In Australia first creator of men is Biame, he has other names like thoth, thats what the Egyptians named him as all people had different words for him in different tribes, mean same thing. He gave Natives Australians lore, written on standing stones that were destroyed by a farmer threatened by the government in the 1900s. Lucky they were recorded, get the book, forgotton origins.

Then the second son of blame is called the nameless one, he died because land dried up and he didnt want to eat meat and died, he is now the southern cross, our brother. Ea didnt make the southern cross, as you have mentioned, our first brother to die became stars. This is the first stars in the sky, before that, no stars at all. Very old old old old old true story.

Fireball Lights Up Colorado Sky; But Astronomers Reveal the Meteor Was Moving Surprisingly Slow

When a meteoroid crashes through the Earth's atmosphere, it heats up due to friction from the air, creates a streak of light in the sky, and becomes a meteor. People often refer to meteors as fireballs, shooting stars, or falling stars because of the bright light they create. National Geographic said that even the smallest meteors could be visible from miles away because of their brightness and how fast they travel.

The fastest meteor they recorded traveled at 44 miles (71 kilometers) per second. The faster and larger a meteor is, the brighter it glows. But the meteor that lit up Colorado's night sky last Friday, February 18, seemed to deviate from the typical speed of a meteor based on the analysis conducted by astronomers.

Fireball Lights Up Colorado Sky; But Astronomers Reveal the Meteor Was Moving Surprisingly Slow

Atypical Speed for A Meteor

Last Friday night, the American Meteor Society was flooded with 30 reports of a bright and long-lasting fireball across the Colorado sky at around 8:30 PM.

UPI reported that astronomers had analyzed the speed at which the meteor streaked across the night sky and discovered it had an unusually long path and was moving at a slower rate than a meteor would typically travel. Fiske Planetarium director John Keller said that the meteor that sparked the dozens of reports was a bolide or a large meteorite.

Astronomer Chris Peterson from the Cloudbait Observatory also told local news outlet CBS Denver that the instruments that tracked the meteor's path seen in Colorado started to follow it from Steamboat, Colo to the border of New Mexico. He added that it was unusually slow and had an atypical long path.

Peterson gave two possible explanations: the meteor might have bounced off the atmosphere and headed back to space, or the meteor may have burned up completely. The space rock is estimated to have traveled about 60,000 miles per hour, which is considered unusually slow for a fireball. He believes that none of the meteor's fragments could have landed on Earth.

Different Types of Meteors

According to National Geographic, meteors can be categorized based on their size, brightness, and proximity to Earth. Meteors are earthgrazers that bounce off the upper atmosphere and re-enters the space, while some break up and streak through the sky in bright light.

The most famous earthgrazer "1972 Great Daylight Fireball," entered Earth's atmosphere and streaked through the sky of Utah and traveled at 9 miles per second (15 kilometers per second). The meteor exited the atmosphere over Alberta, Canada, witnessed by thousands of people.

One of the types of meteors is the fireballs, which could range in size from a basketball to a small car and are probably the most common type. Some experts claim that fireballs are bright and longer-lasting than any planet.

Meanwhile, a bolide is even brighter and more massive and often explodes in the atmosphere, where sounds can be heard and felt on Earth's surface. Some of them are classified as fireballs that produce a sonic boom as they streak through the sky.

Lastly, a superbolide is brighter than a bolide and creates a large explosion that can become a natural hazard and pose a danger to people. In 2013, a superbolide passed over Chelyabinsk, Russia, wherein the explosion could be compared to 500 kilotons of TNT.

Meteorite older than Earth likely came from a “protoplanet”

The rock, found in the Sahara, likely comes from a long-lost baby protoplanet.

• Erg Chech 002 is a meteor not like any other ever found.

• It’s older than the Earth, and its composition raises interesting possibilities.

• The meteor likely comes from an early baby planet in our solar system.

Scientists are discovering all sorts of amazing told by the meteorites found scattered across the Earth’s surface. Now a team led by Jean-Alix Barrat, a geochemist from the University of Western Brittany in France, have announced in a study that one such rock is apparently incredibly ancient, predating the Earth altogether. They believe it comes from a long-gone protoplanet, a baby planet that never got the chance to grow up, so to speak.

Its name is EC 002, and it may provide new insights into the early days of our solar system.

The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A basaltic achondrite from Australia

Erg Chech 002, or EC 002, was found in Adrar, Algeria last May in the nearly uninhabited Erg Chech region of the Sahara Desert. It was one of several chunks of meteorite discovered — together they weighed 32 kilograms (about 70 lbs). The Lunar and Planetary Institute describes EC 002 as being “relatively coarse grained, tan and beige appearance with sporadic larger green, yellow-green and less commonly yellow-brown crystals.”

A rough identification of EC002 classified it as an achondrite, which immediately differentiated it from most meteorites, which are chondritic.

• Chondrites are pre-planetary stony rocky formed billions of years ago from dust and mineral grains of the early solar system.
• Achondrites are rocks blasted off the face of planetary bodies, so they are newer. Their composition can provide clues to the formative processes of their sources since they they exhibit characteristics consistent with the period of internal melting that separates the core from the crust of a young planet. They’re also relatively uncommon. Of the tens of thousands of meteorites listed in the Meteroitical Bulletin Database, just 3,179 of them are achondrites.

Most of the meteorites found, about 95 percent, come from just two bodies out there in space, and about 75 percent may come from a single, large asteroid called 4 Vesta.

Here’s where we go from unusual to very unusual. Achondrites are usually basaltic, originating in a planetary body’s basaltic crust. EC 002 is not. It’s volcanic, a type of rock called andesite. The scientists have measured the radioactive isotopes of aluminum and magnesium it contains and concluded the minerals crystallized about 4.566 billion years back. Earth, by contrast, dates back only 4.54 billion years.

This chunk of cooled magma is a lonely survivor of that long-ago past. The authors write that “no asteroid shares the spectral features of EC 002, indicating that almost all of these bodies have disappeared, either because they went on to form the building blocks of larger bodies or planets or were simply destroyed.”

The andesite in EC 002 is interesting. On Earth, andesite’s sodium-rich-silicates are found in subduction zones where one tectonic plate sinks under another. (The basalt-like material in most chondrites forms when magnesium- and iron-rich lava cools.)

Still, EC 002 isn’t the first andesite meteor found, and a study of two of them (Graves Nunataks 06128 and 06129) discovered in Antarctica raises the possibility that they form from the melting of planetary bodies comprised of chondrites.

Some have theorized that if this is so, and since chondrites are so common, it could be that their melting into an andesite crust was a common occurrence during planetary formation. Indeed, Barratt’s study says, “It is reasonable to assume that many similar chondritic bodies accreted at the same time and were capped by the same type of primordial crust.”

It’s an interesting notion, albeit with two problems.

First, the light-reactive properties of EC 002 aren’t like anything else in the universe among the 10,000 objects in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database.

Second, not that many andesite meteors have been found, making one wonder where they all might’ve gotten to. They might have gotten smashed up and broken apart. Or maybe they were subsumed in the formation of later planets. Like our Earth.

Venus’ clouds may harbor ‘aerial’ aliens, MIT scientists say

Scientists have detected within the Venusian atmosphere a chemical known to be a byproduct of life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A team of researchers has detected significant amounts of phosphine within the cloud deck of Venus. 

• Computer simulations suggest that the amount of phosphine in the Venusian atmosphere couldn't have been produced by known inorganic processes. 

• The findings aren't conclusive evidence of alien life, but they do suggest Venus shouldn't be overlooked in the search for alien life.

The skies of Venus may contain signatures of alien life, according to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the search for alien life, the second planet from our Sun has long been ignored. It’s easy to see why: the Venusian surface reaches temperatures exceeding 800 degrees Fahrenheit; its dense atmosphere applies nearly 100 times more pressure to objects than Earth’s atmosphere; and the planet rains sulfuric acid, a corrosive chemical that causes severe burns to humans.

As such, most scientists have focused on finding signs of ancient alien life on Mars, or current life on moons like Europa or Enceladus. But Earth’s closest neighbor might have been the place to look all along.

A new paper published in Nature Astronomy shows that the Venusian atmosphere seems to contain significant amounts of phosphine, a chemical that’s known to be a byproduct of life.

It’s not conclusive evidence of life: Phosphine (PH3) can be produced through inorganic processes, like interactions involving sunlight, surface minerals, volcanic activity, and lightning.

But the study authors considered these and other potential sources, and they created computer models to test whether they could simulate the production of phosphine on Venus. The results produced small amounts of the chemical, but not nearly as much as multiple observatories have detected within the cloud decks of Venus.

So, for now, scientists don’t know what’s producing the phosphine. Alien life remains a plausible explanation.

“Technically, biomolecules have been found in Venus’ atmosphere before, but these molecules are also associated with a thousand things other than life,” study co-author Clara Sousa-Silva told MIT News. “The reason phosphine is special is, without life it is very difficult to make phosphine on rocky planets. Earth has been the only terrestrial planet where we have found phosphine, because there is life here. Until now.”

The Mysterious Planet

youtu.be

If life really is producing the chemical, it’s likely anaerobic life, which are organisms that don’t require oxygen. Interestingly, such lifeforms would probably be “aerial” aliens, floating within a relatively thin slice of habitable atmosphere, surrounded by otherwise hellish conditions.

How would those lifeforms have gotten there? Sousa-Silva explained:

“A long time ago, Venus is thought to have oceans, and was probably habitable like Earth,” Sousa-Silva told MIT News. “As Venus became less hospitable, life would have had to adapt, and they could now be in this narrow envelope of the atmosphere where they can still survive. This could show that even a planet at the edge of the habitable zone could have an atmosphere with a local aerial habitable envelope.”

The researchers emphasized that the detection of phosphine in the Venusian atmosphere isn’t necessarily evidence of life, but rather of “anomalous and unexplained chemistry.” Still, they hope to confirm their findings with additional observations, including a potential probe mission, which would be NASA’s first since Pioneer Venus 2 entered the Venusian atmosphere in 1978.

A New Nikola Tesla? Engineer Devises “UFO Patents” for the U.S. Navy

The government is experimenting with limitless energy and the ability to modify spacetime.

  By  Paul Ratner

Theoretical inventions known as the “UFO patents” have been inflaming worldwide curiosity. A product of the American engineer Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais, the patents were filed during his work for the U.S. Navy and are so ambitious in their scope and imagination that they continue to draw interest despite any clear evidence that they are feasible. The patents include designs for a futuristic hybrid vehicle with a radical propulsion system that would work equally well in the air, underwater, and in space, as well as a compact fusion reactor, a gravitational wave generator, and even a “spacetime modification weapon”. The technology involved could impact reality itself, claims its inventor, whose maverick audacity rivals that of Nikola Tesla.

The patents

How real are these ideas? While you can read the patents for yourself, it's evident that the tech necessary to actually create the devices described is beyond our current capabilities. Yet research into many of these fields has gone on for years, which may explain why the Navy expressed an interest. Another likely influence is the fact that the Chinese government seems to be working to develop similar technology. 

One of the most attention-grabbing designs by Dr. Pais is the 2018 patent for a cone-shaped craft of unprecedented range and speed. The amazing vehicle would be able to zoom around with ease both high in the air and deep in the sea. It would travel through air, water, and space by generating a quantum vacuum with an energy field. This vacuum around its body would help it push away any molecules it encounters, regardless of the medium. The craft would also not leave any heat signature, making it virtually undetectable. Controlling the “quantum field fluctuations” in the vacuum would counteract inertia and resistance, resulting in “extreme speeds.” Reducing a craft’s inertial and gravitational mass in this way could be transformational for space travel. It sounds like an enticing design. However, as noted, it’s not something we could actually create with current technologies.

Another futuristic patent with far-reaching ramifications is Pais’ Plasma Compression Fusion Device. It would be relatively small, less than two meters in length, and house fusion reactions generating power in the gigawatt (one billion watts) to terawatt (one trillion watts) range. By comparison, a coal plant or a nuclear reactor generate energy in the one to two-gigawatt range.

Notes from researchers who worked on vetting Pais’ ideas indicate that a possible outcome of the plasma fusion device and the high energy levels it may generate is the "Spacetime Modification Weapon” (SMW). Research documents refer to it as “a weapon that can make the Hydrogen bomb seem more like a firecracker, in comparison."  

Among Pais’s other inventions with military applications is a patent for an electromagnetic field generator. It could create “an impenetrable defensive shield to sea and land as well as space-based military and civilian assets” which would be used against ballistic and cruise missiles that avoid radars and other defenses. The shield would also be a barrier against dangers from space like coronal mass ejections and wayward asteroids.

Another device that could deflect asteroids is the high-frequency gravitational wave generator conceived by Pais. It would work to intersect generated electromagnetic fields and create waves of gravity. These could be used to propel spaceships to the far reaches of the galaxy, among other uses.

The Pais Effect

The fantastical inventions devised by Dr. Pais largely build upon an idea that he calls “The Pais Effect.” In his patent write-ups and in an interview with The Drive, he described it as “the generation of extremely high electromagnetic energy fluxes (and hence high local energy densities) generated by controlled motion of electrically charged matter (from solid to plasma states) subjected to accelerated vibration and/or accelerated spin, via rapid acceleration transients.” 

This effect amounts to the ability to spin electromagnetic fields to contain a fusion reaction. The electromagnetic energy fields would be so powerful that they could “engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level,” writes Pais.

In practical terms, this invention could lead to a veritable revolution in propulsion, quantum communications, and create an abundance of cheaply-produced energy. Certainly, an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence, as posits the Sagan standard.

The critics

The assertions by Dr. Pais have drawn a fair share of criticism and incredulity from fellow scientists. The nuclear engineer and researcher Carl Willis, who is also a reactor supervisor at the University of New Mexico, called Dr. Pais’s work, "a classic case of pathological science" that’s heavy on jargon and ”nonsensical statements” while providing little evidence that his ideas, which seem to contradict established physics, can bear fruit.

Physicist Stephen Webb of the University of Portsmouth in England was equally blunt, saying that, “I find it puzzling frankly that the patents were awarded.“ He called Pais’s ideas a, “wonderful wish list of things that we want,” which, “doesn’t make sense in terms of physics.”

Dr. Charles Collett, who teaches Physics at Muhlenberg College, did acknowledge that in theory, the Pais Effect may not be “outlandish” but in practice, there are "significant engineering challenges” in fashioning a device that would be able to produce the kind of electromagnetic forces Dr. Pais envisions in his patents. 

The trials

Despite the well-founded unease at Dr. Pais’s inventions, the Navy took them seriously enough to run experiments for three years and even found some of them “operable”, although the extent of that alleged operability is under debate. In the patent documents, two Navy officials seemed to assert the operability of the inventions.

Furthermore, in correspondence with The Drive’s “War Zone,” Timothy Boulay of NAWCAD, stated that Pais’s High Energy Electromagnetic Field Generator was, in fact, tested from 2016 until 2019, at a cost of $508,000. The team working on the project consisted of at least 10 technicians and engineers and put in some 1,600 hours of work. But upon the conclusion of the testing, the Pais Effect “could not be proven,” shared Boulay.

What happened subsequently with the tested device and further investigations is not known at this point. There are indications in documents obtained by The Drive’s WarZone through the Freedom of Information Act that the inventions could be moved to another research department in the Navy or the Air Force, or possibly even to NASA or DARPA, but whether that really happened is not clear.

Who is Dr. Pais?

As a creator of such potentially pioneering designs, Dr. Pais has understandably drawn scrutiny from internet denizens and skeptical scientists but as he rarely gives interviews (partially due to classified research for the military), he has remained largely enigmatic.

His author bio in a 2019 concept paper on the Plasma Compression Fusion Device, published by the peer-reviewed engineering journal IEEE Transactions on Plasma Sciences, provides some clues. The paper proposes a compact plasma compression fusion device that seeks to generate tremendous energy through nuclear fusion and describes Dr. Pais as a mechanical and aerospace engineer who currently works for the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) in the Department of Defense in Washington, DC. According to its website, the SSP is “the Nation's premier provider of cost-effective, safe and secure sea-based strategic deterrent systems and related technologies.” It works to develop advanced submarines and weapons for the stated mission “to prevent nuclear war.”

Dr. Pais’s education includes a Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and his prior credentials include work as a NASA Research Fellow, working for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in Maryland, and work as a general engineer as well as an advanced concept analyst for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, one of the world’s top companies for next-generation aerospace and defense technologies. 

Dr. Pais, claims the bio, utilizes his “advanced knowledge” in aerodynamics, with particular expertise in designing hypersonic missiles and vehicles. His wide-ranging research interests also extend to electrical engineering, room temperature conductivity, and new quantum technologies with a concentration on laser power generation and high-energy electromagnetic field generation. 

The inventor’s credentials are definitely impressive. Did he come up with devices that not only defy known physics and physicists but will radically change our life through limitless energy and high-speed all-medium vehicles? Time will tell, but in his exchanges with The Drive, Dr. Pais stands by his technological visions and asks the skeptics to “try to keep an open mind in regard to my work.”

Earliest known supermassive black hole 'storm' with a galactic wind travelling at 1.1 MILLION mph is discovered by scientists

• Experts used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile

• This allowed them to study massive black holes from 13.1 billion light years away

• They found evidence of a massive storm powered by these massive black holes

• Each black hole is found at the centre of the galaxies and have rapid winds

• The winds coming from the galaxy disrupt stellar material and star development

• This can reduce the potential size of the galaxy surrounding the black hole 

By RYAN MORRISON FOR MAILONLINE 

A supermassive black hole 13.1 billion light years from Earth is driving the earliest known example of a titanic storm with winds travelling at 1.1 million miles per hour.  

Researchers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile discovered the winds driven by the black hole 800 million years after the Big Bang. 

This titanic storm is a telltale sign these huge black holes at the centre of galaxies have a 'profound effect' on the growth of galaxies from the early universe, say astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)

The team say this is the earliest-yet-observed example of this type of storm coming from a black hole that is millions to billions of times more massive than the Sun.  

A supermassive black hole 13.1 billion light years from Earth is driving the earliest known example of a titanic storm with winds travelling at 1.1 million miles per hour

Sitting at the centre of many large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, there is a supermassive black hole and some are more active than others.

They found that the mass of the black hole is roughly proportional to the mass of the central region - or bulge - of the galaxy it inhabits. 

'At first glance, this may seem obvious, but it is actually very strange,' the authors of the study explained, adding that the sizes of galaxies and black holes differ by 10 orders of magnitude - with galaxies significantly larger.

'Based on this proportional relationship between the masses of two objects that are so different in size, astronomers believe that galaxies and black holes grew and evolved together through some kind of physical interaction,' they wrote.

A galactic wind can provide this kind of physical interaction between black holes and galaxies - with larger winds impacting galactic growth. 

A supermassive black hole swallows a large amount of matter. As that matter begins to move at high speed due to the black hole's gravity it emits intense energy, which can push the surrounding matter outward. This is how the galactic wind is created.

'The question is when did galactic winds come into existence in the Universe?' says Takuma Izumi, the lead author of the research paper.

'This is an important question because it is related to an important problem in astronomy: how did galaxies and supermassive black holes coevolve?'

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field, they found more than 100 galaxies with supermassive black holes in the Universe more than 13 billion years ago.

Then, the research team utilised ALMA's high sensitivity to investigate the gas motion in the host galaxies of the black holes. 

Researchers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile discovered the winds driven by the black hole 800 million years after the Big Bang

ALMA observed galaxy HSC J124353.93+010038.5, and captured radio waves emitted by the dust and carbon ions in the galaxy.

Detailed analysis of the ALMA data revealed that there is a high-speed gas flow moving at 500 km per second in J1243+0100 or 1.1 million miles per hour.

This gas flow has enough energy to push away the stellar material in the galaxy and stop stars from forming. 

It is the oldest observed example of a galaxy with a huge wind of galactic size. The previous record holder was a galaxy about 13 billion years ago; so this observation pushes the start back another 100 million years.

The team also measured the motion of the quiet gas in J1243+0100, and estimated the mass of the galaxy's bulge, based on its gravitational balance, to be about 30 billion times that of the Sun.

The mass of the galaxy's supermassive black hole, estimated by another method, was about 1 per cent of that, suggesting the new method could be more accurate.

The mass ratio of the bulge to the supermassive black hole in this galaxy is almost identical to the mass ratio of black holes to galaxies in the modern Universe. 

This titanic storm is a telltale sign these huge black holes at the centre of galaxies have a 'profound effect' on the growth of galaxies from the early universe, say astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)

This implies that the coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies has been occurring since less than a billion years after the birth of the Universe.

'Our observations support recent high-precision computer simulations which have predicted that coevolutionary relationships were in place even at about 13 billion years ago,' comments Izumi.

'We are planning to observe a large number of such objects in the future, and hope to clarify whether or not the primordial coevolution seen in this object is an accurate picture of the general Universe at that time.'

The findings have been published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Galactic wind from early universe detected

Researchers discovered a galactic wind from a supermassive black hole that sheds light on the evolution of galaxies.

Paul Ratner

An enormously powerful galactic wind generated by a supermassive black hole 13.1 billions years ago has been discovered by researchers. The scientists used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, which combines 66 radio telescopes, to make the find. The results are published in the Astrophysical Journal.

This is the earliest example of this type of wind yet spotted that underscores the role of black holes in the formation of galaxies. Research has shown that galactic winds affect redistribution of metals around the galaxy and impact start formation.

Black holes and galaxies evolve together

In previous studies, scientists have noticed an unexpected proportional relationship between the mass of a supermassive black hole at the center of a large galaxy, which can grow up to billions of times more massive than the sun, and the mass of the galaxy’s central area (known as a “bulge”). The proportionality of the masses is especially unusual considering that galaxies and black holes are so different in size, with the bulge generally being orders of magnitude larger. This led the researchers to conclude that galaxies and black holes developed together through coevolution, which involved some physical interaction courtesy of the galactic wind.

As ALMA’s press release explains, a galactic wind starts coming into existence when a supermassive black hole gobbles up giant quantities of matter. It is then moved at such a high speed by the black hole’s gravity that it radiates intense energy, which in turn, pushes surrounding matter away, creating the galactic wind.

Takuma Izumi, the paper’s lead author and a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), says an important question is: “When did galactic winds come into existence in the universe?” Finding this out can lead to understanding how galaxies and supermassive black holes coevolved.

Adapted from F. H. Cashman et al., Astrophys. J. Lett. 923, L11 (2021)

Finding an ancient galactic wind

The researchers used NAOJ’s Subaru Telescope to locate over 100 galaxies that existed more than 13 billion years ago that featured supermassive black holes. They then used the high sensitivity of ALMA to analyze the gas motion in these galaxies, finding that the dust and carbon of one of them (dubbed J1243+0100) emitted radio waves. This allowed the scientists to detect the presence of an intense galactic wind that rushes forth from the supermassive black hole at about 1,118,468 miles per hour (500 km/second). The energy of the wind, the oldest found so far, is so strong that it pushes away stellar materials, preventing stars from forming.

Interestingly, the mass of the bulge in J1243+0100 was found to be about 30 billion times larger than that of the sun, while the mass of the galaxy’s supermassive black hole was estimated to be about 1 percent of that. This ratio is essentially the same as the mass ratio of black holes to galaxies in today’s universe. To the scientists, this demonstrates how essential black holes are in affecting the growth of galaxies, supporting the notion of coevolution from the early period of the universe.

“Our observations support recent high-precision computer simulations which have predicted that coevolutionary relationships were in place even at about 13 billion years ago,” explained Izumi.

The scientists are planning to observe a large pool of space objects in the future, with the goal of clarifying “whether or not the primordial coevolution seen in this object is an accurate picture of the general universe at that time,” further commented Izumi.

Verblijf in de ruimte verandert je hersenen voor langere tijd: "Had niemand verwacht”

De hersenen van astronauten veranderen als ze voor een lange tijd in de ruimte verblijven. Dat blijkt uit een studie van het European Space Agency (ESA) en het Russische ruimteagentschap Roskosmos. “Astronauten moeten nieuwe vaardigheden aanleren door de gewichtloosheid en dat zie je in hun hersenen.”

Glenn Haex

Het internationale onderzoeksteam bestudeerde de hersenen van twaalf mannelijke astronauten die een langere tijd in de ruimte hadden verbleven. Hun hersenen werden vóór de vlucht, vlak na de vlucht en zeven maanden na hun terugkeer onderzocht met MRI-scans. “De veranderingen die het team waarnam, waren heel nieuw en onverwacht”, zegt prof. Floris Wuyts van de UAntwerpen.

Zowel de neuronen als de verbindingen tussen de neuronen in de hersenen waren toegenomen. Ook was er heel wat hersenvloeistof verschoven. Die vloeistof zorgt bovendien voor hervormingen in onder andere het corpus callosum, “de centrale snelweg die beide hersenhelften verbindt”.

Gewichtloosheid

Ook zeven maanden na de ruimtereis, waren de veranderingen nog steeds zichtbaar: “De veranderingen zijn weliswaar verminderd, doordat de astronauten opnieuw gewend geraken aan de zwaartekracht. Maar dat de effecten van de ruimtereis zo lang na terugkomst nog duidelijk te zien zouden zijn, dat had niemand verwacht”, aldus Wuyts.

We weten niet wat deze veranderin­gen op lange termijn zullen betekenen

Floris Wuyts, Labo voor Evenwichtsonderzoek en Aerospace (LEIA)

Oorzaak van de veranderingen is de gewichtloosheid tijdens de ruimtereis, waardoor de astronauten nieuwe vaardigheden moeten aanleren. Dat zie je namelijk in de hersenen. Of die veranderingen effect hebben in hun dagelijks leven – of ze bijvoorbeeld slimmer zijn geworden of vloeiender gaan bewegen – is nog niet geweten.

Langetermijneffecten

Ook het effect die de veranderingen in de hersenen op de langere termijn hebben, is nog niet bekend.  “De onderzochte groep is te klein om daar al informatie over te hebben of voorspellingen te kunnen doen”, vertelt Wuyts. “Op termijn zullen we mensen voor langere tijd de ruimte insturen, zoals voor een verblijf op Mars. Het is essentieel dat we op voorhand al een nauwkeurige inschatting kunnen maken van de verwachte effecten, zodat we de nodige tegenmaatregelen kunnen treffen om deze effecten te minimaliseren.”

Onderzoekers hebben ontdekt dat microzwaartekracht de hersenen kan doen opzwellen en de hypofyse kan vervormen.

Dino’s stierven uit in de lente: “Was op een gevoelig moment”

De meteoor die 66 miljoen jaar geleden bijna alle niet-vliegende dinosauriërs uitroeide, stortte op de aarde neer in de lente. Dat blijkt uit het groei- en eetpatroon van vissen die meteen na de meteoorinslag stierven. “We konden het duidelijk zien bij röntgenfoto’s van enkele fossiele steuren”, zegt de Belgische onderzoeker Koen Stein.

Paleontologen zijn het erover eens dat een meteoorinslag op het huidige schiereiland Yucatán in Mexico zo’n 66 miljoen jaar geleden het eind inluidde van de niet-vliegende dinosauriërs. Dit staat ook bekend als de vijfde massa-uitsterving.

“Die inslag deed de continentale plaat beven en veroorzaakte grote golfslagen in rivieren en andere waterlichamen. Dat maakte enorme hoeveelheden sediment los die vissen levend begroeven”, zegt Melanie During van de VU Amsterdam en Uppsala University. “Intussen regende het kleine glasachtige bolletjes: gesmolten steentjes die uit de inslagkrater waren weggeschoten, in de lucht verglaasden en een paar duizend kilometer verder neerkwamen.”

Bewijs voor lente

Die bolletjes vonden de onderzoekers terug in de kieuwen van enkele fossiele steuren in de Amerikaanse site Tanis, in North Dakota. Dat is onmiddellijk bewijs van hun dood kort na de meteoorinslag. “Ze waren heel duidelijk te zien op röntgenscans”, zegt VUB-onderzoeker Koen Stein. Op de scans konden de wetenschappers bovendien zien in welk seizoen de vissen stierven: “We bestudeerden de interne botstructuur van zes fossiele steuren. Daaraan kun je de seizoensgebonden groei aflezen, net zoals bij bomen. Deze vissen stierven toen het op het noordelijk halfrond lente was.”

Ook de botcellen van de vissen bevestigen deze theorie: hun grootte en dichtheid veranderen ook onder invloed van de seizoenen. “In alle visfossielen konden we de botceldichtheid en -grootte over verschillende jaren heen analyseren. In het jaar van de meteoorinslag waren ze groter aan het worden, maar hadden ze de piek nog niet bereikt”, zegt Dennis Voeten van Uppsala University.

Gevoelig moment

“We mogen hieruit echt concluderen dat ‘de grote dood’ in de lente kwam”, zegt During. “Dat was op een gevoelig moment, want in de lente start bij veel dieren de voortplantingscyclus. De incubatietijd bij reptielen zoals dinosauriërs en pterosauriërs is ook langer dan bij andere diergroepen, zoals vogels, dus waren zij mogelijk gevoeliger voor die plotse verstoring van hun omgeving.”

Ook verklaart het waarom sommige diersoorten de vernietigende meteoorinslag wel overleefde. In het zuidelijk halfrond was het namelijk herfst: “Dieren die toen al ondergronds aan hun winterrust begonnen waren, onder meer sommige vroege zoogdieren, kunnen zo de eerste maanden na de meteoorinslag, met grootschalige bosbranden, hebben overleefd”, aldus During.

Awesome Glowing UFO Seen Off Coast Of Sicily, Italy Feb 24, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 24, 2022

Location of sighting: Trabia Commune in Sicily, Italy

 

The eyewitness was on the coast of Sicily when he noticed a huge flashing sphere. The sphere would appear normal and then suddenly flash as if it were trying to communicate to the person. The UFO is over far out over the ocean, hovering low, yet the object is powerfully lit up. Very cool and rare sighting in Italy. 

 

What most people don't know is that they are just a few hundred km from the location of the famous Rocca Pia, Italy UFO case which lasted three decades...a case that involved human alien meetings and interactions. As you see Trabia city is facing the ocean...where part of the alien base exists. Aliens said the base holds about ten thousand people of different species. They also said the base is so big, it extends from below Rocca Pia all the way out into the ocean for 20km. Thats one big underground base! Just food for thought. More info on the Rocca Pia case here...

Flashing Orb Seen Over Yukon, Canada On Feb 24, 2022, video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 24, 2022
Location of sighting: Yukon, Canada

 

This eyewitness noticed a brightly glowing and fluctuating orb in the sky in Canada yesterday. The object seemed to be very close. I estimate it to be about 100-150 meters away from the eyewitness. As he watches and records it, you can hear his excitement when it flashes to him. The UFO does this to tell the person that it too noticed you. Kind of amazing experience, sadly the video is very short, but even a short video gives us great evidence. Undeniable proof that UFOs exist.

The Magellan probe sent to Venus that operated in the late 80s and 90s, collected an enormous amount of images that have finally been published by NASA in which huge cities, artificial structures and all kinds of elements that seem to obey constructions appear intelligent effected by some kind of alien race that inhabited or colonized the second planet in our solar system. 

In the following video, we show those buildings that we have found and their interpretations in 3 Dimensions of them.

Astronomers Discover A Disappearing Space Object That Turns On And Off Every 20 Minutes And Sends Highly-Polarized Radio Signals

According to a research paper published in Nature, astronomers detected a "really weird" object 4,000 lightyears distant from Earth. Every other minute, the object vanishes from view and produces a massive burst of radio waves three times an hour.

Tyrone O'Doherty, a Curtin University student, first noticed the enigmatic object while scanning the sky in rural Western Australia. "It's exciting that the source I identified last year has turned out to be such a peculiar object," stated O'Doherty in a press statement.

NASA Releases 4k Video Of The Moon Ending The Moon Landing Conspiracy

 NASA has just released a 4K video tour of Earth’s moon and the footage will make your jaw drop. Even though Earth’s moon can be viewed in unprecedented detail from Earth, NASA has recently released a video filmed in 4k showing off the surface of the moon in unprecedented close-up detail, and the video will definitely take your breath away.

How can we describe the video footage? Well, it’s stunning. It’s mesmerizing. It’s Fresh. It offers an entirely new way of exploring the surface of the moon, and you can see all of the most important and prominent features of the Earth’s satellite in the stunning video footage.

The footage dubbed as “virtual tour of the moon” in breathtaking 4K has been collected by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft over a span of nine years.
“The tour visits a number of interesting sites chosen to illustrate a variety of lunar terrain features,” Ernie Wright of NASA’s Space Visualization Studio explained in a blog post. “Some are on the near side and are familiar to both professional and amateur observers on Earth, while others can only be seen clearly from space.”

Wright explains that this recently published video is, in fact, an updated version of another one released 7 years ago, in 2011. Despite the fact that the camera path may be the same, the data that has been gathered in 7 years has made it possible for NASA to create a far more incredible and detailed presentation of the moon.

The recently released 4k video displays a number of the moon’s features, combining colors that highlight important or noteworthy data to make sure you not only enjoy the view but learn something new. One of the most interesting parts of the video is when we have the chance to fly over the Tycho Crater, a lunar formation said to be around 100 million years old.

The most interesting part occurs when you think you’ve seen the best part.

The video zooms in unprecedently, focusing on Tycho Crater’s mesmerizing central peak which features an enigmatic 100-meter-wide bolder at the summit, “the origins of which are still a mystery,” the video’s narrator says, adding to the suspense.
In addition to the Tycho crater, you can also fly above the Apollo 17 landing site at the Taurus-Littrow Valley, which as explained in the video, is deeper than the Grand Canyon on Earth. So, the end of the Moon landing conspiracy…right? I wonder, does that make the Taurus-Littrow Valley the ‘Grander Canyon’?

Anyway, while exploring the Apollo 17 landing site, the video offers a few overlays that show us the path NASA astronauts took as they spent three days on the surface of the moon in 1972. You can appreciate the bottom half of the mission’s lunar lander and rover vehicle, items that have remained untouched and undisturbed for the last 46 years.

South Australian brothers say they witnessed two UFOs in ‘conflict’ before 1980 Stirling crash

Nearly 40 years ago, Phil Tindale witnessed what can only be described as an air battle between two UFOs — which ended with one crashing to earth.

Frank Chung

Nearly 40 years ago, Phil Tindale believes he witnessed what can only be described as an air battle between two UFOs — which ended with one crashing to earth.

It was about 9.30pm on Thursday, February 7, 1980, and he was at home in the South Australian town of Aldgate when his twin brother Rob called out from his bedroom, “Phil, come and check this out.”

From their window looking down the valley towards Stirling, about 20 minutes southeast of Adelaide, the 10-year-olds saw a bright yellow object “bobbing around” just above the tree line, about 1km away.

After a few minutes, Phil says a second, slightly larger object appeared emitting a red light. In what he describes as almost cartoon-like motion, it “zoomed up” to the yellow object, stopped and reversed, then did it again “as if to prompt a reaction”.

The yellow object then “took off” with the red object in pursuit. They zigzagged across the sky like two “blowflies”, changing direction instantly with no apparent inertia and covering distances he later estimated to be up to half a kilometre in less than a second.

Throughout the “chase”, which Phil says lasted several minutes, the yellow object would periodically stop in mid-flight and shake back and forth “as if caught by some invisible force” before freeing itself.

An Associated Press article from February 8, 1980, about the Stirling UFO sighting.

Neither object made any noise. Eventually the yellow object sped off and disappeared behind a hill, and the red object also vanished. In total, he believes the entire sighting lasted about 15 minutes.

Rob Tindale confirmed his brother’s account.

“Certainly there were two lights, one appeared to the chasing the other, they both dipped below the horizon,” he said.

“It was a very memorable thing.”

The same night, a local farmhand, 21-year-old Daryl Browne, reported seeing a “speedboat-shaped yellow thing” like a “half moon” crash into some trees near the horse farm where he worked — in the exact area where the brothers last saw the object.

According to newspaper reports, Mr Browne told police he was watching TV that night when his dogs began howling. “And then I heard the trees smashing,” he said.

“I locked the kids inside and went outside with a torch.”

Mr Browne shone the flashlight into the trees and saw the object, which was “about 25 to 30 feet long” and was not emitting and sound or light. He called police but the object had disappeared by the time they arrived.

At the time, police told media only that there were unexplained broken branches and no other physical evidence. Mr Browne was interviewed by investigators from UFO Research South Australia the next day, who published a report in that month’s UFO Research Australia newsletter.

UFO Research Australia’s first newsletter.

Investigators visited the scene the next day.

For Phil, 49, the strange sighting was nothing more than a “campfire story” for the next 30 years or so. It wasn’t until around 2009 that he decided to investigate further, revisiting the scene of the crash and delving deep into the UFO topic.

He believes their sighting is unique, saying he has been unable to find virtually any other reports of “conflict” between UFOs. He says he is “100 per cent” convinced what he saw was extraterrestrial, and not military aircraft.

“Over the years I’ve done lots of reading but also personal investigation, contacting people one to one. There are loads of people out there who just don’t report it, don’t talk about it,” he said.

“Not everyone has a fantastically compelling sighting, often it’s just lights in the sky, but there are significant numbers of sightings where there is an object that is so far beyond our capability it has to be extraterrestrial.”

Rob said he was probably a bit more “conservative” than his brother about certain aspects of the UFO topic, but if he had to guess what it was they saw that night, “I would tend on the extraterrestrial side”.

“Certainly in the ‘80s and even these days, the fact that the objects made these quick, jerky motions, couldn’t have happened with the technology we’ve got,” he said, adding that it hadn’t particularly affected him. “It wasn’t like a close encounter, it was just seeing some lights in the sky — like watching a meteorite.”

Phil Tindale believes he witnessed two UFOs as a child in 1980.

Interest in the UFO subject has been revitalised in the past two years since The New York Times published a bombshell article revealing the existence of a Pentagon UFO study program. In the same article, a former high-ranking US Navy fighter pilot recounted chasing a “Tic Tac”-shaped UFO.

Phil said commander David Fravor’s description of the object’s movement resembled what he saw. “The instant acceleration, nothing can do that unless you’ve mastered the force of gravity, not using any conventional propulsion,” he said.

He says he has “considered everything” in terms of other possible explanations for what he saw but “the movements of the craft” were simply impossible using “any conventional propulsion”.

“There must be a million people like me,” who have seen things but don’t report them, he adds. In South Australia, at least, Phil is not alone. UFO sightings have been reported in the state since the early 20th century, but surged during the Cold War.

The most famous case was the 1988 incident with the Knowles family, who said they were driving along the remote Nullarbor Plain when a large glowing object “like a big ball” chased them and lifted their car off the ground.

Paul Curnow from the South Australia Astronomical Society said it was still common to get from several dozen to hundreds of UFO reports a year in the state.

“Probably for every 10 cases you get, nine can be explained in mundane terms,” Mr Curnow told the ABC last year. “Quite often people report a little silver dot in the sky (and it) turned out to be an aircraft. A lot of these things like planes, satellites, planets, even searchlights sometimes, can all add to what people are reporting.”
