SCIENTISTS SHOCKED AS WORM GREW 'TWO HEADS' WHILE IN SPACE!
SCIENTISTS SHOCKED AS WORM GREW 'TWO HEADS' WHILE IN SPACE!
Something truly unusual happened in space a while ago, and no it's not about aliens or rough planets. Scientists have been experimenting with all sorts of things in space, and some results of these experiments have been quite fascinating.
One of these experiments was taking flatworms on board a space station to study how their regeneration would react in low gravity. But the most unusual thing happened!
A flatworm was sliced at one end, but the regeneration process went on a little different than expected, as the intact end had a head and then the other regenerated end grew a second head. The two-headed worm shock scientists when it came back to Earth, and it still remains a mystery on how it happened.
“The process of regeneration is normally 100 per cent accurate – they never make two-headed worms in the wild.”
Scientists cut the worms new head off and by their surprise it grew back again, therefore, the effects persisted even after arriving on Earth. What could have caused this? Low gravity? Some sort of cosmic radiation?
“Remarkably, amputating this double-headed worm again, in plain water, resulted again in the double-headed phenotype. Moreover, even when tested 20 months after return to Earth, the space-exposed worms displayed significant quantitative differences in behavior and microbiome composition.”
When the sun was born 4.5 billion years ago it had a twin, but this was not an identical twin. This was the same with every other star in the universe says new analysis from a theoretical physicist from UC Berkeley along with a Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Harvard University, radio astronomer.
It seems that many stars do have companions and this includes one of the nearest neighbors to Earth, Alpha Centauri, which is a system with triplets. Astronomers have been trying to find an explanation and have been asking questions such as whether binary and triplet star systems are born that way and whether one star had captured another and even if binary stars split up and turn into single stars.
ASTRONOMERS HAVE SEARCHED FOR COMPANION TO EARTHS SUN
Astronomers have in the past looked for a companion to the sun of Earth, this is a star with the name of Nemesis and it was said to have kicked an asteroid into the orbit of Earth that had collided with our planet and this is what had exterminated the dinosaurs, but it has not been found.
In Our Solar System There is now a new assertion that has been based on a radio survey that a huge molecular cloud that was filled with stars that have recently formed with the name of constellation Perseus. A mathematical model that is able to explain the observations of Perseus only if all stars that are sun-like have been born with a companion.
Steven Stahler, a research astronomer from UC Berkeley said that there probably was a Nemesis a long time ago. He went on to say that they had run a statistical model to try to find out if they could account for relative populations of single young stars along with the binaries of separations in the molecular cloud Perseus. He went on to say that the only model that was able to reproduce the data had been the one where all of the stars formed as wide binaries initially. The systems then either broke apart or shrank in a million years.
Stahler went on to explain that the term wide in the study applied to when two stars became separated by 500 astronomical units or more, or AU, which is one astronomical unit being the average distance between the Earth and the sun, around 93 million miles. He said that a wide binary companion to the sun would need to be more than17 times further away from the sun that Neptune, the most distant planet.
Based on the model the sibling of the sun is more than likely to have escaped and then mixed with other stars in the Milky Way’s region and never seen again.
SCIENTISTS ASK HOW MANY STARS FORM WITH A COMPANION
Sarah Sadavoy, first author and NASA Hubble Fellow at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory said that this is not the first time that the idea that stars form with a companion has been suggested. But one of the biggest questions is how many. She went on to say that based on a simple model they said that almost all stars do form with a companion. The Perseus cloud is thought to be a typical loss-mass star-forming region, but she said that their model would need to be checked in other clouds.
Stahler and Sadavoy posted what they had found in April and a paper is going to be published in the Royal Astronomical Society. Astronomers have been speculating about the binary and multiple star systems origins for hundreds of years and only in more recent years have they created computer simulations of masses of gas that collapse, to help them understand just how they condense under the gravity into stars. A simulation has also been made of young stars that have been freed from gas clouds. Several years ago a computer simulation was made by Pavel Kroupa at the University of Bonn and this led him to reach the conclusion that all of the stars are born as binaries.
However, direct evidence from observations has been scarce and astronomers have looked at stars that are younger and younger and have found a large proportion of binaries, but they have no idea why. Stahler said that the key was that no one had looked in a systematic way at any relation between the young stars and the clouds that they had come from. He went on to say that their work had been a step forward towards understanding how binaries are able to form and the role that they had played during stellar evolution. Stahler said that they were now of the belief that most of the stars, which are similar to the Sun, form as binaries and admitted that they have the strongest evidence yet.
RADIO TELESCOPES CAN BE USED TO PROBE CLOUDS
Astronomers have known for decades that any star that is born in a cocoon that is egg shaped, which is called dense cores, and they are sprinkled through the large clouds of molecular cold hydrogen, which play nursery for the young stars. Using an optical telescope, the clouds do look like they are a hole in the starry sky due to the fact that the dust that accompanies the gas is blocking the light from the stars that form inside and those that form behind. Radio telescopes may be used to probe the clouds as the cold dust grains emit at the same radio wavelengths and the dust does not block the radio waves.
PERSEUS MOLECULAR CLOUD WAS STUDIED 600 LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH
The Perseus molecular cloud is a stellar nursery and it is around 600 light-years away from the Earth and perhaps 50 light years long. A team of astronomers recently undertook a survey and made use of the Very Large Array, to take a look inside the cloud at the star formations. The survey had the name of VANDAM and it was the first survey to be completed of all of the young stars in the molecular cloud. This is stars that are less than 4 million years old and which include multiple and single stars, right down to separations of 15 astronomical units. It was able to capture multiple stars that had a separation of more than the radius of 19 AU, the orbit of Uranus, in the solar system.
The mathematically modeled scenarios of Stahler and Sadavoy explain the stars distribution, taking into account the typical formation, the breakup and orbital shrinking times. They reached the conclusion that the only way they are able to explain the observations was to assume that all of the masses of the stars around the sun begin as wide Class 0 binaries, in dense egg shaped cores, then some of them, around 60% split over time, with the remainder shrinking to make tight binaries.
Stahler went on to say that while the new data and the model are the first steps, more work has to be done to understand the physics. He also said that studies would come along soon thanks to the new capabilities of the VLA and ALMA telescopes in Chile, which have been upgraded. He also mentioned the SCUBA-2 survey in Hawaii and said that it is giving them the statistics along with data that is needed and it would change how scientists and astronomers understand dense cores and the stars that are embedded in them.
Musk zet stappenplan voor kolonisatie van Mars nu ook op papier
Musk zet stappenplan voor kolonisatie van Mars nu ook op papier
Caroline Kraaijvanger
In een paper – verschenen in het blad New Space – onthult hij nauwgezet hoe we miljoenen mensen op de rode planeet kunnen krijgen.
Het paper heeft de veelzeggende titel ‘Making Humans a Multi-Planetary Species‘ gekregen en is tot begin juli gratis te lezen. Musk doet in het paper uit de doeken waarom hij naar Mars wil en wat er allemaal bij komt kijken. Maar wat de multimiljardair vooral duidelijk wil maken, is een boodschap die door het hele paper resoneert: miljoenen mensen naar Mars sturen is mogelijk.
OVER HET PAPER
Musk deed zijn plannen voor een interplanetaire bemande ruimtereis vorig jaar al uit de doeken tijdens een conferentie in Mexico. Het paper – voor iedereen inzichtelijk – kan gezien worden als een gedetailleerde samenvatting van zijn toespraak.
Waarom Mars? “Soms vragen mensen zich af: ‘Er zijn toch nog andere plekken in het zonnestelsel? Waarom Mars?’,” zo schrijft Musk. Simpel: omdat er eigenlijk geen andere opties zijn. Venus is dichtbij, maar allesbehalve prettig om te wonen en werken. “Dan is er nog Mercurius, maar dat is veel te dicht bij de zon. We zouden naar één van de manen van Jupiter of Saturnus kunnen gaan, maar die zijn ver weg, veel verder van de zon, en veel lastiger te bereiken. Dus er blijft eigenlijk maar één optie over als we een multi-planetaire soort willen worden en dat is Mars. We zouden ook naar de maan kunnen gaan en ik heb echt niets tegen de maan, maar ik denk dat het lastig is om een multi-planetaire soort te worden op de maan, omdat deze veel kleiner is dan een planeet. De maan heeft geen atmosfeer. En is niet zo rijk aan grondstoffen als Mars. De dag duurt er 28 dagen, terwijl de Marsdag 24,5 uur duurt. Over het algemeen is Mars veel geschikter om op te schalen naar een zelfvoorzienende beschaving.”
De financiën Dat diverse ruimtevaartorganisaties al uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan hebben naar Mars helpt natuurlijk ook mee. Zo is er reeds onderzoek gedaan naar de atmosfeer van de rode planeet, de locatie van ijs en andere belangrijke grondstoffen, geschikte landingsplaatsen, enzovoort. Die kennis is heel waardevol als we een kolonie op Mars willen stichten, maar het is niet genoeg. Want de grootste hindernis als het gaat om het stichten van een kolonie op Mars is volgens Musk…geld. “Neem het Apollo-programma als voorbeeld: de kosten ervan liggen tussen de 100 en 200 miljard hedendaagse dollars en we stuurden 12 mensen naar het oppervlak van de maan.” Dat betekent dat die tickets een slordige 10 miljard kosten. Dat is niet goedkoop. En een ticket naar Mars zou waarschijnlijk nog iets duurder zijn. Maar weinigen kunnen zich zo’n ticket veroorloven. Dus dan lijkt het stichten van een miljoenen hoofden tellende kolonie al onmogelijk. De grootste uitdaging begint zich af te tekenen: de kosten moeten omlaag. “Als we de kosten van de verhuizing naar Mars grofweg gelijk kunnen maken aan de kosten van een gemiddeld huis in de VS – dat rond de 200.000 dollar kost – dan denk ik dat het heel waarschijnlijk is dat we een zelfvoorzienende samenleving op Mars kunnen stichten.”
“ER ZIJN HEEL VEEL RISICO’S. HET GAAT VEEL GELD KOSTEN”
Lagere kosten Maar ja, hoe breng je die kosten omlaag? “Dat is niet gemakkelijk. Het klinkt onmogelijk, maar dat is het niet.” Musk somt een aantal maatregelen op die genomen moeten worden om Mars toegankelijk te maken voor een groot publiek:
– Hergebruik Alles moet hergebruikt worden: van raketten tot ruimteschepen. Hij illustreert het effect dat dat heeft op de kosten aan de hand van een voorbeeldje. Stel je vliegt van Los Angeles naar Vegas. Dat kost je 43 dollar. Die kosten zijn laag, omdat het vliegtuig nog tal van deze ritjes gaat maken. Zou het vliegtuig na één rit worden gesloopt, dan zou datzelfde ritje je 500.000 dollar kosten. Natuurlijk is het veel gemakkelijker om de kosten van een vliegtuig terug te verdienen dan het is om de kosten van bijvoorbeeld een ruimtevaartuig terug te verdienen. Want een ruimtevaartuig zal, omdat je niet op elk moment naar Mars kunt vliegen, veel minder vaak – hooguit elke 2 jaar – passagiers vervoeren. – Tanken in een baan rond de aarde Hierdoor is het geheel van raket en ruimtevaartuig lichter bij lancering. En daardoor is de lancering goedkoper. – Brandstof produceren op Mars Dan kunnen de ruimtevaartuigen weer terugkeren naar aarde, noodzakelijk als we ze willen hergebruiken. – Een slimme keuze maken als het gaat om de brandstof De opslag en productie van die brandstof moet zo goedkoop mogelijk.
Uiteindelijk zou het met deze maatregelen mogelijk moeten zijn om mensen voor een bedrag lager dan 200.000 dollar te lanceren. En op termijn kan een ticket zelfs rond de 100.000 dollar gaan kosten. “Er is echt een manier om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen die wil gaan, kan gaan.”
Het ruimteschip In het paper doet Musk verder uit de doeken hoe het interplanetaire ruimteschip en de raket die deze naar Mars moet brengen er ongeveer uit zou moeten zien. Hij verwacht het ruimteschip met een jaar of vier wel gebouwd te hebben. En als het allemaal echt meezit, zou het mogelijk moeten zijn om dat ruimteschip met een jaar of tien op een geschikte raket te plaatsen. “Er zijn heel veel risico’s. Het gaat veel geld kosten. En er is een grote kans dat het ons niet gaat lukken, maar we gaan ons best doen om zoveel mogelijk vooruitgang te boeken,” schrijft Musk.
De tijdlijn die Musk voor ogen heeft.
Wanneer het eerste met mensen gevulde ruimtevaartuig van Musk naar Mars vertrekt, is dus niet helemaal helder. Dat het hoogstwaarschijnlijk wel ergens de komende decennia gaat gebeuren, lijkt als een paal boven water te staan. Uiteindelijk hoopt Musk zeker 1000 ruimtevaartuigen te bouwen die met 100 mensen of meer aan boord elke twee jaar naar Mars vliegen. Het moet zo mogelijk zijn om in een tijdsbestek van 40 tot 100 jaar een zelfvoorzienende kolonie van 1 miljoen mensen of meer op Mars te krijgen.
Ruimtesonde Cassini onthult de twee gezichten van Iapetus in één foto
Ruimtesonde Cassini onthult de twee gezichten van Iapetus in één foto
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Deze maan van Saturnus blijft een heel vreemde snuiter.
Iapetus is met een diameter van 1468 kilometer één van de grotere manen van Saturnus en draait op een afstand van zo’n 3.561.000 kilometer om de gasreus heen. Daarbij is altijd dezelfde zijde van de maan op Saturnus gericht.
Twee gezichten Wat de maan zo bijzonder maakt, is dat deze twee gezichten heeft. De ene helft is heel donker (reflecteert minder dan vijf procent van het inkomende licht) en de andere helft is heel licht. Op een recente foto die ruimtesonde Cassini van de maan gemaakt heeft, zijn beide gezichten goed te zien. Cassini maakte de foto in maart en was op dat moment zo’n 2,6 miljoen kilometer van Iapetus verwijderd.
De twee gezichten van Iapetus.

Duister mysterie Waarom Iapetus aan één kant zo donker is, is tot op de dag van vandaag onduidelijk. Sommige onderzoekers denken dat donker materiaal vanuit het hart van de maan is opgeborreld en het ijzige oppervlak deels heeft bedekt. Anderen denken dat de ene zijde van de maan zo donker is, doordat stofdeeltjes afkomstig van andere manen van Saturnus zich hier verzamelen.
De ene zijde van de maan is heel licht, terwijl de andere kant heel donker is. Hier zie je de lichte zijde, gefotografeerd door Cassini in 2007.

Overigens zijn de twee gezichten niet het enige mysterieuze aspect dat Iapetus rijk is. Zo bevindt zich op de evenaar van de maan een richel die hier en daar meer dan 10 kilometer boven het omringende landschap uitsteekt. Mogelijk is Iapetus in het verleden in botsing gekomen met een ander object, waardoor een ring van puin rond de maan ontstond. Dat puin is uiteindelijk weer naar beneden komen zetten en vormde het gebergte op de evenaar.
The rocket that blasted into space from New Zealand on May 25 was special. Not only was it the first to launch from a private site, it was also the first to be powered by an engine made almost entirely using 3D printing. This might not make it the "first 3D-printed rocket in space" that some headlines described it as, but it does highlight how seriously this manufacturing technique is being taken by the space industry.
Members of the team behind the Electron rocket at US company Rocket Lab say the engine was printed in 24 hours and provides efficiency and performance benefits over other systems. There's not yet much information out there regarding the exact details of the 3D-printed components. But it's likely many of them have been designed to minimise weight while maintaining their structural performance, while other components may have been optimised to provide efficient fluid flow. These advantages – reducing weight and the potential for complex new designs – are a large part of why 3D printing is expected to find some of its most significant applications in space exploration, with dramatic effect.
One thing the set of technologies known as additive manufacturing or 3D printing does really well is to produce highly complicated shapes. For example, lattice structures produced in exactly the right way so that they weigh less but are just as strong as similar solid components. This creates the opportunity to produce optimised, lightweight parts that were previously impossible to manufacture economically or efficiently with more traditional techniques.
Boeing's microlattice is an example of taking this to the extreme, supposedly producing mechanically sound structures that are 99.9 percent air. Not all 3D printing processes can achieve this, but even weight savings of a few percent in aircraft and spacecraft can lead to major benefits through the use of less fuel.
3D printing tends to work best for the production of relatively small, intricate parts rather than large, simple structures, where the higher material and processing costs would outweigh any advantage. For example, a redesigned nozzle can enhance fuel mixing within an engine, leading to better efficiency. Increasing the surface area of a heat shield by using a patterned rather than a flat surface can mean heat is transferred away more efficiently, reducing the chances of overheating.
The techniques can also reduce the amount of material wasted in manufacturing, important because space components tend to be made from highly expensive and often rare materials. 3D printing can also produce whole systems in one go rather than from lots of assembled parts. For example, NASA used it to reduce the components in one of its rocket injectors from 115 to just two. Plus, 3D printers can easily make small numbers of a part – as the space industry often needs – without first creating expensive manufacturing tools.
In orbit
3D printers are also likely to find a use in space itself, where it's difficult to keep large numbers of spare parts and hard to send out for replacements when you're thousands of kilometres from Earth. There's now a 3D printer on the International Space Station so, if something breaks, engineers can send up a design for a replacement and the astronauts can print it out.
The current printer only deals with plastic so it's more likely to be used for making tools or one-off replacements for low-performance parts such as door handles. But once 3D printers can more easily use other materials, we're likely to see an increase in their uses. One day, people in space could produce their own food items and even biological materials. Recycling facilities could also enable broken parts to be reused to make the replacements.

Looking even further ahead, 3D printers could prove useful in building colonies. Places like the moon don't have much in the way of traditional building materials, but the European Space Agency has proven solar energy can power the production of "bricks" of lunar dust, which would be a good start. Researchers are now looking at how to use 3D printing to take this idea further and develop complete printed buildings on the moon.
To make many of these applications a reality, we'll need to research more advanced materials and processes that can manufacture components to withstand the extremely harsh conditions of space. Engineers also need to work on developing optimised designs and find ways of testing 3D printed parts to prove they're safe. And then there's the irritating issue of gravity, or rather the lack of it. Many current processes use powders or liquids as their raw materials so we're likely to need some clever tricks in order to make these function safely in a low or microgravity environment.
Some of these barriers may even require entirely new materials and techniques. But as research goes on, 3D printing is likely to be used more and more in space, even if a fully printed space vehicle isn't going to launch any time soon. The sky is no longer the limit.

A Bannockburn woman who spotted a UFO flying over the town says she has been left unable to sleep at night.
The Stirling Observer reported last week that the eagle-eyed stargazer spotted the unfamiliar craft hovering between houses on Thursday, March 16 this year and reported it to UFO authority the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) — an American-based non-profit organization that investigates cases of alleged UFO sightings.
The 42-year old contacted the Observer to detail her jaw-dropping sighting in Hillpark, Bannockburn.
She said: “The size of it was unreal. It was about 20ft away from and I’d say it was about 100ft in diameter.
“I love looking at the sky, I do it all the time.
“For about a week, I could see lights in the sky. I could see that it had windows and had red lights flashing.
“Even if it was a military thing, why was it coming down a quiet street?
“I know it sounds crazy, but I would say it was a spaceship.
“I thought it was an aeroplane at first but when it tilted forwards it was a circular shape.
“I could see writing on the top of it as well, like Egyptian hieroglyphs.
“It has been a few sleepless nights for me since it.
“I was kind of in to UFOs and that sort of thing a bit before.
“When I saw it in between the two houses, I had to run in to the house because I was a bit scared.
“I went back out for another look and it wasn’t moving very fast and there was no noise coming from it.”

A second man contacted the Observer to say that he too has spotted an unexplained sight in the sky over Stirling.
He says that he spotted a black triangular shaped object in the sky looking north from Stirling.
Another sighting was spotted in Carron near Falkirk in April this year.
The eyewitness told the Observer: “Almost immediately I saw two lights which appeared in a slight ‘puff’ of something. They were quickly joined by another three of the same,and started to fly erratically in a southerly direction. They flew like swallows do at their most agile, ducking and diving, and looked like they were having fun. They did not look like they were here to take over the planet or impose any threat.
“They were squashed horseshoe shaped with a translucence around the horseshoe shape with yellowish light.
“I’d estimate they were about a kilometre away — perhaps above the Kelpies. I watched them for about 12 seconds until they disappeared beyond the range of my vision and may have been joined by a sixth craft from seemingly out of nowhere but by that time it was difficult to tell because they were moving so fast and weaving in and out of each other, then they were gone.
“I picked up the binoculars in case they came back. I waited for a while and then left them on the window ledge to remind me that it wasn’t a dream.”
Life can be found even deep underground. For instance, these Monhystrella parvella worms (blue) were discovered living inside a stalactite almost a mile underground in South Africa’s Beatrix gold mine.
G. BORGONIE
Maggie Lau works in a gold mine. But what she seeks here, more than a kilometer and a half (a mile) below the South African surface, may be more precious than gold. She’s looking for life.
It’s not easy work, lit only by headlamps. At times, it can feel as hot and humid as a sauna. Some spots smell like rotten eggs, due to sulfide gas emanating from holes dug in the rock.
Until about 20 years ago, scientists weren’t even sure if life existed deep below Earth’s surface. Then in 1992, Tullis Onstott and his colleagues discovered bacteria growing on the rocks retrieved from some 3 kilometers underground. Those rocks were more than 200 million years old, at least as old as the earliest dinosaurs. And the bacteria they analyzed may have survived from that time, Onstott now says.
He’s a geomicrobiologist — a scientist who studies how microbes interact with rocks and minerals. He heads the lab at Princeton University, in New Jersey, where Lau is now a graduate student.
Scientists like Lau and Onstott now travel the world over in search of deep life. They go deep underground in mines or caverns. They drill beneath the ocean floor and in oil fields. Some of these places are near-freezing; others are hotter than Death Valley.
“The challenge is in the hunt,” says Onstott. “It’s a fantastic journey.”
And these hunts are turning up a whole zoo of microscopic creatures. Some of the deeply buried critters feed on toxic chemicals such as arsenic and uranium. One day, other scientists might tap them to clean up toxic waste. Other microbes might produce useful substances, such as new types of germ-killing medicines known as antibiotics. And perhaps most intriguing, these organisms could also help biologists learn about life beyond Earth — true extraterrestrials.
This time lapse shows researchers looking for life deep inside a South African gold mine.

Life in the depths
To reach her research site in South Africa, Lau has to drop down a mine shaft in a cage. It descends the nearly mile down in about a minute. That’s so quick that Lau’s ears pop, making it feel like she’s on an amusement park ride.
Next, Lau may walk or even crawl another 1.5 kilometers through narrow corridors. Some are flooded with water, which she’ll have to wade through. Through it all, Lau and her colleagues carry heavy backpacks and wear knee-high boots and overalls. “Some of my friends joke that we look like the Ghostbusters,” she says.
In her search for new life, Lau collects water from bore holes. These are narrow holes drilled deep into the ground, usually to explore for minerals, natural gas or oil. Sometimes these bore holes tap into underground water. That water can be as hot as 54 degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit). At some sites, even the rocks can be warm to touch.

As she sits on the hard, rocky ground and collects water in different-sized bottles, Lau can get splashed anywhere and everywhere with the hot water. “As you collect it,” she says, “you get wet, and you feel like you have been through a water fight.” After this tiring work, “You’re physically and mentally exhausted.” Although “intense,” Lau adds that it also is “very rewarding.”
This water once flowed on the planet’s surface. Although the ground looks solid, it’s more like Swiss cheese. Tiny holes all over allow the water to flow through and down, down, down. But this is a very slow process. Water from the surface may take thousands of years to trickle down to where Lau now works. Some of the water she studies is more than 50,000 years old. And on its travels, that water may have collected living creatures.
There’s very little life in this extreme environment. But Lau leaves equipment to filter thousands of liters (gallons) of water over weeks or even months. She needs to filter all that water to collect as many living cells as possible. Each teaspoon of water contains just a few thousand cells. That may be only a millionth as many cells as exist in every pinch of backyard soil.
Researchers have now identified many types of bacteria in underground water. Many of them stick to each other and to rocks in a slimy community called a biofilm. To study these microbes, scientists try to grow them in the lab. But so far, they have been successful with only about one out of every 100 bacterial species from down here.
Scientists also chemically identify the pattern of building blocks — known as sequences — that make up the bacteria’s genetic material. Those chemical sequences have let them identify most of the bacteria, based on their DNA and RNA. (DNA encodes the instructions for building a cell. RNA is a related messenger molecule. It’s needed to carry out those instructions.)
Lau isn’t just identifying the bacteria that live down here, though. She’s also trying to identify their diet. If scientists learn what these bacteria eat, they might be able to feed it to them in the lab, in what’s called a growth, or culture, medium. That would let researchers study these bacteria more closely, learn what makes them tick and see if they might be useful to us. But food is hard to come by deep underground. There is no sunlight and no plants. What’s more, the water that the bacteria live in contains very little oxygen.
At this depth, any microbes must get all of their energy — food — from the rocks and water around them. Reactions between rocks and water can produce different substances, including hydrogen, methane and sulfates. Scientists initially expected that these extremely deep-dwelling bacteria must feed mainly on these three materials.
To her surprise, Lau discovered, many don’t.
Indeed, fewer than half of the bacteria feed on them, she reports. This minority of bacteria produce other chemicals that the rest of the bacteria feed on. “That’s kind of new to us,” says Lau. “We expect to see more of this kind of cooperation, especially in these environments where it is difficult,” she says.
Knowing on what these bacteria dine might also inform the search for alien life. How? Scientists often look for the chemicals that living things feed on when they can’t find the living things themselves. From what they’ve learned about the new deep microbes, researchers know they might have to expand what kinds of menu items to scout for.
A whole lot of worms
Most of the first research on deep life focused on bacteria. But they’re far from the only species down here. Take nematodes.
These tiny worms usually live in the soil and feed on bacteria. When Gaetan Borgonie heard there were bacteria deep underground, he wondered if there were also worms feeding on them. Borgonie is a zoologist at Extreme Life Isyensya in Gentbrugge, Belgium.

“After 20 years working on worms, you realize these animals are incredibly resistant,” he says. “I wondered if they could actually go very deep down.” To find out, he went looking for worms in the same gold mines Onstott studied. “It’s always an experience,” he says. Down in these mines, “I feel like an astronaut who walks on another planet.”
On Earth’s surface, nematodes are everywhere. “If I take an ordinary coffee cup and I go out and take a soil sample,” Borgonie says, “you will have hundreds of thousands of nematodes.” But deep underground, these worms are quite rare. Borgonie had to look through about 60 bathtubs worth of water to find a single worm. But he succeeded. And by doing so, he became the first to identify any kind of multicellular life deep beneath Earth’s surface. And once he spied nematodes, Borgonie started wondering what else might live at such depths.
So he sampled the underground water for two years. Along the way, “We found this whole zoo of animals,” he says, “much more than I anticipated.” These animals, though, were all too small to be seen with the naked eye. Many looked like little worms or caterpillars. Others were related to crabs and lobsters and resembled tiny shrimp. Some were in 12,000-year-old water from bore holes. Others lived in the stalactites hanging from the mine ceiling.
A Monhystrella parvella worm found inside a stalactite almost a mile underground in South Africa’s Beatrix gold mine.

The worms and other creatures deep underground were mostly the same species found atop Earth’s surface, Borgonie showed. Almost all were feeding on the deep-living bacteria. Indeed, he now suspects, living so deep underground might actually be a good thing for these critters. Unlike at the surface, there are no predators down there to gobble them up. “For them, it’s like a summer camp,” quips Borgonie.
He never suspected he’d find such a wide variety of deep life. “This is actually very good news for people searching for life on Mars or [Jupiter’s Moon] Europa,” he says. Conditions deep beneath the surface of those space worlds could be similar to those deep inside the Earth. Maybe we’ll find a similar microscopic zoo beneath these other worlds.
Looking for alien life
Science may not have to wait long to apply the lessons learned from these underground creatures. Over the next several years, space missions will be exploring the solar system searching for signs of life.
Other planets and moons have much harsher conditions on their surface than those on Earth. “This means that if we were to find life elsewhere in the solar system, it’s going to be below the surface,” says Tori Hoehler. He works at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Ames Research Center. As an atrobiologist there, he studies life on Earth and in space.
This artist’s illustration shows what a mission to Europa might look like and the path that the spacecraft might take around Jupiter and its moons.

Life that would die on the surface of other planets or moons might be able to survive deep below. And reactions between underground rocks and water might provide the food needed to sustain them. Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus may host rocks and water. But first scientists need a closer look. NASA will launch a mission to fly by Europa in the next five to 10 years. That could probe whether it might be able to support life.
Onstott also wonders if there might be creatures living deep below the Martian surface. Right now, it’s hard for life to survive on that planet’s surface. After all, it has almost no atmosphere. It’s also really cold and has no liquid water. But a long time ago, water may have flowed across the Martian landscape. And a thick atmosphere might have blanketed the planet. If there was Martian life on the surface then, maybe it trickled underground as critters have on Earth. “Down below they would have been nice and warm with plenty of water and plenty of energy,” says Onstott. That life could still be holed up there, captured in something like a time-capsule, waiting for us to dig it out.
Rovers have been exploring Mars for years. So far, none have ever done more than scrape the surface of the Red Planet. In 2018, though, the European Space Agency’s ExoMars Mission will get a deeper look. It won’t spy anywhere near as far below the surface as Lau and other scientists have searched back home. ExoMars plans to drill only about 2 meters (6.5 feet) down. That’s probably not deep enough to find life. But it might find signs that life once existed.
Onstott can’t wait. He imagines a time when humans might set up a base on Mars. Then we could drill deep below the surface, looking for water and life. Think about it, he says: “It would be an awesome undertaking.”
alien A non-native organism. (in astronomy) Life on or from a distant world.
antibiotic A germ-killing substance, usually prescribed as a medicine (or sometimes as a feed additive to promote the growth of livestock). It does not work against viruses.
arsenic A highly poisonous metallic element. It occurs in three chemically different forms, which also vary by color (yellow, black and gray). The brittle, crystalline (gray) form is the most common. Some manufacturers tap its toxicity by adding it to insecticides.
astronaut Someone trained to travel into space for research and exploration.
atmosphere The envelope of gases surrounding Earth or another planet.
bacterial Having to do with bacteria, single-celled organisms. These dwell nearly everywhere on Earth, from the bottom of the sea to inside animals.
bacterium (plural bacteria) A single-celled organism. These dwell nearly everywhere on Earth, from the bottom of the sea to inside animals.
biofilm A gooey community of different types of microbes that essentially glues itself to some solid surface. Living in a biofilm is one way microbes protect themselves from stressful agents (such as poisons) in their environment.
bore hole A narrow hole drilled deeply into ice or the surface of the Earth, often to sample or extract natural gas, crude oil or other mineral resources.
cell The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Typically too small to see with the naked eye, it consists of watery fluid surrounded by a membrane or wall. Animals are made of anywhere from thousands to trillions of cells, depending on their size. Some organisms, such as yeasts, molds, bacteria and some algae, are composed of only one cell.
chemical A substance formed from two or more atoms that unite (become bonded together) in a fixed proportion and structure. For example, water is a chemical made of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Its chemical symbol is H2O. Chemical can also be an adjective that describes properties of materials that are the result of various reactions between different compounds.
colleague Someone who works with another; a co-worker or team member.
culture (in biology) The community of cells or tissue that is intentionally grown outside the body (or the wilds) for research purposes, usually in a laboratory. (in social science) The sum total of typical behaviors and social practices of a related group of people (such as a tribe or nation). Their culture includes their beliefs, values, and the symbols that they accept and or use. It’s passed on from generation to generation through learning. Once thought to be exclusive to humans, scientists have recognized signs of culture in several other animal species, such as dolphins and primates.
dinosaur A term that means terrible lizard. These ancient reptiles lived from about 250 million years ago to roughly 65 million years ago. All descended from egg-laying reptiles known as archosaurs. Their descendants eventually split into two lines. They are distinguished by their hips. The lizard-hipped line became saurichians, such as two-footed theropods like T. rex and the lumbering four-footed Apatosaurus (once known as brontosaurus). A second line of so-called bird-hipped, or ornithischian dinosaurs, led to a widely differing group of animals that included the stegosaurs and duckbilled dinosaurs.
DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) A long, double-stranded and spiral-shaped molecule inside most living cells that carries genetic instructions. It is built on a backbone of phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon atoms. In all living things, from plants and animals to microbes, these instructions tell cells which molecules to make.
Enceladus The sixth largest of Saturn’s more than 50 moons. Enceladus is bright white and covered with a thick shell of ice. Deep beneath that ice sits what appears to be a global ocean of salty liquid water. Enceladus is a round sphere, 500 kilometers (310 miles) across. It is a little less than one-third the width of Earth's moon.
encode (adj. encoded) To use some code to mask a message.
environment The sum of all of the things that exist around some organism or the process and the condition those things create for that organism or process. Environment may refer to the weather and ecosystem in which some animal lives, or, perhaps, the temperature, humidity and placement of components in some electronics system or product.
Europa One of the moons of Jupiter and the sixth-closest satellite to the planet. Europa, 1,951 miles across, has a network of dark lines on a bright, icy surface.
extraterrestrial Anything of or from regions beyond Earth.
filter (in chemistry and environmental science) A device which allows some materials to pass through but not others, based on their size or some other feature. (in physics) A screen, plate or layer of a substance that absorbs light or other radiation or selectively prevents the transmission of some of its components.
genetic Having to do with chromosomes, DNA and the genes contained within DNA. The field of science dealing with these biological instructions is known as genetics. People who work in this field are geneticists.
germ Any one-celled microorganism, such as a bacterium, fungal species or virus particle. Some germs cause disease. Others can promote the health of higher-order organisms, including birds and mammals. The health effects of most germs, however, remain unknown.
graduate student Someone working toward an advanced degree by taking classes and performing research. This work is done after the student has already graduated from college (usually with a four-year degree).
hydrogen The lightest element in the universe. As a gas, it is colorless, odorless and highly flammable. It’s an integral part of many fuels, fats and chemicals that make up living tissues.
Jupiter (in astronomy) The solar system’s largest planet, it has the shortest day length (10 hours). A gas giant, its low density indicates that this planet is composed of light elements, such as hydrogen and helium. This planet also releases more heat than it receives from the sun as gravity compresses its mass (and slowly shrinks the planet).
liquid A material that flows freely but keeps a constant volume, like water or oil.
Mars The fourth planet from the sun, just one planet out from Earth. Like Earth, it has seasons and moisture. But its diameter is only about half as big as Earth’s.
methane A hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH4 (meaning there are four hydrogen atoms bound to one carbon atom). It’s a natural constituent of what’s known as natural gas. It’s also emitted by decomposing plant material in wetlands and is belched out by cows and other ruminant livestock. From a climate perspective, methane is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide is in trapping heat in Earth’s atmosphere, making it a very important greenhouse gas.
microbe Short for microorganism. A living thing that is too small to see with the unaided eye, including bacteria, some fungi and many other organisms such as amoebas. Most consist of a single cell.
microscopic An adjective for things too small to be seen by the unaided eye. It takes a microscope to view such tiny objects, such as bacteria or other one-celled organisms.
mineral The crystal-forming substances, such as quartz, apatite, or various carbonates, that make up rock. Most rocks contain several different minerals mish-mashed together. A mineral usually is solid and stable at room temperatures and has a specific formula, or recipe (with atoms occurring in certain proportions) and a specific crystalline structure (meaning that its atoms are organized in certain regular three-dimensional patterns). (in physiology) The same chemicals that are needed by the body to make and feed tissues to maintain health.
moon The natural satellite of any planet.
multicellular Having or consisting of many cells. This includes all animals and plants, and many types of fungus.
NASA Short for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Created in 1958, this U.S. agency has become a leader in space research and in stimulating public interest in space exploration. It was through NASA that the United States sent people into orbit and ultimately to the moon. It has also sent research craft to study planets and other celestial objects in our solar system.
natural gas A mix of gases that developed underground over millions of years (often in association with crude oil). Most natural gas starts out as 50 to 90 percent methane, along with small amounts of heavier hydrocarbons, such as propane and butane.
nematode A type of roundworm, usually found in soil, that can also live within other creatures as a parasite. It is very small, with no eyes, ears or nose.
organism Any living thing, from elephants and plants to bacteria and other types of single-celled life.
oxygen A gas that makes up about 21 percent of the atmosphere. All animals and many microorganisms need oxygen to fuel their metabolism.
planet A celestial object that orbits a star, is big enough for gravity to have squashed it into a roundish ball and it must have cleared other objects out of the way in its orbital neighborhood. To accomplish the third feat, it must be big enough to pull neighboring objects into the planet itself or to sling-shot them around the planet and off into outer space. Astronomers of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) created this three-part scientific definition of a planet in August 2006 to determine Pluto’s status. Based on that definition, IAU ruled that Pluto did not qualify. The solar system now includes eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
predator (adjective: predatory) A creature that preys on other animals for most or all of its food.
RNA A molecule that helps “read” the genetic information contained in DNA. A cell’s molecular machinery reads DNA to create RNA, and then reads RNA to create proteins.
Saturn The sixth planet out from the sun in our solar system. One of the four gas giants, this planet takes 10.7 hours to rotate (completing a day) and 29 Earth years to complete one orbit of the sun. It has at least 53 known moons and 9 more candidates awaiting confirmation. But what most distinguishes this planet is the broad and flat plane of seven rings that orbit it.
sequencing Technologies that determine the order of nucleotides or letters in a DNA molecule that spell out an organism’s traits.
solar system The eight major planets and their moons in orbit around the sun, together with smaller bodies in the form of dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids and comets.
solid Firm and stable in shape; not liquid or gaseous.
species A group of similar organisms capable of producing offspring that can survive and reproduce.
sulfate A family of chemical compounds that are related to sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Sulfates occur naturally in drinking water.
toxic Poisonous or able to harm or kill cells, tissues or whole organisms. The measure of risk posed by such a poison is its toxicity.
uranium The heaviest naturally occurring element known. It’s called element 92, which refers to the number of protons in its nucleus. Uranium atoms are radioactive, which means they decay into different atomic nuclei.
waste Any materials that are left over from biological or other systems that have no value, so they can be disposed of as trash or recycled for some new use.

'ROSWELL HAPPENED' - alleged US leak confirms 'UFO crash, dead aliens and cover-up'
'ROSWELL HAPPENED' - alleged US leak confirms 'UFO crash, dead aliens and cover-up'
A FLYING saucer did crash in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, and four dead aliens were found, before the world's biggest ever cover up began nearly 70 years ago - according to an allegedly leaked US top-secret document.
Heather Wade, host of US late-night online paranormal radio show Midnight in the Desert, claims to have obtained an extensive US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report into a number of alleged alien and UFO incidents including the infamous Roswell mystery.
She claims the document came from a known, but unnamed source, and has been passed to nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, who is a long term Roswell believer and investigator.
Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO scene since in July 1947 the military sensationally announced in a press release it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby.
But the following day it retracted the statement, saying it was in fact a damaged US Air Force air balloon.
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken to a top-secret US military base.
The seemingly undated 47-page dossier contains a six-page report on the Roswell incident, detailing how the UFO came down on July 2 or 3 1947, and four decomposing alien bodies were recovered two miles from the crash site a week later.
It then confirms that the initial press release about a flying saucer being found was sent out without senior or Pentagon approval, before the "weather balloon cover up" was set in motion.
The report states: "Aerial reconnaissance discovered that four small human-like beings had apparently ejected from the craft at some point before it exploded.
"These had fallen to earth at least two miles east of the crash site where the wreckage was located.
"All of the four alien crew members were dead and badly decomposed."
It said the corpses and 327 individual pieces of UFO wreckage were taken to the Wright Patterson Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio.
There have already been doubters who allege the documents must be an elaborate hoax, produced to prolong the Roswell conspiracy theory.
A statement on the midnightinthedesert.com website said: "Heather Wade received documents last night from a trusted source.
"She immediately had Stanton Friedman take a look at these documents who said, 'I have never seen anything like this.'
All of the four alien crew members were dead and badly decomposed.
Alleged DIA report
"Stanton Friedman is going to continue examining these documents for authenticity, but at this time we can find no evidence of forgery."
Paradigm Research Group (PRG) was set up to lobby the US Government to end an alleged truth embargo which covers up the existence of aliens on Earth.
It has described the documents as important, but accepts they could be fake.
It released a statement saying: "Over the coming weeks PRG will work closely with leading researchers into the history of the truth embargo and ET related government documents to determine the quality of this evidence.
"There are only four possible explanations for the existence of these documents. In order of probability there are:
"1) Government disinformation 'leaked' that contains much truth plus bogus elements obvious to skilled researchers - the purpose being to undermine the included truths and serve the truth embargo.
"2) Fully legitimate government documents.
"3) Disinformation created and dispersed by private citizens who are not connected to or paid by the government and who consider the matter of an extraterrestrial presence to be false and worthy of being thwarted.
"4) False information created and dispersed by a person or persons convinced of an extraterrestrial presence in a misguided attempt to advance the issue.

Obama’s Final Comment On Aliens – And It’s Importance To Humanity
Obama’s Final Comment On Aliens – And It’s Importance To Humanity
Did you know that in one of Obama’s final ever live public announcements, he made a rather direct comment about ‘the Aliens’. At first it appears that he is just fooling around, but when you look deep into his eyes, the expression on his face and the potential reasons WHY he decided to leave on the word ‘Aliens’ – stating that “he shouldn’t have mentioned the ALIENS”
That final look he gives, wasn’t only a dramatic pause; his mind seized up about one thing, you possibly can see it in his eyes.. even his face looked like it instantly lost all expression, almost like he was somewhere else and not speaking in front of millions of people live on TV.
Perhaps one of his final regrets was never getting round to disclosing the TRUTH about the ET’s and why they are visiting planet earth. Obama has hinted and joked about UFO’s and Aliens far more than any other president has ever done before!
Please check out the intriguing video below which is on Youtube. Look at Obama’s face and tell me that this is not a man with either serious regrets in his head, or serious concerns:
U.I.P Summary
Please remember this was NOT the first time that Obama ever raised the subject matter about the ‘Aliens’ or ‘UFO’s, as stated above in our article, Obama has hinted and been questioned about this subject matter far more than any other president – suggesting that he is very much the man in the know and may even at one stage wanted to be the US president that discloses the TRUTH about the ET’s!
Even Obama’s former adviser stated publicly on Twitter that his biggest regret whist in his position, was not disclosing the truth about the ET’s – please check our previous article below on this subject matter:
And lets not forget Obama’s previous two now famous interviews were he is quizzed on the ET’s (one of them being a child) and how he nervously, yet in some very strange deep reverse psychology way jokes about how he knows more than he makes out about the ET’s.
Please check out below or two previous articles on Obama’s ‘Alien interviews’:
Obama’s ‘confession’ about the Aliens! (U.I.P’s Verdict) When I recently heard that Obama was recorded live on TV discussing about Aliens and the UFO’s in the sky I initially just sighed to myself and had NO great expectations as to what … Continue readingObama’s ‘confession’ about the Aliens! (U.I.P’s Verdict)
It appears that Obama wanted to be the man who informs the world about the ET’s but became too anxious and perhaps too scared about the consequences that he would have to deal with.
They say that in space, no one can hear you scream – but that may not be the case if you’re having sex in a tiny space capsule, right next to other astronauts.
But if we want to get to Mars, we have to get serious – and work out how to bonk where no man has come before.
Sex in space is something that hasn’t actually been studied much – although there have been a fair few zero-gravity pornos filmed on planes doing parabolic flights.
Kris Lehnhardt of The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences says, ‘This is something that we, frankly, have never studied dramatically, because it’s not been relevant to date.
‘But if we want to become a spacefaring species and we want to live in space permanently, this is a crucial issue that we have to address that just has not been fully studied yet.
If we want to get here, we have to learn how to bonk in space Photo credit: Getty
Mouse experiments on the Space Station suggest that conception might be possible – but Lehnhardt says we don’t even know how a human embryo would fare off Earth.
How an embryo would grow on Mars, where the surface gravity is just 38% of Earth’s remains a mystery, Lehnhardt says.
The artist who had sex with a big-boobed alien
Picture David Huggins
A new film opens with artist David Huggins saying, simply, ‘When I was 17 I lost my virginity to a female extraterrestrial.’
It’s a bold claim, explored in a new film ‘Love and Saucers’ – where Huggins shows off his often sexually explicit paintings inspired by a life of unbridled sex with a being from another world.
Huggins is married, by the way.
Huggins claims that sex with Crescent was initially painful – but then they became lovers, and he fathered an alien child with ‘her’.One is simply titled, ‘Virginity lost’ – and many feature explicit scenes with Crescent, who resembles Gene Simmons from Kiss, but with breasts.
David Huggins says he has fathered several half-human, half-alien children – and has shown off a painting with alien women holding up weird hybrid babies he claims are his.
‘I just lay down on the ground and she got on top of me. I have no idea why me. I just don’t know.’
‘I don’t know much, but I do know for sure I lost my virginity to an extra terrestrial woman.’
Huggins has chronicled his often X-rated alien experiences as part of an exhibition of paintings, which depict no-holds-barred alien-on-human sex with merciless realism.
Huggins claims he was first abducted by aliens aged eight, but that his relationship with the sultry alien took off later.
Huggins claims he also met little hairy aliens, grey aliens and insectoid aliens, who he did not have sex with.
Nigel Watson, author of ‘The Haynes UFO Investigations Manual’ says, ‘David’s experiences are very detailed, and his works of art show they have had a powerful influence on him throughout his life. Yet, he is not the only one to claim such experiences, which haunt people from childhood onwards. In his book Communion, Whitley Strieber famously described being abducted by aliens who inserted a 1ft (0.3m)-long anal probe inside him. It seemed to be a living entity, so when it was taken out he was surprised to see it was a mechanical device.’
‘Many of these type of cases came to light in the 1960s but were largely ignored by ufologists, who just wanted to prove that UFOs were robot craft from outer space. Alien encounters and abductions only began being seriously considered and researched in the 1970s.’
‘In this period, the case of Antonio Villas Boas was the most outstanding. As he claimed that he was dragged inside a flying saucer and forced to have sexual intercourse with a beautiful alien woman. When he left, she pointed at her stomach, at him and then at the sky, implying she would have his child somewhere in outer space.’
‘To some ufologists these reports and many other similar cases seem to indicate that the aliens are conducting a hybrid breeding program to create a race of super beings, for what purpose we can only imagine. Sceptics claim these experiences are likely to be the product of sleep paralysis, where people are unable to discern the difference between fantasy and reality during the period between sleeping and waking.’
Een signaal dat in 1977 is opgevangen uit de ruimte is waarschijnlijk veroorzaakt door aliens. Dat zeggen wetenschappers nu, schrijft de Daily Caller.
Dr. Jerry Ehman ontdekte het Wow!-signaal in augustus 1977 met een radiotelescoop. Het signaal was zo bizar dat Ehman het omcirkelde en er ‘Wow!’ bij schreef.
In april publiceerde dr. Antonio Paris van het St. Petersburg College in Florida een studie waarin hij stelde dat het mysterieuze signaal waarschijnlijk afkomstig was van een waterstofwolk rond een komeet.
Extreem sceptisch
Paris claimde het Wow!-signaal te hebben gedebunked, maar SETI-astronomen zeggen nu dat ze extreem sceptisch zijn over zijn uitleg.
“Wij geloven niet dat de kometentheorie het Wow!-signaal kan verklaren,” zei Ehman tegenover nieuwssite Live Science.
Paris kon het oorspronkelijke signaal niet volledig herhalen. “Je zou verwachten dat de bron in drie minuten tijd twee keer doorkomt: een respons die 72 seconden duurt en een tweede respons die na 1,5 minuut volgt,” zei Ehman. “Die tweede hebben we niet gezien.”
Sterkste bewijs
Ehman claimt dat dit alleen kan zijn gebeurd als het signaal werd afgekapt. Een komeet zou zich niet op deze manier gedragen, maar een buitenaardse intelligentie wel.
Wetenschappers zien het Wow!-signaal als het sterkste bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschaving.
Vaak wordt gespeculeerd dat mysterieuze signalen uit de ruimte afkomstig zijn van aliens, maar meestal blijkt de bron een onbekend fenomeen te zijn.
Pulsar
In 1967 ontdekte een student een vreemd radiosignaal dat de naam LGM-1 (little green men) kreeg.
Sommigen dachten een signaal van aliens te hebben opgevangen, maar het bleek uiteindelijk te gaan om de eerste pulsar.
Volgens twee vooraanstaande wetenschappers, is het menselijk brein in feite een ‘biologische computer’ en het ‘bewustzijn van de mens’ een programma van de kwantumcomputer die zich in de hersenen bevindt en die nog blijft bestaan nadat we sterven. ‘Zoals experts het uitleggen; nadat mensen sterven, gaat hun ziel terug naar het universum, en het zal niet sterven ‘.
Het debat over het bestaan van de ziel en of het onsterfelijk is of sterft met de persoon is een eindeloos verhaal dat al eeuwenlang de grote denkers van de universele geschiedenis heeft bezig gehouden. Haar mysterieuze natuur blijft op verschillende gebieden van de wetenschap fascineren, maar nu heeft een groep onderzoekers een nieuwe waarheid over de ziel ontdekt: de “ziel” sterft niet; ze keert terug naar het universum.
Sinds 1996, hebben Dr. Stuart Hameroff, een Amerikaanse fysicus en emeritus in de afdeling Anesthesiologie en psychologie, en Sir Roger Penrose, een wiskundig natuurkundige aan de Universiteit van Oxford, gewerkt aan een Quantum Theory of Consciousness, waarin zij stellen dat de ziel wordt gehandhaafd in microtubuli van de hersencellen.
Hun ‘provocerende’ theorie stelt dat de menselijke ziel wordt opgenomen door de hersencellen in de structuren binnen hen genaamd microtubules.
De twee onderzoekers geloven dat het menselijk brein in feite een ‘biologische computer’ is en het ‘bewustzijn van de mens’ een programma van de kwantumcomputer die zich in de hersenen bevindt en die nog blijft bestaan nadat we sterven. ‘
Bovendien beweren beide wetenschappers dat wat mensen zien als ‘bewustzijn’ in feite het resultaat is van ‘kwantumgravitatie “effecten zich in de zogenaamde microtubuli bevinden. Dit proces wordt door de twee wetenschappers” georchestreerde objectieve reductie “(Orch- OF) genoemd.
De theorie geeft aan dat wanneer men een fase genaamd “klinische dood in gaat, de microtubuli in de hersenen hun kwantumtoestand verliezen, maar de daarin vervatte informatie behouden blijft. Met andere woorden, zoals deskundigen het uitleggen; nadat mensen sterven, keert hun ziel terug naar het heelal, en sterft niet’.
Sprekend met Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole documentary, zei Dr. Hameroff:
“Laten we zeggen dat het hart stopt met kloppen, het bloed stopt met stromen; de microtubules verliezen hun kwantumtoestand. De quantum informatie binnen de microtubuli wordt niet vernietigd, kan niet worden vernietigd, en het wordt gewoon gedistribueert en verdwijnt in het universum in het algemeen. Als de patiënt is gereanimeerd, nieuw leven ingeblazen, kan deze quantum informatie terug gaan in de microtubuli en de patiënt zegt dan: “Ik had een bijna-dood-ervaring.” Als ze niet nieuw leven ingeblazen krijgt, en de patiënt sterft, is het mogelijk dat deze quantum informatie kan bestaan buiten het lichaam, misschien zelfs voor onbepaalde tijd als ziel.”
Volgens deze theorie, zijn de menselijke zielen meer dan alleen ‘interacties’ van neuronen in onze hersenen en zouden al aanwezig kunnen zijn sinds het begin der tijden.
LIFE ON MARS? NASA FINDS EVIDENCE RED PLANET COULD HAVE BEEN TEEMING WITH ALIENS
LIFE ON MARS? NASA FINDS EVIDENCE RED PLANET COULD HAVE BEEN TEEMING WITH ALIENS
NASA has found some of the best evidence yet that Mars probably once had habitable conditions like Earth that could have supported alien life.
GETTY
Mars may have once been as habitable as Earth, says new NASA data.
The announcement follows studies on the latest samples taken by the Curiosity rover.
The space rover is a 4WD droid exploring the planet remotely and taking samples of the surface for any sign of alien life.
The rover examined a mudstone outcrop area called “Pahrump Hills” on lower Mount Sharp, in 2014 and 2015.
In a paper published recently in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, scientists in the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston report on the first four samples collected from the lower layers of Mount Sharp.
Elizabeth Rampe, the first author of the study and a NASA exploration mission scientist at Johnson, said: “We went to Gale Crater to investigate these lower layers of Mount Sharp that have these minerals that precipitated from water and suggest different environments.
“These layers were deposited about 3.5 billion years ago, coinciding with a time on Earth when life was beginning to take hold.
“We think early Mars may have been similar to early Earth, and so these environments might have been habitable.”
Curiosity landed near Mount Sharp in Gale Crater in August 2012 and reached the base of the mountain in 2014.
NASA’s stuning images of Mars
Mars in pictures: NASA shares stuning images of red planet.
Layers of rocks at the base of Mount Sharp accumulated as sediment within ancient lakes around 3.5 billion years ago.
Orbital infrared spectroscopy had shown that the mountain’s lowermost layers have variations in minerals that suggest changes in the area have occurred.
The minerals found in the four samples drilled near the base of Mount Sharp suggest several different environments were present in ancient Gale Crater.
There is evidence for waters with different pH and variably oxidising conditions. The minerals also show that there were multiple source regions for the rocks in “Pahrump Hills” and “Marias Pass”.
The paper primarily reports on three samples from the Pahrump Hills region. This is an outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp that contains sedimentary rocks scientists believe formed in the presence of water.
A NASA spokesman said: “Studying such rock layers can yield information about Mars’ past habitability, and determining minerals found in the layers of sedimentary rock yields much data about the environment in which they formed. “Data collected at Mount Sharp with the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument on Curiosity showed a wide diversity of minerals.”

We went to Gale Crater to investigate these lower layers of Mount Sharp that have these minerals that precipitated from water and suggest different environments.

At the base are minerals from a primitive magma source; they are rich in iron and magnesium, similar to basalts in Hawaii.
Moving higher in the section, scientists saw more silica-rich minerals.
In the “Telegraph Peak” sample, scientists found minerals similar to quartz. In the “Buckskin” sample, scientists found tridymite.
Tridymite is found on Earth, for example, in rocks that formed from partial melting of Earth’s crust or in the continental crust – a strange finding because Mars never had plate tectonics.
In the “Confidence Hills” and “Mojave 2” samples, scientists found clay minerals, which generally form in the presence of liquid water with a near-neutral pH, and therefore could be good indicators of past environments that were conducive to life.
The other mineral discovered here was jarosite, a salt that forms in acidic solutions.
There are different iron-oxide minerals in the samples as well.
Hematite was found near the base; only magnetite was found at the top. Hematite contains oxidised iron, whereas magnetite contains both oxidised and reduced forms of iron.
The type of iron-oxide mineral present may tell scientists about the oxidation potential of the ancient waters.
The authors discuss two hypotheses to explain this mineralogical diversity. The lake waters themselves at the base were oxidising, so either there was more oxygen in the atmosphere or other factors encouraged oxidation.

The Crop Circles are often believed to be created by aliens, as there is no proper explanation behind this phenomenon.Another hypothesis – the one put forward in the paper – is that later-stage fluids arose.
After the rock sediments were deposited, some acidic, oxidising groundwater moved into the area, leading to precipitation of the jarosite and hematite.
The spokesman added: “In this scenario, the environmental conditions present in the lake and in later groundwater were quite different, but both offered liquid water and a chemical diversity that could have been exploited by microbial life.”
Ms Rampe said: “We have all this evidence that Mars was once really wet but now is dry and cold.
“Today, much of the water is locked up in the poles and in the ground at high latitudes as ice.
“We think that the rocks Curiosity has studied reveal ancient environmental changes that occurred as Mars started to lose its atmosphere and water was lost to space.”

The 18 Top Secret UFO files that UK is still hiding
The 18 Top Secret UFO files that UK is still hiding
The UK government told us that the top secret UFO files would be released after June 8… but until now… nothing. The 18 files are kept hidden. Why?
The National Archives have confirmed the UFO document dubbed the “real life X-files” would be released after the General Election on June 8. Until this date, nothing in their site.
The UFO dossier is understood to contain around 18 files detailing alleged encounters and experiences involving alien life.
Conspiracy theorists have claimed the delays in releasing the files have been a cover-up – but archivists have been unable to publish them due to the election. Documents were meant to be released in 2013 (together with this already released documents: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos/), but a number of the files were withheld for release in March, with no plausible explanation.
But their release has been delayed again due to Prime Minister Theresa May calling an election.
UK Top Secret UFO files
Fake Disclosure
The famous Nick Pope, an expert who worked as the Ministry of Defence’s UFO investigator for 15 years, said:
“There’s no smoking gun in these files that will confirm the existence of aliens, but there are plenty of fascinating UFO reports and MoD policy documents, so these really are the real-life X-Files.”
“The delay has been a comedy of errors though, I think it’s more bureaucracy than conspiracy.”
The author of one of the most popular books on the planet —Chariot of the Gods— indicates Aliens will return to Earth in the near future –20 years— since we are part of their DNA. The evidence of their return is present all around us, scattered across the globe in ancient texts, monuments, and civilizations.
During the ‘Erich Von Daniken Legacy Night’ which celebrates 50 years of one of his bestseller books, Erich used a number of images, video clips, computer animations and other crucial pieces of evidence in order to back up his claims that thousands of years ago, before written history, Earth was visited by beings, not from Earth. Now, he claims, our ‘makers’ will return since mankind is almost ready to finally meet them.
The E.T.’s know about us because we are part of their DNA. The Bible speaks of the daughters of men having intercourse with these visitors, and many worldwide myths and legends repeat the same story. These stories always say the E.T.s will return to us.
Erich Von Daniken claims that in the distant past, alien beings played an extremely important role in the development of modern civilization. According to the author, there are worldwide myths, legends and ancient texts that are clear indicators of the role ‘the Gods’ played in the development of mankind. All of these stories and tales repeat the same outcome: One day, aliens will return to Earth.
From a safe hiding-place the inhabitants of the planet watch our space travellers, who wear strange hats with rods on their heads (helmets with antennae); they are amazed when the night is made bright as day (searchlights); they are terrified when the strangers rise effortlessly into the air (rocket-belts); they bury their heads in the ground again when weird unknown ‘animals’ soar in the air, droning, buzzing and snorting (helicopters, all-purpose vehicles), and lastly they take flight to the safe refuge of their caves when a frightening boom and rumble resounds from the mountains (a trial explosion). Undoubtedly our astronauts must seem like almighty gods to these primitive people, says Erich von Daniken.
I believe that at the moment we are under observation. This is based on conversations with very intelligent people, who have been told officially that UFOs are reality, and we are being watched, added the author.
During the presentation, where Erich was presented with the Stella Citizen Award by Ancient Aliens TV regular Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, the author said that ancient texts like the Christian Bible, religious texts from India and other make reference to heaven which according to him is in fact nothing other than a reference to outer space. Von Daniken claims that the so-called angels where nothing other that Alien visitors who came from elsewhere in the cosmos.
Now, after thousands of years have passed since the visitors touched down on Earth for the first time, we are approaching the time where society is ready to ‘meet’ our alien cousins.
Furthermore, alien contact has become something that millions around the world are already expecting. Our scientific achievements, social acceptance derived from continuous “bombardment” by Hollywood movies and series on alien life in the universe has allowed us to be prepared–as a race— to finally meet Alien civilizations without causing social unrest.
Von Daniken’s work has been translated into over 32 languages.
Enorm gat op Mars blijft gemoederen bezighouden. Is dit een ingang van een buitenaardse beschaving?
Enorm gat op Mars blijft gemoederen bezighouden. Is dit een ingang van een buitenaardse beschaving?
Een enorm gat op Mars stelt wetenschappers voor een raadsel. Sommige UFO-onderzoekers suggereren dat het mogelijk gaat om het werk van buitenaardsen, schrijft Fox News.
In een video die door SecureTeam 10 op YouTube is geplaatst, is een diep gat te zien in het Marslanschap. Astronomen vragen zich af wat het is.
Tyler Glockner, de eigenaar van SecureTeam 10, zei dat het gat een doorsnee heeft van enkele honderden meters.
Onduidelijk
Het is onduidelijk hoe dit enorme gat in het rotsachtige terrein van Mars, een planeet die net als de aarde ijskappen op de polen heeft, precies is ontstaan, voegde Glockner toe.
De beelden zijn gemaakt door NASA’s Mars Reconaissance Orbiter (MRO), die de rode planeet al een aantal jaren verkent.
Het filmpje is hieronder te bekijken:
NASA heeft verschillende mogelijke verklaringen gegeven voor het gat, waaronder meteorieten, lavabuizen, overstromingen en vulkanen.
Uitgegraven
Maar complottheoretici denken daar anders over. Glockner, die bijna een miljoen abonnees heeft op YouTube, zei dat het lijkt alsof het gat uitgegraven is.
Hij voegde toe dat het mogelijk een ingang is van een ondergrondse beschaving.
PHOENIX — It’s been more than 20 years since the Phoenix Lights phenomenon was spotted in the Arizona sky, but we’ve just now learned the name of the pilot who reported them.
Apparently that pilot was … Hollywood star Kurt Russell?
In the interview, the host described the Phoenix Lights and, briefly, the pilot who reported the event. He ended by saying, “mystery unresolved.”
Or not! That was when Russell, who starred in several space-related movies, took the UFO and ran. He said he spotted the lights while flying his son to Arizona.
“I was flying him to go see his girlfriend, and we’re on approach, and I saw six lights over the airport — absolutely uniform — in a V-shape,” he said.
While we were skeptical at this point, we certainly had our doubts after Russell said he didn’t give the incident another thought. That is until his wife, actress Goldie Hawn, watched a special about the lights on television two years later.
“They said, ‘A general aviation pilot reported it on landing.’ I had never thought of it since then, [and I said], ‘That was me,'” Russell said.
Of course, Russell never mentioned this publicly until this year. If he played such a large part in one of one of the most famous UFO sightings in American history — that certainly made headlines in Los Angeles — you think he’d, you know, phone home about it.
“Had I not seen that show, I would have never thought of it. That, to me, was the weird part,” Russell said, adding that he felt like Richard Dreyfuss from “Close Encounters [of the Third Kind].”
If you can’t tell, we’re doubting Russell’s account. There are just some specific details — like which airport he reported to — that were left out.
We also couldn’t help but notice that his big reveal came just a few days after the release of “Phoenix Forgotten,” a found-footage horror film based around the Phoenix Lights. We couldn’t find any ties between Russell and the film, however, so maybe we’re the conspiracy theorists now.
Whether Russell was telling the truth, playing a joke or helping promote a new movie, his account is just one of many that surround whatever was in the night sky more than 20 years ago.
LAST WEEK, IN THE BLUE Hills Reservation outside Boston, two teens and a 21-year-old set out to look for unidentified flying objects and got hopelessly lost.
They were, it’s safe to say, rather unprepared. One wore slippers—not the right footwear for the rocks and branches and undergrowth of the woods. Their phones weren’t fully charged. And they had no flashlights. After reaching the top of a hill and realizing they did not know where they were, and were surrounded by darkness, they decided to call for help.
The Boston Globeidentified the trio as Ramona DiFrancesco, 18; Travis Stoecklin, 21; and Savannah Winship-Cody, 17. Each was led out of the forest last Thursday night, unharmed, after being located by a police helicopter.
Despite the problems they encountered, DiFrancesco told the Globe that the hike was worth it. Not only was it “beautiful,” the three did, in fact, see some UFOs, including “three bright lights in the formation of a triangle” and some kind of circular thing that was “bigger than the moon,” DiFrancesco said.
New Multiple UFO Sighting Captured on Camera; Astronomers Dismiss It Simply as New Form of Light
New Multiple UFO Sighting Captured on Camera; Astronomers Dismiss It Simply as New Form of Light

UFO Update: Alien Invasion? Six Hovering Disc, Witnessed In Arizona; Details Inside
A multiple UFO sightings have been recently reported online. However, this strange object in the sky has been easily dismissed by experts simply as a new form of light or even lens flare.
The peculiar event witnessed by some people in broad daylight gained the attention of various news outlets and UFO dedicated agencies. As described by witnesses and seen on most photos, an "orb light inside a disk-shaped purple haze" appeared out of the blue.
Some news media outlet described the reported sighting and the alleged evidence as that of a "bizarre UFO" or an "eerie snap of a UFO." However, upon scrutiny of experts like astronomer Eamonn Ansbro, he believed that such anomaly in the sky is but a new form of light known as a plasma ball.
"There's a similar ball of light that has been seen in a place called Hessdalen in Norway. I know the people who operate there and they have automated instrumentation that has recorded them, and we've had recordings here as well. It appears to be a new form of light in physics that we don't know about yet, so we're putting the physics to it to see what it's about," Express quoted Eamonn Ansbro of Kingsland Observatory in Boyle, Co Roscommon as saying.
Meanwhile, this latest bizarre UFO sighting is not the first multiple sighting reported online. It can be remembered that in 2016, multiple UFO sightings have also been reported in Turkey.
The said phenomenon gained attention after various social media posts of the said phenomenon proliferated online. A hashtag "#ufoattacktoturkey" even became a trending topic.
Most photographs shared online showcased of a cluster of four or five orbs. The said orbs are usually seen in a triangle or wedge shape, which somehow coincides with the previous reports of UFO.
Watch here below a video record of a sighting in Turkey:

Mysterious flashes in the night sky perplex locals, but the lights may continue over the next few days
Daniel Zautsen, Macarthur Chronicle Campbelltown
MYSTERIOUS lights crossing the night sky over Camden and Campbelltown this week could be flashes from iridium flares — and they will be visible to anyone in the right place at the right time.
Sightings of flashing lights, some with a greenish tinge, over the weekend have been reported from across the region with some residents speculating they were shooting stars or UFOs.
Camden resident Jason Mack spotted the lights over Ingleburn while driving on the Hume Highway and posted his sighting to a community noticeboard on Facebook.
“It was a strange flash like a meteorite, the kind you’d see in a movie,” he said.
“It was pretty much over in two seconds but it looked like it was falling to earth, it would’ve landed out of my sight line.”
Macarthur Astronomical Society president Tony Law said the lights could be explained by a range of phenomenon including falling space junk, meteors or flashes from iridium flares (a flash of light from the solar panels of iridium satellites in orbit around the Earth).
International website Heaven’s Above, which tracks iridium flares, reports there will be a series of visible flashes over Camden in the coming days.
“There’s so much space junk up there now that it could be anything,” Mr Law said.
“We haven’t had any meteor showers we’ve been keeping an eye on recently but there were some a few weeks ago, we only really look out for the larger ones.
“NASA keeps track of all the space junk out there which is human-made material falling to the Earth, if you look at a map it’s like it covers the earth.
“There’s something falling to Earth all of the time.”
A series of iridium flares (listed above) that will be visible in Camden over the coming days.
Mr Law said iridium flares were commonly seen in the night sky.
“They are very common and happen all the time but you’ve got to be in the right place to see them,” he said
Mr Law took a 30-second photo (pictured) of an iridium flare back in 2014..
“You can very visibly see the tail of the satellite in the 30-second shot,” he said.
