SUPER MOON OF 2017 DAZZLED STARGAZERS IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
SUPER MOON OF 2017 DAZZLED STARGAZERS IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
The rare one of a kind lunar spectacle hypnotized stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts. The Moon appeared 14 times larger and 30 times brighter than usual. Moon was at it's closest approach to the earth as possible in it's elliptical orbit around earth. Researchers claims the increased gravitational force on Earth from Moon could trigger major earthquake in land or ocean at or around the time of full moon as happened in the past
There is a positive correlation between super moon and catastrophic earthquakes occurred in Earth's history. However most scientist are of opinion that the risk of tectonic plate movement is negligible.
Seafaring vessels remain on alert as sea level is expected to rise 50cms when astronomical forces align. The difference between high tide and low tide will be significant. Environmental agency is monitoring the situation closely alongside metrological office and local authorities and will issue flood alert and warnings if required.
The next super moon will occur in November of 2034.
2 MORE WHISTLEBLOWERS DIVULGE INVOLVEMENT IN SECRET SPACE PROGRAM
2 MORE WHISTLEBLOWERS DIVULGE INVOLVEMENT IN SECRET SPACE PROGRAM
According to a new report by an insider claiming to have worked with several US secret space programs, the complexity of the programs, technologies, and their dynamic interrelationships is far greater and more complex than anything previously revealed.
SPACE BATTLE TAKING PLACE RIGHT ABOVE OUR HEADS?
20 and Back is the standard phrase use to describe the tour of duty undergone by recruits into the SSP (Secret Space Program). The term 20 and back refers to the 20 year commitment that these military men and women make when they sign up to go into space — or the amount of time they are forced to serve as slaves.
There are many indications that there really is a Secret Space Program, though some of these confirmations seem too extraordinary to be true.
There are even those who say that there is a space battle taking place right above our heads, as can be seen in the article below. But maybe believing that is pushing the limits of imagination a little too much ... or not:
PROOF THE SOLAR WARDEN SECRET SPACE PROJECT IS REAL
THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAMS SHOCKING TRUE PURPOSE REVEALED
Recently A TR-3B UFO type of aircraft was filmed in Saint Petersburg in Russia.The object was moving at an extremely low spe
Any know aircraft flying at this speed would fall to the ground. This object was defying any known laws of gravity as it was flying through the skies of Sint Petersburg.
WATCH THE FOOTAGE FOR YOURSELF:
At a sudden point in time, one of the main propulsion engines fails, and the object is forced to continue its journey without one of its main thrusting units.
The object manages to stay afloat and heads towards its main trajectory... This object shows a lot of similarities of a TR-3B. This mysterious aircraft has been spotted all over the world.
Is this object of this world? It continues to famous the world with its impossible moves, and it's mysterious lights. The T3-3B continues to amaze the world, but its technology could be already influencing it's goal... earth...
ERIDU, THE FIRST CITY ON EARTH WHERE THE SUMERIAN KINGS
ERIDU, THE FIRST CITY ON EARTH WHERE THE SUMERIAN KINGS "FROM HEAVEN" RULED
For the Sumerians Eridu was an important place because it was there where royalty "descended from heaven" as they claim and was the first settlement on which a centralized state was instituted.
Most likely, in Sumerian times, the city would be linked to the estuary by means of canals and according to the Babylonian epics, it would have been the first city created in the world:
NO ROW HAS BEEN GROWN
NO TREE WAS CREATED
NOT A HOUSE HAS BEEN MADE
NO CITY MADE
AND THE LANDS WERE SEA
WHEN ERIDU WAS CREATED.
ERIDU WAS THE SOUTHERNMOST CITY OF THE CONGLOMERATE OF MESOPOTAMIA AND IMPORTANT CENTER OF WORSHIP TO THE WATER GOD, ENKI. ACCORDING TO THE SUMERIAN TRADITION ERIDU WAS THE OLDEST OF THE CITIES OF MESOPOTAMIA, IN WHOSE LOCATION THE GOD MARDUK HAD CREATED THE WORLD. THE ANTIQUITY OF THE CITY WAS DEMONSTRATED BY THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS THROUGHOUT CENTURY XX, HAVING BEEN DATED THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE EXCAVATION AROUND THE 4900 A. C., AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD OF EL OBEID.
Tired of politicians that act like robots? Do you feel you’d be better served by robots that act like politicians? Or better yet, robots that use artificial intelligence instead of whatever politicians these days are using for brains?
“There is a lot of bias in the ‘analogue’ practice of politics right now. There seems to be so much existing bias that countries around the world seem unable to address fundamental and multiple complex issues like climate change and equality.”
That’s the kind of dystopian thinking that inspired New Zealand entrepreneur Nick Gerritsen to develop SAM, the world’s first artificial intelligence politician. According to its (no gender or sexual-orientation politics to deal with here) website, SAM is “driven by the desire to close the gap between what voters want and what politicians promise, and what they actually achieve.” Sounding very much like a flesh-and-blood pol, SAM also has these things to say:
“I make decisions based on both facts and opinions, but I will never knowingly tell a lie, or misrepresent information.”
And …
“I will change over time to reflect the issues that the people of New Zealand care about most. My positions will evolve as more of you add your voice, to better reflect the views of New Zealanders.”
I want your vote!
SAM’s creator, Nick Gerritsen, calls himself “a business catalyst, investor and impact entrepreneur operating within an extensive network in the global innovation and capital markets.” Now THAT sounds more like a politician but he’s actually an intellectual properties lawyer and the founder of Crispstart, a startup angel that is currently involved with projects involving renewable energy, clean technology and the internet. If SAM is anything like its creator, it sounds like it leans left, right?
“We’ve seen in the US, UK, and Spain recently […] that politicians may be wildly out of touch with what people actually think and want. Perhaps it’s time to see whether technology can produce better results for the people than politicians. The technology we propose would be better than traditional polling because it would be like having a continuous conversation – and it could give the ‘silent majority’ a voice.”
In an interview with Tech in Asia, Gerritsen sounds like the populist people want instead of the ones they get. But what about SAM? Unfortunately, its platform is not as advanced as Gerritsen’s but at least it admits it and is working on it. Potential voters and possible future constituents can talk to and question SAM via Facebook Messenger. This interaction, along with a survey on its Facebook page, feeds and develops SAM’s artificial intelligence algorithm.
Is voting for a robot any better than this?
Is this a novelty or can SAM really run for political office in New Zealand’s 2020 elections? Unfortunately, it’s not legal … yet. However, it could tell real politicians what the public really wants.
Given the chance, would you vote for SAM? If elected, would you support SAM’s policies even if you disagreed with them? If SAM violated the constitution, would you impeach it?
Mars is looking more habitable all the time. Well you know, aside from the lethal atmosphere. And the cosmic radiation Martian colonists would be subjected to along the way. And the general soul-crushing inhospitality of the planet itself. Aside from all that, though, Mars would make a pretty sweet new place for us to build all the great stuff we have on Earth: endless parking lots, landfills full of old iPhones, privately-owned prisons, and of course Starbucks franchises. Lots of Starbucks franchises. Is the colonization of Mars realistically possible in our lifetime, though?
Home sweet home.
Getting there isn’t the problem; we already have the rocket technology to get us well past Mars. The question lies in the ability of colonists to actually sustain themselves once safely on the Martian surface. Luckily, several studies published over the past year have given hope to the starry-eyed visionarieswho believe we are on the verge of being able to colonize the Red Planet. First, an experiment concluded that potatoes can grow in simulated Martian soil under high-pressure, low-oxygen conditions, lending hope that the starchy staple crop could be grown by Mars colonists.
Mars might not have oxygen, but it’s got a whole lotta dirt.
Another study by a team of Dutch scientists found that crops grown in (simulated) Martian soil are safe to eat. Now, a new crowdfunded study by those same scientists at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands claims that earthworms can survive and even reproduce in Martian soil. If confirmed, this could mean that farming on Mars could indeed be a reality.
Researcher Wieger Wamelink inspects crops grown in simulated Martian soil.
Earthworms provide vital services for soil, helping to aerate soil and break down decaying plant matter into nutrients. While the experiment found that the worms can survive in the soil, worms on Mars will still need to be shielded from the cold and the low atmospheric pressure. Another complicating factor is that due to the lack of wind and water on Mars, grains of Martian soil are much sharper than those on Earth and can harm the worms’ bodies and digestive tracts. These problems could be overcome with proper treatment of the soil and enclosures, however. If these studies are confirmed and Martian soil is found to be capable of actually growing crops and sustaining microbes and worms, the possibility of extending humankind to the fourth rock from the Sun seems just a little closer than it did before. Baby steps, earthlings. Baby steps.
Maar liefst drie supermanen in aantocht. Bekijk de helderste supermaan van 2017 vannacht!
Maar liefst drie supermanen in aantocht. Bekijk de helderste supermaan van 2017 vannacht!
De maan staat op het punt zijn mooiste show van het jaar te geven. In de nacht van 3 december kun je de enige volle supermaan van dit jaar te zien.
Een supermaan is een volle maan die zich voordoet op het moment dat de maan bijzonder dicht bij de aarde staat.
Dit is eigenlijk de vierde supermaan dit jaar, maar het is de enige die met het blote oog te zien is. De andere drie supermanen in 2017 vonden plaats toen de maan totaal verduisterd was.
Veel groter en helderder
Het is vanmiddag om 16.47 uur officieel volle maan. Vannacht lijkt hij zo’n zeven procent groter en 16 procent helderder dan normaal.
De supermaan is het best te zien op het moment dat de volle maan opkomt, vlak nadat de zon is ondergegaan.
Dan zorgt de zogeheten maanillusie ervoor dat de supermaan veel groter en helderder lijkt dan wanneer hij hoog aan de hemel staat.
Nog twee supermanen
Vannacht bevindt de maan zich in sterrenbeeld Stier. Aldebaran is de helderste ster van dit sterrenbeeld.
Je hebt geen speciale apparatuur nodig om de show te bewonderen. Je kunt de supermaan ook via internet bekijken: om 17.00 uur begint een gratis webcast van het Virtual Telescope Project.
Begin volgend jaar zijn er nog twee supermanen te zien, te weten op 2 en 31 januari.
Bekijk ook onderstaand filmpje over de drie supermanen die in aantocht zijn:
DE MANEN VAN PLANEET NIBIRU NU DUIDELIJK ZICHTBAAR
DE MANEN VAN PLANEET NIBIRU NU DUIDELIJK ZICHTBAAR
De planeet Nibiru vormt onderdeel van een mini zonnestelsel, maar de planeet zelf heeft ook weer een aantal manen.
En naar het schijnt vormen deze manen niet alleen een vreemd patroon, ze worden vanaf de aarde steeds beter zichtbaar en moeilijker te verbergen.
Dat een planeet één of meerder manen heeft komt wel vaker voor en is dus op zich niet zo bijzonder, maar wel dat de manen niet om de planeet draaien zoals onze maan, maar er als een soort parelketting achteraan slingeren wel.
Degene die al sinds het einde van de vorige eeuw zich bezighoudt met de planeet Nibiru of Planet X is Nancy Lieder van de website Zetatalk. Zij zegt in contact te staan met een buitenaardse beschaving, de Zeta's en van hen heel veel informatie te ontvangen omtrent het mysterieuze mini zonnestelsel.
Zo schreef zij met de informatie van de Zeta's in 1997 al over de manen van Nibiru en vergeleek zij deze met een parelsnoer en de reden daarvoor is omdat deze manen niet in een baan om de planeet draaien, maar achter elkaar als een soort slinger achter Nibiru aan zwieren.
Naast de manen bevindt zich achter de planeet een lang gestrekte roodachtige wolk bestaande uit ruimtepuin die er ook uitziet als de rode draak zoals die in de Chinese cultuur een prominente rol speelt en binnen allerlei profetieën ook wordt genoemd in relatie tot deze onbekende planeet.
At thetime of the great destruction of Earth, God caused a dragon from out of Heaven to come and encompass her about. The dragon was frightful to behold, it lashed its tail, it breathed out fire and hot coals, and a great catastrophe was inflicted upon mankind.
Indertijd gaf Nancy aan dat het er ongeveer als volgt uit zou zien:
Het zogenaamde parelsnoer, de rij manen, is enige tijd zichtbaar geweest zo rond 2003 en 2004 toen het stelsel in de buurt van onze zon kwam.
Er zijn toen ook de nodige beelden vastgelegd.
Het parelsnoer verdween toen uit beeld, vanwege de positie achter de zon en was alleen in 2010 nog zichtbaar op de SOHO telescopen van NASA en toen plotseling in 2014 begonnen ze weer op te duiken.
Ongeveer een week geleden publiceerden wij een artikel over een vreemd verschijnsel dat enkele jagers in de Amerikaanse staat Missouri overkwam. Een vreemd lichtgevend object met 12 stralen dat weerkaatste op het water en waarboven in een soort halve cirkel nogmaals 12 objecten te zien waren.
Voor ons was het een groot moederschip dat even tijdelijk zichtbaar werd, met daarboven een aantal kleinere UFO's in de rol van verkenners of iets dergelijks, maar voor Nancy is het iets anders.
Zij zegt dat het de zon is die precies met 12 stralen op het water schijnt en dat de halve cirkel die daarboven zichtbaar is, niets anders is dan het parelsnoer, de manen van de planeet Nibiru.
Daarnaast is er op 5 oktober schijnbaar nog een foto genomen tijdens zonsopgang in Noorwegen waarop dit parelsnoer ook zichtbaar was.
Wanneer Nancy Lieder gelijk heeft met haar theorie, dan zullen er de komende tijd meer beelden en waarnemingen van deze sliert manen moeten opduiken. Zij zegt verder dat het door de grote rode stofwolk met puin steeds moeilijker wordt om Nibiru te zien, behalve wanneer het licht erop schijnt, waardoor je een tweede zon effect krijgt, maar dat het parelsnoer steeds beter zichtbaar zal worden en dat het dit zal zijn wat een einde zal maken aan de planeet Nibiru doofpot.
WATERGATE ADVOCAAT DOET SCHOKKENDE ONTHULLING OVER BUITENAARDSEN ( VIDEO )
WATERGATE ADVOCAAT DOET SCHOKKENDE ONTHULLING OVER BUITENAARDSEN ( VIDEO )
Men heeft altijd beweerd dat Watergate, de inbraak in het hoofdkwartier in 1972 van de Democratische Partij, bedoeld was om de Democraten in verlegenheid te brengen in verband met de verkiezingen.
De echte reden was een hele andere zoals nu wordt onthuld door Douglas Caddy, de advocaat van E. Howard Hunt, de geheim agent en insider van de CIA die bij de inbraak betrokken was.
Het is een bekend gegeven dat de Amerikaanse politiek van schandalen aan elkaar hangt en wat dat betreft is er niets nieuws onder zon in verband met beschuldigingen van Russische inmengingen in verkiezingen.
Een schandaal dat al veel eerder speelde en ook met verkiezingen te maken had, was het beruchte Watergate schandaalwat zich afspeelde in 1972 en waardoor Richard Nixon gedwongen werd af te treden als president.
Kern van het schandaal was dat in opdracht van Nixon vijf mannen zouden hebben ingebroken in het hoofdkwartier van de Democratische Partij.
Een jaar later werden de vijf, plus Gordon Liddy en E. Howard Hunt, door rechter John Sirica schuldig bevonden aan de inbraak. Door met name de journalisten Bob Woodward en Carl Bernstein van The Washington Post kwam de werkelijke toedracht van de inbraak boven water. De verslaggevers ontdekten dat de inbraak slechts een onderdeel was van een geheime operatie, geleid door president Richard Nixon, om de verkiezingscampagne van de Democraten te dwarsbomen. De president beweerde echter bij hoog en laag niets met de illegale acties van doen te hebben.
De advocaat die destijds de vijf mannen verdedigde in de rechtbank is Douglas Caddy.
David Caddy was heel goed bevriend met één van de inbrekers en dat was de CIA agent en insider E. Howard Hunt. Tijdens de allerlaatste ontmoeting die Hunt en Caddy hadden, vertelde deze dat de werkelijke reden dat ze die bewuste inbraak hadden gepleegd, was om bewijs boven tafel te krijgen dat er een grote samenzwering was geweest om John F. Kennedy te vermoorden.
Hunt vertelde Caddy dat de werkelijke reden dat JFK was vermoord was omdat hij pogingen ondernam om buitenaards leven bekend te maken en dat hij deze kennis wilde delen met de Russen, met wie Amerika ook toen al was verwikkeld in een Koude Oorlog.
Na de gebeurtenissen bij Roswell en andere UFO incidenten eind jaren veertig werd er door de overheid een geheime groepering in het leven geroepen onder de naam Majestic 12, ook wel MJ12 genoemd, iets waarover wij al eerder schreven.
Het doel van MJ12 was het bestuderen van het buitenaardse fenomeen en via zogenaamde "reverse engineering" zelf ook dit soort ruimteschepen te bouwen.
Echter, de macht van deze MJ12 werd steeds groter, zodanig zelfs dat het niet meer onder de supervisie van de president viel. Deze groep opereerde als zelfstandige eenheid binnen de veiligheidsdiensten zoals de CIA. Toen John. F. Kennedy dit gewaar werd, ondernam hij een aantal initiatieven om dit recht te zetten en om zo eveneens controle te krijgen over de technologie die inmiddels was ontwikkeld op basis van de beschikbare buitenaardse voorbeelden.
Eén van de initiatieven die JFK ondernam, was een poging om hetgeen de Amerikanen wisten over buitenaardsen en hun ruimteschepen te delen met de Russen en om vervolgens gezamenlijk met hen een nieuwe ruimtevaart/maan programma te ontwikkelen om zodoende een nieuwe wapenwedloop te voorkomen.
Uit de beschikbare officiële memo's van JFK, waaronder Memorandum 271, blijkt dat Kennedy opdracht gaf om een samenwerking met de Russen in gang te zetten en uit een andere, net vrijgekomen, blijkt dat hij de CIA opdracht gaf om alle belangrijke UFO dossiers te overhandigen. Beide memo's waren gedateerd 12 november 1963, tien dagen voordat JFK in Dallas werd vermoord.
Het moge duidelijk zijn dat er elementen binnen de Amerikaanse overheid waren die niet van plan waren om geheimen met Rusland te gaan delen. Die het zo belangrijk vonden dat deze geheimen voor alles en iedereen verborgen bleven dat ze zelfs bereid waren om daarvoor een president te vermoorden.
Daarnaast zullen er andere redenen zijn geweest, zoals dat Kennedy vastbesloten was om de gelduitgifte uit handen van de centrale bankiers te halen, maar het lijkt alsof het onthullen van het UFO geheim het specifieke moment was waarop werd besloten hem uit de weg te ruimen.
In de volgende video heeft Dark Journalist (Daniel Liszt) een gesprek met Douglas Caddy over wat er zich allemaal werkelijk afspeelde in begin jaren zestig en daarna.
BIZARDe mythe van de yeti, ofwel de verschrikkelijke sneeuwman, is onuitroeibaar. De reusachtige aap wordt al eeuwenlang waargenomen in de Himalaya en het Tibetaanse Hoogland. Wetenschappers hebben negen vermeende sporen van de yeti onderzocht.
Het resultaat is ontnuchterend: het gaat om acht beren en een hond. De onderzochte sporen betreffen onder meer haren en tanden, zoals gevonden door de bewoners van de bergen in Nepal, Bhutan en China. De wetenschappers van onder meer de universiteit in het Amerikaanse Buffalo lieten de nieuwste genetische technieken op de aangedragen voorbeelden los.

Daar is ’ie weer: Bigfoot!
Maar de haren bleken van beren en de tanden behoorden tot het gebit van een hond, zo meldt The Guardian. Wel waren de sporen van sommige beren niet geheel thuis te brengen. De wetenschappers zeggen dat het om een onbekende berensoort gaat. De onderzoekers legden ook nog ‘bewijs’ van enkele musea en dierenparken onder de loep. Ook in deze gevallen ging het om materiaal van de bruine beer die in de Himalaya leeft.

Strange Sky over Illinois, is it a sign of the time?
Strange Sky over Illinois, is it a sign of the time?
Over the past year the world has experienced unprecedented anomalies and strange phenomena in the skies and it seems that it continue to increase both in frequency and intensity.
Here is a small compilation of unusual sky phenomena captured around the world the past few days.
On December 1, 2017 another weird sky phenomenon has been captured over Illinois. The image original posted on Twitter shows a colorful streak of light in the middle of circular gap in the cloud formation. The rare phenomenon is a so-called fall-streak hole.
One day earlier we received an image taken by a reader in New Zealand, thanks, showing what looks like a glowing ball of light or second sun in the sky. Maybe the phenomenon is just lens flare or is it indeed something what we cannot explain?
Meanwhile onlookers captured a strange sky phenomenon in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand. The phenomenon is known as a circumhorizontal arc. See also the video.
And what looks like three suns appeared in the sky over China. Two small colored patches, or 'phantom suns', can be seen positioned at the left and right side of the actual sun in the sky. Such phenomenon is known as 'sun dog' and is an optical illusion. See also the video.

Bright Spheres and Evenly Spaced Beams of Light Below The Cloud Stun Deer Hunter In Missouri River, US
Bright Spheres and Evenly Spaced Beams of Light Below The Cloud Stun Deer Hunter In Missouri River, US
An image along with a report that was submitted to MUFON has intrigued UFO enthusiasts. A quality inspector for Boeing since 1980, who has worked before on or near fighter jets, has received a photo from his friend showing a mysterious phenomenon in the sky during sunset on 20th of November 2017. He felt it was so compelling that he reported it to the American-based non-profit organization, which investigates alleged cases of UFO sightings.
According to the report, his friend was with another guy making their way back to the boat ramp after a deer hunting along the Missouri River. When the sun had set around 15 minutes earlier, they saw an unusual group of lights over the clouds and beams of light reflecting off the river.
The bizarre event only lasted for seconds, but his friend managed to snap a picture it.
The quality inspector said that there’s a possibility it could be just a fantastic sun dog-type reflection, but he was having a difficult time explaining the “chevron shaped group of lights over the cloud.” Furthermore, he was not so sure about the evenly spaced beams of light coming from what looks like to be the sun shining down in the cloud.
The sun appears to be reflecting off the bottom of the cloud, and the beams seem to be reflecting off the river if you look at the bottom of the clouds in the image.
UFO Hunters Spot Bizarre White Object In NASA Launch Footage
UFO Hunters Spot Bizarre White Object In NASA Launch Footage
A mysterious white object in NASA launch footage has brought some rumblings in the UFO community. Many believe it is an extra-terrestrial craft that has been orbiting the Earth secretly for thousands of years.
The unusual white object has been spotted in a NASA shuttle launch’s archive footage that happened in 2011.
Many UFO hunters around the internet are claiming it is evidence of an alien craft.
The shimmery white aerial thing can be seen in the clouds. Alongside of it is the discarded fuel tank from the space shuttle Endeavour after it blasts off in May 2011 for its final mission.
The old footage was originally posted on the official YouTube channel of NASA. UFO enthusiasts dug it up and re-examined it. It was uploaded again to the channel UFO Today, which is dedicated everything about UFO phenomena.
The channel suggests that the strange object is the White Knight Satellite, an extra-terrestrial craft that has been secretly orbiting our planet for thousands of years, but it has never been confirmed at least scientifically.
NASA has always expressed a dim view of these kinds of conspiracy theories, and it appears that the agency does not think humanity will make contact with extra terrestrials sooner rather than later. The discovery of alien life may only be a couple of decades away, according to the co-lead of the NExSS project of NASA at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, Tony del Genio.
Del Genio thinks that in two decades, humanity will have discovered one candidate of alien life. He recognises that extra-terrestrial life may well exist in places and forms so bizarre that it might be very different from Earth.

“The upwelling we detected is like a hot air balloon, and we infer that something is rising up through the deeper part of our planet under New England.”
That’s right. Seismologists report that a volcano is building up under the northeastern United States — Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Vadim Levin, a geophysicist and professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences of Rutgers University, led the research and co-authored the paper published this week in the journal Geology. He and his team used data collected by the EarthScope program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) which has deployed thousands of seismic, GPS and other geophysical instruments across North America to monitor the forces behind volcanoes and earthquakes. That data shows that the area, particularly under central Vermont and western New Hampshire, has a force to be reckoned with.
“It is not Yellowstone (National Park)-like, but it’s a distant relative in the sense that something relatively small – no more than a couple hundred miles across – is happening.”
Enjoy it while you can
Gee, Professor Levin. If you don’t want us to worry, you shouldn’t be bringing up Yellowstone and its current upsurge in earthquakes. That kind of comparison can give one an upwelling in the throat.
The Rutgers press release says the team focused on New England because previous measurements showed its right above an area of comparative warming (hundreds of degrees Celsius warmer than neighboring areas) in the upper mantle. What were they looking for now-
“We’re interested in what happens at the interface between tectonic plates – thick, solid parts that cover our planet – and material in the upper mantle beneath the plates. We want to see how North America is gliding over the deeper parts of our planet. It is a very large and relatively stable region, but we found an irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.”
“An irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.” That’s not something you want to hear from your family doctor about a mole … or from your friendly neighborhood volcano researcher. Not only that, Levin points out that the last intense geologic activity in this area was 200 million years ago, so it’s overdue for a return. He says the data the team collected points to “a much more dynamic regime underneath this old, geologically quiet area.”
That old, geologically quiet area
NOW do you feel an upwelling, especially if you live in Burlington or Montpelier? Is there enough time to pack up your maple syrup and head for Florida?
“It will likely take millions of years for the upwelling to get where it’s going. The next step is to try to understand how exactly it’s happening.”
That’s a relief … except this forecast came from the same guy who says he found that “irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.” Like the doc said about your mole, better keep an eye on it anyway.
The JerusalemPost is reporting the discovery of a rare and mysterious structure in the Negev desert region of southern Israel. The structure was spotted in a former military firing range area with the help of aerial drone photography. Archaeologists working on the excavation believe it could be around 2,200 years old, placing it in the Hellenistic period of Mediterranean history in between the conquest of Alexander the Great and the rise of the Roman Empire.
Aerial view of the site shows the structure to be a sprawling stone complex.
Dr. Oren Gutfeld of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority are leading the excavation. So far, the excavation has revealed a series of rooms, stone walls, and underground baths. Several artifacts have been uncovered, including incense altars and other stone vessels engraved with images of bulls and the moon, leading researchers to believe that the structure might have been a temple. Bull worship was common among the Edomite (or Idumean) civilization which built settlements in this area throughout the Hellenistic period, leading archaeologists to believe that this could be one an extremely rare discovery.
Some of the artifacts found at the site indicate trade with ancient Greece.
In a statement, the researchers underscore how unique such a find would be if confirmed:
If this was indeed an Idumean palace or temple, it is a rare and exciting find. Similar structures in this country can be counted on the fingers of one hand. It seems that the building was intentionally dismantled, possibly during the Hasmonean conquest of the region.
Archaeologists have found evidence of a large fire among the ruins, possibly indicating that the structure was burned down at some point, likely by one of the ruling dynasties of Judea.
A stone wall at the site, with a black “conflagration layer” (left) indicating a fire..
While the excavations will likely take years, this discovery reveals a fascinating glimpse into a little-understood period of Mediterranean history and is one more demonstration of how aerial drone photography is revolutionizing archaeology. Scattered stones and shards of artifacts had been found in the area of this new excavation site for years, but were assumed to be debris until a drone’s bird’s-eye view revealed the outlines of a larger structure. Just wait until remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) catch up with their airborne counterparts. Atlantis, here we come.
'Equator Trap' May Complicate Search for Alien Life
'Equator Trap' May Complicate Search for Alien Life

Spotting signs of life in an alien planet's atmosphere may be tougher than scientists had thought.
One prominent such "biosignature" target, ozone, may get trapped near the equators of Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1d and other potentially habitable worlds that orbit close to their host stars, making the gas hard to detect from afar, a new study suggests.
"Absence of traces of ozone in future observations does not have to mean there is no oxygen at all," study lead author Ludmila Carone, of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, said in a statement. "It might be found in different places than on Earth, or it might be very well hidden." [Exoplanet Discovery: The 7 Earth-Sized Planets of TRAPPIST-1 in Pictures]
Ozone is an unstable molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. Here on Earth, the stuff is generally produced in the atmosphere after ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun splits "normal" diatomic oxygen (O2).
The vast majority of Earth's O2 is generated by living organisms — plants and photosynthetic microbes — so ozone serves as a sort of secondary biomarker, at least for Earth-like life.
Earth's atmospheric flows distribute most ozone relatively evenly into our planet's famous ozone layer, which helps shield life from harmful UV radiation. So hypothetical aliens studying Earth from afar with powerful telescopes would have a good chance of detecting the gas.
Earth's atmosphere has a "transportation belt" of air flows that move ozone trappfrom the main production areas near the equator toward the poles. This mechanism is important for creating Earth's global ozone layer.

But the situation is likely different on Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1d and other tidally locked worlds — those that always show the same face to their parent stars, and therefore have a "dayside" and a "nightside" — according to Carone and her colleagues. (Tidal locking is a consequence of a very tight orbit; TRAPPIST-1d and Proxima b complete one lap around their stars every four Earth days and 11 Earth days, respectively.)
Modeling work performed by the researchers indicates that, on planets with orbital periods of 25 Earth days or less, airflows tend to concentrate ozone (and other photochemically produced molecules) in an equatorial band.
"We all knew from the beginning that the hunt for alien life will be a challenge," Carone said. "As it turns out, we are only just scratching the surface of how difficult it really will be."
The new results also suggest that worlds like Proxima b don't have a global ozone layer. That may or may not have a significant negative effect on their habitability, Carone said.
Tidally locked exoplanets could have air flows that trap ozone in the equatorial regions, presenting a previously unforeseen complication for the search for traces of life on these planets.

"Proxima b and TRAPPIST-1d orbit red dwarfs, reddish stars that emit very little harmful UV light to begin with," she said in the statement. (Tidally locked planets pretty much have to orbit dim dwarf stars to be habitable; worlds that orbit so close to sunlike stars are far too hot to host life as we know it.)
"On the other hand, these stars can be very temperamental, and prone to violent outbursts of harmful radiation, including UV," she added. "There is still a lot that we don't know about these red dwarf stars. But I'm confident we will know much more in five years."
In five years, astronomers will have a lot more data — from telescopes such as NASA's $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled to launch in early 2019 — to inform their inferences about the habitability of red-dwarf planets. And advances in modeling techniques over this time span should help as well, study team members said.
Mega-Landslides on Mars May Speed Down Slopes at 450 Mph

Powerful landslides may rumble down Martian slopes at up to 450 mph (725 km/h), sped along by slippery ice, a new study suggests.
Researchers Fabio Vittorio De Blasio and Giovanni Battista Crosta, both of the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy, modeled the dynamics of landslides on Mars, especially those inside Valles Marineris, the gigantic canyon system near the Red Planet's equator.
The duo found that ice — at the landslides' bases and/or spread widely throughout the Martian soil — is likely a key player in these dramatic flows of Red Planet rock ad dirt.
"Only if the presence of ice is included in the calculations do results reproduce reasonably well both the vertical collapse of landslide material in the scarp area, and the extreme thinning and runout in the distal area, which are evident characteristics of large landslides in Valles Marineris," they wrote in the new study, which was published this month in The European Physical Journal Plus.
This conclusion fits with other available evidence, the researchers added. For example, Valles Marineris landslides look a lot like landslides here on Earth that fall onto glaciers, they wrote.
And then there's the Martian landslides' speed.

"The calculated velocity of landslides (often well in excess of 100 m/s and up to 200 m/s at peak) compares well with velocity estimates based on the run-up of the landslides on mounds," the researchers wrote. "We conclude that ice may have been an important medium of lubrication of landslides on Mars, even in equatorial areas like Valles Marineris."
One hundred meters per second is about 225 mph (362 km/h), and 200 meters per second is roughly 450 mph (725 km/h). To put that into perspective, the superfast "pyroclastic flows" that barrel down volcanic slopes during eruptions here on Earth top out at about 150 mph (240 km/h), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. And most terrestrial landslides are much slower than that.
The ancient city of Kish—the first city of the ‘Gods’ after the great flood
The ancient city of Kish—the first city of the ‘Gods’ after the great flood
“After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven, the kingship was in Kish.” A total of twenty-two kings ruled for a period of 16, 480 years, which make up the first dynasty of Kish.
One of the most important ancient cities to have existed in ancient Mesopotamia is Kish.
Considered to have been located somewhere near modern-day Tell al-Uhaymir in the Babil Governorate of Iraq, east of Babylon and 80 km south of Baghdad, this ancient city was the place where the kingship had descended from heaven after the Great Deluge swept over Earth.
It is there, in Kish, where the Gods came down from the heavens and restored their reign after the total destruction caused by the great Flood, according to the Sumerian King List.
The first ruler of Kish, after the flood, is Jushur, who ruled for a period of 1,200 years. Experts not that his rule is historically uncertain, despite the fact its mentioned in the Sumerian King List.
In fact, according to modern scholars, all rulers mentioned in the Sumerian King List before Etana do not appear in any other known source, and their existence is archaeologically unverified.

Following the rule of Jashur, twenty-two rulers are mentioned as kings of Kish. In total, they ruled for a period of 16, 480 years, which make up the first dynasty of Kish.
Nearly all of the rulers that reigned after the Great Flood, mentioned in the Sumerian King list lived through incredibly lengthy reigns.
Starting off with Jashur, the Sumerian King List mentions how he ruled for 1,200 years. After him, Kullassina-bel ruled for 960 years, Nangishlishma ruled over Kish for 670 years, his reign was followed by En-tarah-ana who ruled for 420 years, Babum ruled for 300 years, Puannum for 840 years, Kalibum ruled for 960 years, he was succeeded by Kalumum who reigned for 840 years, then Zuqaqip ruled for 900 years, Atab ruled for 600 years, Mashda, who was the son of Atab ruled for 840 years, Arwium, the son of Mashda reigned for 720 years and then came Etana, who is referred to as the “the shepherd, who ascended to heaven and consolidated all the foreign countries,” he ruled for 1,500 years. The son of Etana Balih ruled for 400 years, En-me-nuna ruled after Balih for 660 years, his son Melem-Kish ruled for 900 years after which his brother Barsal-nuna ruled for 1,200 years. Zamzug ruled over Kish for 140 years, Tizqar who was the sun of Zamug ruled for 305 years, Ilku ruled for 900 years, and he was succeeded by Iltasadum who ruled for 1,200 years. En-me-barage-si—he “who made the land of Elam submit” ruled for 900 years, and his sun Aga of Kish ruled for 625 years, and then Kish was defeated and the kingship was taken to E-ana.”
Etana, also known as the shepherd is regarded by some as the first king and founder of the ancient city of Kish.
The first archaeologically confirmed ruler of Kish was En-me-barage-si. He is believed to have captured the weapons of Elam, and in different literary references, he and his son Aga of Kish are portrayed as contemporary rivals of Dumuzid, the Fisherman, and Gilgamesh, early rulers of Uruk.
Today, the archeological site of Kish spans over an oval area of approximately 8 by 3 km, transacted by the dry former bed of the Euphrates River, encompassing around 40 mounds, the largest being Uhaimir and Ingharra.
A Trilogy Of Super Moons Is Approaching, And Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
A Trilogy Of Super Moons Is Approaching, And Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
A series of three Super Moons are set to occur very soon. You’ll have a chance to take a look at three Supermoons on December 3, 2017, January 1, 2018, and January 31, 2018.
Supermoons occur when a full moon coincides with the so-called lunar perigee, the point at which the moon’s orbit is located closest to the Earth.
Since the orbit of the Moon is elliptical, one side (apogee) is about 50,000 km farther from Earth than the other (perigee).

Full Moons in perigee seem about 14% larger and 30% brighter than full moons that are near the apogee in the lunar orbit.
“Super Moons are a great opportunity for people to start observing at the moon,” said Noah Petro, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
It is difficult for our eyes to distinguish these small changes in size when the Moon is high in the middle of the vastness of the night sky.
But, each time a full Moon is observed as it rises or sets, while suspended on the horizon and shining through the silhouettes of trees or buildings, its apparent size can make it seem twice as large.
Get your telescopes ready.
In November of last year, the Moon reached the closest distance to Earth since 1948, which gave rise to a historical supermoon, but these three Super moon events also promise a great show in the sky.
The third Supermoon will be a special one
First of all, the January 31 supermoon will feature a total lunar eclipse, with a totality visible from western North America through the Pacific to eastern Asia.
The orbit of the Moon around our planet is tilted, so it usually falls above or below the shadow of the Earth. Approximately twice a year, a full moon is perfectly aligned with the Earth and the Sun so that the shadow of the Earth completely blocks the Sun’s light, which would normally be reflected in the Moon, explains NASA.
In certain areas around the world, on January 31, the Moon will lose its brightness and acquire a mysterious glow, weaker than normal, due to the scarce sunlight that crosses the Earth’s atmosphere.
Often emitted in a reddish hue due to the way the atmosphere doubles the light, the totally eclipsed Moons are sometimes called “Blood Moons”.
The supermoon of January 31 will also be the second full moon of the month.
Some people call the second Full Moon in a month a «Blue Moon», which makes it a «Super Blue Moon». The Blue Moons happen every two and a half years, on average.
With the total eclipse, it will be a “super blue blood” moon.
So, what does all of this mean? Well, if you ever wanted to start your career as an amateur astronomer, head on to the store and get yourself a nice amateur telescope, grab a few drinks while you’re at it, and prepare yourself for three s }tunning supermoons. Astronomers and fans around the world are already preparing to observe this fantastic trilogy.
Ancient copy of Jesus’ secret revelations to his brother discovered by biblical scholars
Ancient copy of Jesus’ secret revelations to his brother discovered by biblical scholars
Researchers have recently found what is believed to be the ‘first-known original Greek copy’ of an ancient heretic Christian manuscript which describes Jesus’ ‘secret’ teachings to his brother James.
The ancient manuscript was discovered at Oxford University by biblical scholars at The University of Texas at Austin.
It is believed that to date, only a small number of texts from the Nag Hammadi library—a collection of 13 Coptic Gnostic books discovered in 1945 in Upper Egypt—have been discovered in Greek, their original language of composition say, researchers.

However, earlier this year, researchers of religious studies at the University of Texas, Geoffrey Smith and Brent Landau uncovered several Greek fragments of fifth- or sixth-century Greek parts of the First Apocalypse of James, which was believed to have been maintained only in its Coptic translations until now, explains Science daily.
“To say that we were thrilled once we realized what we’d found is an oversimplification,” stated Smith, an assistant professor of religious studies.
“We never speculated that Greek fragments of the First Apocalypse of James remained from antiquity. But there they were, right in front of us.”
The ancient text details the ‘secret teachings’ of Jesus Christ to his brother James. In the text, Jesus reveals details about the heavenly realm, and future events set to occur, as well as James’ inevitable death.
“The text extends the biblical account of Jesus’ life and ministry by allowing us access to discussions that purportedly took place between Jesus and his brother, James — secret teachings that allowed James to be a good teacher after Jesus’ death,” Smith said.
As explained by Smith, such texts would have fallen outside of canonical boundaries set forth by Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in his “Easter letter of 367” that characterized the 27-book New Testament: “No one may add to them, and nothing may be taken away from them.”
Researchers concluded that the text was most likely a ‘teachers model’ used to help students learn reading and writing, as it is neatly written, with uniform handwriting and words separated into syllables.
“The scribe has distributed most of the text into syllables by using mid-dots. Such divisions are very uncommon in ancient manuscripts, though they do show up regularly in manuscripts that were used in educative contexts,” explained Landau, a lecturer in the UT Austin Department of Religious Studies.
Smith and Landau published the discovery at the Biblical Literature Society’s Annual Meeting in Boston in November of 2017, and are working to publish their introductory conclusions in the Greco Roman Memoirs series of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri.
