... Сегодня: 10 апреля 2016 г. С помощью космического телескопа Hubble недавно удалось получить новые снимки планетарной туманности , имеющей не очень благозвучное название "Тухлое яйцо" (Rotten Egg). Эти снимки примечательны тем, что на них астрономы впервые увидели явные признаки наличия в газовых облаках этой туманности сверхзвуковых ударных волн. ...
