Video – 3D bioprinter patches up wounds using a patient’s own skin cells
Video – 3D bioprinter patches up wounds using a patient’s own skin cells
While the advent of 3D printers is commonly thought of as a revolution for manufacturing, it could have huge benefits for medicine as well. To help patch up large wounds that might normally require a skin graft, researchers at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have developed a new bioprinter that can print dual layers of a patient’s own skin directly into a wound.
The idea of 3D printing skin has been in development for a few years. In 2014, a prototype machine was unveiled that could print large sheets of human skin that could then be cut to size and grafted onto a patient. The tech evolved over the years into more detailed machines and eventually a handheld device that works like a tape dispenser for skin.
The new machine looks like a cross between those last two. It’s much larger than the handheld device, but it’s still relatively portable in a hospital setting. The machine can be wheeled to a bedside, and a patient lies underneath the printer nozzle while it goes to work.
Like earlier devices, the new printer uses an “ink” made up of a patient’s own cells, to minimize the risk of rejection. First a small biopsy of healthy skin is taken, and from that two types of skin cells can be isolated: fibroblasts, the cells that help build the structure to heal wounds, and keratinocytes, which are the main cells found in the outermost layer of skin.
Larger amounts of these cells are grown from the biopsy sample, then mixed into a hydrogel to form the bioprinter ink. And here’s where it differs from previous bioprinters – rather than just applying the new skin over the injury, the new machine first uses a 3D laser scanner to build a picture of the topology of the wound. Using that image, the device then fills in the deepest parts with the fibroblasts, before layering keratinocytes over the top.
That technique mimics the natural structure of skin cells, allowing the injury to heal faster. The team demonstrated that it works using mouse models, observing that new skin began to form outward from the center of the wound. Notably, it only worked when the ink was made using the patient’s own cells – in other experiments the tissue was rejected by the body.
“If you deliver the patient’s own cells, they do actively contribute to wound healing by organizing up front to start the healing process much faster,” says James Yoo, co-author of the paper. “While there are other types of wound healing products available to treat wounds and help them close, those products don’t actually contribute directly to the creation of skin.”
The researchers say that the next steps involve conducting clinical trials in humans. Eventually, the new device could be put to work treating burn victims, patients with diabetic ulcers and other large wounds that have trouble healing on their own.

TRUMP TWEET ACCIDENTALLY REVEALS SECRETS ABOUT US SPY SATELLITES
TRUMP TWEET ACCIDENTALLY REVEALS SECRETS ABOUT US SPY SATELLITES
DONALD TRUMP VIA TWITTER
VICTOR TANGERMANN
Classified Tweet
In recent tweet, U.S. President Donald Trump included a smartphone picture of Iran’s Semnan Launch Site One — a location where U.S. authorities believe a rocket failure took place.
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump
The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One.
But astronomy experts managed to glean much more from the simple image. By analyzing the angle at which the image was taken, they apparently figured out which spy satellite took it and when.
Dutch astronomer and asteroid tracker Marco Langbroek suggests the image could’ve been taken by USA 224 — an extremely secretive recon satellite which cost around two billion dollars — a day before Trump tweeted the image.
I measured the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse (the obliguely viewed circular platform). The viewing angle is then derived by minor=major*cos(angle) --> so find the matching angle. That yielded nominal 43.97 deg. That value matches 09:44:23 UT and azimuth 194.7.
Dr Marco Langbroek@Marco_Langbroek
So the position of the satellite at 09:44:23 was taken, and in STK I let the viewq from the satellite point towards the launch platform. That yielded this. It is a very good match so there is no doubt in my mind that it is an image taken by USA 224.
The suspected KH-11-type optical imaging satellite launched in 2011, but has been visible to amateur astronomers and trackers since then.
“They’re super bright in the sky and are easy to find,” Michael Thompson, a graduate student in astrodynamics at Purdue University, told NPR.
Oh Doubt
But the extremely high resolution of the image has some astronomers puzzled. Calculations put the resolution at an estimated 10 centimeters per pixel, while the newest commercial satellites take images at only 30, according to Quartz.
“The level of detail in the image is incredible,” wrote Langbroek in a blog post. “These are high resolution optical satellites that resemble the Hubble Space Telescope, but look down to Earth instead of to the heavens.”
New Delhi: A huge asteroid will eventually hit humanity and there will be no way out, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has predicted. A monster asteroid called Apophis, named after an Egyptian “God of Chaos”, will come dangerously close to the Earth, about 19,000 miles (31,000 km) above the surface.
“Great name! Wouldn’t worry about this particular one, but a big rock will hit Earth eventually & we currently have no defence,” Musk tweeted late on Monday. On April 13, 2029, a speck of light will streak across the sky, getting brighter and faster.
At one point it will travel more than the width of the full Moon within a minute and it will get as bright as stars. But it won’t be a satellite or an aeroplane — it will be a 1,100-foot-wide, near-Earth asteroid called “Apophis” that will potentially cruise harmlessly by Earth.
“The Apophis close approach in 2029 will be an incredible opportunity for science,” said Marina Brozovic, a radar scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, who works on radar observations of near-Earth objects (NEOs).
“We’ll observe the asteroid with both optical and radar telescopes. With radar observations, we might be able to see surface details that are only a few meters in size,” she added.
It’s rare for an asteroid of this size to pass by the Earth so close. Although scientists have spotted small asteroids, on the order of 5-10 meters, flying by Earth at a similar distance, asteroids the size of Apophis are far fewer in number and so do not pass this close to Earth as often.
The asteroid, looking like a moving star-like point of light, will first become visible to the naked eye in the night sky over the Southern Hemisphere, flying above Earth from the east coast to the west coast of Australia.
It will then cross the Indian Ocean, and by the afternoon in the eastern US, it will have crossed the equator, still moving west, above Africa. “Current calculations show that Apophis still has a small chance of impacting Earth, less than 1 in 100,000 many decades from now, but future measurements of its position can be expected to rule out any possible impacts,” said NASA recently.
Apophis is a representative of about 2,000 currently known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). “It is possible that there will be some surface changes, like small avalanches,” Davide Farnocchia, an astronomer at JPL, said in the blog post.
DIERENDe massa-extinctie aan het eind van het Krijt - 65 miljoen jaar geleden - ging de wetenschapsboeken in als het uitsterven van de dinosauriërs en is daarom de bekendste. Maar nog veel vroeger vond er ook al een massa-uitsterving plaats, die veel groter was. Twee miljard jaar geleden stierf tot 99,5 procent van alle leven op aarde, zo blijkt uit een nieuwe studie gepubliceerd in PNAS.
Het internationaal team van wetenschappers onderzocht gesteenten in Hudson Bay in Canada die miljarden jaren geleden zouden zijn gevormd. Ze keken naar bariet, een mineraal dat informatie bevat over hoeveel zuurstof er op dat moment in de atmosfeer was. Zo ontdekten ze dat er 2,05 miljard jaar geleden een zware terugval van leven was. Die viel samen met het einde van de periode van oxidatie (GOE of Great Oxygenation Event), waarbij er eerst een enorme toename van zuurstof was 2,4 miljard jaar geleden, gevolgd door een dramatische dip van het zuurstofniveau.
“Meer dan 100 tot 200 miljoen jaar vóór dit uitstervingsevent was er heel veel leven op de planeet, maar na dit evenement viel een groot deel daarvan weg”, zei co-auteur Peter Crockford aan Newsweek. “Maar in plaats van een herstel, zoals bij recentere massa-uitstervingen, bleef de hoeveelheid leven op de planeet of de grootte van de biosfeer klein gedurende het volgende miljard jaar van de geschiedenis van de aarde - ongeveer van twee miljard tot een miljard jaar geleden.”
Crockford schat dat twee miljard jaar geleden tussen de 80 en 99,5 procent van het leven op onze planeet stierf. Ter vergelijking: bij de massa-uitsterving van de dinosauriërs verdween ongeveer driekwart van het leven op aarde, terwijl de Great Dying-gebeurtenis of Perm-Trias-massa-extinctie - de grootste bekende massa-uitsterving ooit - de ondergang betekende van ongeveer 70 procent van alle aardse leven en 96 procent van het zeeleven.
Crockford vindt overigens het woord ‘uitsterven’ niet geschikt voor het bewuste evenement, “omdat we waarschijnlijk nooit zullen weten welke soorten uitsterven, als dat al het geval was”. Op een blog over het artikel schreef hij: “Maar het lijkt er wel op dat er sowieso een dramatische vermindering van het leven op de planeet was”.
Volgens Crockford kunnen de bevindingen inzicht geven in hoe de aarde in de toekomst zal veranderen. Hij vermoedt ook dat er nog heel wat massa-extincties geweest zijn die we nu nog niet kennen.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETDe Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA heeft gisteren een koerscorrectie uitgevoerd met aardobservatiesatelliet Aeolus. De manoeuvre was nodig om een botsing met een Starlink-satelliet van SpaceX te voorkomen.
Wetenschappers van ESA voerden de correctie met de hand uit. “De manoeuvre vond een halve omloop voor de potentiële botsing plaats”, schreef ESA op Twitter. “Dit was de eerste keer dat we een botsingscorrectie moesten uitvoeren om niet op een ‘megasterrenbeeld’ te botsen.”
ESA Operations✔@esaoperations
For the first time ever, ESA has performed a 'collision avoidance manoeuvre' to protect one of its satellites from colliding with a 'mega constellation'#SpaceTraffic
On Monday, the European Space Agency (ESA) tweeted that it had to perform a “collision avoidance” maneuver to avoid a crash with one of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites.
SpaceX knew about the potential collision, Holger Krag, head of the ESA’s Space Debris Office,told Forbes — but refused to do anything about it and wouldn’t say why.
According to the Forbes story, the U.S. military noticed that one of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites had a 1 in 1,000 chance of colliding with the ESA’s Aeolus Earth observation satellite.
The Pentagon informed both agencies of the potential collision, and although the ESA’s satellite had been occupying the region for nine months longer than the Starlink satellite, SpaceX told the ESA via email that it didn’t plan to take any action to prevent the collision and didn’t offer any explanation as to why.
This prompted the ESA to perform the avoidance maneuver, which it does regularly to avoid collisions with dead satellites or space junk — but rarely to avoid active satellites and never before to prevent a collision with a mega constellation of them. But the fracas raises the possibility that similar maneuvers might become more regular in the future.
While SpaceX’s Starlink mega constellation currently consists of fewer than 60 satellites, it could eventually launch upwards of 12,000 as part of its plan to deliver broadband internet to the entire globe — and that could dramatically increase the risk of collisions.
“We are not upset by them saying [they wouldn’t move],” Krag told Forbes. “My concern is how often will we have such events in the future? These are just two satellites. Now they will add several thousand, and they will also be disposed and end up at various altitudes. And there’s no rule or law on how to react, it’s all goodwill.”
To prepare for a future in which potential Starlink crashes are far more common, the ESA is now exploring the use of artificial intelligence to automate its collision avoidance systems, tweeting that such a system is “becoming necessary to protect our space infrastructure.”
According to Engadget, the Starlink satellites are already equipped with automated collision avoidance systems, so perhaps SpaceX’s decision to do nothing was part of a plan to see if those systems would work as intended, by automatically adjusting the satellite’s path without SpaceX manually intervening.
That could explain why SpaceX didn’t provide the ESA with a reason for its inaction — it’s hard to imagine the agency would’ve been OK with SpaceX risking the ESA’s $560 million satellite in order to test its own AI.
Asteroid warning: Space rock comparable to dinosaur killer is heading Earth’s way
Asteroid warning: Space rock comparable to dinosaur killer is heading Earth’s way
A MASSIVE asteroid comparable to the massive space rock which brought the dinosaurs’ reign on Earth to an end is hurtling towards Earth, and scientists have confirmed it is “potentially hazardous”.
The asteroid known as 1990 MU is currently completing another orbit of the Sun, and in 2027 it could come perilously close to Earth. Asteroid 1990 MU is between 4-9 kilometres in diameter and on June 6 2027, it is set to come within 0.03 AU - astronomical unit. One AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, so coming within just 0.03 AU is perilously close.
For reference, Mars – the planet which humans are hoping to reach – is around 0.5 AU.
The asteroid is classed as a potentially hazardous asteroid, which according to NASA has the “potential to make threatening close approaches to the Earth.”
According to data from NASA, 2019 OK was large – an estimated 187 to 427 ft (57 to 130) wide – and hurtling fast along a path bringing it within only 45,000 miles (73,000km) of Earth when it flew by in recent weeks.
This was less than one-fifth of the distance to the Moon and what the Royal Institution of Australia’s Professor Alan Duffy described as “uncomfortably close.”

An asteroid strike 66 million years ago put an end to the dinosaurs

That asteroid would have been big enough to wipe out a city, so 1990 MU could be truly devastating.
Asteroid 1990 MU is up to nine kilometres in diameter, which puts it in the same ball-park as the space rock which put an end to the dinosaurs.
That space rock is believed to have been between 10-15 kilometres wide and came crashing into what is now Mexico 66 million years ago marking the beginning of the end of the dinosaurs.
Research from the University of Glasgow has found up to three quarters of life on Earth was wiped out from the asteroid, with the dinosaurs dying out within a few centuries.
The space rock caused a cloud of dust to fill the air which blocked out the sun, leading to drastic and sudden climate change that ultimately created major food shortages across Earth, leading to the death of bigger animals, and allowing smaller creatures, such as mammals, to thrive in their absence.
Now, a comparable asteroid is heading Earth’s way.
While the asteroid will be close within the next decade, it will be even closer in 2058, when it comes within 0.02 AU - less than three million kilometres.
Scientists estimate that a life-ending asteroid, such as the one which put an end to the dinosaur’s reign, would collide with Earth every 100 million years or so.
But asteroids can strike at any moment and there is always a very slim chance a massive civilisation-ending space rock could hit sooner.
For that reason, many claim global authorities should have a plan in place – but it seems they do not.
NASA employee Robert Frost, who works as an instructor and flight controller for the space agency according to his bio on Q+A website Quora, said the best thing governments could do is tell the public to “hunker down”, as there would be little which can be done to prepare for the inevitable.
Mr Frost was writing in response to the question: “If it were discovered that an asteroid was going to wipe humanity out, say in 2 months, how would the governments of the world respond?”

He said: “That’s a tough one. Movies tell us they would keep it secret. There’s a lot of sense to that. Mass panic can be more dangerous than the actual event.
“But my experience working in government is that the government really isn’t good at keeping anything secret unless it begins within a secretive part of the culture, like the military.
“Something like this would likely be first discovered by someone that couldn’t spell ‘security clearance’. It would be evident to astronomers all over the world.
“Feeling helpless, the government would likely just tell us to ‘hunker down’ and duct tape our window seams.
“Then the Democrats would blame it on the Republicans for ignoring global warming and the Republicans would blame it on the Democrats for not praying in school.”

Asteroids approach towards the Earthdue to the gravitational forces that affect them. Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun and these space rocks can bring tsunamis, shock waves and flattening winds that could be catastrophic. It is said that Earth will reach to its end one day and one of the possible reason for this could be an asteroid. No one knows what our future will be. These days a large number of asteroids are hovering all around the Earth and we might get hit too sooner or later. However, in a bid to save our planet and humans as well, NASA is stepping-up plans to deliberately crash a spaceship into anasteroid when it joins forces with the European Space Agency (ESA) next week.
According to a report published by Daily Star, scientists from NASA and ESA have planned to test whether it is possible to deflect the orbit of potentially-deadly asteroids. It is worth mentioning here that the mission will launch in 2022 and involves two spacecraft, one to smash into the space rock and the other to measure the results of the collision.
Experts will meet in Italy to fine-tune the plan. So far, it involves crashing NASA spacecraft DART — or Double Asteroid Impact Test — into the asteroid. Then ESA's Hera will survey DART's crash site and analyse the direction of the asteroid's new path, Daily Star reported.
Queen guitarist and astrophysicist Brian May explained how the mission would be conducted using the might of NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and other asteroid specialists.
“HERA is going to show us no one has ever seen before. This ESA mission will be humanities first-ever spacecraft to visit a double asteroid, Didymos. “This asteroid is typical of the thousands that pose an impact risk to our planet.” express.co.uk quoted Brian May as saying.
“Imagine a mountain in the sky with another rock about the size of the great pyramid swinging around it, that is Didymos. Just the seemingly tiny moon would be big enough to destroy a city if it were to collide with the Earth. But we are going to find out if it is possible to deflect it,” Brian May added.
He further said, “HERA is led by a multinational team of scientists and engineers. Right now all we have is many years and theories but HERA will revolutionise our understanding of asteroids and how to protect ourselves from them. Then ESA comes in, HERA will map the impact crater left by DART and measure the mass of the asteroid.”
“Knowing this mass is key to determining what is inside and knowing for certain whether we would be able to deflect it. Next come our briefcase-sized CubeSats, if you think of HERA like an aeroplane, cubists will operate more like drones,” Brian concluded.
According to a report published by spacetelescope.org, there are more than 7 lakh asteroids that have been found in space. Asteroids are mainly found in an area called the ‘main belt’, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Some residents of what’s been called “America’s Bermuda Triangle” have poked fun at the mention of paranormal activity or monster sightings in their South Shore communities.
Others have gone on record and sworn by what they’ve witnessed or encountered, be it strange lights in the sky, hairy creatures in the swamp, or a spirit in disheveled clothes lingering on the side of the road and waiting to hitch a ride.
While people’s opinions vary about the unexplained phenomena, on this they seem to agree: News that a major network could be making a series based on the legends of “The Bridgewater Triangle” — an approximately 200-square-mile region of Southeastern Massachusetts that has long been linked to the supernatural and macabre — is exciting, to say the least.
In an exclusive last week, Deadline.com reported that FX has acquired a short story titled “The Bridgewater Triangle” and plans to develop it into a television show.
Details are as thin as a spectral being for now. But Noah Hawley, the force behind the television series “Fargo,” and his company 26 Keys Productions, are reportedly executive producing what’s being described as an “apocalyptic horror thriller.”
The show would center on three siblings who must unite and confront a confluence of paranormal events, Deadline.com reported.
A spokesperson for FX confirmed in an e-mail to the Globe that the information in the Deadline story is correct but said the network has “no further information at this time.”
“The Bridgewater Triangle” refers to an area bordered by the points of Abington, Freetown, and Rehoboth. More than a dozen other municipalities fall within its mystical bounds.
The name for the uncanny zone was first coined by famed cryptozoologist Loren Coleman more than 40 years ago and is a play on the mysterious section of the Atlantic Ocean where boats and airplanes have reportedly vanished, known as the Bermuda Triangle.
Coleman, founder and director of the International Cryptozoology Museum, in Portland, Maine, said while going to school full time in the 1970s, he began investigating “creature reports” from the area.
He later mapped out where the strange activities had been reported. Eventually, he connected the dots and realized all of the alleged sightings — UFOs, birdlike creatures, large snakes, man-beasts — were entrapped by the space.
“It was very obviously a triangle,” Coleman said. “I was just putting all of the pieces of data together, and that’s why I came up with the word ‘Bridgewater Triangle,’ just to give a handle to people that want to read about it, or wanted to talk about it.”
The name later appeared more officially in his 1983 book, “Mysterious America.”
The Hockomock Swamp, part of a network of wetlands, creeks, rivers, and ponds that span thousands of acres, is perhaps the most infamous part of the triangle.
According to Globe archives, the Wampanoag tribe gave the spot, which falls within Bridgewater, Easton, Norton, Raynham, Taunton, and West Bridgewater, its name, meaning “place where spirits dwell.”
The habitat has been called the “beating heart” of the triangle and is rich with history. According to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, “the archaeological sites in the vicinity of this wetland complex are known to span a period of 9,000 years.”
Stories about Hockomock’s “inhabitants” have thrived for generations and include sightings of “vicious, giant dogs with red eyes seen ravenously sinking their fangs into the throats of ponies; a flying creature that resembled a pterodactyl, the dinosaur that could fly; Native-American ghosts paddling canoes; and glowing somethings hovering above the trees,” the Globe reported in a 2005 story about the swamp.
Reports of a Bigfoot-like creature wandering the thickets and brambles have also been a constant theme throughout the years.
The announcement that a show will probably cast a spotlight on the Bridgewater Triangle has people who live within it — as well as those who have spent time researching or exploring it — looking forward to seeing how its myths and legends could come alive on the small screen.
“I’ve certainly heard about the FX show,” Marilee Kenney Hunt, Bridgewater’s town clerk, said in an e-mail to the Globe, “and shared the news with family members across the country.”
In a private Facebook group called “Bridgewater Residents,” which boasts 18,000 members, people expressed interest in being part of the project if filming takes place in the state.
“If ANYONE sees a casting call for this, PLEASE let me know,” one person wrote on the page recently.
Another said, “Put me in coach.”
When a Globe reporter posted in the group, asking whether there’s talk in town about the series, more than 100 comments followed, with a handful of people offering to tell their own stories.
Filmmaker Aaron Cadieux, who wrote and codirected a 2013 documentary with local actor Manny Famolarecalled “The Bridgewater Triangle,” said he’s hopeful about the series.
“This will raise the national profile of the Bridgewater Triangle,” he said in a telephone interview. “We were surprised, but very pleasantly surprised [by the news].”
While the duo’s 90-minute film has no direct affiliation with the story FX apparently acquired, Cadieux offered up their expertise on the subject matter, if needed.
“We would be happy to talk to them or consult with them in any way that we can. It’s just exciting,” he said. “Selfishly, I hope people will find their way to our documentary.”
Coleman, the cryptozoologist, said he hasn’t been in contact with FX either, but he’d also be willing to talk about his ties to the region and the title he coined.
“That would be fun,” he said. “It’s something that if they do a good job writing it or acting in it, I’d watch it — because I came up with the name.”

Tv-serie in de maak over ‘Amerikaanse Bermudadriehoek’. Dit is een ware hotspot van paranormale activiteit
In het zuidoosten van de Amerikaanse staat Massachusetts vinden al jaren vele vreemde gebeurtenissen plaats.
Soms wordt dit gebied ook wel de ‘Amerikaanse Bermudadriehoek’ genoemd, waarbij Abington, Rehoboth en Freetown de drie punten van de driehoek vormen.
Er zijn talloze gevallen van onverklaarbare, paranormale fenomenen gemeld.
UFO-meldingen
Zo zijn er mensen die Bigfoot, enorme slangen en zelfs prehistorische reptielen hebben gezien in het gebied.
De regio staat ook bekend om de vele UFO-meldingen. Ook worden er lichtbollen gezien.
Verder waren er naar verluidt geesten rond en zijn er gevallen van veeverminking gemeld.
Sinistere praktijken
Bovendien wordt het gebied in verband gebracht met rituele moorden, dieroffers en andere sinistere praktijken.
Momenteel wordt er gewerkt aan een tv-serie over deze zogeheten Bridgewater Triangle. De serie zou gemaakt worden door Noah Hawley, bekend van de serie Fargo.
Onder de aandacht
“Hierdoor zal de Bridgewater Triangle eens goed onder de aandacht worden gebracht,” zei filmmaker Aaron Cadieux, die eerder een documentaire over de regio maakte.
From Gaia “Randy Cramer’s life experiences are either incredible or absurd. He reports that he spent 20 years as a Marine in the U.S. Secret Space Program (SSP). His tour of duty took him first to an elaborate, secret, fully-equipped base on the moon.
Then, he went to Mars where he spent 17 years at a military base. After a major loss of human lives during a battle between the military forces and native people of Mars, he was deployed back to the moon where he spent his final three years as a military pilot.
He tells his story with vivid and captivating detail. Randy Cramer: Space Traveler and Mars Colonist Randy Cramer, who initially told his story under the pseudonym “Captain Kaye,” says he was only four years old when he began training for the SSP through a program called Project Moon Shadow.
He was one of approximately 300 girls and boys who were “covertly drafted” to participate in the program. Girls comprised only 20 percent of the group, a male/female ratio that remained consistent during his entire 20 years with the SSP. Cramer recalls that during his childhood, he would be taken from his bed at night.
Even though he would be gone for days or even weeks, he would be returned to his bed and travel back in time to when he was taken. He would wake up as though no time had passed, feeling like he had just had a really, really long dream.”

Of course there is great debate about Planet X. Even Graham Hancock has said a roaming planet has come thru before. But one thing I see all the time in comments is that this was announced on Russian TV. So I decided to revisit this to see what interesting comments we could find from our commenters.
Russia has Been warning us ever since 2012, they don’t hide it. Share… this video must be shared with max number of people! make your part now, please share it! Because the Government Cover-up!
Important: Before you JUDGE, watch the whole video. NIBIRU PLANET-X EMINENT APPROACH! MUST SEE!! URGENT VIDEO PUBLIC UTILITY! GOV COVER UP!
The asteroid belt is huge. If it used to be one planet, it must have been a very massive giant. If it was destroyed by “Nibiru” then Nibiru must be many times more massive to have survived the impact without becoming part of the same asteroid belt. Which means they must have both been rock giants, and this is unusual. Our giants are gas planets. Tin Tin

A sky-watcher using his telescope captures an unknown object as it passes the moon.
It looks like it is a fleet of UFOs, a large Mothership followed by several smaller UFOs. The video captured last month, August 2019, shows the fleet of UFOs passing the moon until they disappear behind the moon.

Stone Disk Found In Coal Mine In Russia, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Location of discovery: Russia Date of discovery: 2015 I believe what they have found is a UFO drone ship. These smaller drones are used as scouts for keeping larger ships safe. Often a UFO will have these small scouts or even smaller baseball size orbs rotating around the UFO like a protective shield. Many such UFO disks have been found around the world, always heavy and appear to be made of stone. However I do not believe its really stone, but a condensed nano bot micro material that strengthens the UFO like stone, but actually is a complex network. I believe if we looked at its material under an electron microscope, we would find evidence of micro alien tech. Scott C. Waring
News states:
A mysterious boulder resembling a flying saucer was unveiled on Sunday after it was unearthed at a coal mine in the Belovo District, Kemerovo at the end of January. The disc is 1.2m (3.9ft) in diameter and weighs approximately 200kg (441lb).

Glowing White UFO Seen Over Ukraine Aug 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:August 2019 Location of sighting: Ukraine Source: Email Report This was sent into me from an Youtube subscriber living in the Ukraine. The video shows a glowing object moving across the sky. The object has no wings, windows, tail. It keeps its reflective white appearance the whole time. But there are a few seconds where this UFO looks triangular in shape. That could mean its a TR3B in the hands of the Russians. Russia and China have their own share of recovered UFOs, also NASA worked with the Russians during the covert Apollo 18, 19, 20 missions...which recovered a lot of alien technology from some crashed ships on the moon. This could be a secret military craft. Scott C. Waring
UFO Sighting Video Shows a Bright UFO Splitting into Two
UFO Sighting Video Shows a Bright UFO Splitting into Two
A strange video has shown a UFO splitting into two separate flying objects allegedly over the East China Sea. The eyewitness said she felt joy and happiness at the sight that caused her to burst into tears.
The clip was reportedly recorded around 6:20 pm on Monday near Shurijo, Japan from the top of a mountain.
From the peak of the mountain, Lotus Raelian observed the mysterious object hovering for some 10 minutes before decided to record it on video. The footage starts with the sight of a singular bright flying in the far distance above the East China Sea.
Seconds later, the brightness of the light dims and seems to separate into two lights.
The two faintly lit objects slowly move further apart as the schoolgirl is heard starting to cry.
The girl said she had a strong feeling to go to the top of a Shurijo mountain located just beside their school.
Then she saw something hovering in the sky that was as bright as a star. The strange object was still there after around 10 minutes, according to the witness.
After that moment, she said that the bright star began to move and shine blue and red colors.
Then she took out her phone and began to record a video as the bright star started to move and become two parts.
The witness said that she was so surprised and cried with joy and happiness of seeing a flying machine first hand.
Jupiter May Have Absorbed a Planet 10 Times the Size of Earth Billions of Years Ago - Report
Jupiter May Have Absorbed a Planet 10 Times the Size of Earth Billions of Years Ago - Report
Scientists ran several models and concluded that planetary collisions were likely a common event during the Solar System’s early days.
The gas giant planet Jupiter could have collided with a “proto-planet” approximately 10 times as big as Earth and swallowed it whole during the early days of the Solar System, a group of researchers say.
A joint group of scientists from China, Switzerland, Japan and the US created a model that seeks to explain the discrepancies in Jupiter’s structure discovered by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. According to gravitational readings, the planet’s core is less dense and more extended than expected.
"This is puzzling," said Andrea Isella, a co-author of the study. "It suggests that something happened that stirred up the core, and that's where the giant impact comes into play."
Published in Nature magazine, the new model suggests that the strange core structure may be a result of an impact with a huge rocky or icy “planetary embryo” in the first few million years of Jupiter’s formation.

A colossal, head-on collision between #Jupiter and a still-forming planet in the early solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago, could explain surprising readings from
"The only scenario that resulted in a core-density profile similar to what Juno measures today is a head-on impact with a planetary embryo about 10 times more massive than Earth," said Shang-Fei Liu, the study's lead author.
“A sufficiently giant impact between a large planetary embryo and the proto-Jupiter could have shattered its primordial compact core and mixed the heavy elements with the inner envelope,” the study reads.
Isella explains that, after the supposed impact, it took billions of years for the proto-planet’s heavy material to settle back into Jupiter’s dense core.
"It sounded very unlikely to me," Isella admitted, adding that it was "like a one-in-a-trillion probability.”
The team also ran alternative scenarios, such as weather erosion or a presumption that Jupiter’s core always contained gas, but the impact model came with the results that matched the Juno reading best, The Daily Mail report said.
“Models of such a scenario lead to an internal structure that is consistent with a diluted core, persisting over billions of years,” the study reads.
Based on their research, scientists speculate that similar collisions were not rare during the early days of the Solar System.
"We suggest that collisions were common in the young Solar System and that a similar event may have also occurred for Saturn, contributing to the structural differences between Jupiter and Saturn,” the study says.
For the first time, heavy metal gases like magnesium and iron have been detected floating away from an exoplanet, a planet orbiting a distant sun. Why? Because the planet – which is about as big as Jupiter – is orbiting perilously close to its star.

Exoplanets – worlds orbiting other stars – have been discovered in a wide variety of types and sizes, from small rocky worlds to sizzling hot gas giants orbiting close to their stars. The phrase “music of the spheres” comes to mind, an ancient philosophical concept that regarded the movements of the sun, moon and planets as a form of music. While that phrase tends to evoke thoughts of classical melodies, one exoplanet in particular seems to fit the heavy metal genre better.
The planet – WASP-121b, a hot Jupiter 900 light-years from Earth – orbits so close to its star that its upper atmosphere is a sizzling 4,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,500 Celsius). The gravity of its host star has distorted the planet into the oblong shape of an American football. First discovered in 2015, the planet is 1.8 times the mass of Jupiter.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) detected gas escaping from the planet, iron and magnesium gas, dubbed “heavy metals.” These new peer-reviewed results were published on August 1 in The Astronomical Journal.
Evidence suggests that the lower atmosphere of WASP-121b is so hot that iron and magnesium remain in a gaseous state. They stream to the upper atmosphere, where they can escape into space on the coattails of hydrogen and helium gas. This is the first time that such gases have been observed escaping a hot Jupiter exoplanet. As David Sing, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, said:
Heavy metals have been seen in other hot Jupiters before, but only in the lower atmosphere. So you don’t know if they are escaping or not. With WASP-121b, we see magnesium and iron gas so far away from the planet that they’re not gravitationally bound. The heavy metals are escaping partly because the planet is so big and puffy that its gravity is relatively weak. This is a planet being actively stripped of its atmosphere.

How does this process occur? First, the star itself is hotter than the sun, and ultraviolet light from the star heats the planet’s upper atmosphere. The escaping iron and magnesium gas may also help to heat the atmosphere even more, according to Sing:
These metals will make the atmosphere more opaque in the ultraviolet, which could be contributing to the heating of the upper atmosphere.
Not only is the planet’s atmosphere severely affected, but so is the planet as well. It is actually approaching the point where it could be ripped apart by the star’s gravity. Right now though, it has been stretched into a football-like shape. WASP-121b offers a rare observation opportunity for scientists, as Sing noted:
We picked this planet because it is so extreme. We thought we had a chance of seeing heavier elements escaping. It’s so hot and so favorable to observe, it’s the best shot at finding the presence of heavy metals. We were mainly looking for magnesium, but there have been hints of iron in the atmospheres of other exoplanets. It was a surprise, though, to see it so clearly in the data and at such great altitudes so far away from the planet.
According to Drake Deming, an astronomer at the University of Maryland:
This planet is a prototype for ultra-hot Jupiters. These planets are so heavily irradiated by their host stars, they’re almost like stars themselves. The planet is being evaporated by its host star to the point that we can see metal atoms escaping the upper atmosphere where they can interact with the planet’s magnetic field. This presents an opportunity to observe and understand some very interesting physics.
Hot Jupiters this close to their host star are very rare. Ones that are this hot are even rarer still. Although they’re rare, they really stand out once you’ve found them. We look forward to learning even more about this strange planet.
These observations of WASP-121b are part of the Panchromatic Comparative Exoplanetary Treasury Program (PanCET) survey. It is the first large-scale ultraviolet, visible, and infrared comparative study of 20 different exoplanets, ranging in size from super-Earths (several times Earth’s mass) to Jupiters (over 100 times Earth’s mass).
WASP-121b is a type of exoplanet called a hot Jupiter, like HD 209458b (artist’s concept).

By studying WASP-121b and other hot Jupiters, scientists can learn more about how planets lose their primordial atmospheres. The atmospheres of still-forming planets tend to consist of the lighter-weight gases hydrogen and helium. But those atmospheres can be stripped away as a planet moves closer to its star. As Sing explained:
The hot Jupiters are mostly made of hydrogen, and Hubble is very sensitive to hydrogen, so we know these planets can lose the gas relatively easily. But in the case of WASP-121b, the hydrogen and helium gas is outflowing, almost like a river, and is dragging these metals with them. It’s a very efficient mechanism for mass loss.
WASP-121b is also an ideal target for future observations from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, which will be able to examine the atmosphere for water and carbon dioxide, and help provide a more complete analysis of all the chemical elements in the atmosphere. That data will help scientists better understand how worlds like hot Jupiters form, as well as planetary systems in general.
Artist’s concept of WASP-121b, which astronomers are describing as a heavy metal exoplanet. The planet is so hot that gases of magnesium and iron – called “heavy metals” because these elements’ atomic weights are greater than those of hydrogen or helium – are escaping its atmosphere. Meanwhile, the host star’s gravity is pulling on the planet and its atmosphere, stretching it into a football shape.
Bottom line: WASP-121b is a kind of hot Jupiter exoplanet rarely seen, a world so hot and so close to its star that heavy metal gases are being stripped from its atmosphere and the planet itself is being stretched into the shape of a football.
