Comet provides rare chance to study solar system's origins
Comet provides rare chance to study solar system's origins

More samples of comets are urgently required to better understand the early history of the solar system, say researchers analyzing comet dust brought back to Earth by NASA's Stardust mission in 2006.
The dust particles are from Comet 81P/Wild (also known as Wild 2) and date to the beginning of the solar system, containing clues about its earliest history.
"The future of Stardust science", which is a paper published in June 2017 in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, summarizes the roughly 150 scientific publications based on Stardust science. It makes an important point about the limits of our knowledge of the early protosolar disk of gas and dust from which the solar system formed. That is, Wild 2 and other Kuiper Belt comets – those originating from beyond the orbit of Neptune – are poorly represented in our samples of extraterrestrial material.
In contrast, asteroids are represented in our collections by meteorites and have been well documented for over a century, while the Moon's material has been collected and brought to scientists for analysis by the Apollo astronauts.
Andrew Westphal, a senior member of the Stardust team and an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, urged investigators to seek out more Kuiper Belt material to study on Earth because of its unique origins.

"As you sample farther and farther out in the solar system, you sample material that is more and more primitive," says Westphal, the lead author of the paper. "Particularly when you get a sample from a comet, you get a sample [that has been] in deep freeze for 4.6 billion years."
Approximately 10 percent of a typical Kuiper Belt comet is unaltered interstellar material. Some of this material consists of pre-solar grains – circumstellar dust grains condensed in the outflows (emissions) of other stars long before the solar system formed. Most of the interstellar material, however, probably formed in the interstellar medium.
Little information on water
Determining whether liquid water was ever present within Wild 2 is also an important goal of comet investigators. Astronomical evidence shows that cometary water may have variable deuterium to hydrogen (D to H) ratios, and that the average ratio differs from that of water on Earth. A famous example of this is Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, which was studied up close by the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission from 2014 to 2016. Other cometary D to H ratios have been measured by ground-based telescopes.
If comets have different D to H ratios in their water than Earth's water, this likely means that comets did not deliver the majority of water to Earth's surface. Instead, investigators speculate it was asteroids that brought the water, but more study is needed of both asteroids and comets to help confirm the hypothesis.

Unfortunately for Stardust investigators, no "volatiles" – which are molecules with low boiling points, such as water – survived slamming into the spacecraft's aerogel and aluminum foil collector at 6.1 kilometers per second (3.8 miles per second, or 13,680 miles per hour). That situation has made it challenging to advance the science on cometary D to H ratios.
"The rocks survived, but no water was preserved," says Westphal. "Some rare organics, however, did preserve their D/H ratios."
The investigators also looked for phyllosilicates, which are clays that preserve water inside of them, but to date studies of particles collected by Stardust has not yielded any phyllosilicates.
There may be another opportunity to study the material from a comet. NASA's proposed Comet Rendezvous, Sample Acquisition, Investigation, and Return (CORSAIR) mission is designed to collect materials, including organics, from Comet 88P/Howell, which could offer more implications for astrobiology. If the mission is approved, those samples would return to Earth in the 2030s.
Advanced (Possibly Extraterrestrial) German Technology From Before WW2
Advanced (Possibly Extraterrestrial) German Technology From Before WW2
(Arjun Walia)“A German newspaper recently published an interview with George Klein, famous German engineer and aircraft expert, describing the experimental construction of ‘flying saucers’ carried out by him from 1941 to 1945.”
Exotic technology has been around for a long time, and so have the agencies within the Department of Defense that use it. Just imagine what type of technology the NSA — an intelligence agency whose existence was denied until the mid-1960s — was using in the 1950s. Then there’s the National Reconnaissance Office, which was founded in 1960 but remained completely secret for 30 years. Secret technologies have been wrapped up in the Black Budget and Special Access Programs (SAPs) for years, and many of these SAPS remain unacknowledged by anybody within the government. They’re exempt from standard reporting requirements to Congress.
“It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction, when the most worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard. It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy, when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects about which both the Congress and the Commander in Chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.”
When it comes to exotic aerial technology, there is no shortage of information. For examine, in the mid-1920s, Townsend Brown discovered that gravitational mass and electric charge are coupled. He found that when a capacitor is charged to a high voltage, it moves toward its positive pole. This became known as the “Biefeld-Brown” effect, which, like many new concepts today that challenge longheld belief systems (that then become scientific dogma), was opposed by conventional-minded physicists of his time.
As Theodore C. Loder, a Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire, states:
The Pearl Harbor Demonstration. Around 1953, Brown conducted a demonstration for military top brass. He flew a pair of 3-foot diameter discs around a 50-foot course tethered to a central pole. Energized with 150,000 volts and emitting ions from their leading edge, they attained speeds of several hundred miles per hour. The subject was thereafter classified. Project Winterhaven. Brown submitted a proposal to the Pentagon for the development of a Mach 3 disc shaped electrogravitic fighter craft. Drawings of its basic design are shown in one of his patents. They are essentially large-scale versions of his tethered test discs.
German Flying Saucers
Here is an authentic image/story of a large UFO hovering over L.A., which was witnessed by 1 million people. Dubbed the “Battle of Los Angeles,” it was an event that showed us how the U.S. military was learning to lie about UFOs, five years prior to the Roswell Incident.
During World War Two, multiple strange sightings occurred, of disc-shaped objects travelling at incomprehensible speeds. When the Associated Press and New York Times covered the topic in 1945, they speculated the objects might be a new form of German weaponry.
There is no shortage of strange documents in the CIA’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) electronic reading room. Many reveal the agency’s efforts to keep tabs on the technological developments of other countries, especially during and after World War II.
One document brings up a famous German engineer named Georg Klein, who, as the document states, expressed that “though many people believe the ‘flying saucers’ to be a postwar development, they were actually in the planning stage in German aircraft factories as early as 1941.”
The document then goes on to mention an experiment described by Klein:
“The “flying saucer” reached an altitude of 12,400 meters within 3 minutes and a speed of 2,200 kilometers per hour. Klein emphasized that in accordance with German plans, the speed of these “saucers” would reach 4,000 kilometers per hour. One difficulty, according to Klein, was the problem of obtaining the materials to be used for the construction of the “saucers,” but even this had been solved by German engineers toward the end of 1945, and construction on the objects was scheduled to begin, Klein added.
Three Different Models
According to Klein, by 1944 the Germans had already built three saucers for testing. Were these the “foo” fighters all of these American pilots were reporting?
One type actually had the shape of a disc, with an interior cabin, and was built at the (unidentified) factories, which had also built the V2 rockets. This model was 42 meters in diameter. The other model had the shape of a ring, with raised sides and a spherically shaped pilot’s cabin placed on the outside, in the center of the ring . . . [and] both models had the ability to take off vertically and to land in an extremely restricted area, like helicopters.
The engineers were ordered to destroy these saucers, including all of the plans for them.
“The engineers at the Mite factories in Breslau, however, were not warned in sufficient time of the Soviet approach, and the Soviets, therefore, succeeded in seizing their material. Plans, as well as specialized personnel, were immediately sent directly to the Soviet Union under heavy guard.”
German Saucer Technology Has Been in the Lore for a Long Time
Aviation writer Nick Cook is one of many to have investigated this topic, and in 2002 he came to the conclusion that the Nazis had experimented “with a form of science the rest of the world had never remotely considered” and which continues to be suppressed today.
It makes you wonder what the United States received given that, through Operation Paperclip, a number of top German scientists were transported to the United States.
“[Italian researcher] Renato Vesco argued that Germans had developed antigravity. Disc-shaped and tubular craft were built and tested near the end of the Second World War, which, he argued, was the proper explanation of foo fighters. These concepts, he maintained, were developed by the Americans and Soviets and led directly to flying saucers.”
Another researcher Joseph P, Farrell, a professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkely, believes that some of the Nazi’s developments were
A means to tap into zero-point energy, or to phrase it differently, the energy of the physical medium of space-time itself
As a means to manipulate gravity itself, i.e. as an advanced prototypical field propulsion technology; and,
As a means to the ultimate, potentially planet-busting, weapons
Former head of the CIA Roscoe Hilenkoetter put it best in 1960 when he told the nation that “behind the scenes, high ranking air force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” (source)
“Oh yes we discuss it at every conference that we had with the military, and they never were able to make me a concrete report on it. . . . There’s always things like that going on, flying saucers and they’ve had other things, you know.”
I’ve been researching the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon for more than two decades now, and the more I do, the more I realize just how little I know, and how much information is out there that I have yet to examine. What I have learned, from documents like the one above, is that many of these crafts are most likely manmade, by our own agencies.
That being said, although UFOs are now officially verified, this wasn’t so just a few years ago. Just as there was evidence for the UFO phenomenon when it was ridiculed, so too does the extraterrestrial hypothesis have plenty of evidence to back it up, despite not being accepted by the mainstream yet.
I’ve covered why I believe so in many of my articles, most of which you can find in the exopolitics section of our website.
I’ll leave you with a couple of my favourite quotes.
“It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our Earth for centuries.”
– Hermann Oberth , the founding father of rocketry and astronautics
There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time.”
– Dr. Brian O’Leary, former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor (source)

A small capsule containing dust from the asteroid Itokawa touched down in June 2010 at the Woomera test range in the Australian Outback. Launched in May 2003, Hayabusa suffered a host of technical problems.

Hayabusa was a Japanese spacecraft that brought back a sample of asteroid material to Earth in 2010, after a mission riddled with technical glitches. The spacecraft touched down on a small near-Earth asteroid called 25143 Itokawa and safely brought back minute rocky particles for analysis.
The success of the mission inspired a successor spacecraft, called Hayabusa 2. This spacecraft is on its way to asteroid 162173 Ryugu and is expected to arrive in July 2018. Asteroid samples will be returned to Earth in December 2020.
Mission development and history
Plans for an asteroid-sampling mission actually predate the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), founded in 2003. A predecessor agency, called the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (which today, is a part of JAXA) created a sample and return targeting mission that was planned for the 1990s, according to JAXA. The mission would have visited the asteroid 1943 Anteros. ISAS, however, ultimately decided not to proceed because its scientists concluded the technology was not ready yet.
In the mid-1990s, ISAS developed a sample return mission called MUSES-C (or Mu Space Engineering Spacecraft). Its primary target was considered the asteroid 4660 Nereus, and its backup target was another asteroid called 1989 ML. Delays in MUSES-C's launch (due to a rocket failure) ultimately pushed both targets out of reach, so mission planners chose asteroid 162173 Ryugu as the target.
MUSES-C launched on May 9, 2003, and was renamed Hayabusa ("falcon") shortly after its launch. A solar flare en route damaged its solar cells, which in turned affected the efficiency of the ion engine, according to Gizmodo. The spacecraft performed a flyby of Earth on May 19, 2004, to gain speed for its long voyage. The spacecraft then arrived at 25143 Itokawa on Sept. 12 (three months later than planned, due to its ion engine troubles) and sent back high-resolution images of the asteroid back to Earth.

In early November, JAXA announced that Hayabusa would do a practice descent on Nov. 4, but the attempt was later aborted because of difficulties finding a landing site. Then the spacecraft attempted to send a small probe called MINERVA to the surface on Nov. 12. MINERVA, an acronym for MIcro/Nano Experimental Robot Vehicle for Asteroid, was a 1.3-lb. (half a kilogram) test lander that was supposed to hop from location to location, taking pictures of the surface. The little lander, however, drifted away from the Hayabusa spacecraft into space — never reaching its intended target.
Hayabusa also attempted to fire a probe at the surface and gather the dust it produced, but that experiment also failed. Ultimately, Hayabusa touched down on the asteroid surface twice in late November, but on both occasions it went into safe mode and it was unclear whether it gathered any material while it was on the surface.
"Problems with frozen pipes, leaking fuel, and communications glitches caused even more consternation as the spacecraft attempted to depart the asteroid," Gizmodo added. "By the time the return capsule was headed back to Earth, only two of four ion engines and seven of 11 batteries were working; another ion engine automatically shut down partway through the journey home. By re-entry, the reaction control system was no longer functional."
Re-entry back to Earth also wasn't smooth, to say the least; Hayabusa broke up when it entered Earth's atmosphere on June 13, 2005. Luckily for investigators, dust was collected at the asteroid and it did survive the perilous re-entry; the sample return capsule was picked up from Australia and flown to Japan for investigation.

Hayabusa's findings
In November 2010, JAXA said it had collected 1,500 grains that "were identified as rocky particles"; most of them were thought to come from "extraterrestrial origin" (meaning, the asteroid). JAXA had known beforehand that the particles of material were there, but it took several months of analysis to confirm they were not contamination from Earth or from Hayabusa's voyage.
In the initial results, JAXA announced it found minerals such as olivine and pyroxene, which are common on Earth and have been found on the moon and Mars. The particles were tiny, just one-tenth the width of a human hair (10 micrometers in size). Several articles on Hayabusa's dust collection appeared in the Aug. 26, 2011, issue of Science; among the findings was confirmation that the dust on 25143 Itokawa was identical to material on an LL chondrite type of meteorite. This finding confirmed showed link between meteorites and asteroids.
One of the more interesting findings has to do with submicrometer craters on the surface of the particles. Some of the earlier results showed one to two craters on individual particles, while a September 2016 update reported one particle had 15 individual craters. This particle's craters were "formed by fragments produced by the impact process of a tiny celestial body on the surface of asteroid Itokawa," JAXA reported.

Satellite Tracker Map: How to Spot China's Falling Space Station, Hubble & More
By SPACE.com Staff
Here's how to pinpoint the China's falling space station Tiangong-1, International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope and other satellites in the sky above you with this satellite tracker powered by N2YO. The tracker should appear just below if Javascript is enabled. Click the Tiangong-1 button to see where the space station is at any time. [How to Spot Satellites: An Observer's Guide]
This artist's illustration from a China space agency video shows the Tiangong 1 space laboratory, a prototype module for the country's planned space station.
China's first space station. It was put into space in a single launch in 2011. It was then visited three times by spacecraft, including two missions with taikonauts (Chinese astronauts) on board. The last mission was in 2013, and the station is falling from space. It is expected to fall to Earth around April 1. Here's everything you need to know about China's falling space station.
The longest-serving space station ever, the International Space Station was constructed by astronauts starting in 1998, and has been continuously occupied since November 2000. Most astronauts live there for six months at a time, studying the health effects of long-term missions in space.
A famous space telescope that helped scientists find evidence the universe was accelerating in its expansion, and narrowed down the age of the universe. This instrument was launched in 1990 and was serviced across four space shuttle missions.
A long-serving satellite that gathers data on the Earth's changing climate, it was launched in 1999 and helped improve climate information for cloud height and albedo (reflected sunlight). It also tracks fast-changing events such as fires or severe storms.

An Earth-observation satellite from North Korea. Due to that country's nuclear aspirations, the February 2016 launch has come under international scrutiny and in some cases, criticism.
This weather satellite, operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), launched in 1998. Its instruments track climate factors such as atmosphere, cloud cover, ozone and sea surface temperature.

The Aqua mission looks at the movement of water around the Earth, including processes such as precipitation, soil moisture and sea ice. It can also monitor vegetation cover and aerosols in Earth's atmosphere. It was launched in 2002.
A mysterious, reusable Air Force space plane that can operate uncrewed in Earth orbit for hundreds of days at a time. Its mission remains classified. The X-37 started as a NASA project before being transferred to the Department of Defense. The craft's first orbital mission took place in 2010.
Source does not identify this, but it appears to bean artist's conception of a TIROS N satellite, either either NOAA-18 or NOAA-19 (which are essentially identical).
This is a polar-orbiting satellite for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Its role is to collect data on Earth's environment and atmosphere to add to climate records and improve weather predictions. It launched in 2005.
Artist's concept of Japan's Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS), also known as Daichi.
The Japanese Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS), also called Daichi, operated from 2006 to 2011 and remains in orbit. It was used to improve cartography and disaster monitoring in Asia and the Pacific.
Launched in 2013, Landsat 8 has better sensors than any Landsat satellite ever launched before it. The mission is a joint one between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey and aims to monitor changes in the Earth's land use over time.
Launched in 2009, this is the last of its series of polar-orbiting satellites. The satellite is for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and collects data for weather forecasts.
Traveling to Mars presents a lot of challenges. Money is by far the biggest, but right behind it is fuel. It takes a ton of propellant to get into space, let alone travel to the nearest planet. That issue, however, may finally be resolved thanks to new technology.
The European Space Agency (ESA) tested a thruster that uses molecules in space to fuel it. This air-breathing ion thruster could allow for a satellite to orbit the red planet without the need of additional propellant, such as xenon. It works by skimming molecules from space and then compressing them to form plasma. Then an electric field would accelerate the plasma thus propelling the satellite.
The first air-breathing ion thruster.
“This design of the collector was challenging because the air molecules tend to bounce out again, rather than be retained and compressed to a point where they turn into plasma, capable of being accelerated with an electric field,” Louis Walpot, leader of the project at ESA, told Space.com. “The collector-plus-thruster design is entirely passive in nature — the air enters the collector due to the spacecraft’s velocity as it orbits around Earth. All it needs is electric power to ionize the compressed air.”
Work on the project started in 2015 with the ESA funding the collaboration of Polish Firm QuinteScience and Italy’s Sitael. Testing for the thruster was done in a vacuum chamber located in Italy. The chamber simulated the surroundings at 120 miles above Earth. At that distance, the thruster would suck in nitrogen and oxygen molecules, but would work differently in Mars’ orbit, where it would gather carbon dioxide molecules at approximately 75-85 miles from the planet’s surface.
The next step for the project is to improve the technology and begin working on a more realistic flight configuration. Walpot said they will start looking at potential applications for the technology.
The Chinese space station Tiangong-1 will reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend. Updated reentry predictions here. Plus video showing some last glimpses of the space station.
Illustration via Guy Ottewell’s blog. Read his thoughts on the statistical chances a piece of Tiangong-1 will hit us.
Meanwhile, experienced sky observers caught video of Tiangong-1 last week, as it sped across our sky on its way to a fiery demise this weekend. We know of at least two who succeeded in this demanding observation. See their videos below. Brian Ottum posted his view of the space station – from early in the day on Wednesday – on Instagram:
astropicsdailyAs you may have heard, the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 will come crashing down to Earth this weekend. Here is my video of the bus-sized satellite from this morning. The camera was having trouble keeping up with Tiangong as it zoomed across the sky - you can see stars whip past. Taken March 28, 12.6UT. The space station is starting to dip into the atmosphere, 120 miles up. Friction could be starting to cause it to warm up and glow. Predictions have it burning up late Saturday night, but that could happen as early as Saturday morning or Sunday. We just don't know where or when. Chunks are likely to hit Earth, but probably the ocean. Video taken with Canon 5DmkIII, 10" F/5 reflector telescope, satellite tracking Paramount MX mount, remote control observatory located at Dark Sky New Mexico.
algolwatchMy app has it in our hood Sunday 6:41... think it'll last that long?
astropicsdaily@algolwatch 6UT on Sunday, which is 2am EDT, is currently the best forecast. But the uncertainty is about 24 hrs either side!!!!! We currently have no idea where or when. Hopefully better estimate on Friday evening.
brianm910Awesome! I was wondering if I could find it here and get a video of it.
The Virtual Telescope Project in Rome and Tenagra Observatories in Arizona provided an exciting livestream of their successful attempt to view Tiangong-1, also earlier in the day on Wednesday. Check this out! It’s really fun to hear Gianluca Masi‘s commentary and he searches for – and finds – the space station.
As of now (early in the day on March 31, 2018) the spacecraft is at about 113 miles (182 km) in altitude. That’s down from about 134 miles (215 km) altitude on March 24. And it’s down from 155 miles (258 km) on March 7. Its orbit is clearly decaying as you can see if you follow the spacecraft’s descent here. The end will come more or less suddenly, due in part to changing conditions in Earth’s upper atmosphere, which is why it’s so inherently unpredictable.
Have you been hearing specific reentry locations for China’s first space station, Tiangong-1, aka Heavenly Palace 1? I heard Michigan at one point, then Wisconsin.
Don’t believe these specific predictions. Experts are still saying reentry will take place anywhere between 43 degrees north and 43 degrees south (see map below). As Guy Ottewell points out:
The satellite’s orbit is inclined 43 degrees to the equator, which means that it passes over latitudes between 43 north and 43 south. That includes all of the Americas between the Great Lakes and southern Argentina, all of southern Europe, Asia from Korea south, all of Africa and Australia and the East Indies. So there are a few tens of millions of square miles of land, and more of water, that a descending piece may choose to hit.
At no time will a precise time or location prediction for reentry be possible.
Tiangong-1 potential reentry area. Map showing the area between 42.8 degrees north and 42.8 degrees south latitude (in green), over which Tiangong-1 could reenter.
Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011, and, originally, a controlled reentry was planned. Firing the craft’s engines would have enabled controllers to allow the craft to burn up (mostly) over a large, unpopulated region of the South Pacific ocean. Any surviving pieces would have fallen into the ocean. But, in March 2016, the Tiangong-1 space station ceased functioning. Ground teams lost control of the craft, and it can no longer be commanded to fire its engines. It is, therefore, expected to make an uncontrolled reentry … soon.
The spacecraft’s main body is approximately 34 feet (10.4 meters) long.
ESA has said that Tiangong-1 will “substantially burn up” in Earth’s atmosphere. Will pieces crash to Earth? Possibly. Will they crash in populated areas? It’s not possible to say, but the chances are small that any human being will be harmed, according to a statement from Aerospace, a research organization that advises government and private enterprise on space flight. Aerospace said:
There is a chance that a small amount of Tiangong-1 debris may survive reentry and impact the ground. Should this happen, any surviving debris would fall within a region that is a few hundred kilometers in size and centered along a point on the Earth that the station passes over.
Aerospace also warned that the space station might be carrying a highly toxic and corrosive fuel called hydrazine on board.
Tiangong-1 is not designed to withstand reentry, as some spacecraft are. But it will mostly burn up when it falls, due to the extreme heat and friction generated by its high-speed passage through Earth’s atmosphere.
Tiangong-1’s predicted reentry as of March 29, 2018, via ESA.
Tiangong-1’s major goal was to test and master technologies related to orbital rendezvous and docking. One uncrewed and two crewed missions – executed by the Shenzhou (Divine Craft) spacecraft – took place during its operational lifetime. ESA explained:
Following launch in 2011, the Tiangong-1 orbit began steadily decaying due to the faint, yet not-zero, atmospheric drag present even at 300 or 400 km altitude [~200 to 250 miles altitude]. This affects all satellites and spacecraft in low-Earth orbit, like the International Space Station, for example.
Bottom line: China’s first space station will soon undergo an uncontrolled reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. As of early in the day on March 31, Aerospace Corporation was predicting April 1 at 16:15 UTC ± 9 hours. At no time will a precise time or location prediction for reentry be possible.
“It’s really, really exciting but also very emotional. You hear the history and the stories, and now you’re standing and looking at something that’s real, that’s confirming the stories that have been handed down over the generations.”
(Duncan McLaren)
When did you ever hear someone speak so emotionally about footprints? William Housty, a member of the Heiltsuk Nation — a First Nations government in the Central Coast region of British Columbia – used those words in a Washington Post article to describe the discovery of 29 footprints on Calvert Island that date back 13,000 years, making them the oldest footprints ever discovered in North America. That alone would be enough to make the Heiltsuk people emotional, but there’s more that will make the “this changes everything” crowd shed a tear as well. The prints add credibility to the prevailing theory that ancient humans from Asia explored and populated North America by traversing the Pacific coastline rather than walking through the interior.
Location of tiny Calvert Island
In a study published in PLOS One, Duncan McLaren of the University of Victoria and the Hakai Research Institute describes how his team found the footprints (pictures here) and then spent three years studying them and the area where they were discovered. The prints were discovered on the shore of Calvert Island in 2014. It appears they were made in clay, then they filled with sand, gravel and more clay which preserved them. It took them two seasons to remove the prints while dealing with rising tides.
Once removed, over half of the footprints were of good enough quality to be identified as human — “based on the clear arch, toe, and offset heel attributes of the tracks found during excavations, we are certain that they were left by human feet” – and measured. Sounding like a shoe salesman, McClaren described what they found.
“The footprint measurements correspond to modern day US shoe sizes of a junior size 8, a junior size 1 or woman’s size 3, and a woman’s size 8-9 (or man’s size 7-8).”
The smallest print is from a child, a significant find since most remains and artifacts are generally from adults. There was no evidence they wore any form of foot coverings – also unusual. Wood fragments located in the foot path allowed the researchers to date the footprints to just over 13,000 years ago.
“This provides evidence that people were inhabiting the region at the end of the last ice age. It is possible that the coast was one of the means by which people entered the Americas at that time. As this island would only have been accessible by watercraft 13,000 years ago. it implies that the people who left the footprints were seafarers who used boats to get around, gather and hunt for food and live and explore the islands.”
Calvert Island shore
The age and location of the prints support an interesting theory called the Kelp Highway, which suggests that a high concentration of underwater kelp along the North Pacific coast which fed an ecosystem that allowed seafaring people to live and travel along the shore.
Based on all of this, the footprints of Calvert Island should at least be considered a discovery that changes many things.
As you may have seen, I recently wrote an article on Truman Bethurum’s controversial, alleged encounters in the early 1950s with a hot babe from another world. Her name: Aura Rhanes. I suggested in the article that Bethurum’s encounters may have been caused by hypnagogia. Of this particular phenomenon, healthline.com state: “If you think you’re seeing — or smelling, hearing, tasting, or feeling — things when you’re asleep, you may not be dreaming. It’s possible you’re experiencing hypnagogic hallucinations. These can occur in the consciousness state between waking and sleeping.” It’s a fact that a lack of sleep – and disturbed sleep patterns, such as shift-work – can provoke vivid hypnagogic states. A good argument can be made that Truman Bethurum’s experiences occurred when he was in just such a state.
There are other cases which may be explainable by hypnagogia. One of them occurred back in 1947 and is recorded in now-declassified FBI files (which can be accessed at the UFO section of the FBI’s website, The Vault). It was in the second week of July 1949 that an intriguing story caught the attention of the FBI. The story was given to the Bureau by a broadcaster and journalist, Walter Winchell. He told the FBI that he had received a UFO-themed letter from a “Mr. Jones” of Los Angeles, California. According to Jones, the encounter had occurred two years earlier, in 1947. Why Jones waited so long to tell his story, we don’t know. But, let’s see what the FBI had to say about this particular case of the flying saucer kind.
The now-declassified documentation states: “In this letter, Jones stated that in August of 1947 he left Los Angeles for the mountains and started hiking through the mountains. About 10:00 a.m. he was laying on the ground when he observed about one-half block away from him a large, silver, metal object, greenish in color, shaped like a child’s top and about the size of the balloons used at Country Fairs.”
The FBI added: “[Jones] stated that there appeared to be two windows in the object and portions of metal appeared transparent and that he gained the impression that there was some life within this object although he saw no persons. The object appeared as though sealed as a pressure chamber. He stood up and waved toward this object and this so-called flying saucer was off the ground in a second, knocking Jones to the ground. In its flight he stated that its power was silent and he raised the question as to whether this was an inter-global landing on our planet. He thought that it might be a device to land on our planet because the occupants of another planet had become curious as to the reaction caused by the atomic bomb causing trouble in an expanding universe. He asked the question as to whether it was possible that the occupants of another planet might have solved the theory of negative energy.”
This is all very interesting, as much of what Jones had to say – about issues concerning “the reaction caused by the atomic bomb” – mirrored what many of the UFO “Contactees” began to talk about from the early 1950s onward. It should be noted, though, that by Jones’ admission, when he encountered the UFO he was “laying on the ground,” and specifically after taking a hike. In light of that, it’s highly possible that Jones, after a long trek, had fallen asleep and entered a graphic, hypnagogic state. Now, let’s move onto a famous case from the 1960s.
It was in the early hours of December 3, 1967 that a police-officer named Herbert Schirmer had an extraordinary encounter at Ashland, Nebraska. While on patrol, Schirmer came across what, at first, he thought was a broken-down truck at the edge of the road. It was not. What Schirmer saw – when his headlights lit up the object – was an egg-shaped craft floating a couple of meters above the ground and giving off a red glow.
The egg-le has landed
There followed a face-to-face encounter with a trio of human-like entities that were around five-feet in height, maybe slightly smaller. Schirmer was quickly taken on-board – although not by force. Indeed, he was invited to take a tour of the craft from another world. There was also the matter of what has become known in Ufology as “missing time.” According to Schirmer, although he believed he was only in the vehicle for around ten minutes, when he later checked he realized that around an hour of time couldn’t be accounted for.
It sounds like a classic UFO encounter. And, maybe, that’s exactly what it was. On the other hand, there is the not insignificant fact that by his own admission Schirmer often had sleep disturbances, as do many people who work shifts – as Schirmer did. In the early hours and just before dropping off to sleep Schirmer would hear strange noises – and on more than a few occasions. On other occasions he even found he had his hands around his wife’s throat. Thankfully, no harm was done. Sleep disturbances, strange sounds, working irregular hours, and even extreme and violent activity are all part of hypnagogia – which can affect people to significantly varying degrees.
Now, I should stress that I don’t think hypnagogia is the cause of all close encounters. To even try and claim such a thing would be ridiculous. And, it would be unwarranted, too. But, where there is a clear and specific connection to a sleep-related condition that can provoke vivid imagery, and even voices, I think we would do well to focus far more on the mysteries of the mind, and far less on the mysteries of outer space.
Here in the U.S., we can’t get our politicians to engage in civil debates about anything, let alone mythical monsters – unless they’re trying to get approval to make that monster THEIR state’s monster (see Washington state’s fight to make Bigfoot its official state monster – you can’t make this stuff up!). However, this is not the case in the British Parliament, where this week two members of the House of Commons discussed the existence of the Loch Ness monster and one revealed his own great-uncle was involved in an early sighting. Really!
The debate started when Scottish MP Drew Hendry was bragging about the growth of tourism in the towns under his jurisdiction, which includes Inverness, home of the Loch Ness monster.
“Why wouldn’t you, Mr. Speaker, want to come to Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey? To enjoy the snow sports in the Cairngorms, perhaps, or golfing in Nairn, or go on a cruise along Loch Ness with Jacobite cruises.”
The House of Commons — crowded but peaceful
Hendry was addressing MP Bob Stewart, who represents Beckenham in South-East London. Being a politician and not having access at the time to Twitter, Stewart responded to Hendry’s question face-to-face on the floor of Parliament with a revelation that both chided Hendry and shocked the rest of the members, the general public and Nessie believers worldwide.
“I want to help him by saying my uncle, who was at school on the edges of Loch Ness as a boy, saw the Loch Ness monster. In consequence, tourism expanded hugely. It was in all the Scottish newspapers. And only at his funeral did he allow it that he was a fake.”
If this had occurred in the U.S., all eyes would have turned to the nearest television to see what the cable news networks had to say. This being the U.K., Stewart was allowed to continue.
“For the sake of clarity, my uncle … was at prep school alongside Loch Ness in 1931 when he was late back to school and he and another boy claimed they were watching the Loch Ness monster. This grew big: Scotsman, lots of pictures and he was stuck with this. And it was only at my great uncle’s funeral that he allowed his son to declare that actually he hadn’t seen the Loch Ness Monster all those years ago as a boy.”
If this had occurred in the U.S., the tweets and retweets and memes would be flying. Instead, Hendry gave this stern yet polite response.
“[That is] a scurrilous attack on what is quite clearly one of my constituents.”
The first half of that statement is true, the second is also true assuming Nessie exists. The real question is, was Stewart telling the truth? He claims the sighting was reported in The Scotsman. The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register – the go-to source for all things Nessie – lists one official sighting in 1931 by a J.J. Christie. However, the only record of that sighting it could find is an article in The Inverness, not The Scotsman, and it didn’t appear in the paper until 1948. That seems strange, considering the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register is pretty thorough and Stewart said there were “lots of pictures.” Also, Stewart doesn’t give his great-uncle’s name.
MP Bob Stewart — would he lie about the Loch Ness monster?
Then there’s the alleged funeral confession by his great-uncle’s son that the alleged sighting of the alleged monster was all a real hoax. Really?
It was at this point that Stewart seems to be feeling a little guilty and says:
“But I want to say I believe there is a Loch Ness monster.”
Now there’s something that would NEVER happen on the floor of the U.S. Congress.
“There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls.”
Of all people, you would think that Pope Francis would know not to upset the status quo right before Easter. And yet, he allegedly declared hell does not exist … and it has become of public relations nightmare for the Vatican and an even worse nightmare for his followers as, just a few hours after this shocking declaration, pieces of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome suddenly came crashing to the ground – narrowly missing worshipers and Michelangelo’s famous Pieta statue. Is this a coincidence or asign? Will churches be even MORE overflowing on Easter Sunday?
The problem started … as many religious problems do … with an atheist. Eugenio Scalfari — a 93-year-old Italian journalist, former member of the Italian parliament, co-founder of the newspaper La Repubblica and an avowed atheist – was interviewing Pope Francis for a piece that was scheduled to run on March 29th – Holy Thursday for Catholics. Why was Pope Francis being interviewed by an atheist? Because that’s the kind of open-to-all-ideas pope he is. And that’s probably what got him into the mess he’s in.
A loophole?
Scalfari, being an experienced journalist who’s done his share of big interviews, claims he never has and still does not take notes nor record his interviews with the pope, preferring to rely on his memory. Being 93, that may be why the Vatican’s PR team is blaming his memory for what it’s calling his “reconstruction” of what the pontiff actually said. The pope himself did not issue a retraction nor make any subsequent comments on the interview and the alleged quote.
Why? Perhaps he was a little worried. Just a few hours after the interview in La Repubblica was published, all hell (you knew it was coming) broke loose in St. Peter’s Basilica as pieces broke loose from the ceiling and crashed hundreds of feet to the floor. Officially known as the Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, it’s considered to be the burial site of Saint Peter and the church where the pope conducts services on major Catholic occasions, including the upcoming Easter Sunday mass.
According to The Duran and other media outlets, a Vatican spokesperson said that no one was injured when plaster fell from the ceiling and broke into pieces on the marble floor near Michelangelo’s Pieta, one of the most famous statues in the world (photo here). The area was cordoned off until an inspection could be made. This is not what the Vatican wants to hear when thousands of people will be crammed into the basilica on Sunday.
Did Pope Francis really say that hell – the place where many believe the souls of the worst of the worst spend eternity in torture as punishment – doesn’t exist? Only he and Eugenio Scalfari know for sure. Is there a connection between the alleged quote and the ceiling pieces falling in St. Peter’s Basilica, the pope’s church, two days before Easter? Who knows? Stranger things have happened. Is the declaration that there is no hell a big enough scandal to warrant such a sign? That’s one for the theologians and religious historians.
The answer to all of these questions will be revealed if Pope Francis conducts Easter services in a pointy white hardhat.
Mysterieuze objecten scheren langs vliegtuig. Argentijnse piloot legde het tafereel vast op video
Mysterieuze objecten scheren langs vliegtuig. Argentijnse piloot legde het tafereel vast op video
Er zijn beelden opgedoken van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten die langs een vliegtuig schieten. Een Argentijnse piloot legde het tafereel vast op video.
De video toont twee mysterieuze vliegende objecten die de piloot op enkele meters passeren, meldt het Russische persbureau Sputnik.
De objecten vliegen door de dichte bewolking en één ervan beweegt tot twee keer toe van de ene naar de andere kant voordat het uit beeld verdwijnt.
Vorm
De beelden zijn op YouTube gezet door Jason Gleaves, die al lange tijd onderzoek doet naar dit fenomeen.
Hij kan niet met zekerheid zeggen welke vorm de objecten hebben omdat de oorspronkelijke beelden van lage kwaliteit zijn.
De piloot gebruikte een mobiele telefoon en de hoek van waaruit hij filmde maakt een goede analyse vrijwel onmogelijk.
Arizona
Mensen reageerden verdeeld op het filmpje, dat inmiddels ruim 30.000 keer is bekeken. Sommigen zien het als bewijs voor UFO’s, terwijl anderen denken dat de beelden nep zijn.
Pas geleden nog zagen twee piloten een onbekend vliegend object in het zuiden van Arizona. Het is nog altijd niet duidelijk wat zij daar hebben gezien.

Zoals we in een eerder artikel aangaven is het niet één bijzondere gebeurtenis, maar een optelsom van vreemde onverklaarbare zaken.
En de meeste van die onverklaarbare zaken doen zich de laatste weken voor in de lucht, waar steeds meer mensen dingen opmerken die allesbehalve "normaal" zijn.
De meeste mensen lopen letterlijk naar de grond te kijken of hun online verbinding en als iets niet in het scherm van hun smartphone verschijnt, dan bestaat het niet. Echter, voor hen die wel regelmatig naar de lucht kijken, begint het steeds meer op te vallen dat er iets niet klopt.
We hebben de laatste tijd regelmatig aandacht besteed aan vreemde kleuren in de lucht. Kleuren zoals bloedrood, oranje of paars die niet te verklaren zijn door atmosferische omstandigheden. Veelal nemen mensen dit soort kleuren waar in een noordwestelijke richting enkele uren nadat de zon is ondergegaan.
Waar in eerste instantie soms nog wordt gedacht aan het noorderlicht als mogelijke verklaring, gaat dit in de meeste gevallen niet op vanwege en de locatie waar dit fenomeen wordt waargenomen en omdat er geen omstandigheden waren die dag die het noorderlicht veroorzaakt zouden kunnen hebben.
Zoals bijvoorbeeld de volgende opnames die zijn gemaakt om 's avonds tien uur in de plaats Athens in de Amerikaanse staat Georgia. Je ziet op een gegeven moment de hemel lichter worden en dan veranderen in allerlei kleuren zoals rood-achtig en zelfs paars. De mensen die dit hebben waargenomen zijn stomverbaasd en vragen zich wat hier in 's hemelsnaam aan de hand is.
De volgende opname is gemaakt op 28 maart 2018 in de plaats Prosper in Texas rond negen uur 's avonds en wederom in westelijke richting. Je ziet duidelijk de hemel oplichten op een niet natuurlijke manier uren nadat de zon is ondergegaan.
De volgende opname is gemaakt om vier uur 's ochtends in westelijke richting in een plaats die Antlers heet in de Amerikaanse staat Oklahoma. Degene die deze opname heeft gemaakt, is vol verbazing over hoe het kan dat hij om die tijd in westelijke richting een oranje hemel ziet.
Dan verschijnen er opnieuw opnames uit Athens, dit keer gemaakt op 28 maart en dan om zes uur 's ochtends. Wederom die je in westelijke richting de hemel oplichten en een rood-achtige kleur krijgen.
En dan in een heel ander deel van de wereld nog iets merkwaardigs. We hebben onlangs kunnen zien hoe een aantal wintersportgebieden oranje sneeuw voor kwam en dit zou dan veroorzaakt zijn door zandstormen in de Sahara.
Rond dezelfde tijd was er ook in de plaats Quargla in Algerije een rode mist te zien. Echter door die mist zie je net nog de zon en daarnaast nog iets wat op een kleinere zon lijkt. Ook toen vorig jaar een storm over Engeland trok en ook een soort rode mist veroorzaakte, gebeurde hetzelfde. Heel veel mensen hebben toen een tweede zon in de lucht waargenomen.Waarschijnlijk fungeert deze mist in de lucht als een soort filter, waardoor je ineens wél dingen naast de zon kunt waarnemen.
Bovenstaande opname is afkomstig uit de volgende video, waar de commentator helaas een Skandinavische taal spreekt dus voor ons niet te verstaan, maar de beelden zijn duidelijk.
Hier volgt nog een video van een onbekend iemand ergens ter wereld. Ook hier hoor je een verbaasde stem over de rood-achtige lucht middenin de nacht.
In landen waar de zon normaal gesproken veelvuldig schijnt zoals Thailand, is er eveneens iets dat veel mensen opvalt en waar ze foto's van maken. De kleur van de zon is veranderd, er hangt een soort roodachtige gloed om de zon die er voorheen niet was. De volgende vier foto's zijn allemaal gemaakt op verschillende locaties in Azië door verschillende mensen.
Ook in ons land valt wel degelijk het nodige waar te nemen. Wij ontvingen het volgende van een lezer (dank!):
Ik ben weer een opmerkelijke foto tegen gekomen op Buienradar.
De foto is gemaakt door A. K. (privacy) te Weidum op 29-03-2018. Zij spreekt over een heerlijke dag in het Noorden, dus in neem aan dat de foto genomen is in de avonduren. De foto toont een opmerkelijke uitstulping ten noordwesten van de Zon. De ene foto is een origineel en de andere heb ik veranderd door de belichting aan te passen.
Kijk naar het resultaat. Het liegt er niet om. Nibiru is daar.
Waar het bovenstaande nog valt in de categorie: natuurlijk, dat wil zeggen, niet door mensen gemanipuleerd, kan dat absoluut niet gezegd worden van het volgende dat we eveneens via een lezer ontvingen (dank!):
Volkomen normaal... een vierkante wolk.
Dat dit soort dingen werkelijk voorkomen blijkt uit video's die eerder zijn gepubliceerd: Ook daar voorbeelden van vierkante wolken. En zo hebben we boven onze hoofden een mix van manipulatie door de mens een een grote planeet die steeds dichterbij schijnt te komen.
Des te meer reden om te zorgen dat je de komende tijd gezond en dus bij deze nog eens de aanbieding van Orjana voor Niburulezers deze week.

Dit zorgt ervoor dat ontstekingen worden bestreden en het zijn ontstekingen die uiteindelijk de oorzaak zijn van bijna alle ziektes, inclusief kanker.
Als je CBD wilt, gebruik dan de rauwe versie(s) zoals die van Orjana, waar alle elementen van de plant in zitten behalve het hallucinerende THC en maak gebruik van de aanbieding van deze week voor Nibirulezers. Voer de code "cbdtien" in en ontvang 10% korting op 10ml CBD olie van Orjana. Deze actie loopt nog tm zondag 1 april.
Mensen die met vragen zitten over hun medische toestand en het gebruik van bijvoorbeeld CBD kunnen die stellen via de website van Orjana.
Het is februari 2014 als het ruim 100 meter lange vrachtschip Luno vanwege motorproblemen op de rosten terechtkomt in de golf van Biskaje.
Gelukkig worden de 12 bemanningsleden tijdig van boord gehaald door helikopters, maar deze zijn niet alleen.
Dankzij een onlangs uitgekomen boek zijn er nu ook beelden van een wel zeer bijzondere reddingsoperatie
Het vrachtschip Luno krijgt motorproblemen en strandt op de rotsen van de kust bij Anglet in Frankrijk.
Het schip heeft 12 bemanningsleden aan boord en het duurt niet al te lang voordat het schip in tweeën breekt.
Vlak voordat het schip breekt, verschijnt er een legerhelikopter die begint met het van boord halen van de bemanningsleden.
Echter, een plaatselijk televisiekanaal dat opnamen maakt, krijgt ook nog wat anders in beeld. Een formatie van twee UFO's die plotseling tevoorschijn komen en rakelings achter de helikopter langs schieten.
Een aantal experts heeft de beelden uitgebreid bestudeerd en men komt tot de conclusie dat de objecten geen drones of vogels zijn.
Ook na uitgebreide studie blijft over dat het niet geïdentificeerde objecten zijn, UFO's dus. Blijft over de vraag wat deze daar op dat moment deden.
Was het nieuwsgierigheid of was er misschien een andere reden dat ze daar waren op dat moment.

This diamond craft was captured in Hawaii last week. The object is sitting just over a cloud at the top of the mountain, which makes me think it may have come from the mountain area. The diamond object is tilted, telling me its trajectory was either going up or down. Not left or right like a bird or drone. The diamond shape is just incredible...and over Hawaii.

UFOs Become Visible For A Few Minutes From ISS High Above The Earth
UFOs Become Visible For A Few Minutes From ISS High Above The Earth
MrMBB333 of YouTube recently released strange UFOs that was claimed to be caught on live. These unidentified flying objects appear to float in a place and make little movement. The video, which was reportedly taken on March 17, 2018, seems to show something high above the earth and visible from the International Space Station (ISS).
MrMBB333 said that he was not expecting those unknown objects, who he just used his iPhone to record that mysterious activity.
MrMBB333 noted that the UFOs have some reflective properties and appear to be moving a little bit. He explained that he watched the ISS livestreams quite a bit, but never seen anything like these.
The unknown objects are so for away in the video, but it definitely shows that there is something there at the moment.
MrMBB333 stated that he was open to interpretation as he did not know what to tell to his viewers about the anomaly. He can only assume that those UFOs might be a structure or group of objects right up there.
The objects disappeared as the ISS moved closer in their direction.
Sporen van 1 miljoen mensen ontdekt in 'onbewoonde Amazonegebieden'
Sporen van 1 miljoen mensen ontdekt in 'onbewoonde Amazonegebieden'
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Wij dachten dat in deze gebieden vrijwel niemand woonde. Maar we zaten er goed naast.
Het Amazonegebied is enorm uitgestrekt en lang niet alle delen zijn even goed bereikbaar. Geen wonder dat archeologen het gebied nog steeds niet helemaal hebben uitgekamd. Ze moeten keuzes maken; ze kunnen onmogelijk het hele Amazonegebied aan een onderzoek onderwerpen. Tot op heden richtten archeologische studies zich daarom op gebieden in de omgeving van de grote rivieren. Aangenomen werd dat dat de plekken waren waar mensen zich in het verleden het liefst vestigden. Maar daar moeten we nu op terugkomen. Onderzoekers van de universiteit van Exeter hebben dieper in het regenwoud – dus op grote afstand van de grote rivieren – namelijk sporen gevonden van honderden dorpjes die samen mogelijk tot wel 1 miljoen mensen herbergden.
Mato Grosso De onderzoekers bestudeerden een gebied in wat nu de Braziliaanse provincie Mato Grosso is. Ze vonden er niet alleen resten van versterkte dorpen, maar ook 81 mysterieuze geoglyfen (zie kader). De dorpjes bevinden zich in de meeste gevallen nabij of zelfs in de geoglyfen.
Afbeelding: University of Exeter.
Geoglyfen zijn door mensen gemaakte greppels in het landschap die vanuit de lucht gezien een vierkante, ronde of zelfs hexagonale vorm hebben. De functie van de greppels is nog altijd onbekend. Mogelijk werden ze voor ceremoniële doeleinden aangelegd.
Misvatting “Het is een veelvoorkomende misvatting dat de Amazone een ongerept landschap is, waarin her en der verspreid nomadische gemeenschappen te vinden zijn,” stelt onderzoeker Jonas Gregorio de Souza. “Dat klopt niet. Wij ontdekten dat sommige populaties die op afstand van de grote rivieren leefden, veel groter waren dan gedacht en dat deze mensen van invloed waren op hun omgeving en dat kunnen we ook nog steeds zien.”
Het onderzoek naar de geschiedenis van het Amazonewoud is niet alleen interessant voor archeologen. Ook biologen kunnen er hun voordeel mee doen, meent De Souza. “De Amazone speelt een cruciale rol in het reguleren van het aardse klimaat en als we meer over de geschiedenis ervan weten, helpt dat een ieder om betere beslissingen te nemen over hoe we in de toekomst voor het woud moeten zorgen.”
Extreme temperatuurveranderingen kon prehistorische mensen niet klein krijgen
Extreme temperatuurveranderingen kon prehistorische mensen niet klein krijgen

Ze hielden stand, zelfs toen de temperatuur in amper tien jaar tijd 3 graden Celsius daalde.
Dat blijkt uit opgravingen in Star Carr, een archeologische vindplaats uit de middensteentijd in Engeland. Op deze plaats zijn sporen van mensen gevonden die teruggaan tot zo’n 9000 voor Christus. Het betekent dat de mensen die hier woonden, met een behoorlijk instabiel klimaat te maken hadden (zie kader).
Na de ijstijd
Zo’n 11.500 jaar geleden kwam er een einde aan de IJstijd: de aarde begon op te warmen. Gletsjers trokken zich terug en ijskappen op het noordelijk halfrond verdwenen. Het zorgde ervoor dat er behoorlijk wat smeltwater in de oceanen liep en de interactie tussen die oceanen en het wegkwijnende ijs leidde tot extreme weersomstandigheden en een vrij instabiel klimaat.
Zo kregen de mensen in Engeland te maken met een zeer koude periode die zo’n honderd jaar aanhield. Maar dat deed ze weinig, zo onthullen de opgravingen. In aardlagen uit die periode zijn namelijk heel veel bewerkt hout, botten van dieren en gereedschappen aangetroffen dei stuk voor stuk getuigen van hun productiviteit en doorzettingsvermogen.
Geen onoverkomelijk probleem “Er is betoogd dat abrupte klimatologische gebeurtenissen een crash in Mesolithische populaties in het noorden van Groot-Brittannië veroorzaakten, maar onze studie onthult dat samenlevingen – in ieder geval die van de pionierende kolonisten in Star Carr – in staat was om om te gaan met extreme en aanhoudende klimatologische gebeurtenissen,” vertelt onderzoeker Simon Blockley. “Wij ontdekten dat mensen in feite veel sterker beïnvloed werden door kleine, lokale veranderingen in hun omgeving.” Blockley denkt dan bijvoorbeeld aan het verdwijnen van het meer dat ooit op de plek van Star Carr lag. Mensen woonden aan de rand ervan, maar zagen het meer op een gegeven moment geleidelijk aan verdwijnen. “Door de tijd heen werd het meer steeds ondieper en moerassiger, het begon in veenland te veranderen en dwong de kolonisten om het gebied te verlaten.”
De onderzoekers baseren hun conclusies niet alleen op archeologische vondsten. Ze bestudeerden ook pollen en sedimenten om meer te weten te komen over de klimaatveranderingen waarmee deze mensen te maken kregen. Zo ontdekten ze twee perioden van extreme afkoeling, waarbij de gemiddelde temperatuur in ongeveer tien jaar tijd met 3 graden Celsius afnam. De eerste keer dat dat gebeurde, hadden mensen dit gebied nog maar net betrokken. De afkoeling zorgde er in dat stadium waarschijnlijk voor dat de samenleving wat minder vooruitgang boekte en wat minder actief was. Maar toen er een tijd later weer sprake was van afkoeling, stond de samenleving al wat sterker in de schoenen en hadden de dalende temperaturen weinig effect. Het onderzoek onthult volgens onderzoeker Nicky Milner dat we niet te snel conclusies moeten trekken over de effecten die extreme temperatuurveranderingen op vroege mensenpopulaties heeft gehad.
Compleet nieuw 'orgaan' ontdekt in het menselijk lichaam
Compleet nieuw 'orgaan' ontdekt in het menselijk lichaam
Caroline Kraaijvanger
En het lijkt ook nog eens een heel belangrijke functie te hebben.
Het nieuwe ‘orgaan’ bevindt zich net onder het oppervlak van de huid, rond het spijsverteringskanaal, de longen, de urinewegen en omringende vaten, aderen en het bindweefsel tussen spieren. Lang werd gedacht dat het dichte, verbindende weefsels waren. Maar in werkelijkheid blijken het met vloeistof gevulde compartimenten te zijn die bovendien met elkaar in verbinding staan.
Functie De compartimenten hebben waarschijnlijk een zeer belangrijke functie, zo stellen onderzoekers in het blad Scientific Reports. Mogelijk doen ze dienst als schokdempers die voorkomen dat weefsels die veel samenknijpen, pulseren of pompen – denk aan organen, maar ook spieren en bloedvaten – scheuren.
Hier zie je het interstitium onder de huid.

Interstitium De ontdekking van dit nieuwe orgaan – dat de onderzoekers ‘interstitium’ hebben gedoopt – kan bovendien meer inzicht geven in verschillende ziekten. Zo kunnen de onderzoekers nu verklaren dat kankercellen die het weefsel rond onder meer het spijsverteringskanal, de longen en vaten binnendringen, hun weg weten te vinden naar de lymfeklieren. Je moet het interstitium als het ware zien als een verzameling snelwegen waar vloeistoffen gebruik van kunnen maken om zich door het lichaam te verplaatsen en dat wegennetwerk komt uit in de lymfeklieren.
Waarom nu pas? Het lijkt misschien vreemd dat onderzoekers anno 2018 nog nieuwe organen ontdekken in het menselijk lichaam. Hoe kon het interstitium zo lang onopgemerkt blijven? Dat is goed te verklaren. Onderzoekers bestuderen weefsels eigenlijk altijd onder de microscoop. Voor ze het onder de microscoop leggen, bewerken ze deze echter altijd enigszins om de cellen en andere structuren goed in beeld te krijgen. Het betekent onder meer dat alle vloeistof uit het weefsel wordt gehaald. Hierdoor stort het interstitium als een pannenkoek ineen, waardoor het opeens een heel dicht weefsel lijkt.
De onderzoekers kwamen het nieuwe ‘orgaan’ op het spoor dankzij een vrij nieuwe technologie die gebruikt kan worden om weefsels in beeld te brengen. De technologie werd gebruikt om te verwijderen weefsels in het lichaam van kankerpatiënten te bestuderen en liet de met vloeistoffen gevulde weefsels zien. Vervolgonderzoek wees uit dat die met vloeistof gevulde compartimenten overal waar in het lichaam weefsels bewogen of samengedrukt werden, te vinden waren.
Aarde had mogelijk al oceanen vóórdat de maan ontstond
Aarde had mogelijk al oceanen vóórdat de maan ontstond
De aarde had misschien al veel vroeger water dan gedacht. Zo vroeg zelfs dat er al oceanen bestonden vóór de kolossale inslag van een protoplaneet ter grootte van Mars die de maan deed ontstaan.
Tot die conclusie komt een team van wetenschappers, onder leiding van Richard Greenwood van de Britse Open University, dat de zuurstofsamenstelling van maangesteenten heeft vergeleken met die van basaltgesteenten uit de diepe oceanen op aarde (Science Advances, 28 maart).
De aanwezigheid van vloeibaar water verandert de hoeveelheden van verschillende zuurstofisotopen in gesteente. Dus als het meeste water op aarde pas na de grote inslag was aangekomen, zouden de aardse gesteenten een duidelijk andere zuurstofsamenstelling moeten hebben dan die van de maan. Dat blijkt echter niet het geval te zijn: de verschillen zijn heel klein.
Dat wijst erop dat er ten tijde van de botsing met Theia, ongeveer 4,4 miljard jaar geleden, al veel water moet zijn geweest op aarde. Bovendien moet deze botsing dermate krachtig zijn geweest dat het materiaal van de jonge aarde zich volledig met dat van Theia vermengde.
Deze conclusie is in strijd met de gangbare gedachte dat de maan grotendeels uit materiaal van Theia bestaat en maar voor een klein deel uit aards oergesteente. Een andere interessante implicatie is dat kolossale inslagen als deze niet funest hoeven te zijn voor de watervoorraad op een planeet.
De kleine verschillen tussen de zuurstofsamenstellingen van de gesteenten van maan en aarde schrijven Greenwood en zijn collega’s toe aan een latere, veel kleinere inslagen die op aarde hebben plaatsgevonden. Daar zou onze planeet 5 tot 30 procent van haar watervoorraad aan te danken hebben.
