. Southwest Research Institute scientists developed a new process in planetary formation modeling that explains the size and mass difference between Earth and Mars. Mars is much smaller and has only 10 percent of the mass of Earth. Conventional solar system formation models generate good analogs to Earth and Venus but predict that Mars should be of similar-size or even larger than Earth. Courtesy of NASA/JPL/MSSS

... On the base of laboratory simulations (on rotating shallow water) of the formation of spiral arms in galactic gaseous disks, the existence of giant anticyclones in them was predicted. Numerical simulations shown that the vortex structures arise on a linear stage of spiral arms formation simultaneously with the latter. ... Thus second giants structures, after spiral arms, in spiral galactic disks are discovered. ...

... In addition, IZMIRAN comprises the St.Petersburg branch and magnetic ionospheric observatory in Kaliningrad. The history of IZMIRAN is largely that of investigating magnetic storms and sub-storms on the Earth surface, in circum-terrestrial and interplanetary space, initially by means of a network of ground stations of the Soviet Union (1930s - 1940s) and the nonmagnetic skunner "Zarja", then through the extensive use of magnetic measurements on artificial Earth satellites and automatic stations. ...
