Stephen Hawking, the world’s most renowned physicist and cosmologist, stated today that he is, in fact, heading to space—and it’s happening all thanks to the Virgin group (and a bit of modern technology).
In a statement back in 2015, Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin group, said that, one day, he hoped to be able to carry Hawking to the stars. In the statement, Branson noted that this offer came as a result of the great respect and admiration that he has for Hawking:
Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the people I admire most in the world, an undisputed genius who has opened our eyes to the wonders of the universe, while also happening to be a kind and delightful man. He is the only person I have given a free ticket with Virgin Galactic, and he is signed up to fly as a Future Astronaut with us if his health permits it.
At 75 years of age, Hawking won’t be the oldest astronaut ever (that designation belongs to John Glenn, who went to space at the age of 77), but he will be the first person to go to space with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is a motor-neuron disease that generally leads to death within five years of the initial diagnosis. Hawking’s condition was first diagnosed when he was 21, and he was not expected to see his 25th birthday.
Fast-forward 50 years, and here we are.
Traveling to space, of course, is risky business, even more so when health concerns come into play. Now, it seems that Hawking is set to go. Hawking’s voyage to space will also give scientists an opportunity to study the effects of ALS in new ways, such as how it operates in zero-gravity.
When discussing the anticipated event, Hawking told Good Morning Britain that he never dreamed he’d have such an opportunity, and that he “said yes immediately.” Hawking continued by noting that he looks forward to the voyage with great anticipation, comparing flying into space to the same joy that his three children have brought him. During the discussion, he stated, “my three children have brought me great joy – and I can tell you what will make me happy, to travel in space.”
Of course, space is one thing, but this isn’t the first time Hawking experienced Zero-G…
A New Age in Flight
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo is a reusable, winged spacecraft designed to carry up to eight people (including two pilots) into space, and the link between Hawking and Virgin Galactic isn’t exactly new. Just last year, Hawking unveiled the name of the SpaceShipTwo craft, the VSS Unity. During a four-minute recorded video, Hawking explained that the Unity: “will help bring new meaning to our place on Earth and to our responsibilities as its stewards, and it will help us to recognize our place and our future in the cosmos — which is where I believe our ultimate destiny lies.”
Ultimately, Hawking has long been an advocate of commercial spaceflight, and to this end, he notes that he greatly admires Virgin Galactic’s role in democratizing space, specifically, he clarified his “respect for enabling more of humanity to experience the true wonder of space.”
I have said in the past ‘Look up at the stars and not down at your feet’, but I believe that ‘looking up’ will no longer be a requirement to see the universe in all its glory.
In Hawking’s interview with Good Morning Britain, he focused on the importance of the unifying power of space exploration, especially in terms of bringing together governments from across the globe and inspiring future generations.
As Alan Stern, head of the New Horizons mission to Pluto, famously stated, enterprises like this are worthy for a number of reasons, but that, for him, two stick out in particular: “Beyond the obvious—that we’re creating new knowledge—we create a greater society. We do something which is, in the case of great exploration, historic. It’s something people read about, not just days and weeks later, but decades and centuries later. It makes a mark for our time of what we aspire to be, which is a greater society.”
In short, the things that we invest in (whether that is sports, or war, or science) are a direct reflection of both the values that we hold and the society that we are currently building. And as is clear from this revelation, Hawking truly believes in going where no one’s gone before—or at least, only a very few people.
Humanity’s first spacewalk seems even crazier 52 years later.
March 18, 1965 was an ordinary Thursday for the majority of people located on planet Earth. But for 30-year-old cosmonaut Alexey Leonov, one of two people who happened to be off-world at the time, it was all about making history and cheating death.
Exactly 52 years ago this Saturday, Leonov and mission commander Pavel Belyayev blasted into space aboard the Soviet spacecraft Voskhod ("Sunrise") 2. Several crews, both Russian and American, had already orbited Earth, so Voskhod 2 had been tasked with pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight to the next level—a spacewalk, or EVA (extravehicular activity). His audacious mission has since been commemorated with books, stamps, pop culture homages, and an upcoming feature-length film.

About ninety minutes after lift-off, Leonov made his way into the ship's Volga inflatable airlock, secured a 5.35-meter (17.6 foot) tether around his torso, opened the hatch, and ventured out into the unknown with only a spacesuit to protect him. It was the first time any human had left the safety of a spacecraft and free-floated in orbit. A Volga-mounted camera that Leonov had set up on his way out captured the extraordinary moment.
A second camera attached to Leonov's chest did not fare so well, because Leonov's spacesuit unexpectedly puffed up in response to the atmospheric pressure shift. As a result, he was unable to reach the shutter switch on his thigh (though this didn't prevent later artistic renditions of the event from depicting him in an idealized cameraman pose).

Leonov apparently didn't worry much about his inflating spacesuit, becoming enraptured instead with his unobstructed view of Earth. He described the feeling as "like a seagull with its wings outstretched, soaring high above the Earth," in the book Two Sides of the Moon, co-written with American astronaut David Scott, the seventh man to walk on the lunar surface.
"I heard Pasha talking to me: 'It's time to come back in,'" Leonov recalled. "I realized I had been floating free in space for over ten minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, 'Lyosha, it's time to come inside now.' With some reluctance I acknowledged that it was time to re-enter the spacecraft."
But returning to Voskhod 2 would not be so easy. Leonov's inflated suit had become stiff over the 12-minute space walk, and it was too large and rigid to fit back in the airlock.
Realizing their star cosmonaut was stuck in space, Soviet mission control cut the live-feed, and ominously replaced it with a rendition of Mozart's Requiem. Meanwhile, Leonov decided to deflate the suit by releasing the oxygen valve. Fortunately, he was able to squeeze back into the Volga module before his breathable air ran out, and before heatstroke and decompression sickness overtook him.
That's when things got really interesting for the crew of Voskhod 2.
After jettisoning the Volga airlock and preparing for reentry, Leonov noticed that the automatic guidance system was malfunctioning. With mere minutes to go until they hit the atmosphere, Leonov and Belyayev had to scramble to manually orient themselves and calculate a retrorocket firing sequence that would land them safely within Soviet borders.
It worked...kind of. After an extremely rough descent at high pressures of 10 gs, Voskhod 2 touched down in the Soviet Union. But they ended up way off course in a remote wolf-infested Siberian forest near the town of Solikamsk, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the planned landing site.
Leonov recalls Belyayev asking how soon he thought rescuers would come for them. "In three months, maybe, they'll find us with dog sleighs," Leonov joked (one of many instances of astronaut/cosmonaut gallows humor).
But as luck would have it, the pair did not have to brave the freezing temperatures for long. Though they spent one perilous night without heat hiding in the capsule, they were found by a well-stocked rescue team the following day. The crew spent a second night in a fire-warmed makeshift shelter before finally skiing to safety, and from there, world renown. Sadly, Belyayev only got to enjoy his fame for five years; he passed away in January 1970, from peritonitis.
Leonov, at 82, is still an active spaceflight advocate and science fiction artist. He was initially celebrated for securing an important spaceflight milestone, but once the full story was declassified and he could share his experiences, his narrow survival added a new layer of interest in the event.
As Leonov put in 2015: "I keep going over the mission and I keep finding mistakes that could have been avoided. They could have led to tragedy. Everything was on the edge."
If all this action has you itching for a movie about this roller-coaster of a mission, you might want to check out the newest trailer for Время первых (First Time). It's a feature film, directed by Yuri Bykov, about Voskhod 2 set to premiere in Russia in April 2017.
Of course, if you'd prefer a dumbed-down, inebriated version of the story, there's always this Drunk History segment on the mission narrated by Kyle Kinane.
Either way, it's worth remembering and celebrating the quick wits and badassery of Leonov and Belyayev on the 52nd anniversary of their historic achievement. Today, over 200 spacewalkers have followed Leonov's lead into outer space by performing their own EVAs. But as per Bykov's film title, only one can be first.
ASTRONOMERS FIND HUNDREDS OF POTENTIALLY ALIEN SIGNALS
ASTRONOMERS FIND HUNDREDS OF POTENTIALLY ALIEN SIGNALS
Astronomy researchers at Laval University studied signals from 2.5 million stars to look for periodic patterns, or what might look like regular pulsing signals.
They found 234 of them, and they have no clear explanation of what they are. One of the possible theories they mention in their published paper is extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI).
They think the pulses look like a signal an intelligent alien might choose to send if they were trying to make contact. Of course, the researchers aren't concluding that this is what it is. They also looked for alternative explanations like naturally occurring spectral lines or rotating molecules, but none of these are good enough to say for sure that it isn't aliens, either.
Interestingly, these signals tended to come from stars of similar size and characteristics as our own sun. We already know that a star like this can support intelligent life around it, as evidenced by us being here ourselves, so for the believers in the extraterrestrial life theory, this is good news. Humans have sent and are still sending many different signals to try to contact whatever other life might exist, so it makes sense that we should also listen in case someone is trying to reach us.
The researchers themselves are cautious and call for additional independent studies to confirm their findings. The Breakthrough Listen Initiative, which works on listening for potential messages from extraterrestrial intelligence, agrees. They're quoted by Tech Insider saying "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", an attitude that speaks well of their commitment to using reliable scientific methods and avoiding unfounded conspiracies.
They are however making plans to study some of these 234 stars further, to see if they can replicate the findings from the original study. It is still possible that this could be the signal that confirms someone is out there, trying to let us know they're there.
A few days following the first reports, the lights were spotted again at various locations around Washtenaw County, with one deputy reporting something floating in the sky - described as looking like a "child's top."
March 20, 1966
On Sunday, March 20, 1966, the sheriff's office received reports of a UFO landing in a wooded, swamp area of Dexter Township. Police spoke to Frank Mannor, a truck driver who had gone into the swamp with his son. Here's what Mannor told police:
"We got to about 500 yards of the thing,” Mannor told interviewers. “It was sort of shaped like a pyramid, with a blue-green light on the right-hand side and on the left, a white light. I didn’t see no antenna or porthole. The body was like a yellowish coral rock and looked like it had holes in it—sort of like if you took a piece of cardboard box and split it open. You couldn’t see it too good because it was surrounded with heat waves, like you see on the desert. The white light turned to a blood red as we got close to it and Ron said, ‘Look at that horrible thing.’”
Here's the report from the NICAP:Frank Mannor and his son, Ronald [plus 40-60 others including 12 policemen ?] saw hovering over a swamp about 1,500 ft away a brown luminous car sized object, with a "scaly" or "waffled" surface, cone-shaped on top, flat on bottom, or football shaped, and 2 bluish-green lights on right and left edges that turned bright red and helped illuminate object in between. Lights blinked out and object reappeared instantly across the swamp 1,500 ft away. The whole object lit up with a yellowish glow at one point and also rose up 500 ft then descended again. After 2-3 minutes of viewing, when 2 flashlights appeared in the distance the object seemed to respond by flying away at high speed directly over the witnesses with a whistling sound like a rifle bullet ricocheting. Object remained in the swamp area for 1/2 hr.
The report gained national attention. More than 40 officers joined a search of the swamp. Odd sightings continued, with officers spotting red and white lights in the sky, flying back and forth and then disappearing.
The next night, more than 80 students at Hillsdale College reported seeing lights in a nearby swamp.
The UFO craze took over, and reports from all around the Ann Arbor area, as well as surrounding areas in Michigan, started pouring in.
Here come the investigators
Michigan congressman Weston Vivian requested that the U.S. Air Force send an investigator from Project Blue Book, the agency that studied UFOs.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer from Northwestern, was tasked with the investigation.
Hynek arrived on March 23, touring the areas of sightings himself. What he found was something he called "near hysteria."
“It’s like reports from people who witness a fire,” Hynek told the press at the time. “You get as many different facts as you get people who saw the fire. So far, all I’ve been able to come up with is reports of a variety of lights.”
Under pressure for an explanation, Hynek told reporters during a press conference on March 25 that the sightings were simply mistaken observations of the moon and stars, and the Dexter UFO was just swamp gas.
Wait, swamp gas?
The swamp gas theory didn't go over so well. Many thought it was a huge cover-up. Several publications accused the government of hiding evidence.
A swamp Is a place of rotting vegetation and decomposition. Swamps are not a province of astronomers. Yet,the famous Dutch astronomer, Ninnaert, in his book, Light and Colour in the Open Air, describes lights that have been seen In swamps by the astronomer Bessel and other excellent observers. The lights resemble tiny flames some times seen right on the ground and sometimes rising and floating above it. The flames go out in one place and suddenly appear in another, giving the Illusion of motion. The colors are sometimes yellow, some times red, and sometimes blue-green. No heat is felt, and the lights do not burn or char the ground. They can appear for hours at a stretch and sometimes for a whole night. Generally, there Is no smell and no sound except for the popping sound of little explosions such as when a gas burner ignites.
Congressman (and future President) Gerald Ford called for a congressional investigation.
During all of this, UFO sightings continued pouring in from all over Michigan, and around the country.
UFO frenzy dies down, but mystery remains
By April 1966, the UFO frenzy had died down in Michigan, but the swamp gas explanation is still talked about to this day.
Thirty years later, Douglas Harvey, Washtenaw County sheriff at the time of the original sightings told The Ann Arbor News he and Dr. Hynek were talking in the sheriff’s office and the scientist admitted he didn’t know what the witnesses had seen, but felt it was worthy of further investigation.
"He was on the phone for quite a while, which I found very enlightening,'' Harvey said. "He came out and I said, 'Well, Dr. Hynek. What do you think?' He said, 'It's swamp gas.' He tells me one minute he has no idea what it is. And then he makes one phone call to Washington and comes out and gives a statement that it's swamp gas. Very strange.''
"They did see something,'' he said. "I'll believe this to the day I die. Somebody has kept something quiet, and nothing more ever materialized. So we don't know if it was the government experimenting, or was it really a UFO. I don't know.''

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – A federal court on Wednesday ordered the desegregation of all Alabama schools not already under court order and, in an unprecedented move, laid the burden of enforcement on the state itself. The three-judge court in its unanimous ruling ordered the state to require affected school systems to submit desegregation plans for the 1967-68 school term. Gov. Lurleen Wallace declined comment pending official notification of the ruling. Her husband, George C. Wallace, whom she succeeded, has long fought against integration.
A new unidentified flying object sighting was made by three sheriff’s deputies and several others Thursday night, according to a report filed Friday. Undersheriff Frank Takala said the object hovered north and west of Gore Hill. The report said the UFO was yellow in color and seemed to emit a red glow from top and bottom. After remaining motionless in an overcast and starless night, it traveled west and disappeared. The undersheriff said it appeared to be about six times as large as the largest star that can be seen on a clear night. UFOs were also reported near Vaughn, Fort Benton and Choteau on Tuesday night.
VAIL, Colo. – French skier Jean-Claude Killy made it four in a row Sunday as he sped through a blinding snowstorm to win the men’s giant slalom at the Vail Trophy race. Killy made the mile-long, 47-gate course in 1:42.83, seemingly unbothered by the poor visibility and rutted, icy trace. “Other people have five senses, but Killy has six,” French coach Honore Bonnet explained.
Firemen had to watch their equipment with one eye and the work at hand with the other Friday afternoon while fighting a fire at the resident of Joe Slemberger, 3209 6th Ave. S. Children in the area made off with a hydrant wrench while firemen were busy and almost got a hand radio valued at about $500 before a fireman saw a child running across a lawn with it. A fire official had left it near the home before going into the smoky basement to inspect damage.
100 Years Ago
From the Tribune week of March 19, 1917
That interest in naval and military matters are not confined to the males was evidenced a day or two ago when a young woman appeared at the navy recruiting office in the Simpson building and inquired as to the possibilities of her admission to the service. She said she had been told that the Navy Department was taking on women as stenographers and other work. Chief Petty Officer A. Foltz, who is in charge of the station, was compelled to decline to accept the proffered enlistment. So far during the present month five enlisted men only have been sent out from this station.
NEW YORK – James W. Gerard, former American ambassador to Germany, in an address before the New York chamber of commerce today, urged his hearers to go forth as missionaries of preparedness. Mr. Gerard predicted that if war should come, the U.S. would be faced with a great problem in dealing with “our alien enemy population.” “The question is,” he said, “’Shall we intern them as was done in Germany, or shall we allow them to roam at large, destroying bridges or anything else they can?’”
CHINOOK W.M. – Wooldridge came up from his ranch at Hinsdale yesterday for a brief stay. Mr. Wooldridge says the feed situation is very alarming all over northern Montana. Not since the country was first settled has there been such a long and hard winter for cattlemen and sheep men. Until this winter, Mr. Wooldridge has never been able to make a price for hay that could compete with prices in Lewistown and Butte, but now the dealers will pay almost any old price that is asked.
FORT WORTH, Texas – Military training for professional baseball players has proved that it possesses a triple value at least. It varies the monotony of spring training; it improves the morale of a team; and it is a start toward providing Uncle Sam with a considerable number of good soldiers if he needs them. The results of the innovation, as far as the White Sox are concerned, has been very surprising. The players, almost without exception, took hold with determination and seriousness.
WASHINGTON – The principal American copper producers have agreed to furnish the government the copper needed for the army and navy during the coming year at 16 and a fraction cents a pound, about one-half of the current market price. Forty-five million pounds is the amount to be delivered. It is the first big concession in response to the appeals to the patriotism of the country’s industries since the Navy’s agreements with the shipbuilders and steel makers for profit cutting.
Tussen 1945 tot 1962 experimenteerden de Amerikanen volop met kernwapens in de Nevadawoestijn en op de Marshall Eilanden in de Stille Oceaan, ten noordwesten van Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea. 210 van die mega-explosies werden voor het ministerie van Defensie gefilmd. De beelden waren decennia lang staatsgeheim. Tot nu.
De tests werden gefilmd vanuit verschillende standpunten, wat tegen de 7.000 filmpjes opleverde. Ze lagen opgeslagen in de kluizen van het Los Alamos National Laboratory in de woestijn in New Mexico.
Al dat celluloid beeldmateriaal dreigde daar te vergaan door de tand des tijds en onbruikbaar te worden. Het materiaal werd gered door een expert van het Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. De eerste reeks filmpjes is nu deze week vrijgegeven.
Paddenstoelen Het zijn de paddenstoelen die niemand wil zien. Kilometers hoog walmen ze omhoog. Alles verzengend in helse temperaturen. Wat er onder die kokende wolk gebeurde, leerde de wereld in Hiroshima en Nagasaki. Beide Japanse steden werden in 1945 vernietigd door Amerikaanse kernbommen die werden geworpen om het verzet van Japan te breken en het einde van de oorlog bespoedigen.
Een kwart miljoen burgers kwam meteen om, nog eens honderdduizenden stierven daarna als gevolg van stralingsziekten Maar nog was het niet gedaan. De kernmachten stonden tegenover elkaar en testten steeds dodelijkere wapens. De Verenigde Staten alleen al deden honderden nucleaire tests in de kilste jaren van de Koude Oorlog - net als andere grote mogendheden trouwens, waaronder Rusland.
YouTube Een deel van de beeldbank van Amerikaanse kernproeven -zowat 750 filmpjes- wordt niet langer als gevoelige informatie beschouwd, aldus Greg Spriggs, de leider van het restauratieproject. Ze mogen dus op YouTube.
"Het is ongelooflijk hoeveel energie vrijkomt", klinkt het in de omschrijving. "We hopen dat we nooit meer atoomwapens hoeven te gebruiken. Als we de kracht van dit soort wapens laten zien en de verwoesting die ze teweegbrengen, zullen mensen misschien terughoudender zijn om ze ooit nog in te zetten."
Duizenden getuigen Vele duizenden Amerikaanse soldaten en ingenieurs waren destijds getuige van de atoomproeven. Een van hen was Frank Farmer, in de New York Times deed hij zijn verhaal. "Het licht was zo fel dat je de botten in je hand zag", klonk het.
Zonder dat ze het wisten, werden veel militairen overigens ook besmet. Een aantal onder hen stierf aan kanker.
Na 1963 werden de bovengrondse kernproeven verboden in een internationaal verdrag en gingen de Amerikanen ondergronds door. Die tests zijn inmiddels ook verleden tijd. Amerikaanse kernbommen worden tegenwoordig gesimuleerd op de computer.
Tussen 1945 en 1962 testten de Verenigde Staten naar schatting 200 verschillende nucleaire wapens. Deze tests werden door de Amerikanen allemaal op beeld vastgelegd en gearchiveerd. Een team van onderzoekers heeft de collectie nu van de vernieling gered en op YouTube geplaatst.
UFOs hunters claim footage of “multiple” mysterious objects shooting past the International Space Station is conclusive evidence aliens exist.
The astonishing footage shows what appear to be several unidentified objects hurtling through space in the background.
Extraordinary theories suggesting aliens are watching the ISS have been circulating online for years.
NASA has repeatedly dismissed claims of alien sightings as nothing more than hoaxes.
But truth seekers are convinced the latest bombshell film is conclusive proof “there are unknown manned objects flying out there in space”.

MYSTERY: Aliens hunters claim NASA footage shows UFOs flying past the ISS
In the clip Samantha Cristoforetti, an Italian European Space Agency astronaut, is seen demonstrating how to operate window shutters at the ISS.
But as she talks to the camera, several white objects appear to come shooting into view.
Tyler Glockner posted the footage, uploaded on March 18, 2017, to his UFO sightings YouTube channel Secure Team.
He describes one of the unknown objects seen hurtling past the ISS as a “smoking gun UFO”.

MYSTERY: Multiple objects flying past the ISS are seen in the clip
Are aliens at WAR on the moon?
“There are multiple UFOs that can be seen speeding by.”
Tyler Glockner, of Secure Team
In the 14-minute video, he explains: “I do believe that we have some undeniable footage that will prove that there are unknown manned objects flying out there in space.
“I’m not talking about space debris or any of the usual go-to excuses used by NASA.
“I’ve had a tonne of people saying there is a point in this video when, moment after [Samantha] opens up this window hatch, there are multiple UFOs that can be seen speeding by.”
NASA
COVER UP: Truth seekers claim NASA are hiding the truth about aliens
In the comments of the video, many fellow UFO hunters agreed the objects are “proof of aliens”.
One wrote: “You're dumb to think we are the only life forms in the universe lol.”
Another posted: “If you look closer the second object is actually following the first one! The first object disappears for a second then reappears in the top left hand corner.”

Two UFOs Pass Over Volcano Mouth In Mexico, Lighting Up Above Volcano, March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Two UFOs Pass Over Volcano Mouth In Mexico, Lighting Up Above Volcano, March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 19, 2017 Location of sighting: Popocatepetl Volcano, Mexico These UFOs were caught on the live volcano camera this week. As the first one passes over the mouth of the volcano, it lights up fully...with glowing orbs all round it. You now see three instead of two. Clearly the UFO did something as it passed over the mouth of the volcano, probably dropping off or picking up passengers and supplies for the alien base below. Scott C. Waring
Giant 200 Meter Beam Of Light Over Volcano And It Moves! March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Giant 200 Meter Beam Of Light Over Volcano And It Moves! March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 2017 Location of sighting: Mount Etna, Sicily, Italy This giant 200 meter beam of light was seen over the volcano mouth, then it began to move to the right, as if a space ship was beaming someone down and didn't account for the rotation of the earth speed. Very amazing sighting and it was caught byBPEarthWatch of Youtube. He gets scared sometimes when he posts alien subject material and then he delete these videos...someone should make a back up just in case this happens again like last time he posted one. Scott C.

Huge UFOs caught on tape over Henderson, Nevada 17-Mar-2017
Huge UFOs caught on tape over Henderson, Nevada 17-Mar-2017
Here’s another interesting footage of a huge unidentified flying objects hovering above Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada. This was filmed on Friday, 17th March 2017.
An amazing cluster of strange lights was spotted flying towards a local body of water. Two observers reportedly sighted the unusual event in the nighttime sky and observed it for around one hour.
One witness sent photos and a video to NUFORC, which described them to be high quality.
Anyone who saw the same objects in the NUFORC website is encouraged to submit a written report using the Online Report Form.
According to the reporting witness, the UFOs appeared to be barbell-shaped.
Some viewers of the video thought they were planes at first but doubted with their formation if they were indeed planes. One comment says that if they are not planes then, they are unidentified. Commenter tall32guy said, “Bizarre, a bit spooky to me, indeed.”

NASA scientists have proposed a bold plan that could give Mars its atmosphere back and make the Red Planet habitable for future generations of human colonists.
By launching a giant magnetic shield into space to protect Mars from solar winds, the space agency says we could restore the Red Planet’s atmosphere, and terraform the Martian environment so that liquid water flows on the surface once again.
Mars may seem like a cold, arid wasteland these days, but the Red Planet is thought to have once had a thick atmosphere that could have maintained deep oceans filled with liquid water, and a warmer, potentially habitable climate.
Scientists think Mars lost all of this when its protective magnetic field collapsed billions of years ago, and solar wind – high-energy particles projected from the Sun – has been stripping the Red Planet’s atmosphere away ever since.
Now, new simulations by NASA suggest there could be a way to naturally give Mars its thick atmosphere back – and it doesn’t require nuking the Red Planet into submission, as Elon Musk once proposed.
Instead, the space agency thinks a powerful-enough magnetic shield launched into space could serve as a replacement for Mars’s own lost magnetosphere, giving the planet a chance to naturally restore its own atmosphere.
In new findings presented at the Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop last week, NASA’s Planetary Science Division director, Jim Green, said launching an “artificial magnetosphere” into space between Mars and the Sun could hypothetically shield the Red Planet in the extended magnetotail that trails behind the protective field.
“This situation then eliminates many of the solar wind erosion processes that occur with the planet’s ionosphere and upper atmosphere allowing the Martian atmosphere to grow in pressure and temperature over time,” the researchers explain in anaccompanying paper.
While the team acknowledges that the concept might sound “fanciful”, they point to existing miniature magnetosphere researchbeing conducted to protect astronauts and spacecraft from cosmic radiation, and think that the same technology on a larger scale could be used to shield Mars.
“It may be feasible that we can get up to these higher field strengths that are necessary to provide that shielding,” Green said in his presentation.
“We need to be able then to also modify that direction of the magnetic field so that it always pushes the solar wind away.”
In the team’s simulations, if the solar wind were counteracted by the magnetic shield, Mars’s atmospheric losses would stop, and the atmosphere would regain as much as half the atmospheric pressure of Earth in a matter of years.
As the atmosphere becomes thicker, the team estimates Mars’s climate would become around 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer, which would be enough to melt carbon dioxide ice over the Red Planet’s northern polar cap.
If this happened, the carbon in the atmosphere would help to trap heat like it does on Earth, triggering a greenhouse effect that could melt Mars’s water ice, giving the Red Planet back its liquid water in the form of flowing rivers and oceans.
If all of this were to occur as the team anticipates – and admittedly, that’s a pretty fantastical if – it’s possible that, within the space of a couple of generations, Mars could regain some of its lost Earth-like habitability.
“This is not terraforming as you may think of it where we actually artificially change the climate, but we let nature do it, and we do that based on the physics we know today,” Green said.
The team acknowledges that the plan is largely hypothetical at this point, but it’s a pretty amazing vision for what might be possible in the years ahead. The researchers intend to keep studying the possibilities to get a more accurate estimate of how long the climate-altering effects would take.
If the concept does prove workable, there’s no telling just how much it would alter the prospects of colonising Mars in the future.
“Much like Earth, an enhanced atmosphere would: allow larger landed mass of equipment to the surface, shield against most cosmic and solar particle radiation, extend the ability for oxygen extraction, and provide ‘open air’ green-houses to exist for plant production, just to name a few,” the researchers explain.
“If this can be achieved in a lifetime, the colonisation of Mars would not be far away.”
IF YOU THINK WE ARE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE – YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE THIS
IF YOU THINK WE ARE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE – YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE THIS
One of the most popular questions today is, “Are we alone in the universe?” Believe it or not, you’re in the minority if you believe that absolutely no intelligent life exists outside of planet Earth. In the United States alone, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the universe. Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent believe there is not. A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extraterrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a long time. (source)
Here’s one of them:
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” (source) (source) – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force Captain, and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences
There are multiple reasons why the extraterrestrial question continues to gain popularity. People are starting to ask questions about the world around them, utilizing critical thinking and investigative skills. After thoroughly looking into this topic, it seems inevitable that you will arrive at these conclusions: We are not alone, and we are being visited.
1. The Size of the Universe
How often do you look up into the night sky and wonder just how many stars, planets, galaxies, and more are out there? Space has always fascinated us. From scientists and philosophers to artists and poets (and pretty much just about everyone else, too), we all want to know what’s out there. What is it about deep space that so ignites our collective imagination? Thinking about just how big the universe is can really put things into perspective.
Counting the stars in the universe is like trying to count the number of sand grains on a beach (impossible). Although estimates vary among different experts, the general consensus is that there are at least between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in our universe. Think about that for a moment, and now throw in billions of stars in each galaxy! (source) And for all we know, this number could very easily be in the trillions.
Take the Milky Way Galaxy for example, which measures about 120,000 light years across (it would take light that many years to travel across the galaxy), and contains up to 400 billion stars.
Again, we’re talking about billions of galaxies that contain billions of stars. (source)
Scientists estimate that at least 10 billion habitable Earth-sized planets exist in the Milky Way alone, but it’s important to keep an open mind about what type of conditions and environments some unknown extraterrestrial forms could thrive in. They all don’t necessarily have to be Earth-like; the conditions we deem necessary for life might be exclusive to life on this planet, or this type of planet.
Given our estimation of the size of the universe, or multiverse (whatever you want to call it), odds are we are not alone.
2. Whistleblowers
The past few years have seen a surge of whistleblowers come out and say some pretty remarkable things. Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange have received the most attention, but the reality is that hundreds of whistleblowers with verified credentials and backgrounds have come forward. Mass surveillance and the security state are not the only things shocking people around the world, it’s also the fact that many of these whistleblowers claim that we are not alone in the universe. They wouldn’t be so hard to ignore if it wasn’t for the backgrounds these people have in their respected fields.
The first one that comes to mind is Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, the man responsible for combining the Canadian Air Force, Army, and Navy into one united force, now known as the Canadian Forces. Someone with such a background coming out and making these extraordinary claims is definitely going to have the attention of many people.
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after… . Trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects about which both the Congress and the Commander in Chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” (source)
“In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb.”
Paul Hellyer isn’t the only one making extraordinary statements, at least a dozen NASA astronauts have done the same. Just like Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s quote, other astronauts have said some remarkable things. Let’s take a look at a few examples.
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time, that their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon” (source) – Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor
“In my opinion I think they were worried that it would panic the public if they knew that someone had vehicles that had this kind of performance … so they started telling lies about it. And then I think they had to cover another lie, you know, tell another lie to cover their first lie, now they don’t know how to get out of it. Now it’s going to be so embarrassing to admit that all these administrations have told a lot of untruths…. [and that] there are a number of extraterrestrial vehicles out there cruising around.” (source) – Gordon Cooper, Former NASA Astronaut, Aeronautical Engineer, and test pilot; one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States
The list goes on and on, the latest in NASA Astronaut statements about UFOs came from the 2005 International Space Station (ISS) Commander, Leroy Chiao.
Here is a video of John Podesta, recently appointed as councillor to Barack Obama, supporting UFO disclosure.
Some of the most extraordinary statements about UFOs and extraterrestrials come from people who have held some of the highest positions possible — those who would be in a position to ‘know’ about possible extraterrestrial encounters.
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here … [and] that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
“Everything is in a process of investigation, both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979), from UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2, written by Richard Dolan
The list of military whistleblowers is huge, there are hundreds of them and hundreds of quotes to choose from. To view military whistleblowers (with verified backgrounds) give a press conference at The National Press Club about UFOs deactivating nuclear weapons, click HERE. You can also look up Dr. Steven Greer and the disclosure project.
The list of quotes from many people, working in diverse fields, is outstanding. I could literally fill pages upon pages, but I’ll stop here, I think you get the picture. I do, however, want to spend a little bit more time on the reason why almost everyone knows that we are not alone in the universe.
“There is another way whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source) – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska.
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified…it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater , Chairman of the Senate intelligence committee(source)
3. The Evidence of UFOs
Over the past few years, dozens of governments have admitted to allocating resources towards the study of UFOs. For instance, in Canada, the RCMP, Transport Canada, and the Department of National Defence recently admitted to tracking and investigating UFOs. (source) They’ve been doing it for years, accumulating thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents. Many of these documents have since been officially released.
HERE is the latest batch of UFO files released from the United Kingdom.
Documents released by the National Security Agency (NSA) reveal what is recorded when a UFO is being tracked on radar. HERE is one example. HERE is a four page U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and NSA report describing a particular encounter in great detail.
“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4.”
HERE is a Wikileak cable that describes how some politicians already know we are not alone in the universe.
I could go on forever. Thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents are now available in the public domain. For a summary of more documents that have been declassified and made available, check out this short video by Richard Dolan.
4. Mass Mainstream Media Attention
Media outlets of all kinds are covering the topic, almost every movie that comes out these days has something to do with space or some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence. We’ve been bombarded with the topic for a while now so it’s not hard to see why so many people are thinking about it.
The most recent case of mainstream extraterrestrial noise was made when scientists spoke to the house Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Dan Werthimer, of the SETI Research Centre at the University of California, Berkeley, recently called for more funding to be allocated to the search for extraterrestrial life since he is “close to 100 percent” certain that we are not alone. (source)
In mid 2013, the same committee held a hearing about exoplanet discoveries, but perhaps one of the largest UFO/extraterrestrial hearings took place at the National Press Club, which was also held in Mid-2013. At this event, hundreds of researchers, activists, and military/agency/political witnesses, representing ten countries, gave UFO/extraterrestrial testimony to six former members of the United States Congress about events and evidence indicating an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
2008 presidential candidate and former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) said that there is “an extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.” You can learn more about the citizens hearing here.
Apart from these events, UFOs are a continual topic of interest in today’s mainstream news. Unfortunately, most mainstream media outlets which cover it seek only to ridicule, rather than investigate, the issue seriously.
To view military whistleblowers (with verified backgrounds) give a press conference at The National Press Club about UFOs deactivating nuclear weapons, click HERE.
There are millions of people out there claiming to have contact with extraterrestrial beings. This has played a large role in spreading the influence of extraterrestrial interest across the world. All of us seem to be naturally fascinated with the unknown, especially when it comes to space. It seems like human nature.
Neuroscience can now explain what happens to our body when we meditate, but it’s something we all knew to be beneficial before the science. Is extraterrestrial life similar? Is it something we all feel deep down inside, something we don’t need proof for (even though the proof is there)?
Besides the thousands of videos available on YouTube, there is some very fascinating officially documented UFO footage available for us to see.
HE RE is a video that made headlines when it was released. It came straight from the Mexican Air Force. Do a quick UFO search on YouTube and, while you’ll see many fakes, you’ll also find many genuine videos of unknown aerial objects.
Final Thoughts
A few years ago the question was, “Do UFOs exist?” Today that question has been answered, and the presence of UFOs performing maneuvers which defy our laws of physics has been well documented. The question has more so shifted to, “Is that an extraterrestrial spacecraft?”
It’s nothing to fear, in my opinion they’ve been around forever. They were aware of us long before we became aware of them. As speculated with our ancient civilizations in Earth’s brief past, perhaps they will one day interact with humanity again. I guess we will see.
Perhaps some groups are concerned about our planet, and come here to push the idea that we need to start changing the way we are doing things. Perhaps one day soon we will find out.
I definitely believe that a good chunk of these UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin. I also believe that many of these crafts are “ours.”

NASA DETECTS A WARM OCEAN BENEATH SATURN MOON'S SURFACE
NASA DETECTS A WARM OCEAN BENEATH SATURN MOON'S SURFACE
Despite many of the controversies with agencies like NASA with some of their choices in the past and their lack of transparency in a lot of the more controversial topics like UFOs and alien discoveries, there are no complaints to be made when it comes to less controversial information.
NASA is always the first to reveal their hypotheses as well as release information to the science world and the general public when it comes to new findings in the realm of space.
NASA does not disappoint in a recent finding that they have recently released to the public. According to NASA's recent findings there has been an usually large amount of heat being emitted from Saturn's moon of Enceladus. The reason why something like this is relevant and important is because it may in fact domino effect into something else that is just as fascinating to scientists and those who are interested. When this occurs the chance for something called tiger stripes can occur. Tiger stripes are fractures on the moon's South Pole, which creates unique blue lines on the surface of the planet.
Leaving UFO Hunters Baffled! Another dynamic of this finding is that this means there is a body of water that is very close nearby to create this effect of increased heating, which was not known about before. This has created a lot amount of interest to surface around this topic. This could create a large amount of controversy however, because research has always indicated that a body of water means that there is a potential chance of some sort of living thing to exist on that planet. Could the Earth sudden have long-distance neighbors all the way from Saturn?
This is not the controversial part of the story though. The controversial thing is that like stated in the beginning, NASA has the tendency to become much more quiet when it comes to revealing potential living things existing on planets not from Earth. This could possibly indicate that the public is probably not going to be receiving anymore updates about this heat signature increase and body of water finding, unless it is shown to not have any life at all. This is where much of the controversy stems from. The mentality of only sharing things that are not controversial, while storing all of the devastating information for themselves and the government.
It is important to heavenly monitor what happens next for those who are interested in this topic to see how much longer NASA stays transparent on the issue at hand. Saturn is not a planet that is often spoken about or researched, however NASA has taken an unusually large amount of interest in Saturn to the point that they are willing to send a drone into space to go and research it farther. This drone is known as Cassini and has been on the job of researching Saturn for a good amount of time. The blue markings etched onto the moon are almost scary as Saturn's moon seems to look veiny and pulsating like it has its own heartbeat. This is definitely a fascinating find and is definitely worth following closely.
This could also speak to Saturn suffering from something the Earth has had a fear of for the last few centuries in global warming. The sudden heat is highly unexpected and the ice sheets on the rings of Saturn have been unusually low, to the point that NASA is finding this out all the way from planet Earth, so this could also be a huge and dangerous finding by indicating that global warming does in fact exist and it could be coming towards the Earth sooner rather than later. Something unusually creepy is occurring on Saturn, so this is an exciting yet fearful finding from NASA.

OPERATION HIGHJUMP DISCOVERED PARTS OF ANTARCTICA ARE WARM! WHAT'S HIDDEN THERE?
OPERATION HIGHJUMP DISCOVERED PARTS OF ANTARCTICA ARE WARM! WHAT'S HIDDEN THERE?
Last week, scientists from the Canada and Europe published a research, which has not been done before. The research focus was on the western part of Antarctica.
The results from the research have confirmed previous fears - that Antarctica melts from the bottom.
ANTARCTICA - WARM INDEED!
The scientists have measured the temperature of the water in places, going go to a depth of one kilometer, in the western part of Antarctica. It turns out that the flow of 110,000 cubic meters of warm water is flowing to Antarctica every second. This hot water melts between 50 to 70 billion tons of ice, and it tapers to about 20 meters each year.
This is crucial because the water escapes into the ocean water. The ice cap on Western Antarctica slowly melts, and that part is larger in area than Germany. If all of this ice turns into water, then the oceans would rise by about two meters.
These scientists have made measurements at five different locations around the Western Antarctica. On a couple of the sites have discovered that the ocean is very deep. They have found an underwater canyon with a depth of 500 meters that splits into two; one is about 700 meters and the other over 1.200 meters deep. Both branches are wider than 4 kilometers. It is during these canyons running huge undersea flow of hot water to the Antarctica. Research has shown that the ice that has disappeared exactly matches the amount of heat coming from the ocean.
OPERATION HIGHJUMP
The warm place is named after Commander David E Bunger, the man who led a team of US Navy explorers to the breathtaking discovery in 1949, the region boasts “melt ponds” and unfrozen lakes.
Bunger’s discovery was part of Operation Highjump – a secret navy task force. The film 'The Secret Land' – released in 1948 – documented the exploration and captured the dramatic moment Bunger and his team found Antarctica’s most unlikely secret.
Conspiracy theorists have long claimed Antarctica is hiding secrets hidden by the powers that be.

Metallic sphere seven times size of Jupiter found - and it’s PROOF of aliens, hunters say
Metallic sphere seven times size of Jupiter found - and it’s PROOF of aliens, hunters say
ASTRONOMERS have detected a rogue, highly-metallic object in deep space which they are baffled by the presence of, leading conspiracy theorists to the conclusion this is proof we are not alone.
In 2012, astronomers spotted a “perplexing, isolated” object that was found to have a mass four to seven times that of Jupiter – by far the biggest planet in the solar system – around 100 lightyears away.
Experts believed it was the closest rogue planet ever found, but after studying the object over the past several years, researchers say that it might not be what they had originally thought.
The object, known as CFBDSIR 2149-0403, was thought to have been a planet that was kicked out of its star system or never had one in the first place and is now lonelily orbiting the Milky Way Galaxy.
With the possibility of it being a planet not as realistic as first thought, astronomers began theorising it could be a brown dwarf star but again this seems unlikely as it is too small, with the smallest brown dwarf stars having about 13 times the mass of Jupiter.
It had also been thought that the object was moving along in a group of objects called the AB Doradus, which would have given it an age of 50 to 120 million years old.
However, it later separated from these objects, leaving the astronomers clueless about its age.
A team of researchers from the Grenoble Alpes University in France wrote in their study published in arXiv: "Our new ... parallax and kinematics safely rule out membership to any known young moving group, including AB~Doradus.”
YOUTUBE
The object has baffled astronomers
Lead author Philippe Delorme told Phys: "Though determining that certainly improved our knowledge of the object it also made it more difficult to study, by adding age as a free parameter.”
With the possibility of a star ruled out, the astronomers have broadened their theory, saying that it could be a “combination of both”.
GETTY
Some believe it could be a Dyson Sphere
However, alien conspiracists believe that it could be of ET origin, due to its highly metallic content.
One theory that has quickly arose, according to YouTube channel SecureTeam10, is that it is potentially a Dyson Sphere – a large structure built by an extraterrestrial civilisation that orbits a star and harnesses energy from it.
The video starts by saying: “Scientists and astronomers have located a rogue object about 100 lightyears away that is exhibiting some strange characteristics which is once again challenging what we know about the universe with which we live, and the objects found within that universe.”
GETTY
Is this proof of aliens?
It adds that “this object either has very low gravity, or an unusually low or an unusually high metal content”, implying that it could be a man-made, or more specifically an alien-made, structure.
For any doubters that ridicule the idea of an alien civilisation, the narrator of the video says that “it is mathematically impossible that we are the only life in the universe.”
It does have three lights which could mean its a TR-3B military craft, but its hard to tell at night.
Scott C Waring
"Two were red and one white, flashing very fast.
"I recorded it for a few seconds from my car, until the video went out of focus, then pulled into my driveway and went inside to tell people to come look.
"My brother-in-law came outside and saw it as well."
The witness said they started recording again and "its white light changed to red and began pulsating slowly with the other two lights now turned off".
They added: "It then flickered its lights and changed the red pulsating light back to white, continued to pulsate, and then went back to flashing again for the remainder of the time I watched.
In the meantime Express.co.uk sent the footage to UFO investigator Scott Brando, who is renowned for exposing hoax and misinterpreted pictures and videos.
He said many reported so-called triangular UFOs turn out to be just aircraft navigation or landing lights.
He said: "The three lights could be related to aircraft, but it's really hard to identify it as airliner or military aircraft.
"In this case I can only say that those three lights could be related to navigation lights by a plane or a different aircraft."

Donkere materie had vroeger niet zoveel in de melk te brokkelen
Donkere materie had vroeger niet zoveel in de melk te brokkelen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Nieuw onderzoek suggereert dat het mysterieuze goedje nu invloedrijker is dan in de jonge jaren van het heelal.
Dat concluderen astronomen in het blad Nature. Ze baseren zich op een onderzoek naar de rotatie van zes zware sterren vormende stelsels op zeer grote afstand van de aarde.
TWIJFELS OVER DONKERE MATERIE
Eigenlijk is donkere materie door onderzoekers ‘bedacht’ om te kunnen verklaren waarom snel roterende sterrenstelsels niet uiteenvallen. Of donkere materie echt bestaat, is onduidelijk. We kunnen het immers niet zien. Het bestaan ervan is alleen af te leiden uit het zwaartekrachtseffect dat het op zichtbare materie heeft. Overigens zijn lang niet alle onderzoekers ervan overtuigd dat donkere materie bestaat. Vorig jaar stelde de Nederlandse hoogleraar Erik Verlinde nog dat donkere materie niet bestaat en dat we het ook niet nodig hebben om te verklaren waarom snel roterende sterrenstelsels niet uiteenvallen.
Donkere materie Sterrenstelsels roteren. En vrij snel ook. Zo snel dat je eigenlijk zou verwachten dat ze uiteenvallen. Maar dat gebeurt niet. Hoe kan dat? Onderzoekers wijten het aan donkere materie: een onzichtbaar goedje dat dienst doet als een soort ‘superlijm’ en voorkomt dat snel roterende sterrenstelsels uiteenvallen (zie kader).
In het jonge heelal In dit nieuwe onderzoek bestudeerden wetenschappers roterende zware sterren vormende stelsels die ver van ons verwijderd zijn. Omdat het licht van deze sterrenstelsels miljarden jaren moet reizen alvorens het ons bereikt, zien we deze sterrenstelsels nu zoals deze er 10 miljard jaar geleden, oftewel in de tijd van het jonge heelal, uitzagen. Uit de waarnemingen van de onderzoekers blijkt dat deze sterrenstelsels op een belangrijk punt afwijken van de spiraalstelsels zoals we die in het huidige heelal zien. De buitenste delen van de sterrenstelsels uit het vroege heelal draaien namelijk veel langzamer dan de delen dichter bij de kern. Het suggereert dat er minder donkere materie aanwezig is dan verwacht.
Hier zie je een schematische weergave van draaiende schijfstelsels in het vroege heelal (rechts) en in het moderne heelal (links). De nieuwe waarnemingen suggereren dat zware sterren-vormende stelsels in het voege heelal minder sterk beïnvloed werden door donkere materie (rood ingekleurd), omdat donkere materie nog minder geconcentreerd was. Daardoor draaiden de buitenste delen van de verre sterrenstelsels minder snel dan dezelfde delen van sterrenstelsels in het lokale heelal.
Afbeelding: ESO / L. Calçada.
Kleine rol voor donkere materie “Verrassend genoeg zijn de rotatiesnelheden in de sterrenstelsels niet constant, maar nemen ze naar buiten toe af,” vertelt onderzoeker Reinhard Genzel. “Dat heeft waarschijnlijk twee oorzaken. Allereerst worden de meeste van deze vroege zware sterrenstelsels gedomineerd door normale materie, en speelt donkere materie een veel kleinere rol dan in het lokale heelal. Op de tweede plaats waren de schijven van deze vroege stelsels veel turbulenter dan de spiraalstelsels die we in onze kosmische nabijheid zien.”
En hoe verder we teruggaan in het verleden, hoe sterker de door Renzel beschreven effecten tot uiting komen. Het suggereert dat het gas zich drie tot vier miljard jaar na de oerknal al had georganiseerd in platte, draaiende schijven, maar dat de omhullende halo’s van donkere materie zich nog over een veel groter volume uitstrekten. Het zou betekenen dat donkere materie miljarden jaren meer tijd nodig had om zich te verdichten en pas veel later een dominante rol ging spelen in het universum. Het is in lijn met eerdere waarnemingen die aantoonden dat vroege sterrenstelsels veel gasrijker en compacter waren dan de huidige sterrenstelsels.
Twee missies naar de grootste gasplaneet van ons zonnestelsel stonden tot vandaag op losse schroeven. Nu is bekend geworden dat een Europese missie doorgaat, terwijl de Amerikanen hun missie naar Jupiter schrappen.
Eerst het slechte nieuws. NASA gaat geen lander op de maan Europa plaatsen. Vorige maand presenteerde een speciale onderzoekscommissie nog een mooi rapport over hoe zo’n missie eruit ziet, maar het is afgeschoten door president Trump. Overigens ligt dit in de lijn der verwachting, want de Amerikanen hebben al een andere missie naar Europa goedgekeurd: de Europa Clipper. Deze ruimtesonde zal 45 scheervluchten langs Europa maken en onderzoeken waar de maan uit bestaat en of er leven mogelijk is in de onderzeese oceaan.
Het budget voor de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie daalt al jaren. In 1966 ging 4,4% van het nationale budget naar NASA, dit jaar is dat nog maar een half procent. Volgens de voorlopige prognose trekt president Trump de lijn van de afgelopen jaren door. Er komen dus geen grote bezuinigingen voor NASA, maar er komt ook niet veel geld bij. Het budget voor 2018 is iets meer dan 19 miljard dollar.
Artistieke impressie van ESA’s JUICE-ruimtevaartuig
En dan het goede nieuws: ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer-missie gaat (nog steeds) door. De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie meldt dat de laatste hindernissen zijn genomen en dat er nu echt wordt begonnen met de constructie. In 2022 wordt dit ruimtevaartuig gelanceerd. In 2029 komt JUICE aan bij Jupiter. Er volgt dan een 3,5 jaar durend onderzoek, waarbij de ruimtesonde de turbulente atmosfeer van de gasplaneet in kaart brengt. Ook onderzoekt JUICE de enorme magnetosfeer, Joviaanse manen en de donkere ringen om de planeet. Aan boord van JUICE vinden we de beste instrumenten. Denk hierbij aan meerdere camera’s, een hoogtemeter, een radarinstrument en sensoren om de magnetische velden en geladen deeltjes te monitoren.
