Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Humanoid encounter reported to 911

    Man Calls 911 to Report “7-8 Feet Tall” Humanoid With Wings and Bright Green Eyes

    Oh boy, there’s something strange afoot in middle America. Recently, reports of bizarre flying humanoid creatures have ramped up in the states surrounding the Great Lakes, both current sightings and, as a consequence of the increased attention, reports of past sightings as well. As I’ve written in the past few months, there’s only one paranormal creature that fits the bill. It’s fair to say that Mothman is back in a big way, and he’s as spooky as ever.

    Perhaps I’m getting over-excited, maybe Mothman is just hanging out in a tree somewhere eating donuts,  not scaring anybody. Maybe this is Butterflyman. I don’t know. Maybe this is just what you see when you’ve been up for three days reading about Mothman on the internet. Who can say, really?

    Regardless, we can say that a man from Woodstock, Illinois did call 911 to report a freakishly tall winged humanoid with glowing green eyes, that apparently charged at him, screaming, while he was trying to leave a convenience store.

    Mothman

    He sure is a persistent fellow.

    The investigators at Singular Fortean were alerted to the case by the man himself. He sent them an account of his ordeal, which allegedly occurred on February 28, and asked for their investigative help. He compared it to a sighting that was previously reported in Woodstock, Illinois. Here’s the account of the incident sent to Singular Fortean:

    I was outside Jewel Osco in Woodstock, Illinois and believe to [have seen] the same visual of an unusual being in the McHenry County fairground. It screeched at me then charged the fence, about thirty feet from the fence, it had very bright green eyes, [and] had wings and was all black leathery colored. It ran back towards the woods in the McHenry County fairgrounds. I called [the Woodstock police department] and [they] had county sheriffs respond to the location.

    According to Singular Fortean, investigator Tobias Wayland called the witness at a predetermined time agreed upon by the witness, but was forced to leave a voicemail. The witness has not responded.

    So it’s all nonsense, right? Well that’s where the 911 call comes in. Singular Fortean filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Woodstock police department for all pertinent information and they received a transcript of the 911 call that the unnamed man made to the police department.

    The transcript states that on February 28, 2019, an officer did respond to the Jewel Osco parking lot after the call was made:

    “[The witness] had a sighting of a mysterious creature described as being 7-8 ft tall and wearing all black. [The witness] said the creature charged at him from the fair grounds screeching at him while he was in the Jewel lot and then it retreated. [The witness] named the creature the ‘Dufield Pond Swamp Monster,’ since he had the first sighting with police involvement. Investigation to continue.”

    911 transcript

    The 911 transcript via Singular Fortean

    According to Singular Fortean, the McHenry County Fairgrounds are directly opposite the Dufield Pond Conservation Area, a thickly wooded area comprised of forest and parks. Another witness had reported seeing a large winged humanoid with dark fur emerge from the Dufield Pond Conservation Area on February 22.

    This is the latest in a series of bizarre sightings that have occurred in the states surrounding the Great Lakes. According to Singular Fortean, every state surrounding Lake Michigan has had reports of winged humanoid creatures. They write:

    Witnesses consistently describe a large, gray-or-black bat or bird-like creature—although in a small number of cases the creature was described as insect-like—sometimes with glowing or reflective red, yellow, or orange eyes; and humanoid features such as arms and legs are often reported.  Many of the sightings are also of something seen only briefly or are described only as a flying creature with few details, which leaves open the possibility that a large bird or bird-like being could explain some encounters.

    They ask that any witnesses report their experience to them via their contact page. And if you have seen Mothman, please do report it. Because real or imagined, this is an absolutely fascinating modern paranormal legend.

    Turkish Researchers Discover What Could Be The World’s Oldest Shipwreck

    Turkish archaeologists discover world's 'oldest' Bronze Age shipwreck off Antalya coast

    A team of Turkish underwater researchers have discovered what they believe is the world’s oldest shipwreck from 1600 B.C. According to the Provincial Governor’s Office, the 3,600-year-old Bronze Age shipwreck was found off the shores of the Antalya province in southern Turkey.

    The shipwreck in Urla, Turkey

    The shipwreck was discovered near Urla, Turkey. 

    Image source .

    Members of the Antalya University’s Underwater Research Department discovered the 14-meter-long (or 46 feet) merchant ship with 1.5 tons of copper bullion inside.

    Governor Münir Karaloğlu told reporters that the discovery of the shipwreck, called “Western Antalya Shipwreck” was groundbreaking for underwater archaeology and described it as the “Göbeklitepe” of the underwater world. The archaeological site of Göbeklitepe located in Şanlıurfa has the world’s oldest temple and is quite often referenced to as the ground zero of human history.

    He also mentioned that the items that will be taken from the shipwreck will be put on display at a museum in Kemer district which will be known as “the epicenter of underwater archaeology.”

    The researchers took three-dimensional scans of the bullion on the ship by using sonar surveys, photo-scans, and photographic mosaic. They were able to determine that the bullion were taken from mines in Cyprus, and then molded in the 15th or 16thcenturies B.C. before being put on the ship to transport them either to the Aegean region or the island of Crete. The ship didn’t make its destination as it sank from what they believe was a storm.

    Hakan Öniz, who is one of the researchers from Antalya University, stated, “It was probably caught in the middle of a storm while traveling to the Aegean [northwest of Antalya] region from Cyprus [island south of Antalya]. It was carrying a cargo of copper bullion and type of the bullion helped us date the ship. This may well be the world’s earliest vessel carrying industrial goods.” He then said that a new team with local and international researchers will come together for a five-year project in order to conduct more research on the shipwreck.

    Prior to this recent discovery, the “Uluburun Shipwreck” that dates back to 1400 B.C. was located off the shores of Antalya and was the oldest shipwreck of its kind until now. The items found on the ship are currently being displayed at the Museum of Underwater Archaeology located in the Muğla’s Bodrum district.

    Illustration for article titled Discovery Of 4,000-Year-Old Shipwreck Could Be World's Oldest

    A recent underwater excavation at Turkey's Urla Port has uncovered a ship estimated to date back 4,000 years, which experts say would make it the oldest sunken ship to have ever been discovered in the Mediterranean — and possibly anywhere.

    And just last year, the remains of a Greek merchant ship was discovered off of Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. The shipwreck was from over 2,400 years ago and was said to be the world’s oldest known intact shipwreck…until now.

    Strange Lights in Norway Part of NASA Experiment

    On Friday night, NASA launched two rockets from a spaceport in Norway as part of an experiment to interact with the Northern Lights. The rockets, from the AZURE mission, released visible gases that illuminated the aurora borealis, and created a surreal display as seen in the time-lapse videos above and below.

    Huge mystery object at the heart of our galaxy that is 13 TIMES the size of Jupiter baffles experts who have no idea if it is a planet or a star

    • Experts used Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope and microlensing to find the object
    • They are unsure if OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, as it is known, is even a planet
    • Its mass puts it at the conventional boundary between planets and brown dwarfs
    • It orbits its yellow dwarf parent star approximately once every three years

    Astronomers have discovered a massive alien world circling a star located 22,000 light years away, at the centre of the Milky Way's bulge.

    The object, dubbed OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, is 13 times the size of Jupiter and is so vast that experts are unsure whether it is even a planet.

    Experts used Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope and the light-warping effects of gravity to uncover the mysterious celestial body.

    Although it is orbiting its own star, researchers say 'Planet X' may in fact be a failed star, known as a brown dwarf.

    BROWN DWARFS 

    Brown dwarfs are thought to be the missing link between planets and stars, with masses up to 80 times that of Jupiter. 

    But their centres are not hot or dense enough to generate energy through nuclear fusion the way stars do.

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb's mass puts it right at the deuterium burning limit, the conventional boundary between planets and brown dwarfs. 

    Scientists have found that, for stars roughly the mass of our sun, less than one per cent have a brown dwarf orbiting within three AU.

    One AU is the distance between Earth and the sun. This phenomenon is called the 'brown dwarf desert.'

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb orbits its parent star approximately every three years at a distance of about two AU. 

    The host is a yellow dwarf star, similar to our own Sun, that has 89 per cent of its mass. 

    An international team of researchers, led by Yoon-Hyun Ryu of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute in Daejon, South Korea, reported the find in a paper published on the online print repository Arxiv.org.

    It was made using a technique known as microlensing, that facilitates the discovery of distant objects by using background stars as flashlights.

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb was discovered in June 2016 by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) collaboration.

    OGLE is a Polish astronomical project based at the University of Warsaw, which is searching the universe for dark matter and extrasolar planets. 

    It uses the five foot (1.3 metre) Warsaw telescope mounted at the Las Campanas observatory in Chile.

    The team used readings taken from Nasa's Spitzer space telescope which has uncovered a number of microlensing events, to narrow their search.

    Writing in the paper, its authors said: ‘We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the galactic bulge/bar.

    'It is precisely measured to be right at the edge of the brown dwarf desert. 

    ‘This is somewhere between 13 and 14 Jupiter masses. OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb has about 13.4 Jupiter masses.

    'Since the existence of the brown dwarf desert is the signature of different formation mechanisms for stars and planets, the extremely close proximity of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb to this desert raises the question of whether it is truly a "planet".' 

    Brown dwarfs are thought to be the missing link between planets and stars, with masses up to 80 times that of Jupiter.

    But their centres are not hot or dense enough to generate energy through nuclear fusion the way stars do.

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb's mass puts it right at the deuterium burning limit, the conventional boundary between planets and brown dwarfs.

    Scientists have found that, for stars roughly the mass of our sun, less than one per cent have a brown dwarf orbiting within three AU.

    One AU is the distance between Earth and the sun. This phenomenon is called the 'brown dwarf desert.'

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb orbits its parent star approximately every three years at a distance of about two AU. 

    WHAT IS MICROLENSING? 

    Microlensing is a technique that facilitates the discovery of distant objects by using background stars as flashlights. 

    When a star crosses precisely in front of a bright star in the background, the gravity of the foreground star focuses the light of the background star, making it appear brighter. 

    A planet orbiting the foreground object may cause an additional blip in the star's brightness.

    This technique has found the most distant known exoplanets from Earth, and can detect low-mass planets that are substantially farther from their stars than Earth is from our sun.

    The host is a yellow dwarf star, similar to our own Sun, that has 89 per cent of its mass. 

    The newly discovered planet aids scientists in their quest to figure out the distribution of planets in our galaxy.

    Astronomers still don't know whether there is a difference in the frequency of planets in the Milky Way's central bulge compared to its disk, the pancake-like region surrounding the bulge.

    OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb is located in the disk, as are three planets previously detected through microlensing by Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope.

    Russian Soviet UFO Disclosure Cases

    The history of UFOs and encounters with other-worldly beings includes events from all over the world. Russia — formerly the Soviet Union — has a major part of that history. Its story is dramatic, at times chilling, and always provocative.

    Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere.

    He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?

    First Ever Photo of a Black Hole Wows the World

    The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of the supermassive black hole in the centre of Messier 87 and its shadow.

    An international team of over 200 astronomers, including scientists from MIT’s Haystack Observatory, has captured the first direct images of a black hole. They accomplished this remarkable feat by coordinating the power of eight major radio observatories on four continents, to work together as a virtual, Earth-sized telescope.

    In a series of papers published today in a special issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, the team has revealed four images of the supermassive black hole at the heart of Messier 87, or M87, a galaxy within the Virgo galaxy cluster, 55 million light years from Earth.

    All four images show a central dark region surrounded by a ring of light that appears lopsided — brighter on one side than the other.

    Albert Einstein, in his theory of general relativity, predicted the existence of black holes, in the form of infinitely dense, compact regions in space, where gravity is so extreme that nothing, not even light, can escape from within. By definition, black holes are invisible. But if a black hole is surrounded by light-emitting material such as plasma, Einstein’s equations predict that some of this material should create a “shadow,” or an outline of the black hole and its boundary, also known as its event horizon.

    Based on the new images of M87, the scientists believe they are seeing a black hole’s shadow for the first time, in the form of the dark region at the center of each image.

    Relativity predicts that the immense gravitational field will cause light to bend around the black hole, forming a bright ring around its silhouette, and will also cause the surrounding material to orbit around the object at close to light speed. The bright, lopsided ring in the new images offers visual confirmation of these effects: The material headed toward our vantage point as it rotates around appears brighter than the other side.

    From these images, theorists and modelers on the team have determined that the black hole is about 6.5 billion times as massive as our sun. Slight differences between each of the four images suggest that material is zipping around the black hole at lightning speed.

    “This black hole is much bigger than the orbit of Neptune, and Neptune takes 200 years to go around the sun,” says Geoffrey Crew, a research scientist at Haystack Observatory. “With the M87 black hole being so massive, an orbiting planet would go around it within a week and be traveling at close to the speed of light.”

    “People tend to view the sky as something static, that things don’t change in the heavens, or if they do, it’s on timescales that are longer than a human lifetime,” says Vincent Fish, a research scientist at Haystack Observatory. “But what we find for M87 is, at the very fine detail we have, objects change on the timescale of days. In the future, we can perhaps produce movies of these sources. Today we’re seeing the starting frames.”

    “These remarkable new images of the M87 black hole prove that Einstein was right yet again,” says Maria Zuber, MIT’s vice president for research and the E.A. Griswold Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “The discovery was enabled by advances in digital systems at which Haystack engineers have long excelled.”

    “Nature was kind”

    The images were taken by the Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, a planet-scale array comprising eight radio telescopes, each in a remote, high-altitude environment, including the mountaintops of Hawaii, Spain’s Sierra Nevada, the Chilean desert, and the Antarctic ice sheet.

    The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global network of radio telescopes that work together as one virtual, Earth-sized telescope, with a resolution sharp enough to “see” a black hole’s shadow.

    On any given day, each telescope operates independently, observing astrophysical objects that emit faint radio waves. However, a black hole is infinitely smaller and darker than any other radio source in the sky. To see it clearly, astronomers need to use very short wavelengths — in this case, 1.3 millimeters — that can cut through the clouds of material between a black hole and the Earth.

    Making a picture of a black hole also requires a magnification, or “angular resolution,” equivalent to reading a text on a phone in New York from a sidewalk café in Paris. A telescope’s angular resolution increases with the size of its receiving dish. However, even the largest radio telescopes on Earth are nowhere near big enough to see a black hole.

    But when multiple radio telescopes, separated by very large distances, are synchronized and focused on a single source in the sky, they can operate as one very large radio dish, through a technique known as very long baseline interferometry, or VLBI. Their combined angular resolution as a result can be vastly improved.

    For EHT, the eight participating telescopes summed up to a virtual radio dish as big as the Earth, with the ability to resolve an object down to 20 micro-arcseconds — about 3 million times sharper than 20/20 vision. By a happy coincidence, that’s about the precision required to view a black hole, according to Einstein’s equations.

    “Nature was kind to us, and gave us something just big enough to see by using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques,” says Crew, co-leader of the EHT correlation working group and the ALMA Observatory VLBI team.

    “Gobs of data”

    On April 5, 2017, the EHT began observing M87. After consulting numerous weather forecasts, astronomers identified four nights that would produce clear conditions for all eight observatories — a rare opportunity, during which they could work as one collective dish to observe the black hole.

    In radio astronomy, telescopes detect radio waves, at frequencies that register incoming photons as a wave, with an amplitude and phase that’s measured as a voltage. As they observed M87, every telescope took in streams of data in the form of voltages, represented as digital numbers.

    The MIT Haystack Observatory houses a specialized supercomputer called a correlator, which crunched data generated by the EHT project.

    “We’re recording gobs of data — petabytes of data for each station,” Crew says.

    In total, each telescope took in about one petabyte of data, equal to 1 million gigabytes. Each station recorded this enormous influx that onto several Mark6 units — ultrafast data recorders that were originally developed at Haystack Observatory.

    After the observing run ended, researchers at each station packed up the stack of hard drives and flew them via FedEx to Haystack Observatory, in Massachusetts, and Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, in Germany. (Air transport was much faster than transmitting the data electronically.) At both locations, the data were played back into a highly specialized supercomputer called a correlator, which processed the data two streams at a time.

    As each telescope occupies a different location on the EHT’s virtual radio dish, it has a slightly different view of the object of interest — in this case, M87. The data received by two separate telescopes may encode a similar signal of the black hole but also contain noise that’s specific to the respective telescopes.

    The correlator lines up data from every possible pair of the EHT’s eight telescopes. From these comparisons, it mathematically weeds out the noise and picks out the black hole’s signal. High-precision atomic clocks installed at every telescope time-stamp incoming data, enabling analysts to match up data streams after the fact.

    “Precisely lining up the data streams and accounting for all kinds of subtle perturbations to the timing is one of the things that Haystack specializes in,” says Colin Lonsdale, Haystack director and vice chair of the EHT directing board.

    Teams at both Haystack and Max Planck then began the painstaking process of “correlating” the data, identifying a range of problems at the different telescopes, fixing them, and rerunning the correlation, until the data could be rigorously verified. Only then were the data released to four separate teams around the world, each tasked with generating an image from the data using independent techniques.

    “It was the second week of June, and I remember I didn’t sleep the night before the data was released, to be sure I was prepared,” says Kazunori Akiyama, co-leader of the EHT imaging group and a postdoc working at Haystack.

    All four imaging teams previously tested their algorithms on other astrophysical objects, making sure that their techniques would produce an accurate visual representation of the radio data. When the files were released, Akiyama and his colleagues immediately ran the data through their respective algorithms. Importantly, each team did so independently of the others, to avoid any group bias in the results.

    “The first image our group produced was slightly messy, but we saw this ring-like emission, and I was so excited at that moment,” Akiyama remembers. “But simultaneously I was worried that maybe I was the only person getting that black hole image.”

    His concern was short-lived. Soon afterward all four teams met at the Black Hole Initiative at Harvard University to compare images, and found, with some relief, and much cheering and applause, that they all produced the same, lopsided, ring-like structure — the first direct images of a black hole.

    “There have been ways to find signatures of black holes in astronomy, but this is the first time anyone’s ever taken a picture of one,” Crew says. “This is a watershed moment.”

    “A new era”

    The idea for the EHT was conceived in the early 2000s by Sheperd Doeleman, who was leading a pioneering VLBI program at Haystack Observatory and now directs the EHT project as an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. At the time, Haystack engineers were developing the digital back-ends, recorders, and correlator that could process the enormous datastreams that an array of disparate telescopes would receive.

    “The concept of imaging a black hole has been around for decades,” Lonsdale says. “But it was really the development of modern digital systems that got people thinking about radio astronomy as a way of actually doing it. More telescopes on mountaintops were being built, and the realization gradually came along that, hey, [imaging a black hole] isn’t absolutely crazy.”

    In 2007, Doeleman’s team put the EHT concept to the test, installing Haystack’s recorders on three widely scattered radio telescopes and aiming them together at Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our own galaxy.

    “We didn’t have enough dishes to make an image,” recalls Fish, co-leader of the EHT science operations working group. “But we could see there was something there that’s about the right size.”

    Today, the EHT has grown to an array of 11 observatories: ALMA, APEX, the Greenland Telescope, the IRAM 30-meter Telescope, the IRAM NOEMA Observatory, the Kitt Peak Telescope, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano, the Submillimeter Array, the Submillimeter Telescope, and the South Pole Telescope.

    Coordinating observations and analysis has involved over 200 scientists from around the world who make up the EHT collaboration, with 13 main institutions, including Haystack Observatory. Key funding was provided by the National Science Foundation, the European Research Council, and funding agencies in East Asia, including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The telescopes contributing to this result were ALMA, APEX, the IRAM 30-meter telescope, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano, the Submillimeter Array, the Submillimeter Telescope, and the South Pole Telescope.

    More observatories are scheduled to join the EHT array, to sharpen the image of M87 as well as attempt to see through the dense material that lies between Earth and the center of our own galaxy, to the heart of Sagittarius A*.

    “We’ve demonstrated that the EHT is the observatory to see a black hole on an event horizon scale,” Akiyama says. “This is the dawn of a new era of black hole astrophysics.”

    The Haystack EHT team includes John Barrett, Roger Cappallo, Joseph Crowley, Mark Derome, Kevin Dudevoir, Michael Hecht, Lynn Matthews, Kotaro Moriyama, Michael Poirier, Alan Rogers, Chester Ruszczyk, Jason SooHoo, Don Sousa, Michael Titus, and Alan Whitney. Additional contributors were MIT alumni Daniel Palumbo, Katie Bouman, Lindy Blackburn, and Bill Freeman, a professor in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

    Astronomers Find Evidence of a Planet with a Mass Almost 13 Times that of Jupiter

    In the past three decades, almost 4,000 planet-like objects have been discovered orbiting isolated stars outside the solar system (exoplanets).


    Beginning in 2011, it was possible to use NASA's Kepler Space Telescope to observe the first exoplanets in orbit around young binary systems of two live stars with hydrogen still burning in their core.

    According to physorg. brazilian astronomers have now found the first evidence of the existence of an exoplanet orbiting an older or more evolved binary in which one of the two stars is dead.

    The findings have just been published in the Astronomical Journal, published by the American Astronomical Society (AAS).

    De eerste foto van een zwart gat.

     AP
     De eerste foto van een zwart gat.
     Een hoogdag voor de astronomie: voor het eerst stelden sterrenkundigen een foto van een zwart gat voor. Het resultaat is een foto van een zwart gat dat drie miljoen keer zo groot is als onze aarde, bijna zo groot is als ons volledige zonnestelsel, en 6,5 miljard keer zo zwaar is als de zon. “De zwaargewicht kampioen van alle zwarte gaten in het heelal.” De primeur is weggelegd voor de astronomen van de Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), een internationale samenwerking. “We hebben hetgeen gezien waarvan we dachten dat het onmogelijk was om te zien”, aldus de directeur van EHT. 

    Voor de eerste keer zijn astronomen erin geslaagd om een foto van een zwart gat te maken. Bijzonder, want tot zover had men geen enkel idee hoe zoiets er in werkelijkheid uitziet. Een zwart gat – of een gebied in de astronomische ruimte waar de zwaartekracht zo sterk is dat niets eruit ontsnapt, zelfs geen licht - is vrij abstract. Onderzoekers staarden zich een halve eeuw blind op het fotograferen van een superzwaar zwart gat. 

    Nu dat eindelijk lukte, werd het resultaat wereldwijd met veel trots voorgesteld tijdens zes simultaan georganiseerde persconferenties. De ontdekking zou vergelijkbaar zijn met de maanlanding, en voortaan zal men spreken van “de tijd voor de foto en de tijd na de foto”. 

    Op de foto is een lege ruimte te zien waarrond een heldere ring - bestaande uit fotonen die door de sterke zwaartekracht in een baan rondom het gat gedwongen worden - brandt. In het midden is er een donkere vlek. Dat is de schaduw van de waarnemingshorizon. Daarin verdwijnt het licht. Eigenlijk is het zwart gat dus niet te zien op de foto, maar wel de schaduw daarrond waar al het licht in verdwijnt. 

    Het perfecte plaatje

    Oorspronkelijk zouden er twee foto’s getoond worden. Eentje van Sagittarius A, dat zich in het midden van de Melkweg bevindt. En eentje van een nog groter zwart gat in het midden van Messier 87 (M87), een elliptisch sterrenstelsel in het sterrenbeeld Maagd. De astronomen toonden enkel de foto van Messier 87, met de belofte dat de foto van het zwart gat van ons sterrenstelsel nog zal volgen. 

    Een foto van het zwart gat maken, komt neer op het fotograferen van een mosterdzaadje in Washington DC vanuit Brussel.

    Astronomen van Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)

    Gebrek aan licht

    Aangezien een zwart gat geen licht uitzendt of terugkaatst, was het een heuse uitdaging om er een kiekje van te maken. Geen enkele telescoop is geavanceerd genoeg om een foto te maken. Daarom werd het internationale Event Horizon Telescope opgezet. Dat is een netwerk van acht radiotelescopen op vier continenten en meer dan tweehonderd mensen afkomstig uit minstens achttien landen. Het netwerk van telescopen maakte op exact hetzelfde moment foto’s. Via atoomklokken waren de telescopen op elkaar afgestemd zodat het hele proces synchroon verliep. Uiteindelijk werden de verschillende beelden verzameld en laag per laag samengevoegd. 

    Het zwart gat is zo’n 50 tot 55 miljoen lichtjaar van ons verwijderd. Daar een foto van nemen komt neer op het fotograferen van een mosterdzaadje in Washington DC vanuit Brussel, zo zeiden de sterrenkundigen op de persconferentie in Brussel. Een tweede vergelijking die tot de verbeelding spreekt: vanuit een café in Parijs een krant in New York lezen.

    Zwart gat, wat is dat?

    In 1964 bedacht John Wheeler de term ‘zwart gat’. Maar het zou nog tot 1984 duren voordat het bestaan ervan niet langer in twijfel werd getrokken. Geen wonder, want je kan ze niet zien omdat ze geen licht uitstralen. In een vroeger leven straalde zo’n zwart gat overigens wél licht uit. Een zwart gat is eigenlijk wat overblijft na de explosie van een ster, een ster die veel zwaarder was dan de zon. Tijdens zo’n explosie produceert de ster eventjes zoveel licht als het hele sterrenstelsel waartoe het behoort. Om daarna voor eeuwig zwart te worden. Daarom werden zwarte gaten voor 1964 ‘bevroren sterren’ genoemd. Verder nog wordt de kern van de explosie zo compact dat een zwart gat ontstaat. Omdat er niets aan de zwarte gaten kan ontsnappen - er kan alleen maar wat invallen – groeien ze doorheen de tijd in massa.

    Het waarnemen van zwarte gaten gebeurt indirect, door het gedrag van nabijgelegen sterren of gas te bestuderen. Opnieuw is het gebrek aan licht daar een oorzaak van. De zoektocht naar een goede manier om het bestaan van zwarte gaten aan te tonen, nam dan ook een tijdje in beslag. John Tonry, een sterrenkundige aan het California Institute of Technology, bracht het eerste zwarte gat – op overtuigende wijze - in 1984 in kaart door stersnelheden te meten. Daaruit bleek dat er in de kern van een sterrenstelsel sterren honderd miljoen keer dichter op elkaar gepakt zitten: maak kennis met het zwart gat.

    Wetenschappers ontdekken nieuwe vorm van materie die tegelijk vast en vloeibaar is - HLN.be

     Getty Images
     Vast, vloeibaar of gasvormig: dat zijn de vormen waaronder materie doorgaans voorkomt. Maar wetenschappers hebben ontdekt dat er onder extreme druk en temperaturen ook andere vormen kunnen ontstaan en de recentste is een toestand die tegelijk vast en vloeibaar is.

    “Het zou zijn alsof je een spons vol water vasthoudt, die langzaam begint uit te lopen”, aldus fysicus Andreas Hermann van de universiteit van Edinburgh, die meewerkte aan het onderzoek. “Met dien verstande dat de spons ook van water zou zijn.”

    Het team gebruikte een vorm van artificiële intelligentie om de ontdekking te doen: een toestel dat voorspellingen kan doen op basis van eerdere waarnemingen.

    Het kwam te weten dat de atomen van het element kalium vast en vloeibaar tegelijk kunnen zijn onder een druk van 20.000 tot 40.000 keer de atmosferische druk en een temperatuur tussen 127 en 527 graden Celsius. De atoomketens waaruit kalium bestaat worden dan vloeibaar, terwijl de rest van de kaliumkristallen in een vaste staat blijven. Die omstandigheden komen op aarde voor in de aardmantel, vlak onder de aardkorst.

    Het is de allereerste keer dat wetenschappers erin slagen om te bewijzen dat een dergelijke staat thermodynamisch stabiel is voor om het even welk element. Het onderzoek werd gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

    Supervloeistoffen

    De nieuwe vorm van materie wordt toegevoegd aan een opmerkelijk lijstje van ongewone vormen van materie. Daarin vind je ook plasma (een extreem hete vorm van gas waarin de kernen van de atomen gescheiden worden van de elektronen, zodat ze beïnvloed kunnen worden door elektrische en magnetische velden), superconductoren (metalen die afgekoeld worden tot erg lage temperaturen zodat elektriciteit erdoor kan vloeien zonder weerstand) en supervloeistoffen (een vloeistof die wordt afgekoeld tot het absolute nulpunt zodat ze kan stromen zonder weerstand en zelfs langs de wand van een recipiënt omhoog kan klimmen en langs de buitenkant omlaag kan druppelen) terug.

    Wat weet u nog over het zwarte gat? 5 vragen over het fenomeen beantwoord - HLN.be

     NASA / Dana Berry / SkyWorks Digital.
     Een primeur voor de sterrenkunde: vandaag werd de eerste foto ooit van een zwart gat in het heelal getoond, met dank aan astronomen van het Event Horizon Telescope project. Voor wie zelf met een zwart gat zit ten tijde van die les aardrijkskunde: dr. Alex Lobel (Belgische Sterrenwacht) legt uit wat het precies is en wat deze sterrenkundige primeur betekent voor de wetenschap.

    1. Wat is een zwart gat ?

    Een zwart gat is een gebied in het heelal met zo’n grote zwaartekracht waardoor niets er kan aan ontsnappen. Alles wat dicht bij een zwart gat in de buurt komt, verdwijnt in dat gat en komt er niet meer uit. Ook licht kan niet aan zo’n gat ontsnappen, waardoor de gaten niet zichtbaar zijn. “Het is een zeer grote massa die samengedrukt is,” verduidelijkt Dr. Alex Lobel van de Koninklijke Belgische Sterrenwacht. “Je hebt ze in enorme variaties qua grootte. Het zwarte gat uit ons Melkwegstelsel dat voor dit EHT-project in beeld werd gebracht, is een enorm, massief gat. Zo’n gat kan tot 4,1 miljoen keer de massa van de zon beslaan. Maar je hebt er ook meerdere kleintjes in elk sterrenstelsel.”

    2. Hoe ontstaat een zwart gat ?

    Lobel: “Een zwart gat kan ontstaan wanneer een zware ster zijn levenseinde nadert en verzwakt. Een ster die zwaarder is dan de zon, komt aan zijn einde door een krachtige ‘supernova-explosie’. Daarbij produceert ze een korte tijd heel veel licht, waarbij de kern van de ster kan imploderen en heel compact wordt. Zo blijft een lege ruimte achter, het “zwarte gat”. De term werd eind jaren ’60 bedacht door de Amerikaanse fysicus John Wheeler. Het eerste zwarte gat werd door de Amerikaanse sterrenkundige John Tonry in 1984 in kaart gebracht, door stersnelheden te meten. 

    3. Waarom konden we het nog nooit op foto vastleggen?

    Zwarte gaten zijn - no shit, Sherlock - zwart. Ze zenden zelf geen licht uit en kaatsen het ook niet terug, waardoor je ze niet kan zien. “Wel kan je zwarte gaten indirect waarnemen, door de gedragingen van hemellichamen of gassen in de nabije omgeving van het gat te observeren,” legt Lobel uit. “Zo wordt het gas van een ster in de buurt naar het zwarte gat toe gezogen en zal ze een baan er omheen gaan beschrijven.” Zo’n beweging is bijvoorbeeld zichtbaar door de röntgenstraling die het veroorzaakt en kan je observeren met een röntgentelescoop.

    4. Hoe kunnen wetenschappers een zwart gat nu toch vastleggen op foto? 

    Lobel: “Om dit te kunnen doen, heb je in principe een telescoop nodig die even groot is als de Aarde. Maar dat is niet haalbaar. In plaats daarvan zette Het Event Horizon Telescope project een netwerk van 8 telescopen wereldwijd uit van 14 verschillende wetenschappelijke instellingen. Via atoomklokken zijn de telescopen op elkaar afgestemd om het hele proces synchroon te laten verlopen. Zo kan je haarscherpe beelden krijgen binnen het millimetergebied van zo’n zwart gat.” Een technisch ingewikkeld en uniek project, benadrukt Lobel. “Het is heel bijzonder dat dit nu gebeurt, maar daarom ook arbeidsintensief en prijzig. Het is niet onlogisch dat het zo lang geduurd heeft voor het geprobeerd werd.” 

    5. Wat betekent deze sterrenkundige primeur voor de wetenschap? 

    Zwarte gaten vormen al langer de geheimzinnige exotische vrucht van de wetenschap. Ze nu ook in beeld kunnen brengen, kan nuttig zijn om de relativiteitstheorie van Einstein verder te testen. Lobel: “Zwarte gaten zijn omgevingen met de meest extreme zwaartekrachtomstandigheden van het universum. Daarom zijn ze erg dankbaar om theorieën over die kracht te testen. Zo voorspelt  Einsteins relativiteitstheorie dat op de rand van het zwarte gat de tijd daar stil staat. Maar de theorie is 100 jaar oud. Klopt ze nog, of zijn er aanpassingen nodig? Dat we de zwarte gaten nu ook van dichtbij kunnen bekijken, is een heel dankbare stap om dat verder te bestuderen.”

     Britse en Amerikaanse onderzoekers hebben een nieuwe diersoort ontdekt in een fossiel van 430 miljoen jaar oud. De soort zou verwant zijn aan de zeekomkommer die we vandaag nog kennen en werd Sollasina cthulhu gedoopt, naar het monster uit de verhalen van H.P. Lovecraft.

    De uiterlijke gelijkenis is er dan ook wel. H.P. Lovecraft omschreef Cthulhu als een (fictieve) kolossale monsterlijke godheid met tentakels, die miljoenen jaren geleden op aarde terechtkwam. De pas ontdekte diersoort heeft dan wel maar de grootte van een stevige spin, ze heeft ook tentakelachtige uitsteeksels, waarmee ze zich over de bodem van de oceaan bewoog en voedsel ving.

    Fossiel

    De ontdekking werd gedaan door wetenschappers van de universiteiten van Yale, Oxford en Leicester, het Imperial College London en University College London. Ze publiceerden er een paper over die vandaag verscheen in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

    Het fossiel werd gevonden in het Engelse Herefordshire, aan de grens met Wales. Daar komt Lagerstätte voor, een gesteente dat bijzonder goed bewaarde fossielen bevat en in het verleden al een schatkamer bleek te zijn van gefossiliseerde oude zeewezens. (lees hieronder verder)

     Elissa Martin, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History

    “In onze paper hebben we het over een nieuw soort van stekelhuidigen, waartoe ook de huidige zee-egels, zeekomkommers en zeesterren behoren”, aldus paleontoloog Derek Briggs van de universiteit van Yale. “Ook de weke delen van het dier zijn bewaard gebleven. De nieuwe soort behoort tot een grotere groep die intussen uitgestorven is, de Ophiocistioidea.”

    3D-simulatie

    De wetenschappers slaagden erin om een 3D-simulatie te maken van de nieuwe diersoort, door honderden dwarsdoorsneden te maken van het fossiel – zonder het te beschadigen – en het op die manier laagje per laagje te ontleden. Zo werden interne structuren blootgelegd van het watervatensysteem die voorheen nog onbekend waren. En ontdekten de wetenschappers dat de soort nauwer verwant is met de zeekomkommer dan met de zee-egel.

    “Met het watervatensysteem bewogen ze de tentakelachtige uitsteeksels die ze gebruikten om zich voort te bewegen en voedsel te vangen”, aldus nog Briggs. “In tegenstelling tot bij de huidige stekelhuidigen waren de uiteinden van de tentakels bij de Ophiocistioidea bedekt met plaatjes. Daaruit maken we op dat het om een compleet andere soort ging dan de huidige zeekomkommers.”

    11-Year-Old Astrophysics Genius ‘Proves’ Stephen Hawking Wrong About God

    William Maillis is literally a “genius.” By the time he was only 7 months old, he was already speaking in full sentences. Just before his second birthday, he was adding numbers, and by age 2, he was multiplying them. Now, Maillis is 11 years old, and he enrolled in Carnegie Mellon University last fall with his sights set on becoming an astrophysicist.

    Yet, Maillis is more than just a child prodigy; as the son of a Greek preacher, Peter Maillis, he’s also a person of great faith. The young scholar is on a self-determined mission rooted deeply in his belief: to use science to prove that God exists. No less.

    With all of his remarkable achievements, young Maillis’s “genius” title was made official when Joanne Ruthsatz, a psychologist at Ohio State University, declared it. He graduated from high school at age 9 and more recently became the youngest graduate of St. Petersburg College in July of 2018.

    Nor is the young man from Pennsylvania afraid of challenging established ideas. Maillis claims that he can prove both Einstein and Stephen Hawking wrong when it comes to the topic of the universe’s origin, saying that he disagrees with some of their discoveries. In particular, he disagrees with the idea that there is no God—scientists such as Hawking have declared themselves atheists.

    To drive home the point, Hawking once wrote the following:

    Before we understood science, it was natural to believe that God created the universe, but now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is we would know everything that God would know if there was a God, but there isn’t. I’m an atheist.

    Yet, according to Maillis, it is more logical to say that there is a god than not. He hopes to prove that only an “outside force” could have created the universe, and thus that “God does exist.” Using simple logic, he outlines his general idea:

    Well, because there’s these atheists that try to say that there is no God, when in reality it takes more faith to believe that there’s no God than it does to believe that there is a God … Because it makes more sense that something created the universe than that the universe created itself. It takes more faith to say the universe created itself than to say something other created the universe because that is more logical.

    In an interview with the Hellenic College Holy Cross, he spelled out his (more logical) conclusion in greater detail:

    We know the universe has an age, riht? 13.8 billion years. So, 13.8 billion years ago, the entire universe was reduced to a singularity, a particle smaller than a quark. However, if gravity is always working, i.e.: if you jumped off this building, you’re not going to fall 15 seconds later, you’re going to fall immediately, so, if gravity was always working, and the singularity was always there […] then the universe should have no age, it should be infinitely old. But it’s not, it’s 13.8 billion years old. And something can’t come from nothing, because it would have to exist in order to cause itself to exist, which is illogical. So, therefore, something other must have created the singularity, and that something other me observe as God.

    While surely many of his peers are spending their school days shooting paper wads in class or waiting for the home-time bell to ring, Maillis ponders the larger questions of life and the universe. He explains during a question-and-answer period that after he “proves the existence of God” he wants to continue exploring further. “There’s so much we don’t know,” he says, adding with a smile that “there’s even more things that we don’t know we don’t know!”

    11-jarig wonderkind wil op deze manier bewijzen dat Einstein en Hawking het bij het verkeerde eind hadden

    11-jarig wonderkind wil op deze manier bewijzen dat Einstein en Hawking het bij het verkeerde eind hadden

    William Maillis haalde op 9-jarige leeftijd zijn middelbareschooldiploma en studeerde afgelopen zomer op 11-jarige leeftijd af aan het St. Petersburg College in Florida.

    Hij was de enige student in zijn klas die geen aantekeningen maakte. Hij luistert, leest en neemt alle kennis in zich op.

    Toen hij twee jaar oud was kon William al lezen, schrijven en rekenen. Op zijn vierde leerde hij Grieks en drie jaar later had hij de trigonometrie onder de knie.

    Onjuist

    Het wonderkind wil astrofysicus worden en bewijzen dat God bestaat. Hij wil laten zien dat slechts één externe kracht in staat is het universum te vormen.

    Hij is van plan te laten zien dat de theorieën van wetenschappers als Albert Einstein en Stephen Hawking over het universum, onjuist zijn.

    In een interview met het Hellenic College Holy Cross zei hij:

    We weten hoe oud het universum is, toch? 13,8 miljard jaar. Dus 13,8 miljard jaar geleden was het hele universum niets meer dan een singulariteit, een deeltje kleiner dan een quark. Maar als de zwaartekracht altijd werkt – dus als je van een gebouw springt, val je niet 15 seconden later, maar gelijk – en als de singulariteit er altijd is geweest, dan zou het universum geen leeftijd moeten hebben. Het zou oneindig oud moeten zijn. Maar dat is het niet, het is 13,8 miljard jaar oud. Je kunt niet iets uit het niets maken, omdat het eerst moet bestaan. Iets anders moet dus die singulariteit hebben gecreëerd en dat is God.

    “Er is zoveel dat we niet weten,” zei William. “Maar er zijn nog veel meer dingen waarvan we niet weten dat we ze niet weten!”

    Vrijgegeven CIA-documenten geven uniek inkijkje in topgeheim illegaal project MK-ULTRA. Is dit slechts het topje van de ijsberg?

    Er zijn verontrustende details naar buiten gekomen over geheime experimenten rond hersenspoeling die werden uitgevoerd door de CIA. Decennialang heeft de Amerikaanse overheid geprobeerd documenten hierover te verbergen.

    De nieuwe documenten onthullen hoe de spionagedienst met drugs, hypnose en elektrische apparaten experimenteerde op mensen en dieren.

    De experimenten waren onderdeel van het topgeheime, illegale project MK-ULTRA. Volgens experts is het goed mogelijk dat het project nooit is beëindigd.

    Geheugenverlies

    Eén van de stukken onthult hoe de CIA met drugs experimenteerde op gevangenen die in afwachting waren van hun proces.

    Uit een ander document blijkt dat de spionagedienst methodes uitwerkte om geheugenverlies te veroorzaken bij mensen.

    De CIA werkte verder aan spraaktechnieken die konden worden gebruikt om een grote mensenmassa te hersenspoelen en mensen ontvankelijker te maken voor bepaalde boodschappen.

    Volledig herschrijven

    De dienst was vooral geïnteresseerd in experimenten die normaal gesproken ‘te gevaarlijk, te schokkend of te ongewoon’ werden geacht, aldus een memo uit 1956.

    De stukken zijn boven water gehaald door John Greenewald en op zijn website The Black Vault gepubliceerd.

    Greenewald, die al sinds 1999 probeerde om inzage te krijgen in de documenten, zei dat ze ‘de geschiedenis van het controversiële project volledig herschrijven’.

    Topje van de ijsberg

    “Probeert de CIA nog altijd projecten in de doofpot te stoppen die in de jaren vijftig en zestig hebben plaatsgevonden? Ja,” zei hij.

    Volgens Greenewald is MK-ULTRA slechts het topje van de ijsberg en zijn er nog veel meer van dit soort geheime projecten rond hersenspoeling en manipulatie.

    Large meteor explodes in sky over Siberia in third major space fireball incursion in four months

    By The Siberian Times reporter

    Bright and noisy with a long, sparkling green and yellow tail, it was filmed by multiple observers in Krasnoyarsk region.

    Busy receiving space wanderes, this time a bolide is seen in sky over Krasnoyarsk. Picture: The Siberian Times 

    The phenomenon caused fear on the ground.

    ‘I panicked as it sounded and looked like a plane on fire, I got really scared of the noise and shine it created’, said a local woman from Krasnoyarsk, the large industrial city. 

    ‘I pulled a phone out of a pocket, but it flew across the sky so fast that I only caught a long white trace it left.’

    Some residents said the meteor was blindingly bright, akin  to the light and sparks created during intense welding work. 

    It split into several parts before disappearing in the sky somewhere over Irkutsk region, east of Krasnoyarsk.

    The local ministry of emergencies confirmed it registered a meteor, and said that it didn’t pose a threat to people or infrastructure. 

    It is the third major meteor or meteorite event  in four months. 

    On 18 December a meteor exploded close to Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula with a force ten times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, according to NASA.

    On 15 March a meteorite slammed into Krasnoyarsk region with local reports saying it ‘warmed the air’ and ‘shook the ground’ after streaking across the sky in a green, yellow and orange fireball.

    This came down close to the site of the Tunguska Event in 1911 when a meteor exploded in the atmosphere wiping out 80 million trees, and with the estimated force of 185 Hiroshima bombs. 

    THE THIRD MAJOR SPACE FIREBALL INCURSION IN FOUR MONTHS



    Expert Viktor Grokhovsky from Ural Federal University, studied the videos of the 6 April event and concluded that the recent space guest was a bolide.

    ‘It exploded quite high in the sky somewhere over Irkutsk region,’ he concluded. 

    'It was a bolide that moved with a speed higher than the New Tunguska meteorite (LINK) from Evenkia. 

    ‘Its structure must have been quite loose given that it split into fragments.’

    The latest meteor incursion was spotted by dash cams and eye witnesses around 7 pm on 6 April.

    More Major Meteor Crashes Near Site of 1908 Tunguska Meteor Event

    Why does anyone live in Siberia anymore? True, there haven’t been any massive sinkholes appearing after deafening booms lately, but global warming hasn’t abated and it’s only a matter of time before more permafrost thaws and releases more methane, opening more ground-swallowing lake-forming orifices. Then there’s the meteors … there have been three major meteor events since December 2018 in the Tunguska area. True, none of them compare to the famous Tunguska Event in 1908 which obliterated 2,000 square km (770 square miles) of forest, so some Siberians may be thinking that – like with never-the-same-spot-twice lightning strikes or 100-year-floods – it’s safe to live there again. That feeling was obliterated too last week when two huge fireballs flew over the same area and one crashed to Earth, causing experts to call it the “New Tunguska” meteorite. Has the mass exodus to Moscow started yet?

    I panicked as it sounded and looked like a plane on fire, I got really scared of the noise and shine it created. I pulled a phone out of a pocket, but it flew across the sky so fast that I only caught a long white trace it left.

    A woman from Krasnoyarsk described the daytime April 6 fireball to The Siberian Times, which reports there were many witnesses and many photographs and videos of the event. (View photos herevideo here.)The local ministry of emergencies a usual said there was nothing to worry about since it didn’t pose a threat to people or infrastructure. That’s probably what the government officials living upstream of Tunguska said of the meteor passing overhead in 1908.

    It was a bolide that moved with a speed higher than the New Tunguska meteorite (LINK) from Evenkia. Its structure must have been quite loose given that it split into fragments.

    Viktor Grokhovsky from Ural Federal University joined the “too late to worry about it now” crowd in pointing out that the April 6 bolide broke apart in the atmosphere. That’s not what happened on March 15 however.

    I was home when I heard loud thunder which sounded like an explosion. There was a huge glow, floor trembled and dry branches fell of a birch tree in the yard. I panicked and called my brother who lives some 300 metres away. He said he wondered if this was a plane crash.”

    Natalia Moskvitina, head of the Uchami, Evenk, village in Northern Siberia described the meteor to the Siberian Times.That nighttime green, yellow and orange fireball was also seen and recorded by many witnesses. (View photos here.)  Of course, who listens to witnesses and local officials? NGS24.RU news quoted Viktor Grokhovsky:

    “I think it was a meteoroid no larger than a meter in size. Unlike the Chelyabinsk meteorite, it moved at a slower speed.

    Grokhovsky compared it to the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteorite which injured over 1,000 people. The New Tunguska couldn’t possibly injure that many because there’s only 97 native Evenks living in Uchami. However, it did punch a big hole in the one-meter thick ice on the Podkamennaya Tunguska river and officials verified that at least one fragment is in it and will be searched for when the weather warms (one weekend in July).

    Summer is here!

    And don’t forget the December 18 meteor which exploded near the Kamchatka peninsula with a force ten times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb yet wasn’t reported until months later, even though it probably measured up to 100 meters in diameter. Apparently there were no officials in the area to say “Nothing to worry about.”

    Is there something to worry about? Is Siberia becoming some kind of meteor magnet?


    Lake Cheko in the Siberian region of Tunguska has recently emerged as a candidate for an “impact site” linked to the famous Tunguska explosion of 1908.

    new state of matter is both liquid and solid.

    Bizarre New State of Matter Is Both Liquid and Solid

    Everyone knows the three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Most are probably aware that plasma is a word that means something. Yet there are other, more exotic states of matter that exist in extreme circumstances. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have recently confirmed the existence of a bizarre new state of matter that is both a liquid and a solid. This discovery couldn’t have been more perfectly timed than early April, lovingly referred to up here in New England as “mud season.”

    This new state of matter is far stranger than mud. Which isn’t that high a bar, admittedly, but it’s pretty strange. The liquid/solid hybrid state of matter was observed in potassium atoms under extreme pressure. When compressed to extremes, the potassium crystallized into a strange and surprising state—a “chain-melted” state— that managed to act as both a liquid and a solid. What does that mean? Described as a “leaky crystal,” holding a chunk of this chain-melted potassium—although at the extreme pressures needed, your hand would be completely pulverized— would look like a solid block that slowly dripped molten potassium until it completely vanished.

    One of the co-authors of the study, Andreas Herrman, a compressed matter physicist at the University of Edinburgh, illustrates it another way:

    It would be like holding a sponge filled with water that starts dripping out, except the sponge is also made of water.

    Sponge

    It’s sponges all the way down.

    It is believed that potassium and other similar metals could exist in this state deep under the earth’s mantle, where the pressure and temperature is extreme enough to do weird things to them.

    This isn’t the first time this state of matter had been observed, but until now scientists were divided on what they had observed. The first observation of this strange new state of matter happened 15 years ago, when scientists observed the phenomenon occurring in sodium atoms. Sodium crystals are normally extremely conductive to electricity and heat, but scientists discovered that when pushed to extreme conditions—20,000 times the pressure of the earth’s surface—sodium transformed from a silver block to a transparent crystal that became resistant to  electricity. Scientists didn’t know what to make of it and weren’t sure if this constituted a new state of matter or not.

    Salt crystal

    Squeeze this bad boy hard enough and it’ll start being weird.

    The recent experiments with potassium confirmed it. After observing the chain-melted state in small groups of atoms, the team used artificial intelligence to simulate how groups of potassium atoms in the tens of thousands would behave. The simulations confirmed that what they were observing was the first example of a chain-melted element being thermodynamically stable.

    Besides just being pretty cool, this discovery will help scientists model how elements behave at these high temperatures and pressures. Which, of course, doesn’t have much of a bearing on me or you, but our comfy little oasis on planet earth is an anomaly in the universe. Most of the matter in the universe is contained in stars and planets and subject to the conditions that we don’t have to deal with. So this discovery will allow scientists a much more detailed understanding of how those stars and planets—including our own—operate. And the rest of us? We get to deal with mud season.

    An Ancient “Fast-Food” Counter And A 2,500-Year-Old High Priest

    Archaeologists have discovered a well-preserved “fast food” counter in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. Around 150 thermopolia (or snack bars) have already been discovered around the city and they were primarily used by poor locals who didn’t have cooking facilities in their homes. Coarse bread with salty fish, lentils, baked cheese, and spicy wine were the typical items found on the menus. Unfortunately for the less fortunate citizens who had no choice but to eat at the “fast food” counters, they were mocked and scorned by the more elite residents.

    The 2,000-year-old relic with a beautifully frescoed counter was found in Regio V, which is a 54-acre site located north of the archaeological park. There were other relics found in that area which includes a very well-preserved fresco with the image of the mythological hunter Narcissus looking at his own reflection in a pool of water. Remains of two women and three children were also discovered, as well as the remains of a harnessed horse and saddle. These recent findings in Pompeii are the most comprehensive excavations in that area since the 1960s.

    Pompeii

    Pompeii is one of the world’s most visited archaeological sites. The city was destroyed in 79 A.D. by a devastating volcanic eruption that killed over 2,000 residents. But later in the 16thcentury, the ruins were found with the first excavations taking place in 1748.

    You can see pictures of the ancient “fast food” counter by clicking here.

    Dozens of thermopolia, or snack bars, have been found across Pompeii.

    In other news, people from all around the world saw history being made on Sunday, April 7, 2019 when Egyptian archaeologists and other researchers discovered a 2,500-year-old mummy of a high priest on the live television event, “Expedition Unknown: Egypt Live”. They not only found the mummy of the high priest, but also two other mummies as well as several antiquities including a wax head. They believe that the wax head is that of one of the high priests called “Irt Hrw”. In fact, the head is the exact cast of a high priest mummy from 2,500 years ago.

    The episode was filmed in a labyrinth of underground tombs and inner chambers of a remote burial site called Al-Ghorifa which is around 165 miles south of Cairo, Egypt. The live broadcast was viewed by millions of people worldwide who watched as host Josh Gates, Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, and several other researchers made the historic discoveries.

    Egyptian Sarcophagus (not the one mentioned in this article)

    In addition to the mummy of a powerful high priest, two other mummies that are believed to be connected to each other were found. One of the mummies, based on the artifacts that were discovered near the body, was that of a female. The second mummy was found inside of the “Family Tomb” which was the resting place of a whole family dating back 2,500 years. Other items found in the Family Tomb were the remains of a family dog, an ancient Egyptian board game, and four canopic jars that were used to hold the organs of the mummy. The inscriptions found on his sarcophagus indicate that the second mummy was a male singer in the temple of Thoth who is an Egyptian god.
