Почему не взлетели дирижабли? Часть 25: крушение «Гинденбурга» и конец первой эры воздушных кораблей

В прошлых частях мы шагнули в эпоху после завершения Второй мировой войны, чтобы проследить за последними дирижаблями СССР и ВМС США. Однако наше повествование будет однозначно неполным без рассказа о том, как завершилась история классических немецких цеппелинов. Два огромных трансатлантических авиалайнера LZ-129 «Hindenburg» и LZ-130 «Graf Zeppelin II» стали пиком развития германского дирижаблестроения. Казалось, что хотя бы на дальних межконтинентальных маршрутах воздушные корабли жёсткой конструкции ещё. Read more

Scientists Find Wind Blowing From Our Milky Way's Black Hole

After 50 years of searching, astronomers say they have finally found evidence of a long-sought "wind" blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
