Armenian astrologist’s new discovery.

The international scientific group, which includes Armenian astrologist Garik Israelyan, has found that the chemical structure of Earth-like planets can be strictly different from Earth. This can have a sharp impact on the biosphere, as well as the presence and formation of life on the Earth-like planets.

The research group includes Jade Carter-Bond and David O'Bryan (Planet Research Institute, Arizona, USA), Elisa Delgado Mena and Nunu Santush (University of Portu, Portugal), Garik Israelyan and Jonay Gonzales Hernandez (Institute of Astro-Physics of the Canarian Islands). The results will be released in the reputable Astrophysical Journal Letters magazine on March 1, 2012.

The study on the components of the luminescent spheres of the main stars of planets is a key that allows one to understand how planets are shaped and from which clouds the planets emerge from. These studies, which will have important consequences to the evolution of tremendous planets and the shaping of models, also helps us study the structure and composition of the extra-solar planets inside and in the atmosphere.

Garik Israelyan graduated from Yerevan State University in 1987 and has worked at the Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia in Byurakan. In 1992, he defended his thesis for candidate of sciences. Then, he worked at the astrological centers in several countries and has been Head of the "Astrochemical Compositions" Project at the Institute of Astrophysics of Canarian Islands since 2000. Israelyan, Swiss astrophysic Michel Mayor and Portuguese astrophysic Nunu Santush are the laureates of the first International Victor Hambardzumyan Award in 2010, reports the Armenian Astrological Society.
