Who owns Mars?
Who owns Mars?
Thomson Reuters Foundation
Can anyone claim the red planet or natural resources on asteroids?
Business leaders and legal experts say the question has become more than philosophical as a growing number of firms, often backed by capital and technology from Silicon Valley, have set their sights on the resources of outer space asteroids and Mars.
In order to avoid conflicts between competing companies and countries over outer space resources, more work needs to be done on Earth to determine who owns commodities taken from celestial bodies, analysts said.
“There is a huge debate on whether companies can simply travel to space and extract its resources,” said Barry Kellman, a law professor who studies space governance at DePaul University in Chicago.
“There is no way to answer the question until someone does it,” Kellman told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
ASTEROID WATER FOR SALE
U.S.-based Planetary Resources, a firm backed by Google founder Larry Page and Virgin Group’s Richard Branson, expects to be mining asteroids for water in the next 10 to 15 years.
The company will launch its first robotic probe mission to scout asteroids for resource deposits in 2020, said Planetary Resources’ Chief Executive Chris Lewicki.
“If you obtain a resource and bring it with you, it becomes your property,” Lewicki said, citing recently passed space laws in the U.S. and Luxembourg that offer a legal framework to ensure that private operators can be confident about their rights over resources they extract in space.
“You can sell, keep or deliver (space resources) peacefully,” Lewicki told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The firm plans to extract oxygen and hydrogen - the components of water - from asteroids to sell.
Lewicki is not planning on bringing those water resources back to Earth; he wants market them in space, creating a “gas station” for other exploration missions.
Hydrogen and oxygen, kept at a docking station orbiting around Earth, will be used to fuel other space ships.
Moving those fuels from Earth into outer space is expensive, he said, and having energy accessible to ships will make voyaging easier.
One modest sized asteroid, about as big as a football field, “has enough oxygen and hydrogen to fuel every launch in the history of space (travel),” Lewicki said.
“We are seeing a boom - that might be a bad choice of words - in access to space.”
MARTIAN APPROPRIATION
Other analysts are not sure if companies can just fly up and start harvesting cosmic water, legally speaking.
The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 is the main international standard for what companies and countries are allowed to do when they aren’t on earth, said Jacob Haqq-Misra, director of the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, a Seattle-based research group.
The treaty says that space is the “provenance of all mankind”. Countries cannot claim “national appropriation” or sovereignty over the Moon or other celestial bodies “by occupation or by other means”, the treaty says.
This clause could prove tricky for private firms who want to mine on asteroids or Mars, said Haqq-Misra, including Planetary Resources and SpaceX, the private rocketship company run by tech billionaire Elon Musk.
“If SpaceX, a U.S. corporation, was to claim asteroid profits as its own, there is some ambiguity as to whether that constitutes national appropriation,” Haqq-Misra told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
SpaceX declined to comment.
NEW LAWS While the 1967 treaty is considered the global standard for sharing space, individual countries have recently passed laws allowing for property rights in the great beyond.
Luxembourg this month brought into force laws allowing private firms to own resources extracted from outer space in a move hailed by the nascent space mining industry.
Planetary Resources, for example, maintains an office in the small European country better known for its finance industry than space exploration.
The U.S. in 2015 introduced similar legislation for private space resource ownership but it only applies to firms majority owned by Americans.
NASA, the U.S. government’s space agency, maintains a “neutral position with regard to mining of minerals on Mars”, a spokesman said.
“If companies request assistance or want partnerships related to mining on Mars, we help to the best of our ability,” NASA spokesman Guy Webster told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an email without providing specifics on space resource ownership.
FROM SEA TO SPACE
Along with national legislation and the 1967 treaty, there are other earthly regulations which could provide guidance for managing extraterrestrial resources, legal experts said.
Under the United Nations’ Law of the Sea Convention countries have exclusive rights to exploit natural resources within around 200 miles (322 km) of their coast line, but ships and planes from other nations can freely pass through the waters.
This could serve as a template for space resource rights, where companies have exclusive economic rights in a given area around their landing point, but not ownership over an entire asteroid or planet, lawyers said.
“It’s advantageous to work out a system where people can acquire property rights enforceable through a legal process,” Andrew Brehm, an attorney with Scopelitis, Garvin, Light Hanson & Feary in Milwaukee.
“That being said, outer space is viewed in society as something similar to the ocean, where there is a collective interest,” Brehm told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“A first come, first serve system does not necessarily work well when only certain countries or private entities can (currently) reach outer space.”
Even if countries can agree on a universal property rights regime for space, there are still plenty of earthly grievances for countries and companies to address, said Kellman, the law professor.
Specifically, analysts and legal experts do not know whether companies would have to pay taxes or royalties to anyone on earth for extracting space resources.
It is an issue space exploration firms have yet to deal with.
“For the moment, the company exists on earth, where all of the laws and regulations apply,” Planetary Resources’ Lewicki said.
Bargo UFO spotter sights mysterious black object on camera
Bargo UFO spotter sights mysterious black object on camera
Daniel McGookin, Macarthur Chronicle Campbelltown
Bargo resident who has captured multiple UFOs on video has stopped filming due to the sheer volume of sightings.
Darrin Cairns said the Macarthur region was a UFO hotspot and that he decided to stop filming two years ago when he became apprehensive over the many objects he saw.
He has captured UFOs on video in the skies above the Macarthur region on 10 occasions.
Footage of a ‘UFO’ arriving via a wormhole.
“I was seeing so many of them that it was starting to scare me a bit,” he said.
“I thought to myself, I just don’t want to know what is out there anymore.”
Mr Cairns spoke out and offered to share his footage after a Bradbury resident reported seeing a UFO at the weekend.
“When I was living in Bradbury, at around 2am I was looking out the window and there was a big black triangle,” he said.
“It was around 100m high, spinning around really slowly for about seven seconds before it disappeared towards a Wollongong direction.”
A UFO sighting over Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
The footage featured on this post is from 2013, when a small, black object sped across the Bargo sky.
“My son had pointed out the chemtrails left in the sky off planes, so I started filming the skies on my Sony Cyber Shot,” he said.
“I had been filming the sky one afternoon and just before I packed up the camera I captured a UFO as the last bit of footage.
“It was way too fast for our eyes. When I showed my family, we had no doubt it was a UFO.”
The Soviet nuclear missiles that produced the crescents lost the element of surprise when U.S. early-warning satellites appeared.(Photo-illustration by Théo; Landscape by by David Hajnal/shutterstock.com; Clips: Proquest Historical Newspapers)
Starting in March 1967, when the Space Age was less than a decade old, skywatchers from Ukraine to the Caucasus Mountains were repeatedly treated to a spectacle. Six times over a six-month period, hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens saw a strange crescent shape move across the sky in total silence.
Each time, the phenomenon was identical. The crescents moved west to east, convex edge forward, accompanied by smaller “sparks.” To some observers they were about the same angular size as the moon; others, farther north, reported them as much larger. They always appeared close to sunset, as afternoon transitioned into evening. After the sixth visitation, the crescents stopped appearing, just as mysteriously as they began, and never resumed.
The Soviet press speculated that they were UFOs. Amateur groups sprang up across the country to begin collecting and distributing eyewitness reports. The news quickly spread outside the U.S.S.R. and around the world, and within a year the sightings were mentioned in a U.S. Congressional hearing.
But there was a clue that connected the crescents to human space activities. On the same dates of the sightings, Moscow had launched Kosmos “scientific research satellites” (years later, each of the mysterious crescents was noted to have occurred about 95 minutes after that day’s launch—long enough for one orbit around Earth).
In November 1967, without any reference to the crescents, the U.S. Department of Defense made a startling accusation: The Kosmos launches were part of a new Soviet nuclear strike weapon, designed to put a warhead into low Earth orbit and then deorbit it over a target half a world away.
The timing was delicate. The United States and the U.S.S.R. were putting finishing touches on the Outer Space Treaty, which outlawed nuclear weapons in orbit, and the appearance of a system designed to do exactly that threatened to scuttle years of diplomacy.
The launches were timed so that the warheads were lit by the sun but observing cameras were shaded. Somebody in Moscow finally realized what these UFO reports really were and abruptly restricted media reporting, with no further official word about the “Kosmos” launches. In hindsight, if they had known what they were looking at, the UFO watchers’ reports would have revealed details of the propulsion that guided the dummy warheads to their targets at Kapustin Yar. Later test flights were launched at random times of day, so no evening apparitions were created.
The Soviets named the strike missile R-36Orb—a variant of an intercontinental ballistic missile known to the West as the SS-9 Scarp—and a handful were eventually installed in silos, but withdrawn in 1983 after the SALT II treaty definitively banned them.
Just why a descending nuclear warhead should produce a wide crescent-shaped wake was a mystery to the public for many years, though the CIA almost certainly knew the answer.
In September 2015, a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida; after releasing the second stage, the first stage flipped over, fired its engine to slow down, and for the first time landed on a platform in the Atlantic Ocean. Infrared images of the nighttime descent showed a distinct crescent shape ahead of the vehicle as exhaust particles, released in space, entered the atmosphere and bunched up. The striking similarity to the 1967 Russian apparitions made clear what they were: the exhaust from retrofiring rockets.
Following the collapse of the U.S.S.R., details about the R-36Orb began spilling out. Now we know what really happened: Top-secret space weapons tests were mistaken for alien visitors.
Drone or UFO? Police yet to identify over 100 flying objects spotted at Delhi airport
Drone or UFO? Police yet to identify over 100 flying objects spotted at Delhi airport
Every month, nearly 6-7 cases of pilots getting distracted by different objects are reported from near the airport. In most of the cases, pilots tell the location in nautical miles because of which the police could not make a breakthrough in any of the over 100 cases reported in the past two years.

From balloons to flying parasol, to drones and laser lights, pilots landing at the country’s busiest airport in Delhi are having a tough time dealing with distractions while landing or taking off.
Every month, nearly 6-7 cases of pilots getting distracted by different objects are reported from near the airport.
In most of the cases, pilots tell the location in nautical miles because of which the police could not make a breakthrough in any of the over 100 cases reported in the past two years.
Police say usually, flight movement is not stopped when pilots report such sightings. But when the air traffic controller (ATC) feels, they order suspension of flights.
“The pilot gives details of height, altitude and nautical miles and based on that we pinpointed the area over where the plane was flying when laser lights distracted the pilot. In cases of balloon or drone-like objects, the radar does not show anything. Personnel posted at watchtowers have been asked to report if they notice any such object but investigation has hit a dead end. In almost every case, the pilot was five nautical miles away from Delhi, which means the laser light originated from outside the capital,” said a Delhi Police official.
On August 15, CISF personnel posted at a watchtower noticed a balloon. When the team reached, they found that it was 80-90 feet away from the ground.
The police have asked traders not to supply such flashy lights at wedding venues near the airport. They have also asked the Union home ministry to prepare guidelines with a provision of punishment for those selling and buying drones illegally.
Under section 144 CrPC, Delhi Police have presently prohibited the use of laser beams by any individual or group or organizers in areas around the airport.
“Any person, group of persons, organizers, owners, occupiers, employees contravening these orders shall be liable to be punished in accordance with provisions of section 188 of the IPC ,” the official said.
Scotland an alien nation as expert reveals over 1000 UFO sightings a year
Scotland an alien nation as expert reveals over 1000 UFO sightings a year
Malcolm Robinson insists the country is a hotspot for strange goings on in the skies and claims the Government is trying to cover it up.
BY ANDREW BARGH
Robinson is a self-styled expert on alien visits
A self-styled UFO expert has revealed there are about 1000 reported sightings in Scotland every year.
Malcolm Robinson last night insisted Scotland is a hotspot for strange goings on in the skies but claimed the Government are trying to cover it up.
The Scot, from Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, is the founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations and speaks at events on claims of alien visitors.
Robinson admitted 98 per cent of sightings can be explained. But he said the remaining genuine reports give cause for curiosity.
Robinson, who now lives in Hastings, said: “It’s extraordinary. Something is definitely going on in the skies above Scotland.
Robinson believes the Government are trying to cover up UFO sightings
“Sightings are on the rise and interest in the subject is increasing. Of the roughly 1000 reports we get from Scotland every year, 10 to 20 can be be described as accurate.
“There are natural explanations for 95 per cent of them, around three per cent are test aircraft and sometimes there is rare atmospheric phenomena.
“There are several hotspots in the country – Bonnybridge is one of the best in the world.
“It’s my job to unmask frauds and prove to sceptics that this is reality.” Robinson worked alongside former Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan in the 90s when sightings began in the town.
More than 300 are still reported every year and the pair have written to every Prime Minister since John Major to ask for an inquiry – without response.
Robinson believes the Government are withholding information.
He said: “There are many sceptics and I started off as one of them. But I did research, looked at the overwhelming evidence and had my eyes opened.
“Sightings are on the rise and I am certain the British Government know what is going on.
“They have information they aren’t willing to share. The $1million question is, ‘Where are these objects coming from?’”
His book UFO Case Files of Scotland is being re-printed next month.

Regularly occurring UFO outran jets says former Yugoslav General
On several occasions in 1975, Yugoslav Air Force jets saw a strange multi-colored glowing orb, but every time they tried to investigate, it would outrun their jet fighters. Finally, after failed attempts to get a closer look, and facing ridicule for reporting the incidents, they chose to ignore it.
This is according to General Zvonimir Jurjevic, former commander of the Air Force and Air Defense of Yugoslavia. The story was first revealed in 2011 in a book on the 172 Aviation Regiment, which was lead by Jujevic. He recently discussed the UFO encounters again in an interview with Sputnik International.
According to Jujevic the UFO encounters began in January, 1975 and lasted for several days. Every night, 50 minutes after take off, he would see the object.

“The object looked like a glowing orb, very well visible, maybe ten times lighter than the brightest star at that moment,” Jurjevic told Sputnik International. “Color constantly changed: white, yellow, light red, orange, again white, and so on. It appeared from nowhere, unexpectedly.”
“It was attracting attention on purpose,” Jurjevic speculated.
Jurjevic was not the only one to see the object, many of the pilots in his regiment also reported it. However, it never turned up on radar.
Jurjevic recalls that on January 25, he decided to attempt to get a closer look. However, once he headed towards the object, it took off and was gone. Soon after, Jurjevic devised a better plan to catch the object off guard. He recruited the pilots of three other aircraft to join in him the hunt.
On that night, in late January, Jurjevic and another aircraft took off unannounced. Two other jets took off soon after. They had decided not to inform anyone of their plans, nor discuss it on radio, just in case the object was related to some sort of monitoring of their movements by a foreign country.
“I only just stabilized the flight somewhere over Cetinje, when suddenly the object flashed over Budva, and Lieutenant Machec saw it above Niksic,” Jurjevic recalled. “I ordered Machec to stay in place, and took a course parallel to the Adriatic coast, where I tried to establish at what distance the object was: it turned out that it was at about ten kilometers.”
10 kilometers was as close as Jurjevic could get. The object continued to match his speed and movements to stay the same distance away no matter what Jurjevic tired. Two supersonic Soviet MiG-21s were dispatched to the area from Belgrade. During the entire incident, the object could not be seen on radar, until the MiGs arrived. However, it was no help. The object was able to outmaneuver the MiGs as well.

Jurjevic was met with a lot of curiosity by his colleagues, but also ridicule. He denied the object was of no danger, and since he did not want to deal with the ridicule, he decided to ignore it from there on out.
UFO blogger Billy Cox got ahold of a translation by Giuliano Marinkovic of the 2011 book in which Jurjevic first told the story. He gave this account of their last encounter with the unusual object.
“People watched me suspiciously and squadron commander approached and told me that 100 people at the apron are watching UFO and that I am only person who can’t see it. I replied loudly so other could hear me that I can’t see anything because I don’t want to see it so everyone should stop commenting and do his job as usual. After appearing above airport, UFO turned off its lights and vanished forever.”

Jurjevic told Sputnik International the last encounter was on February 12, 1975.
This story is a great example, and a common one I have heard from military UFO witnesses. Often it is not a grand conspiracy that makes people in the military sweep UFO encounters under the rug. It is ridicule or the uneasiness of being associated with a UFO event.
One retired Navy radar tech told me that he faced a lot of ridicule for reporting UFOs they caught on their ship’s radar. When he asked fellow radar techs if they also observed extremely fast unidentified aircraft on their scopes, sometimes they said they had. When asked why they they did not report them, they said they didn’t want the headache of dealing with the fallout of reporting them.
You hear this same sentiment from commercial airline pilots, police officers and many others. It makes one wonder how many other extraordinary sightings go unreported and investigated.

Rich Hoffman – Cloverdale UFO Mystery – August 22, 2017
Open Minds UFO Radio: Rich Hoffman has been investigating the UFO phenomena for over 52 years. He grew up in Dayton, Ohio, the home of Project Blue Book, the US Air Force Project that was in place from 1952 to 1969. At age 15 he appeared on a Phil Donahue show in Dayton and became known as the local UFO expert which quickly propelled him into presenting to associations, churches, and many other organizations and appeared on TV and radio. When the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) first formed, he quickly joined and held numerous positions, including the State Director for Alabama, Director of MUFON Strategic Projects and served on the MUFON Science Review Board’s Top 10 case review committee. Rich is also a member of NARCAP, the Planetary Society, and although he is no longer with MUFON, he continues UFO investigations on his own and with the Scientific Coalition for Ufology (SCU). The later is known for their thorough report on a UFO video captured by Homeland Security in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Rich is an IT professional working for a defense contractor firm supporting the Army Materiel Command HQ located at Redstone Arsenal, in Huntsville, Alabama.
One of Rich’s current projects is the investigation of mysterious balls of lights that appear in Alabama. In this interview, we talk to Rich about this light phenomenon, its history, and Rich’s ongoing investigation.

The total eclipse that will be visible in parts of the U.S. is an exciting celestial event. That has people, such as the ones who made today’s Google search animation, thinking about aliens. Many are wondering if UFO sightings will increase, and some have suggested aliens may be coming to check out the event themselves.
Google search animations are always fun, and several have included aliens or UFOs. However, why they decided to use aliens in today’s eclipse animation is anyone’s guess. As you can see above, the aliens are playing bouncy ball with the Moon. Although it is a fun animation, it is not an educational one. This is not how eclipses occur, but if you click on the image from the Google search page, you will find actual facts about eclipses.
What makes today’s total eclipse special is that it can be seen in the U.S., which is great for those of us in this country who might live in areas where there will be a total eclipse, or those who can take some time off and get to one of those areas.
While eclipses are not created by aliens bouncing the Moon in front of the Sun, some do believe aliens are responsible for the Moon. One of the strange anomalies that give people the idea that the Moon is too peculiar to be natural is the incredible coincidence that makes a total eclipse possible.
(Credit: NASA)
An eclipse is created when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, partially blocking its light. Big deal, right? We have all seen a shadow, so that is nothing special. However, the Moon is very small compared to the Sun, so why does it appear to be the same size during a total eclipse? The Sun is actually 400 times larger than the moon. The amazing coincidence is that it is also about 400 times further away as well. This allows it to perfectly block out the sun when it passes in front of it.
This illustration depicts a rare alignment of the Sun and Moon casting a shadow on Earth. (Credits: NASA)
Because the Moon perfectly covers the Sun, it allows scientists an opportunity to study the Sun’s atmosphere in a manner that would otherwise not be possible.
Although I am not so sure aliens brought the Moon into Earth’s orbit, I got to admit, this is a weird coincidence.
As for UFO sightings, Nick Pope, former UFO researcher for the Ministry of Defense, recently told the Daily Express UFO sightings do increase during an eclipse.
“Past experience suggests there will be an upsurge in UFO sightings during the total eclipse,” Pope explained. “I suspect many of these will turn out to be news helicopters filming the crowds, or drones flown by amateur photographers, and maybe the sightings occur simply because more people are looking at the sky.”
He predicted there will be hundreds of sightings.
Another UFO researcher, Cheryl Costa, examined UFO sighting reports in an ideal eclipse watching location in her recent blog for the Syracuse New Times.
“Any seasoned sky watcher will tell you that the high desert is where you want to be to observe such a celestial event,” Costa wrote. “For this specific solar eclipse event, the city of Madras, Oregon, is going to be an ideal place. Madras is positioned close to the centerline of the solar eclipse path of totality. At an elevation of 2,242 feet (683 meters), the high desert environment in August is regularly clear skies.”
In order to estimate the possibility of UFO sightings in the area during the eclipse, she ran some numbers.
“According to the UFO Sighting Desk Reference, from 2001-2015, Oregon ranked No. 13 of all 50 states and the District of Columbia with 3,013 reported UFO sightings,” Costa noted.
However, UFO reports are not the only unusual reports we may get from the eclipse. Of course you had my off-the-wall suggestion the Moon was brought here by aliens, but according to Pope, this may be only the tip of the iceberg.
“Sadly, there’s a dark side – pun intended – to the eclipse,” Pope explained to the Daily Express. “Such events bring out the crazies, and I confidently predict that there will be an upsurge in nutjobbery at the time of the total eclipse. I’ve already seen predictions that the world will end, along with suggestions that we’ll see more sightings of Bigfoot, demons, and all manner of other weird stuff.”
Here at OpenMinds.tv “weird stuff” is our specialty, so stay tuned and we will let you know if we come across any noteworthy “nutjobbery” or legit UFO sightings. Until then, enjoy the eclipse.

Mars may experience snowstorms at night, a new study finds, suggesting that the Martian atmosphere is far more active than previously thought.
Mars is dry compared to Earth: Its cold nature makes it unlikely that any of the ice on the Red Planet's surface would melt, and its extremely thin atmosphere would cause any liquid water on the surface to vaporize nearly immediately. Still, Mars' atmosphere does possess clouds of frozen water.
Previous research suggested that if snow did fall from those clouds, it would waft down very slowly. "We thought that snow on Mars fell very gently, taking hours or days to fall 1 or 2 kilometers [0.6 to 1.2 miles]," said study lead author Aymeric Spiga, a planetary scientist at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris. [Photos: Most Powerful Storms of the Solar System]
Now, Spiga and his colleagues have found that snow can rapidly descend on Mars in storms. "Snow could take something like just 5 or 10 minutes to fall 1 to 2 km [0.6 to 1.2 miles]," Spiga told Space.com.
The researchers were analyzing data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft when they noticed a strong mixing of heat in the Martian atmosphere at night "about 5 km [3 miles] from the surface," Spiga said. "This was never seen before.
"You expect heat to get mixed in the Martian atmosphere close to the surface during the daytime, since the surface gets heated by the sun," Spiga explained. "But my colleague David Hinson at Stanford University and the SETI Institute saw it higher up in the atmosphere and at night. This was very surprising."
To explain these findings, the researchers developed an atmospheric model to simulate the weather on Mars. "It took something like three to four years to come up with a model sophisticated enough to reproduce Mars' clouds," Spiga said.
The scientists discovered that the cooling of water-ice cloud particles during the cold Martian night could generate unstable turbulence within the clouds.
"This can lead to strong winds, vertical plumes going upward and downward within and below the clouds at about 10 meters [33 feet] per second," or about 22 mph (36 km/h), Spiga said. "Those are the kinds of winds that are in moderate thunderstorms on Earth."
Snow can get caught inside these winds and rapidly fall downward. The researchers said that such Martian snowfall is analogous to small, localized storms on Earth called microbursts, in which cold, dense air carrying snow or rain gets rapidly transported downward from a cloud.
Any snow landing on Mars would not last long. Once the sun rises, any water ice on the surface would turn to vapor, "unless it was in a very cloudy region or high latitudes," Spiga said.
If the clouds the snow falls from are more than about 1.2 miles (2 km) from the Martian surface, the snow might turn to vapor before it even hits the surface, Spiga added. "This is something observed on Earth sometimes, with something called virga — streaks of rain falling from the clouds can vaporize before reaching the surface," he said.
Martian snowstorms could explain previously unexplained signs of snow detected in 2008 by the laser scanner aboard NASA's Phoenix lander.
"We are able to explain two different mysterious and surprising observations with a single meteorological phenomenon — these snowstorms," Spiga said.
These findings suggest that the Martian atmosphere is more dynamic than previously thought. "Since you have these powerful winds, these are able to vigorously mix anything, such as heat, water, methane, ozone, dust," Spiga said. "We can now use this data to see what impact these winds have on, say, how water moved from one region to another on Mars in the present and past."
Future research will aim to get more glimpses of these Martian snowstorms, Spiga said. "We want to look all over Mars and see when they happen at night, and what seasons they occur and the effect they have on a global scale," he said.
The scientists detailed their findingsonline yesterday (Aug. 21) in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The first demonstration of the 3D printing technology is a cozy, 400-square-foot (37 square meters) home with an unusual, curved shape.

A new house has been erected in a town outside Moscow, but this home was not built in the traditional sense — it was constructed with 3D printing.
The first 3D-printed residential home, engineered by the tech startup Apis Cor, took less than a day to construct and cost under $11,000 to complete. A mobile 3D printer created the building's concrete walls and partitions as a fully connected structure, rather than printing the building in panels at an off-site facility as is usually done, the company said. The portable machine was then removed from the building, and a group of contractors completed the home — adding the roof and windows, and finishing the interior.
"We want to help people around the world to improve their living conditions," Nikita Chen-yun-tai, Apis Cor's founder and inventor of the mobile printer, said on the company's website. "That's why the construction process needs to become fast, efficient and high-quality as well. For this to happen, we need to delegate all the hard work to smart machines."
The first example of this work is a cozy, 400-square-foot (37 square meters) home with an unusual, curved shape. The curved design of the home was chosen to demonstrate the 3D printer's ability to print the construction material in any shape, according to Apis Cor.
Inside, the 3D-printed home has all of the standard features of a traditionally built house. The studio-style dwelling has a hall, bathroom, living room and compact kitchen. Apis Cor partnered with Samsung on the demonstration house; the electronics giant provided the home's appliances, including a TV with the same curvature as the living-room wall.
Apis Cor estimated that the total cost of the demonstration house's construction was about $25 per square foot, or $275 per square meter. Of the total $10,134 it cost to build the home, the windows and doors were the most expensive components, the company said.
While the total construction savings of the demonstation house compared to a tranditional home are difficult to estimate, Apis Cor representatives said in a statement that savings from 3D printing the building walls are guaranteed.
Het was volgens Elon Musk niet eenvoudig om functionaliteit en esthetiek te verenigen, maar SpaceX is er dan toch in geslaagd om een ruimtepak te ontwerpen dat aan beide criteria voldoet. De CEO van het bekende privéruimtevaartbedrijf onthulde op Instagram een glimp van wat mogelijk gedragen zal worden door de eerste mensen die een voet op Mars zetten. "Komende dagen volgt er nog meer."
"Het is interessant om op te merken dat het pak effectief functioneert", schreef Musk bij de foto. "Het is geen testmodel. Het is al uitgeprobeerd met een dubbele vacuümdruk."
Kolonisatie Musk is er altijd duidelijk over geweest dat het hoofddoel van SpaceX de kolonisatie van Mars is. Hij wil een 1.000-tal ruimteschepen in een baan rond de aarde brengen met herbruikbare raketlanceerders. Die wil hij dan voorzien van brandstoftanks. Iets wat zo'n twee jaar zal duren. (lees hieronder verder)
Daarna wil hij 100 ruimtereizigers in elk ruimteschip laten stappen, samen met hun bagage en materiaal dat ze nodig kunnen hebben voor de opstart van een kolonie. Die zullen dan samen naar Mars vertrekken.
"Als we de kost voor een reis naar Mars op hetzelfde niveau kunnen brengen als een gemiddeld huis in de VS - 170.000 euro - is de kans groot dat we er een leefbare en zelfvoorzienende kolonie zullen kunnen stichten", zei hij eerder al. Over hun outfit hoeven de ruimtereizigers zich alvast geen zorgen te maken.
elonmuskFirst picture of SpaceX spacesuit. More in days to follow. Worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup). Already tested to double vacuum pressure. Was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. Easy to do either separately.
Diamanten van onschatbare waarde zitten in de reuzenplaneten Uranus en Neptunus, zo blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek. De 'diamantenregen' wordt gevormd wanneer waterstof en koolstof onder extreme druk tot 7.000 kilometer onder het oppervlak worden geduwd.
Op duizenden jaren tijd zakken de diamanten door de ijslagen om rond de kernen van beide planeten te accumuleren, menen experts.
Het gaat niet om de geringste diamanten. Volgens de wetenschappers kunnen de diamanten miljoenen karaat wegen. Ter vergelijking: de bekende 'Great Star of Africa', de diamant die deel uitmaakte van de Britse kroonjuwelen, weegt 530,4 karaat. De peervormige Great Star of Africa, die in de kop van de koninklijke scepter is verwerkt, is het grootste segment van een diamant die in 1905 in Zuid-Afrika werd ontdekt. De diamant woog meer dan 3.000 karaat.
Uranus en Neptunus staan bekend als de 'ijsgiganten': niet alleen hebben ze een dikke atmosferische laag, ze zijn ook grotendeels uit ijs samengesteld.
Voor de nieuwe studie simuleerden vorsers de extreme omstandigheden binnenin de planeten met een krachtige laser. Die maakte schokgolven in polystyreen, een plastic gemaakt van waterstof en koolstof, om de druk na te maken die onder het oppervlak van de planeten wordt aangetroffen. Bijna elke koolstofatoom in het polystyreen werd opgenomen in microscopische diamantstructuren van enkele nanometers breed, zo melden de wetenschappers in het vakblad Nature Astronomy. Hoewel de vorming van de diamant slechts fracties van een seconde duurde, was dit het eerste duidelijke experimentele bewijs van de theorie.
"Voordien konden we enkel veronderstellen dat de diamanten werden gevormd. Toen ik de resultaten van dit recente experiment zag, was dat één van de beste momenten uit mijn wetenschappelijke carrière", stelt hoofdvorser Dominik Kraus, professor aan het Duitse onderzoekslaboratorium Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).
A video of a UFO over Warminster, one of many sites seemingly vying for the title of “UFO Capital of the UK,” has many in the arearememberinganother famous UFO seen in the same area over 50 years ago that was given the nickname “Warminster Thing.” Has the ‘thing’ returned? Will Warminster take the unofficial title away from Cornwall?
“I had never seen anything like it before. It really caught my eye. It went on for quite some time before flying off into the distance towards Longleat.”
The UFO was spotted and recorded by Jeremy Le Fevre from his home in Frome, Somerset, which is near Warminster, Wiltshire Both towns are near Longleat where Le Fevre claimed the UFO disappeared to. It’s also near Cley Hill where a strange crop circle appeared recently. Le Fevre gave his thoughts on what the UFO might have been.
“It was emitting green and red colours. It looked to me like it could have been fireworks attached to a drone. It’s still very much unidentified though.”
Many who watched the video noticed its resemblance and close proximity to a UFO reported in June. That one was eventually proven to be lights emitted by a stunt plane belonging to the night air-display acrobatics group AeroSparxwhich is based nearby and performs nighttime shows using planes with fireworks attached to their wingtips. It’s highly likely that the latest UFO is another Identified AeroSparx Object.
Or is it?
Warminster’s spot on the UFO Capital list dates back to Christmas Day, 1964, when a mysterious explosion shook the town. Arthur Shuttlewood described it in his book, The Warminster Mystery:
“The air was brazenly filled with a menacing sound. Sudden vibrations came overhead, chilling in intensity. They tore the quiet atmosphere to raucous rags and descended upon her savagely. Shockwaves pounded at her head, neck and shoulders.”
The noises continued and the descriptions sounded like sonic booms, but no military or government agencies admitted to being responsible. As the booms continued, they were accompanied by reports of unidentified objects in the sky. Arhtur Shuttlewood was one of those witnesses. He was also the features editor at The Warminster Journal newspaper, which put him in the right place to receive a famous photograph taken by Warminster resident Gordon Faulkner of what looked like a flying saucer.
Shuttlewood’s publication of the photo turned Warminster into an early UFO capital, drawing thousands of people hoping to see the “thing” and prompting the city to hold a town meeting to deal with the crowds. The BBC filmed a documentary on the thing in 1966 and sightings continued regularly into the 1980s, prompting other books, the formation of a UFO society and, on the 50th anniversary in 2015, a mural commemorating the event.
With all of that, there’s still no explanation for the Warminster Thing. Aeromax, the likely culprit for the latest UFOs, wasn’t around back then. Sonic booms were and secret aircraft test were still a possibility. The number of sightings in such a short period could also be mass hysteria.
Is the Warminster Thing back? Not likely. However, with the second report of a spark-emitting UFO in Warminster, it could lose its place on the UFO hotspot list unless AeroSparx moves somewhere else.
If you’re still on the fence about NASA, some other space agency or a coalition of governments banding together to develop a plan to destroy or deflect giant asteroids heading towards Earth … what’s wrong with you? How can you be against saving us from the fate of the dinosaurs? Maybe this will knock you over to the “whack those ‘roids back to the Kuiper Belt” side. A new study found that the impact of the Chicxulub asteroid some 66 million years ago stretched far beyond the Yucatan Peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico and its force was felt far longer than first thought.
“Our study picks up the story after the initial effects—after the earthquakes and the tsunamis and the broiling. We wanted to look at the long-term consequences of the amount of soot we think was created and what those consequences might have meant for the animals that were left.”
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was led by National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) scientist Charles Bardeen. He first points out what we already know – the Chicxulub asteroid’s impact sent huge tsunamis across the oceans, created earthquakes and volcanoes and vaporized rock that fell around the planet, sparking fires that cooked plants and animals far from the impact zone.
As bad as that sounds – along with all of the dinosaurs that were killed immediately – this was just the beginning. Using the Community Earth System Model (CESM), Bardeen and his team simulated the effect of the soot from those fires. They found that solar heat lifted the fine particle far higher into the atmosphere than first suspected, and the amount was enough to create a global barrier that completely blocked out the Sun … think eclipse with the moon stuck in the full blackout position for up to 18 months.
It gets worse. The fires killed most plant life and the darkness killed photosynthesis for the rest, so the next step down on the scale of life was phytoplankton, the microalgae that fill the oceans and feed so much of marine life. Unfortunately, phytoplankton themselves feed on … you guessed it … sunlight. Without it, most of the phytoplankton died off, upsetting the ecological balance of the oceans.
We’re here, so obviously, as bad as this sounds, it eventually ended. Surprisingly, the simulation showed that the clearing of the soot happened faster than expected. While the temperature at the planet’s surface dropped substantially — 50 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) over land and 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) over water – the upper atmosphere got hot as the soot absorbed sunlight. That destroyed the ozone layer, which was replaced by water vapor. This huge reservoir of water eventually cooled, falling to Earth and washing the soot quickly from the atmosphere. Eventually, surviving seeds and phytoplankton revived and the planet came back to life.
Does this sound like a nuclear winter? Bardeen thinks so too.
“The amount of soot created by nuclear warfare would be much less than we saw during the K-Pg extinction. But the soot would still alter the climate in similar ways, cooling the surface and heating the upper atmosphere, with potentially devastating effects.”
Wait a minute … I thought we were talking about killer asteroids, not killer nuclear wars. The devastation would be the same. Which do you think has a higher chance of occurring in your lifetime?
“On the Southwest part of the Archuleta Mesa, we built an underground facility the better part of three cubic miles hollowed out underground. And to the southwest of that, we were in the process of the early stages of building, we drilled four large tunnel-like holes, some of them ran two and a half miles underneath the surface. . . . The drilling machines that were used were at the rate of two miles a day, it was fairly rapid. The equipment kept coming up broken. So we wanted to send somebody down there, a human observer . . . to find out what was going on.”
Above is a quote given by Phil Schneider, who spent two years travelling around the country leaking some very sensitive information. One day, a friend of his named Al Pratt, along with the manager of the apartment complex where Phil lived, found him dead in his apartment. While his death was originally attributed to a stroke, many believe he was murdered for leaking this information.
Phil’s story has gained a lot of attention from UFO researchers, and that’s because his story never changed, and has been corroborated by other people as well. It also aligns with a lot of other information that has been leaked on this subject.
Phil himself claimed to be a government contractor who specialized in engineering and geology. He was tasked multiple times with building underground military facilities.
Now, keep in mind that deep underground military facilities are no conspiracy theory; even in-bottom and under-bottom bases beneath the ocean are most likely a reality. Plans to begin this type of construction began long ago. For example, in 1968, the Stanford Research Institute discussed the construction of dozens of undersea bases in a study titled “Feasibility of Manned In-Botton Bases.”
Programs like these are funded directly by the “Black Budget,” a little-known term that became widespread after Snowden leaked sensitive information about the NSA (and other) global surveillance program(s). These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as “Deep Black programs” and “Special Access Programs.” A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.”
Schneider continues:
To our total surprise, first of all the government knew all about it, they didn’t tell anybody. When I saw Green Beret and Black Beret people encamped inside of our geologist camp, I knew something was up, the gig was up. First of all I knew all about the alien agenda — I’ll explain that in a few minutes. The large alien greys had been encamped there for, as best, as believed possible, for about 4 or 500 years. It had been one of their internal bases, and we drilled holes right on top of it. . . . Well, that’s when all hell broke loose, really.

Keep in mind, not all supposed extraterrestrials have been given such a scary depiction, there are constantly reports and information alluding to the idea that there are many benevolent races out there, and possibly a couple of malevolent races. Who really knows, but it’s important as we move through the disclosure process to keep an open mind, and not state things that we cannot know with absolute certainty. The two articles below discuss multiple possible races.
Phil goes on to describe how he was injured and maimed as a result of this incident. In the lecture, he shows his scars and his missing toes and fingers.
His story also has the attention of several researchers, which says there could be some truth to it, but we can’t say for sure just as we cannot verify his background with certainty. However, the pictures, documents, and support from other colleagues and family in getting his story out there, suggests there is some truth to his claims.
Below is a picture provided from Phil in one of his lectures, where he claims the gentleman in the red circle is actually an extraterrestrial. The men in the back are the world’s most brilliant scientists, and the man to the right of the supposed extraterrestrial is Phil’s father, a high ranking navy officer, Oscar Schneider, who has a verified background.
Phil’s story is a long one, with lots of information and research to do. To truly determine if there is any validity behind these claims, and there very well could be, it’s important to really do your research into this field. A wise man once said “condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” Prior to the Edward Snowden leaks, everybody believed that mere mass surveillance was a conspiracy theory.
When it comes to this subject, with UFOs being verified in the mainstream and talk of intelligent extraterrestrials spreading, it’s always a good idea to keep an open mind. We need to understand that we can entertain an idea without fully accepting it, and we’re living in an age where new information will continue to emerge which challenges and conflicts with old belief systems.

Geoloog had angstaanjagende ontmoeting met ondergrondse buitenaardsen. Moest hij sterven omdat hij te veel wist?
Geoloog had angstaanjagende ontmoeting met ondergrondse buitenaardsen. Moest hij sterven omdat hij te veel wist?
Explosievenexpert en geoloog Phil Schneider zou in 1979 in Dulce in New Mexico hebben geholpen bij de bouw van een geheime ondergrondse basis voor de Amerikaanse overheid.
In 1995 vertelde hij openlijk dat hij tijdens werkzaamheden oog in oog was komen te staan met buitenaardse wezens.
Schneider was naar eigen zeggen één van de drie overlevenden van een gevecht tussen mensen en buitenaardsen in augustus 1979.
Aanslag
Phil Schneider
Hij sprak zich buitengewoon kritisch uit over inspanningen van de overheid om burgers in het duister te houden.
Tot zijn dood in 1997 gaf hij vele lezingen over zijn ervaringen in Dulce. Schneider beweerde dat in de tussenliggende periode herhaaldelijk een aanslag op zijn leven was gepleegd.
Zijn volgelingen geloven dan ook niet dat hij om het leven is gekomen door zelfmoord.
Grote gaten
Schneider vond het verdacht dat er zoveel groene baretten aanwezig waren rond het kamp waar de ondergrondse basis moest worden gebouwd.
Er werden vier grote gaten in de grond geboord. Uit de gaten kwam een zwarte roetwolk omhoog, aldus Schneider tijdens een lezing in 1995.
Hij moest tijdens de bouw poolshoogte gaan nemen en kwam oog in oog te staan met een ‘grote Grey’ – een 2 meter lang buitenaards wezen.
Vreemde energie
“Het wezen stonk nog erger dan een vuilnisbak,” zei hij. “Het zag er verschrikkelijk uit.”
Schneider greep naar zijn pistool en doodde twee wezens, maar niet voordat één van hen een vreemde energie op hem kon afvuren.
Het wezen maakte een soort gebaar met zijn hand, waarna Schneider werd getroffen door een blauwe straal die dwars door hem heen brandde.
Hij liet het publiek zien dat hij enkele vingers miste en ook had hij een litteken op zijn borst.
1477 ondergrondse bases
Een groene baret redde Schneiders leven en bracht hem naar een lift. Die dag kwamen meer dan 60 mensen om, aldus Schneider.
De twee andere overlevenden wonen in een verzorgingstehuis in Canada. Ze worden beschermd door de Canadese overheid en geen enkele Amerikaan mag bij ze in de buurt komen omdat ze bang zijn te worden ontvoerd, zei hij.
Volgens Schneider zijn er 1477 ondergrondse bases verspreid over de wereld, waarvan 129 in de Verenigde Staten.
Black Budget
Elke basis zou 17 miljard dollar of meer kosten. Hij zei dat het Black Budget, dat verborgen wordt gehouden voor de overheidsagentschappen en het publiek, een kwart van het Amerikaanse bbp opslokt.
Strijdkrachten uit verschillende landen zijn betrokken bij schermutselingen met buitenaardsen, aldus Schneider.
“De autoriteiten moeten de waarheid vertellen,” zei hij. “Als de waarheid niet volledig naar buiten kan komen, waarom hebben we dan zoiets als vrijheid?”
Mysterieuze lichtbol speelt spelletje met straaljagers. Deze luchtmachtgeneraal beschrijft bizarre confrontatie
Mysterieuze lichtbol speelt spelletje met straaljagers. Deze luchtmachtgeneraal beschrijft bizarre confrontatie
Voormalig commandant van Joegoslavische luchtmacht generaal Zvonimir Joerjevitsj ging tijdens een interview met het Russische persagentschap Sputnik in op zijn confrontatie met een UFO.
In 1975 was hij gestationeerd in Titograd (nu de Montenegrijnse hoofdstad Podgorica).
Begin januari dat jaar verscheen er een UFO in de omgeving waar hij op dat moment vloog. “Het object leek op een lichtbol en was heel goed zichtbaar,” vertelde hij.
Achtervolging
“Het was ongeveer 10 keer zo helder als de meeste heldere ster op dat moment,” vervolgde hij. “De kleur veranderde constant: wit, geel, rood, oranje en weer wit.”
“Het verscheen uit het niets en trok bewust de aandacht,” herinnerde Joerjevitsj zich. Het object verscheen iedere keer exact 50 minuten nadat hij was opgestegen.
Op 25 januari 1975 besloot hij de UFO te onderscheppen. Toen hij boven de stad Cetinje vloog zette hij de achtervolging in.
Andere piloten
Het object verdween echter al snel uit het zicht.
Dit spelletje duurde meerdere dagen en Joerjetvitsj hield het commandocentrum in Belgrado op de hoogte. Ook andere piloten zagen de mysterieuze UFO.
De generaal besloot met vier straaljagers op het object af te vliegen. Geen van de piloten wist bij de UFO in de buurt te komen.
Radar
Opvallend genoeg verscheen het object niet op de radar. Toen twee MiG-21’s aankwamen vanuit Belgrado kon de ‘vreemde gast’ wel op de radar worden gezien.
“Maar de supersnelle Migs slaagden er niet in om in de buurt van de UFO te komen,” klonk het.
Wat er in 1975 is gebeurd in de lucht boven Joegoslavië is nog altijd een mysterie. De lichtbol is op 12 februari 1975 voor het laatst gezien.
Schoolkinderen getuige van spectaculaire UFO-landing. In deze nieuwe docu vertellen ze wat ze hebben gezien
Schoolkinderen getuige van spectaculaire UFO-landing. In deze nieuwe docu vertellen ze wat ze hebben gezien
Op 16 september 1994 waren tientallen leerlingen van de basisschool Ariel in de hoofdstad van Zimbabwe getuige van de landing van een UFO.
Er wordt momenteel gewerkt aan een nieuwe film over deze bijzondere gebeurtenis,Ariel Phenomenongeheten.
“De kinderen waren getuige van een bovennatuurlijke gebeurtenis,” zegt de Canadese acteur Dan Akroyd in een nieuwe trailer. “Ze kunnen dit niet hebben verzonnen.”
Zeer serieus
“Dit is geen nieuw fenomeen,” licht hij toe. “We kijken hier al naar vanaf het moment dat in de Bijbel wordt gesproken over het wiel van Ezechiël.”
Lucht- en ruimtevaartdeskundige Coen Vermeeren zegt over dit incident:
“Wie dit dossier bestudeert kan geen andere conclusie trekken dan dat de kinderen een echte en één en dezelfde ervaring hadden, één die de nekharen overeind doet gaan, en één die we zeer serieus zouden moeten nemen. Maar dat doen we natuurlijk niet.”
Schotelvormige objecten
De kinderen zagen hoe drie tot vier schotelvormige objecten langs de hoogspanningsmasten vlogen en uiteindelijk landden in het hoge gras. De kinderen waren bang, maar ook nieuwsgierig.
De leerlingen vertelden aan Harvard-psychiater John E. Mack wat ze hadden gezien. Hij concludeerde na interviews met de getuigen dat ze het verhaal niet hadden verzonnen.
De kinderen beschreven de UFO die naast de school landde. Twee vreemde wezens zouden de leerlingen daarop hebben benaderd.
Wereldberoemd
BBC-correspondent Tim Leach interviewde de leerlingen gelijk na de gebeurtenis. De verhalen van de kinderen gaven hem een ‘nieuwe kijk op het leven en het universum’.
Emily Trim was één van de leerlingen. Ze was acht jaar oud toen het gebeurde. Haar school werd in één klap wereldberoemd toen de BBC over het incident berichtte.
“We hoorden een hoog geluid,” zei Emily. “We zagen een flits en een vaartuig. Twee wezens sprongen op en neer.”
Boodschappen
“Ze waren nieuwsgierig. Ze raakten de grond niet aan. Het leek alsof ze ons na probeerden te doen,” klonk het.
“Plotseling stonden ze voor ons,” ging ze verder. “We stonden aan de grond genageld. Telepathische berichten gingen door me heen, in de vorm van beelden.”
Glimmend pak
Guy, een andere leerling, zei: “Ik zag een kleine man gekleed in een zwart, glimmend pak.”
“Hij had zwart haar en zijn ogen waren groot en ovaalvormig. De mond was niet meer dan een spleet en de oren waren bijna niet te onderscheiden,” vertelde hij verder.
NASA wil catastrofale uitbarsting supervulkaan voorkomen. Ze hebben nu dit levensgevaarlijke plan bedacht
NASA wil catastrofale uitbarsting supervulkaan voorkomen. Ze hebben nu dit levensgevaarlijke plan bedacht
De supervulkaan onder Yellowstone National Park kan in het geval van een uitbarsting de gehele mensheid bedreigen.
NASA wil dat vermijden en heeft een plan bedacht om een uitbarsting te voorkomen. Maar het plan kan als het misgaat juist een nucleaire winter veroorzaken.
Op aarde bevinden zich zo’n 20 supervulkanen, die gemiddeld eens in de 100.000 jaar uitbarsten. Rond Yellowstone was 600.000 jaar geleden voor het laatst een catastrofale uitbarsting.
Onder controle houden
De NASA wil de magmakamer onder controle houden door de supervulkaan af te koelen. Dat kan met behulp van water.
Het alternatief is water onder hoge druk 10 kilometer diep in de magmakamer pompen. Dat zou een slordige drie miljard euro kosten.
Er zouden tienduizenden jaren voor nodig zijn om Yellowstone op deze manier helemaal af te kunnen koelen.
Uitbarsting uitlokken
Maar boren in een vulkaanschacht is niet zonder risico. Zo kun je namelijk juist een uitbarsting uitlokken.
In Yellowstone National Park werd eind juni het hoogste aantal aardbevingen in het natuurpark in de afgelopen jaren gemeten.
Experts zeggen dat zo’n aardbevingszwerm normaal is en dat er geen reden is om aan te nemen dat de supervulkaan binnenkort gaat uitbarsten.
Heel erg riskant
Toch wil de NASA het zekere voor het onzekere nemen. “De bedreiging van een supervulkaan is veel groter dan die van een asteroïde of komeet,” zei Brian Wilcox van NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Hij erkende tegenover de BBC dat het boren in de magmakamer heel erg riskant is. Het zou de kamer broos maken waardoor deze gemakkelijker zou kunnen barsten.
Daarnaast kunnen dan schadelijke gassen ontsnappen die zich in de magma bovenin de kamer bevinden.
Aardachtige planeet op slechts 16 lichtjaar ontdekt. Gaan we hier buitenaards leven vinden?
Aardachtige planeet op slechts 16 lichtjaar ontdekt. Gaan we hier buitenaards leven vinden?
Astrofysici van de Universiteit van Texas in Arlington denken op slechts 16 jaar lichtjaar afstand een aardachtige planeet te hebben ontdekt.
De planeet draait rond de ster Gliese 832 en moet één tot 15 keer zo zwaar zijn als de aarde, zo schrijven ze in The Astrophysical Journal.
“Dit is een belangrijke doorbraak die wijst op het bestaan van een potentiële nieuwe planeet rond een ster vlak bij de onze,” zeggen de onderzoekers in een persverklaring.
Sterke aanwijzingen
Ze hebben berekend dat de planeet een miljard jaar in de leefbare zone van een rode dwerg kan blijven bestaan.
Het is nog niet 100 procent zeker dat de planeet bestaat, maar de wetenschappers hebben wel sterke aanwijzingen gevonden.
Gliese 832 is een rode dwerg die half zo zwaar en groot als onze zon is. Rond de ster draaien een Jupiterachtige gasreus genaamd Gliese 832b en een superaarde die Gliese 832c is gedoopt.
Dampkring
Eerder dit jaar ontdekten sterrenkundigen voor het eerst een dampkring rond een aardachtige planeet.
De dampkring van de exoplaneet, GJ1132b geheten, zou aanwijzingen kunnen bevatten over leven op de planeet.
Meest interessante
Onlangs werd op amper 39 lichtjaar van onze planeet ook al een planeet gevnden waar buitenaards leven mogelijk zou kunnen zijn.
Die planeet cirkelt rond een rode dwerg in het sterrenbeeld Walvis. De exoplaneet bevindt zich in de bewoonbare zone, schreven de onderzoekers in Nature.
Ze spraken van de meest interessante exoplaneet die ze in de afgelopen 10 jaar hadden gezien. Het zou zelfs mogelijk zijn om er een signaal naartoe te sturen.
