Why This Martian Full Moon Looks Like Candy
Why This Martian Full Moon Looks Like Candy
These three views of the Martian moon Phobos were taken by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter using its infrared camera, THEMIS. Each color represents a different temperature range.

For the first time, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter has caught the Martian moon Phobos during a full moon phase. Each color in this new image represents a temperature range detected by Odyssey's infrared camera, which has been studying the Martian moon sinceSeptember of 2017. Looking like a rainbow-colored jawbreaker, these latest observations could help scientists understand what materials make up Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons.
Odyssey is NASA's longest-lived Mars mission. Its heat-vision camera, the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), can detect changes in surface temperature as Phobos circles Mars every seven hours. Different textures and minerals determine how much heat THEMIS detects
This movie shows three views of the Martian moon Phobos as viewed in visible light by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. The apparent motion is due to movement by Odyssey's infrared camera, Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), rather than movement by the moon.

"This new image is a kind of temperature bullseye — warmest in the middle and gradually cooler moving out," said Jeffrey Plaut, Odyssey project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, which leads the mission. "Each Phobos observation is done from a slightly different angle or time of day, providing a new kind of data."
On April 24, 2019, THEMIS looked at Phobos dead-on, with the Sun behind the spacecraft. This full moon view is better for studying material composition, whereas half-moon views are better for looking at surface textures.
"With the half-moon views, we could see how rough or smooth the surface is and how it's layered," said Joshua Bandfield, a THEMIS co-investigator and senior research scientist at the Space Sciences Institute in Boulder, Colorado. "Now we're gathering data on what minerals are in it, including metals."
Iron and nickel are two such metals. Depending on how abundant the metals are, and how they're mixed with other minerals, these data could help determine whether Phobos is a captured asteroid or a pile of Mars fragments, blasted into space by a giant impact long ago.
These recent observations won't definitively explain Phobos' origin, Bandfield added. But Odyssey is collecting vital data on a moon scientists still know little about — one that future missions might want to visit. Human exploration of Phobos has been discussed in the space community as a distant, future possibility, and a Japanese sample-return mission to the moon is scheduled for launch in the 2020s.
"By studying the surface features, we're learning where the rockiest spots on Phobos are and where the fine, fluffy dust is," Bandfield said. "Identifying landing hazards and understanding the space environment could help future missions to land on the surface."
Odyssey has been orbiting Mars since 2001. It takes thousands of images of the Martian surface each month, many of which help scientists select landing sites for future missions. The spacecraft also serves an important role relaying data for Mars' newest inhabitant, NASA's InSight lander. But studying Phobos is a new chapter for the orbiter.
"I think it's a great example of taking a spacecraft that's been around a very long time and finding new things you can do with it," Bandfield said. "It's great that you can still use this tool to collect groundbreaking science."
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. THEMIS was developed by Arizona State University in Tempe in collaboration with Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing. The THEMIS investigation is led by Philip Christensen at Arizona State University. The prime contractor for the Odyssey project, Lockheed Martin Space in Denver, developed and built the orbiter. Mission operations are conducted jointly from Lockheed Martin and from JPL, a division of Caltech in Pasadena.
If aliens can watch us how can they be less advanced?
If aliens can watch us how can they be less advanced?
While theories come and go, facts don't, and the fact is, aliens, as they are called these days, are not really aliens. They have been and are very much an integral part of human civilization that we live in today.
As a result of increasing number of UFO sightings, recently we have seen number of theories floating in the cyberspace strongly proposing aliens do in fact exist. One such theory suggests that aliens exist but are hiding from human beings on this planet. It also proposes number of reasons for such behavior of the aliens.
The “Zoo theory”, proposed by an MIT astronomer, John A. Ball, suggests that “aliens might be living in some distant galaxy, and they know about the existence of humans, but still, they are purposefully hiding from us and avoiding contact with humans. The theory further states that aliens aren’t still advance enough. Therefore they don’t interfere with our activity, similar to zookeepers at a zoo or nature preserve.”
“I suggest, first, that mankind is neither alone nor number one. Advanced civilizations exist and exert some degree of control over the galaxy. Second, they’re aware of us at least at some level. But are they concerned with us? We may be only an obscure entry in their tabulation of inhabited regions of the galaxy. Third, we’re unaware of them because either they want us to be unaware| they’re hiding (But this means that they care about us, else why bother to hide?)|or because we’re not (yet) clever enough to know that they’re there, but they don’t care whether we know,” Ball said. (Source)
While theories come and go, facts don’t, and the fact is, aliens, as they are called these days, are not really aliens. They have been and are very much an integral part of human civilization that we live in. Vedic science has talked about extraterrestrials and civilizations beyond our planet and galaxy thousands of years back.
The difference, however, is the descriptions of such aliens. Almost always, when people discuss about aliens, they only refer to those weird drawings with big eyes and out-of-shape heads. This is misleading or, at the best, inaccurate.
These drawings may be based on some reported UFO crash in the past and may be appropriate from that point of view, but the extraterrestrials or celestial beings residing in the upper planetary systems and described in the Vedic texts are entirely human-like with much more impressive looks and capabilities. Even some of those living in the lower planetary systems are also human-like. There also are weird looking living beings in the universe.
There are incidents recorded in the history of India, previously known as Bharat varsh, when celestial beings came to our planet. One such incident was when Lord Krishna crushed the false pride of the king of heaven, Indra. Realizing his mistake, he personally came down to Vrindavan and apologized to Lord Krishna. In another incident, Lord Brahma, the chief engineer and secondary creator of this universe, came to meet Lord Krishna in Dwarka. These are not imaginary stories as proposed by less intelligent class of people whose limited brain substance and knowledge of the world they live in do not allow them access to such phenomena. There are literally thousands of incidents and even today we can see the proof of those visits.
If aliens can watch us how can they be less advanced considering we aren’t able to watch them? While the Zoo theory is one step ahead of the mainstream science, it does not perform when viewed from Vedic perspective.
It is true that many civilizations spread across the universe are technically more advanced than us, the earthly beings. This being the case, it is also true that they watch us closely. They do not respond to our radio signals does not mean they are afraid of us. It means either our radio signals don’t reach them, don’t speak their language, or they don’t bother to respond considering modern scientists rookies in interplanetary communications.
It is to be noted that the language of the Vedas, Sanskrit, has been rated by many scientists around the world as the most sophisticated and versatile language for interplanetary communication. This makes perfect sense considering the Vedic scriptures have records of such communications and interstellar transportation.
Sending out radio signals in search of other civilizations may be a way to find them, chanting Vedic hymns written in Sanskrit language is a sure way to not only reach such advanced civilizations but also interact with them and meet them. This was a common practice during the Vedic era and devotees used to chant Vedic mantras to invoke the blessings of different demigods and of the Supreme Lord. The vibrations created by properly chanted Vedic mantras travel across galaxies and meet the right audience. In Kaliyuga, however, the ability to chant such mantras is almost lost and so we are advised by the Vedas to just chant the holy names of the Lord.

GIMBAL: AUTHENTICATED UAP VIDEO
GIMBAL: AUTHENTICATED UAP VIDEO
UNPRECEDENTED HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
GIMBAL is the first of three US military videos of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) that has been through the official declassification review process of the United States government and has been approved for public release. This footage, and all official USG footage you will see on TTS Academy’s Community of Interest (COI), comes with essential chain-of-custody documentation validating that it is received in its original and unaltered form and is authentic. The US Department of Defense uses this process in order to meticulously ensure that information and material retain their integrity without revealing sources and methods.
This documentation is what sets this footage apart from anything else that has previously made its way to the public domain, by establishing its authenticity and thereby giving it enormous historical significance.
While that fact alone is of historical significance, what this 34 seconds of video provides is remarkable. Several key observations are contained in this one video that may help us collectively better understand the physics and technology being employed. In addition, we hear US fighter pilots struggling to determine the nature of object. Key findings include:
Low observability in both electro-optical and electromagnetic spectrums.
No distinguishable flight surfaces.
Lack of obvious propulsion system.
Never-before-seen flight capabilities.
Possible energy or resonance field of unknown nature.
The filename “GIMBAL” seems to be traceable to the unusual maneuvering of the UAP.
BACKGROUND
GIMBAL is a product of one of the most sophisticated tracking systems on US military aircraft. It was captured by a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet using the Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod. The ATFLIR contains the most advanced sensors and powerful tracking lasers on the market and must be operated by a weapons sensor operator who the military trains at a cost of millions. The ATFLIR has high resolution and can locate and designate targets at distances exceeding 40 nautical miles.
The date, location, and other information have been removed by the originating authority as part of the release approval process.
The GIMBAL footage shows what was on display in the cockpit for the pilots of the Super Hornet. Here are the major features and what they mean:
Description of HUD (Heads Up Display) seen in the GIMBAL video as filmed by a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet using the Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod.
ANALYZING THE VIDEO
As the video starts, this is what the pilots observe from inside their cockpit:
The sensor is in “white-hot” mode—white elements in the display are warmer than the dark, or cooler, areas. The UAP appears as a white shape in the middle of the screen.
The chasing aircraft is in a left-hand turn flying Mach 0.58 at an altitude of 25,010 feet.
The UAP is flying slightly below 2 degrees and 54 degrees to the left of the Super Hornet, traveling right to left.
Looking closely, we can see a dark, or opaque field that appears to surround or encapsulate the object.
The pilots aboard the Super Hornet are not only highly capable fighter pilots, but they are trained observers skilled at scrutinizing their observations and targets in order to ascertain “friend or foe.” They are specifically trained to look for discreet changes in shape, size position, flight attitude (angles), and speed in order to determine the nature of the threat. They are able to discern nuanced details that few people would normally recognize. Paramount to their training is their ability to handle stress and maintain radio discipline. In the footage audio, they are clearly struggling to understand what they are witnessing.
At 0:03, in the first radio transmission, we hear one of the pilots state that it is “a [expletive] drone” aircraft.
At 0:06, upon further observation, a different observer calmly states, “There is a whole fleet of them. Look on the ASA (radar display).” The first observer responds with “My gosh!” It is important to note that the ATFLIR has only a single object in its display. The radar is simultaneously providing the pilots a picture of the larger air space, where they are tracking multiple targets.
At 0:11, it is noted that “They are all going against the wind. The wind is 120 knots (138 mph) out of the west.” We can see that the speed and altitude of the object is unusual for any drone-type aircraft. On that information alone, the likelihood of an entire fleet of drones capable of operating under this scenario is highly improbable and would require resources only few nations could afford.
In the midst of this exchange, the sensor is switched from “white-hot” to “black-hot.” The imaging of the object is now much clearer. It has a distinct shape: a distorted oval with small protrusions from the top and bottom. The object’s opaque aura is now also very distinct: a “cool” glow that extends about a body thickness around the entire object. There appears to be no observable flight surfaces or exhaust plume, nor any typical components usually associated with conventional aircraft.
“Look at that thing, dude.” The observer is clearly surprised at what is being seen.
At 0:24, the object makes a small, but very sharp, altitude change, possibly indicating it may be operating in a vacuum environment. Its direction and speed remain unchanged despite the continuous 120-knot headwind it is encountering.
“That’s not [unintelligible] is it?”
At 0:27, the object begins a series of distinct rotations and changes orientation by almost 100 degrees. Its orientation is now perpendicular to the horizontal plane despite the headwinds. This maneuver is executed in a manner that is inconsistent with current principles of aerodynamics, and possibly indicative of a vacuum environment. As the video concludes, the object's orientation and performance seem to defy current principals of physics to include atmospheric resistance and normal aerodynamic forces. During the orientation change, it also slows to a near stop, but does not change altitude.
One observer states, “Look at that thing!”
Another observer says, “It’s rotating.”
IMPLICATIONS
With the chain-of-custody documentation, GIMBAL can officially be designated as credible, authentic “evidence” of a UAP. Evidence of a flying vehicle with a shape normally associated with something out of science fiction. Currently there are no other known technologies that we can compare to what is being observed in both performance and design, which means there’s a craft that demonstrates flight characteristics unlike anything we know, understand, or can duplicate. Because we cannot duplicate these flight characteristics, we can conclude that the object is employing technologies that are more advanced than our own.
GIMBAL is just one of several official videos obtained by TTS Academy that can be interpreted as credible proof that the physics of advanced flight exists. We are also in the process of collecting additional data from both military and civilian personnel and sensors. The question now changes from “Can it be done?” to “How is it done?”

Blue Origin is now in the running to put Americans back on the moon by 2024. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has revealed the ambitious next steps for his aerospace company at a highly-secretive media event in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. On stage, Bezos took the wraps off a massive model of what will be the firm’s first lunar lander, dubbed Blue Moon
'It's time to go back to the moon, this time to stay,' Bezos said during the event, according to CNN, mirroring a statement made repeatedly over the past few months by NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
Blue Origin says its lunar lander will be able to carry all sorts of payloads to the surface and can hold ‘multiple metric tons.’
The craft will ’enable a sustained human presence on the moon,’ the company said. And, according to the CEO, the company already has about six customers.
The lander builds upon technology the firm has been testing over the past few years in its New Shepard rocket, including propulsion and precision guidance, as well as the vertical landing system. The firm has quietly been developing Blue Moon for years.
According to CNN, Blue Origin is also developing a new rocket engine specifically for its planned moon landings. The system, called BE-7, has been in the works for three years.
Blue Origin says it could conduct the first test fire as soon as this summer.
Bezos also delved into his visions for human colonization of the moon and eventually, deep space, touching on the concept of self-sustaining ‘O’Neill colonies’ exponentially larger than the International Space Station where humans and animals could live.

Earth’s resources alone won’t be able to sustain humanity forever even with energy conservation, the mogul noted during the event, according to CNN.
Considering the possibility of a future that relies on strict rationing, Bezos suggests we must look toward space in order to continue thriving.
‘That’s the path that we would be on,' he said,’ according to CNN.
‘It would lead for the first time to where your children and grandchildren have worse lives than you. That's a bad path.
The event was first teased last month in a cryptic tweet from the Blue Origin Twitter account, where it shared an image of explorer Ernest Shackleton's Endurance, a polar exploration ship lost to the ice in in 1915.
Additionally, in a notice sent to the reporters, the company said it 'will give an update on [Blue Origin's] progress and share our vision of going to space to benefit Earth.'

WHAT IS THE BLUE MOON LANDER?
Blue Origin unveiled its lunar lander during a secretive event in May
Jeff Bezos has revealed his space exploration company's new lunar lander, dubbed Blue Moon.
The spacecraft is capable of carrying and delivering payloads to the moon's surface.
'This is an incredible vehicle and it's going to the moon,' Bezos said.
Blue Origin has long called out a mission to the moon as one of its foremost priorities and spent the past three years working to develop the craft.
It harnesses many of the same 'propulsion, precision guidance, vertical landing and landing gear systems' utilized by New Shepard, Blue Origin's rocket meant to ferry humans to the moon.
The craft is equipped with fuel cells to provide 'kilowatts of power' that are capable of lasting for long-distance missions.
Once Blue Moon arrives at its destination, it uses machine learning algorithms to land with precision on the lunar surface.
Blue Moon can deliver several metric tons of payload to the moon, thanks to its top deck and lower bays, the latter of which will allow for 'closer access to the lunar surface and off-loading,' the firm said.
With this technology, Blue Origin hopes it will prepare us to be able to send humans back to the moon as soon as 2024.
The spacecraft is capable of carrying and delivering payloads to the moon's surface. 'This is an incredible vehicle and it's going to the moon,' Bezos said
Blue Origin also shared a copy of the 'Earthrise' photo taken by NASA astronauts during the Apollo 8 mission, in addition to the image of Endurance it tweeted out.
Several Blue Origin fans were quick to point out that the image of Endurance may be an obscure reference to a future lunar mission. As it turns out, they were correct.
A crater located on the south pole of the moon, called Shackleton, was named after the famed explorer, suggesting that Bezos may have some lunar-related announcements up his sleeve.
The Shackleton crater is located in the expansive South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the largest known impact craters in the solar system, that spans 1,600 miles and is approximately eight miles deep.
Scientists have long had their eye on the Aitken Basin, as they believe it could hold a bounty of life-sustaining resources.
NASA hopes to conduct a mission to the moon's south pole as soon as 2024, while China's Chang'e 6 lander aims to explore the lunar south pole.
Many scientists are eyeing this area of the moon as they believe it could be host to huge sheets of ice that could be mined for drinking water or converted into hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel or oxygen to breathe.

NASA'S PLAN TO PUT HUMANS BACK ON THE MOON
NASA could have humans back on the moon within the next five years under the latest orders from the Trump administration.
Vice President Mike Pencerevealed the new deadline during a speech at the fifth meeting of the National Space Council in Huntsville, Alabama today, where he told an audience that the president wants astronauts to touch down on the lunar south pole by 2024.
The VP called on NASA to ‘reignite the spark of urgency’ for space exploration and make it a priority to set ‘bold goals’ and stay on schedule.
This accelerated timeline, however will undoubtedly be met with many challenges; just weeks ago NASA said it was on schedule to have humans on the moon by 2028 – a full four years later than the new target. turn, it could help sustain future human colonies on the moon.
IN Blue Origin has also discussed its plans to build and launch a lunar lander, revealing concept images of the spacecraft in 2018.
'The future will be better for our children - and our children's children - if we use space to benefit life on Earth and enable millions of people to live and work in space,' the company said.
'The next logical step in this path is a return to the Moon. To do this we need reusable access to the lunar surface and its resources.'
As part of the mission, referred to as Blue Moon, the company hopes to deliver cargo to the moon's surface, as well as scout for sources of water.
Blue Origin is also part of The Moon Race, a non-profit that aims to establish a new competition, enlisting teams to develop ways to produce energy, grow food and establish infrastructure on the moon in exchange for cash prizes.
The Moon Race has also attracted support from Airbus and the European Space Agency.
Today's announcement could eventually tie into an expected update on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket.
New Glenn is the company's orbital rocket that it hopes to launch into space in 2021, though Blue Origin has released few details about the vehicle.
It's thought that the heavy-lift launch rocket could help Blue Origin complete a mission to the moon.
Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket lands on May 2nd after its 11th successful test flight into space. The rocket has been eyed as a vehicle to deliver humans to the edge of space
The company has yet to conduct test flights of New Glenn and it has not been seen publicly.
Meanwhile, a smaller rocket named New Shepard is envisioned to deliver humans to the edge of space later this year.
Blue Origin conducted its 11th successful launch and landing of the New Shepard rocket earlier this month.
The company faces stiff competition from a range of players, including Elon Musk's SpaceX and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, which some have coined the 'billionaire space race.'
THE BILLIONAIRE SPACE RACE
Jeff Bezos in front of Blue Origin's space capsule
Jeff Bezos' space tourism project with Blue Origin is competing with a similar programme in development by Space X, the rocket firm founded and run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Virgin Galactic, backed by Richard Branson.
Bezos revealed in April 2017 that he finances Blue Origin with around $1 billion (£720 million) of Amazon stock each year.
The system consists of a pressurised crew capsule atop a reusable 'New Shepard' booster rocket.
The richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos is pursuing Blue Origin with vigour as he tries to launch his 'New Glenn' rocket into low-Earth orbit by 2020.
Whilst Bezos is yet to leave the atmosphere of Earth, despite several successful launches, Elon Musk's SpaceX programme has already sent the Falcon Heavy rocket into space.
On February 6 2018, SpaceX sent the rocket towards the orbit of Mars, 140 million miles away.
On board was a red Tesla roadster that belonged to Musk himself.
Elon Musk with his Dragon Crew capsule
SpaceX have won several multi-million dollar contracts from Nasa as the space agency hopes to use the rockets as a fast-track for its colonisation of the red planet.
It has successfully sent a Dragon capsule to the ISS and undocked without a hitch.
NASA has already selected two astronauts who will be on-board the first manned Dragon mission.
Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic successfully conducted two test flight of the Virgin Galactic’s Unity spaceplane.
The first took place in December 2018 and the latest took place on February 22nd.
The flight accelerated to over 2,000 miles per hour (Mach 2.7).
More than 600 affluent customers to date, including celebrities Brad Pitt and Katy Perry, have reserved a $250,000 (£200,000) seat on one of Virgin's space trips,
The billionaire mogul also said he expects Elon Musk to win the race to Mars with his private rocket firm SpaceX.
Richard Branson with the Virgin Galactic craft
SpaceShipTwo can carry six passengers and two pilots. Each passenger gets the same seating position with two large windows - one to the side and one overhead.
The space ship is 60ft long with a 90inch diameter cabin allowing maximum room for the astronauts to float in zero gravity.
It climbs to 50,000ft before the rocket engine ignites. SpaceShipTwo separates from its carrier craft, White Knight II, once it's passed the 50-mile mark.
Passengers become 'astronauts' when they reach the Karman line, the boundary of Earth's atmosphere.
The spaceship will then make a sub-orbital journey with approximately six minutes of weightlessness, with the entire flight lasting approximately 1.5 hours.
Telescopes and spacecraft are already watching the skies for potentially hazardous asteroids, but what could be done to actuallydeflect a dangerous objectheading toward Earth?
The upcoming mission, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), will send a spacecraft to crash into an object typical of the size of those asteroids that could pose a threat to Earth. According to NASA, almost one-sixth of the known near-Earth asteroids (NEA) are multiple-body or binary systems, and DART will travel to one such system to perform its mission.
The overall goal of the mission — which will conduct its crash test in about two years — is to gauge what future tools can successfully deflect the orbit of a potentially hazardous asteroid. The mission is led by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) and is managed by the Planetary Missions Program Office at Marshall Space Flight Center for NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
DART will travel to the binary asteroid system 65803 Didymos and will slam into the smaller of the two objects, also known as "Didymoon'' or Didymos B. The two rocks may receive another earthly visitor after DART, too. The European Space Agency is proposing a mission called Hera, which would explore Didymos and, alongside the first two European cubesats to travel into deep space, learn about the aftermath of the DART impact.
Didymos is about 2,540 feet (775 meters) wide, and Didymoon measures 540 feet (165 m) across.
The mission's launch window is now slated to open in July 2021, according to DART Project Manager Cheryl Reed. She also said on May 1 that current estimates suggest the spacecraft will carry a mass of 1,224 lbs. (555 kilograms) and will achieve a closing speed of 14,900 mph (24,000 km/h) before smashing into Didymoon in 2022.
The spacecraft will use the "kinetic impactor" technique to strike Didymoon and change the asteroid's motion. (The probe will not employ any explosives.)
Simulated image of the Didymos system, based on photometric light curve and radar data. The primary body is about half a mile (800 meters) in diameter and the moonlet, known as Didymoon or Didymos B, is approximately 492 feet (150 meters) across.
An element to this collision that several researchers touched on at the conference was how much material ejected from the asteroid after the spacecraft hit would help boost deflection — the momentum enhancement factor, which is known as beta. Research teams are working on 2D and 3Dmodels to better understand how Didymoon's composition, surface material or DART's angle of impact, for example, would affect deflection.
The Hera mission will receive a final full funding decision in November 2019. If it does get the green light, Hera and its two cubesats, APEX and Juventas, will make a series of measurements, observing the shape of DART's impact crater, Didymoon's mass, the asteroid's density and porosity, and more.
New York-based design agency AI SpaceFactory took the top prize in a NASA competition to3D print a habitatthat could be used on the moon or Mars.
AI SpaceFactory won $500,000 for its efforts, while the second-place recipient, Penn State, got $200,000.
The winning habitat, called Marsha, is tall and slim, to reduce the need for construction rovers on unfamiliar terrain, according to AI SpaceFactory. It is designed to be built on a vertically telescoping arm attached to a rover, which stays still during construction. AI SpaceFactory plans to adapt Marsha's design for an eco-friendly Earth habitat called Tera; a crowdfunding campaign will begin shortly, the design agency said in a statement.
Team AI SpaceFactory won first place in the final phase of NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge with Marsha, a tall, thin proposed habitat for the surface of Mars designed to be built autonomously. Scroll through visualizations of the winning design above.
"We developed these technologies for space, but they have the potential to transform the way we build on Earth," David Malott, CEO and founder of AI SpaceFactory, said in the statement. "By using natural, biodegradable materials grown from crops, we could eliminate the building industry's massive waste of unrecyclable concrete and restore our planet."
The awards came after a grueling 30-hour challenge in which the participants created one-third-scale structures of their architectural designs, according to a statement from NASA. Each team used robotic construction techniques that are supposed to have little human interference, demonstrating that the process could work autonomously on other worlds.
The competition took place May 1-4 at Caterpillar's Edwards Demonstration & Learning Center in Edwards, Illinois. Teams built their habitats in 10 hour stretches as a panel of judges examined their work. The completed structures had to pass tests for qualities such as material mix, durability, leakage and strength.
"The final milestone of this competition is a culmination of extremely hard work by bright, inventive minds who are helping us advance the technologies we need for a sustainable human presence on the moon, and then on Mars," Monsi Roman, program manager for NASA's Centennial Challenges, said in NASA's statement. "We celebrate their vision, dedication and innovation in developing concepts that will not only further NASA's deep-space goals, but also provide viable housing solutions right here on Earth."
The competition, which opened in 2015 and took place over several stages, attracted 60 teams that collectively won more than $2 million in prizes from NASA. NASA's major partner in the competition was Bradley University in Illinois.
5 Extraordinary Stories That Could Suggest We Live in a Multiple Dimensional Reality
5 Extraordinary Stories That Could Suggest We Live in a Multiple Dimensional Reality
Deja vu is to me a strong indication of parallel dimensions. I have one experience which was very strong. It was the first time I played basketball, in school.
At one precise moment I recognized everything I saw. The way the ball was flying, a guy jumping after the ball, another kid courtside shouting out, and finally me stumbling in an exact manner. And this was literally the first time I played basketball ever.
I remembered everything from before, all of it was “familiar”. But I remembered it the moment it happened. I froze up for several seconds in the middle of the game because I had no idea what was going on.
It’s something I didn’t think about much as a kid. It just didn’t make sense, right? But as an adult and having heard all these theories, well now there is at least a possible explanation to what happened. via the channel
Check out these Futuristic SCIFI Weapons That Actually EXIST! From amazing guns from the future like rail guns and laser guns to other futuristic sci-fi technology, this top 10 list of real scifi weapons will amaze you!
9. HEAT RAY
Developed by the U.S. military, the Active Denial System, informally known as the Heat Ray, is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon designed for area denial, perimeter security, and crowd control. It’s called the ADS for short and works by heating the surface of targets, including human skin.
8. WEAPONIZED HYPERSONIC PLANES
Besides heat rays of the future, this might also remind you of something straight out of a science fiction movie. A ‘scramjet’ powered aircraft called the X-51A WaveRider has been successfully tested by the American military. During testing, it reached a hypersonic speed of Mach (mawk) 5.1, or 3,913 miles per hour (4,828 km/hr) – that’s over five times the speed of sound!
7. AN/SEQ-3 LASER WEAPON SYSTEM
In 2014, the US Navy deployed its first anti-drone laser for active duty in the Persian Gulf aboard the USS Ponce. Known as the An/Seq-3 Laser Weapon System, it’s intended for use against a variety of targets, from drones to small attack boats, and the commander of the USS Ponce is authorized to use it as he deems necessary.
6. ROBOT SOLDIERS
The MAARS, or Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System, is a small robot tank that was developed by QinetiQ North America. The fully-loaded system weighs 369 pounds and is equipped with sensors, weapons, and ammunition, along with a battery that can last three to 12 hours, as well as a sleep mode that lasts up to a week.
5. SELF-AIMING RIFLE
This terrifying, $17,000 piece of technology, known as the TrackingPoint XS1 scope, essentially equips sniper rifles with an automatic aiming system. Using advanced technology, the firearm tags targets; then, it factors in variables like wind speed and movement to calculate the perfect shot before firing.
4.RAILGUN
Before the railgun actually existed, it was a mythical weapon that made frequent appearances in video games and, occasionally, in movies, such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The railgun hurls metal slugs at hypersonic speeds using electromagnets and is considered the future of artillery and small arms.
3. PLASMA FORCE FIELDS
Researchers are attempting to keep up with the ever-advancing pace of weapons technology. A patent has been issued to aerospace and defense giant Boeing to develop a force field-like system that could protect military vehicles from shockwaves following explosions from missiles or IED’s, or improvised explosive devices.
2. CornerShot Rifle and Grenade Launcher
Despite the seemingly space-age nature of up-and-coming military technology, combat soldiers struggle with the ages-old problem of being able to see and fire weapons around corners. This is an especially prevalent issue when it comes to modern warfare in urban settings.
1. DIGITAL REVOLVER
Once again, the Armatix Digital Revolver resembles something out of a science fiction film, and something like it was actually featured in a James Bond movie. It’s a futuristic pistol designed with safety in mind – it’s equipped with a digital safety mechanism that can only be disabled by a special wristwatch worn by the operator, which sends an unlock signal to the gun once a password is put in and if it is within a certain distance.

Torpedo looking UFO flying over Ohio filmed by plane passenger
Torpedo looking UFO flying over Ohio filmed by plane passenger
A fast flying UFO has been filmed by a plane passenger at the moment the plane was at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Plane passenger said "Taking video and pictures from 30,000 + feet is my favorite thing to do while flying and on May 3, 2019, I happen to catch this torpedo looking UFO."
"As you can see it has no wings or engines, heading west very very fast under the clouds/radar."
"I believe it was Imperial Ohio but I would have calculate the time we left California and the time of my video."
Researchers have discovered water in tiny dust particles from asteroid Itokawa. Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft brought the asteroid dust to Earth in 2010.
Asteroid Itokawa is the much-battered remnant of a larger parent body. The samples studied by Jin and Bose came from the feature called the Muses Sea, which is the smooth area in the middle of Itokawa.
Two cosmochemists have made the first-ever measurements of water in dust grains from the surface of an asteroid. The samples came from asteroid Itokawa and were collected by the Japanese space probeHayabusa.
The team’s findings suggest that as much as half of our planet’s ocean water could have arrived via impacts by similar asteroids early in Earth’s history.
Ziliang Jin is a postdoctoral scholar in Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration and lead author on the paper published May 1, 2019, in Science Advances. Jin said in a statement:
We found the samples we examined were enriched in water compared to the average for inner solar system objects.
The scientists worked with samples provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). In 2005, the Hayabusa spacecraft (Japanese for falcon) collected a small amount of dust from the Itokawa surface and delivered it to Earth five years later in June 2010. The samples that the researchers analyzed were each about half the thickness of a human hair.
The Itokawa particles studied by Jin and Bose are tiny: for comparison, a human hair is 100 to 500 microns in diameter.
Maitrayee Bose, Assistant Professor of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University is the study’s co-author. She said:
To figure out if asteroids like Itokawa were the source of water on Earth, we looked at the ratio of two forms – or isotopes – of hydrogen: hydrogen and deuterium. The planetary science community uses hydrogen as a proxy for water – which is made from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It uses the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) as a type of fingerprint to make connections between planetary bodies and question how the different objects received their water.
Ziliang and I found that Itokawa and Earth have the same D/H ratio, which suggests that they share a common source of water. Some objects, comets and asteroids from the outer solar system, have high D/H ratios, and if they collided with Earth and provided water, then our planet’s D/H ratio would be much higher. But we don’t see that. This led us to conclude that Earth got its water from Itokawa-like asteroids.
The measurements revealed the samples were unexpectedly rich in water. They also suggest, said Bose, that even nominally dry asteroids such as Itokawa may in fact harbor more water than scientists have assumed. Bose said:
Our results support the idea that several Itokawa-like bodies may have collided with the proto-Earth and provided water. These small bodies may be considered the fundamental building blocks of planets, bringing water and other materials like organics to the planets.
Ziliang Jin (left) and Maitrayee Bose prepare Itokawa samples for analysis.
Asteroid Itokawa is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) long and between 700 – 1,000 feet (213 – 305 meters) wide, roughly 10 times the size of a football field. It has a kind of peanut shape, like a pair of rubble piles crunched together. Itokawa circles the sun every 18 months at an average distance of 1.3 times the Earth-sun distance. Part of Itokawa’s path brings it inside Earth’s orbit, and at farthest, it sweeps out a little beyond that of Mars.
Itokawa is the remnant of a parent body that was at least 12 miles (19 km) wide, said the researchers. The parent body suffered several large shocks from impacts, with one final shattering event that broke it apart. In the aftermath, two of the fragments merged and formed today’s Itokawa, which reached its current size and shape about 8 million years ago.
Bottom line: Researchers have discovered water in tiny dust particles from asteroid Itokawa.
NASA believes exoplanets like TRAPPIST-1f could have the right conditions for liquid water, meaning they could support life.

Whether you grew up in the '60s under a cloud of Area 51 conspiracies or you were a '90s alternative kid with a die-hard love ofDavid Duchovny, you've probably entertained theories aboutalien life.
But turns out, you're not alone. (In your wild theorizing, that is, not "not alone in the universe." We could very well be the only ones here, so if you're the last one to survive, please turn out the lights.)
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (also known as SETI) has been a serious pursuit of modern scientists as far back as the early 1900s, when Guglielmo Marconi first claimed to pick up radio signals "seeming to come from beyond the Earth." (Nikolai Tesla suggested they could be from Mars -- thanks, Nik.)
Over the years, the search has only intensified.
On this week's episode of Watch This Space, we take a look at the entirely scientific, entirely credible search for extraterrestrial intelligence being undertaken by scientists, astronomers and researchers around the world.
So, failing some kind of alien mothership landing on our planet, how do we search for proof? There's a few key ways to do it.
Messages from afar
Just like Marconi imagined, it's possible that we could pick up radio signals from distant planets and finally find out the truth about our (very, very distant) neighbours. Back in 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was picking through datafrom Ohio's "Big Ear" radio telescope when he found a radio signal lasting roughly 1 minute. Its origin still remains a mystery, but it's known as the "WOW Signal" for the word Ehman wrote in the margins of his reading printout.
The California-based SETI Institute is continuing this work. One of the leading agencies in the field of SETI research, the SETI Institute has a team of more than 80 researchers working across fields such as astronomy and astrobiology, and they continue to search for radio signals using their Allen Telescope Arraylocated in California's Cascade Mountains. The Institute says we could well find signs of extraterrestrial intelligence in the next two decades.
Exoplanets
So how do we choose where to point our telescopes? Well, the most likely candidates for life outside our solar system are exoplanets -- they're planets that orbit stars like our sun where conditions (such as the availability of surface water) could make them ripe for life.
The now-retired Kepler Space Telescope and the new Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have hunted out these exoplanets by pointing toward stars and looking for dips in their brightness. If a star is bright and then dims before becoming bright again, it could be a sign that a planet is orbiting that star. We've found hundreds of exoplanets this way, including a raft of Earth-like planets that could well support life.
Secret programs and wild conspiracies
It wouldn't be a search for alien life if we didn't look at the crazy programs launched by government agencies over the years.
Back in 2017, the New York Times revealed that the Pentagon had been working on a secret UFO program, funded to the tune of $22 million by the federal government. While the Department of Defense decided to defund the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program in 2012, it reportedly still exists.
Then in April 2019, Politico reported that the US Navy is working on procedures for reporting unidentified aircraft, though the Navy said it wouldn't be making the results of this program public.
While the secret details of Area 51 have now been declassified and many conspiracy theories remain just that -- theories -- there are still plenty of organisations showing a keen interest in what lies beyond our solar system. All that's left to do is find what's out there.
Pluto’s orbit is very elongated. Right now, it’s in a part of its orbit where its distance from the sun is steadily increasing. That fact is devastating its atmosphere.
The spectacular layers of blue haze in Pluto’s atmosphere, captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.
At the time, astronomers had no way of knowing what dramatic changes were in store for the little world’s thin envelope of nitrogen, methane and hydrocarbons.
A cosmic coincidence
By a cosmic coincidence, the last decades of the 20th century and first decades of the 21st also saw a lucky alignment of Earth, Pluto and the dense stellar fields of the distant centre of the Milky Way.
This animation combines various observations of Pluto over the course of several decades. Image via NASA.
This coincidence means Pluto passes relatively often between us and a background star. When this happens, its shadow falls on Earth, an event astronomers refer to as an occultation.
During an occultation, any observatory that happens to lie within the path of the shadow can watch the star seem to disappear as Pluto passes in front of it, and then to reappear as the planetary alignments shift. For any given place on Earth’s surface, a Pluto occultation lasts a couple of minutes at most.
The technique of occultations has been widely used to study the orbits, rings, moons, shapes and atmospheres of the worlds of the outer solar system, including asteroids, comets, planets and dwarf planets.
By comparing what observers see at different locations on Earth, the size and shape of the occulting world can be worked out. If the object has an atmosphere, then for a few brief seconds as the starlight winks out and then comes back on, the starlight can be altered by absorption and refraction as it passes through the planetary atmosphere.
Since the first successful occultation measurements in the 1980s, a succession of observations have established increasingly precise measures of Pluto’s radius, as well as continually sharpening our understanding of the temperature and pressure of its atmosphere.
Long orbit and seasons
Like Earth, Pluto has a seasonal cycle due to the inclination of its poles to the plane of its orbit. Over the course of Pluto’s long year – equivalent to 248 Earth years – first the north pole and then the south pole are angled toward the distant sun.
A drawing of the solar system shows Pluto’s tilted orbit, which is also more elliptical than that of the planets.
But unlike Earth, Pluto’s orbit is stretched into an extreme elliptical shape. Its orbit is so elongated that its distance from the sun varies from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers [2.7 to 4.6 billion miles] (30 to 50 times as far as the Earth-sun distance).
By contrast, Earth’s distance from the sun varies by only 3.4 percent over a year. Pluto’s atmosphere was discovered just before Pluto reached its closest approach to the sun, which happened in 1989.
Since 1989, Pluto has been retreating from the sun. The temperatures have been decreasing accordingly.
Under pressure
At the time Pluto started moving away from the sun, astronomers expected that this would cause its atmospheric pressure to drop, in much the same way that the pressure in an automobile tire decreases with cold weather and increases in the heat. On the contrary, observations from 1988-2016 have shown a steady increase in the atmospheric pressure.
Immediately before the arrival of NASA’s New Horizons probe in 2015, occultation measurements discoveredthe atmospheric pressure on Pluto has tripled since 1988 (the equivalent on Earth would be to compare the pressure at the top of Mt. Everest to that at sea level).
What is the cause of the discrepancy? Any thought that the occultation measurements were in error was banished by the Radio Science Experiment (REX) aboard New Horizons, which returned direct measurements in agreement with the Earthbound observers.
The new research has solved the mystery using a seasonal model for the transport of gas and ice around the surface of the planet.
Even though Pluto is moving farther from the sun every year, its north pole is continuously sunlit during this part of its orbit, causing its nitrogen ice cap to revert to the gas phase.
This explains the rapid increase of atmospheric pressure over the past three decades.
But the climate modeling shows this trend will not continue.
The frozen canyons of Pluto’s north pole captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.
Pluto will continue to move farther from the sun until the year 2113, and the weak sunlight will not be sufficient to similarly warm the southern polar regions.
During the long northern autumn and winter, Pluto’s atmosphere is expected to collapse, frosting out onto the surface like ice on a car windscreen on a clear and cold winter night.
At its lowest ebb, the atmosphere is predicted to have less than five percent of its current pressure. The combination of Pluto’s close approach to the sun and northern hemisphere spring won’t recur until the year 2237.
Until then, it will be of critical importance to test our understanding of planetary atmospheric models under extreme low-temperature and low-pressure conditions through continued occultation measurements.
But these opportunities will become less frequent as Pluto’s orbit takes its apparent position farther from the dense starfields of the galactic center that helped us make the observations.

US Military UFO Investigator Says He Still Has A UFO Part Today From Crash! Will Analysed Show Public, UFO Sighting News.
Youtube UFO investigator channel ThirdPhaseofMoon are onto some really interesting and dangerous evidence of a UFO crash. Of course the US government always denies everything. Thats their official stance on all UFO crashes, but it happens more often than the public would ever dream.
In the video he states on the phone that he has in his possession a metal piece he pulled from a UFO crash and kept for himself. ThirdPhaseofMoon investigators will take that metal, photograph it, have its metal alloys analysed to find out if the metals are of unknown origin and if the metal may have a bio mechanical or living AI metal within its atomic structure itself. I have to tell you...I am really looking forward to seeing their next revealing video about this case. But it is dangerous...such evidence could undermine government intel and thats when people die. The death of my friend, the world famous UFO researcher Streetcap1, not long after a Russian interview he did. I warned him of the dangers, but he did the interview in his home anyways! I am too familiar with what can happen to UFO researcher. Lets wish ThirdPhaseofMoon luck and safely alone the way.
In space, the Event Horizon Imager (currently at concept stage) could have a resolution more than five times that of the Event Horizon Telescope on Earth, which took the first-ever picture of a black hole. Left: Model of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at an observation frequency of 230 GHz. Right: A simulation of what type of image EHT could produce of Sagittarius A*.
Thefirst-ever photo of a black hole amazed people across the world. Now, astronomers are aiming to take even sharper pictures of these enigmatic structures by sending radio telescopes into space.
The historic photo became public on April 10, when the worldwide research collaboration known as Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) unveiled the hazy but nevertheless incredible photo of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87.
Astronomers at Radboud University in the Netherlands have recently shared their plans to work with the European Space Agency (ESA) and others to get a better look at black holes by placing two to three satellites in a circular orbit around Earth. The concept is called the Event Horizon Imager (EHI).
The resolution of a radio image is limited by the size of the telescope that receives the signal, and that's why EHT used a network of dish telescopes around the world to essentially turn Earth into a planet-size virtual telescope. By expanding the distances between the radio observations, astronomers could someday present the public with a clearer, more detailed view of a black hole, researchers said in a statement from Radboud University.
"There are lots of advantages to using satellites instead of permanent radio telescopes on Earth, as with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)," Freek Roelofs, a researcher at Radboud University and lead author of an article describing this potential project, said in the statement.
The Event Horizon Telescope, a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration, captured this image of the supermassive black hole and its shadow that's in the center of the galaxy M87.
"In space, you can make observations at higher radio frequencies, because the frequencies from Earth are filtered out by the atmosphere," Roelofs added. "The distances between the telescopes in space are also larger. This allows us to take a big step forward. We would be able to take images with a resolution more than five times what is possible with the EHT."
A crisper look would offer more than just aesthetics. According to the statement, imagery by EHI could be used to test Einstein's Theory of General Relativity in greater detail, because ''you can take near perfect images to see the real details of black holes,'' Heino Falcke, radio astronomer at Radboud University and co-author on the new work, said in the statement. ''If small deviations from Einstein's theory occur, we should be able to see them."
EHI would initially function apart from EHT, but a hybrid system to combine space observations with those taken from the ground could be a possibility.
The plans are detailed in a forthcoming article in the scientific journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Water worlds that each possess thousands of times more water than Earth does may be more common than Earth-like rocky planets in theMilky Way galaxy, a new study finds.
Over the past 20 or so years, astronomers have confirmed the existence of thousands of exoplanets, or planets around other stars. NASA's recently deceasedKepler spacecraftdiscovered 2,702 confirmed exoplanets, and several thousand more "candidates" it found are awaiting confirmation.
Many exoplanets are quite unlike any planets in our solar system. For example, so-called super-Earths have diameters up to twice that of Earth, and "sub-Neptune" worlds are two to four times wider than Earth. (Neptune's diameter is about four times Earth's.)
Much remains hotly debated about sub-Neptunes, such as how they formed. Their compositions remain unknown, and understanding them could help shed light on these exoplanets' origins. Previous research suggested that sub-Neptunes were either gas dwarf planets with rocky cores surrounded by envelopes rich in hydrogen and helium, or water worlds with major amounts of liquid and frozen water in addition to rock and gas.
To investigate the makeup of sub-Neptunes, scientists ran computer simulations of planetary growth to see what scenarios might best explain the masses and diameters seen to date among exoplanets. Knowing the mass and diameter of a planet can help astronomers estimate its average density, and computer simulations of planetary growth can help reveal whether compositions of gas, rock, ice or water might best explain these densities.
The researchers found that sub-Neptunes are more likely to be water worlds than gas dwarfs. They suggested that each sub-Neptune is at least 25%, and possibly more than 50%,liquid or frozen water by mass. (In contrast, Earth is only 0.02% water by mass.)
"Our study suggests that there are on the order of 1,000 water worlds in just the Kepler confirmed and candidate planets," study lead author Li Zeng, a planetary scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told Space.com. "Statistically speaking, these water worlds may be more abundant than Earth-like rocky planets. Perhaps every typical sunlike star — a star of about one solar mass — has one or more of these water worlds."
The researchers divided exoplanets around sunlike stars into four main types:
Rocky worlds up to twice Earth's diameter.
Water worlds two to four times Earth's diameter that are each made up of more than 25% liquid or frozen water.
Transitional planets four to 10 times Earth's diameter that are rich in ice and possess substantial gaseous envelopes.
Gas giants more than 10 times Earth's diameter that are made up primarily of hydrogen and helium gas.
It remains a mystery why our solar system lacks planets between Earth and Neptune in size, and why the planetary systems that Kepler has seen often have more planets closer to their stars than our solar system does. Solving these puzzles might help shed light on how planetary systems typically form.
"Perhaps our solar system is less typical," Zeng said. Instead, planetary systems "with close-in rocky super-Earths and water-rich sub-Neptunes may be more common than our own solar system in our Milky Way galaxy."
The scientists detailed their findings online April 29 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The moon’s south pole has never been explored from the ground, but India’s new Chandrayaan-2 mission will attempt a 1st-ever landing there, with a rover, this September.
Artist’s concept of Chandrayaan-2 approaching the moon. If all goes well, a lander and rover will land near the lunar south pole in September of this year.
So far, only three countries have successfully landed on the moon – the United States, the former Soviet Union and China – but that might change soon, if all goes according to plan. India is preparing to launch its second lunar mission this summer, and this time the goal is to actually land on the surface, near the moon’s south pole. If successful, India would become the fourth nation to land on the moon and the spacecraft,Chandrayaan-2, would be the first of any country to land in that region.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) announced the plans via Twitter on May 1, 2019. As of now, the spacecraft is scheduled to launch sometime between July 9 and July 16, 2019, from the ISRO launch facility on Sriharikota, an island off India’s southeastern coast.
We are ready for one of the most exciting missions, #Chandrayaan2. Launch window between July 9-16 & likely Moon-landing on Sept 6, 2019. #GSLVMKIII will carry 3 modules of this #lunarmission - Orbiter, Lander (Vikram), Rover (Pragyan).
This new mission is more ambitious than any previous Indian mission to the moon, and will include an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan). The landing itself won’t happen until September 6, 2019. As ISRO said in a statement:
All the modules are getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 9, to July 26, 2019, with an expected moon landing on September 6, 2019. The orbiter and lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-IIIlaunch vehicle. The rover is housed inside the lander.
After landing, the rover is designed to operate for at least 14 days on the surface and drive 1,300 feet (396 meters). That may not sound like a lot compared to NASA’s rovers on Mars, which have been able to drive for many years and travel at least several miles (as well as the Apollo rovers on the moon), but it will be a big accomplishment for ISRO if it succeeds, since it will be their first-ever moon rover. As K. Sivan, ISRO chairman, toldThe Times of India that, once Vikram lands on the lunar surface on September 6, the rover Pragyan will come out of the lander and roll out onto the lunar surface for about 300 to 400 meters (yards). It will spend 14 Earth-days on the moon, carrying out different scientific experiments. Altogether, he told The Times, there will be 13 payloads in the spacecraft: three payloads in rover Pragyan and the other 10 payloads in lander Vikram and orbiter.
Infographic detailing the lander and rover, as well as the landing site near the moon’s south pole.
The rover will use three scientific instruments including spectrometers and a camera to analyze the content of the lunar surface and send data and images back to Earth through the orbiter.
The launch of this mission had originally been planned for April 2018, but it was delayed to changes in the spacecraft design. The four-legged Vikram lander (a qualification model) had also suffered a fracture in one of its landing legs during testing earlier this year, contributing to the delay.
The landing near the moon’s south pole will be uncharted territory, where no other spacecraft has landed before. Previous orbiter missions, including India’s Chandrayaan-1, have found evidence for water ice in craters in this region, in locations where there is permanent shadow. With no atmosphere to speak of, temperatures remain exceedingly cold in those areas – about minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 157 degrees Celsius) – even though they can be boiling hot in sunlit regions. Water ice would be a valuable resource for future crewed missions back to the moon.
This will be India’s second lunar mission. The first, Chandrayaan-1, orbited the moon but did not land. It launched in October 2008 and operated for 312 days, until August 2009. By all measures it was a great success, with the orbiter circling the moon about 3,400 times.

On April 11, 2019, Israel’s Beresheet spacecraft attempted that country’s first landing on the moon – and the first landing of a commercial mission – but unfortunately it crashed after a problem with the main engine in the last few moments before landing. A little earlier, however, on January 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e-4 spacecraft didland successfully on the far side of the moon, another first in lunar exploration.
Hopefully this next mission from India will fare better, as a follow-on to the successful first Chandrayaan-1 mission. If so, this will be the first view from the ground near the moon’s south pole that we will have ever had from any spacecraft. Although studied from orbit, this part of the moon is still virtually unexplored, so it is an exciting opportunity to learn more about our nearest neighbor in space.
Bottom line: If all goes according to plan, India will become the first nation to land a spacecraft near the moon’s south in September of this year. Godspeed!
On Thursday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin presented its plansto reach the Moon, including a brand new design for its “Blue Moon” lander.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk thentook to Twitterto crudely imply that Bezos was building unwarranted hype for a plan that wasn’t going anywhere — a move that could be read as the ultimate example of “pot calling the kettle black” irony.
Twitter Tease
In the tweet, Musk writes “Oh stop teasing, Jeff,” along with a winky face emoji and a photoshopped image of the lander with “Blue Moon” replaced by the words “Blue Balls,” a reference to the uncomfortable feeling that can follow sexual excitement without release.
Maybe Elon Musk has never heard the proverb about how visionary CEOs who consistently fail to make good on their own ambitious promises about space travel shouldn’t throw stones. That’s how the saying goes, right?
He said: "We can help meet that timeline but only because we started three years ago.
"It's time to go back to the moon, this time to stay."
The billionaire unveiled a model of one of Blue Moon's proposed rovers, which was roughly the size of a golf cart, and presented a new rocket engine called BE-7 which can blast 10,000lbs of thrust.
Mr Bezos unveiled the rocket engine that Blue Moon will use
Blue Origin is developing its New Shepard rocket for short space tourism trips and a heavy-lift launch rocket called New Glenn for satellite launch contracts.
It is aiming to deliver the New Glenn rocket by 2021, while launching humans in a suborbital flight later this year atop its rocket-and-capsule New Shepard.
Blue Origin has also previously discussed a human outpost on the moon.
Mr Bezos has talked about his broader vision of enabling a future in which millions of people live and work in space.
Mr Bezos has spoken of his desire to colonise space
Unveiling his moon landing plan, he spoke of the importance of future human colonisation of space and mentioned two important issues: reducing launch costs and using resources already in space.
He said: "One of the most important things we know about the moon today is that there's water there.
"It's in the form of ice. It's in the permanently shadowed craters on the poles of the moon."
Mr Bezos' vision is shared by other billionaire-backed private space ventures including Elon Musk's SpaceX and aerospace incumbents such as United Launch Alliance, a partnership between Boeing Co and Lockheed Martin.
While Mr Bezos is angling to become a leading player in space exploration and win business from the US government, he has been the target of repeated criticism from President Donald Trump, who has referred to him as Jeff "Bozo".
Mr Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which Mr Trump has frequently branded "fake news".
Humans colonized South America with impressive ease and speed, but some 8,000 years ago, a sharp decline started taking place. Now, researchers have shown that climate change was responsible for this decline.

The initial human colonization of South America was a rapid process. Hunter-gatherers arrived on the continent some14,000 years ago, and within a few millennia, they covered every biome on the continent. However, while colonists were largely successful in their attempts, there was a period of about 4,000 years when things didn’t go so well. Researchers have found that a period called the Middle Holocene (8200 to 4200 cal BP) featured numerous shifts in climatic events.
“Archaeologists working in South America have broadly known that some 8,200 years ago, inhabited sites in various places across the continent were suddenly abandoned. In our study we wanted to connect the dots between disparate records that span the Northern Andes, through the Amazon, to the southern tip of Patagonia and all areas in between,” said Dr. Philip Riris (UCL Institute of Archaeology), lead author of the new study.
Through the analysis of radiocarbon dates using computer algorithms, they found that long-term rain patterns greatly correlate with the archaeological evidence. In other words, when the climate started to change, populations started to decline.
“Unpredictable levels of rainfall, particularly in the tropics, appear to have had a negative impact on pre-Columbian populations until 6,000 years ago, after which recovery is evident. This recovery appears to correlate with cultural practices surrounding tropical plant management and early crop cultivation, possibly acting as buffers when wild resources were less predictable,”added Dr. Riris.
However, it wasn’t the absolute magnitude of climate change that did most of the damage, but rather the frequency of exceptional climatic events. This is particularly interesting for us since while the overall trend of climate change is, in rough terms, rather clear, extreme weather events caused by climate change are much harder to foresee.
In other words, it wasn’t necessarily that there was more or less rainfall, but rather that the changes from low to high occurred much quicker than they were supposed to. Dr. Riris explained:
“We studied ancient records of rainfall such as marine sediments for evidence of exceptional climate events. Within windows of 100 years, we compared the Middle Holocene to the prevalent patterns before and after 8,200 years ago. Normal patterns of rainfall suggest on average an unusually dry or wet year every 16-20 years, while under highly variable conditions this increases to every 5 years or so.”
Climate change
If you’re a climate change denier, I know what you’re thinking: Aha! So climate has changed before in the past. Absolutely, our planet’s climate has changed and is changing all the time. However, there is overwhelming evidence that the current warming trends, along with all the events and consequences that derive from it, are caused by mankind’s emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide.
This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution.

ZIJN HET TIJDREIZIGERS OF BUITENAARDSEN? ( VIDEO )

Dat er objecten rondvliegen die door niemand kunnen worden geïdentificeerd is op zich geen nieuws meer.
Wat wel nieuws is, is dat de herkomst van deze objecten misschien wel een heel andere is dan wij denken.
Er zijn op dit moment eigenlijk twee gangbare theorieën over de herkomst van ufo’s, oftewel niet geïdentificeerde objecten in de lucht.
De eerste is dat ze afkomstig zijn van andere planeten en dat het onze ruimtebroeders zijn die ons komen bezoeken. De tweede is dat de mensheid al veel verder is voor wat betreft technologie dan dat het publiek wordt verteld. Dat we al lang een geheime ruimtevloot hebben, gebaseerd op van buitenaardsen afkomstige technologie en dat er al talloze menselijke nederzettingen zijn zoals bijvoorbeeld op Mars.
Beiden zijn uiteraard ook mogelijk en om een idee te krijgen welke vreemde dingen er zoal in de lucht gebeuren, onderstaand een videoclip van Tyler van Secureteam.
Met daarin onder andere iemand die vanuit een vliegtuig opnamen maakt en opeens met hoge snelheid een object dat hij omschrijft als een soort torpedo, langs ziet schieten.
En een andere waar een man geschrokken naar buiten rent vanwege een soort harde knal, allerlei dingen in de lucht ziet en waar vervolgens de complete hemel rood kleurt.
Naast bovengenoemde mogelijkheden is er sinds kort ook nog een derde.
En die mogelijkheid is afkomstig van een Amerikaanse professor die denkt dat voor wat betreft de herkomst van ufo’s, we dit veel dichter bij huis moeten zoeken dan bij andere planeten.
Michael M. Masters is professor aan Montana Tech University en zegt dat we hier heel goed te maken kunnen hebben met mensen uit de toekomst die een kijkje komen nemen in hun evolutionaire verleden.
Met andere woorden, de inzittenden van deze ufo’s zijn geen buitenaardsen, maar tijdreizigers.
Masters heeft hier een uitgebreid boek over geschreven, getiteld “Identified Flying Objects”.
Hij gebruikt zijn opleiding antropologie om te verklaren hoe het komt dat mensen die contact hebben gehad met buitenaardsen, allemaal ongeveer hetzelfde verhaal vertellen.
Ze praten over wezens die net als wij twee benen hebben, rechtop lopen, vingers hebben aan handen en tenen aan voeten en een symmetrisch gezicht bezitten met twee ogen, een mond en een neus en daarnaast zijn ze in staat om met ons te communiceren.
Masters staat helemaal achter de door hem ontwikkelde theorie en is bereid om met eenieder die dat wil erover in discussie te gaan.
Hij zegt dat hij het boek heeft geschreven voor zowel zijn wetenschappelijke collega’s als iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in het ufo fenomeen.
Zou Masters gelijk kunnen hebben en zijn het mensen uit de toekomst die ons bezoeken of toch wezens afkomstig van andere planeten?
Enkele jaren geleden hebben wij een soort handleiding gepubliceerd, afkomstig uit Rusland, met daarin alle buitenaardse wezens zoals die bekend zijn. En dat zijn er heel wat, dus misschien moeten we dan in plaats van twee mogelijkheden vanaf nu maar gewoon drie mogelijkheden aanhouden. Drie mogelijkheden die uiteraard ook allemaal tegelijk kunnen voorkomen.
Hierna een deel uit dat eerdere artikel en mochten er lezers zijn die slimme ideeën hebben over dit onderwerp, laat het ons weten.
In Rusland zijn ze over het algemeen wat verder met betrekking tot het fenomeen buitenaards leven en dat is dan ook het land waar veel nuttige informatie te vinden is.
Zo is er in Rusland sinds 1946-47 een boek bijgehouden over buitenaardse rassen.
Gelukkig is dit boek inmiddels vertaald in het Engels.
Er komen de meer bekende rassen in voor zoals de Pleijadiërs, de Reptilians, de Zeta’s en de Anunnaki.
Ook wordt in het boek de zogenaamde Council of Five genoemd. Die wordt gevormd door vijf buitenaardse rassen die klaarblijkelijk al miljoenen jaren de aarde en haar bewoners beschermen.
Deze Council besefte dat toen de Anunnaki eenmaal begonnen te knoeien met ons DNA, wij uiteindelijk zouden samenkomen met andere goedwillende sterrenfamilies.
Deze Council, of Raad, bestaat uit de vijf volgende buitenaardse rassen: Orela, Egarot, Ginvo, Redan en Emerther.
Het schijnt dat de Emerther één van de meest invloedrijke rassen zijn volgens dit boek. Zij zijn degenen die drie keer een ontmoeting hebben gehad met de Amerikaanse president Dwight Eisenhower en ook drie keer met hooggeplaatste Sovjet autoriteiten.
Klaarblijkelijk waren ze ook geïnteresseerd om de Amerikaanse president Nixon te bezoeken, maar deze wees het verzoek af, omdat hij te bang was dat de buitenaardsen in staat zouden zijn om zijn (mogelijk kwaadwillende) gedachten te lezen.
