Trump: ‘Wat ik weet over aliens en Roswell? Het is heel interessant’
Donald Trump jr. vroeg zijn vader in een interview of hij ons voor het einde van zijn presidentschap laat weten of er aliens zijn. “Ik wil weten wat er gaande is,” zei hij. “Ga je Roswell ooit een keer open gooien en ons vertellen wat daar gebeurt?”
De Amerikaanse president zei dat hij ‘niet gaat vertellen wat hij erover weet’. Hij wilde wel kwijt dat hij ‘interessante’ dingen over Roswell heeft gehoord, de plaats waar lang geleden een UFO zou zijn neergekomen. “Het is heel interessant.”
Nadenken
In 1947 ontdekte een boer onbekende wrakstukken op zijn terrein net buiten Roswell in New Mexico. De luchtmacht claimde dat het een gecrashte weerballon was, maar volgens sceptici ging het om een buitenaards schip.
Trump jr. vroeg de president of hij de ‘interessante’ informatie op een dag openbaar zal maken. “Daar moet ik over nadenken,” reageerde hij.
Bekijk het interview hieronder (rond 18:40 komt de vraag over aliens):
Het is bijna een soort traditie om de Amerikaanse president te bevragen over aliens. In 2015 vroeg Jimmy Kimmel president Barack Obama of hij in het Witte Huis op zoek is gegaan naar documenten over buitenaards leven.
Obama antwoordde toen: “De aliens laten dat niet toe. Dan komen al hun geheimen naar buiten. Ze houden ons stevig onder de duim.” De talkshowhost zei vervolgens dat president Clinton zich erin had verdiept en tot de ontdekking was gekomen dat de overheid geen geheime informatie over aliens heeft. “Wij krijgen de opdracht dat te zeggen,” grijnsde Obama.
Ezekiel's Wheel: Imprisoned Angels Trapped in Stars Examined
Ezekiel's Wheel: Imprisoned Angels Trapped in Stars Examined
There is scripture regarding the angels that are chained in darkness referring to hell. Jesus stood in front of Mount Hermon and said the Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail Against It “referring to the church”. Also a 3rd of the stars were cast down in Revelation after Michael and his angels defeated the dragon and his angels. Looking at Biblical cosmology and the 3 heavens. If the 3rd of the stars that were cast down are angels, were they cast into the first heaven within the firmament?
Many believe that all the angels are locked up until judgement. I feel that only the worst were chained in darkness. The others are able to communicate with us. They are sharing all of their technology. When our “world leaders” go to Antarctica, are they really going to the ice wall close to the firmament so they can communicate with fallen? In Hebrew cosmology, the deepest part of the ocean is part of the waters above the firmament. In the last days, will they be released from above as well as below along with the antichrist for a short time?
Many feel good and bad angels walk among us and look just like us. I myself have experienced events that could only be explained as encounters with angels. Have you had experiences where you feel angels were intervening in your life? Do you believe in angels?
Do you think technology has advanced enough again that they can communicate straight through devices? I just thought this would be a good discussion to have. Please share your respectful thoughts . No one has all the answers. Time is short! Yeshua Jesus Saves! Follow Him!

US President Donald Trump said he has heard “interesting” things about Roswell, the crash site of an alleged UFO.
Mr Trump made the comments in an interview with his son, who asked if the White House incumbent could “let us know what’s really going on”.
“I won’t talk to you about what I know about it, but it’s very interesting,” he replied.
Mr Trump in the past has spoken sceptically about the possibility that there is something out there.
The Father’s Day-themed interview was hosted by the president’s reelection campaign.
In 1947, a rancher discovered unidentifiable debris in his sheep pasture outside Roswell in New Mexico.
Air Force officials said it was a crashed weather balloon, but sceptics questioned whether it was in fact at extraterrestrial flying saucer.
Decades later the US military acknowledged the debris was related to a top-secret atomic project and the UFO theory has flourished.

The president was also asked about Netflix hit Tiger King
(Netflix/PA)
After his father offered that he heard some “interesting” things about Roswell, Mr Trump Jr asked the president might declassify that information someday.
“Well, I’ll have to think about that one,” the president responded.
Mr Trump also said that he had watched “a couple” of episodes of Netflix show Tiger King.
Joseph Maldonado-Passage, known as Joe Exotic, the star of the popular docu-series, is serving a 22-year prison sentence after he was convicted for hiring a hit man to murder a rival.
Mr Trump said during a press briefing in April that he was unfamiliar with Tiger King, after his son jokingly said on a radio show that he was lobbying the president for a pardon for Exotic.
The president on Thursday did not say when he was considering a pardon but sounded intrigued by the star of the show.
“That’s a whole strange deal going on,” Mr Trump said.
“I’ll tell you that’s a strange guy and a lot of strange people surrounding him.”
President Trump today had an interview and talked about having knowledge about the Roswell UFO crash from 1947. The president has exclusive access to such documents and people that he could learn the truth about aliens, but would he be courageous enough to release that info he learns to the public? I believe he would be. He has little fear of others and he knows the public could handle the truth. If he is pushed a little bit more by news journalists...I do believe he would release the information to the public. Its response could result in a life changing view of our world and the universe. But the real challenge is not Trump, but to get a journalist brave enough to ask about it again and again. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan

Plane Hovers In Spot For Almost 20 Seconds! Missing Time Alien Abduction! UFO Sighting News.
Plane Hovers In Spot For Almost 20 Seconds! Missing Time Alien Abduction! UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 14, 2020 Location of sighting: USA Watch carefully and you will witness one of the rarest events in alien research...the alien abduction and phenomenon of missing time. Such moments occurs when aliens chose to abduct people when they are within a vehicle or structure and they freeze everything in that vicinity. That means if its a plane...the plane freezes and so do all the people within it, including all the plane instruments. Time is frozen inside this bubble they created. But the aliens themselves can walk around, examine, record and take samples of the people in this area. For the aliens however...not only are they immune to the stopped time, they use a reverse for themselves....which speeds up time for them only. So we see the plane sitting for about 10-20 seconds in the same location...however 15-30 minutes could have passed for the aliens. When you control time as some species do...anything becomes possible. Scott C. Waring
Two UFOs Flying Low Over Peru...Possibly Making New Nazca Lines! Video, UFO Sighting News.
Two UFOs Flying Low Over Peru...Possibly Making New Nazca Lines! Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Feb 2020
Location of discovery: Peru
Google coordinates: 13°55'26.58"S 76°15'40.95"W
This discovery was made in February but never reported by anyone but Sandra. Since then Google has deleted it. I checked the location and it no longer exists. The UFOs...are gone. Sounds like Google is part of the agenda to hide the existence of aliens. SCW
Here is a awesome discovery found by Sandra Elena Andrade of Youtube. She discovered two UFOs moving low over Peru. Each UFO is 8-9 meters long, thats almost 30 feet across! And both are flying only low about 10-20 meters from the ground. The UFOs are flying low because they came from an underground base just moments before the satellite took this Google map photo. The base they came from will be about 5-6 km below the surface area. There are many reports of Nazca lines, drawings in the desert of Peru said to be made by ancient tribes to honor the gods...this may not be true. The Nazca lines may have been made by the aliens themselves to remember locations, or to honor someone or something important in their society.
White Orb Seen Across Japan Carrying Cross Shocks Japanese! Video, UFO Sighting News.
White Orb Seen Across Japan Carrying Cross Shocks Japanese! Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 17, 2020 Location of sighting: Japan This mysterious white orb has been recorded over 10 times and reported on various social media sites. Some recorded it from airplanes passing over Japan, others from the ground, but each time it excites the onlookers. The object in question is round and appears to be a white weather balloon carrying some kind of metal cross instruments on a short string. Yes it could be an alien craft of course. Many UFOs have been reported daily that are white orbs, but the string and metal cross seem off a bit. The white cross almost looks like the body of a drone stripped down to fly the ballon to different locations. Or to hold a camera on it. It also could be a primitive spy balloon sent from China or North Korea to record over Japan...an enemy to them. What ever it is, the Japanese are confident its a UFO and I know its possible because such shapes of UFOs are seen daily. Until this is identified by an owner, we have to say its an Unidentified Flying Object or UFO. Scott C. Waring
Astonishing New Hubble Images Reveal Stars Gone Haywire
Astonishing New Hubble Images Reveal Stars Gone Haywire
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope demonstrates its full range of imaging capabilities with two new images of planetary nebulae.
As nuclear fusion engines, most stars live placid lives for hundreds of millions to billions of years. But near the end of their lives they can turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas.
Now, astronomers have used Hubble to dissect such crazy fireworks happening in these two planetary nebulae.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope depicts NGC 7027, or the “Jewel Bug” nebula.
The object had been slowly puffing away its mass in quiet, spherically symmetric or perhaps spiral patterns for centuries — until relatively recently when it produced a new cloverleaf pattern.
New observations of the object have found unprecedented levels of complexity and rapid changes in the jets and gas bubbles blasting off of the star at the centre of the nebula.
This video zooms into the planetary nebula NGC 6302, commonly known as the Butterfly Nebula.
NGC 6302 lies within our Milky Way galaxy, roughly 3800 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius. The glowing gas was once the star's outer layers, but has been expelled over about 2200 years. The butterfly shape stretches for more than two light-years, which is about half the distance from the Sun to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri.
The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged these objects before, but not for many years and never before with the Wide Field Camera 3 instrument across its full wavelength range - making observations in near-ultraviolet to near-infrared light. "These new multi-wavelength Hubble observations provide the most comprehensive view to date of both of these spectacular nebulae, reports phys.org.
Several days ago, NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO-A H2 spacecraft, captured images of a huge object which flies in an arc through space near the sun.
It is not the first time unidentified flying object have been spotted passing through an area near the sun and although NASA is aware of these UFOs playing around the sun, they don't want talk about it.
The video below shows the UFO in normal view and in close-up when it travels with an incredible speed through space.
SCIENTISTS GROW PETRI DISH MINI-BRAINS WITH NEANDERTHAL DNA
SCIENTISTS GROW PETRI DISH MINI-BRAINS WITH NEANDERTHAL DNA

VICTOR TANGERMANN__FILED UNDER: HARD SCIENCE
Neanderthal Mini-Brains
To study how early humans related to the ancient human subspecies known as Neanderthals, CNN reports, a team of European scientists grew mini-brains from human stem cells that contain Neanderthal DNA and proteins.
“We were curious how much of the Neanderthal genome could be explored if you just have access to stem cells from the right people,” Grayson Camp, lead author of a new study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports today and genomics PhD at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology in Switzerland, told CNN.
DNA Similarities
The team analyzed genomes from individuals with Northern European descent and compared them to a reference Neanderthal genome created in 2010 by geneticist Svante Pääbo “to figure out which parts were likely derived from Neanderthals and which parts were not,” according to Camp.
“Per individual, there’s something like between 1 percent and 4 percent of the genome likely derived from Neanderthals,” he added.
Brain Blobs
From there, the team grew three-dimensional blobs of brain tissue inside a petri dish. These tiny brains, also called organoids, are often used to test the effects of drugs.
They are specifically not “lab-grown Neanderthal brains,” as Camp assured CNN. “These are human cells, they’re not Neanderthal cells but human cells that have Neanderthal DNA naturally inside them,” Camp said.
The research also could give us insight into the early diet of Neanderthals, he said, and how their traits shaped human ones over thousands of years.
Debris from a comet may have leveled an ancient village in Syria during a spate of several such explosions occurring around the world, according to new research.
The village of Abu Hureyra was a mound settlement in northern Syria around 13,000 years ago. The site was quickly excavated in 1972 and 1973, before the Euphrates River was dammed, flooding the site beneath Lake Assad. But the hurried excavations exposed charcoal-rich surfaces containing glass spheres formed from melting soil, melted iron- and sulfur-rich samples, and nanodiamonds. Such materials are all indicators of extremely high temperatures like those produced by a chunk of rock exploding in the air.
A team led by Andrew Moore, an archeologist at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York who led the emergency excavations of the site in the '70s, recently reexamined some of the excavated material in greater detail. The scientists then developed experimental methods to replicate the materials they discovered at the village.
"These provided new insights into how the meltglass was formed and how plant and other materials became incorporated in it," Moore told Space.com by email.
Melting the minerals found in the soil requires temperatures over 3,630 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), "hot enough to cause the quartz grains to boil," Moore said. That suggests something cataclysmic.
"It is impossible to explain these melted minerals on meltglass by any natural process other than a cosmic impact event," Moore said.
A deadly explosion
The first settlers of Abu Hureyra were hunter-gatherers who lived off the land. A terrible drought drove the people to begin cultivating grains that they had previously collected from the wild, turning them into the first known farmers, previous research has revealed.
Then, about 13,000 years ago, something very bad seems to have occurred, leaving a layer of carbon suggesting dramatic fires. But for much of the last decade, scientists inspecting the remnants of the village have debated what happened, unable to decide whether the carbon formed during an airburst or during more mundane fires among the thatched huts.
So Moore decided to reexamine the glass in more detail. His analysis of the glass composition matched a 2012 finding claiming an airburst had destroyed Abu Hureyra, suggesting that the villagers' bucolic lifestyle ended suddenly when one or more fragments from a passing comet exploded in the air nearby.
"People who were in or near the village of Abu Hureyra at the time the airburst exploded would have seen an immense flash in the sky, equivalent to a nuclear explosion," Moore said. "A few seconds later, they would have been incinerated by the blast emanating from the airburst. The heat wave destroyed the village and everything in it, leaving a layer of burned material across the surface."
Observers several tens of kilometers from the site would have seen the flash, heard the explosion, and felt the heatwave, but likely survived the detonation.
Moore and his colleagues heated fragments of the glass in a laboratory furnace until they had fully melted, which occurred at 2,400 F (1,300 C), establishing a lower limit for the temperature the spheroids had originally been exposed to. But it took higher temperatures for the quartz and other particles on the exterior to melt.
The researchers also compared the Abu Hureyra material with glass melted at other prehistoric impact sites on Earth and found many similarities. The wealth of meltglass dating to roughly the same timeframe suggests to researchers that thousands of pieces of debris shed from a comet slammed into Earth's atmosphere 12,800 years ago, impacting more than 40 sites across North America and Europe.
The new findings by Moore's team match a 2007 hypothesis that Earth experienced several multi-continental airbursts. Since an individual comet or asteroid large enough to cause such widespread destruction is unlikely, the researchers suspect the disparate impacts were possibly caused by cometary debris.
"The largest cometary debris clusters are proposed to be capable of causing thousands of airbursts within a span of minutes across one entire hemisphere of Earth," the authors wrote. "An encounter with such a million-km-wide debris cluster would be thousands of times more probable than a collision with a 100-km-wide comet or a 10-km-wide asteroid."
Using a groundbreaking new model, scientists have calculated that there may be up to six billion Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy, reviving hopes that colonization among the stars may still, one day, be viable.
So far, humanity has confirmed the existence of 4,164 exoplanets, most of which are gas or ice giants similar to Jupiter or Neptune. At present, there are an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, roughly seven percent of which are similar in composition and size to our sun. These are known as G-type main-sequence stars.
Michelle Kunimoto from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada, an expert in exoplanets, applied a technique known as forward modelling to a database of 200,000 stars studied by the Kepler planet-hunter between 2009 and 2018, to see how many potential new Earths could be out there orbiting around these stars.
“My calculations place an upper limit of 0.18 Earth-like planets per G-type star,” Kunimoto, who recently discovered an additional 17 exoplanets in Kepler space telescope data, said. Previous estimates noted a frequency of between 0.2 and one potentially habitable planets per sun-like star.
“Estimating how common different kinds of planets are around different stars, can provide important constraints on planet formation and evolution theories, and help optimise future missions dedicated to finding exoplanets.”
The distances involved in the Kepler data set make it harder to spot the smaller, rocky planets similar to Earth and Mars, because we detect faraway planets based on the impact they have on their stars. The smaller the planet, the smaller the impact on its star and thus, the harder they are to spot.
While frustrating, this indicates that there are likely far more exoplanets out there than we have yet discovered using current methods.
Kunimoto simulated the full population of exoplanets around the stars observed and studied by Kepler, and marked each as 'detected' or 'missed' based on how likely it was that the forward modelling technique was to have found them.
She then compared her findings with the actual catalogue to test the accuracy of the modelling technique and found that, given the degree of accuracy contained therein, the potential maximum of exoplanets in the Milky Way is somewhere in the region of six billion planets.
The real number will likely be much smaller, once their habitability and other factors are taken into account, but it’s a good starting point and one that inspires confidence in finding some likely candidates for colonization at some point in humanity's future.
Potentially habitable planets are defined as between .75 and 1.5 times the mass of the Earth, orbiting a G-type star at a distance of between 0.99 and 1.7 times the distance between the Earth and our sun, inhabiting the so-called Goldilocks zone where the planet could host liquid water and, therefore, life.

‘Final proof life existed on Mars' is claimed after discovery of ‘ALIEN KING’S skeleton'
‘Final proof life existed on Mars' is claimed after discovery of ‘ALIEN KING’S skeleton'
ALIEN chasers claim scientists may never look at Mars the same way again amid claims a humanoid skeleton has been found in NASA images of the Red Planet.
A video has been released on YouTube alleging to show the remains of a Martian.
Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, said: "This is enough evidence to rock the palaeontology world off its high horse.
"These skeletal remains of a living creature on Mars was found by Paranormal Crucible of Youtube.
"It could be an intelligent species, one of the creatures that controlled this planet. An extraordinary and unusual find that should change how we see Mars forever."
NASA
The 'bones' shown here are being hailed an historic discovery.
Paranormal Crucible released a promotional blurb with the video, stating: "One of subscribers alerted me to this artefact and, in my opinion, its an ancient Martian skeleton.
"I gently colorised the image to bring out the details we can see in the video.
"The relic has a large skull adorned with an ornate or decorative head piece, this could indicate that its the remains of a king, religious icon or perhaps a fallen warrior.
"This is undoubtedly the skeletal remains of an alien humanoid in my opinion.
"I have cross referenced the relics remains and compared them with bones found in humans, and the comparison is undeniable."
NASA
The Curiosity rover, who NASA says has just found evidence of water, not life, on Mars.
This is undoubtedly the skeletal remains of an alien humanoid in my opinion. I have cross referenced the relics remains and compared them with bones found in humans, and the comparison is undeniable.
Paranormal Crucible
Last week the channel claimed to have found evidence of a dinosaur or horse skull in different NASA images which had been beamed back to Earth by the Curiosity Rover, a 4WD droid currently exploring the Red Planet surface.
The blurb added: "This added with my previous video of a dinosaur skull found by the Curiosity Rover, confirms without doubt that Mars did have life on it."
NASA insists it has found no evidence of any life on Mars yet and just traces of surface water.
It believes that nothing more than microscopic lifeforms are likely to have begun before Mars was robbed of its atmosphere by the sun and lost all its former oceans.
NASA scientists and other sceptics say the alien chasers are wrong, and these so-called amazing discoveries are the results of pareidolia, when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in patterns or textures such as rock surfaces.
Paranormal Crucible has also been heavily criticised for using colourisation and other editing techniques to enhance the images to make them look more like what they say they have found.

Balloon-like UFO spotted in skies above northeastern Japan
Balloon-like UFO spotted in skies above northeastern Japan
An unidentified white balloon-like object was spotted by residents in northeastern Japan on Wednesday, with some people directing inquiries to police and other local authorities while others took to Twitter to voice their excitement.
An official from the Japan Meteorological Agency's Sendai office in Miyagi Prefecture confirmed it was not an item flown by the agency, saying, "We checked with the Sendai municipal government and the Self-Defense Forces, but they have no idea either."
According to the agency, calls about a mysterious floating object began arriving around 7 a.m.
It was observed in Sendai and Fukushima Prefecture and a cross-shaped item, described by an agency official as resembling some type of observational equipment, could be seen hanging from the sphere.
(Photo shows an unidentified white balloon-like object that was observed by residents in skies above northeastern Japan on June 17, 2020)
The Miyagi prefectural police also flew a helicopter to check on the object traveling at more than 2,000 meters above the ground but have yet to determine its origin and identity.
"We just have to keep our eyes on where it's going," a police official said. The police lost the exact location of the object in the evening after clouds blocked them from tracking it.
The transport ministry's office at Sendai airport said there had been no requests for flying an aerial vehicle as per aviation law.
"As it is not on any flight paths, it will not impact aircraft operations, but we will continue to keep an eye on it," an official at the office said.
On Twitter, one user asked "Could it be a UFO?" while another said, "It looks like a hot-air balloon."

Researchers from the American Museum of Natural History and Yale University analyzed the eggs of two different non-avian dinosaurs to find that they resemble those of turtles in terms of microstructure, composition, and mechanical properties.
Meaning that early dinosaurs likely laid soft-shelled eggs. Under pressure from predators or the environment, dinosaurs evolved hard-shelled eggs at least three independent times, the team adds.
Getting an egg up
“The assumption has always been that the ancestral dinosaur egg was hard-shelled,” said lead author Mark Norell, chair and Macaulay Curator in the Museum’s Division of Paleontology. “Over the last 20 years, we’ve found dinosaur eggs around the world. But for the most part, they only represent three groups — theropod dinosaurs, advanced hadrosaurs like the duck-bill dinosaurs, and advanced sauropods.”
“At the same time, we’ve found thousands of skeletal remains of ceratopsian dinosaurs, but almost none of their eggs. So why weren’t their eggs preserved? My guess — and what we ended up proving through this study — is that they were soft-shelled.”
Amniotes are a group of animals including birds, mammals, and reptiles, which reproduce by laying eggs with an inner membrane or “amnion”. This membrane helps keep the embryo from drying out. Some amniotes, the team explains, including many turtles, lizards, and snakes, lay soft-shelled eggs, whereas others (mostly birds) lay hard-shelled eggs. Their hardness comes from high levels of calcification in the shell.
Harder eggshells provide better protection from the environment and was a big development for amniotes, as it allowed for more eggs to survive until hatching in more varied environments.
Modern crocodilians and birds, the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs, lay hard-shelled eggs. The fact that soft-shelled eggs rarely fossilize also helped as it made it extremely difficult to study the transition from soft to hard eggshells. So, it was assumed that non-avian dinosaurs used this type of shell.
But this was not the case, a new study reports. The authors studied embryo-containing fossil eggs of Protoceratops (a sheep-sized herbivore) and Mussaurus (a long-necked, big herbivore dino).
The skeletons of six among the Protoceratops embryos have been preserved surrounded by a black-and-white, egg-shaped halo, according to the team. Two of them (potentially hatched) were largely free of this halo. A closer analysis showed that the shapes were created from chemically-altered residues of the membrane lining the inside of all modern archosaur eggs. The same was true for the Mussaurus embryos.
Comparing the minerals that made up these shells with those in the eggshells of modern species, the team determined that the Protoceratops and Mussaurus eggs were indeed non-biomineralized, meaning they were leathery-soft.
“It’s an exceptional claim, so we need exceptional data,” said study author and Yale graduate student Jasmina Wiemann. “We had to come up with a brand-new proxy to be sure that what we were seeing was how the eggs were in life, and not just a result of some strange fossilization effect.”
“We now have a new method that can be applied to all other sorts of questions, as well as unambiguous evidence that complements the morphological and histological case for soft-shelled eggs in these animals.”
Using chemical composition data and the mechanical properties of eggshells from 112 other extinct and living relatives, the team determined that calcified eggs evolved independently at least three times in dinosaurs, probably from a soft-shelled type.
Soft eggshells are more sensitive to water loss and offer little protection against mechanical stress, so Protoceratops and Mussaurus probably buried them in sand or soil and incubated them with heat from decomposing plant matter, as some reptiles do today.
The paper “The first dinosaur egg was soft” has been published in the journal Nature.

ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has detected glowing green oxygen in Mars’ atmosphere – the first time that this emission has been seen around a planet other than Earth.
On Earth, glowing oxygen is produced during polar auroras when energetic electrons from interplanetary space hit the upper atmosphere. This oxygen-driven emission of light gives polar auroras their beautiful and characteristic green hue.
The aurora, however, is just one way in which planetary atmospheres light up. The atmospheres of planets including Earth and Mars glow constantly during both day and night as sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules within the atmosphere. Day and night glow are caused by slightly different mechanisms: night glow occurs as broken-apart molecules recombine, whereas day glow arises when the Sun’s light directly excites atoms and molecules such as nitrogen and oxygen.
On Earth, green night glow is quite faint, and so is best seen by looking from an ‘edge on’ perspective – as portrayed in many spectacular images taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This faintness can be an issue when hunting for it around other planets, as their bright surfaces can drown it out.
Airglow occurs in Earth’s atmospheres as sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules within the atmosphere. In this image, taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2011, a green band of oxygen glow is visible over Earth’s curve. On the surface, portions of northern Africa are visible, with evening lights shining along the Nile river and its delta.

This green glow has now been detected for the first time at Mars by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), which has been orbiting Mars since October 2016.
“One of the brightest emissions seen on Earth stems from night glow. More specifically, from oxygen atoms emitting a particular wavelength of light that has never been seen around another planet,” says Jean-Claude Gérard of the Université de Liège, Belgium, and lead author of the new study published in Nature Astronomy.
“However, this emission has been predicted to exist at Mars for around 40 years – and, thanks to TGO, we’ve found it.”
Jean-Claude and colleagues were able to spot this emission using a special observing mode of the TGO. One of the orbiter’s advanced suite of instruments, known as NOMAD (Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery) and including the ultraviolet and visible spectrometer (UVIS), can observe in various configurations, one of which positions its instruments to point directly down at the martian surface – also referred to as the ‘nadir’ channel.

“Previous observations hadn’t captured any kind of green glow at Mars, so we decided to reorient the UVIS nadir channel to point at the ‘edge’ of Mars, similar to the perspective you see in images of Earth taken from the ISS,” adds co-author Ann Carine Vandaele of the Institut Royal d’Aéronomie Spatiale de Belgique, Belgium, and Principal Investigator of NOMAD.
Between 24 April and 1 December 2019, Jean-Claude, Ann Carine, and colleagues used NOMAD-UVIS to scan altitudes ranging from 20 to 400 kilometers from the martian surface twice per orbit. When they analyzed these datasets, they found the green oxygen emission in all of them.
“The emission was strongest at an altitude of around 80 kilometers and varied depending on the changing distance between Mars and the Sun,” adds Ann Carine.
Studying the glow of planetary atmospheres can provide a wealth of information about the composition and dynamics of an atmosphere, and reveal how energy is deposited by both the Sun’s light and the solar wind – the stream of charged particles emanating from our star.
To better understand this green glow at Mars, and compare it to what we see around our own planet, Jean-Claude and colleagues dug further into how it was formed.
“We modeled this emission and found that it’s mostly produced as carbon dioxide, or CO2, is broken up into its constituent parts: carbon monoxide and oxygen,” says Jean-Claude. “We saw the resulting oxygen atoms glowing in both visible and ultraviolet light.”
Simultaneously comparing these two kinds of emission showed that the visible emission was 16.5 times more intense than the ultraviolet.
“The observations at Mars agree with previous theoretical models but not with the actual glowing we’ve spotted around Earth, where the visible emission is far weaker,” adds Jean-Claude. “This suggests we have more to learn about how oxygen atoms behave, which is hugely important for our understanding of atomic and quantum physics.”

Different colours show the measurements at different altitudes in the martian atmosphere. Oxygen dayglow appears to be brightest at 80 km, reaching a second peak around 120 km, and dissipating above 150 km. This is the first time that this emission has been seen around a planet other than Earth.

This understanding is key to characterizing planetary atmospheres and related phenomena – such as auroras. By deciphering the structure and behavior of this green glowing layer of Mars’ atmosphere, scientists can gain insight into an altitude range that has remained largely unexplored, and monitor how it changes as the Sun’s activity varies and Mars travels along its orbit around our star.
“This is the first tim this important emission has ever been observed around another planet beyond Earth, and marks the first scientific publication based on observations from the UVIS channel of the NOMAD instrument on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter,” highlights Håkan Svedhem, ESA’s TGO Project Scientist.
“It demonstrates the remarkably high sensitivity and optical quality of the NOMAD instrument. This is especially true given that this study explored the dayside of Mars, which is much brighter than the nightside, thus making it even more difficult to spot this faint emission.”
Understanding the properties of Mars’ atmosphere is not only interesting scientifically, but is also key to operate the missions we send to the Red Planet. Atmospheric density, for example, directly affects the drag experienced by orbiting satellites and by the parachutes used to deliver probes to the martian surface.
“This type of remote-sensing observation, coupled with in situ measurements at higher altitudes, helps us to predict how the martian atmosphere will respond to seasonal changes and variations in solar activity,” adds Håkan. “Predicting changes in atmospheric density is especially important for forthcoming missions, including the ExoMars 2022 mission that will send a rover and surface science platform to explore the surface of the Red Planet.”

Pole Shift: Are We Long Overdue for an Extinction Event, Is One Underway Now?
COAST TO COAST AM – In the first extinction, 441 million years ago, around 86% of all life forms died. It’s possible, he postulated, that we live in a double-star system, “and our companion comes close every 70 million years or so, and when it does, the gravity from it throws all these distant bodies that are out in the Oort cloud” hurling toward us.
He shared different Armageddon fears, such as when the tail of Halley’s Comet passed through Earth in 1910, and many thought they might die from cyanide exposure. Berman also pointed out that the Earth’s north and south poles have been moving rapidly, and we’re seeing a weakened magnetic field. While a pole reversal may be underway, he noted that it generally takes between 100 to 1,000 years for this play out.
