Chinese wetenschapper beweert dat eerste genetisch gemanipuleerde baby’s al geboren zijn - HLN.be
Chinese wetenschapper beweert dat eerste genetisch gemanipuleerde baby’s al geboren zijn - HLN.be
MEDISCH Lulu en Nana zijn een IVF-tweeling van enkele weken oud. Volgens de Chinese wetenschapper He Jiankui uit Shenzhen zijn de meisjes de eerste genetisch gemanipuleerde baby’s ooit geboren. Jiankui benadrukt dat hij de controversiële ingreep enkel voor gezondheidsredenen wil toepassen. Als dit waar is, gaat het om een enorme evolutie in wetenschap en ethiek.
De Chinese wetenschapper zette een filmpje op YouTube waarin hij aankondigde dat de eerste gemanipuleerde kindjes al geboren zijn. In de video zegt hij dat de vader van de bewuste meisjes, Mark, hiv heeft. Dankzij de genetische aanpassing die Jiankui met zijn team doorvoerde bij de embryo’s tijdens de vruchtbaarheidsbehandelingen, zijn de baby’s nu zelf resistent tegen het hiv-virus.
De ingreep gebeurde met de veelbelovende en erg precieze CRISPR-techniek. Die laat toe om een enkel ongewenst gen door te knippen en te vervangen door een ander gen. In het geval van de tweeling was het de bedoeling om te voorkomen dat de meisjes ziek zouden worden door een mogelijke hiv-besmetting. Maar de ethisch omstreden techniek zou ook kunnen gebruikt worden om een zogenaamde designerbaby samen te stellen. Dan kan je als ouder de kleur van ogen en van haar kiezen, tot zelfs het niveau van intelligentie. Van die mogelijke toepassingen distantieert He Jiankui zich uitdrukkelijk in het filmpje.
Het is koffiedik kijken of de beweringen van He Jiankui kloppen. Er is nog geen gepubliceerde studie van de case en dus ook geen onafhankelijke controle van andere experts. De ouders wensen niet in de pers te komen en blijven anoniem. De aankondiging gebeurde in Hong Kong aan de vooravond van een internationaal congres over genetische manipulatie. Aan AP zei Jiankui: “Ik voel een enorme verantwoordelijkheid om niet alleen de eerste te zijn maar ook als voorbeeld te dienen.” Over het al dan niet toelaten van de omstreden techniek zei hij: “Het is de maatschappij die zal beslissen over de volgende stappen.”
De collega’s van He Jiankui reageren verdeeld. Sommigen vinden het hiervoor nog veel te vroeg. Ze benadrukken dat het over de bouwinstructies van de mens gaat waarmee je niet zomaar wat kan gaan experimenteren. Maar de bekende geneticus van Harvard University, George Church, verdedigde de poging om de genen aan te passen in het geval van hiv. Hij noemde het “gerechtvaardigd”, omdat hiv een “grote en groeiende bedreiging voor de volksgezondheid” is.
Tot nu toe werd de CRISPR-techniek enkel toegepast op planten en dieren, en bij volwassen mensen om een dodelijke ziekte te bestrijden. De invloed van zo’n ingreep op menselijke patiënten bleef beperkt tot die persoon zelf. Maar de genetische aanpassingen die nu zouden gerealiseerd zijn bij embryo’s kunnen mogelijk erfelijk zijn voor nakomelingen. In de VS is dit soort van genetische modificaties daarom verboden. En omdat er een risico bestaat op schade voor andere genen. China verbiedt zelf ook het klonen van mensen, maar niet genetische manipulatie op zich. Bij de aangekondigde medische wereldprimeur was wel een Amerikaanse wetenschapper betrokken.
He Jiankui beweert dat hij zeven koppels van wie de man besmet is met hiv dezelfde behandeling gaf. Tot nu toe kwam het tot één zwangerschap. De andere pogingen zijn voorlopig on hold gezet omdat het team de tweelingmeisjes eerst verder wil opvolgen.

Alle mensen zijn voortgekomen uit slechts twee volwassenen. Hebben Adam en Eva echt bestaan?
Alle mensen zijn voortgekomen uit slechts twee volwassenen. Hebben Adam en Eva echt bestaan?
Alle moderne mensen stammen af van één enkel stel dat 100.000 tot 200.000 jaar geleden leefde, zo zeggen wetenschappers.
Ze analyseerden de genetische ‘barcodes’ van vijf miljoen dieren en kwamen tot de conclusie dat de mensheid is voortgekomen uit twee volwassenen na een catastrofe waarbij bijna alle soorten uitstierven.
Deze barcodes, stukjes DNA die in levende cellen kunnen worden gevonden, suggereren dat niet alleen mensen, maar ook negen op de 10 diersoorten in diezelfde periode zijn ontstaan.
Wetenschappers analyseerden de genetische "barcodes" van 5 miljoen dieren en 100.000 vershillende soorten
Vraagtekens
De wetenschappers, Mark Stoeckle en David Thaler, concludeerden dat 90 procent van alle diersoorten die vandaag de dag leven, zo’n 250.000 jaar geleden tegelijkertijd is ontstaan.
Ze trekken daarmee de menselijke evolutie in twijfel.
“Deze conclusie is erg verrassend en ik heb er zo hard tegen gestreden als ik maar kon,” zei Thaler.
Kort
De onderzoekers hebben geen idee waarom de mens zo ‘kort’ geleden weer overnieuw moest beginnen.
Mensen blijken niet alleen verrassend veel op elkaar te lijken, maar ook op alle andere soorten.
Vogels
Zo verschilt het mitochondriale DNA van duiven en mensen maar heel weinig van elkaar.
“In termen van cultuur, levenservaringen en andere dingen verschillen we van elkaar, maar als je naar de biologie kijkt lijken we heel erg op vogels,” zei dr. Stoeckle.
Het onderzoek is verschenen in het tijdschrift Human Evolution.

Scott C. Waring:
Voici quelques images brutes d’un OVNI qui sort tout droit du ciel au-dessus de la Californie cette semaine. L’OVNI brille de mille feux et descend lentement du ciel. Au début, il ressemble à un météore, mais sa chute est trop lente pour en être un. Des images déconcertantes, c’est le moins que l’on puisse dire. Le fait est que deux ovnis existent et se succèdent, donc ils veillent l’un sur l’autre. Une sorte de copilote, comme ils l’ont fait dans l’US / Navy pour les pilotes afin de les tenir à l’écart des ennuis. Manifestement contrôlé intelligemment.
Le témoin oculaire déclare:
Quelques amis à moi et moi étions assis sur mon porche en train de fumer des cigarettes quand nous avons remarqué quelque chose qui tombait du ciel, au début c’était un météore, mais ensuite nous avons remarqué qu’il s’est arrêté et a commencé à aller sur le côté après avoir plané pendant un moment. Un autre objet est apparu à côté.
HOW AND WHERE TO WATCH NASA'S INSIGHT FINALLY LAND ON MARS

HOW AND WHERE TO WATCH NASA'S INSIGHT FINALLY LAND ON MARS
ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26th, following a six-month journey across hundreds of millions of miles of deep space, NASA’s InSight spacecraft will arrive at Mars in suitably dramatic fashion, hitting the top of the planet’s atmosphere at 12,300 miles per hour—several times faster than a speeding bullet—shortly before 12:00 pm PST (3:00 pm EST).
If all goes as planned, it will take InSight (short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport) just seven minutes to decelerate completely and alight on Mars’ surface. The planet’s atmosphere will do a lot of the work, aided in turn by InSight’s parachute, descent thrusters, and shock-absorbing legs. If NASA can pull it off, it will be the agency’s eighth successful landing on the red planet.
NASA and others will be broadcasting news of InSight’s approach, entry, descent, and landing all day long. Here are the best places to keep tabs on Monday’s proceedings in person and online.
Watch on WIRED
Tune in here Monday to catch two live feeds from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The first will feature live interviews with mission experts between 3:00 am and 7:00 am PST (6:00—10:00 am EST), followed by live landing commentary and news briefings from scientists and engineers between 11:00 am and 12:30 pm PST (2—3:30 pm EST). The second will be an uninterrupted feed of cameras from inside JPL Mission Control, featuring mission audio only, during the same time window. Notification of the landing is expected to arrive at Mission control around noon PST, but if communication with the spacecraft is delayed, NASA might not know InSight’s status for hours or even days. For this reason, the agency has penciled in a post-landing news conference for no earlier than 2:00 pm PST.
Watch in Person
From the NASDAQ Screen in Times Square, to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, to the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany, live viewing parties will be taking place all over the world on November 26th. NASA has compiled a handy list of no fewer than 80 such events, complete with addresses and contact information. The agency is updating the list daily, so if you don’t see anything near you today, be sure to check back in the days ahead. You can also check with your local museum to see if they’ll be hosting a landing party. If you’ve never been to a watch party for a Mars landing, we highly recommend it. After all: They don’t happen very often!

InSight launched on May 5th from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base, making it NASA’s first interplanetary mission to lift off from the West Coast, rather than Cape Canaveral in Florida. Why the swap? Chalk it up to the evolving nature of launch logistics
The term cloud iridescence – aka irisation – comes from Iris, the Greek personification of the rainbow. True iridescent clouds are relatively rare. Here’s what causes them.
Ken Christison wrote on November 18, 2018: “We had some beautiful iridescence in the clouds late this afternoon. Seen from northeastern North Carolina.” Thank you, Ken!
Sky watchers often report seeing rainbow colors in clouds. There are various kinds ofhalosand colored arcsand even truerainbowsyou might see associated with clouds, but – if the rainbow-like colors are randomly distributed, and if the sun is nearby – what you’re seeing is likely an iridescent cloud.
These sorts of clouds are caused by especially tiny ice crystals or water droplets in the air. Larger ice crystals produce lunar or solar halos, but tiny ice crystals or water droplets cause light to be diffracted – spread out – creating this rainbow-like effect in the clouds.
The images on this page are mostly via the EarthSky community. Our thanks to all who contributed!
Kino Obusan caught these iridescent clouds – one on the right and one on the left – on July 15, 2016, from Batangas, Philippines. “It was my first time to see a rare cloud phenomenon like this.” Thank you, Kino!
Our friend Dave Walker in the UK caught another iridescent cloud in 2013. He wrote, “There’s been a lot of very high cloud recently, always a cue for me to look out for more atmospheric optics.”
The best way to see an iridescent cloud is to place the sun itself behind some foreground object, a building or mountain, for example. Other aids are dark glasses, or observing the sky reflected in a convex mirror or in a pool of water. EarthSky Facebook friend Duke Marsh captured this image in 2012 in New Albany, Indiana.
Charles Loyd wrote in 2014: “I was outside and my 9-year-old daughter looked up and asked why there was a rainbow in the clouds … “

The colors in an iridescent cloud tend to be subtle and are usually pastel, but in some cases they can be vivid. Here is cloud iridescence captured by George Quiroga in Boynton Beach, Florida, in 2012.

Bottom line: You might on occasion see a rainbow-like cloud. They’re fairly rare, but people do spot them, and we sometimes receive photos of them. They’re caused by the presence of very tiny ice crystals or water droplets in the air, which cause light to be diffracted (spread out).
Sprawled out across a portion of the northern Mojave Desert of California, in the United States, is the magnificent yet forbidding moonscape that is Death Valley. This is one of the hottest, most inhospitable places on the planet, boasting the highest ground temperature ever recorded on earth at 201 °F (93.9 °C), and in general a sun-scorched wasteland, devoid of water and pounded by relentless sun and heat. It is so inhospitable that it might as well be the surface of some remote, lifeless planet, and it is not called Death Valley for nothing. Yet, for how totally uninhabitable it may seem there have long been Native tribes living in this extreme land for thousands of years, and it some reports are to be believed there is even a mysterious lost civilization that lived under it all.
The tribe most associated with the Death Valley region is the Paiute, who like many other tribes throughout the world have their particular legends and myths about the land they inhabit. For the Paiute one of the most intriguing is that of a great underground city they call Shin-au-av, meaning “God’s Land” or “Ghost Land.” According to the lore, there was once a great chief who lost his wife to the clutches of death. Unable to cope without her, this chief took a journey to the land of spirits, during which he found himself in a vast subterranean world. In this land he was attacked by horrific monsters, which he barely managed to fend off as he retreated, finally crossing a rock bridge and coming to a peaceful land ruled by a chief called Shin-au-av.
Death Valley
This was apparently a land of lush green meadows, sweeping valleys, and dancing, happy people, and the chief who had stumbled across this magical place realized that is was a land of spirits, possibly even harboring his dead wife. He even asked if his wife was there, and one of his guides said that she indeed was, and that she would be presented to him with the caveat that he whisk her away as soon as possible without looking back. The chief was elated, but after waiting several days she did not materialize. He was about to give up but then she appeared and he did as promised, taking her by the hand and leading her across that stone bridge back to the land of the living, but he broke his pact by looking once more onto that sumptuous realm of green and his wife subsequently faded away once again. The heartbroken chief made his way back to his village, but he was never the same again, and his tale of that amazing underground domain became the stuff of legends.
Whether this fantastic fable is based in any way in reality or not, there have actually been explorers and adventurers who seem to have stumbled across this seemingly mythical place buried under the harsh hellscape of the Death Valley above, and whether connected to this legend or not there have been many who have claimed to have found something quite odd there under the parched earth. One of the earliest such accounts comes from the early 1900s, when two men named White and Thomason were said to have been hiking through Death Valley and one of them allegedly fell through the ground into an old mine shaft at a place called Wingate Pass.
It turned out that there underground was a gigantic cavern that they claim to have followed for 20 miles beneath the earth, where it penetrated out under the Panamint Mountains. According to them, this meandering, expansive cavern emptied out into a vast and ancient subterranean city, which had long since been abandoned but which still held much evidence of its past residents. White and Thomason said that they found perfectly preserved mummies wearing leather clothing and gold jewelry down there in the dank depths, as well as gold spears, a polished stone round table of some sort, golden statues, and just generally gold lying all over the place, as well as countless gemstones. Throughout all of it was an intricate lighting system that they speculated harnessed natural gases, and immense stone doors that seemed to have once been operated with elaborate mechanical systems.
The men claimed to have taken some of the treasure and relics out of there so that they could be studied, but that they had been subsequently stolen by an associate. They captured the attention of the Smithsonian Institute, and promised that they could show them where the entrance to this bizarre underground world was, but the men were unable to locate it again. Considering there is absolutely no evidence of these men’s claims, we are left to merely speculate as to how much truth any of it has.
In the 1920s there was another interesting account when a Native Guide named Tom Wilson came forward to claim that his prospector grandfather had also found some sort of underground city under Death Valley. Wilson said that his grandfather had followed a cave down into the earth, where he had come across a city of fair-skinned people living there underground, who spoke a language he could not understand and were decked out in leather clothing of some sort. This strange race had horses down there, and the whole city was lit up by some sort of lighting system he could not comprehend. Interestingly, Wilson would hear the earlier account of the explorer White and would go on to spend the rest of his life obsessively looking for the lost city without success until he passed away in 1968.
In 1947 the mysterious lost city of Death Valley captured the public imagination when a man named Howard E. Hill came forward with a rather bizarre tale of his own, which was circulated in the newspaper The San Diego Union. Hill told of a man named Dr. F. Bruce Russell and his colleague, an archeologist named Dr. Daniel S. Bovee. In 1931, Russell was claimed to have discovered a complex network of subterranean caves, which were stumbled across completely by accident while sinking for a mine shaft to make a claim on. The two men went on to explore these uncharted tunnels and found a series of spectacular caverns and catacombs down there in the gloom, which revealed some rather startling discoveries indeed.
According to the report, Russell and Bovee came across the mummified remains of three actual giants in the darkness, each measuring a purported 9 feet tall and wearing clothing that appeared to be jackets and knee length trousers made of some sort of unknown animal skin. The chamber that the giants were found in was allegedly full of relics that seemed to be some sort of mix of Egyptian and Native American design, and there were apparently hieroglyphics etched into the walls and ceiling. The men also found some sort of hall that they believed had been used for mysterious rituals, and within this hall were the remains of numerous animals presumably used for sacrifices, including both known and unknown animals, as well as the bones of extinct animals such as mammoths and even actual dinosaurs, as weird as that may seem.
Russell supposedly claimed that the remains were dated to be at least 80,000 years old, and that the whole complex meandered out into the unexplored dark for miles, with no telling what else lie within the unexplored murk. Although the two tried to get interest from the scientific community they were perhaps not surprisingly looked at with quite a bit of skepticism, with all of this talk of giant bones and dinosaur skeletons in an underground city. Yet they were apparently adamant that it was all real and that it was the discovery of the century. The two were finally able to draw some interest, but when they tried to find the entrance again they of course could not. Rather bizarrely, not long after this Dr. Russell and Bovee just suddenly vanished, and Russell’s car would supposedly be found abandoned in the desert of Death Valley several months later with no sign of its occupant.
There have been sporadic reports since of finding anomalous caverns and ruins down there in the earth below Death Valley, and we are left to wonder what it all means. Was there ever an ancient underground city here or is this all just myths and folklore? What of the findings of these explorers who have claimed to have been there? What is the significance of the mummies or the bones? It is a hard case to really get a bead on, and for now we are left to merely wonder if down in the depths below the unforgiving remote desert of Death Valley there is some ancient mysterious city lost to time.
Did you hear about the Archangel Gabriel's Ark? Is supposed to be stronger than the Ark of the Covenant
Did you hear about the Archangel Gabriel's Ark? Is supposed to be stronger than the Ark of the Covenant
Archangel Gabriel, who is said not only that he would have dictated the Qur'an of the "Prophet" Mahomed but also would have given to Prophet a sort of box of immense power. Then the founder of Islam said to bury the arc and to reveal it when the end of the world is near. The Ark would have been discovered and given to Russia, whose army had taken it just in Antarctica, possibly to a kind of former UFO base with Nazi ties

70 metal plates contain the earliest account of Jesus
70 metal plates contain the earliest account of Jesus
The discovery of 70 metal plates in Jordan in 2008 describes the earliest account of Jesus, among many other references to the time 2000 years ago. The metal plates have now been confirmed as authentic...
In 2008, the authenticity of the 70 metal plates was questioned, but now the codicils have been analyzed and confirm that they are genuine and 2000 years old. The metal plates have been joined together and represent documents from this period. Particularly striking is the statement that Jesus did not establish a new teaching at all, but that he carried on the teachings of King David as a 1000-year-old tradition.
His intention was not to create a new religion, but rather to represent a God who is both male and female. The metal plates were in a large box made of stone bone and lead. The scientists Roger Webb and Chris Jeynes from the "Nodus Laboratory" of Surrey University tested the plates extensively and found that they were equivalent to a sample from an ancient Roman mine at the excavation site in Dorset. The language to be discovered on the metal plates is Paleo-Hebrew. They also mention the apostles Peter, John, James, and Jesus.
The authors Jennifer and David Elkington have revived interest in Jordanian codicils. They temporarily received the metal plates for further study. They attempted to largely translate and examine the text. They even discovered the face of Jesus surrounded by a halo. Webb and Jeynes also stated in their research that the many blogs that doubted the authenticity of the metal plates withdrew these hasty conclusions because they are now considered authentic. The symbols discovered on the metal plates show a clear correspondence with those of the Temple of Solomon.
The names Jesus and Simon were also discovered. Simon is associated with Simon bar Kokba, who led a rebellion against Rome at the time. The plates are probably from 137, but are probably copies of the originals that were made in earlier times. In addition to the text, there are pictures and symbols, most of which are associated with the temple in Jerusalem. The pictures depict seven-branched candlesticks, palm trees, eight-pointed stars, bowls with templefern and diagonal crosses as symbols of the early Christian period. Links to the secret Kabbalah script have also been identified, esoteric and mystical script interpretations. In addition, references to coded Bible texts about the sealed books of the Bible of Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation.
Jesus is said to have even known female apostles by his side. Dr. Ziad Al Saad, the former director of the antique collection in Amman, regards the codicil as one of the most important finds of our time. He very much hopes that the codicils will be known throughout the world in the future.
David Elkington is a well-known researcher and says: "The main material is found in nine plates of this book and also describes the beginnings here on earth. The representations are very astronomical in nature with stars. There are three stars on it, like the Sun, which are relevant, with Earth-like planets on it."
He also found the Ra symbol in them. He is convinced that the sun depicted does not mean our sun. "It seems to me as if we were never alone in the universe and we are the offshoots of distant star visitors," he explains thoughtfully.
NASA Death Conspiracy. The warning of an alien invasion? UFOmania. A channel I follow and a great place for some different ideas and new content covering the field of UFO or UFP ‘if you prefer’ research. One story which caught my eye was that of a Female Astronaut who screamed a Warning to Earth Before she attempted to take her own life. This conspiracy theory makes the claim that French astronaut Claudie Haigneré warned the world of an imminent alien invasion minutes before falling into a coma from overdosing on sleeping pills. The strange thing is she is not the only person who has travelled into outer space returned and died under mysterious circumstances. Over the years of space programs, many astronauts and cosmonauts alike have come to an untimely demise. Why is this? What pattern is there to these deaths? Is there something being hidden?
BREAKING: Complex Organic Molecules Discovered on Enceladus For The First Time
BREAKING: Complex Organic Molecules Discovered on Enceladus For The First Time
MICHELLE STARR
The plumes of salty water shooting out of Saturn's ocean moon Enceladus have just ponied up one of the most significant ingredients for habitability: large organic molecules rich in carbon.
It's a discovery that suggests a thin, organic rich film atop the oceanic water table - very similar to the sea surface microlayer here on Earth, which is extraordinarily rich in organic compounds.
And yes, you guessed it. These findings bolster the hypothesis that, deep under its icy crust, Enceladus could be harbouring simple marine life, clustered around the warmth of hydrothermal vents.
Previously, simple organic molecules detected on the little moon were under around 50 atomic mass units and only contained a handful of carbon atoms.
"We've found organic molecules with masses above 200 atomic mass units. That's over ten times heavier than methane.
"With complex organic molecules emanating from its liquid water ocean, this moon is the only body besides Earth known to simultaneously satisfy all of the basic requirements for life as we know it."
Let that sink in for a moment.
One might think that a moon far from the Sun with an ocean covered by a thick crust of ice would be an unlikely place to look for extraterrestrial life, but the case for it is mounting.
Last year, Cassini data revealed the presence of molecular hydrogen in the plumes shooting off the surface of Enceladus - a possible source of which would be the ocean's water reacting with rocks via hydrothermal processes.
That process has been observed here on Earth - around hydrothermal vents, volcanic apertures in the seafloor that spew heat into the surrounding water.
These terrestrial hydrothermal vents are often far from the life-giving light of the Sun, which triggers the photosynthesis on which the vast majority of Earth's life depends.
But the warmth from the vents allows a different process to take place - chemosynthesis. Bacteria around the vents harness chemical energy, such as the reaction between hydrogen sulfide from the vent and oxygen from the seawater, to produce sugar molecules - food.
"Hydrogen provides a source of chemical energy supporting microbes that live in Earth's oceans near hydrothermal vents," said physicist Hunter Waite of the Southwest Research Institute, principal investigator on the Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer.
"Once you have identified a potential food source for microbes, the next question to ask is 'what is the nature of the complex organics in the ocean?' This paper represents the first step in that understanding - complexity in the organic chemistry beyond our expectations!"
The molecules were also detected by Cassini, which sampled an Enceladus plume before it was decommissioned in September of last year.
It then used its Cosmic Dust Analyzer and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer to take measurements, both of the plume and of Saturn's E ring - the planet's second outermost ring, within which Enceladus orbits. It's formed by particles escaping the moon's gravity.
It's possible that a future probe may be able to dive through the plumes, equipped with a high-resolution mass spectrometer, to analyse those molecules in greater detail, and with more advanced technology.
Meanwhile, researchers here on Earth are continuing to observe and experiment on hydrothermal vents in the hopes of advancing our understanding of what life on Enceladus might look like.
And there are a number of proposed missions to actually send a craft to the ice moon to investigate more closely the possibility of life - and maybe even find it. But sadly, none of those are in development yet, so any such mission would still be years away, if it happens at all.
But, based on what we're still continuing to learn from Cassini, the moon is only looking more and more intriguing.
"Even after its end," Glein said, "the Cassini spacecraft continues to teach us about the potential of Enceladus to advance the field of astrobiology in an ocean world."
The research has been published in the journal Nature.
Nasa's Mars InSight mission heads for '7 minutes of terror'
Nasa's Mars InSight mission heads for '7 minutes of terror'
By Jonathan Amos - BBC Science Correspondent, Pasadena
The American space agency Nasa will attempt to put another robotic probe on Mars later.
The InSight landeris being targeted at a flat plain just north of the planet's equator called Elysium Planitia.
It carries a suite of instruments - many of them from Europe - to try to determine the rocky world's internal structure.
Signals from the probe confirming its safe touchdown should be received at 19:53 GMT, give or take a minute.
As with previous surface missions, InSight must survive the "seven minutes of terror" - the time it takes for a probe entering Mars' thin atmosphere at hypersonic speed to slow to walking pace and gently put itself on the ground.
Many have tried; most have failed. "As humanity, as explorers - we're batting at less than 50%," said Nasa's science chief, Thomas Zurbuchen. "Going to Mars is really, really hard."
InSight has some heritage on its side. It will be using the exact same combination of heatshield, parachute and retro-rockets that proved so successful in positioning Nasa's Phoenix probe in Mars "Arctic" in 2007.
Engineers here at mission control on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory campus in California have a quiet confidence in the outcome as a result. That said, they are also very aware of the statistics.
"We've done all the preparations that we can possibly think of to make sure that our entry, descent and landing (EDL) goes as smoothly as we can imagine," explained project manager Tom Hoffman. "But Mars as a planet does not always behave. I think our team is ready; I think the spacecraft is ready. We just don't know if Mars is ready," he told BBC News.
What is the latest status?
The EDL engineers have been closely watching the weather on the Red Planet, looking especially for any dust storms and evidence of high winds that could complicate InSight's passage through the atmosphere.
The probe's trajectory was altered ever so slightly on Sunday, to ensure it is lined up perfectly with the targeted landing zone on Elysium Planitia.
There is very little now that Nasa teams can do to influence the outcome. The whole process is necessarily automated because commands take eight minutes to traverse the 146 million km distance between Mars and Earth. You cannot use a joystick to control a far-off probe.
InSight will transmit messages as it heads down to the surface. These will be relayed back to Earth via two small satellites flying overhead. Radio telescopes at Earth will also be tracking the probe's progress just in case the primary communications link falls over.
Assuming it lands in one piece, InSight is programmed to take a quick picture of its immediate surroundings. This could come back within the first 30 minutes on the surface.

What is different about this mission?
This will be the first probe to dedicate its investigations to understanding Mars' interior.
Scientists want to know how the world is constructed - from its core to its crust. InSight has three principal experiments to achieve this goal.
The first is a package of Franco-British seismometers that will be lifted on to the surface to listen for "Marsquakes". These vibrations will reveal where the rock layers are and what they are made of.
A German "mole" will burrow up to 5m into the ground to take the planet's temperature. This will give a sense of how active Mars still is.
And the third experiment will use radio transmissions to very precisely determine how the planet is wobbling on its axis. Deputy project scientist Suzanne Smrekar uses this analogy: "If you take a raw egg and a cooked egg and you spin them, they wobble differently because of the distribution of liquid in the interior. And today we really don't know if the core of Mars is liquid or solid, and how big that core is. InSight will give us this information."
Why do we need to know this?
Scientists understand very well how Earth's interior is structured, and they have some good models to describe the initiation of this architecture at the Solar System's birth more than 4.5 billion years ago. But Earth is one data point and Mars will give researchers a different perspective on how a rocky planet can be assembled and evolve through time.
InSight chief scientist Bruce Banerdt said: "The small details in how planets evolve are what we think make the difference between a place like Earth where you can go on vacation and get a tan, and a place like Venus where you'll burn in seconds or a place like Mars where you'll freeze to death."
The head ofRussia‘s national space agency has proposed a mission to the moon to verify whether the Americanmoon landingsreally took place.
Dmitry Rogozin responded to a question about whetherNasa’s Apollo programme actually put men on the moon back in the 1960s and 1970s during a conversation with the president of Moldova, Igor Dodon.
He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding Nasa's moon missions are common in Russia.
In a video of their interaction, posted to his 815,000 Twitter followers, Mr Rogozin says: “We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not”.
Nasa’s six well-documented official manned missions to the surface of the Moon, beginning with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in July 1969 and continuing with Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt in December 1972, have been dogged with conspiracy theories.
Vladimir Markin said an enquiry should be launched into the disappearance of original footage from the first moon landing in 1969 and the whereabouts of lunar rock, which was brought back to Earth during several missions.
The International Space Station (ISS) is about 254 miles above the Earth. The inner Van Allen Belt is about 400 miles above the Earth. The radiation levels in the Belts is deadly. The US moon landings were fake. The Russians won't be going to the moon. The Chinese won't be going to the moon. The US never went to the moon.

Russische ruimteagentschap gaat controleren of Amerikanen echt op de maan zijn geweest. Was de Apollomissie een hoax?
Het hoofd van de Russische ruimtevaartorganisatie Roscosmos heeft een missie voorgesteld om te controleren of de Amerikanen echt op de maan zijn geweest.
Dmitri Rogozin gaf tijdens een gesprek met de president van Moldavië, Igor Dodon, antwoord op de vraag of gedurende het Apolloprogramma van de NASA in de jaren zestig en zeventig daadwerkelijk mensen op de maan zijn gezet.
Hij leek het als grap te bedoelen omdat hij grijnsde en zijn schouders ophaalde terwijl hij antwoord gaf, maar complottheorieën rond de maanmissies zijn erg populair in Rusland.
Verdwijning
“We willen ernaartoe vliegen en controleren of ze er al dan niet zijn geweest,” zei Rogozin.
In 2015 pleitte een voormalige woordvoerder van het Onderzoekscomité van Rusland voor een onderzoek naar de maanlandingen van de NASA.
Vladimir Markin zei dat er een onderzoek moest worden ingesteld naar de verdwijning van de oorspronkelijke beelden van de eerste maanlanding in 1969 en maangesteente dat tijdens diverse missies mee terug was genomen naar de aarde.
Stanley Kubrick
Volgens complottheorieën is alles in scène gezet. In veel van de theorieën wordt onder meer cineast Stanley Kubrick genoemd die het jaar voor de eerste maanlanding zijn klassieker ‘2001’ uitbracht.
Kubrick zou de maanlanding op de set van de film hebben vastgelegd.
Basis
De Sovjet-Unie beëindigde haar eigen maanprogramma in de jaren zeventig nadat vier experimentele raketten waren ontploft.
Begin november onthulde Rogozin plannen om na 2025 een basis op de maan te bouwen.

UFO streaking across the sky in front of a thunderstorm in Columbus, Ohio
UFO streaking across the sky in front of a thunderstorm in Columbus, Ohio
The witness who reported the sighting to Mufon says that he observed lightning during a thunderstorm in Columbus, Ohio, which was only seen within the clouds. The clouds lit up several times during the video.
He says that he heard no sounds coming from the lightning and thought that it was unusual that the lightning was only seen within the clouds, and recorded the event.
During the recording some type of flying object can be seen streaking across the sky from left to right.
I noticed this object near the rover looks very similar in shape to a snail...like an old fossil of a Mars Ammonite from its ancient lakes or oceans. Here on Earth, Ammonites lived died out 66 million years ago, but lived as long ago as 200 million years ago. I believe that since it evolved on a different planet, its shape was effected by a different evolution involving different environmental influences. I'm confused at why the NASA rover didn't want to examine it more closely, since it was hovering over some rocks nearby for several days. It would be most interesting to have a paleontologist take a look at the object.

UFO Sighted Over Denver, Colorado, Changes Direction! ( November 24, 2018 ) VIDEO, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 24, 2018
Location of sighting: Denver, Colorado, USA
This video was taken in a UFO hotspot...Denver, Colorado just two days ago. Whats happening here is a drone UFO is creating a cloud tunnel for transportation purposes. The drone creates the tunnel and for some unknown reason the tunnels keep their shape for hours. UFOs will then use the tunnel to fly to the location s that they desire to go. At the end of the tunnel, where its being created, the object changed direction.
Yes, I personally witnessed four such cloud tunnels (side by side) back in 1989-90 in Rapid City, SD and watched the glowing balls of light appear at the tunnels beginning which just happened to be 1km above my parking lot...everyone going to their cars were staring up in awe. The lights appeared one at a time (3X bigger than a B1 bomber) then then the light rolled increased speed moving from slow to fast, faster, then gone...then another orb would appear in a different tunnel and do the same...there was also a rumbling as it moved...like a wooden cart being pulled over a cobblestone road. Saw over 25 in 20 minutes...before I had to leave to work at Ellsworth AFB flight line. Its a base with hundreds of nuclear silos that it controls, and lots of B-1 bombers which I worked on. No, the UFOs were not USAF. I knew everything going on there, even saw the nuclear attack plans made for presentations since I worked with the base commander. Awesome, but never saw it in the news, even though it was seen by thousands of residence.
Scott C. Waring
Some Youtube comments say it was just a meteor...but a meteor is incapable of changing direction so dramatically. It looks like its headed down into the Rocky Mountains...where there have been hundreds of UFO reports coming from...describing white glowing florescent orbs...that even the local government and police officers have reported seeing.
Signals from Mars will take 8 minutes to travel to Earth on Monday. By the time we hear that InSight has reached the top of Mars’ atmosphere, the lander will have already touched down safely … or crashed.
Artist’s concept of MarCO CubeSats – briefcase-sized spacecraft traveling with the InSight mission – relaying data from the InSight lander as it enters the Martian atmosphere.
If you’re at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, it sounds like winning the Super Bowl: cheers, laughter and lots of hollering.
But in the minutes before that, NASA’s InSight team will be monitoring the Mars lander’s radio signals using a variety of spacecraft – and even radio telescopes here on Earth – to suss out what’s happening 91 million miles (146 million km) away.
Because these signals are captured by several spacecraft, they’re relayed to Earth in different ways and at different times. That means the mission team may know right away when InSight touches down, or they may have to wait up to several hours.
Here’s how NASA will be listening for the Mars landing on November 26, 2018.
Radio Telescopes
As the InSight lander descends into Mars’ atmosphere, it will broadcast simple radio signals called “tones” back to Earth. Engineers will be tuning in from two locations: the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy’s facility at Effelsberg, Germany. Their results will be relayed to Mission Control at JPL and to engineers at Lockheed Martin Space in Denver.
These tones don’t reveal much information, but radio engineers can interpret them to track key events during InSight’s entry, descent and landing (EDL). For example, when InSight deploys its parachute, a shift in velocity changes the frequency of the signal. This is caused by what’s called the Doppler effect, which is the same thing that occurs when you hear a siren change in pitch as an ambulance goes by. Looking for signals like these will allow the team to know how InSight’s EDL is progressing.
Mars Cube One (MarCO)
Two briefcase-sized spacecraft are flying behind InSight and will attempt to relay its signals to Earth. Belonging to a class of spacecraft called CubeSats, the MarCOs are being tested as a way for future missions to send home data during EDL.
The MarCOs are experimental technology. But if they work as they should, the pair will transmit the whole story of EDL as it’s unfolding. That might include an image from InSight of the Martian surface right after the lander touches down.
InSight
After it touches down, InSight will essentially yell:
I made it!
Seven minutes later, the spacecraft says it again – but a little louder and clearer.
The first time, it will communicate with a tone beacon that the radio telescopes will try to detect. The second time, it will send a “beep” from its more powerful X-band antenna, which should now be pointed at Earth. This beep includes slightly more information and is only heard if the spacecraft is in a healthy, functioning state. If NASA’s Deep Space Network picks up this beep, it’s a good sign that InSight survived landing. Engineers will need to wait until early evening to find out if the lander successfully deployed its solar arrays.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)
Besides the MarCO CubeSats, NASA’s MRO will be soaring over Mars, recording InSight’s data during descent.
MRO will hold on to the data it records during EDL as it disappears over the Martian horizon. When it comes back around from the other side, it will play back that data for engineers to study. By 23:00 UTC on November 26 (6 p.m. EST), they should be able to piece together MRO’s recording of the landing.
MRO’s recording is similar to an airplane’s black box, which means that it could also prove important if InSight doesn’t successfully touch down.
2001 Mars Odyssey
NASA’s longest-lived spacecraft at Mars will also relay data after InSight has touched down. Odyssey will relay the entire history of InSight’s descent to Mars, as well as a couple of images. It will also relay confirmation that InSight’s solar arrays, which are vital to the spacecraft’s survival, deployed fully. Engineers will have this data just before 01:30 UTC on November 27 (8:30 p.m. EST on November 26).
Odyssey will also serve as a data relay for InSight during surface operations, along with MRO, NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission (MAVEN) and the European Space Agency’s Trace Gas Orbiter.

Bottom line: Here’s how NASA will know the fate of its InSight lander, as it attempts to land on Mars on Monday, November 26, 2018.
