3 Black Holes Possibly Seen Cooking Their Galaxies Alive
3 Black Holes Possibly Seen Cooking Their Galaxies Alive
Without the turbulence, the galaxies would die in just a few billion years.
An image shows how galaxy-sized bubbles shove gas around in the Perseus galaxy cluster. The X at the center of the image shows the location of the supermassive black hole at its center.
Supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies may be blasting hot, turbulent waves of gas through the cosmos, keeping galaxy clusters alive with their heat.
And for the first time, astrophysicists believe they've seen that turbulence in action.
Peer into a massive galaxy cluster and you'll see hot gas swirling at its core, filling the space between stars and galaxies. But there's a mystery about this gas. How does it stay so hot? Simple models suggest it should lose energy much faster than it does, and that gravity should start bind the whole cloud together into stars within about a billion years of it forming. Those stars would, in turn, burn out, and the galaxy would die with them. Astrophysicists call this process "catastrophic cooling." But this doesn’t happen.
It turns out, back in 2005, researchers found a partial explanation for why not. They found bubbles forming within those dense gas clouds, giant cavities in space — some as large as the Milky Way. These giant bubbles were moving away from the supermassive black holes at the galactic centers, and in turn, researchers wrote, seemed to prevent catastrophic cooling.
But the question remained: How does all that energy transfer into the gas around the bubbles? In a new paper, published to the arXiv database Nov. 18 (the paper has not yet gone through the formal peer review process), researchers report evidence of turbulence around the bubbles: swirls and eddies that spin off smaller swirls and eddies, which spin off smaller swirls still. Over time, the theory goes, that chaotic behavior reaches the microscopic level, where it dissipates as heat.
"You can picture the bubble as a spoon that's stirring the hot tea," study lead author Yuan Li, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, told Live Science.
Three images show the data the researchers used to find turbulence in the galaxy clusters. The black-and-white background shows an X-ray map of the galaxy clusters, with the bubbles visible as dark blotches. The cool filiments of gas are visible as red-to-blue heatmaps, with red indicating the gas is moving more quickly away from Earth, and blue indicating it's moving more in the direction of Earth. (Image credit: Li et al.)
The spoon creates a "bulk motion" of the tea, but pull out the spoon and you'll notice smaller swirls forming in the liquid, which create even smaller eddies. When the eddies stop spinning, it's because their energy has converted into heat, she said. In a mug on your table, the heating isn't very dramatic; you'd struggle to boil water just by stirring it. But the energy of the bubbles moving through space is much more intense, and it seems like turbulence converts a significant fraction of it from kinetic energy to heat.
Li and her co-authors didn't make any new observations to find the turbulence. Instead, they spotted it in data already available from the galaxy clusters Perseus, Abell 2597 and Virgo.
Filaments of cooler gas thread through the clouds at the centers of those galaxies, Li said. This incredibly precise, high-resolution data allowed Li to make a map of how fast the gas at each point was moving and in what direction.
That heat map showed a clear pattern of turbulence. "In a turbulence mode there's big eddies making little eddies making even smaller eddies. You've got a beautiful cascade," Li said.
The "beautiful cascade" appeared to show up in each galaxy cluster's center.
"I didn't expect that, no one expected that," she said.
Even the smallest eddies here are on an unimaginable scale, large enough to easily swallow our solar system. After all, Li said, they're taking place in what amount to dense "trash cans full of galaxies." Brian McNamara, lead author of the 2005 Nature paper that first suggested the bubbles might be warming these gases, said he found the new finding fascinating, but had reservations.
"It's all very interesting. But it's not conclusive to my mind. I'm not completely convinced," McNamara told Live Science. McNamara, who is chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Canada's University of Waterloo, said the most important issue is that the cascades Li and colleagues found don't quite match what you'd expect from turbulence alone. That suggests other effects could be at work, the study authors wrote, or perhaps there's some unknown physics governing the behavior of turbulence in these extreme conditions.
McNamara also wondered whether the researchers had fully disentangled the effects of other kinds of motions in the gases from true turbulence.
He also pointed out that some theorists suspect turbulence may actually cool the gas more than it heats it.
All that said, he added, this is a good paper with lots of good researchers involved.
It sounds unbelievable, but a new study from Kagoshima University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan says that exoplanets – thousands of them – could be orbiting supermassive black holes.
Artist’s concept of a black hole with its bright surrounding disk of gas and dust – and jets extending from its poles – plus many orbiting planets.
Exoplanets – worlds orbiting other stars – are common, with billions estimated to exist in our galaxy alone. They’ve been found around all sorts of stars, including sunlike stars, red dwarfs and even pulsars. There also seem to be rogue planets, which don’t orbit any stars, but instead just wander lonely though interstellar space. And now a new study suggests there might be yet another entirely new class of planets, orbiting supermassive black holes.
The intriguing findings were announced by researchers at Kagoshima University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan on November 25, 2019. The new peer-reviewed study was published in The Astrophysical Journal on November 26, 2019.
It sounds like something out of science fiction, but according to the researchers, black holes that have massive disks of dust and gas surrounding them (called circumnuclear disks), just like protoplanetary disks around young stars, could produce planets – a lot of them – just like the disks around stars. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) could have thousands of planets orbiting them, the researchers say. Although orbiting the black hole, the planets would likely be a long way from the black hole itself, around 10 light-years. From the paper:
As a natural consequence of the elementary processes of dust growth, we discovered that a new class of planets can be formed around supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We investigated a growth path from submicron sized icy dust monomers to Earth-sized bodies outside the “snow line,” located several parsecs from SMBHs in low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

With the right conditions, planets could be formed even in harsh environments, such as around a black hole.
Eiichiro Kokubo, a professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, said:
Our calculations show that tens of thousands of planets with 10 times the mass of the Earth could be formed around 10 light-years from a black hole. Around black holes there might exist planetary systems of astonishing scale.

The amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole can be enormous, as much as a hundred thousand times the mass of our sun, or about a billion times more than in a typical protoplanetary disk.
How would planets form in such an environment?
In a disk around a black hole, the dust is so dense that it blocks radiation from the black hole itself. This allows temperatures cool enough for icy dust grains to stick together and aggregate, just like they do in protoplanetary disks around stars. The researchers calculated that planets could form in several hundred million years in this manner around black holes.
Such black hole planets can’t yet be directly detected with current telescopes, but the findings open up a tentative and fascinating new field of study. From the paper:
Observing planets around SMBHs should be challenging. The standard techniques to detect exoplanets around stars, i.e., Doppler spectroscopy, transit photometry, gravitational microlensing, or direct imaging are hopeless. Photometry by a hard X-ray interferometer in space might be a possible solution, but the occultation of the accretion disk by the “planets” would be hard to distinguish from the intrinsic time variability of AGNs. The other, indirect way is detecting spectral changes in the millimeter-wavelength due to opacity variation associated with the dust growth as used in the protoplanetary disk.
It’s already known that stars can also orbit black holes, such as the ones orbiting the supermassive black hole – called Sagittarius A* – at the center of our galaxy.

Black holes aren’t really holes, but objects that have gravitational pulls so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The “surface” of a black hole, called the event horizon, is the boundary where the velocity needed to escape exceeds the speed of light. Matter and radiation fall in, but they can’t get out.
There are two main classes of black holes. Stellar-mass black holes are three to dozens of times the sun’s mass. The supermassive black holes already discussed are 100,000 to billions of solar masses, and are located in the centers of most large galaxies, including ours. There may also be intermediate-mass black holes, about 100 to more than 10,000 solar masses. There are candidates, but they have not yet been confirmed to exist.
Bottom line: Supermassive black holes could have thousands of exoplanets orbiting them, according to a new study from Japan.
Study shows there’s nothing wacky about conspiracy theorists
Study shows there’s nothing wacky about conspiracy theorists
Jessica Fagan
Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have delved into the world of online conspiracy theories, showing most of the people behind them are actually pretty ordinary.
The study looked at eight years of content, sifting through more than two billion comments posted on Reddit, including everything posted to the subreddit r/conspiracy.
Image credit: Pixabay
R/conspiracy covers everything from UFOs and 9/11, to political conspiracy theories like 'pizzagate', which took off during the 2016 US election campaign.
But despite the subject matter, lead author of the study Dr Colin Klein says conspiracy theorists aren't always a bunch of "crackpots wearing tinfoil hats".
"In the past before the rise of online forums like Reddit, we tended to only hear about the most extreme views, and those people tended to naturally be wary about talking to someone else about their beliefs," Dr Klein said.
"These massive online forums paint a very different picture.
"The enormous set of comments we examined show many r/conspiracy users actually have more 'sensible' interests.
"For example conspiracy theories about police abuse of power are common. That's not so crazy.
"These people might believe false things, but with good reason - because similar things have happened in the past."
Professor Klein and his team also found that while there are subtle differences in the language used by those who end up posting on r/conspiracy, it's not necessarily enough to set them apart from other Reddit users.
"You might find they talk more about power or power structures, but their language is not that different from what ordinarily goes on in a forum like r/politics. You can't distinguish them that way.
"It's very easy to look at conspiracy theories and think they're super wacky, and the people who believe in them are crazy, but it's actually much more continuous with a lot of things we do every day.
"Low level theorising goes on a lot in everyday life, I'm inclined to think the stuff you see online is just a strong outgrowth of that."
According to Dr Klein, forums like r/conspiracy can also be driven by current events.
"For example, Reddit attracted a whole new set of users following the election of US President Donald Trump.
"He also generates quite a lot of in-fighting amongst users. This is what makes it such great way to study social dynamics."
The data also reveals how people come to start posting on the r/conspiracy forum. The rise of Internet echo chambers is a factor - but there's much more at play.
"We followed people who started using Reddit and posted for about six months before they ended up on r/conspiracy," Dr Klein said.
"You find two people who, for example, both started on the popular 'ask me anything' Reddit, and one ends up talking about conspiracies and one doesn't.
"People who go on to post on r/conspiracy also tend to be over-represented in the political forums, but it's not like they're hyper-focused.
"This suggests a more active process where people are seeking out sympathetic communities. This process of finding like-minded people is something we see a lot of on the Internet."
The research has been published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Schokkend onderzoek: er is absoluut niks geks aan complottheoretici, concluderen deze Australische wetenschappers
Schokkend onderzoek: er is absoluut niks geks aan complottheoretici, concluderen deze Australische wetenschappers
Er is een studie verschenen over complottheorieën die níet is gefinancierd door miljardair George Soros en zijn trawanten. Dat mag wel in de krant. En het staat ook in de krant.
Wetenschappers van de Australian National University (ANU) zijn in de wereld van complottheorieën op internet gedoken.
Mensen die geloven in dit soort theorieën worden in de media altijd gekscherend complotgekkies, aluhoedjes, antivaxxers of Poetin-apologeten genoemd.
Heel normaal
Kortom: bij dergelijke mensen zit duidelijk een steekje los.
De Australische wetenschappers zijn echter tot een schokkende conclusie gekomen, namelijk dat de meeste mensen die in complottheorieën geloven eigenlijk heel normaal zijn. Laat dat even bezinken.
Ze bestudeerden meer dan twee miljard reacties die op Reddit waren geplaatst, inclusief de subreddit r/conspiracy.
In deze subreddit lees je alles over UFO’s, 9/11 en politieke complottheorieën zoals ‘pizzagate’, die tijdens de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen werd gelanceerd.
Heel ander beeld
“Complottheoretici zijn lang niet altijd idioten met een aluminium hoedje,” zei hoofdonderzoeker Colin Klein.
“Voor de opkomst van forums zoals Reddit, hoorden we alleen over de meest extreme denkbeelden, en die mensen praten vaak liever niet met anderen over hun overtuigingen,” zei dr. Klein.
Deze grote internetfora schetsen een heel ander beeld, benadrukte hij.
De enorme aantallen reacties in r/conspiracy die we hebben bestudeerd, zijn geplaatst door over het algemeen verstandige mensen, concludeerden de onderzoekers.
Verschilt nauwelijks
Zo zijn er veel mensen die geloven in complottheorieën over machtsmisbruik door de politie. Daar is niks geks aan, aldus Klein.
Mensen die berichten plaatsen in r/conspiracy lijken eigenlijk heel erg op andere Reddit-gebruikers, ontdekte zijn team.
“Hun taalgebruik verschilt nauwelijks van dat van mensen die een forum als r/politics volgen,” zei hij.
“Je kunt ze op basis van taalgebruik niet van elkaar onderscheiden,” vervolgde hij.
Niet het geval
Het is heel makkelijk om te denken dat complottheorieën en de mensen die erin geloven gestoord zijn, maar dat is duidelijk niet het geval, klonk het.
Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in tijdschrift PLOS ONE.
Op aarde leven reptielachtige wezens die hier al langer zijn dan mensen, ze geven lagere vibraties af en hun ogen geven licht in het donker.
Zij leven onder de mensen, zien eruit als mensen en geven moedermelk aan hun kindjes, maar het zijn geen zoogdieren.
Dat onze aarde wordt bezocht door buitenaardsen is voor de meesten onder ons hier niets nieuws. Het feit dat ze ook gewoon onder ons leven is voor velen toch iets dat moeilijk te begrijpen is.
Via een lezer (dank!) kregen wij het volgende zeer interessante bericht over een vrouw die onder hypnose communiceert met een buitenaardse en het volgende is wat hij schrijft:
Mijn moeder heeft mij twee hele interessante Russische video's laten zien (twee delen van één geheel). In deze video wordt een vrouw in hypnose verbonden met een buitenaards wezen (waarschijnlijk reptiloïde). Via die vrouw (die onder hypnose is) worden er heel veel vragen gesteld aan dat wezen en worden er ook veel interessante antwoorden gegeven.
Het wezen waarmee gecommuniceerd werd, had lage vibraties, dus voor hem om via de vrouw te spreken, moesten de vibraties van de vrouw ook worden verlaagd. Na de hypnose moesten de vibraties van de vrouw worden verhoogd.
Aanvankelijk begon ik tijdens het kijken van de video een paar aantekeningen te maken voor mijzelf. Na een tijdje werd alles zo interessant, dat ik woord voor woord notities begon te maken. Jammer genoeg kon ik niet alles verstaan door geruis (de man die precies in een antwoord in de microfoon blaast) of doordat de vrouw onder hypnose dingen soms heel onduidelijk uitspreekt. Ik heb toch geprobeerd om alles zo goed mogelijk te vertalen, aanvankelijk voor mijzelf, maar daarna dacht ik: "Dit is best interessant. Dit wil de redactie van Niburu vast ook weten! "
Op plekken waarvan ik niet 100% zeker wist of mijn vertaling wel nauwkeurig genoeg was, heb ik voor de zekerheid de originele Russische tekst erbij gezet (zie bijlage).
De hoogtepunten van de video's samengevat:
- Op Aarde leven reptielachtige wezens, die hier al langer waren dan de mensen. Zij leven onder de mensen, zien eruit als mensen en geven moedermelk aan hun kindjes, maar het zijn geen zoogdieren. Zij geven lagere vibraties af dan mensen en hun ogen geven licht in het donker.
De criminele wereld bestaat uit reptiloïden.
- De mensen zijn gecreëerd door mensachtige wezens die van de planeet Nibiru komen.
- Die mensachtige wezens hebben in ons DNA kunstmatige angst en afkeer tegen de reptiloïden ingebouwd. De reptiloïde was van mening dat wij af moeten komen van deze genetische blokkade.
- Mensen hebben geestelijke mentoren van een hogere beschaving die ons werk in de gaten houdt en ons technologie schenkt.
- Dinosaurussen leven nog op Aarde en zij planten ook voort, maar zij wonen ondergronds. Er zijn vijf ingangen naar hun ondergrondse wereld, waarvan er drie gesloten zijn. Er zal een moment komen dat duizenden van hen worden losgelaten op het oppervlak.
- De Verenigde Staten van Amerika, Canada en Engeland beschikken over driehoekvormige vliegende schotels; een technologie die hen gegeven is door de reptiloïden, maar deze vliegende schotels hebben als beperking dat zij onze planeet niet kunnen verlaten. De achterliggende technologie is: torsievelden en ether.
- Sigaretvormige vliegende schotels zijn van de reptiloïden, terwijl cirkelvormige vliegende schotels met vijf lichtjes naar beneden en drie lichtjes naar boven van de grijze beschaving zijn.
- Rusland is technologisch verder dan de VSA, Canada en Engeland, omdat men in Rusland portalen heeft. Dit is een stap verder.
- Reptiloïden zijn aan de macht in Rusland, maar is een machtsstrijd gaande in Rusland tussen de reptiloïden en demonen.
- Mensen kunnen kanker allang al genezen, maar geld verhindert ons.
- Aardse overheden hebben als taak om iedereen die te ver ontwikkeld is en die te veel weet, te vernietigen.
- Alle mensen op Aarde zijn geïnfecteerd met mini-robotjes, die verspreid worden via vliegtuigen en die ook in onze fruit, groenten en zelfs water zitten. Deze mini-robotjes nestelen zich in onze cellen en zelfs ons DNA en wachten het vernietigingscommando af. Mensen beschikken nog niet over de technologie om deze mini-robotjes te detecteren, laat staan om hen te verwijderen. Op de vraag of er in Rusland ook aan chemtrails gedaan werd, luidde het antwoord: "Over de hele wereld!"
- Varkens werden als eerste geïnfecteerd met deze mini-robotjes.
Daarom mochten mensen geen varkensvlees eten.
Ikzelf ben eerder geconfronteerd geweest met het verhaal dat reptielachtige wezens tussen de mensen leven vermomd als mens, maar ik vond dat nogal sterke verhalen. Deze twee video's, echter, hebben mijn ogen geopend.
Ik heb door deze video ongelofelijk veel informatie binnengekregen die ik hiervoor nooit had. Het mooie is: de video staat openbaar op het Internet, dus iedereen kan het zien! Niet iedereen heeft het geluk Russisch te spreken, dus daarom dacht ik: "Ik zal een beetje helpen!
Hierna de twee Russischtalige video's en daarna de uitgebreide aantekeningen die door de lezer zijn gemaakt.
Sigaretvormige vliegende objecten zijn van de reptiloïden. Hier staat zeven sterren op en een draakachtige slang in een cirkel.
Driehoekige vliegende objecten zijn Aardse objecten uit de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Hier rust een alleenrecht op, zo blijkt uit de gegevens van Wikileaks: TR - 3b project Astra. De VSA, Canada en Groot-Brittannië zijn in het bezit van deze driehoekige vliegende objecten.
Cirkelvormig ruimteschip met vijf lichtjes naar beneden en drie naar boven: grijze beschaving.
De mensen zijn al bijna klaar om de reptiloïden in hun echte vorm te zien.
De mensen zijn nog niet klaar om met de reptiloïden samen te werken. Er zijn nu onderontwikkelde wezens die alleen in het astrale kunnen zijn en die zich alleen voeden met menselijke energie. Het is niet leuk om dat tegen ons te vertellen. ("Нам говорить это - не интересно") Wij zijn vooruitgegaan. De reptiloïden hebben oogpupillen die vanaf de zijkanten open en dichtgaan.
Deze wezens kunnen jou meenemen op hun schip. "Не надо испытывать - мы можем просто так общаться."
Vanaf 13:05 zegt via hypnose - waarschijnlijk reptiloïde - "onze schepen zijn goed genoeg verborgen. Geen menselijk oog is goed genoeg om onze schepen te zien. Wij krijgen hiervoor op onze kop."
"замахнулись на всех цивилизаций!" (Что это значит?)
"Смешно. Если я вам сейчас скажу на вашем планете много рас, то главнее всего... "
Я бы не сказала, что они (спруты) далеко от нас ушли."
Er is een ander buitenaards ras, спруты, die blijkbaar verder ontwikkeld is dan de reptiloïden, maar de reptiloïde zegt daarover: "Ik zou niet zeggen dat zij veel verder zijn dan wij in de ontwikkeling."
"Wij hebben afspraken met Aardse overheden." ~ "Er wordt op jullie gelet, zodat er niks met jullie zal gebeuren."
"Wie let er dan op ons?" ---> "Jullie geestelijke mentoren. Dat is de hogere beschaving, die jullie werk in de gaten houdt. Zij geven jullie techniek en programma's voor jullie ontwikkeling. Is het zo duidelijk?"
Amerikaanse ruimteschepen kunnen van één punt naar het andere reizen, maar alleen binnen de Aardse grenzen. Zij kunnen niet de ruimte in vliegen. Mensen kunnen de ruimte al in vliegen; bij ons (Rusland?) is die technologie nog in ontwikkeling.
Rusland kan deze technologie gebruiken en gebruikt deze ook, maar niet tot het einde. Rusland bezit andere technische middelen: portalen.
"Waar in Rusland wordt dit ontwikkeld?" ---> "Ik heb het recht niet om de exacte locatie te geven, maar ik kan wel zeggen: daar waar het ijs is. Ik hoop dat jij het begrijpt" ---> "Ja, ik begrijp het."
19:35: "Wie heeft de technologie van deze driehoekige vliegende schotels gegeven aan de VSA, Canada en Engeland?" ---> "Reptiloïden die met jullie op deze planeet wonen. Overigens, als ik eerlijk ben: de criminele bevolking van de Aarde; dat zijn reptiloïden. Niet jullie, helaas."
19:56: "Waar komen wij dan vandaan?" ---> "Er is een planeet, die jullie Nibiru noemen. Jullie scheppers komen daar vandaan, degenen die jullie gemaakt hebben."
"Voor jullie waren er andere wezens - die lichamelijk erg jullie lijken - die hier samen met de reptiloïden leefden. Hele grote mensen die het licht van de Aarde droegen. Er was een grote oorlog toen die wezens hier kwamen. De reptiloïden besloten zich er niet mee te bemoeien; zij gingen ondergronds en gingen observeren. Tot op heden zijn zij waarnemers, die van de zijlijn toekijken. Zij (de reptiloïden) bemoeiden zich niet met de oorlog."
"Raakt de hypno-energie niet op?" ---> "Maak jou geen zorgen. Jullie [woord dat ik niet ken] heeft voldoende energie voor ons gesprek."
"Dus, de dinosaurussen, die dus zijn uitgestorven" ---> "He. He." (lachje)
"Geef antwoord op de vraag over die periode, toen hier dinosaurussen overbleven: wie waren dat?" ---> "Zij zijn nog steeds hier." ---> "Nu zijn ze hier niet meer. Ze zijn allemaal uitgestorven" ---> "Niet waar. Zij voelen zich heel goed onder de grond. Zij leven en planten zich voort. Binnenkort breekt de periode aan dat de eerste dinosaurus wordt losgelaten, en achter hem volgen duizenden anderen." ---> "Hoe is het mogelijk van de ene naar de andere wereld te komen, waar zij wonen? Waar is de ingang?" ---> "Er zijn zoetwatermeren en oceanen waar de ingang bestaat uit grotten die naar de ondergrondse wereld leiden." ---> "Heeft Rusland ook zo een ingang?" ---> "Twee ingangen zijn open; drie zijn er gesloten." ---> "Kun jij zeggen waar de ingangen open zijn? In welke delen van Rusland?" ---> "Bergen, Ararat. Één puntje is open. Wij kunnen neerkomen; jullie leiders gaven ons toegang, de reptiloïde wezens."
"Voeren jullie geen oorlog met de reptiloïde wezens?" ---> "Waarom zouden wij met jullie of met hen oorlogvoeren? Jullie voeren ons; wij hebben handelsbelangen. Waarvoor?" ---> "Oh, dus jullie voeren handel? Waar handelen jullie in?" ---> "In voor ons onmisbare stoffen; in voor ons onmisbare energie. Wij geven technologieën, van verschillende planeten." ---> "Handelen jullie ook in menselijke energie?" ---> "Zeker. Ik kan het zo zeggen: op de ruimteschepen van de reptiloïden staan zeven sterren. Zeven planeten, die zich in jullie melkweg bevinden. Nu zijn het er vijf. Twee sterren mogen daarom worden weggestreept, maar zij gebruiken er nog steeds zeven, maar in werkelijkheid beheersen de reptiloïden maar vijf planeten." ---> "Welke planeten beheersen jullie nog meer? Estherische planeten?" ---> "Fysieke planeten. Ik heb het met u over fysieke planeten." ---> "Oké, op welke planeten? Kun jij dat aangeven?" ---> "Ik kan het zo zeggen: Jupiter en Saturnus zijn voor hen gesloten. De overige vijf; ik heb geen [zegt iets heel onduidelijks]"
"Die driehoekvormige schotels, waar vliegen zij op? Op welke technologie?" ---> "Torsievelden (Russisch: "торсионные поля")" ---> "En waar komt de energie vandaan?" ---> "Ether. (Russisch: "Эфир")" ---> "Wat verwerkt de ether en wat komt daaruit? Welke energie? Welke beweging?" ---> "Ether kan dichtheid creëren, dichtheid weghalen en de dichtheid doorlatend maken." (Russisch: "Эфир может создавать плотность, убирать плотность и сделать её проницаемый")
"Jullie geleerden weten allang al hoe dit moet. Ik bedoel, jullie Russische geleerden. Vraagt u over Rusland?" ---> "Nee, maar wij hebben toch niet de schotels die Canada, Engeland en Amerika hebben? Daarom vraag ik over..." ---> "Jullie beschaving loopt voor. Jullie hebben die bewegende dingen niet nodig, wanneer jullie geleerd hebben om lichamen te verplaatsen in de ruimte." (Russisch: "Ваша цивилизация впереди. Вам не нужны такие передвигающие вещи, когда вы научились тела перемещать в пространстве.") ---> "De ruimte dichtbij de Aarde?" (Russisch: "Пространство околоземное?") ---> "Ja, op dit moment wordt de technologie nog aan jullie gegeven, aan jullie planeet. Jullie hebben geen toegang om van planeet naar planeet te reizen. Die toegang wordt geopend op [geluid verstoort het antwoord]" ---> "Ja, ja, ik begrijp het. Welke beschaving heeft Rusland?" ---> "Specifiek Rusland?" ---> "Ja" ---> "Ik zal het zo zeggen: op dit moment zitten reptiloïde wezens bij jullie aan de top. Maar, er is een machtsstrijd gaande." ---> "Wie is er nog meer betrokken bij die machtsstrijd, behalve reptiloïde wezens?" ---> "Duistere werelden. Jullie noemen hen: "demonen". Dat is een stof met lage trillingen. Maar, zij kan ook in de materiële wereld bestaan. Zij heeft goed geleerd om te materialiseren." ---> "Bestonden de donkere werelden eerder dan de reptiloïde wezens of hun beschaving? Of waren de reptiloïden eerst?" ---> "De reptiloïden waren er eerder." ---> "Wie heeft de donkere werelden gecreëerd?" ---> "De duistere werelden werden heel lang geleden al gecreëerd, en zij vero... veroviir... verovaren constant planeten" ---> "Veroveren. Duidelijk. Wie heeft de donkere werelden dan gecreëerd? Aanvankelijk, als de reptiloïden er eerst waren, dan moet iemand die donkere werelden toch gecreëerd hebben?" ---> "oecumenisch ras" (Russisch: "вселенский рас") ---> "Zitten zij op alle planeten?" ---> "Jammerlijk genoeg, praktisch overal, maar er zijn planeten waar de toegang gesloten is." ---> "Duidelijk" ---> "Waarom is in Rusland alles zo problematisch? Is Rusland een kolonie, of leidt Rusland haar eigen vooruitgang? (Russisch: "Ну а что-ж в России так всё проблематично? Россия является колония, или Россия сама ведёт свою развитию?")" ---> "Rusland leidt haar eigen ontwikkeling, maar de hele planeet is een kolonie. Herinnert u zich de angst voor het getal zeeeeeeeeeees-zeeeeeees-zeeeeeees? " ---> "Ja, maar waarom angst? Wat is dat voor een getal? Wat zit daarachter?" ---> "Heel simpel. 6 planeten, 6 ruimten (Russisch: "пространств") hebben dezelfde boerderijen als op Aarde. Wezens die hun energieën voeden, en ons allemaal als één. (Russisch: "Существ которым питают их энергий, и нас всех в целом.") Zeeeees-zeeeees-zeeeees. 6 planeten. 6 dimensies en 6 wat? Wat kwam er als laatste?" ---> "[onduidelijk uitgesproken woord]" ---> "Oh, oké, duidelijk. Is dat hier een levenslange beschaving waar energie uit gehaald wordt, of zal de beschaving bevrijd worden uit die kolonie?" ---> "De beschaving kan zich bevrijden in haar ontwikkeling." ---> "En waar moet de beschaving heen, als deze zichzelf bevrijdt?" ---> "Vuur kan op elke planeet leven, wil zich spiritueel ontwikkelen, wil in harmonie voor het licht kiezen." ---> "Gewoon even tussendoor. Is het mogelijk om mensen energetisch van kanker te genezen?" ---> "Dat hebben jullie uitgevonden. Jullie kunnen oncologie allang al genezen, maar het geld verhindert jullie." ---> "Wat energetica betreft: is het technisch mogelijk om via ons transformatieprogramma..." ---> "Jij moet jouzelf verbeteren. Dan vernietig jij de kankercellen, maar het herprogrammeren van jouw lichaam leidt tot algemene herprogrammering. Wanneer wezens van andere planeten jullie maakten, hebben zij in jullie genoom afkeer tegen reptiloïden geactiveerd. Voor zover de reptiloïden hier leefden, hebben zij jullie genetische angst tegen reptiloïden ingebracht. Jullie afkeer tegen reptiloïden zit dus op genetisch niveau. Maar, reptiloïden zijn niet zo eng als jullie denken. Reptiloïden kunnen jullie helpen met jullie ontwikkeling, maar jullie genetische blokkade houdt dat tegen. Jullie onterechte gegeven kennis beïnvloed jullie wereldbeeld. De blokkade moet worden opgeheven."
"Zitten er in Rusland reptiloïden tussen de beroemdheden?" ---> "Een reptiloïde is een reptiloïde en een mens is een mens." ---> "Zijn er hybriden?" ---> "Kijk naar wat ik zeg: Aardse reptiloïden leven vele eeuwen op de schoot van mensen. Zij hebben dezelfde lichaamsbouw als mensen, hebben geen staart, de vrouwen hebben dezelfde borsten als menselijke vrouwen en geven melk aan de kleintjes. Dat is al ongeveer 3 miljoen jaar zo. Maar, het zijn geen zoogdieren. Het is gewoon een toegankelijke optie om kinderen te voeden; dit ook de betere variant. Maar, hun huid is anders dan die van jullie (mensen). Onze huid is gladder en heeft geen pili ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilus ). Aan de kant van de rug bij het ruggenmerg zit schubafval verzameld in een strakke frame. Dit gedeelte is bij hen heel gevoelig. De ogen zijn zijwaarts geplant. Er is haar op het hoofd, maar zij verven hun haar altijd een dusdanige kleur dat bij hun leeftijd past. Tussen de mensen kun jij hen herkennen doordat zij nooit strakke kleren dragen, vanwege hun gevoelige huid. Strakke kleding brengt hen pijn en ongemak. Zij hebben altijd "vliegende" en mooie kleding. En zij kunnen ook - vooral in de zomer - gaan zonnebaden. Daar genieten zij enorm van, net zoveel als dat jullie (mensen) genieten van seksuele genoegens." ---> "En welke verschillen zijn er nog meer?" ---> "Zij bezitten telekinetische krachten. Al hun communicatie loopt via gedachtenvorming. Allemaal. En zij zien de wereld niet door jullie kunstmatig aangebrachte, genetische blokkades, maar zoals dat miljarden jaren geleden was, dus een juiste waarneming van de wereld." ---> "Hoe verwijderen wij onze genetische blokkade, om de wereld net zo te zien als jullie reptiloïden?" ---> "Jullie hebben reptiloïden die met mensen willen praten, vooral jonge individuen die wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen leiden, in groepen van mensen." ---> "Weten zij dat jij hen bestempelt als reptiloïde?" ---> "Ongetwijfeld. Het zijn toch geen idioten? Zij weten dat zij reptiloïden zijn. In jullie netwerken is er correspondentie, maar mensen nemen dit niet serieus. Zij lachen eroverheen." ---> "Welke correspondentie?" ---> "De exacte gegevens zou ik moeten achterhalen, maar ik weet dat zulke individuen er zijn, en niet alleen in Rusland, maar op Aarde in het algemeen, die met jullie communiceren en jullie hun wereldkennis geven. Maar, niet één persoon, behalve degenen die hen (reptiloïden) contacteren, neemt het contact serieus. Maar, jullie organisatie, ik bedoel jullie leiders - ik hoop dat jullie snappen over wie ik het heb - zodra zij de ernst van de bedoelingen inzien, proberen zij alle kennis die naar hen leidt te vernietigen. Daarom waarschuw ik jullie zodat jullie voorzichtig zijn in wat jullie schrijven en in jullie belangrijke dingen. Het leven is voor jullie een behoorlijk dunne [onverstaanbaar... грай?], helaas is dat zo." ---> "Wat voor dunne [грай?] bedoelt u?" ---> "Ik zal het zo zeggen: ik praat met u over een fysiek plan. Daarom zijn mensen die ver gegaan zijn in hun ontwikkeling onderworpen aan onmiddellijke vernietiging, in het fysieke plan." --> "Wie houdt dat in de gaten?" ---> "De mensen van de overheid, die opzettelijk donker zijn, willen niet dat jullie beschaving aan de controle ontsnapt. Daarvoor worden jullie beïnvloed door verschillende technologieën, die erop ingericht zijn jullie als geheel te laten verdwijnen." ---> "Welke technologieën zijn dat? Mag ik dat weten? Noem eens een voorbeeld." ---> "Al lang geleden, in de middeleeuwen, zijn micro-robotjes ontwikkeld die het menselijke lichaam betreden om deze te raken. Jullie denken aan ziektes, maar dat is in werkelijkheid het werk van de mini-robotjes, die de balans van het lichaam verstoren door een destructieve structuur op te zetten." ---> "Hoe komen die micro-robots in ons lichaam?" ---> "Vliegtuigen besproeien deze mini-robots" ---> "Ah, dus jij bedoelt die - zoals Amerikanen dat noemen - chemtrails?" ---> "Misschien wel" ---> "Worden deze (mini-robotjes) in Rusland ook besproeid?" ---> "Over de hele wereld" ---> "Dus, elk mens heeft ze (de mini-robotjes)?" ---> "[onverstaanbaar woord] als konijnen" ---> "Dus, heeft elk mens die mini-robotjes? Hoe detecteer jij deze? Hoe deactiveer jij deze?" ---> "Jullie beschikken nog niet over de technologie om deze (mini-robotjes) te zien, maar ik kan het volgende zeggen: het is niet zonder reden dat jullie geen varkensvlees eten, want zij (varkens) waren de eersten die wij infecteerden. Ik zal het zo zeggen: jullie fruit, jullie groenten en zelfs jullie water, zijn al geïnfecteerd, helaas." ---> "Leuk" ---> "Ja..." ---> "Ik begrijp het, ik begrijp het. Wij zijn allemaal geïnfecteerd met micro-robotjes. Zijn dat bierrobotjes, of is het iets mechanisch?" ---> "De mini-robotjes zijn in jullie cellen en zelfs DNA ingebouwd, en wachten op het vernietigingscommando" ---> "En wie doet dat allemaal?" ---> "Jullie planeetvriendjes" ---> "Dus, het is niet mogelijk om dit te detecteren?" ---> "Dit was ongeveer 2500 jaar geleden. Toen was deze technologie ontwikkeld. Al 300 jaar werkt dit op planetair niveau, in jullie lichamen." ---> "Goed dan. Dank u wel. Kan ik nog met u praten? Hoe moet ik u oproepen?" ---> "Ik heb in het begin een code doorgegeven. De namen van de beschavingen die u gegeven zijn, zijn geen namen." ---> "Oké, maar kun jij de code herhalen?" ---> (tijdsprong) ---> "Bedankt voor het gesprek." ---> "Mijn vibraties..." ---> "Het was leuk om met u te praten, maar er wacht een client. Wij moeten het echt afsluiten." ---> "Ja, ik ben u dankbaar voor het gesprek." ---> "Ik roep u morgen op. Bent u er morgen nog?" ---> "Zeker" ---> "Bedankt" ---> "Neutrale zone. Verkrijg 400% van de energie. U moet uw vibraties verhogen."
I was looking over some old Spirit Rover photo and came across something unusual. A tiny life form was crawling from out under a rock. It was pink and long, and looks like its semi wet. It is a pink earth worm. I don't know how, but its there. For this to exist, the soil on Mars would have to be equal to that of earths. Where there is one...there are many. Not only is this proof that life exists on Mars, albeit small...but that the soil is being replenished by worms making the soil potentially great for farming.

UFO Fleet Over New York City Seen Dec 1, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Fleet Over New York City Seen Dec 1, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 1, 2019 Location of sighting: New York, USA
Several huge glowing UFOs were seen over New York City last night. There are four glowing objects without aircraft lights moving ever so slowly over the city, but a helicopter with a red flashing light goes to investigate them. Interesting footage. Even John Lennon said he saw a UFO disk visiting him and his wife as they watched from their penthouse apartment patio. Alien in New York City...yes...they love it. Don't take my word for it, listen to John Lennon himself in the video below. Scott C. Waring
Possible Nibiru Planet X Seen Near Earths Sun, Nov 24, 201, UFO Sighting News.
Possible Nibiru Planet X Seen Near Earths Sun, Nov 24, 2019, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 24, 2019 Location of sighting: Earths Sun Source: MUFON #104808 Now this is interesting. A person took a photo of the sun using a home made filter (red filter) and caught a huge sphere near our sun. The sphere is big, about 20X the size of earth or more. I put the red photo that he took into negative formate (blue) and the detail came out better. You can easily see a giant sphere near our sun. Something NASA has not told us about nor will they ever mention it. The eyewitness is worried that the object is Nibiru, a legendary planet or space station that can change directions and visits earth every 10,000-15,000 years. Nibieru has been recorded from ancient times all the way back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs which speak of it. Its linked to the fall of different human species and the rise of a superior species each visit. Its like earth is an experiment and they are the scientists...and at the end of each experiment the subjects must be put down...so they don't pollute future exponents. Thats how human scientists work when using live test subjects. Even NASA has admired to a invisible planet out there somewhere in our solar system. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
I decided to take a picture of the sun using very dark see through plastic and I captured some spherical object or planet just to the left of the sun. Was this planet Nibiru?
Why Are UFOs Always Deactivating Nuclear Missiles?
Why Are UFOs Always Deactivating Nuclear Missiles?
It's public knowledge that the US was interested in testing nukes on the moon. But did they actually do it? One high ranking military officials thinks so.
At first there was Project A119, also known as A Study of Lunar Research Flights, was a top-secret plan developed in 1958 by the United States Air Force. The aim of the project was to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon, which would help in answering some of the mysteries in planetary astronomy and astrogeology.
If the explosive device detonated on the surface, not in a lunar crater, the flash of explosive light would have been faintly visible to people on Earth with their naked eye, a show of force resulting in a possible boosting of domestic morale in the capabilities of the United States.
The project was never carried out, being cancelled primarily out of a fear of a negative public reaction, with the potential militarization of space that it would also have signified, and because a Moon landing would undoubtedly be a more popular achievement in the eyes of the American and international public alike.
But then in 2009 NASA revealed that they crashed a rocket and a satellite into the moon's surface. Nasa's mission's goal was to scan for water in dust kicked up by crash.
But was it just a rocket and a satellite or they actually tried to detonate a nuclear device on the moon?
Probably not, but there are reasons to be optimistic about our near-future prospects.
The Allen Telescope Array in northern California is dedicated to astronomical observations and a simultaneous search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).
In the past three decades, scientists have found more than 4,000 exoplanets. And the discoveries will keep rolling in; observations suggest that every star in the Milky Way galaxy hosts more than one planet on average.
Given a convergence of ground- and space-based capability, artificial intelligence/machine learning research and other tools, are we on the verge of identifying what is universally possible for life — or perhaps even confirming the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence?
Is 2020 the celestial payoff year, in which objects of interest are found to offer "technosignatures," indicators of technology developed by advanced civilizations?
Space.com asked top SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) experts about what next year may signal regarding detecting other starfolk.
Gaining speed
"Well, despite being the widely celebrated 100-year anniversary of the election of Warren G. Harding, 2020 will not likely gain fame as the year we first discover extraterrestrial life," said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.
The search for intelligent beings elsewhere, Shostak said, is largely conducted by checking out nearby star systems for either narrow-band radio signals or brief flashes of laser light. And those might succeed at any time, he told Space.com.
"But one should remember that this type of search is gaining speed in an exponential fashion, and that particular technical fact allows a crude estimate of when SETI might pay off. If we take — for lack of a better estimate — Frank Drake's opinion that there might be 10,000 broadcasting societies in the Milky Way, then we clearly have to examine at least one [million] – 10 million stellar systems to have a reasonable chance of tripping across one. That goal will be reached in the next two decades, but certainly not in 2020," Shostak said.
Improved searches
But there are still reasons for intelligent-alien hunters to be excited and optimistic about the coming year. Multiple existing projects will either be expanded or improved in 2020, Shostak said. For example, the SETI Institute will get new receivers for the Allen Telescope Array in northern California, and both the SETI Institute and the University of California, Berkeley, will conduct new searches for possible laser technosignatures.
"And, of course, there's always the unexpected," Shostak said. "In 1996, the biggest science story of the year was the claim that fossilized Martian microbes had been found in a meteorite. No one really saw that coming. So one can always hope to be taken by surprise."

Previous predictions
"I am skeptical about picking a specific year for the first discovery. Previous predictions of success have been wrong," said Michael Michaud, author of the thought-provoking book "Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears about Encountering Extraterrestrials" (Copernicus, 2007).
"I and others have observed that the continued improvement of our search technologies and strategies could boost the odds for success," Michaud said, noting that the primary focus of SETI remains on radio signals. "However, we still don't cover all frequencies, all skies, all of the time. Other types of searches have failed, too, such as looking for laser signals or Dyson spheres [ET mega-engineering projects]. Those campaigns usually have limited funding and often don't last long."
A new possibility has arisen because of exoplanet discoveries, Michaud said: "In some cases, astronomers now can look for chemical evidence of life in planetary atmospheres. It is conceivable that we will find simple forms of life before we find signals from a technological civilization."
Prevailing opinion
If astronomers do someday confirm a SETI detection, how should they announce the discovery? It is an old question that has been answered in several ways.
"The prevailing opinion among radio astronomers has been that the news will leak quickly. If that is correct, scientific and governmental authorities won't have much time for developing a public-affairs strategy," Michaud said.
"It remains possible that the sophisticated monitoring capabilities of intelligence agencies might be the first to detect hard evidence," Michaud said. "One might think that the government would have a plan to deal with such an event."
But, Michaud said that his own experience suggests that such plans are unlikely to be drawn up due to a "giggle factor" and would be forgotten as officials rotated out of their positions. He previously represented the U.S. Department of State in interagency discussions of national space policy.

Long-term project
"While I'm enthusiastic at the reinvigoration of technological-signatures work, and in particular the growth in looking across much of the electromagnetic spectrum, I think this is going to be a long-term project. I estimate a very small probability of success in any given year," said Pete Worden, executive director of the Breakthrough Initiatives. "But those chances are now orders of magnitude better than they were even a decade ago."
Breakthrough Initiatives is tackling the big question of life in the universe, the notable query about whether or not Earthkind is alone. Breakthrough Initiatives is a multifaceted group that's reinvigorating the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
"The Breakthrough Initiatives is committed to full and immediate disclosure of any and all results," Worden said. "We would rely on the principal investigators of our projects, along with their home institutions, to prepare and release both scientific reports and public announcements."
Despite the ongoing work by Breakthrough Listen, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and research into the detection of promising biosignatures and technosignatures, there's no reason to think 2020 would be the year for discovery, said Steven Dick, a recognized astrobiology scholar and writer of the award-winning book "Astrobiology, Discovery, and Societal Impact" (Cambridge University Press, 2018).
"In my view, all these things combine to increase the chances over the next decade of finding extraterrestrial intelligence. I would caution, though, that any discovery will be an extended process, consisting of detection and interpretation before any understanding is achieved," Dick said. "This is clear from the history of discovery, even when we thought we had evidence in hand."
Like Shostak, he cited the Mars meteorite ALH 84001, which in 1996 generated excitement and debate that ancient, microscopic life existed on the Red Planet.
"One thing that is certain is that we are getting a better handle on the issues of societal impact, should such a discovery be made. Many more social sciences and humanities people are getting involved in astrobiology, which is all to the good. In other words, we are preparing for discovery," Dick said. "So, I see the search advancing incrementally next year, but with an accelerating possibility that life will be discovered in the near future."

Three-way horse race
"There's plenty of real estate where life could exist," said Douglas Vakoch, president of the nonprofit Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) in San Francisco.
"We are right now on the verge of finding out whether there is life elsewhere in the universe, and there are three ways we could find it. Think of it as a three-way horse race to find ET," Vakoch said.
But will any of the horses cross the finish line in 2020?
It all depends on the prevalence of life beyond Earth, Vakoch said, and the number of targets we can scan with available technologies — whether these instruments are located in Earth-based observatories, in space-based telescopes or in craft that travel to other planets and moons in our solar system, Vakoch told Space.com.
So, will scientists find intelligent alien life next year?
"It all depends on how plentiful intelligent extraterrestrials are. If one in 10,00 star systems is home to an advanced civilization trying to make contact, then we're behind schedule in making first contact, and the news we're not alone in the universe could well come in 2020," Vakoch said.
And there are expectations for microbial life, similar to Earth's bacteria, to be even more widely spread throughout space than intelligent life.
But bacteria can't send us radio signals. "We need to develop new technologies to discover them at a distance," Vakoch said. "As the next generation of space telescopes is launched, we will increase our chances of detecting signs of life through changes to the atmospheres of planets that orbit other stars, giving us millions of targets in our search for even simple life in the cosmos."
By the end of 2020, we'll be within a few months of the much-awaited launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Vakoch said, which will be able to study the atmospheres of exoplanets for potential signs of life. But it could take much longer, until after the launch of the European Space Agency's Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, or ARIEL, in 2028, before we have "definitive proof" of extraterrestrial microbes through telltale alterations in the atmospheres of exoplanets, Vakoch said.

Living with uncertainty
There are a number of spacecraft in the proposal stage that could conceivably detect extraterrestrial life within our solar system, "but don't hold your breath for discovery by 2020," Vakoch said. "But if we do someday find even microbial life elsewhere in our solar system that has an independent origin from terrestrial life, then we would know that the entire universe is chock-full of life."
Humans cannot control whether or not there is life elsewhere in the universe, of course.
"Either it's there or it's not," Vakoch said. "We may not be able to decide whether we'll find it in 2020, but we have a tremendous capacity to decide whether we will find it eventually, if it's out there to be discovered."
"To be human is to live with uncertainty," Vakoch concluded. "If we demand guarantees before we begin searching, then we are guaranteed to find nothing. But if we are willing to commit to the search in the coming year and long afterwards, even without knowing we will succeed, then we are sure to discover that there is at least one civilization in the universe that has the passion and the determination to understand its place in the cosmos — and that civilization is us."

At the edge of our solar system, a fierce battle rages between solar wind and interstellar rays. NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft has now passed through the frontlines.
Enclosed in a "bubble" of solar wind called the heliosphere, our solar system is relatively safe from the ravages of cosmic rays flying through interstellar space.
The flood of hot, electric particles constantly gushing out of the sun bathes the entire solar system in radiation, frying the occasional satellite and making life impossible on any planet not shielded by an atmosphere. In both a literal and figurative sense, the solar wind blows — but, as new observations from the edge of our solar system suggest, it also protects everything it touches from the even more damaging forces of interstellar space.
As the solar wind flows outward for billions of miles in every direction, it creates a bubble of energy that surrounds our entire solar system. At the edge of this bubble, where the solar wind finally collides with powerful cosmic rays beaming through interstellar space, there is a hot, thick wall of plasma called the heliopause. This cosmic border sits about 120 times farther from the sun than Earth does, where it helps deflect and dilute the powerful radiation released by distant stars and celestial explosions.
Now, in a series of studies published Nov. 4 in the journal Nature Astronomy, astronomers directly analyzed this cosmic frontier for the first time using data collected by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, which passed through the heliopause and into interstellar space a year ago.
While Voyager 2 was able to cruise seamlessly through the heliopause in about a day, researchers found that the plasma barrier was significantly hotter and thicker than previous studies estimated, effectively forming a physical shield between our solar system and interstellar space. According to study co-author Edward Stone, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology who has worked on the Voyager program since it launched in 1977, this shield stops about 70% of cosmic radiation from breaking into our solar system.
"The heliopause is the contact surface where two winds [collide] — the wind from the sun and the wind from space, which comes from supernova that exploded millions of years ago," Stone said in a news conference about the new Voyager studies. "Only about 30% of what's outside of the bubble can get in."

Interstellar robots phone home
In November 2018, NASA's Voyager 2 (V2) satellite passed through the heliopause, becoming only the second man-made object in history to leave our solar system. (The satellite's twin, Voyager 1, became the first in August 2012 — however, Voyager 1 was unable to analyze the border properly due to a sensor malfunction.)
According to radiation data collected by V2 on its interstellar journey, temperatures in the heliopause reached up to 89,000 degrees Fahrenheit (31,000 degrees Celsius) — roughly double the temperature that previous astronomical models predicted, suggesting a far more violent clash between the solar wind and cosmic rays than scientists ever predicted.
While the heliopause's hot, thick wall of plasma protects our solar system from most of the harmful rays darting through space, the researchers also found that the boundaries of the heliopause are not quite as uniform as anticipated. The edge of heliopause is not a perfect "bubble" after all, but contains porous holes that allow interstellar radiation to leak in at certain points.
Voyager 2 data detected two such holes on our side of the heliopause, where radiation levels spiked much higher than normal background levels before dropping back down again. Eventually, when the levels of cosmic radiation skyrocketed and stayed that way, it was clear the Voyager 2 had entered a new region of space, beyond our sun's domain.
The sheath of hot, charged wind protecting our solar system might not be perfect (and it still might not be our friend) but, as Voyager 2 confirmed, it is part of what separates our cozy cosmic home from the ferocious wilderness of space. For that, perhaps, we should be thankful.
Apollo 10’s “Snoopy” Lunar Lander May Have Been Found in Space
Apollo 10’s “Snoopy” Lunar Lander May Have Been Found in Space
Apollo 11 was the first mission to land people on the lunar surface. But Apollo relied on a lot of predecessor missions to lay the groundwork for the successful mission to the Moon. One of them was Apollo 10, the fourth crewed mission in the Apollo program.
Apollo 10 was an almost complete mission that including everything that Apollo 11 had, except for an actual landing on the Moon. It was a dress rehearsal, and was the second Apollo mission to orbit the Moon. It even had an Apollo Lunar Module that was flown to within 15 km of the lunar surface. But that module never landed, and eventually, after it rendezvoused with the command module and the crew disembarked, it was sent into orbit around the Sun.
And up until now, nobody knew where it was.
The Lunar Lander from Apollo 10 had a nickname. It was called “Snoopy” after the dog in the Peanuts comic strip, by Charles Schulz. NASA thought that giving the lander and the command module names from the popular comic strip would help kids be interested in the mission. (The command module was called “Charlie Brown.”) Snoopy was sent off to orbit the Sun without another thought, and nobody thought to keep track of it.
The Apollo 10 command module was named “Charlie Brown.” This image shows Charlie Brown, as seen from the Snoopy lunar lander. Image Credit: NASA.
Then in 2011, a group of amateur astronomers in the UK began looking for Snoopy. At the time, Universe Today covered the effort by amateur astronomer Nick Howes to search for Snoopy. He had some success under his belt already: he had organized an effort involving schools to find asteroids and comets with the Faulkes Telescope Project.
At that time, Howes and his team had an enormous area of space to search through, since orbital data from Apollo 10 was scarce. In 2011, Howes told Universe Today, “We’re expecting a search arc anywhere up to 135 million kilometres in size which is a huge amount of space to look at.”
Now, 8 years later, Howes thinks they’ve found Snoopy at long last.

A report on Sky News says that the team is almost certain they’ve found it. Or 98% certain, anyway. And if they have found it, they’ve beaten the 235 million to one odds of doing so. Very impressive effort.
In an interview with Newsweek, Howes said, “We are relatively confident The heliocentric orbit looks good, the object is artificial, and the size is right.” Howes and his team aren’t certain yet, though. That will require more detailed observations, but Snoopy is too far away for that right now.
Howes stressed that some agency will have to get a better look at it before they can confirm that the object is Snoopy.
Nick Howes@NickAstronomer
Emphasis is "may" have been found . Until we get close up radar data ..then nobody will know for sure ..but it's promising
He also mused that someone like Elon Musk may have the wherewithal to retrieve it, at some point. You never know, but if Elon Musk followed every well-meaning suggestion, his calendar would be awfully full.
It remains to be seen if Snoopy has been found. If it has, then it’s a very intriguing development. And that’s not just because there’s a small chance of recovering it in the future. It’s because of history.

With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing coming up, it’s a good chance to look beyond that successful, historic mission, and to recognize all the effort that preceded it. Indeed, the 50th anniversary of Apollo 10 just came and went on May 22nd, when in 1969 Snoopy made its closest approach to the lunar surface. Imagine how crew members Eugene Cernan and Thomas Stafford felt coming so close to the Moon but not landing. (Cernan thought that NASA purposefully didn’t give them enough fuel, in case they were tempted.)
In the end, Howes is realistic about the likelihood of recovering Snoopy. At best, that would be a frivolous use of funds, though private citizens like Musk are free to spend their money as they see fit.
Nick Howes@NickAstronomer
Anyway ..given the problems our world currently faces .. spending millions to go out and image a lunar module from 1969 may seem very frivolous .. and the scientific value as I said in my talk.. would be minimal
FORMER CIA AGENT: ALIENS ABDUCTED ABOUT ONE MILLION PEOPLE
FORMER CIA AGENT: ALIENS ABDUCTED ABOUT ONE MILLION PEOPLE
Last month, alien hunter Derrel Sims shared some interesting information about his activities with UAMN TV’s YouTube channel subscribers.
A former CIA employee is not just a ufologist, but a person who is investigating alien abductions. The man warns that extraterrestrials are not friends to us at all, they are evil ruthless creatures.
If a person does not experience negative emotions after the abduction, then he succumbed to the influence of a special program of aliens. As a rule, such personalities begin to tell in a positive way various not quite good things that were inspired by aliens.
For example, according to Sims, often abducted people talk about the “friendly mood” of the “green men”, although they carried out certain surgical operations on them.
For those who have not succumbed to suggestion, humanoids simply erase their memory. A former CIA employee has personally received more than two thousand cases of abduction. But the man is sure that there are actually about a million of them.
According to Derrell, one woman had a scar from the chest to the umbilical cord, but she still does not remember anything about it. And there are many such cases when people woke up with incomprehensible scars.
In total there are 7 types of aliens. Sims personally dealt with grays and reptiles, which are very similar to people. Some species were created on Earth based on human DNA, says Derrel Sims.

State Troopers Alien Craft Close Encounters In Indiana
State Troopers Alien Craft Close Encounters In Indiana
At around 7:30 pm on 4th February, Hollace Chastain had just finished his state trooper patrol duties and was checking his mailbox on his way home in Norman. As he did so, however, he noticed an elliptical-shaped bright light in the sky seemingly hovering overhead.
He watched the light for several moments and after being satisfied that it was indeed something unusual, he would radio a report to another trooper on patrol, James Blevins. As he did so, the object suddenly began to move, changing colors from “white to orange to greenish-blue” before finally returning to white as it settled back into a hovering position. Even more bizarre, although the witnesses believed the object to be solid, they also witnessed it seemingly changing its shape. In total, it remained visible for around half an hour before disappearing from their sight.
From his position, around 10 miles from Chastain’s location, Blevins would describe the object as “much too big to be a star”, even if it had of remained stationary. When it did move it appeared to “flicker and wobble”. This might be suggestive of some kind of rotation taking place.
Although the object disappeared from the view of the two state troopers, beginning in the early hours of the following morning, only several hours later in real time, several other sightings would unfold within hours of each other.
Several Sightings Within Hours Across Indiana
As they were returning home from Huntingburg where they had performed earlier, several members of a band would witness a strange object just before 2 am, around 10 miles outside of Oakland City. They would describe the object as “pale green with a bluish tinge”. The brightness of the object varied as they continued to watch it.
However, more remarkable, and very similar to the claims of the two state troopers only hours previously, was that it appeared to change shape. At first, it appeared like a boomerang before seeming to morph into a teardrop shape. As the members of the band watched the incident, who would incidentally all request anonymity, another vehicle passed theirs. It appeared these unidentified people also witnessed the bizarre encounter.
Around 75 miles away and 45 minutes later at 2:30 am in Crothersville, state police officer, Richard Barker witnessed and followed a “huge ball of greenish-blue and white lights” that appeared to have a flat, rotating underside. He would follow the bizarre object for around 10 miles, closing to “within (about) a mile of it” before it “took off fast”. He would state:
It wasn’t like any airplane I’ve ever seen. I know it wasn’t a plane!
Just under four hours later at around 6 am, an anonymous woman would report a very similar object over Bedford. She watched the object for around 30 minutes, recalling that it was “oval-shaped, sort of like a cigar”. Furthermore, the “top was shiny” while there was a “bright light on the bottom”. She got the impression from how the light appeared to move that the object was “looking for someplace to land”.
The object came closer to her home and eventually hovered overhead for several minutes before taking off. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

For decades, scientists have speculated about the origin of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from celestial regions that host black holes and neutron stars—the most mysterious objects in the universe.
Astrophysicists believe that this high-energy radiation—which makes neutron stars and black holes shine bright—is generated by electrons that move at nearly the speed of light, but the process that accelerates these particles has remained a mystery.
Now, researchers at Columbia University have presented a new explanation for the physics underlying the acceleration of these energetic particles.
In a study published in the December issue of The Astrophysical Journal, astrophysicists Luca Comisso and Lorenzo Sironi employed massive super-computer simulations to calculate the mechanisms that accelerate these particles. They concluded that their energization is a result of the interaction between chaotic motion and reconnection of super-strong magnetic fields.
"Turbulence and magnetic reconnection—a process in which magnetic field lines tear and rapidly reconnect—conspire together to accelerate particles, boosting them to velocities that approach the speed of light," said Luca Comisso, a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia and first author on the study.
"The region that hosts black holes and neutron stars is permeated by an extremely hot gas of charged particles, and the magnetic field lines dragged by the chaotic motions of the gas, drive vigorous magnetic reconnection," he added. "It is thanks to the electric field induced by reconnection and turbulence that particles are accelerated to the most extreme energies, much higher than in the most powerful accelerators on Earth, like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN."
When studying turbulent gas, scientists cannot predict chaotic motion precisely. Dealing with the mathematics of turbulence is difficult, and it constitutes one of the seven "Millennium Prize" mathematical problems. To tackle this challenge from an astrophysical point of view, Comisso and Sironi designed extensive super-computer simulations —among the world's largest ever done in this research area—to solve the equations that describe the turbulence in a gas of charged particles.
The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center of the Crab nebula is the dynamo powering the nebula's eerie interior bluish glow. The blue light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around magnetic field lines from the neutron star.

Hester (Arizona State University)
"We used the most precise technique—the particle-in-cell method—for calculating the trajectories of hundreds of billions of charged particles that self-consistently dictate the electromagnetic fields. And it is this electromagnetic field that tells them how to move," said Sironi, assistant professor of astronomy at Columbia and the study's principal investigator.
Sironi said that the crucial point of the study was to identify role magnetic reconnection plays within the turbulent environment. The simulations showed that reconnection is the key mechanism that selects the particles that will be subsequently accelerated by the turbulent magnetic fields up to the highest energies.
The simulations also revealed that particles gained most of their energy by bouncing randomly at an extremely high speed off the turbulence fluctuations. When the magnetic field is strong, this acceleration mechanism is very rapid. But the strong fields also force the particles to travel in a curved path, and by doing so, they emit electromagnetic radiation.
"This is indeed the radiation emitted around black holes and neutron stars that make them shine, a phenomenon we can observe on Earth," Sironi said.
The ultimate goal, the researchers said, is to get to know what is really going on in the extreme environment surrounding black holes and neutron stars, which could shed additional light on fundamental physics and improve our understanding of how our Universe works.
They plan to connect their work even more firmly with observations, by comparing their predictions with the electromagnetic spectrum emitted from the Crab Nebula, the most intensely studied bright remnant of a supernova (a star that violently exploded in the year 1054). This will be a stringent test for their theoretical explanation.
"We figured out an important connection between turbulence and magnetic reconnection for accelerating particles, but there is still so much work to be done," Comisso said. "Advances in this field of research are rarely the contribution of a handful of scientists, but they are the result of a large collaborative effort."
Other researchers, such as the Plasma Astrophysics group at the University of Colorado Boulder, are making important contributions in this direction, Comisso said.
Multiple Russia UFO sightings were actually a military ICBM test launch

Skywatchers in Russia have been reporting sights of a bizarre ‘shuttlecock-shaped’ UFO flashing through the night.
Initially, it was feared the object – passing over the Urals and Volga regions – was a meteorite.
Social media across several time zones in Russia and also Kazakhstan was buzzing with awe-inspiring images of the mysterious object as it streaked overhead in the early evening.
Later it became clear that the UFO was not aliens or a lump of space rock but a test launch of a Topol-M intercontinental ballistic rocket by Vladimir Putin’s strategic missile forces.
Footage showed the launch from the Kapustin Yar firing range in Astrakhan region, claimed the Russian defence ministry. It hit a target at the Sary Shagan anti-ballistic missile site in Kazakhstan in a ‘successful’ test, according to officials.

The timings of the missile test matched the sightings of the unusual object in the sky.
One posting in Saratov said: ‘Some kind of UFO. Did anybody else see it too? Something really unusual, what was it? Then it flashed…and soon disappeared’.
Sofya Salova, from Ufa, said: ‘We went for a walk with the children and saw a UFO over the city. It was unknown and surprising. At first it was just a bright spot, then it flashed to the right like a large torch, made a light ‘fart’ – sorry I can’t find a better word – and just vanished.’
In Chelyabinsk – hit by a major meteorite in 2013 – residents described the object as a ‘flying jellyfish’.

The Topol-M is a strategic intercontinental ballistic missile system developed at the end of the Soviet era. It is capable of carrying an 800-kilotonne warhead with the destructive power of 800,000 tonnes of TNT.
That’s 40 times the destructive power of the atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan in 1945.
The new discovery was achived by the Scan Pyramids project – a cross-disciplinary, multi-institution/nation effort that has employed various high-tech, non-destructive methods – such as infra-red thermography and muons radiography – to ‘scan’ the Great Pyramid for hidden cavities and/or structures.
Now, two years later, the Scan Pyramids team have released a new video (embedded below) announcing that the large cavity – which generated some controversy, with questions raised as to whether it truly was there, or was just some sort of scanning artifact – has been confirmed by more scans taken from new points within the pyramid, including the so-called ‘relieving chambers’ that sit above the ‘King’s Chamber’:
The big void was again observed from these new measuring points, confirming and refining the results published in 2017. The cavity is just above the Grand Gallery, between 10 and 15 metres above. Its minimum length, estimated initially at 30 metres, has been reevaluated to 40 metres minimum probably in one single section. However the mission scientists continue to debate about a slope.
The video also discusses other aspects of the project, including the other cavity found behind the entrance to the pyramid, as well as the lack of anomalies between the top of the relieving chambers and the peak of the pyramid:
A mysterious radar track yesterday prompted Washington D.C. to go on alert.
A search of the area turned up nothing.
A reporter for CBS News noticed a missile launcher during the alert.
A mysterious radar return prompted yesterday that an unauthorized aircraft was flying over the restricted airspace of Washington D.C. A search of the area reportedly turned up nothing, but one reporter located in the city did notice something: a surface to air missile system across the street from the White House.
At approximately 8:30am local time, a “track of interest” on a radar at the Capitol Police command center was detected over Washington D.C. The track was described as a “slow moving blob.”
Washington’s skies are heavily regulated, the result of the 9/11 attacks in order to protect the White House, Capitol building, and other government locations. North American Air Defense Command, or NORAD, sent a Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin helicopter to investigate. The helicopter, call sign “Blackjack,” did not notice anything unusual but note it nearly ran into a flock of birds at 1,300 feet.
The alert lasted 45 minutes. During that time a CBS News reporter, Sara Cook, noticed something unusual on a building across the street from the White House: a missile launcher.

The launcher is an Avenger air defense missile system. Avenger consists of eight Stinger missiles and a M3 .50 caliber machine gun, and was originally designed to protect U.S. Army forces from low-level air attack. Avenger is typically mounted on a Humvee, but the Washington system appears to be mounted on a pedestal on top of the building.
Stinger is a short range system with a relatively small explosive warhead, so it is ideally suited for shooting down hostile small aircraft, drones, and other threats in and around the White House. Stinger missiles are infrared-guided and have a range of approximately two miles.
The Avenger system could be the missile launcher first spotted in 2004, on top of the nearby New Executive Office Building. It appears to be in a position where it is only noticeable from certain locations on the ground. It is visible on Google Maps on the northwest corner of the building.
At around 8:30am on November 26th, what appeared to be a potential violation of the tightly controlled airspace ringing Washington D.C. occurred, sparking off a course of eventsthat drew national attention. The White House and the Capitol went into lockdown as a Coast Guard MH-65, callsign Blackjack, scrambled to intercept the possible intruder and F-16s were sent to runway alert at Andrews AFB, prepared to rocket into the sky if needed at a moment's notice. Confusion followed as to what exactly was detected and why. Now, according to officials with direct knowledge of the events, here is what actually occurred.
Before we begin, one must understand that the Washington D.C. Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) is a chunk of airspace that rings the Capital. From its center, the Special Flight Rules Area reaches out roughly 30 miles in any direction, with the Flight Restriction Zone being a bubble within the ADIZ with a radius of roughly half that distance. The ADIZ is supported by a large number of highly networked, but disparate sensors, including various radars, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and other passive sensors to closely surveil the skies in the area for potential threats. And yes, it is backed up by medium-range NASAMS surface-to-air missile systems scattered around the region, as well as Avenger short-range missile systems near key locales. Beyond that, MH-65 Dolphin helicopters at Reagan National Airport stand alert to intercept any slow-moving targets, while F-16Cs do the same at Andrews Air Force Base for faster-moving ones.
Fully armed and ready to go F-16s sit engines running at Andrews AFB. The LITENING targeting pod is used for long-range air-to-air visual identification of targets.
30 miles may sound like a lot, but it is anything but. A subsonic jet traveling at cruise speed can cross that distance in less than four minutes. A single-engine light plane can do it in less than fifteen minutes. If the threat, such as a drone, pops up deep inside the airspace already, these times get cut down to nothing.The missiles are there, in part, because it may be impossible to get an F-16 or MH-65 in the air fast enough to deal with a hostile actor. So, air defenders that are tasked with this incredibly challenging mission work in seconds and single miles when it comes to reaction and decision-making times.
This is a tough business with the highest stakes imaginable.
On top of this, the system has been upgraded in recent years in key areas to be able to detect small radar cross-section and slow-moving targets that are out of the detection capabilities of more traditional radar systems. Once again, all these sources are networked to improve target processing fidelity, reduce the chance for horrific mistakes, and to give operators and commanders the best information possible in the least amount of time.
Our sources tell us that although it is not uncommon for birds to be the cause of false alerts multiple times a month around this time a year, the issue that occurred on the 26th was a radar anomaly that was compounded by human error. One of the radars that feeds data into the integrated air defense system created what is called a "mirror track" of an innocuous and in-contact airplane whose transponder was squawking that it was under visual flight rules (VFR). Because it was a mirror track of just the transponder, there is no primary radar return where the mirror track was, the system pointed it out immediately and started automatically pointing electro-optical camera systems at it to validate the return and to identify what it actually was.
Apparently, the D.C. area's integrated air surveillance system is good enough that transponder tracks alone, where the radar doesn't also have a corresponding hard radar return, nearly never occur. But in this case, it was an anomaly happening within the radar system, not the result of lack of radar coverage or fidelity.
When the cameras pointed at the mirror track's location, they saw a real plane that was located roughly along the same azimuth as the mirror track. The issue is that since cameras cannot quantify range, it validated that something was there, but in reality, that plane was not at the range the radar showed the mirror track to be, it was much farther away. In other words, if a plane was actually where the mirror track should have been, the cameras would have seen two airplanes, not just one. As a result of this confusion, more cameras started being pointed at the target automatically.
At this time, the mirror track faded away, so the cameras had no automated radar data left to point to. Human operators took over and they started manually scanning the area for something that wasn't there anymore. There have been reports of ‘blobs’ being seen by the air defense system operators during this instance. Our sources made it clear that this is anything but uncommon as looking into the sky with long focal length cameras results in blobs, especially when scattered clouds are present. There is simply nothing substantial or defining to look at.

The entire detection period of the mirror track only lasted a number of seconds before the radar picture returned to normal. Those directly operating the radar system knew close to immediately it was just a glitch/anomaly, but by this time, other operators were looking everywhere on camera for anything they can find, and the incident was escalating up the command and control ladder. As such, the powers that be didn't want to discount the situation too quickly. Remember, there is literally no margin for error when it comes to countering a real threat and the nature of potential threats Washington D.C. air defenders could face has evolved dramatically recently. What could look like a flock of birds could end up being something far more nefarious in the years to come.
So, once the wheels were in motion, it was really too late to stop them. This included downstream impacts like locking down high-risk targets around the Mall. But that isn't such a bad thing as this was about making absolutely sure nothing was in the airspace that was a threat, not about having a quick trigger finger. The exact opposite actually.
It's also worth noting that the sensors and support systems that enable the air defense mission around DC are very capable, and continue to get upgraded, but like any complex system of system, some parts remain a bit behind in terms of cutting-edge technology. The system will only get better with time, and in the end, people have to interpret the information and make the best calls they can. Considering the firepower at their disposal within a dense urban area, they have done a good job over the years at making sure nobody gets hurt because of inevitable imperfections in mechanical systems and the software they run on.
This should be the final takeaway, no matter how advanced a mechanical system or the larger architecture it is embedded with may be, it has the potential to be imperfect. Humans build these systems and write the code for their software and we are fallible. Above all else, aerial surveillance and air defense is far from a perfect science as we have pointed out time and time again. The average person's perception of it being significantly otherwise is so far outside the realm of reality that it is quite frustrating at times. In the end, it comes down to the training and expertise of those who operate these systems and who would be forced to make very tough calls in very short amounts of time as a result of the data they provide.
So, while the mechanical system failed momentarily in a minor way, the overall human system prevailed where it mattered most.
