UFO Filmed by US Air Force at Nellis 1995
UFO Filmed by US Air Force at Nellis 1995
A very interesting Hard Copy segment from 1995 about the UFO that was filmed at Nellis Air Force Base.
A fireball that was recently seen over Brazil may have been an interstellar object. This is incredibly significant as only two other objects traveling through our Solar System have been identified as being interstellar – ‘Oumuamua and Comet 2I/Borisov.
‘Oumuamua was discovered in October of 2017 traveling at a whopping speed of 196,000 miles per hour and has since been the subject of countless theories regarding its origins. While some theories make more sense like it being a comet, asteroid, hydrogen iceberg, dust bunny, or part of a Pluto-like planet, other hypotheses are little more bizarre, such as it being alien technology.
Comet 2I/Borisov was found in August of 2019 and since then, astronomers have been fascinated with it. In a recent report, experts have described the comet as being the most “pristine” space object that’s ever been observed. It is believed that our sun was the only star that the comet passed closely by. This is very important because when comets get close to stars, they may become degraded or altered by the solar heat and radiation, but when it passed by our sun, its composition of dust and gas was totally original and pure.
Comet 2I/Borisov
Furthermore, experts think that Comet 2I/Borisov may have formed from different parts of its system – from close to the host star to locations a lot further away. This could be explained by a bunch of space debris being tossed around by strong gravitational forces from large exoplanets.
As for the meteor seen above Brazil, the Earth-grazer was witnessed streaking across the sky over Rio Grande do Sul on May 30th. Two cameras from Brazil’s Meteor Watch Network (Bramon) recorded the meteor traveling across the sky. Since the meteor entered our planet’s atmosphere at a shallow angle of 6.1 degrees, it is referred to as an Earth-grazer.
The meteor began to burn up when it was at an altitude of 101 miles (162.5 kilometers) south of Capão Comprido, RS. It was moving at a fast speed of 143,350 miles per hour (230,700 kilometers per hour). To put this into better perspective, it traveled 151 miles (243 kilometers) in just 3.8 seconds prior to disappearing to the east of Carlos Barbosa in the Rio Grande do Sul state.
The meteor may be interstellar.
In a statement provided by Bramon, the meteor may actually be an interstellar object. The statement read in part, “Preliminary analyses indicate that it was generated by a meteoroid coming from outside the solar system.” If this is correct, this would only be the third ever space object of interstellar origin to have been documented in our Solar System.
A video of the meteor above Brazil can be seen here.
Some meteors may have traveled very fire to light up our skies.
Supernova Observed by Astronomers in 1181 Could Have Been a Rare Type 1ax That Leaves Behind a “Zombie Star” Remnant
Supernova Observed by Astronomers in 1181 Could Have Been a Rare Type 1ax That Leaves Behind a “Zombie Star” Remnant
In 1181 CE, Chinese and Japanese astronomers noticed a “guest star” as bright as Saturn briefly appearing in their night sky. In the thousand years since, astronomers have not been able to pinpoint the origins of that event. New observations have revealed that the “guest star” was a supernova, and a strange one at that. It was a supernova that did not destroy the star, but left behind a zombie that is still shining.
“Guest stars” are what modern astronomers now call novae or supernovae, and the brightness of the event in 1181 CE (described as being as bright as Saturn) and its longevity (visible to the naked eye for 185 days) means that it was almost certainly from a supernova. For decades, a pulsar wind nebula in the same region of the sky was thought to be the remnants of that supernova, but new estimates have placed the age of that nebula to be around 7,000 years old, far too old to account for the records from 1181.
The astronomers found one of the hottest known Wolf-Rayet stars, which they call Parker’s star, named for one of the study leaders. Wolf-Rayet stars are massive stars surrounded by hot envelopes of gas, and are some of the brightest stars in the sky.
Surrounding Parker’s star is a nebula, dubbed Pa 30. The nebula has an expansion velocity of around 1,100 km/s, and given its current size it likely formed from a supernova event about 1,000 years ago – right in line with the “guest star” observations.
The expansion speed of 1,100 km/s is far slower than a typical supernova remnant, and is usually connected with a rare kind of supernovae that doesn’t completely detonate its star. That fact would also explain the existence of Parker’s star – it’s a zombie remnant that should have died a thousand years ago, but it still living.
These kinds of supernovae are extremely rare, and this observation could mean this is the only known such zombie remnant in the Milky Way. And we wouldn’t know if it weren’t for those astute astronomers a thousand years ago.
The Moons of Rogue Planets Could Have Liquid Surface Water and Thick Atmospheres. They Could be Habitable
The Moons of Rogue Planets Could Have Liquid Surface Water and Thick Atmospheres. They Could be Habitable
The search for life on exoplanets takes a fairly conservative approach. It focuses on life that is similar to that of Earth. Sure, it’s quite possible that life comes in many exotic forms, and scientists have speculated about all the strange forms life might take, but the simple fact is that Earth life is the only form we currently understand. So most research focuses on life forms that, like us, are carbon based with a biology that relies on liquid water. But even with that narrow view, life could still be hiding in places we don’t expect.
Since terrestrial life depends on liquid water, the search for life on exoplanets focuses on those within the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ) surrounding stars. That is, not to close nor too distant, so that liquid water could exist on a rocky planet. For our solar system that’s roughly between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Most of the exoplanets meeting that criteria are super-Earths that closely orbit small red dwarf stars, since red dwarfs make up about 75% of the stars in our galaxy, and super-Earths are the most common terrestrial exoplanet.
One of the surprising discoveries about exoplanets is that Jupiter-sized planets often orbit close to their stars. These “hot-Jupiters” aren’t likely to have life, but they could have moons that are as warm and wet as Earth.

And it turns out that large gas planets don’t even have to orbit close to their star to have moons with liquid water. We know, for example that the Jovian moon of Ganymede has a water ocean beneath its icy surface. Europa is known to have more water than Earth, and even Saturn’s small moon Enceledus has liquid water. What’s interesting about these examples is that the presence liquid water on these moons is due not to the heat of the Sun, but rather to thermal heating due to the gravitational tug of their planet. Of course, this raises an interesting question. If moons of Jupiter and Saturn can have liquid water, what about the moons of Jupiter-like exoplanets that don’t even orbit a star?

That is the question examined in a recent article in the International Journal of Astrobiology. What’s interesting about this study is that it’s not simply asking whether an exomoon could stay geologically active enough to have liquid water. The answer to that is clearly yes. Instead, this work looks at how potentially habitable exomoons might form, and whether they could maintain enough liquid water long enough for primoridal life to evolve. For example, for moons within a stellar system, a primary driver for the chemical evolution of the moon would be the light and heat of the star. But for moons of rogue planets, a primary influence would be cosmic rays. This, combined with tidal heating would drive the evolution of a moon’s atmosphere over time.
To see the effects of these differences, the team models an Earth-mass moon orbiting a Jupiter-mass rogue planet. They found that with some reasonable assumptions about chemical composition and orbital stability, a rogue exomoon could maintain liquid water on its surface. Much less than that of Earth, but plenty enough to allow for life to arise and evolve in a reasonable timescale.
It’s important to not that this model focused on exomoons with a rich atmosphere. If these habitable exomoons exist, we might be able to study their atmospheres through infrared and radio astronomy. So the first planet to show evidence of extraterrestrial life might be a rogue one.

VIDEO 2 : MUFON CASE : 116178 Thornville, Ohio Glowing Orbs Seen From i-70E
Long Description of Sighting Report
REPOSTING WHAT I SENT VIA EMAIL:
I saw these extremely bright orbs while driving on i-70. I can't link the video on email as it exceeds the attachment size limit. I was able to keep the camera on it for a few minutes and then it either disappeared or my viewing angle was cut off.
It doesn't do anything spectacular in the video, but I remember seeing small white lights on the edges of the orb, something like this •●• that would blink on and off. I couldn't make out any motion. I also noticed afterward that my camera seemed to have switched focus after the orb disappeared from my line of sight. Could be due to light processing, or something else.
Maybe an hour before that around the same area on i70, just driving the opposite direction, there was some sort of aircraft that didn't look like a commercial airplane that did a very wide arcing turn, with all white lights blinking. Maybe a military plane but it was unlike any commercial plane I'd ever seen. It's just odd to me that the only time I've ever seen something like an UAP, I see a plane behaving strangely beforehand.

My husband and I were at the lakefront in Chicago on a Wednesday night in the air and water show was to happen that weekend so there were Jets and the like practicing during the daytime. We were crossing the street to go to Buckingham fountains when we saw this object in the sky over the water. It was very hard to distinguished what it was and we had no visible sound coming from it. No one else in the area seem to think it was anything or even notice it. I sent the video went to southern new stations but never heard back so we were just lead to believe that it was some thing for the air and water show. But the more times I’ve shown the video to people no one can tell me what it is.

Mutual UFO Network : MUFON SUBMISSIONS : Out for a drive, saw 3-5 orange lights in the sky, pulled over and filmed
Long Description of Sighting Report
Out for a drive in my convertible, noticed 3-5 orange lights in the sky to my right while going west on Disbrow Hill Road. First saw in the clearing at the farm, then I pulled over at the clearing with the soccer field.
It was 9pm June 10th. Still some light in the sky, enough to easily see the foreground, tree line, and the clouds in the sky (broken so you could see the sunset through them in some parts, beautiful night 65-70 degrees).
I was looking north, objects were moving west and in a horizontal and upward general direction. They were visible until they went into the clouds. They just kept coming into view from behind the tree line (visible in video). I watched for 2-3 min before I started filming. Total objects observed was between 30-50.
Objects were brighter than stars, with a clear orange light that pulsated. Objects seemed to be moving in slightly different directions and speeds relative to each other, while moving in the same general direction (west and up into the clouds). No sound at all from their direction.
After around 8-10 min they seemed to stop coming. I got in my car and drove off, but then saw another same type of orange light when I was going North on Milford Road. I pulled into the parking lot at the warehouse at [address moved to Investigators report section/ CMS/fgc] . There I saw the orange light above me and there were two small planes in the vicinity. One seemed to take notice of the orange light, a small single engine plane, that turned when it passed by the light in the sky. Then the object went up into the clouds.
Closest distance would've been that last part, which I'd estimate at 500-1500 ft from me, based on the planes. The planes did not get extremely close to it, so I have no idea exactly how big the orange lights were.

Chinese Marsrover deelt nieuwe foto’s vanaf rode planeet, inclusief een selfie
De Chinese Marsrover Zhurong heeft nieuwe foto’s doorgestuurd vanaf Mars. Op één van de foto’s is de rover in zijn geheel te zien, naast het landingsplatform. Op andere foto’s zien we het Marsoppervlak en sporen van de landing.
Bij de opmerkelijke ‘selfie’ werd volgens SpaceNews-journalist Andrew Jones een kleine draadloze camera op het oppervlakte van de rode planeet geplaatst waarna de Chinese Marsrover een foto van zichzelf op enige afstand kon nemen.
Een ander beeld toont het landingsplatform waarvan de Marsrover na de landing af reed. Op een panoramafoto, die ook in VR te bekijken is, is een weids uitzicht van Mars te zien en de plaats waar het landingsgestel volgens Jones vloeistoffen heeft geloosd om een veilige landing mogelijk te maken.
Eind vorige maand stuurde de Chinese Marsrover Zhurong, genoemd naar een mythische vuurgod, de allereerste foto’s die het maakte op Mars door. De Chinese ruimtevaartorganisatie CNSA publiceerde toen ook enkele gifs die toonden hoe Zhurong de ruimtecapsule verliet op weg naar Mars.
Zhurong werd vorig jaar in juli gelanceerd als onderdeel van de Tianwen-1-ruimtemissie. De Mars-sonde kwam in februari terecht in een baan rond de rode planeet, en bestudeerde vervolgens drie maanden lang de beoogde landingsplaats. Met de geslaagde landing van Zhurong eind mei is China het derde land dat succesvol een Marsrover heeft laten landen op de rode planeet. De Verenigde Staten en Rusland gingen China voor.
De rover weegt 240 kilo en heeft zes wetenschappelijke instrumenten aan boord, waaronder een topografiecamera in hoge resolutie. Zijn opdracht is de bodem en atmosfeer van de rode planeet te bestuderen. Daarnaast zal hij op zoek gaan naar sporen van leven. Aan de hand van een zogenaamde grondpenetrerende radar zal hij tijdens de 90 dagen durende missie water en ijs onder de oppervlakte proberen te vinden.

IN BRIEF
The Facts:
Journalist Jeff Schogol asked the DoD's primary spokesperson John F. Kirby a very direct question about whether the Pentagon secretly holds alien bodies and spacecraft.
Reflect On:
Can we expect an honest and complete revelation from the UAP report compiled by the US Intelligence community that's expected later this month?
UFOs have gone from zero to hero in what seems like a week. A topic once ridiculed by mainstream culture now fronts some of the most credible and widely read newspapers in the world. Currently, many are eagerly waiting for what they believe will be an honest and revealing report from the US intelligence community on their knowledge of UFOs/UAPs. It’s expected to be out later this month.
Just come right out and say it! That was the approach taken by Task & Purpose’s Jeff Schogol, a journalist who asked John F. Kirby, the DoD’s primary spokesperson, a very direct question about what the Pentagon holds in terms of alien bodies and spacecraft. His question was delivered during a press conference last week.
“There’s no way that I can sugar coat this. I was talking to a gentleman about the UAP report. He contends the Pentagon has alien bodies and crafts. So I wanted to run this past you, does the DoD have these things and if so, where?”
It really doesn’t get more direct than this, and the response returned by Kirby seemed taken aback by such a direct question,
“The UAP Task Force is really designed to take a look at these unexplained aerial phenomena and try to help us get a better understanding of them. Again, I’m not going to get ahead of the report that the DNI will submit that we are helping, obviously, and providing input to and I’ll just leave it at that, Jeff.”
Perhaps the upcoming report will answer questions like this, but given the longstanding secrecy US intelligence communities have applied to this subject, it’s unlikely.
If you’re a bit more fresh into the UFO discussion, the answer from Kirby may seem normal. The spokesperson would rather heed to the upcoming report and allow it to do the talking. But if you’ve been at this a while, this answer is classic to most questions like this over the last 70 years – vague, lacking clarity, and an awkwardness suggesting those in charge know a lot more than they are letting on.
One key takeaway here might be that journalists who have access to such press conferences might assist the public by asking such direct questions more often. As journalists educate themselves on the depth of what is already known about the ET and UFO phenomenon, perhaps questions can become deeper and perhaps derive more revealing information from government officials over time. Soft ball questions like we commonly see will only allow these subjects to remain in secrecy like they have for the last 70+ years.
For what it’s worth, in my educated opinion having researched this subject for 12 years and having worked alongside fellow journalists in our outfit who have as well, I’d bet a great deal on the fact that the US government is in possession of ET bodies and ET craft.
A Canadian Roswell: The 1989 UFO Crash In Ottawa, Ontario (Video Footage)
A Canadian Roswell: The 1989 UFO Crash In Ottawa, Ontario (Video Footage)
IN BRIEF
The Facts:
In 1989, a supposed UFO crash occurred in Carp, Ontario. Video footage, photographs and documents were leaked by someone who referred to themselves as "The Guardian." The story is unverifiable of course, but interesting to say the least.
Reflect On:
If there have been multiple instances of crashed craft an bodies recovered, what has been discovered about them as well as the beings who operate them? Why is our world drenched in secrecy?
Nearly everybody has heard the lore of the famous 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. If you actually look into it, it’s hard not to believe something did indeed happen there, but it’s important to note that it’s not the only supposed incident. There are a plethora of stories of UFO crashes from around the world, several dozen stories of these incidents have happened in North America over the last several decades.
The idea that non-human intelligent life forms and their craft have crashed and been retrieved by military and government agencies is also something that’s crept into the mainstream as of late, and it’s been something many UFO researchers have been well aware of for a long time. Just last year renowned astrophysicist Eric W. Davis, who worked with the Pentagon UFO program, formerly known as AATIP (now known as the “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force” or UAPTF), gave a classified briefing to a Defense Department Agency about retrievals from “off-world vehicles not made on this Earth.”
There is evidence showing that governments have been desperate to capture this technology for years. This inevitably means they might have been doing their best to bring these objects down at times, even if the objects don’t seem to instigate or initiate any type of aggression towards us. Based on my research, the majority of cases show that these objects perform evasive maneuvers to avoid our own aircraft. It is interesting to ponder how exactly incidents of crashed craft have occurred given the fact that the technology seems to be far more advanced than anything human beings can manufacture.
A well-known incident among UFO researchers comes from Carp, Ontario, a small community located near Ottawa. It’s an incident that cannot be verified nor be debunked. This resembles many other incidents that exist within UFO lore – we just can’t know for sure either way. Other incidents have more credibility behind them in the form of revealing declassified documents and testimony from high ranking people with verified backgrounds, like Davis mentioned above. Because of this, many researchers don’t like to explore or use this particular incident from Carp, Ontario, but I find it interesting nonetheless and feel it’s worthy of exploration.
This particular story involves a supposed extraterrestrial craft that crash-landed in the swamps just outside Carp in 1989. A supposed declassified document from Canada’s Department of National Defence described a scene common to other supposed crashes, with military soldiers desperate to retrieve the wreckage and any other debris that may have tumbled from the spacecraft surrounding the area. The supposed bodies were taken to an underground research facility while the craft was taken to a military base which coincidentally happens to be in very close proximity to the incident.
The interesting thing about this incident is that the documents were accompanied by photos as well as a VHS tape of the supposed UFO. They were leaked and distributed by an individual self-identifying as “Guardian”. The story spread quickly at the time, newspapers picked up the story and it eventually made its way to the television screen, appearing in paranormal documentaries and shows.
According to CBC news in Canada, who recently did a deep dive into the case,
People in Carp were also reluctant to talk about Guardian – on camera, at least. A year into making this documentary, we continue to get emails from people who claim to know something about the case. They’re afraid to speak on the record, uneasy about dredging up this strange part of the part of the past in a region where so many people know one another. As is the case with many witnesses to the inexplicable, they fear the attention – and the ridicule, it might draw.
Below is the short documentary they produce about the story. What’s particularly interesting is that there are interviews with multiple people in the area, many of whom have had strange UFO experiences. In one instance a woman experienced a military helicopter land near her house after she witnessed a UFO. Soldiers got out of the helicopter and quickly ran around the property, got back into the chopper and then left. What were they looking for?
Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered

The CHIME radio telescope has detected 535 fast radio bursts in its first year of operation.
Credit: Andre Renard/CHIME Collaboration
A radio telescope in Canada has detected 535 fast radio bursts, quadrupling the known tally of these brief, highly energetic phenomena in one go. The long-awaited results show that these enigmatic events come in two distinct types — with most bursts being one-offs, and a minority repeating periodically and lasting at least ten times longer than average.
The findings1 strongly suggest that fast radio bursts could be the result of at least two distinct astrophysical phenomena. “I think this really just nails it that there is a difference,” says study co-author Kiyo Masui, an astrophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
Why ultra-powerful radio bursts are the most perplexing mystery in astronomy
The overnight jump in the available data has put the radio astronomy community into a tizzy. “I woke up this morning and all my Slack channels were full of people talking about the papers,” says Laura Spitler, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, who co-discovered the first repeating burst2 in 2016 using the now-collapsed Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico.
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) collected the events in its first year of operation, between 2018 and 2019. The team announced their results during a virtual meeting of the American Astronomical Society on 9 June, and posted four preprints on the online repository arXiv.
Repeaters and one-offs
Located near Penticton in British Columbia, CHIME is a telescope with no moving parts. It comprises four half-pipe antennas, each 100 metres long. At any given time, it observes one narrow strip of the sky above. But as the Earth rotates, the telescope scans the sky, and digital processing chips collect its signals to form an image.
CHIME was initially conceived for mapping the distribution of matter in the Universe, but a complex kit of additional electronics was added in its design so that it could pick up fast radio bursts as well. Spitler recalls that many workers in the field had been skeptical about the telescope’s potential for detecting the bursts, but the latest announcement has vindicated it. “They’re actually meeting their prediction,” Spitler says. “It’s extremely impressive.”
While the jury is still out on what causes fast radio bursts, the CHIME results seem to cement the idea that there are at least two distinct types. Sixty-one of the 535 detected were ‘repeaters’ — coming from 18 sources that have been seen emitting bursts multiple times. The two groups differ by duration, with one-off events lasting a much shorter time. Repeaters also emit on a much narrower band of radio frequencies than do one-off bursts.
“It’s by far the most compelling evidence that there are two populations,” says Spitler.
Until recently, the evidence for this was not strong: some astronomers argued that non-repeating bursts could have just been repeaters that had not been observed long enough to see them burst again. “It doesn’t mean the phenomenon is wildly different, but it could be,” Masui adds.
Cataclysmic events such as the collision of two neutron stars could be a source of non-repeating fast radio bursts (illustration).

Fast radio bursts tend to be detected over one second or more. But this duration is misleadingly long: as signals travel across millions of light-years of space, intergalactic matter tends to smear radio waves across the spectrum. As a result, lower-frequency waves can arrive at Earth with a delay of several seconds compared to higher-frequency ones. Researchers have calculated that at the source, the emission of a radio burst typically lasts only milliseconds. During that time, the source of a burst is can emit 500 million times more energy than the Sun over a comparable amount of time.
The extent of this ‘dispersion’ of wavelengths provides a rough indication of how far the waves had to travel. So far, all bursts have been shown to originate from other galaxies, with one exception of an event that occurred in the Milky Way.
The CHIME team reported that the bursts’ sources appeared to be evenly spread across the sky. Only a handful could be traced to a particular galaxy.
Origin theories
In recent years, researchers have monitored some the regions of the sky that produced bursts in the past, and in some cases have seen them re-occur with regular periodicity. The ‘repeater’ discovered by Spitler and her collaborators in 2016, for example, has cycles of activity lasting a day or so — emitting several bursts per hour — and repeating every 160 days.
Bevy of mysterious fast radio bursts spotted by Canadian telescope
This regular repetition offers some clues about what might be causing the bursts. One possible explanation, Spitler says, is that repeaters could occur when a highly magnetized neutron star circles around an ordinary star in an elongated orbit. As the neutron star periodically gets closer to its companion, bursts could result from its magnetic field scattering the highly energetic stellar wind.
Non-repeaters, on the other hand, could be the result of cataclysmic events such as the collisions of neutron stars or magnetic storms in young neutron stars called magnetars. The Milky Way event was linked to a known magnetar. But the magnetar theory has been put into question by the recent finding of a burst from a ‘globular cluster’ in the galaxy M813. Globular clusters are dense collections of very old stars, and are considered unlikely to host magnetars.
The first discovery of a fast radio burst in 2007 came as a shock to researchers, and for many years only a handful were known, Masui recalls. Theorists came up with a plethora of possible explanations, and the running joke was that the theories outnumbered the actual events. Now CHIME has reversed that trend, he says, “I don’t think theorists will catch up with us.” And this first catalogue is only the beginning: since it was collected, the team has continued to detect many more fast radio bursts, and will publish them for years to come.
Na de succesvolle sonde Venus Express (2005-2014) wil Europa met EnVision de planeet opnieuw gaan verkennen, zo heeft het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA bekendgemaakt. België is weer uitdrukkelijk van de partij.
Venus heeft nog een reeks geheimen met als belangrijkste waarom onze naaste, en qua grootte en samenstelling op ons lijkende, buur zo een drastische klimaatsverandering heeft ondergaan. Antwoord op de vraag kan ook meer leren over de gevolgen van het broeikaseffect op Aarde. Andere vragen zijn of er nog steeds geologische activiteit is, of er ooit een oceaan en zelfs leven is geweest.
Samen met twee sondes van de NASA moet Envision, te lanceren door de toekomstige Ariane-6 ten vroegste 2031, dergelijke vragen proberen te beantwoorden.
ESA gaat er prat op dat de nieuwe Venusverkenner een “innovatief instrumentenpakket” zal meevoeren. Eén ervan is de Belgische VenSpec-H, een instrument dat voortborduurt op de NOMAD van het Belgisch Instituut voor Ruimte-Aëronomie (BIRA) op de succesvolle Europees-Russische ExoMars die rond de Riode Planeet wentelt.
Ann-Carine Vandaele, Séverine Robert en Eddy Neefs van het BIRA in Ukkel maken deel uit van de System Engineering Working Group. Vandaele leidt ook VenSpec-H.
Nieuwe planeet lijkt volgens NASA sterk op onze aarde
Onderzoekers van NASA en de Universiteit van New Mexico zijn erachter gekomen dat de recent ontdekte planeet, TOI-1231 b, gelijkenissen met onze aarde vertoont. De planeet zou elke 24 dagen in een baan rond een rode dwergster draaien. Bovendien zou de temperatuur er veel koeler zijn dan op andere planeten. De ontdekking geeft de onderzoekers nieuwe hoop in hun zoektocht naar buitenaards leven.
De planeet zou zich acht keer dichter bij zijn ster bevinden dan de aarde bij de zon. Toch zou de temperatuur op de nieuwe planeet en die op aarde gelijkaardig zijn, omdat de rode dwergster minder krachtig is dan de zon. Vergeleken met andere planeten, die vaak een extreem hoge temperatuur van honderden of duizenden graden hebben, is de nieuwe planeet relatief koel.
Zeldzame ontdekking
Volgens onderzoekster Diana Dragomir zou TOI-1231 b omgeven zijn door een atmosfeer en is het geen rotsachtige planeet. “De samenstelling en omvang van die atmosfeer zijn daarentegen nog onbekend”, klinkt het. Het is mogelijk dat er hoog in de atmosfeer wolken aanwezig zijn. Ook de aanwezigheid van water wordt niet uitgesloten. Verder onderzoek moet daarover meer duidelijkheid bieden.
Volgens de onderzoekers zijn de resultaten van de studie erg zeldzaam. Zo ging vorig onderzoek naar exoplaneten, of planeten die om een andere ster dan de zon draaien, nog nooit gepaard met de ontdekking van een planeetsysteem dat sterke gelijkenissen met ons eigen zonnestelsel vertoont.

Partial Solar Eclipse Images from Around the World
Partial Solar Eclipse Images from Around the World
People across the northern hemisphere looked up today – taking the correct precautions, of course – and were treated to a partial solar eclipse. The partial eclipse covered a region thousands of kilometres wide across most of Europe, northern Asia and northeastern North America. An annular or “ring of fire” solar eclipse was visible to some parts of Greenland, Northern Russia, and Canada.
Our unique lead image comes from Andrew Symes from Ottawa, Canada, who took this photo with his iPhone 11 Pro through his Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope, providing a fun and interesting look at his view of the eclipse!

Skywatchers from England and Ireland had clouds to deal with, but the pictures turned out to be stunning, as this picture from Peter Gallagher, Director of Dunsink Observatory outside of Dublin, Ireland attests:
Mary McIntyre of Oxfordshire, UK reports: “The weather forecast was awful so I honestly didn’t expect to see anything, but there were plenty of clear patches as I set up the telescope and then I was able to grab quite a few images of the first half of the eclipse before cloud rolled in. I didn’t quite get maximum because thick cloud rolled in after I’d taken my 10:58 am images. Thankfully we got a few more clear patches just as the eclipse was ending.” Here’s one of her shots:
This photo was taken at 10:58 BST, and is a stack of the best 60% of 150 TIFF files. Sunspot groups AR12832 and AR12829 are visible on the solar disc, as well as some faculae.

Key Shaped UFO Over Texas May Be Portal, June 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 4, 2021
Location of sighting: Denton County, Texas, USA
Watching this raw video taken from Texas during a family outing is mind-blowing. This UFO is like no other I have ever seen. The craft is standing upright and has a huge rectangle in its center. The eyewitnesses kids continue blowing bubble...oblivious to the alien craft passing overheard. But the father keeps his cool and tries his best to ignore the bubbles and keep focussed on the unusual shaped craft flying over them. This looks like a ring UFO that is typically round and makes clouds around it, however it has collapsed itself to appear thinner and long like a key. Its very possible that the opening within the center is actually a portal for alien craft to jump from location to location instantly...faster than light transportation. For this UFO to be over Texas...there must be a huge incoming or outgoing of ships in the near future. This...sounds like a big event coming soon in Texas.

Eyewitness states:
It’s an unidentified flying object to me because I don’t know what it was. We were sitting by the fire little ones had the bubbles going. Any idea? Deflated balloon of some sort? Almost looked like a parachute. 6/4/2021 8:57pm Denton County, Texas.

Date of statement: June 9, 2021 Source: Twitter
On a Tuesday hearing at the House Natural Resources Committee, Rep. Louie Gohmert had an idea for solving the climate crisis permanently...by changing the orbits of the Earth and moon. This sound silly and ridiculous at first, but the truth about it is far from it. You see, the moon is a hollow space station that is set in its location to observe and protect planet Earth from other intruding alien species. What I mean is the moon is hollow and can easily fly away if the alien species who control it so wish. But it was placed there long ago, in order to watch over the planet and keep other alien species from thinking that they can take it from them. Yes, Earth is unique a little bit and there is a high demand in the universe for life capable surface habitats. It does take a bit of time for aliens to create, so they do look after their territories well or they will lose them. What aliens live on the moon? Well...only one way to tell for sure...is to contact them. Sadly no attempts have ever been made to contacts aliens on the moon. Instead we aim our radio telescopes to planets systems that are 40 million light years away. And by the time those messages are found...the only thing left of us...is dust. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
I found a dark tower on the moon today using the LROC moon map at Arizona State University. The online program reveals a lot about the moon that they don't teach you in any classroom, unless you are in my classroom. I am a ESL teacher in Taiwan and yes, I tell kids the truth. That aliens exist.
This structure is very big and again...is not just a structure, but a mobile structure. Much like a mobile home can move from place to place...so can these structures. Makes them much more useful. Why oh why do they abandon them in craters so often? Well it sure makes them easier to find for anyone searching for parts. Like humans...even aliens like to recycle...so leaving the ship out for others to use is considered both recycling and helping to all species who need it.
