Kdo by si troufl na více než dvoumetrového žraloka sleďového? Vědci si mysleli, že nikdo. Jenže nějaký takový tvor zcela jistě žije u Bermud a jednoho ostře sledovaného žraloka tam slupnul. Vědci jsou zaskočeni, protože beztak ohrožení žraloci čelí zřejmě dalším, doposud neznámým hrozbám a jejich pozemská existence může vzít překvapivě rychlý konec. http://www.osel.cz/13649-jsou-velci-zraloci-skutecne-vrcholovymi-predatory.html
Krátce po Velkém třesku mohly vzniknout primordiální černé díry. Jestli k tomu došlo, mohly by takové černé díry mít velmi různou velikost.

V posledních letech se podařilo dramaticky posunout studium neutrálních částic kosmického záření. Jde o fotony záření gama a neutrina.

Jejich pozorování tak může být klíčové pro identifikaci zdrojů kosmického záření s extrémními energiemi. http://www.osel.cz/13648-fotony-a-neutrina-kosmickeho-zareni-extremne-vysokych-energii_1.html
