Is THIS top-secret US base where crashed Roswell UFO and dead aliens are REALLY held?
Is THIS top-secret US base where crashed Roswell UFO and dead aliens are REALLY held?
EVER since a UFO or flying saucer allegedly crashed in the desert outside Roswell, New Mexico, more than 70 years ago, it has been claimed the remains were stored at one of two secretive US Air Force military bases.
One is top-secret Area 51 in Nevada, the other is the Wright-Patterson US Air Force test and research base at Dayton, Ohio.
The latter is actually where the US Air Force confirmed it took the remains to straight away, but some conspiracy theorists believe they were later moved to Area 51.
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 mysterious top-secret military base.
There have been many theories about what actually happened, but an official government probe into what happened concluded it was a secret spy balloon being tested.
Hoping to shed some light on the mystery is Raymond Szymanski, 65, from Dayton, Ohio, who spent 39 years working at Wright-Patterson until retiring in 2011.

ROSWELL UFO? Are alien remains held at the Wright-Patterson US Air Force base?
When he arrived at Wright-Patterson as a college co-op student, he was intrigued by a mentor who mentioned aliens and the base in the same sentence, reports Daytondailynews.com.
He has now written a book after spending years on a truth-seeking quest which took him from New Hampshire and Arizona to the UK, speaking to people who allege to have encountered UFOs.
He was a former Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate senior engineer at the base.
His book is called “50 Shades of Greys: Evidence of Extraterrestrial Visitation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Beyond.”
He said: "The book is actually a documentary for my quest for the truth.
“Were the stories I heard about Wright-Patterson true? What about some of the other famous places where UFO sightings were claimed?"
Were the stories I heard about Wright-Patterson true? What about some of the other famous places where UFO sightings were claimed?
Raymond Szymanski
Wright-Patterson was the centre of the US Air Force’s infamous past UFO investigations, including Project Blue Book in the 1960s.
He added: "Obviously, the Air Force took this seriously to an extent because they had collection and analysis of programs for nearly a quarter of a century, so certainly I took it seriously.”
The book also looks at an infamous UFO sighting near Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1965, and he even travelled to Rendelsham Forest in Suffolk, England, home of the 1980 Rendlesham UFO case, known as Britain's Roswell.
In the forward, he says: "And now the million dollar question Does Wright-Patterson actually house aliens and their artefacts?"
He never saw any evidence of aliens there during his time.
And, in an early disappointment for readers, he adds in the forward: "At this point of writing this book, I’m not sure.”
He is convinced that the wreckage of what crashed at Roswell was taken to Wright-Patterson, but that there is no evidence it was of extraterrestrial origin or housed any alien beings.
He added: "The Roswell alien thing is still a little squishy. But that’s different from me believing we’ve been visited.
"Yes, I’ve talked and interviewed (UFO) experiencers and I’m convinced that what they’ve had is a real encounter, and so somewhere along the line people have encountered alien entities on this planet.”
Speculation was so rife that 38 years after the Roswell incident, in January 1985, the air force issued a statement denying any aliens were held at Wright-Patterson.
It said: "Periodically, it is erroneously stated that the remains of extraterrestrial visitors are or have been stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
“There are not now, nor have there ever been, any extraterrestrial visitors or equipment on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.”
Conspiracy theorists took it to just mean they had been moved to Area 51.
Although Mr Szymanski is not convinced aliens landed at Roswell, he does believe he once saw a UFO.
He said: “For me, there’s no doubt because as I documented in the book, I saw a UFO in my own neighborhood from about 200 feet away and 75 feet in the air as it slipped into a low bank of clouds.
“That was kind of an up close and personal verification of what I pretty much was leaning towards anyway.
"And the people that I talk to about the cases and the evidence that they have is pretty much insurmountable, unassailable.”
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETDe bekende professor Stephen Hawking heeft opnieuw gewaarschuwd dat de dagen van onze planeet geteld zijn. Hij deed dat zondag tijdens een top van wetenschappers in de Chinese stad Peking. “Tegen 2600 zal de aarde in een grote vuurbal veranderen”, poneerde de wetenschapper. “De mensheid moet plannen maken om de planeet te verlaten, anders riskeren we uitgeroeid te worden.” Hij stelde meteen een revolutionair project voor dat onze redding zou kunnen betekenen.
Als oorzaak voor de ondergang van de aarde wees de prominente natuurkundige tijdens de Tencent WE Summit naar de toenemende wereldbevolking en de groeiende vraag naar energie. Volgens hem moet de mensheid naar de sterren kijken voor een uitweg. Alpha Centauri – het sterrenstelsel dat het dichtste bij dat van ons ligt – zou de beste kaarten hebben om een nieuwe bewoonbare planeet te vinden.
Het probleem is echter daar geraken. Alpha Centauri ligt op 4.37 lichtjaar van de aarde, omgerekend zo’n 41 biljoen (41.000.000.000.000) kilometer. Met de snelste ruimteraket die we nu hebben, zouden we er ongeveer 30.000 jaar over doen. Maar er is een alternatief volgens Hawking en daarvoor probeerde hij in Peking meteen financiers te vinden. (lees hieronder verder)
Hij schaarde zich immers achter het Breakthrough Starshot-project, samen met onder meer CEO van Facebook Mark Zuckerberg. Dat wil een ultrasnelle ruimtesonde ontwikkelen en die zou Alpha Centauri in amper 20 jaar (!) kunnen bereiken. “De nanocraft zou een zeil hebben en voortgestuwd worden door een lichtstraal”, argumenteert hij. “Dat zou 1.000 keer sneller gaan dan de ruimteschepen die we nu hebben. Mars zouden we op die manier kunnen bereiken in minder dan een uur en Pluto, aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel, in enkele dagen.” (lees hieronder verder)
Volgens topman Pete Worden van Breakthrough Starshot zouden we tegen het midden van deze eeuw de eerste foto’s moeten hebben van een bewoonbare planeet in een naburig sterrenstelsel. Het project is gestart met een budget van 100 miljoen dollar, maar er zou nog zeker tussen de 5 en 10 miljard nodig zijn om de missie te kunnen volbrengen.
Artificiële intelligentie
En het was niet de enige gelegenheid dat Hawking zich de afgelopen dagen liet horen. Op de 2017 Web Summit in de Portugese hoofdstad Lissabon waarschuwde de professor gisteren ook weer voor de gevaren van artificiële intelligentie (AI). “Het zou het beste of het slechtste kunnen worden dat de mensheid ooit overkwam”, zei hij. “AI kan helpen om ziekte en armoede de wereld uit te helpen, maar het bedreigt ook miljoenen banen door robots die de taak van mensen overnemen. We moeten op onze hoede zijn, de mogelijke gevaren identificeren en er op voorhand al oplossingen voor bedenken.”

Check out 20 of the strangest places on Earth
Check out 20 of the strangest places on Earth
Our planet is engulfed with mystery. From history to science, there’s always something that we struggle to explain on Earth.
Our planet has it all. From mysterious, strange and even scary places, to landscapes and regions that look almost as if they are the result of a Hollywood science fiction movie.
In this article, we take a look at 20 of the strangest places on our planet.
Enjoy.
1. Nazca Lines
Nazca lines, courtesy Simon E. Davies.
We can’t start a list of strange places on Earth without mentioning the famous Nazca Lines.
Visible (mostly) from the air, the enigmatic figures, symbols and strange shapes were etched by an ancient culture from Peru, thousands of years ago.
All sorts of theories have been proposed to explain the enigmatic set of lines, ranging from alien visitations to strange and mysterious whipping techniques.
A beach in China, more specifically in Panjin is covered with a type of seaweed that is called sueda which turns bright red during the fall, giving off a stunning look like the one above.
This one belongs to the mysterious-weird places on Earth.
Located around 150 kilometers from the coast of Alaska, there is an area scattered of whale ribs, jawbones, and vertebrae.
According to scientists, these bones date back to the 1400’s and were a place of worship for ancient cultures.
4. Bermuda Triangle
IMAGE PROVIDED BY CHANNEL 5
We had to include the Bermuda Triangle in this list. The Bermuda triangle is a notoriously large, freakish place in the Atlantic ocean covering a staggering 500,000 square miles.
According to reports, the area is home to an unidentified anomaly which causes ships and airplanes to disappear.
5. Lake Hillier
The Lake Hillier, Middle Island, Recherche Archipelago Nature Reserve, in Western Australia, is a saline lake notable for its pink color, April 2011. Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons
This weird-looking, yet beautiful lake is located in Western Australia. The lake retains its pinkish color all year long thanks to its high salt content and presence of salt-loving algae Dunaliella salina, and pink halobacteria.
Located in Utah, USA, this surreal, almost alien-like landscape of extremely soft sandstone extends a few miles across the desert terrain. It’s a very popular hiking trail in Utah.
Located in Northern Ireland, this enigmatic scenery is not the result of mankind. According to scientists, some 60 million years ago, a volcanic eruption left behind molten basalt. Once it solidified, it created these amazing cracks in the rock.
8. The Door to Hell

Located in Turkmenistan, the so-called door to hell was actually a gas field once, but the Soviets lit it on fire once, and it has been burning for over 40 years now.
9. The hand in the desert
Nope, it’s not an optical illusion. In the Middle of the Chilean desert, sculptor Mario Irarrázaba built this stunning, yet kind of freaky statue. The sculptor is known for illustrating loneliness and human suffering, which is precisely what this statue is thought to represent.
10. The Zone of Silence
One of the weirdest place’s on Earth.
The area situated on the 27th parallel north connects the Bermuda Triangle, The Pyramids of Giza and the Himalayas. Referred to as the Zone of silence, the mysterious strip of land located near the Bolsón de Mapimí in Durango, Mexico, overlapping the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve. It is believed that once inside it, clocks stop and radios cannot function properly.
11. Tesla Towers
Located in Russia, the “High Voltage Marx and Tesla Generators Research Facility,” belongs to the Russian Electrical Engineering Institute. It was created near the town of Istra, some 40 kilometers from Moscow.
12. Nan Madol
One of the lesser-known ancient cities on Earth, Nan Madol is an ancient city located off the coast of Micronesia.Nan Madol means “Space in between.” The entire city of Nan Madol appears to sit on top of a lagoon, connected by a number of different canals and massive stone walls.
13. Hundreds of ‘Gates’ in the Saudi Arabian desert
The gates come in a number of different shapes and sizes.
With the help of Satellite images, archaeologists have identified hundreds of groups of stone walls – called “gates” in the Saudi Arabian desert. Some of these “gates” are located next to a volcanic dome that at one time spewed out basaltic lava.
14. Vatnajokull Glacier Caves
Just look at those incredible shades of blue! Image Credit
Located in the in Vatnajokull glacier to the south-east Iceland, the caves literally grow and disappear. The Ice inside the Ice Caves literally shapeshifts, changing from what seem to be supermassive teeth protruding from the ice to massive waves trapped in suspended animation in a maze of countless interconnected chambers that show off the caves in a kaleidoscope of colors as light conditions change.
Located in Bolivia, Laguna Colorada is what you would call a bloody lake. A shallow Salt Lake (around 35 cm in depth) which contains borax islands, which are white in color and the real contrast with the reddish color of its waters caused apparently due to sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
16. Lake Abraham
In Canada there is an artificial lake that despite the fact its stunningly beautiful, it’s so dangerous that you’d really want to avoid it. The lake is filled with frozen bubbles that are filled with frozen pockets of methane which is highly flammable. Beautiful? Yeah. Dangerous? Definitely.
17. The Inga Stone
One of the most fascinating ancient sites in Brazil, the Inga stone is an ancient monument which according to experts includes countless symbols and a “Star Map” depicting the constellation of Orion. Experts refer to the Inga Stone as “an exceptional archeoastronomy monument, like no other in the world.”
18. A Boling River
You wouldn’t want to swim there,
Thought to have been only a myth, the Boiling River in the Amazon was proven to exist. Andres Ruzo, a scientist who, despite the fact that his colleagues believed finding the boiling river was impossible, managed to discover the mythical place in the Peruvian region of the Amazon jungle. The rivers indigenous name—Shanay-timpishka—means “boiled with the heat of the Sun.”
19. A 1.7-million-year-old manmade Bridge?
Located between Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka is a mysterious ‘structure’ that according to researchers could be a bridge created by mankind a staggering 1.7 million years ago.
20. 40,000 km-long Inca Road System
The ancient Inca were one of the most sophisticated ancient civilizations on Earth. But did you know they managed to create a massive, 40,000-kilometer-long road system? The massive road system is considered as the most advanced ancient highway on the surface of the planet giving the ancient empire access to over 3,000,000 square kilometers (1,200,000 sq mi) of territory.
We don’t know what’s causing the shadow on these clouds in this photo by Asthadi Setyawan in Indonesia.
| Eastern sky, about an hour after sunset, on October 29, 2017. Photo taken by Asthadi Setyawan at Selorejo River Dam, Malang, East Java, Indonesia.
It’s true that mountains sometimes cast shadows on clouds. See a mountain shadow and find an explanation from sky optics expert Les Cowley at his wonderful website Atmospheric Optics. But this photo – submitted to EarthSky by a photographer we’ve known for years, Asthadi Setyawan in East Java, Indonesia – is mysterious. We ran it past Les Cowley for an explanation, who wrote:
I’m unsure about this. I’ve had it in PhotoShop, and both the image and EXIF data ring genuine.
However, the lens setting was reasonably wide angle and a shadow so high from a westerly object cast onto clouds in the *eastern* sky is impossible 30 minutes after sunset. If the camera clock was accurate (?) then it was indeed 37 minutes after a tropical sunset, and the sky would be quite dark. Under those conditions the sun could not cast shadows even on stratospheric clouds.
??
In fact, Asthadi later commented, he has six different shots of this scene, all in the same direction and all with a shadow. He also confirmed:
…the sky was quite dark at that time.
There was a moon up that night, but it would have been high in the south-southeast at the time of the photo and so can’t be the shadow’s source. We also considered the town lights, but Les said that – given the fact that Asthadi was using a wide angle lens, placing the shadow edge fairly high in the sky – he couldn’t see see how surface lights could be the source. As Les commented:
A mystery!
A mystery to us, anyway. Maybe some of you have ideas. Beautiful photo, no matter what the explanation. Thank you, Asthadi and Les!
Bottom line: This photo looks like a mountain shadow on clouds, but we haven’t figured out the shadow’s source.
A Russian who has baffled scientists since birth claims he lived on Mars before he was reborn on Earth.
Boriska Kipriyanovich has confounded experts with his knowledge of outer space for nearly 20 years.
His parents claim that he was able to speak months after he was born and would often discuss subjects they had never taught him, such as alien civilisations.
As a toddler, he amazed his doctors by being able to read, write and draw by the age of two.

Boriska, from Volgograd, claims to have lived on a 'war-ravaged' Mars, which suffered from a nuclear catastrophe in the distant past
His mother, who herself is a doctor, said the first indication that he was special came a couple of weeks after birth, as he was able to hold his own head up unassisted.
Boriska, from Volgograd, claims to have lived on a 'war-ravaged' Mars, which suffered from a nuclear catastrophe in the distant past.
He says that Martians measuring about seven-feet tall still live undergound on the Red Planet and breathe in carbon dioxide.
According to Boriska, they are immortal and stop aging at an age of 35 years. They are also technologically advanced and capable of interstellar travel.
As a schoolboy, Boriska explained how the Martians had a strong connection to the ancient Egyptians on Earth and how he had once visited the planet as a pilot.
He said that life on Earth will change dramatically when the Great Sphinx monument in Giza is 'unlocked', adding that the opening mechanism is hidden behind an ear.

Ik leefde op Mars voordat ik op aarde werd geboren. Rus (20) stelt wetenschappers voor raadsel
Ik leefde op Mars voordat ik op aarde werd geboren. Rus (20) stelt wetenschappers voor raadsel
Een Russische man die wetenschappers al sinds zijn geboorte voor een raadsel stelt, claimt dat hij op Mars leefde voordat hij op aarde werd geboren.
Boriska Kiprijanovitsj verbaast experts al bijna 20 jaar met zijn kennis over de ruimte. Zijn ouders beweren dat hij enkele maanden na zijn geboorte al kon praten en vaak sprak over onderwerpen waar ze hem niets over hadden geleerd, zoals buitenaardse beschavingen.
Toen hij twee jaar oud was kon hij al lezen, schrijven en tekenen, schrijft de Britse Daily Mail.
Onder de grond
Boriska, die uit Wolgograd komt, claimt op het ‘door oorlog verscheurde’ Mars te hebben geleefd. Hij zei dat in een ver verleden een nucleaire ramp heeft plaatsgevonden op de rode planeet.
Marsbewoners zijn volgens hem ruim twee meter lang en zouden onder de grond leven. Ze zijn onsterfelijk en verouderen na hun 35e niet meer, aldus de Rus.
Grote Sfinx
Eerder zei hij dat de Marsbewoners een sterke verbinding hebben met de oude Egyptenaren op aarde en dat hij onze planeet eens heeft bezocht als piloot.
Hij zei dat het leven op aarde drastisch zal veranderen als de Grote Sfinx van Gizeh wordt ‘geopend’. Het mechanisme om het monument te openen zou achter één van de oren verborgen zitten.
Mysterieuze grottekeningen van verloren beschaving ontdekt. Dit is de zeer onverwachte plek waar ze werden gevonden
Mysterieuze grottekeningen van verloren beschaving ontdekt. Dit is de zeer onverwachte plek waar ze werden gevonden
In een aantal piepkleine grotten op een onbewoond eiland in het Caraïbisch gebied hebben archeologen mysterieuze rotstekeningen ontdekt.
De tekeningen zijn gemaakt door de Taíno, een verloren beschaving die is uitgeroeid door Christoffel Columbus.
Het volk maakte in de grotten een aantal tekeningen van mens-dier-hybrides en complexe geometrische patronen.
Poorten
“Voor de miljoenen indianen die voor komst van de Europeanen in het Caraïbisch gebied leefden waren grotten poorten naar het spirituele rijk,” zei onderzoeker Jago Cooper van het British Museum.
“De meeste pictogrammen bevinden zich in zeer nauwe ruimtes diep in de grotten,” zei Victor Serrano van de Universiteit van Leicester.
De archeologen moesten zich een weg banen door een netwerk van 70 zeer kleine grotten.
Groot belang
De grotten bevinden zich op het eiland Mona ten westen van Puerto Rico. Het is tegenwoordig een natuurgebied.
“Deze groepen mensen die Mona bezochten en er leefden zijn mijn voorouders en hun verhaal is van groot belang,” zei Serrano.
De meeste pictogrammen zijn gemaakt met behulp van stukken gereedschap, terwijl de tekeningen zijn vervaardigd met houtskool of gedroogde uitwerpselen van vleermuizen (guano).
Meerdere lagen
De rotsschilderingen bestaan uit meerdere lagen, zo hebben de archeologen ontdekt.
Hoewel het volk is uitgestorven zijn er veel woorden uit de taal van de Taíno die nu nog worden gebruikt, zoals orkaan, kano en tabak.
Ook namen voor voedsel zoals maïs, ananas, zoete aardappel, pinda en graan vonden hun weg in de wereldtalen.
INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE LAWS OF PHYSICS: ALIENS ARE TO ADVANCED TO BE DETECTED
INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE LAWS OF PHYSICS: ALIENS ARE TO ADVANCED TO BE DETECTED
Aliens may exist in a realm far beyond the abilities for any human to understand or comprehend.
Have you seen something you could not comprehend? Author and futurist Arthur C. Clark states, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" as his third law as to how we can be exposed to alien contact and our inability to distinguish it from some magical phenomena.
Maybe it’s something broader. Columbia University director Caleb Sharf suggests, "After all, if the cosmos holds other life, and if some of that life has evolved beyond our own waypoints of complexity and technology, we should be considering some very extreme possibilities…”, when he hints at the idea that possibly all that exists has a basis in some sort of alien intelligence incomprehensible to human senses.
There is too much unknown in the universe to dismiss such an idea and since it is something humans cannot even begin to understand, how could humans even disagree?
THE KARDASHEV SCALE - TYPE I, II, III, IV & V CIVILIZATION
INTERESTING FACTS
27 percent of the observable universe is made up of dark matter.
68 percent of the universe is made up of dark energy.
The universe didn’t start expanding at an accelerated rate until 5 billion years ago.
SOME IDEAS
From the outset, things mentioned by Clark and Sharf are just that, ideas. These ideas cannot necessarily be peer-reviewed, and they are definitely untestable. This is brainstorming at its finest to broaden the mindset that people have about the existence of aliens. Aliens can be physical beings much like humans or they can exist all around us, possibly on a molecular level. The talk of a higher complexity of alien existence is a conversation that must be had so that we don’t overlook all the different viable possibilities that exist out there.
CONCLUSION
Not much is known about the existence of aliens, and this could be for a reason. Aliens may exist in another dimension, in reality not of our own, or all around us in an indistinguishable manner. If aliens exist in a higher complexity than humans can understand then this may start to answer some of the questions we have about the universe itself. Hypothesis’s surrounding this idea is merely in the brainstorming phase and cannot even begin to be proven.
The talk about this is only meant to broaden the thinking that people have so that we can begin to push the dialogue in this direction. With the advancement of human technology maybe one day in the future, research on this topic can begin. Until then, humans are stuck with the unknown. The fact of the matter is, the answer is out there and no idea is too farfetched to be ignored.
The ink isn’t even dry on the news stories (ask your parents what it means) about the discovery of a massive, previously unknown void or empty area inside the Great Pyramid of Giza that was being called “the discovery of the century” when the century suddenly ended as a renowned Egyptian archeologist announced that this is no big deal since they’ve known about it for years. Why did this expert void the void? Was he annoyed that they would avoid asking him first or is he paranoid that he may soon be unemployed?
“The pyramid is full of voids and that does not mean there is a secret chamber or a new discovery.”
This is no ordinary Egyptologist. Zahi Hawass is the former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs and is involved with the ScanPyramids project, a research team using state-of-the-art non-invasive technology based on cosmic rays and muons (heavy electrons) to detect changes in the solid structure of the pyramid. The ScanPyramids team announced last week the discovery of a void (they avoided calling it a ‘chamber’ because they weren’t sure of its purpose and ‘chamber’ apparently gets pyramid fans all hot and bothered) above the Grand Gallery that was at least 100 feet long with a cross-section that made it similar in shape to the Grand Gallery. The team believed this was the first new discovery of anything inside the Great Pyramid since the 19th century.
Not so fast, said Zahi Hawass.
“[They] showed us their conclusions, and we informed them this is not a discovery.”
He told The Hindu Times that archeologists have known about this void for 25 years. The current head of the government’s antiquities council, Mustafa Waziri, gave the ScanPyramids team an archeological ass-chewing for jumping the gun with the announcement.
“The project has to proceed in a scientific way that follows the steps of scientific research and its discussion before publication.”
Let’s just say he was definitely annoyed by how the news of the void was deployed. That’s not to say this is not a big discovery, just not the discovery of the century. It appears the void has been closed since the Great Pyramid was built 4500 years ago, which would make anything inside of it, including the air itself, extremely significant. This also validates the new non-invasive technology, which can only get better.
As Shakespeare might say, the announcement last week about the void was “much ado about nothing.”

Weird Phenomenon In The Sky Appears Above Gilbert, Arizona
Weird Phenomenon In The Sky Appears Above Gilbert, Arizona
A weird colorful sky phenomenon has been filmed by Mrmbb333 on November 6, 2017 at 11.11am as he walked out of his home depot in Gilbert, Arizona.
The phenomenon is a so-called fire rainbow caused by sunlight reflecting off of ice crystals or maybe it is an earthquake light?
What to think about the effects of geo-engineering? Could it be a chembow around the sun which is the effect of chemicals like aluminium, barrium and strauntium components released by chemtrails in the air causing the unusual display in the sky?
You can see the strange phenomenon in the short un-edited video below.
(Note: The blue dot in the images and video is lens flare.)
A photograph of Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, taken by NASA’s Cassini probe.
Enceladus, a small moon of Saturn, hides a global ocean beneath its crust of ice.
Scientists could not explain how the ocean formed, however, nor how long it might have existed.
New 3D computer models hint a porous rocky core — kneaded by the gravity of Saturn — could provide enough heat to keep the ocean going for perhaps billions of years.
Based on the amount of time it took life to emerge on Earth, the study bodes well in the search for alien microbes.
Deep inside Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn some 890 million miles from Earth, one of our best chances of discovering alien life is heating up.
Enceladus is less than 1% the size of our moon yet hides an ocean containing up to 10% as much water as exists on Earth. What’s more, chemical studies of ice jets shooting out of Enceladus’ south pole suggest the moon’s deep, warm waters could be “a candy store” for microbes.
No one yet knows if aliens exist in this distant subsurface ocean. However, a study published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy suggest the moon’s hidden sea of water may be billions of years old — perhaps even as old as Earth’s own oceans.
“This could be good news for the astrobiological potential of Enceladus’s ocean,” Kevin Hand, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who wasn’t involved in the research, told Business Insider in an email. “We don’t know how long it takes for the origin of life to occur, but more time is probably better.”
Enceladus hides a warm, salty ocean that may be habitable to alien life
Scientists long suspected Enceladus might hide an ocean.
They reasoned radioactive elements could heat up the moon’s rocky core enough to melt surrounding ice. Or Saturn’s gravity — through a process similar to tides on Earth — could knead and heat Enceladus’s rocky core as it orbited the planet. Or perhaps both at once.
However, the existence of Enceladus’s ocean was mythical until the arrival of NASA’s Cassini spacecraft in 2004.
The nuclear-powered probe later flew through the moon’s icy jets, giving scientists a crude “taste” of the water’s other ingredients — including gases that microbes could feed on, salts, and tiny grains of silica rock from the seafloor.
Cassini also gathered more than a decade of data on the moon’s wobble before NASA purposefully destroyed the robot in Saturn’s thick atmosphere. A 2015 analysis of that wobble signalled the existence of a global subsurface ocean, further raising the chances for life’s foothold below the moon’s icy crust.
What researchers were less certain about is how long the ocean of Enceladus has existed.
On Earth — the only inhabited world we know of — it took nearly a billion years for life to emerge, then billions more to thrive and diversify into plants and animals. (Earth is 4.54 billion years old, and the oldest-known life are fossils of deep-sea hydrothermal vents dating back 3.77 billion years old.)
Knowing that a younger ocean would lower the chances for finding alien life at Enceladus in the future, a group of seven scientists set out to estimate its age.
New 3D models suggest the interior ocean of Enceladus might be billions of years old.
Measurements of Enceladus and its ocean suggest the moon’s core was about 100 times hotter than heat given off by decaying radioactive elements could explain, according to a European Space Agency press release.
The new study tackled the age of Enceladus’s ocean by taking everything scientists knew about the moon — primarily from Cassini data — and plugging it into 3D simulations. The model explored how much heat tidal friction could generate at the moon’s core, and where it’d go over millions of years.
When the Europe-based research group assumed the moon’s ion could generate enough heat to form a global ocean.
There was also enough warmth to keep the ocean liquid for tens of millions or perhaps billions of years, according to a NASA-JPL press release. All of the ocean’s water also cycled through Enceladus’ rocky core every 25-250 million years — a process that could bring life-giving chemicals to the surface.
“Long-lived, sustained geothermal activity on Enceladus’s seafloor could spell good news for geochemistry that gives way to biochemistry,” Hand said.
Future missions to Enceladus may be able to determine if hydrothermal vents exist on the moon’s seafloor, according to the ESA, further raising the moon’s profile as a place to seek out alien life.

EXPERTS DISCLOSE ALIEN SPECIES RESIDE IN THE UNIVERSE
EXPERTS DISCLOSE ALIEN SPECIES RESIDE IN THE UNIVERSE
Scientistsbelieve that as the universe is so enormous and, presumably, filled with an incalculable number of planets capable of supporting life, any of those extraterrestrial life forms may probably be more advanced technologically when compared to us. Quite possibly one of the reasons the inhabitants of these planets have not established contact with us is due to our lack of technological means and a minimal knowledge of the laws of the universe.
Is there any chance that this will change in the years to come?
This strong conviction in alien existence originates from an instinctual acknowledgment of the Universe as a magnificent sowing mechanism that had broaden to a large number of areas the gift of life and evolution.
The most prominent among the proponents of this belief is the brilliant inventor Elon Musk, the founder of the SpaceX program, who firmly believe in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and with his innovations which could boost the human desire to explore space and hopefully make interaction with our presently concealed intergalactic neighbors.
Elon Musk’s bold ambitiousness has been clarified in an article composed in the New York Times by Astrophysicist Adam Frank, entitled – Yes, There Have Been Aliens.
According to him, we’re not the initial generation of intelligent humanoids which have developed on the blue pale dot. The probability is thin for mankind to be the exclusively evolved creatures in this enormous of the universe, a 1 in 10 billion trillions to be more precise.
This give opportunity to presume that there are tremendous chances outsiders even now to be among us, understanding that our DNA may very well be blended with theirs, therefore have figured out how to consistently blend into the general public unnoticed.
This could mean that our star is not hosting its first generation of living beings which find a way how to beam radio signals into space. Adam Frank’s research is based upon the challenging and innovating mathematical formula serving as an instruction for any person enthusiastic about acquiring genuine evidence of extraterrestrial life in the universe.
It certainly could be challenging to decode Drake’s Equation by yourself, the scientific community is currently focusing on a method to place numbers on the table. The formula looks like this:
N = R * fp ne fl fi fe L
fp – the percentage of stars with planets
ne – the number of planets similar to Earth
fl – the number of Earth-like planets capable of supporting and maintaining life
fi – the percentage of celestial bodies with life that can further develop intelligent life forms
fe – the percentage of intelligent species able to detect otherworldly technology originating from another foreign civilization (i.e. ration transmissions)
L – the average number of earth-years during which advanced civilizations emit signals.
Multiplying the two components of the formula with the period of time that sophisticated civilizations take to communicate reveals the whole quantity of civilizations that have walked the exact lands we are exploring at present.
The complicated Drake Equation can only be solved after discovering accurate values for every one of its components. Scientists speculate this will be achievable in coming years, but nonetheless, warn those quantities are likely to be worthless if attempting to discover species with a potential beyond that of mankind constructs.
Astronomers already have found over 3,000 neighboring exoplanets, with roughly 20% of these planets within habitable areas. The latest NASA press release of 7 Earth-like planets just a couple of light years separate from us has increased expectations of discovering alien existence in the years to come.
The only thing we are able to do at this moment is waiting for the time when we’ll discover our cosmic neighbors, however, waiting for science to deliver the results will likely take just too much time of one’s life, so it’s better to seek for indications on our very own planet. After all, mysteries on Earth are surfacing every day, and there are various leads to pursue which might be quickly labeled as otherworldly.
SOUNDS OF ALIEN LIFE ON JUPITER RECORDED BY NASA’S JUNO SPACECRAFT
SOUNDS OF ALIEN LIFE ON JUPITER RECORDED BY NASA’S JUNO SPACECRAFT
Horrendous sounds of life of an unknown origin are being recorded on Jupiter by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Further examination of the footage suggests they are originated by some unknown obscure colossal creatures living on the planet.
Scientific circles awaited with anticipation the moment when after 5 years of intergalactic travel, Juno finally arrived at its destination – Jupiter and after attaining a stable orbit of the planet, managed to collect and send back to Earth information, of inestimable significance, about Jupiter’s atmosphere, magnetic field, and weather phenomena.
On June 24, Juno crossed the perimeter of Jupiter’s magnetic field and that’s when the WAVES instrument aboard the spacecraft began getting a progression of entrancing radio signals that sound extraordinary when moved down into the discernible range.
According to sources in NASA, researchers can not yet affirm with certainty precisely what is going on under the billowing clouds of Jupiter’s atmosphere yet, as reported by them, a booming blast that is heard on the recording is caused by specific phenomena called astrophysical bow shock. It is the consequence of the interaction between a celestial object’s magnetic field and the atmospheric plasma flows that are hindered and warmed by the magnetic field they encounter giving rise to the shocking, extraordinary sounds.
From the little data we have about Jupiter, we know it is impossible that carbon-based life forms could survive on its surface to survive types of life. But this does not exclude the possibility of a different type of life form since exobiologists believe exotic life forms could exist in Jupiter’s thick, 5,000 mile deep atmosphere, which is for the most part hydrogen, but it does additionally contain amounts of ammonia, methane and water. These are the very gasses that were utilized as a part of the renowned Miller-Urey experiment that showed how the fundamental building blocks of life could be created by interactions between gasses in a planet’s environment.
Artist’s rendition of possible life forms on a gas giant
The Miller-Urey experiment was relatively easy, water vapor was placed in a flask comprising of hydrogen gas, methane, and ammonia. Miller transferred the electronic pulse through the compound and, after only one week of zapping the gas, the substance of the flask had already revealed remnants of organic molecules and amino acids, the precursors of life. Jupiter possesses the gases and also has lightning storms to carry out its own experiments
The possibility of Jupiter to sustain life forms has frequently encouraged many speculations by numerous writers and scholars. In the 1971 science fiction novella,” A Meeting with Medusa”, writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke theorizes about the capability of Jupiter not only to possess a minuscule air plankton life forms but also huge, jellyfish-like organisms, held afloat by hydrogen-filled compartments, these kind of rightly- named beasts would likely consume the minuscule types similar to the filter-feeders floating in the Earth’s oceans.
One of the most prominent scientists like Carl Sagan consents with the vast majority of the hypotheses about the presence of Jupiter’s life forms. Certainly, the Juno spacecraft recording, subsequently, after it passed Jupiter’s magnetopause emerge as exceptionally fascinating. Nevertheless, that is certainly not what occurs to magnet-women later in life, it’s the area around a planet where it features a magnetic field more powerful compared to that of the star it’s orbiting. Fundamentally, the planet’s home turf.
Is it conceivable that these sounds originated from particular life shapes on the surface of Jupiter?
Could possibly be a consequence of an intelligent life form communication?
THE CIA DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CONFIRMS EXTRATERRESTRIAL ACTIVITY ON OUR PLANET
THE CIA DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CONFIRMS EXTRATERRESTRIAL ACTIVITY ON OUR PLANET
Having a glimpse into the latest declassified UFO files and high ranking government officials statements, we are witnessing how UFO phenomenon all of a sudden becomes a reality.
It is difficult to envision that we are alone in this enormous universe, particularly after high ranked officials recently showed up in broad daylight with proclamations that we are not the only one in this boundless universe, also that we already have effectively established contact with extraterrestrial species.
Dimitri Medvedev, the Russian prime minister, in 2012 made an announcement shortly after his interview that was broadcast live on 5 tv stations. The Russian ex-president uncovered to a journalist that every leader of the Kremlin is given two envelopes with classified data in regards to the visit of extraterrestrial creatures.
It didn’t take long for his words to be shared in mass across all the media and social networks which caused great interest in the general public. After all, he is a high-level official that publicly acknowledged the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations during the presidential mandate.
In an interview for Sputnik, in 1980 a famous Russian astronaut Yevgheni Krunov gave a statement that he wont deny the existence of UFOs, they are more than just optical illusions, even some of their characteristics, such as they are something other than optical deceptions, even some of their qualities, for example, the quick difference in flight course at a 90 degree edge offers us a considerable measure of something worth mulling over.
Another observer of this various bizarre and baffling phenomena is another Russian space explorer, Ghenadie Strekalov. He portrayed a marvel saw on September 28, 1980, during his day shift on the Mir space station: a flying dish above the Earth, at an altitude of 20-30 km, around Newfoundland. The atmosphere was clear and the permeability was flawless, so he could look for around 10 seconds how the circle was moving delightful distinctive shades, and afterward vanishing in the space.
As indicated by publicly released data releases, in the time of 1952 alone have been examined and affirmed 100 UFO phenomena with no intelligent clarification, that were enlisted and named in the CIA chronicles as “inexplicable”.
According the report:“Almost 100 believable confessions remain inexplicable at the moment. However, the CIA monitoring will continue and no reports will be made public.”
In the latest batch of unclassified CIA documents, the officials indicated that records don’t contain any data in regards to crushed UFOs, experiences or kidnappings, however, they are certain people, in general, will find them to a great degree captivating:
“We have decided to release to publicity a few files that even the most skeptical individuals will find appealing. Five of these files are fit for “X Files” agent Fox Mulder, but the other 5 files are perfect for his skeptical partner, agent Dana Scully.”
The declassification of these 10 records corresponds with the relaunch of the “X Files”, nonetheless, conspiracy theorists trust that CIA’s decision to make these reports open does not complement the relaunch of the new X Files series, yet rather are an endeavor to warm-up the audience for later divulgences.
“Apparently, the CIA used the rebirth of the X Files franchise to remind the people that the agency has agents investigating these cases.”, proclaims Stephen Basset, official chief of Paradigm Research Group, an association that militates at the White House all together for the legislature of the United States to concede that extraterrestrials do exist.
However, it might take some time for this world as it is to acknowledge the UFO reality, and hope remains that in the days to come, the government will soon pour the beans relating the presence of extraterrestrials.
Little is known about the phenomenon, which can sometimes be explained by exploding generators or power systems. Another explanation claims that the tectonic movement of rocks including quartz, generates a piezoelectric field which produces flashes of light.
A 2014 study said the stress of the tectonic plates can break apart pairs of negatively-charged oxygen atoms, pushing them towards the Earth’s surface and forming a light-emitting plasma when it combines with air.
A tsunami warning is in place following Friday’s earthquake, the strongest in a century. At least five people are reported dead with the number expected to rise.
Met dit instrument gaan we uitzoeken of de maan Enceladus leefbaar is
Met dit instrument gaan we uitzoeken of de maan Enceladus leefbaar is

NASA heeft een plan!
Saturnus’ maan Enceladus spreekt tot de verbeelding. Er zijn namelijk sterke aanwijzingen dat onder de dikke ijslaag die de maan rijk is, een vloeibare oceaan te vinden is. Zou het in die oceaan – net als in de oceanen op aarde – wemelen van het leven?
Instrument Onderzoekers staan te popelen om dat uit te zoeken. Maar dat valt natuurlijk nog niet mee. Want we hebben het hier over een oceaan die zich onder een kilometersdikke laag ijs bevindt. Maar NASA is niet voor één gat te vangen en komt nu met een instrument op de proppen waarmee we mogelijk een schat aan informatie over die ondergrondse oceaan kunnen verzamelen.
SELFI Het instrument wordt kortweg SELFI genoemd. Dat staat voor Submillimeter Enceladus Life Fundamentels Instrument. Het instrument maakt handig gebruik van de pakweg honderd geisers die op Enceladus te vinden zijn en die – via enorme scheuren in de ijskap – continu waterdamp, CO2, methaan en andere gassen de lucht in slingeren. “We kunnen deze pluimen scannen om te zien wat er uit Enceladus komt zetten,” vertelt onderzoeker Gordon Chin. “Waterdamp en andere moleculen kunnen iets onthullen over de chemie van de oceaan.”
Onder de dikke ijskap van Enceladus bevindt zich mogelijk een oceaan. Mogelijk bevinden zich op de bodem van de oceaan hydrothermale bronnen die waterstofgas voortbrengen (en waar op aarde nogal wat leven rond te vinden is). De aanwezigheid van zulke bronnen zou bevestigd kunnen worden door de pluimen die de geisers op de maan genereren, te bestuderen.
Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Southwest Research Institute.
Radiostations SELFI zou dat alles vanaf een afstandje kunnen doen. “Submillimetergolflengtes bieden ons een manier om te meten hoeveel verschillende moleculen er in een koud gas zitten,” vertelt Chin. “Moleculen zoals water en koolstofmonoxide en anderen zijn een soort kleine radiostations die op specifieke frequenties uitzenden en laten weten “hé, ik ben water, ik ben koolstofmonoxide”. Onderzoeker Paul Racette voegt toe: “De spectrale lijnen zijn zo duidelijk dat we chemische stoffen kunnen identificeren en kwantificeren zonder dat daarbij verwarring kan ontstaan.”
Dertien moleculen SELFI zou in staat zijn om dertien soorten moleculen tegelijkertijd te detecteren en analyseren. Je moet dan onder meer denken aan water, maar ook methanol, ozon, waterstofperoxide, zwaveldioxide en natriumchloride (het stofje dat de oceanen op aarde zout maakt).
Door de gegevens die SELFI verzamelt, te extrapoleren kunnen onderzoekers een beeld krijgen van hoe de oceaan onder Enceladus’ ijskap in elkaar steekt en of in die oceaan bijvoorbeeld ook hydrothermale bronnen te vinden zijn. En op basis daarvan kan dan weer meer gezegd worden over de leefbaarheid van de oceaan.µ
Planetoïden vallen ongevraagd en ongeweigerd deze foto van Hubble binnen
Planetoïden vallen ongevraagd en ongeweigerd deze foto van Hubble binnen

Een kosmische fotobom!
Op de diepe opnames van ruimtetelescoop Hubble zijn duizenden sterrenstelsels te zien. Sommige van die sterrenstelsels zijn gigantisch (zoals de gele elliptische sterrenstelsels en de blauwe spiraalstelsels). Anderen staan weer ontzettend ver weg (de rode sterrenstelsels).
Strepen Maar wat nog veel meer in het oog springt, zijn natuurlijk de opvallende strepen die dwars over de opname lopen. Het zijn planetoïden die gemiddeld zo’n 257 miljoen kilometer van de aarde verwijderd zijn.
De sporen die de planetoïden achterlaten, lijken iets af te buigen. Het is het resultaat van een verschijnsel dat parallax wordt genoemd. Terwijl Hubble rond de aarde draait, lijkt de planetoíde ten opzichte van de op veel grotere afstand staande sterren en sterrenstelsels op de achtergrond langs een boogje te bewegen. Het effect is een beetje vergelijkbaar met het effect dat je ziet vanuit een bewegende auto, waarbij bomen langs de kant van de weg veel sneller lijken te bewegen dan de objecten op grotere afstand erachter. Daarnaast dragen ook de beweging van de aarde rond de zon en de bewegingen van de planetoïden zelf nog bij aan het feit dat deze planetoïden door de ruimte lijken te zwalken.

Sporen De planetoïden laten niet één lang spoor achter, maar duiken herhaaldelijk op. Dat komt doordat deze Hubble-foto (boven) is opgebouwd uit meerdere kiekjes van Hubble. De twintig ‘sporen’ van planetoïden die je hier ziet, zijn veroorzaakt door zeven unieke objecten. Twee daarvan waren ons reeds bekend. De overige vijf reflecteerden te weinig licht om eerder ontdekt te kunnen worden.
Hieronder zie je nog een fotobom. Tijdens het maken van deze diepe opname, vielen vijf planetoïden (samen goed voor zo’n 22 sporen) de foto binnen. Geen van deze planetoïden waren astronomen bekend.
Hier vereeuwigde Hubble het cluster Abell 370 en dus ook een handjevol planetoïden!

En zo kunnen zelfs op diepe opnamen van Hubble heel dicht bij huis dus nog nieuwe dingen worden ontdekt!
'Planeet X wordt waarschijnlijk binnen een paar jaar gevonden'
'Planeet X wordt waarschijnlijk binnen een paar jaar gevonden'
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Astronoom Konstantin Batygin weet het vrijwel zeker: Planeet X bestaat. En hij is vastbesloten ‘m op te sporen.
Het was begin 2016 wereldnieuws. Astronomen Konstantin Batygin en Mike Brown hadden sterke aanwijzingen gevonden voor het bestaan van een negende planeet in ons zonnestelsel. De planeet zou tien keer groter zijn dan de aarde, 500 keer zwaarder zijn dan Pluto en een slordige 90 miljard kilometer van de zon verwijderd zijn. Batygin en Brown leidden het bestaan van de planeet af uit het effect dat deze lijkt te hebben op de banen van een aantal Kuipergordelobjecten. De Kuipergordelobjecten in kwestie hebben allemaal elliptische banen, maar volgen dezelfde richting in de fysieke ruimte. “De kans dat dit toeval is, is slechts 0,007 procent,” vertelde Brown in 2016. “Kortom: het kán haast geen toeval zijn. Er moet iets zijn dat de koers van deze objecten bepaalt.” En dat ‘iets’ is volgens Batygin en Brown dus Planeet X.
Opeenstapeling van bewijs Inmiddels zijn we bijna twee jaar verder en is Planeet X nog altijd een vermoeden: het is astronomen namelijk nog niet gelukt om de planeet te spotten. Wél stapelt het bewijs – dat NASA recent nog ‘overtuigend’ noemde – voor het bestaan van de planeet zich op.
Het maakte ons nieuwsgierig. Want hoe staat het nu eigenlijk met die zoektocht naar Planeet X? Zit er een beetje schot in? En is de verwachting nog steeds dat we de planeet binnen een paar jaar gaan vinden? We zochten contact met de man die momenteel jacht maakt op Planeet X en ons er dus alles over kan vertellen: Konstantin Batygin. En hij had toch wel voorzichtig goed nieuws. “De zoektocht gaat echt heel goed,” Een updatevertelt hij aan Scientias.nl. “We hadden een beetje een trage start, maar dit jaar gaat het tot op heden geweldig. Ik heb eind september samen met Mike (Brown, red.) een weekje doorgebracht op de top van Maunt Kea en in december en februari gaan we weer terug.” Op dat topje van Maunt Kea bevindt zich de Subaru-telescoop: het beste instrument dat een astronoom op zoek naar een planeet in een donker hoekje van het zonnestelsel zich kan wensen. “Subaru is uniek, omdat deze een groot gezichtsveld heeft – zodat we dus een groot deel van het heelal in één keer kunnen bekijken – én ook gevoelig genoeg is om Planeet X (die buitengewoon donker is) te vinden.”
Planeet X doet er mogelijk wel 20.000 jaar over om een rondje rond de zon te voltooien!
Afbeelding: Caltech / R. Hurt (IPAC).
2021 Inmiddels hebben Batygin en Brown al zo’n 20% van het stukje heelal waarin ze planeet X verwachten, afgespeurd. Dus er zit zeker schot in. Brown liet begin 2016 aan Scientias.nl weten te verwachten dat Planeet X binnen een jaar of vijf wel ontdekt zou worden. En dat lijkt nog steeds haalbaar, zo vertelt Batygin. “Je weet het nooit zeker, natuurlijk. Als het elke keer als we willen observeren slecht weer is, komen we bijvoorbeeld in de problemen. Maar het lijkt waarschijnlijk dat we de planeet tegen 2021 wel gevonden hebben.” In principe zouden we de planeet zelfs dit jaar nog kunnen spotten. Batygin schat de kans dat het bewijs voor het bestaan van de planeet zich ophoudt in de data die eind september verzameld is, op zo’n 10 tot 15 procent.
“IK ZIE EERLIJK GEZEGD GEEN MANIER MEER OM HET ZONNESTELSEL ZONDER EEN PLANEET X TE VERKLAREN”
De twijfel voorbij Ervan uitgaande dat de planeet echt bestaat, natuurlijk. Want dat is – zolang we de planeet niet direct spotten – toch altijd nog onzeker. Maar Batygin is die twijfel eigenlijk voorbij, zo vertelt hij. “Op dit punt ben ik vrijwel zeker dat er een Planeet X is.” Hij verwijst hierbij naar een recent paper waarin hij samen met collega Alessandro Morbidelli de interpretatie van alle verzamelde data die op het bestaan van Planeet X wijzen, van een update heeft voorzien. “Nu we de data beter begrijpen, zie ik eerlijk gezegd geen manier meer om het zonnestelsel zonder een Planeet X te verklaren.”
Zoals gezegd zijn er verschillende bewijsstukken voor het bestaan van deze negende planeet. Zo zijn er de Kuipergordelobjecten die Batygin en Brown in 2016 aanwezen. Maar ook het feit dat het omloopvlak van de acht bekende planeten in ons zonnestelsel ietsje schuin staat ten opzichte van de evenaar van de zon lijkt op het bestaan van Planeet X te wijzen. Het sterkste bewijsstuk is volgens Batygin echter het feit dat de aanwezigheid van Planeet X voorspelt dat er een groepje hemellichamen moet zijn met een baanvlak dat haaks op dat van de andere planeten in het zonnestelsel staat. “En zo’n populatie kleine hemellichamen zien we precies op de plek waar deze zou moeten zijn.”
Gewoontjes Het lijkt dus een kwestie van tijd voor we Planeet X spotten. En die ontdekking zal een hoop veranderen, denkt Batygin. Zo wordt het zonnestelsel in zekere zin groter. Nu gaat het wanneer we over het zonnestelsel spreken vaak over de ruimte waarin de planeten cirkelen. En die ruimte zal met de ontdekking van Planeet X flink groter worden: de planeet is naar schatting zo’n twintig keer verder verwijderd van de zon dan de huidige buitenste planeet in ons zonnestelsel, Neptunus. Daarnaast zal de ontdekking ervoor zorgen dat ons zonnestelsel wat ‘gewoontjes’ wordt. Want opeens bezit het dan een superaarde: “over het algemeen genomen het type planeet dat het meest voorkomt”.
Mocht Planeet X ergens in de komende jaren ontdekt worden, dan wacht Batygin en collega’s behalve een hoop aandacht van de media ook een enorme hoop werk. Want opeens is er dan een negende planeet om verder te verkennen. Eén van de eerste onderzoeksvragen die dan aan bod zullen komen, is ongetwijfeld de vraag waar deze planeet geboren is. Op de huidige plek, op zo’n grote afstand van de zon? Dat lijkt niet zo aannemelijk. Stond ‘ie dan eerst dichter bij de zon en is ‘ie door andere planeten weggetrapt? Of hoorde de planeet eigenlijk bij een andere ster en heeft onze zon deze ‘gestolen’? Batygin verwacht dat we vrij kort na de ontdekking van de planeet ook de oorsprong ervan wel helder kunnen krijgen. “Er zal flink wat gemodelleerd moeten worden, maar ik vermoed dat het snel kan gaan.” Zodra de baan van de planeet in kaart is gebracht, kan immers met simulaties worden nagegaan wat deze allemaal heeft meegemaakt.
Terwijl Brown en Batygin jagen op de negende planeet in ons zonnestelsel dromen anderen al van de ontdekking van nog meer planeten. Recent onderzoek suggereert nu reeds dat er naast Planeet X ook nog een tiende planeet op ontdekking wacht. Batygin heeft er niet echt een mening over “maar het bewijs is veelbelovend”. Hij zal er in ieder geval niet gek van opkijken als er op termijn nog meer planeten in de achterhoede van het zonnestelsel worden gevonden. “Het zonnestelsel is groot. Maar op dit moment hebben we echter alleen heel sterk bewijs voor Planeet X. Het is opwindend om te zien wat de toekomst gaat brengen.”
