Icy 'Spider' Spotted on Pluto in NASA Image (Video)
Icy 'Spider' Spotted on Pluto in NASA Image (Video)
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
Giant ‘icy spider’ captured on Pluto’s surface in latest NASA image
It's been said that spiders turn your blood to ice. Well, it turns out that an icy "spider" has been found on Pluto.
The "spider" is actually an unusual geological feature that caught scientists completely by surprise. Pictures taken by from the New Horizons spacecraft, which whizzed by the dwarf planet last summer, show a series of long fractures in Pluto's surface, all extending from a single, central point. We created a video tour of the icy "spider on Pluto image to take a closer look at the weird feature.
"The pattern these fractures form is like nothing else we've seen in the outer solar system, and shows once again that anywhere we look on Pluto, we see something different," Oliver White, a member of the New Horizons geology team from NASA Ames Research Center in California, said in a statement from the space agency. [See More Pluto Pictures from NASA's New Horizons Probe]
A new geological feature on Pluto, informally called a "spider," is puzzling geologists.

The spider picture shows at least six extensional fractions that converge into a central point. (Of course, six legs would technically make this feature an insect, not a spider.) The longest fracture — informally called Sleipnir Fossa — is more than 360 miles (580 kilometers) long. The fractures also cut across different types of terrain. At north and west, they slice across high plains. To the south, they cut across sharper terrain informally known as Tartarus Dorsa.
Scientists have seen fractures on Pluto before, which they say are created when water-ice crust on Pluto expands and causes the surface to crack. But those fractures tend to run parallel to one another, the NASA statement said. The body of the "spider" may have been created by a focused point of stress, perhaps from material coming up from under the surface in this area, the researchers suggested.
While, so far, this feature seems unique to Pluto and the outer solar system, researchers have seen similar shapes on planets closer to the sun.
"The spider somewhat resembles radially fractured centers on Venus called novae, seen by NASA's Magellan spacecraft [at Venus], as well as the Pantheon Fossae formation, seen by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft on Mercury," NASA officials wrote in the statement.
This image, captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015, shows the location of the spider-like feature on Pluto's surface.
The image was obtained about 45 minutes before New Horizons reached its closest point to Pluto on July 14, 2015. It was taken by New Horizons' Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera with a resolution of roughly 2,230 feet (680 meters) per pixel.
Mars Global Surveyor: A New Generation of Space Probes
Mars Global Surveyor: A New Generation of Space Probes
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
Mars Global Surveyor was a new kind of spacecraft: built "faster, better, cheaper."
Credit: NASA
Mars Global Surveyor was a spacecraft that produced data about the Red Planet that will keep researchers busy for some time. Launched in 1996, the orbiter found intriguing hints of running water and confirmed that the famous "Face of Mars" was a trick of the light. Unfortunately, NASA lost contact with Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) in 2006.
A pioneer
MGS was the first NASA spacecraft to reach Mars in almost 20 years, since the Viking missions arrived in 1976. Right from MGS's first moments at Mars, it was a pioneer: it was the first spacecraft at the Red Planet to use the technique of aerobraking to put itself into its final orbit. It was also part of a new concept for building spacecraft after a series of cost overruns and unsuccessful missions.
Soon after reaching orbit, MGS set about generating a great deal of science. It spotted gullies that could have had streams of water rushing through in the ancient past. It snapped pictures of a "Swiss-cheese-like" south pole, and it watched dust devils leaving tracks in the Martian surface. It spotted hematite – a mineral that forms in water. And it took detailed photographs of the infamous "Face on Mars."
When the Spirit and Opportunity rovers reached Mars in 2004, the spacecraft also served as a communications relay for the rovers to send data back to Earth until it fell silent in 2006.
Return to the Red Planet
MGS had been born out of the failure of a previous planned Mars mission. Mars Observer, launched in 1992, was just three days from its planned orbit insertion around the Red Planet when NASA lost contact with it on Aug. 21, 1993.
The failure stung, particularly because flight delays and other matters had nearly quadrupled the projected cost for Mars Observer.
"Originally budgeted at $212 million, Mars Observer wound up costing $813 million," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noted in a brief history about the mission. "By the time it was launched on Sept. 25, 1992, Mars Observer had come to symbolize out-of-control costs."
Under new administrator Daniel Goldin, NASA embarked on building a "faster, better, cheaper" (FBC) set of spacecraft. The concept was supposed to use small teams and less complicated components to build low-cost spacecraft. The program had a mix of successes and failures, but did birth the wildly popular Mars Pathfinder/Sojourner rover mission that landed in 1997.
NASA started building cheaper spacecraft under the Mars Surveyor program. MGS – at just $154 million (excluding launch costs) in 1996 dollars – was to be the first of a series of spacecraft launching every 26 months. The Mars Surveyor concept was altered after two Mars spacecraft failed in 1998.
Early days on Mars
MGS launched successfully on Nov. 7, 1996, on board a Delta II rocket. From its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, it bounded into orbit and then fired its engines again to accelerate towards Mars. Ten months later, on Sept. 12, 1997, MGS successfully made it into orbit at the Red Planet.
To save on the cost of hauling fuel to Mars, mission planners used a new technique – aerobraking – to finalize MGS in its orbit around the planet. MGS pushed against the atmosphere gradually in its first several months at Mars to put itself in the final orbit. This technique proved so successful that it was used again for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey missions.
Mars Global Surveyor photographed the "Face on Mars" in greater detail.
Credit: NASA/JPL/Malin Space Science Systems
One of MGS' first targets was the "Face on Mars," an infamous feature snapped by the orbiting Viking 1 spacecraft on July 25, 1976. The shadows appeared to be a human face gazing up at the sky, which sparked a generation of conspiracy theories on Earth.
MGS passed over the same location at the Cydonia region on April 5, 1998, to get a more detailed look. Although NASA already knew the "face" came from a trick of shadows, MGS' pictures were in higher-resolution and were used by the agency to debunk the theory. The European Space Agency confirmed the finding in pictures taken with Mars Express in 2001.
NASA carefully selected its first targets to include areas of public interest. Other spots that MGS imaged in the early days included the Viking landing sites and the Mars Pathfinder landing site.
A planet in flux
Mars, revealed by MGS, was a rapidly changing planet that probably had a different environment in the past. Pictures in February 1998 showed a possible ancient river channel. Other snapshots over the years showed slowpoke dunes, regolift drifts and sandsheets on the surface, suggesting that wind was a big factor in shaping Mars history.
As MGS skimmed the planet from pole to pole, it tracked changes in carbon dioxide ice deposits near the south pole of Mars. After three Martian summers of observations, data from MGS revealed that the deposits were shrinking – a possible indication of climate change.
The spacecraft mapped Martian terrain with a laser altimeter, detected traces of magnetic fields with its magnetometer, and mapped at least 20 new impact craters between the time it started operations and the time it fell silent.
When MGS spotted hematite – a mineral that forms in water – from orbit, the discovery spurred NASA to land the Opportunity rover in a hematite-rich area. Just weeks after landing, Opportunity found hematite "blueberries" just a short distance from where it touched down in Meridiani Planum.
End of the extended mission
MGS lasted four times longer than its design lifetime, but the end came rather unexpectedly. On Nov. 2, 2006, controllers ordered MGS to shift its solar panels – a routine adjustment. The spacecraft reported back several errors, but the transmission also indicated that things had stabilized. Then MGS fell silent.
"The spacecraft reoriented to an angle that exposed one of two batteries carried on the spacecraft to direct sunlight," read a NASA press release describing the most likely cause of the failure.
"This caused the battery to overheat and ultimately led to the depletion of both batteries. Incorrect antenna pointing prevented the orbiter from telling controllers its status, and its programmed safety response did not include making sure the spacecraft orientation was thermally safe."
NASA tried for weeks to get in touch with the dead spacecraft, with no success. An independent review board determined that the MGS team did follow the correct procedures to help the spacecraft, but added that the procedures themselves were not strong enough to "catch the errors that occurred".
The agency pledged it would overhaul its procedures to improve other Mars missions. Indeed, NASA has since had more success in resurrecting spacecraft that had software problems.
A notable example is the Mars Odyssey mission, which has entered safe mode several times but been successfully recovered. Odyssey, as a side note, is currently the longest-running Mars mission with more than a decade in service.
But it was MGS that got there first, and that paved the way for more Mars missions to follow. The spacecraft kickstarted a new age of Martian exploration, and provided the first detailed look at the Red Planet in a generation.
Still contributing
Although MGS' mission is long over, there still are occasional science results publicized in the media. For example, in March 2016 NASA released an improved gravity map of Mars that in part used data from MGS. The goal of the map is to better understand variations in the Red Planet's gravity to track the geological history of Mars, such as the differences between the northern lowlands and the southern highlands.
In 2013, researchers suggested that Eden Patera, previously believed to be a crater basin, may instead be remnants of an ancient supervolcano. Based on data in part from MGS, researchers noted a lack of ejecta debris in the region as well as features that usuallly point to volcanism, such as "bathtub rings" created when lava recedes from the area.
Super high resolution microscopes are the most significant development in imaging since the invention of the microscope in the 16th century. Conventional microscopes resolve objects as small as 300 nanometers, also known as the “diffraction limit.” But with a new technology, researchers are able to see molecules such as proteins and lipids and synthetic nanostructures just a few nanometers in diameter.
Prof. Frank Caruso of the Nano Structured Interfaces and Materials Science Group at the University of Melbourne and his colleagues are redesigning and reengineering drugs and other materials on the nanoscale to increase their effectiveness and reduce side effects. With each new generation of drugs or nanoparticles, designers collect information about their effectiveness, using this information to improve the next cycle of development.
According to Caruso, it is important, but challenging, to track how nanoparticles are internalized and processed by cells in the body. Therapeutic agents encapsulated in nanoparticles are released at a specific rate to maximize their effectiveness. The biological machinery of cells can now be studied with these new imaging techniques.
Caruso says nearly every drug on the planet will be vastly improved by this new type of nano engineering that depends on recent breakthroughs in microscopy. The same can be said of materials used in engineering. The following video is an overview of the work being done by Caruso and his team:
Drones have huge potential for growth, but there are serious concerns about safety as accidents like drones crashing into walls or harming people are very common. This is because landing is the hardest part of flying, as the drone has to reduce its speed while approaching the ground without crashing into it.
However the Snap, a drone by Vantage Robotics, offers a simple, alternative way to land. The main body of the drone is attached to the folding propeller assembly by magnets. This feature allows it to come off under impact without incurring any lasting damage.
Snap not only features magnetic break-apart components but also has a high-quality 4k camera. Here are some of the features of this amazing drone:
Snap is thin and ultra-light. Unlike large and heavy drones, Snap weighs about 1.1-pounds. Moreover, its compact body makes it very easy to transport in a backpack.
The Snap has a 4K camera with a Sony Exmor sensor. The 2-axis gimbal-stabilized camera shoots Ultra HD video at 30fps. Slow-motion options are available at 1080p and 720p resolutions.
Snap comes with magnetic breakaway architecture.
Snap can be easily controlled by a smartphone app.
The system is designed to be modular, having waterproof tracking modules and bigger battery packs.
It can cut through 20mph winds and on a full charge, it can last 20 minutes in the air.
With Snap, you can take photos and record videos from near impossible angles, distances, and locations.
In short, Snap is a drone that packs high-quality recording equipment in a lightweight ultra-compact body.

The world’s brightest X-ray laser currently resides in SLAC’s National Accelerator Laboratory, as part of a $1 billion project.
Apparently laying claims to the world’s brightest X-ray laser just isn’t enough these days, however, because the laser is receiving an upgrade that will make it 10,000 times brighter and 8,000 times faster.
Eventually, the laser will be able to shell out a million pulses per second, enabling it to analyze things in excruciating detail such as the movement of electrical charges.
Laser pulses will be pushed through niobium metal cavities held at minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit.
SLAC says this process manifests “an almost continuous X-ray laser beam with pulses that are 10,000 times brighter, on average, than those of [the original laser] and arrive up to a million times per second.”
“[It]will take X-ray science to the next level, opening the door to a whole new range of studies of the ultrafast and ultrasmall,” noted SLAC’s Mike Dunne in a press release. “This will tremendously advance our ability to develop transformative technologies of the future, including novel electronics, life-saving drugs, and innovative energy solutions.”

US Navy Spies Learned of Nazi Alliance with Reptilian Extraterrestrials during WWII
US Navy Spies Learned of Nazi Alliance with Reptilian Extraterrestrials during WWII
These startling claims have been made by ex-Navy whistleblower William Tompkins, who in December 2015, released the first volume of his autobiography titled Selected by Extraterrestrials: My life in the top secret world of UFOs., think-tanks and Nordic secretaries. Tompkins says that he approached a Navy Admiral in 2001 to see if he had approval to write about his experiences:
Early in 2001 I called on Admiral Hugh Webster, Navy League Corporate Director, Washington DC and San Diego CA. We had a five hour meeting on my ongoing book–writing concerning the extraterrestrial threats to our planet. After Admiral Webster read portions of my document and backup technical documentation, I asked Hugh, “How much of this can I include in a published book?” He said. “Bill; TELL IT ALL. This is most important to our country. Don’t leave anything out.”
STERRENKUNDEDe Amerikaanse ruimtetelescoop Kepler is weer stabiel, na een storing die een paar dagen heeft geduurd. De missie van de telescoop, het ontdekken van andere planeten, leek tijdelijk in gevaar te komen. Sinds gisteren is Kepler weer actief.
Op 7 april ontdekten vluchtleiders dat de ruimtetelescoop zichzelf in een veilige noodmodus had gezet, ongeveer veertien uur voordat Kepler op het centrum van het Melkwegstelsel gericht zou worden.
De noodmodus is de laagste 'stand' waarin het apparaat functioneert. Deze modus wordt pas ingeschakeld als het ruimtevaartuig in serieuze problemen zit. De noodmodus is bedoeld om meer schade te voorkomen, maar verbruikt ook het meeste brandstof. NASA onderzoekt de mogelijke oorzaak van de storing.
Kepler werd in 2009 op een missie gestuurd om planeten te ontdekken die rondom andere sterren dan de zon draaien. In de jaren die volgden ontdekte de ruimtetelescoop meer dan duizend van deze zogenoemde exoplaneten, waaronder twaalf leefbare planeten die erg op de aarde lijken. Dankzij Kepler heeft de studie naar exoplaneten een enorme stap gemaakt.
Kepler kwam in 2013 ook al in de problemen, toen de gyroscopen uitvielen. Daardoor moest de eerste missie worden afgebroken. Het team slaagde er toen in het ruimtevaartuig op een tweede missie te sturen. Momenteel maakt Kepler - in een andere operationele modus - nog steeds jacht op planeten bij andere sterren, als onderdeel van de K2-missie. Kepler zat middenin die tweede missie toen hij in de noodmodus belandde.
WETENSCHAPEr bevinden zich onder ons genetische superhelden, die ondanks genetische defecten immuun zijn voor bepaalde ziektes. Dat blijkt volgens een internationaal team van onderzoekers, dat 13 mensen vond die op basis van hun DNA een ernstige ziekte hadden moeten ontwikkelen, maar dat niet deden.
Bepaalde ziektes kunnen veroorzaakt worden door fouten in ons DNA. Tal van studies werden al uitgevoerd om te doorgronden welke mutaties leiden tot bepaalde ziektes. Dat gebeurt telkens door patiënten te onderzoeken.
Het zogenaamde Resilience Project ging omgekeerd te werk. De onderzoekers doorzochten DNA-databanken met informatie van bijna 600.000 mensen. Ze ontdekten 13 gezonde mensen die, op basis van hun DNA, een (ernstige) genetische ziekte zouden moeten hebben, zoals het syndroom van Smith Lemli Opitz, taaislijmziekte of het Pfeiffersyndroom.
Sommige mensen lijken echter geboren te zijn met het DNA van een superheld, besluiten de onderzoekers in hun studie, die verschenen is in het vakbladNature Biotechnology. Ze hopen nu te ontdekken wat deze mensen gezond houdt, en of dat mogelijk tot nieuwe therapieën kan leiden.
'Dit is een startpunt om op zoek te gaan naar andere verschillen die de sleutel kunnen bevatten voor nieuwe therapieën'
Stephen Friend, onderzoeker
Maar voorlopig eindigt het veelbelovende verhaal hier. De onderzoekers konden de 13 geluksvogels niet opsporen omwille van de vertrouwensovereenkomst die ze tekenden toen ze hun DNA-staal lieten afnemen. Wát hen tegen ziektes beschermt, kan dus voorlopig niet achterhaald worden.
Net daarom reageren experten maar voorzichtig enthousiast op de studie. Ze bevat geen bewijs, omdat het team niet kan aantonen dat er geen fouten gebeurden bij het testen en dat er geen hiaten waren in de medische dossiers van de betrokken personen. Daarnaast kan niet vastgesteld worden of mosaïcisme, waarbij het genetische defect maar enkele cellen in het lichaam aantast, aan de basis ligt van hun bevindingen.
De onderzoekers geven toe dat hun onderzoek nog in zijn kinderschoenen staat, en plannen een nieuwe studie waarbij de proefpersonen geïdentificeerd kunnen worden. "Dit is een startpunt om op zoek te gaan naar andere verschillen, bijvoorbeeld in het genoom, die de sleutel kunnen bevatten voor nieuwe therapieën", zegt professor Stephen Friend van de Icahn School of Medicine van het Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
"Miljoenen jaren van evolutie hebben veel meer beschermende mechanismen doen ontstaan dan we vandaag begrijpen", zegt dr. Eric Schadt van hetzelfde instituut. "We zien een enorme kans in het uitvissen wat mensen gezond houdt." De onderzoekers denken dat ook andere vormen van bescherming - bijvoorbeeld tegen infecties en dementie - mogelijk via deze benadering opgespoord kunnen worden.

UFO Over Sea Spotted In Turkey Has Returned Again After 9 Years, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Over Sea Spotted In Turkey Has Returned Again After 9 Years, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 3, 2016 Location of sighting: Sea Antalya, Turkey Newssource: MUFON #75759 This UFO was seen over Turkey last week and strangly enough, I have been looking in that area on Google Earth to see if I can find the underwater base near Turkey. Sadly Google blacks out 95% of the water so its an impossible task, however its there. I have reported UFOs for many years and an old 2007 Turkey sighting recorded on many nights for many hours by a security guard had the most amazing footage ever. I will place that video below to compare...it looks similar to this MUFON report. This UFO was brought to my attention by UFOvni2012 of Youtube. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: We were at the hotel in Kemer- ANTALYA. Sitting and talking with the family. Shiny object with strange move. We thought it was a helium filled metallic balloon. It moved North first and then came back and hovered above the sea. I suprised and then took 5 shot with my canon 450d with zoom lens. When you look at the pictures it was like a door opened at the end of the photos it becomes the known ufo shape and vanished. I said vanished because when I try to take 6th photo I could not find it anymore.

Huge UFO flying over the volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: April 2016 Location of sighting: Popocatepetl, Mexico This UFO was caught on live cam as it shot past this volcano which is famous for its UFOs. This object almost seems to enter and then exit the volcano sides, but its more likely that its flying past on the other side of the volcano. Nice catch, and gives us something to think about. If this is a UFO, then it would be almost 600 meters across, the width of the mouth of the volcano. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Religious Buddha Symbol Meaning Pure Goodness.
Date of discovery: April 10, 2016, but is at least 50 years old. Location of discovery: Whites Sands, New Mexico, USA Google coordinates:33°12’22.6″N 103°35’05.3″W
Lets start off with this, because its most important. This is not a symbol of Hitlers Nazis, but is the ancient buddha symbol that means pure goodness...thats thousands of years old. You see, the Nazi cross turns the other way...and thats why Hitler took the buddha symbol and flipped it backwards, so it would mean pure evil, but here in the photo above is the pure goodnessbuddha symbol. I think I visit enough temples in Taiwan to be able to tell.
Also the writing in the rectangle above is alien symbols. The symbols are very similar to those found at the Roswell UFO crash on small metal beams and parts.
This formation is 600 meters by 491 meters across says Google ruler, if you don't count the circle thats all the way around it. This is far out there in an area called White Sands. This sign is 40 miles East of Roswell, NM the famous crash site of a UFO. There are alien words in the rectangle above. Words that declare ownership of the area. The same kind of writing found on fragments of the UFO that crashed at Roswell 40 miles away
.
So, you ask, why are aliens writing here in the middle of New Mexico? Its easy. This is a waring. There are thousands of oil rigs set up in this location. The closest one is just 40 meters away. Drilling down, deep into the ground, right through the ceiling of the oil and even below cutting through the floors of the oil lakes, causing it to spill down into the underground base. Yes, this symbol is there as a warning to humans...not to damage their base underground. The symbol of pure good at its center means that they don't want to pose a threat to us, only to share the land...below the ground. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
A camouflaged UFO was recorded on video lurking behind the clouds. According to the narrator of YouTube channel SecureTeam10, the video shows a UFO in the sky above Frayser in North Memphis, Tennessee.
It may be hard to tell the location of the UFO in the original video, but the exposure-enhanced version of the footage shows a bizarre shadow behind the clouds.
The UFO enthusiast claimed the footage was taken on March 28, 2016, and a man named Mr Schneider sent it to him.
According to the video maker, he heard strange loud booming sounds days before the sighting. He observed the sky more often to identify the source of the noise and even searched over the internet for a possible explanation.
After several days, he seemed to lost hope in getting an account of the strange sounds. The man then reportedly experienced an odd feeling that there was something over him in the sky. He decided to get his camera and started recording the sky. All of a sudden, he saw a massive machine-like structure that appeared to be moving in the sky.
Mr Schneider claimed that the strange aerial thing broke through the clouds for a split second, but it was easier to see with the naked eye.

Russia “UFO’s are real and we know how to Summon them!”
Russia “UFO’s are real and we know how to Summon them!”
Summoning the Aliens
The Russians have recently claimed that they can now predict when UFOs will appear in the skies above them and that they have now learnt how to willingly summon them! The Russians have also claimed that UFO activity is increased when large scale weapons testing is taking place, of which they have been measuring UFO activity by doing so!
According to Vasily Yeremenko, a Major General of FIB in reserve, academician of the Academy of Security, Defence and Law Enforcement:
“We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovka. To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of 100 percent.”Vasily Yeremenko
Are the Aliens watching our weapons capabilities!?
The Russians have now put together the below three main conclusions:
Modern science is not yet able to identify such phenomena.
The UFOs could be US or Japan surveillance drones.
The UFOs could be extraterrestrial activity.
According to Svobodnaya Pressa, which is a major Russian news website, the Russian Navy have actually now declassified records of numerous encounters with unidentified objects that technologically surpass anything ever built by humanity….leading to the fact that these UFO’s MUST be of an Alien origin!
A special unique Navy group which is headed by Deputy Navy Commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov collected information on reports of unidentified objects, delivered by submarines and military ships.
According to Vladimir Azhazha, a UFO researcher and former Military Navy officer:
“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water.”Vladimir Azhazha
UFO’s appear to like to stay close to the water!
According to one high level report, a Russian nuclear submarine which was on a combat mission at the time had detected six unknown objects pursuing them. After failing miserably to lose the objects following them, the captain then ordered the submarine to surface, of which the objects followed, departed from the water and flew away at extremely high speeds.
Back in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal witnessed a group of what appeared to be humanoid beings dressed in silver suits. Despite the divers trying to catch them, three of them died whilst the other four were injured in this bizarre incident.
According to Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence:
“Ocean UFO’s often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence
Are they watching us and reviewing our ways and actions!?
U.I.P Summary
My what a year 2015 is becoming! We are getting piece of disclosure from every angle it feels like and perhaps it is now time to join all of the dots together!
When the Russians say that they can summon the UFO’s at a guess I think what they actually mean is that mankind’s actions can dictate when they appear. For quite some time now we have heard about UFO’s over looking military exercises and watching over Nuclear weapons storage facilities…..in fact some UFO’s have apparently even managed to turn nuclear weapons off!
Could it be that the Aliens are watching us so closely as they are concerned about what card we are going to play next. As we at U.I.P have stated many times before, nobody should have the right to destroy this beautiful planet with weapons of mass destruction….And perhaps THIS is why ‘they’ are watching us so closely!!

When Alien Disclosure Arrives, Whose Explanation About The ET’s Will YOU Believe?
When Alien Disclosure Arrives, Whose Explanation About The ET’s Will YOU Believe?
There can be NO denying the fact that the year is speeding along past us and with this the human race is inches closer to the very real realization that we are not alone in the universe, and never actually ever have been! Most major organizations and governments throughout the world have started preparing how to break the news to the world to the masses here on earth – whether this is going to be some kind of microbial life or even some kind of advanced extra-terrestrial life, either way, the planning has begun.
Fist we have to accept the fact that the worlds leading space agency NASA very recently gathered top scientists, philosophers, and theologians from around the planet to discuss how this life changing announcement would be made to the masses – initial suggestions are that the announcement will be made in a way that reflects on the situation at the time. What I mean by this is that IF the ET’s are working with certain key figures on Earth, and perhaps have some agreement in place, the Elite may just drip feed yet MORE information on life beyond planet and even present more evidence of microbial life, using yet more delaying tactics. Or could it be that the ET’s have no more time to waste and they want to introduce themselves to the planet directly?
Multiple congressional hearings have already taken place around the world on this subject and many people who work in the industry are starting to voice their excitement. A gentleman called Mike Gold is one of those who are filled with joy over this news, interestingly he is the Director of Operations for Bigelow Aerospace – even more interesting is the fact that Bigelow Aerospace have been supposedly PAYING MUFON for their sighting reports over the last few year, please more on this here:http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/latest-news/camera-shy-bigelow-and-his-obsession-with-ufos/
When you look at the stats of who believes in Aliens, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the universe. And over Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent think that there isn’t. A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extra-terrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a very long time. And it is not just America that the number of believers is rising, it’s happening all over the world – it is almost like some kind of awakening is happening!?
Another clear area of a build up to disclosure is the fact that we now have many leading figures around the world who can testify that we are NOT alone. Some of these people are hundreds of senior high ranking military and government personnel, academicians, and more testifying to the fact that we are not alone, and that governments have known for decades. Obama can’t hold a serious conversation with a six year old child when it comes to the discussion about Aliens –http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/ufo-photos-and-videos/obamas-nervous-discussion-about-aliens-again/
No matter what the bottom line is well and truly out there.
Obama and 6 year old Macey Hensley on the Ellen DeGeneres Show
We also have all of the declassified information that over the last couple of years have been coincidentally released out into the public domain. It almost feels like in one hand the world leaders want to tell us the truth about the extra-terrestrials, but in the hand they don’t!?
It is incredibly clear that when it comes to information and “news” our world has suffered from a severe lack of truth for way too long. Much of what the mainstream media push out to the world is far from truth, and we’ve all seen the level of control of information in North America and the United Kingdom (for example) consolidated by a handful of lying manipulative media corporations. MANY mainstream media publications have shared so many stories that are completely not true, and the majority of the time it’s responsible for shifting the perception of the masses regarding major global events, 911 is a great example of this. It is rather obvious that the media are trying to brainwash the masses of planet earth – There is SO VERY much that is not presented on our mainstream news, so many incredible stories out there that are hidden by the Elite.
Check out another now famous video of Obama LYING through his teeth about the ET’s:
U.I.P SUMMARY –
Information in our world is EXTREMELY heavily controlled and it is also manipulated and again, used to sway the opinion of the masses. Although That being said, there is very little you can learn about our world by “watching the news” or from picking up a newspaper. More people are starting to realize this, and to quench their thirst for finding out what is really happening on our planet many are starting to gravitate towards non-corporate, alternative media, or a mix of the two.
So, when it comes to the extra-terrestrial phenomenon, when the truth is “officially disclosed,” who are YOU going to believe? Will you sit in front of your television for a detailed explanation or will you actually purchase some books to learn more about it? Will you read more articles on websites like Collective-Evolution?
This is a CRITICALLY important topic that opens up Pandora’s box, and brings questions into play that range from science, to engineering and philosophy, anthropology, ancient history and much more. Who are these ET Beings visiting us pretty much daily and where do they come from, what they actually want and what is going on will not come from your television screen.
In today’s world, the only useful way to gain any sort of knowledge or know what is happening on our planet is to do your own research!
Interesting times lie ahead – It is important to keep a very OPEN mind.

Experts Now Believe That Humans Come From Another Place In The Universe
Experts Now Believe That Humans Come From Another Place In The Universe
There are many people from around the world who believe that they do not belong from this planet and feel as though they come from somewhere else – Leading researchers now believe that this could actually be true and that the origins of mankind come from another place in the Universe!
Perhaps the idea that humanity once evolved from somewhere else in the universe and migrated to Planet Earth and perhaps even different corners of the galaxy in advanced spaceships may be a far truer story than what we had first thought. Perhaps we are the aliens on this planet? And if this is the case then where do we originally come from??
A leading ecologist and environmentalist who goes by the name of DR Ellis Silver, has recently put together some important evidence which points towards the hypothesis of humans originating from another place in the universe! In Silvers intriguing book called “Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence,” he describes seventeen interesting ideas as to WHY human beings do not originate from planet earth. The book also goes into detail about where we possibly originated from and an alternative timeline for the human race.
Perhaps our REAL home is somewhere out there?
DR Ellis Silver has highlighted some key areas that could confirm that we are elsewhere in the Universe! For instance our unique psychology of human beings could be down to the fact that we do not originate from Earth/this area of ‘space’ – potentially from a planet with low gravity.
Dr. Ellis Silver told Yahoo news:
“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more, “
“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought. Lizards can sunbathe for as long as they like – and many of them do.”
One of the newspapers asked the question ‘Do we really come from another star system or planet?’ of which the reply back from the Doctor made a lot of sense:
”We are dazzled by the sun, which is also odd, most animals are not.“ Confirmed DR Ellis Silver.
This is very true, in fact Vitamin D which naturally comes from the Suns rays have actually been proven to help humans health conditions. But on the flip side of this our skin burns easily in the Sun too, which could be another indication that we do not originate from this planet.
Sun Worshipping Humans?
Other areas from the book also highlight how a lot of us Humans suffer from bad backs, which is another potential key factor to suggest that we may in fact come from another part of the Cosmos. The leading doctor also considers the fact that humans have an extra 223 genes, according to a study published by Dr. Francis Crick.
According to a paper from bibliotecapleyades:
“Collaborative research from a gathering of exo-scientists postulate that there are genes from over 20 extraterrestrial civilizations in human DNA. These exo-scientists have continued the work of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Frances Crick, and other scholars in this area. Current findings are consistent with reports of Professor Sam Chang, who discreetly released information on his own apparent findings, in association with the Human Genome Project.”
Another interesting area that DR Ellis Silver pointed out, is the fact that us humans can never seem to find the right suitable location/climate to be healthy in – It’s an odd trait which suggests that this planets conditions may be affecting our body’s in a negative manner. The Doctor went on to say:
“We are all chronically ill,” says Dr. Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”
“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”
The Blockbuster Film Prometheus – which suggests that Humans were placed here on Earth by Alien Beings.
Dr Silver has also suggested that if we didn’t get to Earth by spaceships of an ET origin then perhaps early humans could have been crossbred with another species creating modern humans!?
It has also been suggested that the most probable star system that we came from would probably have been the Alpha Centauri, which is actually the closest system to our own.
“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right.”
“This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species.” DR Ellis Silver said.
Dr Silver has also come up with another very thought proving clever thought and has even suggested that perhaps Earth is some kind of a Prison Planet, a place where a violent species (such as ourselves) have been placed, out of harms way from perhaps more ‘busier’ parts of the Cosmos! Perhaps we are to stay here until we learn the errors or our ways. Who knows, maybe the UFO’s in the skies above us are the ET’s who sent us here, watching and reviewing our actions?
Dr Ellis Silver has given many interesting and thought – provoking ideas in his book, which are all very relevant to the conditions of not only this planet that we live on, but also the conditions of our body and how this world affects the majority of us!!
(click on image below to see more details on this book).
U.I.P SUMMARY
I have read this book myself and it is not only incredibly thought provoking, it also makes an awful lot of sense! Us humans always appear to have ‘issues’ with our health, or issues with other people or countries. If we are not having conflicts with somebody else, we then create our own conflicts within ourselves – perhaps Earth is a prison planet for us to learn how not to hate and to get on with one another!?
We are reading more and more nowadays about leading Scientists and experts suggesting that we are not from Planet Earth originally, this is something that 20 or 30 years ago would have been mocked and not taken seriously! But times are changing and our minds are opening – on top of all this the Elite are trying to slowly but surely educate the masses that we are very much NOT alone in the Universe!

Jupiter vernietigde superaardes en maakte zo ruimte voor ons
Jupiter vernietigde superaardes en maakte zo ruimte voor ons
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Lang geleden waren er in het hart van ons zonnestelsel mogelijk een aantal superaardes te vinden. Een dolende Jupiter rekende echter met deze superaardes af en maakte ruimte voor onder meer de aarde. Jupiter, bedankt!
Dat schrijven onderzoekers in het blad Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences nadat ze diverse berekeningen en simulaties uitvoerden. De resultaten kunnen onder meer helpen verklaren waarom de rotsachtige planeten in ons zonnestelsel in vergelijking met soortgelijke planeten rond zonachtige sterren een relatief lage massa hebben. “Ons onderzoek suggereert dat Jupiters reizen naar het hart van het zonnestelsel en vervolgens naar de randen van het zonnestelsel een eerste generatie planeten hebben vernietigd en ruimte hebben gemaakt voor de vorming van de rotsachtige planeten met een beperkte massa die ons zonnestelsel vandaag de dag telt,” legt onderzoeker Konstantin Batygin uit.
Vreemde eend in de bijt Bovendien kan het onderzoek helpen verklaren waarom ons zonnestelsel in vergelijking met andere planetaire systemen toch een beetje een vreemde eend in de bijt is. De afgelopen jaren hebben wetenschappers tal van exoplaneten ontdekt en bestudeerd. Uit die onderzoeken blijkt dat ongeveer de helft van de zonachtige sterren in ons deel van het sterrenstelsel omgeven wordt door planeten. Maar die planetaire systemen lijken maar weinig op ons zonnestelsel. Zo is er dicht bij onze zon weinig te vinden: voorbij Mercurius treffen we enkel een beetje puin aan. In andere planetaire systemen is dat heel anders: doorgaans hebben die één of meer planeten die aanzienlijk massiever zijn dan de aarde en dichter bij de ster staan dan Mercurius bij de zon staat. Ook hebben die planetaire systemen juist weer weinig objecten op grote afstand staan, iets wat in ons zonnestelsel juist weer heel normaal is.
“JUPITER ZOU UITEINDELIJK IN DE ZON ZIJN VERDWENEN ALS SATURNUS ER NIET WAS GEWEEST”
Later Batygin en zijn collega Gregory Laughlin stellen dat ons zonnestelsel weliswaar heel anders is dan andere planetaire systemen, maar dat dat nog niet wil betekenen dat planeten in ons zonnestelsel in eerste instantie net zo ontstonden als planeten in andere planetaire systemen. Pas in een later stadium zou ons zonnestelsel zijn gaan ‘afwijken’ en die ‘afwijking’ werd veroorzaakt door Jupiter. Volgens de onderzoekers was het zonnestelsel nog maar enkele miljoenen jaren oud en bevonden de planeten zich nog in de gas- en stofschijf rond de jonge zon toen Jupiter zo massief werd dat deze in staat was om zich los te maken uit de stofschijf. En omdat de zon het gas uit de schijf naar zich toetrok, begon ook Jupiter naar de zon toe te reizen. “Jupiter zou die koers hebben aangehouden en uiteindelijk in de zon zijn terechtgekomen als Saturnus er niet was geweest,” stelt Batygin. Saturnus vormde zich na Jupiter, maar werd veel sneller richting de zon getrokken waardoor deze op een gegeven moment Jupiter tegenkwam. Zodra de planeten dicht genoeg bij elkaar in de buurt kwamen, ontstond een situatie die onderzoekers ‘baanresonantie’ noemen. De twee planeten kregen omlooptijden die zich bij benadering verhouden als eenvoudige hele getallen (bijvoorbeeld 2:1, oftewel Saturnus maakt twee rondjes om de zon, terwijl Jupiter in dezelfde tijd één rondje maakt). In die omstandigheden gingen de twee planeten met hun zwaartekracht invloed op elkaar uitoefenen en energie delen. Die wisselwerking zorgde ervoor dat het gas tussen de twee planeten werd weggeduwd en de planeten zich niet langer richting de zon begaven. De afstand tussen de planeten en de zon werd juist weer groter.
OP DE AFBEELDING
Op de afbeelding bovenaan dit artikel zie je de situatie toen Jupiter richting de zon bewoog (Jupiters baan is wit). Jupiter pakte de bouwblokken van planeten (planetesimalen) mee en zorgde dat deze een excentrische baan kregen (in turquoise) die overlapte met de nog ongestoorde delen van de planetaire schijf (geel) waardoor heel veel botsingen ontstonden.
Planetesimalen Maar hoe beïnvloedde dat de superaardes die in ons zonnestelsel zouden hebben bestaan? Toen Jupiter richting de zon bewoog, zou deze alle planetesimalen – de bouwblokken van planeten – die deze tegenkwam mee hebben gevoerd richting de zon. Toen deze planetesimalen dichter bij de zon in de buurt kwamen, werden hun banen sterk elliptisch, waardoor deze objecten zich gingen begeven door voorheen onaangeroerde delen van de stofschijf. Hierdoor ontstond de ene na de andere botsing tussen die planetesimalen en objecten in die stofschijf. Uit berekeningen blijkt dat elke planetesimaal in die periode gemiddeld elke 200 jaar in botsing kwam met een ander object. De planetesimalen braken daarbij uiteen en brokstukken verdwenen in de zon. De onderzoekers simuleerden wat er zou gebeuren als in diezelfde periode een aantal superaardes in het hart van ons zonnestelsel te vinden was. Ze lieten zich daartoe inspireren door Kepler-11, een zonachtige ster met zes superaardes (die samen een massa hebben die veertig keer groter is dan die van de aarde). Uit de simulaties blijkt dat de superaardes in een periode van 20.000 jaar compleet in de zon zouden verdwijnen door de botsende planetesimalen. “Het is een heel effectief proces,” stelt Batygin. “Je hebt slechts enkele aardmassa’s aan materiaal nodig om tientallen aardmassa’s aan planeten in de zon te dwingen.”
“JE HEBT SLECHTS ENKELE AARDMASSA’S AAN MATERIAAL NODIG OM TIENTALLEN AARDMASSA’S AAN PLANETEN IN DE ZON TE DWINGEN”
De aarde Toen Jupiter weer bij de zon vandaan begon te bewegen, zou een deel van de planetesimalen die met Jupiter mee reisden weer een cirkelvormige baan hebben aangenomen. Vervolgens waren er miljoenen jaren nodig om die planetesimalen uit te laten groeien tot de rotsachtige planeten zoals we die vandaag de dag kennen. Dat komt netjes overeen met de theorie die stelt dat de aarde 100 tot 200 miljoen jaar na de geboorte van de zon ontstond. En aangezien de schijf met daarin waterstof en heliumgas tegen die tijd al lang verdwenen was, kan het onderzoek ook verklaren waarom de aarde geen waterstofatmosfeer heeft. “Wij ontstonden uit puin dat van deze stoffen ontdaan was.”
Op basis van dit onderzoek zou je dan ook kunnen concluderen dat de meeste exoplaneten – omdat het meestal superaardes zijn – een waterstofatmosfeer hebben, omdat ze ontstonden in een periode waarin dat gas nog veelvuldig rond hun ster te vinden was. “Wat dit uiteindelijk betekent, is dat planeten zoals de aarde niet vaak voorkomen.”
De hete superaardes zijn door hun sterren ‘gestript’, oftewel ontdaan van hun atmosfeer. Hun bestaan wordt al lang vermoed, maar is nu dus bewezen.
Het gaat om exoplaneten die heel dicht bij hun ster staan. “Voor deze planeten is het alsof ze naast een föhn staan die op zijn heetst staat ingesteld,” vertelt onderzoeker Guy Davies. “Er is gespeculeerd dat zulke planeten van hun atmosferen ontdaan worden.” En nu is daar dus bewijs voor gevonden.
Kepler De onderzoekers maakten voor hun studie gebruik van gegevens van ruimtetelescoop Kepler. Deze telescoop heeft al duizenden exoplaneten ontdekt door langdurig naar sterren te kijken. Wanneer de helderheid van de ster met enige regelmaat afneemt, kan dat erop wijzen dat rond de ster een planeet cirkelt.
ASTEROSEISMOLOGIE
Een seismoloog houdt zich bezig met trillingen van de aarde (bijvoorbeeld veroorzaakt door aardbevingen). Asteroseismologie richt zich op trillingen in de ruimte, of nauwkeuriger gezegd: trillingen van sterren. Een ster is eigenlijk niets anders dan een enorme bal van hete gassen en deze vibreert. Die trillingen kunnen ons veel meer vertellen over (het binnenste van) een ster.
Gestripte exoplaneten De onderzoekers hebben nu metingen van deze planeetovergangen gecombineerd met asteroseismologie (zie kader). Dat stelde ze in staat om accurater dan ooit vast te stellen hoeveel zonlicht exoplaneten ontvangen en hoe groot de diameter van deze exoplaneten is. En dat heeft nu dus geresulteerd in de ontdekking van een nieuwe klasse exoplaneten: de gestripte exoplaneten.
Intense straling De atmosfeer van deze planeten wordt weggeblazen door de intense straling van hun ster. Deze ‘striptease’ vindt plaats wanneer een planeet die 2,2 tot 3,8 keer groter is dan de aarde 650 keer meer zonlicht ontvangt dan onze planeet. De dikke atmosfeer van deze planeten wordt door de straling van de zon verwarmd en de vluchtige stoffen in de atmosfeer gaan ‘koken’ en verdwijnen in de ruimte. Wat overblijft is een ‘naakte’ planetaire kern, zo schrijven de onderzoekers in het blad Nature Communications. “Onze resultaten laten zien dat planeten van een bepaalde omvang die dicht bij hun sterren staan, waarschijnlijk aan het begin van hun leven veel groter zijn geweest. Deze planeten moeten er toen heel anders uit hebben gezien,” aldus Davies.
Het onderzoek is belangrijk, omdat het meer inzicht kan geven in de evolutie van planetaire systemen. “Het bestuderen van ons eigen zonnestelsel heeft in dit geval niet geholpen,” stelt onderzoeker Mia S. Lundkvist. “We hebben zulke planeten (superaardes, red.) niet hier. De planeten Uranus en Neptunus zijn qua grootte vergelijkbaar, maar zijn heel ver van de zon verwijderd.” Waarschijnlijk gaan we in de toekomst buiten ons zonnestelsel nog heel wat gestripte superaardes ontdekken. En wel dankzij nieuwe satellieten zoals NASA’s TESS.
Waarom beweegt de noordpool ineens richting Groot-Brittannië?
Waarom beweegt de noordpool ineens richting Groot-Brittannië?
Vivian Lammerse
De geografische noordpool is altijd in beweging. Maar nu verplaatst deze zich plotseling richting de Britse eilanden. Hoe komt dat opeens?
De aarde beweegt rond zijn as. Alleen de as staat niet stil, die beweegt heen en weer. Langzaam verschuift hierdoor de geografische noordpool. Sinds het begin van de waarnemingen in 1899 is deze al verschoven met maar liefst 12 meter. Nu hebben onderzoekers van NASA ontdekt dat de noordpool sinds 2000 een abrupte wending heeft genomen. Hun resultaten zijn gepubliceerd in het vakblad Science Advances.
WATERCYCLUS
Elke zes tot veertien jaar is er een kleine verplaatsing van de noordpool. De onderzoekers hebben dit nu in verband kunnen brengen met de veranderingen in de watercyclus in Eurazië. Droge jaren in Eurazië komen overeen met een oostwaartse verplaatsing, terwijl natte jaren voor een westwaartse verplaatsing zorgen.
Verschuiving Tot 2000 verschoof de noordpool langzaam richting Canada. Maar sinds dat jaartal draaide de noordpool plotsklaps. Nu beweegt de noordpool met een snelheid van bijna 17 centimeter per jaar – twee keer zo snel als voorheen – richting het oosten. “(De noordpool, red.) beweegt niet meer richting Hudson Bay, maar zet in plaats daarvan koers naar de Britse eilanden,” zegt onderzoeker Surendra Adhikari. “Dat is een enorme wending.” De onderzoekers hebben wel een verklaring gevonden voor deze onverwachtse verandering.
Smeltend ijs Van 2003 tot 2015 bekeken de onderzoekers met satellietbeelden de watercyclus op aarde. Vervolgens bestudeerden ze wat het effect hiervan zou kunnen zijn op de draai-as. De onderzoekers suggereren nu dat de verplaatsing van de noordpool veroorzaakt kan worden door smeltend ijs op Antarctica en Groenland. Maar dit is niet de enige reden voor de richtingverandering van de noordpool. Zo zou er ‘iets’ zijn ten oosten van Groenland dat het extra zetje geeft.
Op deze afbeelding is de de richtingsverandering van de noordpool in kaart gebracht.
Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech
Eurazië Dat ‘iets’ vonden de onderzoekers in Eurazië. Door aanhoudende droogte in dit gebied is er veel water verloren gegaan. Hier is echter veel minder water verdwenen dan op bijvoorbeeld Groenland. Waarom heeft dit kleinere verlies dan wel zo’n sterk effect? De onderzoekers zeggen dat de draai-as erg gevoelig is voor veranderingen die zich voordoen op 45 graden breedte. “Dit is waarom veranderingen op het Indiase subcontinent zo belangrijk zijn,” zegt Adhikari.
De veranderende noordpool heeft gelukkig geen effect op ons dagelijks leven. Wel moeten wetenschappers rekening houden met de verplaatsing van de noordpool. Deze verplaatsing heeft namelijk effect op de nauwkeurigheid van GPS, aard-observerende satellieten en observatieposten op aarde.
RUIMTEVAARTNASA's ruimtetelescoop Kepler, die al jaren succesvol de ruimte afspeurt naar planeten die veel op de aarde lijken, is in nood. Daardoor dreigt de ruimtemissie gevaar te lopen.
Tijdens een routinecontrole werd donderdag duidelijk dat de ruimtetelescoop in de noodmodus is gegaan. Dat is de laagste 'stand' waarin het apparaat functioneert. De modus wordt pas ingeschakeld als het ruimtevaartuig in serieuze problemen zit. De noodmodus is bedoeld om meer schade te voorkomen, maar is ook het meest brandstofverbruikend.
Volgens NASA was Kepler enkele dagen eerder nog volledig operationeel. Het is onduidelijk waardoor de problemen worden veroorzaakt en of NASA erin zal slagen de satelliet weer tot leven te wekken. Het opsporen en oplossen van het probleem kan veel tijd kosten, omdat de planeet 121 miljoen kilometer is verwijderd van het missiecontrolecentrum. Het kost ieder signaal dertien minuten om die afstand te overbruggen.
Kepler werd in 2009 op een missie gestuurd om planeten te ontdekken die rondom andere sterren dan de zon draaien. In de jaren die volgden ontdekte de ruimtetelescoop meer dan duizend van deze zogenoemde exoplaneten, waaronder twaalf leefbare aardse planeten die erg op de aarde lijken. Dankzij Kepler heeft de studie naar exoplaneten een enorme stap gemaakt.
Kepler kwam in 2013 ook al in de problemen, waardoor de eerste missie moest worden afgebroken. Het team slaagde er toen in het ruimtevaartuig op een tweede missie te sturen. Kepler zat middenin de tweede missie toen hij in de noodmodus belandde.
