

HubbleSite - NewsCenter - Hubble Uncovers a Galaxy Pair Coming in from the Wilderness (08/11/2016) - The Full Story
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2016/29/full/

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered two tiny dwarf galaxies that have wandered from a vast cosmic wilderness into a nearby "big
city" packed with galaxies. After being quiescent for billions of years, they are ready for partying by starting a firestorm of star birth.

"These Hubble images may be snapshots of what present-day dwarf galaxies may have been like at earlier epochs," said lead researcher Erik
Tollerud of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. "Studying these and other similar galaxies can provide further
clues to dwarf galaxy formation and evolution."

Včera byly Perseidy naprosto parádní. Po západu Měsíce to lítalo fakt skoro dešťově. Minimálně tři za minutu v rozmezí jasností -2^m do 4^m.

VIRGO: To je pech. :(
Jsem se chtěl mrknout i dneska večer, ale podle předpovědi se už i na Moravě bude kupit oblačnost. Takže moc s jasnou oblohou nepočítám.

HOCH2: Já dostal od kámoše krásný dárek do sbírky. :)

Direct imaging discovery of a Jovian exoplanet within a triple-star system | Science
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/353/6300/673
Direct imaging allows for the detection and characterization of exoplanets via their thermal emission. We report the discovery via imaging of a young Jovian planet
in a triple-star system and characterize its atmospheric properties through near-infrared spectroscopy. The semimajor axis of the planet is closer relative to that
of its hierarchical triple-star system than for any known exoplanet within a stellar binary or triple, making HD 131399 dynamically unlike any other known system.
The location of HD 131399Ab on a wide orbit in a triple system demonstrates that massive planets may be found on long and possibly unstable orbits in multistar
systems. HD 131399Ab is one of the lowest mass (4 ± 1 Jupiter masses) and coldest (850 ± 50 kelvin) exoplanets to have been directly imaged.

SETI Reconceived and Broadened – Many Worlds

The regions around stars on length and mass scales similar to that of our own solar system are relatively new to human exploration.
In the two decades since “substellar objects,” things less massive than stars, were discovered orbiting stars other than the Sun,
the single most certain statement about them has been “expect the unexpected.” On page 673 of this issue, Wagner et al. reinforce
that statement by reporting on the detection of a substellar object orbiting within a triplestar system.
