Alien hunters were convinced they had spotted a captured UFO on Wednesday.
Keen-eyed conspiracy theorists spotted a strange circular object on Google Earth satellite images of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles.
Some alien hunters claimed that the object was a flying saucer parked on the runway.
But Nasa engineers have since debunked the theory by taking a selfie with the mystery shape.

Alien hunters were convinced they had spotted a captured UFO on Wednesday. A keen-eyed conspiracy theorists spotted a strange circular objects on Google Earth satellite images of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles
Nasa scientist Dr Nacer Chahat tweeted the photo earlier today.
In response to Twitter user @ufoofinterest, who had posted a link to an article on the so-called UFO, he wrote: 'Here is what you think is a UFO. The only alien is me.'
Dr Chahat's picture shows him stood with a colleague near the object, which appears to be a storage container.
YouTube user 'Name Shame' originally spotted the object on Google Earth on Wednesday and published the images on his YouTube channel.
'Is NASA playing games?.. UFO captured? What is it?' he said in the post.
The JPL, near Los Angeles, is the birthplace of the US's first satellite to orbit the Earth.
Earlier this week, alien hunters claimed that the white disc-like object was a flying saucer
Nasa engineers have debunked the conspiracy theory by taking photos of the mystery object
The 'Explorer 1' satellite launched in 1958.
The JPL now acts as the headquarters for exploratory missions to study distant planets and asteroids.
'I doubt this is a captured extraterrestrial flying saucer, more likely it is a structure or vehicle that has a flying saucer shape,' Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline earlier this week.

'Secondly, why would they leave it out in the open to be spotted by the likes of Google Earth?
'Seeing strange anomalies on Google seems to be the latest craze that is rivalling the watching of live images from the International Space Station to get a glimpse of UFOs.
'In most of these instances we see what we look for.'
This is not the first time that UFO Hunters have used Google's satellite technology to make bizarre claims about aliens.
Earlier this month a self-proclaimed ufologist claimed footage of himself fighting and being abducted by aliens had been caught on camera by Google maps.
A man who called himself John Mooner, from Newton Abbot in Devon, claimed a 'real alien abduction' has been captured taking place on Google's satellite cameras.
The green glow is supposedly light from an alien ship hoping to beam him up. The small red circles allegedly show him being punched in the face by an alien. A zoomed in version is shown top right
THE 'ABDUCTION'
Mr Mooner claimed he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage.
'I do remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said.
He is convinced from looking at a series of pictures that he was abducted.
'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.
'I was having trouble with the Google Earth app that was installed on my computer so I looked for an online option and found Google satellite maps,' Mr Mooner told the Torquay Herald Express.
'I thought to myself I will view the area where I was UFO spotted from last year and look for anything out of the ordinary.
'I was left speechless by what I saw.
'The satellite has captured a real alien abduction taking place.'
The pictures were released by Mr Mooner, who claims he took them from Google maps.
Where exactly the abduction took place is unknown.
'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.
Mr Mooner claims he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage. 'I do however remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said
'Looking at the image it appears that the alien has blocked my punch and has grabbed my fist and must of been able to subdue me [sic].'

Out in West Texas, on a wide shoulder of Highway 90 in the desert, curious people gather most every night to view a ghostly phenomenon. As dusk begins to fall, strange lights appear to hover in the air and then disappear unprompted. The lights have been described as otherworldly. Some find them friendly, and others, sinister. Witnesses claim to see the lights dart in one direction or another, change color, and apparently dissolve just as swiftly as they appeared. The Marfa Lights, as they’re known, are a largely mysterious phenomenon that have confounded and intrigued Texans for generations. But just what exactly are they? Let’s do some research.
First and foremost it’s important to point out that the lights are not a figment of the collective imagination of a gullible public. The Marfa Lights have been well-documented by scientists and celebrities. If you go to the Marfa Light Viewing Center, you are likely to see them for yourself. James Dean is said to have been so obsessed with them during the filming of the movie Giantthat he would keep a telescope on him at night to catch glimpses of them.
Ghost lights are an ancient phenomenon that occur worldwide. Some people call them will-o-the-wisps, while others refer to them as swamp lights or orbs. It’s hard to say exactly when the Marfa lights first appeared. There are reports of sightings dating back to the 19th century, but the first known printed account of them showed up in a 1957 issue of Coronet Magazine, where they were referred to as “the Texas Ghost Lights.”
Theories abound as to just what causes them. Some people believe the lights are paranormal in essence. That they are perhaps ethereal spirits, the luminous remains of lost souls. Some posit that they are alien in nature, possibly UFOs. The skeptics tend to believe the lights are merely atmospheric reflections of campfires and the headlights of cars passing on a nearby roadway.
There are two notable studies on the Marfa Lights. One was done by Society of Physics students at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2004. Another study was conducted four years later by a group of scientists from Texas State University. The Texas State scientists spent 20 nights using spectroscopic technology to observe the lights. Both studies came to similar conclusions, that the Marfa Lights were most likely caused by the headlights of cars driving by on Highway 67, or by small campfires in the distance.
Although, some people who have seen the lights vehemently deny this solution. Michael Hall wrote a piece on the subject for Texas Monthly in 2006 entitled “The Truth is Out There.” Hall’s article explored both magical and scientific explanations for the lights.
“My wife and I got married in Alpine six years ago, and the night before, the wedding party wound up at the viewing area.Alcohol was involved, and so was a lot of loud talk. There were more than a dozen of us, and just as a funny movie is funnier with a group of friends, so is a mystery more mysterious. We all agreed—no way those were car lights,” Hall wrote.
Hall wanted badly to believe, but after doing his own research (involving telescopes, binoculars, experts, first-hand testimony and even strobe lights) even he had his doubts.
Some people enjoy the mystery of the lights even more than the lights themselves, though. Julie Mangum saw the lights during her time attending Sul Ross University in Alpine.
“It’s the strangest thing to ponder. It absolutely blows my mind just like how space never ends, or like what does it mean to not exist. You don’t always see them when you go and they never are the same every time you’re there. It’s really a great mystery and I don’t know if I really want it solved.”
In general, ghost lights are considered evasive and mysterious, popping up in random places in the dark of night with few witnesses. However, in Texas, the Marfa Lights are easily spotted from the same location nearly every night. That would suggest that what we’re seeing is not supernatural, but something rational that perhaps has been distorted, causing it to seem unfamiliar.
One way that the Marfa Lights could be car lights and also appear mystical is if they were being disguised through an optical illusion. There is one such optical illusion that is actually very common in most parts of Texas. In fact, you’ve probably experienced it yourself. Picture this: you’re driving down a long stretch of highway in the summer. The road is baking with heat. The temperature is creeping up toward the triple digits, and there is not a cloud in the sky. Suddenly, up ahead the road appears to be wet. Did a sudden shower move through the area right before you drove in? No, that can’t be right either, because as you near the watery section of road, it appears to dry before your eyes.
What you’re actually seeing is an optical illusion commonly known as “heat haze” or “heat shimmer.” It occurs when extreme heat near the surface of the road refracts the light from the sky. In simple terms, the ground becomes a mirror and reflects the sky. During daylight hours when there’s not much on the horizon, your brain interprets this heat haze as water. However, the haze can actually create a mirror image (also known as an inverted mirage) when it’s in front of something large like a mountain. The effect of which is to make something in the distance seem to appear upside down, like it’s being reflected in a pool of water that simply isn’t there. Now imagine what that would do to car headlights traveling along a road, or campfire lights at night.
Paradoxically, a mirage could even be to blame when the weather is cold. Cold air mirages are known as “superior mirages.” They happen when the air close to the ground is colder than the air above it. They are more common in polar regions than in the arid West Texas desert, but it’s one possible explanation.
However, you also have to take into consideration that there were reports of ghost lights in this area in the 1850’s, before Texas even had roads. Or cars. Could it really be lost souls? Maybe. No one really knows what happens after this life. It could be camp-fires. Hell, that close to New Mexico, it could really be aliens. We may never know.
Wat gebeurt er met het menselijke lichaam als je een jaar in de ruimte verblijft? Onderzoekers van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA zetten een uniek experiment op met een identieke tweeling, waarvan één broer naar het internationaal ruimtestation ISS reisde en de andere op aarde bleef. Bedoeling was om data te vergelijken van voor, tijdens en na de missie. Intussen zijn de eerste resultaten binnen en die zijn opmerkelijk te noemen. Zo veranderde het DNA van de broer die in de ruimte verbleef en werd hij groter.
Het waren Scott en Mark Kelly die voor proefkonijn speelden in het onderzoek. Scott reisde naar het ISS, waar hij een jaar gewichtloos leefde, voormalig astronaut Mark bleef gewoon op aarde. Doel was om te weten te komen wat een langer verblijf in de ruimte met de mens doet met het oog op een bemande missie naar onze buurplaneet Mars. Tien groepen wetenschappers bestuderen nu de informatie die ze uit de missie verkregen, elk in hun eigen vakgebied. Het gaat onder meer om het effect op het immuunsysteem, de beenderen en het DNA.
Chromosomen Wat bleek? De chromosomen van Scott waren langer geworden tijdens zijn verblijf in de ruimte, terwijl ze op aarde net korter worden als je ouder wordt. Dat kwam doordat de zogenaamde 'telomeren' op het einde van zijn chromosomen - die chromosomen beschermen voor afsterven en versmelten met andere chromosomen - langer waren geworden. De onderzoekers vermoeden dat het te wijten is aan het feit dat Scott meer bewoog en sportte en minder calorieën opnam in het ruimtestation. Toen hij weer op aarde was, werden ze opnieuw korter. Het effect ervan moet nog worden onderzocht.
Scott had ook een verminderende botvorming, maar het niveau van een hormoon dat helpt om beenderen en spieren gezond te houden, was wel hoger geworden. Vermoedelijk door het vele sporten. Het niveau van het stresshormoon cortisol bleef normaal, met uitzondering van het moment net na zijn landing op aarde. Vermoedelijk door de stress van zijn terugkeer in de atmosfeer. Scott was ook 5 centimeter groter geworden bij zijn terugkomst.
Kracht Een ander belangrijk resultaat met betrekking tot een potentiële reis naar Mars was de verminderde kracht van Scott. Na zes maanden in de ruimte blijkt het steeds moeilijker om taken snel en efficiënt uit te voeren, zelfs als ze vitaal zijn voor het overleven. Dat wezen fysieke tests aan, zoals het beklimmen van ladders, het openen van luiken en het ontwijken van obstakels. Ook de fijne motoriek ging achteruit, zoals bij het bedienen van computermateriaal. Net als de cognitieve vaardigheden van Scott.
Probleem Toen Scott weer op de aarde landde, werd hij door hulpverleners uit zijn capsule geholpen. Dat zal niet het geval zijn op Mars, waar de astronauten op zichzelf aangewezen zijn. Een potentieel probleem, ook al denkt Scott dat het daar makkelijker zal gaan omdat er minder zwaartekracht is.
De resultaten zijn vooralsnog voorlopig en moeten nog verder worden onderzocht. Later dit jaar zou de NASA met een diepgaander en uitgebreider verslag komen. "Belangrijk is wel dat we voorlopig nog niets hebben gevonden dat een langere ruimtereis zoals naar Mars in de weg kan staan", aldus nog onderzoeker John Charles.

Two White UFOs Appear Over Ocean In Chile Causing Family To Panic, Jan 30, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Two White UFOs Appear Over Ocean In Chile Causing Family To Panic, Jan 30, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:January 30, 2017 Location of sighting: Chile This is a video posted by Ovnis Actuales of Youtube. As a white UFO disk is seen in the far distance, a father of a family becomes excited, but the others near him blow it off as nothing, until a second UFO disk appears even close to them and more clear than ever. Thats when the woman notices and screams. Watch a 2:20 to see the closest UFO move through a cloud. These UFOs appeared over the ocean in Chile because they were either getting ready to enter or exist the under water alien base in the area. If they were leaving, then they need to rise up and let the water flow off of them before they enter space. The water on the UFO would cause complications during flight through space at high speeds. Scott C. Waring
This is a very fascinating report sent in today and I have to admit its got me stumped. Most UFOs wont make a cloud unless its to hide in or to make cloud tunnels. I have even seen a three arm starfish UFO rotating like a slow fan inside of a cloud before, but this is really amazing. The photos were sent in HD and are included in the file above you can use them as you wish. The UFO seen in the photos is a disk shape and is glowing incredibly. The sides of the disk are not glowing, but its center is. The UFO seems to have lost control and was crashing to earth somewhere in the forest hills of BC. The fact that it depended slowly rules out meteor. The fact that its perfectly shaped like a disk rules out jet, rocket or satellite. So, all we have left is an alien craft falling to earth as if its been attacked, possibly shot down with the old Ronald Reagan Star Wars satellites which have missiles on them to attack. There is actually a video from long ago of a missile shooting at a UFO and the UFO suddenly makes a hard right turn to avoid it. I will include that old video below. Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
These same type of objects were witnessed on two occasions. Yesterday I was out on the back porch when my husband pointed out what looked to me like a jet at first. It was a quick presumption on my part and due to the cloud like trails it was leaving behind. But with a bit more observation it became obvious that it was not. It was moving far too slow to be a jet and was falling toward the ground. Looking through the binoculars I could see two bright orbs of light at the leading edge which seemed to separate slightly from one another. The decent was far slower than I imagine gravity would bring a solid object down. It took at least five minutes to get from mid sky to where I could no longer see it behind the trees. Around the same time today my husband came in to tell me that there was another one in the sky. This time I thought to grab my camera. It looked and acted almost identical to yesterday's sighting, a bright circle of light falling at a slow rate of speed leaving two trails behind it. Two very fast jets flew across the sky from west to east in the same area as it descend. When I lost sight of it behind the trees I took a look around and spotted another one higher in the sky but in the same southern direction. It too look as though it was falling to the ground and at the same slow rate of speed. This one however broke into four segments but all four fell at the same rate. Another jet flew by shortly before I lost sight of it. And then another, but this one came from the east, did a quick turn about above the falling object and returned east. These jets were far faster than commercial airlines fly. I did and still do feel a bit bewildered by what I saw and am very curious to know what exactly I witnessed.

Giant UFO Disk Near Our Sun, But You Wont Hear It From NASA, Feb 2, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Feb 2, 2017 Location of sighting: Earths Sun Here is a great find by UFOnearSun of Youtube today. He found an actual alien craft that is orbiting our sun. The UFO size would be nearly that of the our moon if we made it flat. However the UFO may be closer to the SOHO sun satellite and it may only be several times bigger than our space station. Actual proof directly from NASA and SOHO gov agencies. Scott C. Waring Eyewitnesses states:
A huge "flying discs" - UFO flew to orbit our Sun - February 2, 2017 And, another important question that you should ask yourself and NASA ... If the Sun in a vacuum, then why in the images, you can see the shadow of the sun against the dark background of space ???

UFO Caught Over Neighborhood In Pittsburgh On Jan 31, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 31, 2017 Location of sighting: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Source: MUFON Posted by:UFO Case Book This was found by UFO Case Book, its one of the most reliable and trustworthy sites on the net today. This video shows us only a few seconds of footage, but its all we need to see that its rotating slightly as it moves forward. The UFO has many several antenna like appendages sticking out. One on top, one on bottom and another two sticking out its front area. Many classic UFOs have been seen to have an arial antenna on top and some on the center bottom. The eyewitness says it was shaped like a dome...a disk. Nice catch. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - 01-31-17 - I was taking my dog outside. I first noticed the object because it flew from over the field across my house. I had no idea what to think about the object when I first saw it, my only instinct was to get out my phone and start recording because it definitely wasn't something I had ever seen before. I first saw the object when it flew over the trees across from my house and flew quite quickly in a straight pattern over and away from my house. It was shaped like a dome with a slight point on top, and some type of string like appendage hanging from it. It was dark in color. My feelings on the object are quite mixed. I've always been on the fence as far as paranormal occurrences. But when I saw this thing I was just so intrigued, and I genuinely can't explain what this might be. I lost sight of object when it disappeared over the hills behind my house. There is a filter on the video I'm sending because I had put it on my Snapchat story.
Mars werd zeker 2 miljard jaar geteisterd door vulkaanuitbarstingen
Mars werd zeker 2 miljard jaar geteisterd door vulkaanuitbarstingen.
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Een meteoriet suggereert dat Mars enkele van de langstlevende vulkanen van ons zonnestelsel herbergt.
Ongeveer 1 miljoen jaar geleden vond er een enorme inslag plaats op Mars. Een object sloeg in op een vulkaan of met lava bedekte vlakte. Daarbij werden stenen de ruimte in geslingerd en een aantal daarvan landde op aarde.
Eén locatie Eén van die meteorieten werd vervolgens in 2012 ontdekt. Het is een vulkanisch gesteente dat geologen ook wel shergottiet noemen. Door de tijd heen zijn er elf van deze van Mars afkomstige meteorieten met dezelfde samenstelling ontdekt die ook nog eens allemaal op hetzelfde moment van Mars werden weggeslingerd. “We zien dat ze uit dezelfde vulkanische bron afkomstig zijn,” stelt onderzoeker Tom Lapen. “Aangezien ze ook op hetzelfde moment van Mars werden weggeslingerd, kunnen we concluderen dat ze van dezelfde locatie op Mars afkomstig zijn.”
Bovenaan dit artikel zie je een door de computer gegenereerde afbeelding van Olympic Mons: de grootste vulkaan die Mars rijk is. De vulkaan is ongeveer 25 kilometer hoog.
Ouder Samen kunnen deze meteorieten ons dan ook meer vertellen over een specifieke plek op Mars. Het zal je niet verbazen dat onderzoekers verschillende van deze meteorieten al bestudeerd hebben. Alle reeds bestudeerde shergottieten zijn echter tussen de 327 en 600 miljoen jaar oud. De in 2012 ontdekte meteoriet waar onderzoekers zich nu over hebben gebogen, is aanzienlijk ouder. Het stukje vulkanisch gesteente ontstond zo’n 2,4 miljard jaar geleden.
Langstlevend Deze meteoriet vertelt ons dan ook dat de vulkanische activiteit op Mars heel lang aanhield. Zeker 2 miljard jaar. Het zou betekenen dat enkele van de langstlevende vulkanen van ons zonnestelsel op de rode planeet te vinden zijn.
De onderzoekers doen hun studie in het blad Science Advances uit de doeken. De conclusies kunnen volgens hen meer inzicht geven in de evolutie van de planeet.
Pas ontdekte 'leegte in de ruimte' duwt ons sterrenstelsel weg
Pas ontdekte 'leegte in de ruimte' duwt ons sterrenstelsel weg
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Nieuw onderzoek toont aan dat er niet alleen aan de Melkweg getrokken wordt. Ons sterrenstelsel wordt ook geduwd.
Je bent je er waarschijnlijk niet zo van bewust, maar we zijn continu in beweging. Zo draait de aarde met een snelheid van zo’n 1600 kilometer per uur om haar as en met zo’n 100.000 kilometer per uur om de zon heen. Die zon draait weer met een snelheid van zo’n 850.000 kilometer per uur om het centrum van de Melkweg heen. Voel je jezelf al duizelig? Het wordt nog gekker. Want de Melkweg haast zich – samen met het Andromeda-stelsel – weer met een snelheid van zo’n 630 kilometer per seconde (2 miljoen kilometer per uur) door de ruimte.
Trekken Grote vraag is natuurlijk waarom de Melkweg – en het Andromedastelsel – zich zo snel door de ruimte bewegen. In eerste instantie dachten onderzoekers dat de Great Attractor de boosdoener was. Dit is een gebied dat zo’n 150 miljoen lichtjaar van de Melkweg verwijderd is en zo’n zes clusters van sterrenstelsels bevat. En die clusters zouden met hun enorme zwaartekracht aan de Melkweg trekken. Niet veel later wezen onderzoekers nog een andere boosdoener aan: de Shapley Concentration. Het ligt zo’n 600 miljoen lichtjaar voorbij de Great Attractor en bestaat uit meer dan 24 clusters. Het moge duidelijk zijn: er zijn enorme structuren in de ruimte die aan ons sterrenstelsel trekken.
Duwen Maar daarmee is het verhaal nog niet compleet, zo stellen onderzoekers nu in het blad Nature Astronomy. Want er wordt niet alleen aan de Melkweg getrokken. Ons sterrenstelsel wordt ook geduwd. En wel door een tot voor kort onbekend, groot, relatief leeg gebied. De onderzoekers hebben het de Dipole Repeller gedoopt.
Net zo belangrijk De onderzoekers bestudeerden hoe sterrenstelsels zich door de ruimte bewogen. “We ontdekten dat onze Melkweg zich weg haast van een grote, nog niet eerder geïdentificeerde regio met een lage dichtheid,” vertelt onderzoeker Yehuda Hoffman. “Omdat het gebied afstoot in plaats van aantrekt, hebben we het de Dipole Repeller genoemd. We worden dus niet alleen aangetrokken door de bekende Shapley Concentration, maar ook weggeduwd door de nieuw ontdekte Dipole Repeller. Blijkbaar zijn dit geduw en getrek allebei net zo belangrijk voor onze locatie.”
De Shapley Concentration/Shapley Attractor trekt onder meer aan de Lokale Groep (waartoe ook de Melkweg behoort). De Dipole Repeller stoot de Lokale Groep af. Afbeelding: Yehuda Hoffman, Daniel Pomarede, R. Brent Tully, and Helene Courtois Nature Astronomy 1, 0036 (2017).
Het is niet voor het eerst dat onderzoekers suggereren dat er een gebied met een lage dichtheid is die onze Melkweg wegduwt. Maar het bleek eerder lastig te zijn om de afwezigheid van sterrenstelsels in zo’n gebied aan te tonen. Dat is onderzoekers nu dus wel gelukt. De wetenschappers verwachten dat het in de toekomst met zeer gevoelige telescopen mogelijk moet zijn om de weinige sterrenstelsels die zich in de lege ruimte – die zij Dipole Repeller hebben genoemd – bevinden, waar te nemen. En daarmee zou het bestaan van deze afstotende leegte onomstotelijk bewezen zijn.
Sterren rond onze Melkwegschijf blijken groepsreizigers te zijn
Sterren rond onze Melkwegschijf blijken groepsreizigers te zijn

Ze trekken in groepjes op, zo concluderen Groningse onderzoekers op basis van gegevens van Gaia. Het kan ons meer vertellen over het ontstaan van onze Melkweg.
Aangenomen wordt dat de Melkweg ontstaan is toen meerdere kleine sterrenstelsels fuseerden. Hoe die fusie er precies uitzag, weten astronomen niet. Om daar meer duidelijkheid over te krijgen, hebben onderzoekers nu sterren die zich in de halo van de Melkweg bevinden, bestudeerd. Deze sterren bewegen rond de Melkwegschijf.
Groepjes Het onderzoek wijst uit dat een groot deel van deze sterren in groepjes optrekt. “Dat duidt erop dat de sterren inderdaad afkomstig zijn van oude, kleine sterrenstelsels die zijn ingevangen door de Melkweg,” vertelt onderzoeker Amina Helmi. De onderzoekers denken dat er tientallen van deze groepjes zijn. “We zien nu vooral groepjes van enkele sterren samen bewegen, maar dat komt doordat we nog niet alle gegevens hebben,” legt Helmi uit.
Over Gaia De onderzoekers baseren hun conclusies onder meer op gegevens van Gaia. Deze satelliet – eigendom van de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie – moet de snelheid, grootte, leeftijd en temperatuur van meer dan een miljard sterren in onze Melkweg vaststellen. De satelliet werd in 2013 gelanceerd en heeft al heel wat gegevens verzameld. Maar onderzoekers kunnen niet wachten tot Gaia met meer informatie over de brug komt. Zo hebben onderzoekers zich tijdens deze studie gericht op sterren in de halo van de Melkweg die zich op hun reis toevallig dicht bij de zon begeven. In de toekomst willen ze ook halosterren die verder van ons vandaan bewegen, bestuderen. “Met die gegevens kunnen we onze uitspraken over de vorming van de Melkweg verfijnen en de stamboom van de Melkweg reconstrueren,” vertelt Helmi.
Helmi en collega’s ontdekten tijdens hun studie niet alleen dat veel sterren in de halo van de Melkweg in groepjes optrekken. Ze stelden bovendien vast dat 70 procent van de sterren in de zogeheten buitenste halo tegen de richting van de Melkweg indraait. Dat percentage ligt veel hoger dan men op basis van modellen voorspelde. “Je kunt die sterren uit de buitenste halo vergelijken met forensen die spookrijdend naar de stad komen en in de stad blijven spookrijden. Ze bewegen tegengesteld aan de mensen die in de stad wonen.”

Al miljarden jaren regent het regelmatig zuurstof op de maan. Die zuurstof is afkomstig van de aarde en waarschijnlijk gegenereerd in de biosfeer.
De zonnewind bombardeert de maan bijna continu. Alleen wanneer de aarde tussen de maan en de zon in staat, weet de maan zich beschermt tegen de zonnewind. Het magnetisch veld van de aarde buigt de zonnewind dan af.
Ionen Maar dat wil niet zeggen dat de maan dan helemaal niets te vrezen heeft. Want wanneer de aarde tussen de maan en de zon instaat kunnen ionen – afkomstig van de aarde – de maan bereiken. Eerder toonden onderzoekers al aan dat van de aarde afkomstige ionen van stikstof en andere edelgassen in die periode op de maan regenen. Nieuw onderzoek suggereert nu echter dat ook een ander belangrijk gas – zuurstof – zijn weg naar de maan weet te vinden op het moment dat de aarde tussen de maan en de zon in staat.
Zuurstof Dat schrijven Japanse onderzoekers in het blad Nature Astronomy. Ze baseren zich op waarnemingen van de Japanse maansonde Kaguya. Deze sonde verzamelde de betreffende gegevens toen deze – samen met de maan – door de aarde tegen de zonnewind beschermd werd. De gegevens tonen aan dat de maan – wanneer de aarde tussen de zon en de maan in staat – bekogeld wordt door zuurstofionen. Deze ionen komen dan terecht in een micrometer diepe laag maangrond.
Als de aarde tussen de zon en de maan in staat, weet de maan zich beschermd tegen de zonnewind, maar stromen ionen afkomstig van de aarde wel richting onze natuurlijke satelliet. Afbeelding: Osaka University / NASA.
WIST JE DAT…
…NASA onlangs de maan en de aarde vanaf Mars heeft gekiekt? Bekijk de prachtige foto hier!
Al een tijdje En dit hele proces speelt al een tijdje. Al sinds zuurstof in significante concentraties in de atmosfeer te vinden is. Dus al zo’n 2,5 miljard jaar. Nog fascinerender wordt het als je bedenkt dat het grootste deel van de zuurstof in de atmosfeer van de aarde gegenereerd wordt door aardse organismen. Het betekent dus dat de maan regelmatig ‘besmet’ wordt met door aardse wezens gegenereerde elementen.
Het onderzoek is interessant, omdat het suggereert dat we wellicht meer te weten kunnen komen over de aardse atmosfeer in vroeger tijden door de maangrond te bestuderen. Dat wil overigens niet zeggen dat we de geschiedenis van de aardse atmosfeer moeiteloos uit de maangrond kunnen aflezen. De onderzoekers benadrukken dat het lastig zal zijn om onderscheid te maken tussen de bijdragen die de zonnewind en de aarde – in de periode dat deze tussen de zon en de maan in staat – aan de maangrond levert.
Het is nog een overblijfsel van supercontinent Gondwana dat zo’n 200 miljoen jaar geleden uit elkaar begon te vallen.
Dat stelt een internationaal team van onderzoekers nadat ze mineralen bestudeerden in gesteenten die tijdens vulkanische erupties op Mauritius aan het oppervlak kwamen. Deze mineralen bleken eigenlijk veel te oud te zijn om tot het eiland te behoren.
EERDER ONDERZOEK
Het is niet voor het eerst dat onderzoekers miljarden jaren oude zirkonen aantreffen op Mauritius. Dat gebeurde in 2013 ook al eens. Maar dat onderzoek kon rekenen op felle kritiek. Onderzoekers stelden dat de mineralen wel eens door de wind naar het eiland konden zijn vervoerd of onbewust door mensen naar Mauritius waren meegenomen – bijvoorbeeld door aan schoenen of autobanden te blijven ‘plakken’. Dit onderzoek biedt echter geen ruimte voor twijfel. De oude zirkonen zijn dit keer namelijk aangetroffen in gesteente.
Oude mineralen “De aarde is opgebouwd uit twee onderdelen: continenten – die oud zijn – en oceanen – die ‘jong zijn’,” stelt onderzoeker Lewis Ashwal. “Op de continenten tref je gesteenten aan die meer dan vier miljard jaar oud zijn, maar zoiets vind je nergens in de oceanen aangezien daar nieuwe gesteenten worden gevormd (zie ook het filmpje hieronder, red.). Mauritius is een eiland en op het eiland zijn geen stenen te vinden die meer dan 9 miljoen jaar oud zijn. Maar tijdens het bestuderen van gesteenten op het eiland ontdekten we zirkonen die zo’n drie miljard jaar oud zijn.” Zirkonen zijn mineralen die heel precies gedateerd kunnen worden. “Het feit dat we zirkonen van deze leeftijd hebben aangetroffen, bewijst dat er veel ouder korstmateriaal onder Mauritius zit dat alleen afkomstig kan zijn van een continent.”
Afgebroken Maar wat is precies het verhaal van dit stukje korst? Het brak volgens de onderzoekers af van het eiland Madagaskar toen Afrika, India, Australië en Antarctica zich losmaakten van Gondwana en de Indische Oceaan ontstond. Het stukje korst werd vervolgens bedekt met jong lava tijdens vulkanische erupties (zie kader hieronder).
Mauritius is ontstaan door vulkaanuitbarstingen die zo’n 9 miljoen jaar geleden begonnen. Het eiland maakt deel uit van een keten van eilanden die allemaal het resultaat zijn van erupties. Deze keten ontstaat doordat de vulkaan (hotspot) – die zijn oorsprong vindt diep in de aarde – elke keer op een andere plek door de bewegende oceaanplaat ‘heenprikt’.
Mauritia De onderzoekers vermoeden dat het stukje korst onder Mauritius niet alleen is. Er zouden nog veel meer stukjes vergeten continent zijn die ze samen ‘Mauritia’ hebben gedoopt. Deze stukjes continent zouden zich over de Indische Oceaan hebben verspreid. “Volgens de nieuwe resultaten was er geen sprake van het op simpele wijze uiteenvallen van het supercontinent Gondwana. In plaats daarvan vond een complexe versplintering plaats waarbij fragmenten van continentale korst – van verschillende omvang – op drift raakten in het evoluerende Indische Oceaan-bekken.”
Het volledige onderzoek naar het vergeten stukje continent is terug te vinden in het blad Nature Communications.

Researchers have found evidence that the laws of physics are different for matter and antimatter, which contradicts the Standard Model of particle physics.
If confirmed, this research would force us to reevaluate our entire understanding of the physical world.
THE UNANSWERED QUESTION
The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) works to help us better understand what comprises the fabric of our universe. At this French association, engineers and physicists use particle accelerators and detectors to gain insight into the fundamental properties of matter and the laws of nature. Now, CERN scientists may have found an answer to one of the most pressing mysteries in the Standard Model of Physics, and their research can be found in Nature Physics.
According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe began with the production of equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Since matter and antimatter cancel each other out, releasing light as they destroy each other, only a minuscule number of particles (mostly just radiation) should exist in the universe. But, clearly, we have more than just a few particles in our universe. So, what is the missing piece? Why is the amount of matter and the amount of antimatter so unbalanced?
The Standard Model of particle physics does account for a small percentage of this asymmetry, but the majority of the matter produced during the Big Bang remains unexplained. Noticing this serious gap in information, scientists theorized that the laws of physics are not the same for matter and antimatter (or particles and antiparticles). But how do they differ? Where do these laws separate?
This separation, known as charge-parity (CP) violation, has been seen in hadronic subatomic particles (mesons), but the particles in question are baryons. Finding evidence of CP violation in these particles would allow scientists to calculate the amount of matter in the universe, and answer the question of why we have an asymmetric universe. After decades of effort, the scientists at CERN think they’ve done just that.
Using a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detector, CERN scientists were able to witness CP violation in baryon particles. When smashed together, the matter (Λb0) and antimatter (Λb0-bar) versions of the particles decayed into different components with a significant difference in the quantities of the matter and antimatter baryons. According to the team’s report, “The LHCb data revealed a significant level of asymmetries in those CP-violation-sensitive quantities for the Λb0 and Λb0-bar baryon decays, with differences in some cases as large as 20 percent.”
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This discovery isn’t yet statistically significant enough to claim that it is definitive proof of a CP variation, but most believe that it is only a matter of time. “Particle physics results are dragged, kicking and screaming, out of the noise via careful statistical analysis; no discovery is complete until the chance of it being a fluke is below one in a million. This result isn’t there yet (it’s at about the one-in-a-thousand level),” says scientist Chris Lee. “The asymmetry will either be quickly strengthened or it will disappear entirely. However, given that the result for mesons is well and truly confirmed, it would be really strange for this result to turn out to be wrong.”
This borderline discovery is one huge leap forward in fully understanding what happened before, during, and after the Big Bang. While developments in physics like this may seem, from the outside, to be technical achievements exciting only to scientists, this new information could be the key to unlocking one of the biggest mysteries in modern physics. If the scientists at CERN are able to prove that matter and antimatter do, in fact, obey separate laws of physics, science as we know it would change and we’ll need to reevaluate our understanding of our physical world.
These Supermassive Black Holes Have Completely Stumped Scientis
These Supermassive Black Holes Have Completely Stumped Scientists
Black-hole-powered galaxies called blazars are the most common sources detected by NASA's Fermi. As matter falls toward the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center, some of it is accelerated outward at nearly the speed of light along jets pointed in opposite directions. When one of the jets happens to be aimed in the direction of Earth, as illustrated here, the galaxy appears especially bright and is classified as a blazar.

IN BRIEF
NASA has found evidence of supermassive black holes in galaxies that formed when the universe was just 1.4 billion years old.
This discovery could completely change our understanding of how black holes came together when the universe was just in its infancy.
FROM OUT OF THE DARKNESS
In some ways, astronomy is a lot like time travel. Even with the best telescopes, what we see now has already happened, and in some cases, it happened billions of years ago. The radiation and other signals we pick up take so long to travel to us that the farther away the event was, the longer it takes for us to know about it. Such information can provide scientists with a window into the past, and sometimes, even give us a glimpse at the very foundations of our universe.
Recently, NASA used the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope to intercept intense gamma radiation from some far away, ancient galaxies. The galaxies formed roughly 12 billion years ago and could clue us in to how black holes formed during the universe’s (relative) infancy.
The rays come from super energetic space objects call blazars, which are compact quasars. These objects are found at the centers of active elliptical galaxies that are also home to supermassive black holes. As matter falls into these black holes, they shoot out energy, which moves nearly at the speed of light. Knowing this, we can tell from where and when the energy came.
A DEEPER LOOK
Astronomers are excited by the prospect of studying such old black holes. “Despite their youth, these far-flung blazars host some of the most massive black holes known,” said Roopesh Ojha of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre in a press release. He continued, “That they developed so early in cosmic history challenges current ideas of how supermassive black holes form and grow, and we want to find more of these objects to help us better understand the process.”
Tools such as the Fermi Space Telescope are allowing scientists to reach deeper into space than ever before. Subsequently, that means that we are able to look deeper into the universe’s past. But as with many huge discoveries, the findings present more questions than immediate answers. “The main question now is how these huge black holes could have formed in such a young universe. We don’t know what mechanisms triggered their rapid development,” said another team member, Dario Gasparrini of the Italian Space Agency’s Science Data Centre.
Given what we know about black holes, how these supermassive objects, which pump out two trillion times the energy of our Sun, were able to form is a mystery. Answers to questions like this will help us understand how the universe looked throughout its development, and maybe even what’s in store for the future. For now, NASA will continue to look for more blazars to study, as their orientation causes them to appear clearly on our high-powered equipment. According to Marco Ajello from Clemson University in South Carolina, “We think Fermi has detected just the tip of the iceberg, the first examples of a galaxy population that previously has not been detected in gamma rays.”
The blossoming rose of this distant nebula continues to awe astronomers as the star gives one last spectacular show before its death.
This image of the Cat’s Eye Nebula, NGC 6543, was taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and digitally enhanced by artist Raul Villaverde to show all of the activity bursting from the central star.
The Cat's Eye Nebula is a wonder to scientists.
Scientists are still perplexed by the outer layers surrounding the dying star but theorize that they are produced by convulsions from the star. Like a pulsing heart, the immense energy is pushing out cosmic dust in waves creating a petal-like formation around the Cat’s Eye.
Another theory is that the center star might actually be a binary star system, in which two very close stars are dying simultaneously. Their orbits are still feeding off of each other and may even be gravitationally distorting each other’s atmospheres. This highly magnetized relationship is producing a giant cloud of combined star matter — mostly hydrogen and helium particles — encompassing all other stars and planets around it.
The Cat’s Eye sits in the constellation Draco within the Milky Way and is a thousand times the size of our solar system, spanning nearly half a light year across.
Scientists believe this is the phase our sun will be whirling toward in a matter of 5 billion years. Leaving Earth and the rest of our solar system in total disarray. The Cat’s Eye is a not-so-subtle reminder that life is fleeting and nothing in our universe is constant.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane — it’s a … UFO? Probably not. But there are thousands of recorded alien-like sightings a year in the U.S. And there tend to be commonalities.
1. They occur around government laboratories or military sites
Thousands of UFO sightings have been reported around Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, for example. The most notable of these sightings are the so-called “green fireballs,” which have been controversial since their earliest sighting in the 1940s. Astronomer Lincoln LaPaz was assigned by the U.S. government to investigate the occurrence in 1948. Upon seeing them for himself and gathering observations from locals, he concluded that there were too many anomalous factors to consider them meteors or aliens. To this day, there is no known explanation.
In 1965, at the Edwards Air Force Base in California, another strange incidentoccurred. A tower operator at the base spotted about a dozen flashing red and green lights zipping through the sky. The operator contacted officials at the lab and documented details of the incident, including a 40-minute recording of the exchange between the operator and various officials. The lights persisted in for six hours and eventually ascended into the atmosphere, blending in with the starry night sky. Dozens of local reports cropped up describing eyewitness encounters with the flashes.
The incident was once again, unexplainable. But, it was filed in Project Blue Book, an Air Force investigation that examined two decades of UFO sightings. The project was shut down after four years on the basis that the so-called sightings were not a threat to national security.
2. They defy the laws of physics
Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion: An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. Gravity simply does not allow hovering, bouncing, or zipping of anything in the sky. Yet, most UFO sightings involve some kind of physics-defying property.
The National UFO Reporting Center has a record of nearly all alien sightings in the U.S., though they do not make any claim to the validity of aliens on Earth. On the NUFORC database there are accounts from people in every state who have apparently witnessed an unidentifiable object.
In 2002, a police officer in Montana caught a glimpse of a “floating” object over the highway. It made no noise and had no lights of its own. In 1995, an Alaskan woman driving to work was suddenly engulfed in fog and saw a ship “hovering” over her car. In 2013, in New Hampshire, a family drives on the highway at night and spots orange balls of light just before they “vanish.”
3. There’s a problem with the footage
In an age of Instagram and smartphone cameras, taking photos is practically second nature. Yet, when it comes to taking a simple photograph of a UFO, technology almost always fails us. The objects are too far away, moving too fast, or cannot be detected by cameras. We very rarely see an image that can definitively prove that aliens exist. If a photo is captured, the image often turns out to be a weather balloon or a satellite. Sometimes, it’s nothing more than a funny glare or reflection. Other times it’s a weather phenomenon, like these lenticular clouds in South Africa that freaked everyone out.
There are still some major thresholds to cross before humans will ever believe they aren’t the only intelligent lifeforms in the universe. For now though, it’s safe to assume we are, in fact, alone.

Scientists will discuss UFOs and alien contact at UFO Congress
Scientists will discuss UFOs and alien contact at UFO Congress
It is a common misperception that scientists are not interested in UFOs or claims of alien contact. Scientists have actually been leading proponents of research into these areas, and three will be presenting their findings later this month at the International UFO Congress, the Guinness World Record holding largest UFO convention.
The three scientists include a former nuclear physicist, a neurologist, and a professor from Østfold University College in Norway where they have been investigating strange lights that have been occurring regularly for decades. Each of these men have been left with the conclusion that there is much more of a mystery to these phenomena than the greater scientific community is aware of.
Stanton Friedman began his career as a nuclear physicist, and later became one of the most recognized proponents to the UFO phenomenon. He is credited with being responsible for the massive popularity of the alleged Roswell UFO crash. He was the first to seriously investigate it in the late 70s after interviewing the first Army intelligence officer to look at the crash debris. The, then retired, intelligence officer told Freidman it was no balloon they found in the desert in 1947, as the official Air Force story claims. That lead Friedman to interviewing dozens of additional witnesses who told a similar story. This all eventually culminated into several books published in the 80s and the rise of the Roswell incident’s fame. Now it is a household name.
Friedman will be discussing how Astronomers view the UFO phenomenon, arguing that many of the so-called skeptics, ” have done their research by proclamation rather than investigation.” He will be presenting his lecture on Wednesday, February 15, 2017.
Dr. Bob Davis (Credit: Dr. Bob Davis)
The neuroscientist, Dr. Bob Davis, will be tackling a much more controversial topic, alien abduction. Davis is a former professor at the State University of New York, where he taught for over 30 years. He is internationally recognized in his field. Intrigued by the large number of claims by people saying they have had alien encounters, he was compelled to conduct a research study. His study included over 2300 individuals who, according to Davis, claimed to have “consciously recalled contact experiences with a Non-Human Intelligent Being (NHIB).”
His findings have lead him to believe that there really is something mysterious, and important, taking place. He will share the results of his studies, and his thoughts on the outcome, on Thursday, February 16, 2017.
Friedman and Davis have done their work independent of an official university backed study. However, Erling Strand from Østfold University College in Norway has the unique position of being in charge of a project that investigates UFOs as part of his school’s studies. Strand is the project manager of Project Hessdalen, an investigation into strange lights that have been seen in Norway’s Hessdalen Valley for decades. The phenomenon has been caught on camera by researchers from many different countries. However, the phenomenon remains unsolved.
Strand will be sharing his findings, showing pictures and video of the lights, and the details of a student science camp that is held in the valley to research the phenomenon. He says, although some suspect the lights to be some sort of natural occurrence, there is not enough evidence to come to that conclusion, and, shockingly, he has not ruled out the possibility of some sort of non-human intelligence at work. Strand will present on the Hessdalen Lights on Saturday, February 18, 2017.
About the International UFO Congress
The International UFO Congress is presented by OpenMinds.tv, an Arizona based organization dedicated to the dissemination of information related to UFOs and the search for extraterrestrial life.

FBI Quietly Declassified Secret Files Attesting Hitler Fled to Argentina in 1945
FBI Quietly Declassified Secret Files Attesting Hitler Fled to Argentina in 1945
On April 30 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker. His body was later discovered and identified by the Soviets before being rushed back to Russia. Or was it?
Newly declassified FBI documents prove that the government knew Hitler was alive and well, and living in the Andes Mountains long after World War II.
Is it really possible that the Soviets have been lying all this time, and that history has purposely been rewritten?
No one thought so until the release of the FBI documents. It seems that it is possible that the most hated man in history escaped war torn Germany and lived a bucolic and peaceful life in the beautiful foothills of the Andes Mountains.
The Intelligence Community Knew
Recently released FBI documents are beginning to show that not only was Hitler and Eva Braun’s suicide faked, the infamous pair might have had help from the Swiss Director of the United States OSS himself, Allen Dulles.
In one FBI document from Los Angles, it is revealed that the agency was well aware of a mysterious submarine making its way up the Argentinian coast dropping off high level Nazi officials. What is even more astonishing is the fact that the FBI knew he was in fact living in the foothills of the Andes.
Who is the Mysterious Informant?
In a Los Angeles letter to the Bureau in August of 1945, an unidentified informant agreed to exchange information for political asylum. What he told agents was stunning.
The informant not only knew Hitler was in Argentina, he was one of the confirmed four men who had met the German submarine. Apparently, two submarines had landed on the Argentinian coast, and Hitler with Eva Braun was on board the second.
The Argentinian government not only welcomed the former German dictator, but also aided in his hiding. The informant went on to not only give detailed directions to the villages that Hitler and his party had passed through, but also credible physical details concerning Hitler.
While for obvious reasons the informant is never named in the FBI papers, he was credible enough to be believed by some agents.
The FBI Tried to Hide Hitler’s Whereabouts
Even with a detailed physical description and directions the FBI still did not follow up on these new leads.
Even with evidence placing the German sub U-530 on the Argentinian coast shortly before finally surrounding, and plenty of eye witness accounts of German official being dropped off, no one investigated.

Federal Bureau of Investigation's website, FBI.gov
Even More Evidence is Found
Along with the FBI documents detailing an eye witness account of Hitler’s whereabouts in Argentina, more evidence is coming to light to help prove that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not die in that bunker.
In 1945, the Naval Attaché in Buenos Aires informed Washington there was a high probability that Hitler and Eva Braun had just arrived in Argentina.
This coincides with the sightings of the submarine U-530. Added proof comes in the form of newspaper articles detailing the construction of a Bavarian styled mansion in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
Perhaps the most damming evidence that Hitler did survive the fall of Germany lies in Russia. With the Soviet occupation of Germany, Hitler’s supposed remains were quickly hidden and sent off to Russia, never to be seen again.
That is until 2009, when an archeologist from Connecticut State, Nicholas Bellatoni was allowed to perform DNA testing on one of the skull fragments recovered.
What he discovered set off a reaction through the intelligence and scholarly communities. Not only did the DNA not match any recorded samples thought to be Hitler’s, they did not match Eva Braun’s familiar DNA either. So the question is, what did the Soviets discover in the bunker, and where is Hitler?
It was not only General Eisenhower who was concerned over Hitler’s compete disappearance, Stalin also expressed his concerns.
In 1945, the Stars and Stripes newspaper quoted then General Eisenhower as believing that the real possibility existed of Hitler living safely and comfortably in Argentina.
Official OSS pictures show possible appearances of Adolf Hitler in 1944
For those of you who think Hitler could not have lived for so long without people identifying him, please note that even a slight change in appearance can alter a person's entire physiognomy:
The first one is a genuine picture of Adolf Hitler and the following five were made by Eddie Senz, a New York make-up artist, for the OSS on 6 June 1944.
Would you have recognized him in the 2nd, 4th, 5th or 6th pictures, even if you were to see him face to face, in a foreign country? (Please remember that these pictures represent only very small changes of the facial hair and haircut, not plastic surgery).
With all of the new found evidence coming to light, it is possible and even likely that not only did Hitler escape from Germany; he had the help of the international intelligence community.
Released FBI documents prove that they were not only aware of Hitler’s presence in Argentina; they were also helping to cover it up.
Living in Space Proven to Transform Humans on a Genetic Level
Living in Space Proven to Transform Humans on a Genetic Level
Futurism
IN BRIEF
Data collected from twin astronauts while one was aboard the ISS for 340 days and the other was on the ground has yielded new insights into how space affects the human body.
These insights will be extremely valuable in the future as we plan longer exploratory space missions and contemplate space tourism.
SPACE TWINS
Heading into space is certainly a life-changing experience for each of the lucky astronauts who have had the privilege. But who could have thought that it actually changes you on a genetic level? Thanks to a pair of twin astronauts, NASA has been able to study the changes to the bodies of those who spend long periods of time in space to a degree that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.
To determine how space changes the human body, researchers collected a variety of biological samples from twins Mark and Scott Kelley while Scott was spending 340 days aboard the International Space Station and Mark was left on the ground. The twins were excellent subjects for this kind of research as not only do they have nearly identical genomes, they have also had similar life experiences since they’re even in the same line of work.
In evaluating the brothers’ data, the researchers noticed some striking differences in various biological markers, such as gut bacteria and even chromosomes. One of the more remarkable findings of the testing was that Scott’s telemores, the ends of his chromosomes, were longer, though they eventually returned to pre-mission lengths. Further research will be done on other astronauts to see if this is a common pattern. Also in the genetic realm, Scott’s DNA methylation levels decreased during his time in space, while Mark’s increased in the same period. Once again, Scott’s levels returned to their baseline levels once he was back on Earth, but researchers aren’t sure what such changes even mean.

DNA CHANGES
According to NASA, other studies of how the body fares in space have shown clear differences in spatial orientation, bone density loss at rates up to 12 times higher than those on Earth, loss of muscle strength, and cardiovascular deconditioning. In this study, however, researchers were able to compare genetic changes with samples from a control, providing a more complete picture of the effect.
There is still much analysis to do on the data being gathered, as well as from data that can be gathered from other astronauts. According to Christopher Mason of Weill Cornell Medicine, “The data are so fresh that some of them are still coming off the sequencing machines.” The results have yet to be peer-reviewed, and it could be a few years before they are, given the sheer volume of data.
As we get closer to being able to put a human on Mars, this work becomes more valuable. The trip to the Red Planet alone is a six-month journey. Therefore, crews would be spending at least a year in space. Knowing that our astronauts will be safe is of the utmost importance, and not only for Mars — we will likely be seeing more people in space, in general, especially with the coming of private space stations on the horizon. Knowing how space impacts our bodies is the first step in determining how we can mitigate any deleterious effects for our future adventurers.
The latest new genetic studies suggests that a lineage of Egyptian pharaohs were subjected to wilful genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced Alien civilization
The latest new genetic studies suggests that a lineage of Egyptian pharaohs were subjected to wilful genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced Alien civilization
This could be a major game changer for the human race – although the media appear intriguingly silent about this INCREDIBLE discovery!?
Egyptian Pharaohs Were Extraterrestrial Origin and Were Giants
µ
The latest new genetic studies suggests that a lineage of Egyptian pharaohs were subjected to wilful genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced Alien civilization – this could very well be the truth that this planet needs in confirming that designers and builders of the impressive pyramids had a very strong connection with ET beings that originated elsewhere in the universe, far far away!
It was a gentleman called ‘Stuart Fleischmann’, who is the Assistant Professor of Comparative Genomics at the Swiss University in Cairo and his team who have recently published the results of a long 7-year study that mapped the genomes of 9 ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. If proven correct, their findings could potentially change the world’s history books forever and our understanding of our place in the Universe!
