16 Psyche: The asteroid that could make every person on Earth a billionaire
16 Psyche: The asteroid that could make every person on Earth a billionaire
Could 16 Psyche make every person on Earth a billionaire? The space mining race is heating up.
16 Psyche is an asteroid full of metal in the asteroid belt that could be worth $700 quintillion.
NASA plans to visit 16 Psyche by 2026.
Commercial mining of faraway asteroids could still be decades away and some set closer targets, like the moon.
Would you like to be a billionaire? All you have to do is figure out how to go into space and mine 16 Psyche, an asteroid made of gold and other metals like iron and nickel. Flying somewhere between Mars and Jupiter, this amazing space rock is estimated to be worth as much as $700 quintillion, thanks to all the metals it contains.
Quintillion, if you are wondering, is 1 with 18 zeroes. It’s such a large amount of money that if you divide it up between everyone alive on Earth currently, each person would get about $93 billion.
Of course, don’t pack your bags for your new palace just yet – the prospect of actually getting such a giant chunk of precious metals back to Earth is difficult and hasn’t been accomplished yet even on much smaller scales. And 16 Psyche is a truly massive space rock at over 200 km (120 mi) in diameter. It is one of the largest asteroids flying in the asteroid belt.
Experts, like Professor Zarnecki of the Royal Astronomical Society, conjecture we may be up to 50 years away from being able to carry out commercial mining operations of that size. To start things off, NASA is planning to send a Discovery Mission to the asteroid in 2022, which will arrive there by 2026.
Some skeptics also don’t believe the asteroid is as full of expensive things as we think, with Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital tweeting that 16 Psyche may just be “made almost entirely of an iron-nickel alloy, with small amounts of other metals, likely to include gold.” He thinks the news about the asteroid are just out there to help bitcoin, which would benefit from the price of gold going down.
There are also other questions to consider – if it really is so full of gold and other riches, the asteroid could actually crash Earth’s economy, which at $75.5 trillion is a pittance against the amount of money one could get from the asteroid.

Veteran miner Scott Moore, CEO of the mining company EuroSun Mining, explained to Oil Price that: “The ‘Titans of Gold’ now control hundreds of the best-producing properties around the world, but the 4-5 million ounces of gold they bring to the market every year pales in comparison to the conquests available in space.”
Of course, the thinking that a space gold rush that discovers a vast amount of heavy metals could bring down Earth’s affairs is based on the current state of economy and the needs of the present day. Decades from now our requirements for metal might be entirely different.
16 Psyche was actually discovered back in 1852 by the Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis, and named after the Greek mythological character Psyche.
Besides this giant rock in the asteroid belt, there are other mining opportunities much closer to Earth. Moore points out that while Psyche “may be the Holy Grail of space exploration for gold,” near-Earth asteroids are much better first targets for mining. Even our moon might be a better place to start such operations. It also has gold as well as platinum and other rare earth metals.
In other nearer goals, Deep Space Industries and Planetary Resources each plan to mine the 2011 UW158 asteroid, worth up to $5.7 trillion.
Lest you think this is all science fiction, Morgan Stanley projects the global space economy to be already worth $350 billion, which it thinks will grow to trillions by 2040. The race is on between the U.S., China, Japan and even small Luxembourg, which has 10 space-mining companies registered.
Why is NASA sending a spacecraft to a metal world? – Linda T. Elkins-Tantonµ
A new global analysis of the last 19 million years of seafloor spreading rates found they have been slowing down. Geologists want to know why the seafloor is getting sluggish.
New oceanic crust forms continuously along rifts thousands of miles long on the seafloor, driven by plate tectonics. As subduction pulls old crust down, rifts open up like fissures in an effusive volcano, drawing hot crust toward the surface. Once at the surface, the crust begins to cool and gets pushed away from the rift, replaced by hotter, younger crust.
Painting of the Mid-Ocean Ridge with rift axis by Heinrich Berann based on the scientific profiles of Marie Tharp and Bruce Heezen (1977).
This cycle is called seafloor spreading, and its rate shapes many global processes, including sea level and the carbon cycle. Faster rates tend to cause more volcanic activity, which releases greenhouse gases, so deciphering spreading rates helps contextualize long-term changes in the atmosphere.
Dalton and her co-authors studied magnetic records for 18 of the world's largest spreading ridges, using seafloor ages and their areas to calculate how much ocean crust each ridge has produced over the last 19 million years. Each ridge evolved a little differently: some lengthened, some shrank; some sped up, but almost all slowed down. The overall result of Dalton's work is that average seafloor spreading slowed down by as much as 40% over that time.
(stock image only)
Today, spreading rates top out around 140 millimeters per year, but peaked around 200 millimeters per year just 15 million years ago in some places, according to the new study. The study was published in the AGU journal Geophysical Research Letters, which publishes high-impact, short-format reports with immediate implications spanning all Earth and space sciences.
The slowdown is a global average, the result of varying spreading rates from ridge to ridge. The study examined 18 ridges, but took a particularly close look at the eastern Pacific, home to some of the globe's fastest spreading ridges. Because these slowed greatly, some by nearly 100 millimeters per year slower compared to 19 million years ago, they dragged down the world's average spreading rates.
It's a complex problem to solve, made more difficult by the seafloor's slow and steady self-destruction.
"We know more about the surfaces of some other planets than we do our own seafloor," said Colleen Dalton, a geophysicist at Brown University who led the new study. "One of the challenges is the lack of perfect preservation. The seafloor is destroyed, so we're left with an incomplete record."
The seafloor is destroyed in subduction zones, where oceanic crust slides under continents and sinks back into the mantle, and is reforged at seafloor spreading ridges. This cycle of creation and destruction takes about every 180 million years, the age of the oldest seafloor. The crust's magnetic record tracks this pattern, producing identifiable strips every time the Earth's magnetic field reverses.
Dalton and her co-authors studied magnetic records for 18 of the world's largest spreading ridges, using seafloor ages and their areas to calculate how much ocean crust each ridge has produced over the last 19 million years. Each ridge evolved a little differently: some lengthened, some shrank; some sped up, but almost all slowed down. The overall result of Dalton's work is that average seafloor spreading slowed down by as much as 40% over that time.
The driver here might be located at subduction zones rather than spreading ridges: for example, as the Andes grow along the western edge of the South American continent, the mountains push down on the crust.
"Think of it as increased friction between the two colliding tectonic plates," Dalton said. "A slowdown in convergence there could ultimately cause a slowdown in spreading at nearby ridges." A similar process could have operated underneath the Himalaya, with the rapidly growing range slowing spreading along the ridges in the Indian Ocean.
However, Dalton points out, this added friction can't be the only driver of the slowdown, because she found slowing rates globally and mountain growth is regional. Larger-scale processes, like changes in mantle convection, could also be playing a role. In all likelihood, she concludes, it's a combination of both. To learn more, Dalton hopes to collect absolute plate speeds, rather than the relative speeds used in this study, which will better allow her to determine the cause of the slowdown.
OCEANISCHE SPREIDING GAAT STEEDS LANGZAMER - EN WETENSCHAPPERS BEGRIJPEN ER NIETS VAN
OCEANISCHE SPREIDING GAAT STEEDS LANGZAMER - EN WETENSCHAPPERS BEGRIJPEN ER NIETS VAN
Vivian Lammerse
Tragere spreidingssnelheden kunnen leiden tot een daling van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen door vulkanen. En dus willen onderzoekers hier het fijne van weten.
Wetenschappers hebben ineen nieuwe studie de zogenaamde ‘oceanische spreiding’ gedurende de afgelopen 19 miljoen jaar geanalyseerd. Het leidt tot een frappante ontdekking. Want uit de analyse blijkt dat de oceanische spreiding tegenwoordig een stuk langzamer gaat. Maar waarom?
Oceanische spreiding Aangedreven door platentektoniek vormt zich voortdurend een nieuwe oceanische korst langs duizenden kilometers lange spleten op de zeebodem. In zekere zin zou je kunnen zeggen dat het aardoppervlak hier dus groeit. Maar onze planeet wordt niet groter, doordat de groei gecompenseerd wordt door subductie die elders plaatsvindt. Hierbij wordt de oude korst naar beneden getrokken. Uit de aardmantel komt warm materiaal omhoog in de vorm van magma, dat de ruimte die in de korst ontstaat, opvult. Dit magma zorgt vervolgens voor vulkanisme op de plaatgrens, waardoor er een nieuwe korst van gestold magma wordt gevormd. Eenmaal aan de oppervlakte koelt de korst af en wordt weggeduwd van de spleet waar vervolgens weer meer nieuwe korst kan ontstaan. En deze cyclus noemen we oceanische spreiding.

Snelheid De snelheid van de oceanische spreiding bepaalt veel mondiale processen, waaronder het zeeniveau en de koolstofcyclus. Wanneer de oceanische spreiding versnelt, kan dit leiden tot meer vulkanisme, waardoor er weer meer broeikasgassen vrijkomen. Wanneer de oceanische spreiding vertraagt, kan dit juist leiden tot een daling van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen door vulkanen. Kortom, het ontcijferen van de spreidingssnelheden helpt om langetermijnveranderingen in de atmosfeer in kaart te brengen.
Studie In het nieuwe onderzoek bestudeerde het team 18 verschillende oceanische ruggen waar oceanische spreiding plaatsvindt. In het bijzonder concentreerden de onderzoekers zich op ruggen in de oostelijke Stille Oceaan. De onderzoekers bepaalden de leeftijd van de zeebodem om zo te berekenen hoeveel oceaankorst elke rug in de afgelopen 19 miljoen jaar heeft gevormd.
Langzamer Uit de resultaten blijkt dat elke rug een beetje anders is geëvolueerd; sommige werden langer terwijl andere slonken. Maar opvallend genoeg was er één gemeenschappelijke deler: op bijna alle ruggen verloopt de oceanische spreiding tegenwoordig een stuk langzamer. De onderzoekers komen zelfs tot de verrassende ontdekking dat de gemiddelde oceanische verspreiding gedurende de laatste 19 miljoen jaar met maar liefst 40 procent is vertraagd.
Waarom? De prangende vraag is natuurlijk waarom de oceanische spreiding vertraagt. Dit is echter niet zo gemakkelijk te achterhalen, mede door de langzame en gestage zelfvernietiging van de zeebodem (in de eerder genoemde subductiezones). “We weten meer over de oppervlakken van sommige andere planeten dan over onze eigen zeebodem,” zegt onderzoeker Colleen Dalton. “Eén van de uitdagingen is het gebrek aan bewaring. De zeebodem wordt vernietigd, dus we beschikken niet over alle informatie.”
Subductiezones De onderzoekers hebben wel een theorie. Zo vermoeden ze dat we het antwoord in de subductiezones moeten zoeken. Als de Andes bijvoorbeeld groeit aan de westelijke rand van het Zuid-Amerikaanse continent, dan drukken de bergen op de korst. “Zie het als een verhoogde wrijving tussen twee botsende, tektonische platen,” legt Dalton uit. “Een vertraging van de convergentie zou daar uiteindelijk een vertraging van de verspreiding op nabijgelegen bergkammen kunnen veroorzaken.”
Combinatie Dalton wijst er echter op dat deze extra wrijving niet de enige oorzaak van de vertraging hoeft te zijn. Ook grootschaligere processen, zoals veranderingen in mantelconvectie, kunnen een rol spelen. “Naar alle waarschijnlijkheid is het een combinatie van beide,” zo concludeert ze.
Waarom de oceanische verspreiding dus vertraagt? Vooralsnog moeten onderzoekers ons het antwoord schuldig blijven. Om het mysterie te onthullen, hoopt Dalton in vervolgonderzoek absolute, plaatselijke spreidingssnelheden te verzamelen. Hierdoor denkt ze de oorzaak van de vertraging beter te kunnen bepalen.
518-Million-Year-Old-Rocks Suggest Animal And Human Life May Have First Emerged In China – Scientists Say
518-Million-Year-Old-Rocks Suggest Animal And Human Life May Have First Emerged In China – Scientists Say
Jan Bartek - AncientPages.com - A new study based on an analysis of 518'million-year-old rocks that contain the oldest collection of fossils that researchers have on record. The researchers believe that Chengjian, a city in the mountainous Yunnan Province of China, is the origin of many of today’s species, including humans. This site is where complex organisms first developed, an event known as the ‘Cambrian Explosion’, a major time period in the history of the Earth.

The ancestors of many animal species alive today may have lived in a delta in what is now China, new research suggests.
The Cambrian Explosion, more than 500 million years ago, saw the rapid spread of bilaterian species—symmetrical along a central line, like most of today's animals (including humans).
The 518-million-year-old Chengjiang Biota—in Yunnan, southwest China—is one of the oldest groups of animal fossils currently known to science and a key record of the Cambrian Explosion.
Fossils of more than 250 species have been found there, including various worms, arthropods (ancestors of living shrimps, insects, spiders, scorpions), and even the earliest vertebrates (ancestors of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals).
The new study finds for the first time that this environment was a shallow-marine, nutrient-rich delta affected by storm floods.

The area is now on land in the mountainous Yunnan Province, but the team studied rock core samples that show evidence of marine currents in the past environment.
"The Cambrian Explosion is now universally accepted as a genuine rapid evolutionary event, but the causal factors for this event have been long debated, with hypotheses on environmental, genetic, or ecological triggers," said senior author Dr. Xiaoya Ma, a palaeobiologist at the University of Exeter and Yunnan University.
"The discovery of a deltaic environment shed new light on understanding the possible causal factors for the flourishing of these Cambrian bilaterian animal-dominated marine communities and their exceptional soft-tissue preservation.
"The unstable environmental stressors might also contribute to the adaptive radiation of these early animals."
Co-lead author Farid Saleh, a sedimentologist and taphonomist at Yunnan University, said: "We can see from the association of numerous sedimentary flows that the environment hosting the Chengjiang Biota was complex and certainly shallower than what has been previously suggested in the literature for similar animal communities."
Changshi Qi, the other co-lead author, and a geochemist at the Yunnan University, added: "Our research shows that the Chengjiang Biota mainly lived in a well-oxygenated shallow-water deltaic environment.
"Storm floods transported these organisms down to the adjacent deep oxygen-deficient settings, leading to the exceptional preservation we see today."

Co-author Luis Buatois, a paleontologist and sedimentologist at the University of Saskatchewan, said: "The Chengjiang Biota, as is the case of similar faunas described elsewhere, is preserved in fine-grained deposits.
"Our understanding of how these muddy sediments were deposited has changed dramatically during the last 15 years.
"Application of this recently acquired knowledge to the study of fossiliferous deposits of exceptional preservation will change dramatically our understanding of how and where these sediments accumulated."
The results of this study are important because they show that most early animals tolerated stressful conditions, such as salinity (salt) fluctuations, and high amounts of sediment deposition.
This contrasts with earlier research suggesting that similar animals colonized deeper-water, more stable marine environments.
"It is hard to believe that these animals were able to cope with such a stressful environmental setting," said M. Gabriela Mángano, a palaeontologist at the University of Saskatchewan, who has studied other well-known sites of exceptional preservation in Canada, Morocco, and Greenland.

Maximiliano Paz, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Saskatchewan who specializes in fine-grained systems, added: "Access to sediment cores allowed us to see details in the rock which are commonly difficult to appreciate in the weathered outcrops of the Chengjiang area."

ALIEN ORBS PHOTOGRAPHED COMING OUT OF THE WATERS IN DEVON ENGLAND
ALIEN ORBS PHOTOGRAPHED COMING OUT OF THE WATERS IN DEVON ENGLAND
MARCH 23, 2022 …………DADDYHOLE TORQUAY DEVON ENGLAND
Hi Ken : I had gone back to Daddyhole Plain to further investigate the area, and see if I could capture anymore strange phenomena. It was a hot sunny day, but unfortunately there was a slight mist around the coastline which meant it would be a lot harder to capture anything out of the ordinary, but nevertheless I was determined to give it a shot. I was looking towards Thatcher Rock and Ore Stone, when all of a sudden a load of black spheres shot up from out of the watery depths and flew around above the small islands before they flew back down into the sea. I had successfully managed to capture these spheres with my Nikon P900 camera within a burst of photographs that clearly showed the erratic movement of these rather unusual sphere shaped objects. I was very intrigued by them, and I zoomed in further upon Thatcher Rock and Ore Stone to try to capture a closer look at them, and to my surprise two more black spheres emerged from the water and flew away.
I immediately took up a different vantage point looking out towards the water in order to see where they had gone, and I was really quite surprised by what I saw. There were six spheres in total, two of which were in the water, while the other four were seemingly just hanging silently in the air in a fixed formation. It was a very peculiar sight. I quickly took some photographs and with that they all flew off in all different directions away from view. I was completely stunned by this. These objects had no visible signs of any propulsion, and were completely silent. I have been witnessing these black spheres at this location for many years now, and they have many strange observable traits which are definitely unlike anything conventional. Whatever this phenomena is, it clearly has a strong presence within this area of Torquay and is definitely worthy of further scrutiny and continued scientific study in order to understand what exactly it could be, and why it is so prevalent within this particular area. The photographs were taken on the 23rd of March 2022, at Daddyhole Plain, Torquay Devon England. All the best John.

THE mystery behind the strange ‘alien’ orbs which have been washing up on Britain’s beaches has been solved.
Yesterday we reported that holidaymakers were steering clear of the orbs, fearing they could be poisonous.

Others thought the strange sea beasts, spotted in popular tourist spots in Cornwall and Devon, could be something from outer space, or harmless stray baseballs.
One dog walker took an orb home as a memento, before swiftly chucking it in the bin over fears it could spring to life and attack their family.

But now marine experts have revealed the creatures are actually a species of urchins, known as ‘sea potatoes’, which live buried deep in the sand across the British coast.
What is a sea potato?
They normally live on - or under - the sea bedCredit: Getty Images
The animals grow to sizes of 3 inches, and can survive in waters of up to 650ft.
They have dried shells which look like a potatoes, hence the name, and are a deep yellow colour.
The creatures also have special spoon-shaped spines on their backs, which help them dig up to 650ft into the ground and allow them to breathe
Hundreds of DEAD sea potatoes were found on the shore at Long Rock, between Penzance and Marazion, on Wednesday night.
This is thought to be the biggest mass mortality of sea potatoes since May 1995, when hundreds of them washed up on the south coast of England.
They look a bit like baseball balls... and others feared they could be ALIENSCredit: Wessex News
Back then, the deaths were caused by exceptionally calm waters - which allowed a thick bloom of plankton to settle on top of the sea bed, and suffocate the tiny urchins.
Watch this amazing news video about a many who saw an orange UFO several times in his area of Austin, Texas. He wasn't alone, many others saw them too. Aliens are trying to get themselves noticed little by little, desensitizing the public about the horrible stereotypes that the movies have put in all our heads. This kind of activity will continue until enough people have no fear when looking up at such objects in the sky.

Eyewitness states:
"I just walked out and saw this strange light in the sky," said Sal Sanchez, who captured video of the lights. "I was looking around at all the planes in the air like, ‘Is anybody seeing this?’""You had to have been here to see it," he said. "There was one right after another." His neighbor and family have also witnessed the phenomenon. "My daughter saw it another time," said Sanchez. "Two that were coming south to north met up with one that was going north to south, and it turned around and followed the other ones back."
Photos and videos have been captured of so-called UFOs for years. A recent, local sighting has caught the eye of multiple witnesses.
KYLE, Texas - Orange, glowing orbs moving through the Kyle sky have caught the eyes of multiple witnesses in recent months.
"I just walked out and saw this strange light in the sky," said Sal Sanchez, who captured video of the lights. "I was looking around at all the planes in the air like, ‘Is anybody seeing this?’"
That was in January. Since then, he’s seen it a handful of times, including what he calls a "light show like you wouldn’t believe" on Sunday night.
"You had to have been here to see it," he said. "There was one right after another."
His neighbor and family have also witnessed the phenomenon.
"My daughter saw it another time," said Sanchez. "Two that were coming south to north met up with one that was going north to south, and it turned around and followed the other ones back."
Sanchez does not believe it’s a drone because of how low it appears to fly without making a sound.
He’s also compared his video to other videos and pictures that have been taken around the country.
"So many videos are out there that depict the same thing I’ve been seeing," he said.
"I’ve seen a lot and this video intrigued me," she said.
She shared her thoughts with FOX 7 after viewing Sanchez’s video.
"My first thought was that maybe this is a Chinese lantern, but it is definitely not," she said. "The video goes for over a minute, the light is solid the whole time and it looks to be moving intentionally."
Kyle said she can’t rule out a drone, but she also can’t say for certain that it is.
"It would have to be a very expensive, advanced drone," she said. "Drones can fly like 400 feet, pretty high up there, and there are some advanced drones that can go like 100 miles per hour."
She did note that drones weren’t allowed to fly in civilian airspace until 2006, and sightings similar to Sanchez’s have been reported before then.
FOX 7 reached out to Hays County and a spokesperson said they had not been notified of anything. FOX 7 is waiting to hear back from the City of Kyle.
"If it is something that is not of this world, why here in Kyle?" said Sanchez.
In June 2021, the Pentagon released a report on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). Out of 144 cases, it was only able to identify one of the reported sightings as a large, deflating balloon.
"It's very possible that this is not anything that we're familiar with and that this is truly mysterious," said Kyle.

There has been a recent increase in media attention to reports of witnesses to UFO sightings who went on to later report a variety of other paranormal activities in their lives. These events run the gamut from reports of alien beings to orbs of light or even ghosts. Perhaps more disturbingly, the events were not restricted to the locations where the UFO sightings took place. Sometimes the phenomena would follow them to their homes or even their workplaces, impacting their families, friends or even coworkers. These types of events have been described as encounters with paranormal "hitchhikers."
The most recent and popularly cites instances emerged from the latest books and documentary series describing the events at Skinwalker Ranch, in Utah. Researchers who have visited the ranch and observed anomalous craft in the skies and other phenomena have reported returning home and dealing with even stranger experiences. These range from the merely curious, such as odd failures of automobiles or electronic devices to one person whose family saw werewolves in their backyard.
It's not just researchers and scientists who are impacted. British musician and television host Robbie Wiliams visited the ranch as part of a television production. He later confessed that he is now frightened that he might be "taken over" by a hitchhiking alien or some other type of entity. These reports appear too numerous to write off as simple paranoia or delusions.
But similar stories are not limited to the modern era and one enigmatic ranch in the American West. They've been reported from many parts of the world dating back to times long before the world heard of Skinwalker Ranch. Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist for the band Kiss, confessed during an interview that he had seen multiple unidentified flying objects, including at least one that was "tube-shaped" and another that landed in the yard behind his house, leaving scorch marks in the grass. The weirdness didn't stop there, however. He later began seeing ghosts, going so far as to say that one of them had "punched him in the face."
In 2000, a man named Stan Romanek from Denver, Colorado observed an inexplicable craft in the skies and even managed to catch it on film. It wouldn't be the last time and he went to so see a variety of craft or orbs flying overhead. But the intensity of his experiences increased when he began reporting seeing figures of various sorts around his property, culminating with three "beings" literally knocking on his door one night. Romanek believes he was abducted and continued to have other interactions with these entities for years to come.
Yet another group of examples can be found in reports emanating from Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. Tourists visiting the remote park have frequently described UFOs entering and exiting the volcanic craters found there. One such witness was Sol Vasquez, who visited the park in 2015. After multiple sightings of anomalous craft were reported in the area, Vasquez and a friend went jogging along one of the trails in the park. At one point, Vasquez described hearing an eerie noise that his friend said he could not hear. Shortly thereafter, he saw a "reptilian humanoid" humanoid stepped onto the trail in front of him. Once again, his hiking partner could not see anything unusual, but he chased Vasquez back down the trail as his friend fled in terror from the being.
I've been paying particular attention to these types of reports recently because of events that have struck closer to home. Following three sightings of unidentifiable craft in our neighborhood in upstate New York in 2021, some less frightening but still unsettling events visited our family. Both of us began occasionally encountering something around our house that looked for all the world like a cat, except it was composed entirely of what we could only describe as a solid, featureless shadow. I began calling it a "shadow cat" while my better half calls it the "ghost cat." To be clear, it's never done anything aggressive or frightening and we've experienced no damage or harm from it. But it's certainly peculiar.
So is there some sort of relationship between what witnesses may describe as a "nuts and bolts" unidentified flying object and the more ethereal phenomena that many witnesses report in the aftermath of a UFO sighting? As with most questions that pop up in this field of study, the data doesn't appear to support the drawing of any firm conclusions. But as many observers, including scientists and government officials have already begun to speculate, the universe may turn out to be far stranger and more mysterious than we had previously imagined.

4-Billion-Year-Old Fossils Found -- This May Change Everything
4-Billion-Year-Old Fossils Found -- This May Change Everything
(Note: photo above is not the fossil in this article)
Scientists of all disciplines generally accept that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Paleontologists are dependent upon fossils to determine when the first life appeared on Earth, so fossilized microorganisms found in Australian Apex chert rocks that date back 3.465 billion years are generally considered to be the first confirmed life forms. That may change significantly as experts analyze a rock found in Quebec, Canada, with tiny fossilized filaments and other evidence suggesting they were made by bacteria that lived between 3.75 and 4.28 billion years ago. If this is confirmed, it pushes the birth of life on Earth back 300 million years to very near the birth of the planet itself. Does this qualify as a “This changes everything!” moment?
You never know which rock will change everything.
“This means life could have begun as little as 300 million years after Earth formed. In geological terms, this is quick – about one spin of the Sun around the galaxy.”
Dr Dominic Papineau, an associate professor in geochemistry and astrobiology at University College London and lead author of a report on the discovery published in the journal Science Advances, sounds pretty excited about the fossil in a press release. Of course, that could be because he found it – he collected it, along with others, from a former seabed in Quebec’s Nuvvuagittuq Supracrustal Belt (NSB) in 2008. The canhces of finding ancient fossils are excellent here – the NSB was once near a system of hydrothermal vents heated by magma. Besides panspermia and biblical creationism, hydrothhemal vests are thought to be places where heat and chemicals could react to form life that might live on metals and elements on the sea floor.
“One thing that I think is amazing is the sheer size of the tectonic branching structure, which is several millimetres, if not more than a centimetre in size.”
While he found the rock in 2008, this is the first time Papineau was able to use modern techniques to study what is inside them. His team sliced it with a diamond-encrusted saw, creating sections as thin as 100 microns -- about the thickness of paper but double the thickness of previous cuts. This allowed a computer to create a 3D model showing larger structures inside the rock. Papineau told The Guardian he could see tiny filaments, knobs and tubes of an iron oxide called haematite that today are made by bacteria living around hydrothermal vents that survive on iron-based chemical reactions. However, this structure resembling a stem with branches filled with distorted spheres appeared to be more than a single life form.
“I think what we are seeing is a microbial community – that they were working in concert and as the filaments grew from groups of these cells, they got intermingled and made a bigger, thicker haematite filament.”
Taken together with the mineralized chemical byproducts in the rock, Papineau and his colleagues are convinced these are microbial life forms that existed 4.25 billion years ago -- just 300 million years after Earth was formed. And yes, this is a game-changing discovery.
“Pushing the clock back is very important, because it tells us that it takes a very short time for life to emerge on a planetary surface. Very quickly after [Earth formed] there was microbial life taking place, eating iron and sulphur in these hydrothermal vents.”
All it took was one ...
While it adds to Earth’s history, what Papineau is more excited about is that this means the search for alien life forms can be extended to extremely young exoplanets. Of course, this assumes the age and origin of his fossils is confirmed by other scientists, and some think it could just be a chemical metamorphism caused by the magma heat released from the hydrothermal vents.
So, this discovery of a potentially 4.25-billion-year-old fossil may not have changed everything yet, but it’s already affecting a lot of exciting things.

Strange Military Encounters with Enormous UFO Motherships at Sea with Physical Effects
Strange Military Encounters with Enormous UFO Motherships at Sea with Physical Effects
Brent Swancer
Among the many, many UFO reports floating around out there, some of the more amazing are those that have been witnessed by trained military personnel. Even weirder still is when such unidentified objects are of incredible dimensions and seem to have physical effects on the witnesses. Out over the vast expanses of oceans of our world there have been numerous encounters with something very large and very strange, and which have served to cause physical effects on the ones who have seen them.
In the November 1981 issue of the Flying Saucer Review there is a curious case that was sent in a letter directly to the magazine by a witness who claims that she had had a very odd and terrifying experience out over the ocean with a massive, cigar-shaped unidentified object. The unnamed witness claims that at the time she had been working for NATO as an English language secretary based in Paris, and was aboard an Air Canada DC-8 aircraft on a military sanctioned mission with a party of fifty NATO personnel who were en route From Paris to Canada for the NATO Ministerial Meetings in Ottawa. At the time, the plane was deep over the Atlantic Ocean and the witness was in a window seat looking out enjoying the view of sky when something very strange and very large caught her attention. She describes it this way:
I was just reaching down to take a book from my hold-all, and was astonished to glimpse below the ‘plane something dark and absolutely tremendous that stood out in vivid contrast to the brightness all around. I could not believe my eyes. I pressed close to the window in unbelief and there, almost beneath the DC-8, was a gigantic dark grey ‘torpedo’. It seemed menacing and frightening, and I had the impression that it was stationary. It was utterly unlike anything that I had ever seen in my whole life. It looked as though made of steel. No portholes or windows were visible. No wings or projections. Nothing but the long perfect torpedo form, with its bullet-shaped head, and the rear end which was cut off sharply and squarely. The monster – and I emphasize that it was this terrifying size that impressed me – was well below us. I thought maybe 2,000 meters or so below us, but of course I had no way of being able to gauge this or to estimate the size of the thing. I looked down again quickly at the monster, and saw that a swathe of tiny clouds was beginning to pass over it, though it remained visible through them for a few seconds before being lost to my sight.
The sighting greatly disturbed the witness, but when she looked around the other passengers on the mostly empty flight were either asleep or lost in their books or thoughts, so it did not seem as if anyone else had seen that behemoth in the sky. At the time, she decided not to mention it, afraid that no one would believe her and that she would be ridiculed. The witness at the time had no real knowledge of the UFO phenomenon, and was rather confused and frustrated, but years later she would read several books on the subject that convinced her that she was not crazy. She would also begin to link what she had seen with a more frightening aspect of her experience that had happened after she had seen the object. She says of this:
After my glimpse of the monster ‘torpedo,’ I sat there brooding on it for half an hour or so, as I recall, when suddenly the DC- 8 started to shudder and pitch up and down violently, nosing steeply upwards, then steeply downwards, and this went on for a long, long time. I might explain that I had often encountered turbulence and ‘air-pockets’ when travelling by airplane, but it had never been anything remotely like this. This was as though we were in a gigantic lift that was shooting up and down madly. And, as though that was not enough, there now came a succession of reports like cannon-fire or thunder, filling the cabin.
Meanwhile the plane continued to shudder and ‘buck’ violently, and each time it came down I had the sensation that it was going to break in half. Throughout all this, everybody in the passenger’s cabin sat there petrified, absolutely silent, white-faced. After a while of this, I felt such panic that I rushed up front in search of a stewardess, and shouting “What’s going on? I’m scared!” I lifted a curtain in front of what seemed to be a sleeping-berth, and found a stewardess lying on the bed there, her hands covering her eyes as though she were weeping. She gave no response to my shouts, and all around there was total silence still, apart from the sound of the engines, overlaid by the repeated ‘claps of thunder’ and the continued bucking up and down of the plane.
I went back to my seat, and suddenly found myself bathed in perspiration. Every pore in my body seemed to be hard at work. And yet I noticed that the light dress I was wearing was still completely dry. A second time, I ran forward to the stewardesses’ quarters but there was nobody there. I hammered on the door leading to the cockpit, and shouted again, asking what was happening, as I was scared to death. The other stewardess came out and looked at me as though I were an idiot, and for a while said nothing. Then, calmly, she announced ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, do not be alarmed: the cabin is being depressurized.’ Shortly afterwards, the Captain was heard to make the same announcement.
Although at the time she had not put the two events together, upon learning more about UFOs she said that she was fairly convinced that they were intimately connected. Additionally, she expresses suspicion that the crew may have even been trying to cover something up about the incident. She explains:
I should like very much to know whether all that I have just described, about the violent behavior of the aircraft and the loud reports, is explicable as being due to the process of ‘depressurization’ and, if so, what are the circumstances that are likely to have made it necessary for such alarming and drastic steps to be taken? Is this sort of thing usual and normal – as the calm behaviour of the second-mentioned stewardess seemed to indicate? And why, in that case, had the other stewardess – as it seemed – been weeping? Was this simply because she, like all the rest of us, found the turbulence just a bit too alarming? ‘Or is it possible that she was still suffering from shock after seeing the gigantic ‘torpedo’? It certainly would be interesting to know the answers to these questions.
As for the plane’s crew, there was only the one stewardess who seemed upset. What is certain is that the pilots up in the nacelle certainly would have had abundant time in which to see the ‘cigar,’ as it cut slightly diagonally across their route from their port side and well below them. No explanation or comment whatsoever about the ‘cigar’ was given by the Captain or any other crew member, and no statement was made by the authorities when we landed in Canada. We were flying under NATO auspices and in that sense we were under military control. In such circumstances it would not be surprising if the cockpit crew and the stewardesses were less forthcoming about a UFO than perhaps they might have been, were it an ordinary passenger flight.
What was going on here? Another case involving a similarly enormous craft that had physical effects on a military vessel allegedly occurred on July 2, 1971, rather fittingly in the Bermuda Triangle, southeast of Florida. On this day, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, USS John F. Kennedy CVA-67 was returning to Norfolk, Virginia after completing a two-week operational readiness exercise in the Caribbean, where they were to take some leave time before heading off for duty in the Mediterranean for six months. This main witness in this account, who reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center, was at the time assigned to the communications center monitoring teletypes printing the Fleet Broadcasts. On this evening at around 8:30 p.m., his equipment suddenly began going haywire, after which he soon learned that all communications on the ship were malfunctioning. Soon after this, there was someone shouting that something was hovering over the ship, and when he went up with some other personnel they saw something their training had never prepared them for. The witness would say:
As we looked up, we saw a large, glowing sphere. Well, it seemed large, however, there was no point of reference. That is to say if the sphere were low; say 100 feet above the ship, then it would have been about two to three hundred feet in diameter. If it said 500 feet about the ship then it would have been larger. At arm’s length it was the size of a beach ball. It made no sound that I could hear. The light coming from it wasn’t too bright, about half of what the sun would be. It pulsated from yellow to orange slowly. We didn’t get to look at for more than about 20 seconds because General Quarters (Battle stations) was sounding and the Communication Officer was in the passageway telling us to get back into the Comm Center. We returned and stayed there (that was out battle station). We didn’t have much to do because all the communication was still out.
After about 20 minutes, the teletypes started printing correctly again. We stayed at General Quarters for about another hour, then secured. I didn’t see or hear of any messages going out about the incident. Over the next few hours, I talked to a good friend that was in CIC (combat information center) who was a radar operator. He told me that all the radar screens were just glowing during the time of the incident. I also talked to a guy I knew that worked on the Navigational Bridge. He told me that none of the compasses were working and that the medics had to sedate a boatswain’s mate that was a lookout on the signal bridge. I figured this was the one yelling it was God. It was ironic that of the 5,000 men on a carrier, that only a handful actually saw this phenomenon. This was due to the fact that flight Ops had just be completed a short time before this all started and all the flight deck personnel were below resting. It should be noted that there are very few places where you can go to be out in the open air aboard a carrier.
He would soon after learn that not only the communications equipment, but many other pieces of equipment onboard, including even aircraft had ceased to function when the mysterious object had been looming there. Even more ominously, it would also seem that there were “men in trench coats” soon aboard interviewing witnesses on what they had seen and that there was an air of secrecy about the whole thing. The witness would explain of all of this:
From what I could learn, virtually all electronic components stopped functioning during the 20 minutes or so that whatever it hovered over the ship. The two Ready CAPs (Combat Air Patrol), which were two F-4 Phantoms that are always ready to be launched, would not start. I heard from the scuttlebutt (slang – rumor mill) that three or four “men in trenchcoats” had landed, and were interviewing the personnel that had seen this phenomenon. I was never interviewed, maybe because no one knew that I had seen it. A few days later, as we were approaching Norfolk, the Commanding and Executive Officers came on the closed-circuit TV system that we had. They did this regularly to address the crew and pass on information. During this particular session, the Captain told us how well we did on the ORE and about our upcoming deployment to the Mediterranean. At the very end of his spiel, he said “I would like to remind the crew, that certain events that take place aboard a Naval Combatant Ship, are classified and are not to be discussed with anyone without a need to know”. This was all the official word I ever received or heard of the incident.
An account that involves an even more gargantuan craft purportedly occurred on October 24, 1989, with a report made by a sailor aboard the Naval submarine USS Memphis (SSN-698), operating out of Cape Canaveral, Florida. At the time they were on Special Assignments protecting the Space Program, on patrol about 150 miles of the Florida coast when the submarine began experiencing a deluge of technical problems. Numerous electronics systems were going haywire, communications were totally shut down, tanks were blowing out of control, navigation ability was lost, and even the controls in the reactor were on the fritz. It was a very dangerous situation, and so they surfaced and went to diesel engines. The witness says of what happened next:
It was raining and the entire sky was red like a red neon sign. I saw a large inverted V-shaped UFO off the port side. The executive officer told me to stand fast and he would speak to the captain. In a minute, the captain appeared on the tower and asked me for a distance to the craft. The laser range finder determined the closest point was 200 meters, and the farthest point was 1,000 meters off the port. The UFO was not perpendicular to our ship but at about a 45′ angle.
This huge vessel was over a half-mile across. The UFO made a half-circle around our ship then passed across the stern causing our electronics systems to go crazy. We had permanent damage in communications and the sonar room. As the craft flew over the stern, I could see the rain stop under its red glow. The water seemed to rise almost afoot as the UFO passed over silently. When the UFO finished its swing across the stern it paused – the sky got brighter red and it simply moved off at tremendous speed inside 15 seconds. When the UFO left, our boat returned to normal with the exception of the radio and sonar. We did a quick system check and the captain ordered us to return to reactor power and get underway.
He then explains that after they reached port they were pulled aside by their superiors and put into what he calls “protective custody.” The atmosphere was apparently very intense, and they proceeded to be told the “official story” and that they should not talk about what they had seen.The witness would say of this:
We reached port in about 7 hours where I was taken into “protective custody.” Two enlisted men and I agreed we had witnessed a real UFO. I was the one who shot it with a laser range finder, so I was the only one that had its exact sizes. I shot that vessel as it hovered and I got solid readings, not spotty like I would on debris. We were in holding for about three hours when an officer from the Air Force arrived and gave us a line of bull about an exploding weather satellite. The Navy then transferred virtually everyone on the crew to new assignments. This included the captain, the executive officer and the entire crew. They were split up which almost never happens unless one of them gets a promotion or a new command, neither of which happened.
It seems to be a pattern that such incidents are swept under the carpet, only adding to the eerie vibe of such cases. What was going on in any of these cases? Are there these massive craft roaming about over the oceans of our world? What are they trying to say with these physicsl effects they have put forth? It is hard to say, and these remain a very curious corner of the UFO phenomenon indeed.
Among the many types of UFO encounters on record, some of the most compelling and believable are those that have happened out near military airbases. Here we often have very reliable and trained witnesses who have very little reason to lie, and who generally seem to come away from such events fully stumped as to what has gone on, with no immediate rational explanation. Such reports are mostly known from the United States and Europe, but they go on in various far-flung places, and one region with its share of spooky air base UFO encounters is the island nation of Japan.
Sitting out at a place called Chitose, on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, is Chitose Air Base, a Japan Air Self-Defense Force base and an integral base for monitoring Japan’s maritime borders with Russia. Back in 1947, the United States Armed Forces had taken over the base in the wake of World War II, and it was primarily under the control of the United States Army Air Forces, and later the United States Air Force Fifth Air Force. From July 1, 1947 to September 16, 1947, it was also the center of a very strange flap of UFO phenomena that has never been explained.
On July 1, 1947, a strange radar target was picked up 16 miles north of the base on a course of 180 degrees, moving at 500 m.p.h at an altitude of approximately 9,000 feet. The target sharply reversed course to 360 degrees and was tracked out to a range of 28 miles, before abruptly changing course again to 240 degrees, then reversing and returning to its original position before fading out of range. During the duration of the incident, the object seemed to not only defy known physics and technology at the time, but also break into two smaller objects, before merging back together again. A portion of the official report reads:
In the case of the pick-up on 1 July 1947 it was indicated as being more than one object. The size was comparable to that of the response received from four P-51 type aircraft. When this target initially reversed course at point A’ it broke up into two responses and then again merged into one large response on its outbound course.
There could be found no origin for the mystery object and no known aircraft were supposed to be operating in the area at the time. Two more radar contacts of this nature were picked up on August 29 and September 16 of that year, with the September incident showing something moving at supersonic speeds and showing maneuverability far beyond what was known at the time. The official report would conclude on this:
The speed indicated in the last report seems unreasonable for piloted aircraft since it was well into the supersonic range. The target, if an aircraft, would require an extremely large fuel supply for this speed. If rocket propelled, it is hard to visualize its operation for a long enough period of time to enable it to return to its base. The cable report of this last sighting indicated that further details, including weather, would follow. Upon receipt of this information a better evaluation may be possible. Present information does not permit a definite evaluation that all objects reported were either aircraft or airborne missiles but does support the conclusion that they were not natural phenomena. Great stress was given by the reporting agency to the high degree of proficiency of the radar operators and controllers in each case. An operator of even moderate proficiency would have no trouble in differentiating between a target and weather phenomena. Frontal activity as seen on a radar screen would show depth while the reflection from a meteor exists for such a short period of time that it would probably not be distinguishable from static interference. Therefore, it appears that the incidents are not due to natural phenomena.
What was going on here? In 1952 there was a strange incident at Haneda U.S. Air Force Base, near Tokyo, where on August 5 of that year two Air Force control tower operators at the base noticed a brilliant light in the sky. This object approached the base and clearly hovered near the control tower, and it was noticed that behind the light, there was a dark circular shape four times the light’s diameter. This unidentified object apparently flitted around and did a variety of aerial maneuvers, all while being tracked both visually and by ground radar. The base was alarmed, and an F-94 interceptor was scrambled with pilot 1st Lieutenant W.R. Holder, who was unable to successfully lock onto the mysterious object as he chased it. A report on the incident would read:
The UFO was given chase by the F-94, tracked on ground radar also, and went into a series of circular maneuvers, repeated several times. At one point, the UFO suddenly raced away at a clocked speed of 300 knots (about 345 mph), dividing into three separate radar targets at spaced intervals. Contact with the UFO either by radar or visually from Haneda AFB, was maintained for over 30 minutes. During this period, scattered witnesses saw the UFO exactly where radar showed it to be. The UFO maneuvers were so clearly under intelligent control that Major Dewey Fournet, the representative of Project Blue Book at the Pentagon, elected it one of the example that would prove that UFOs are spaceships from some other planet.
The whole thing would be brushed under the carpet, the official explanation being that it had been “a light that looked like a star and false radar echoes caused by a temperature inversion layer.” The UFO study called the Condon Report, of the University of Colorado would come to the same conclusion, but some ufologists disagree, with researcher Patrick Gross stating:
This is one of the cases that the Colorado Project has considered “explained” – a star and an anomalous radar propagation. Not so. On the contrary, as a careful study of the records shows, it is a very interesting case of anomalous flying objects in the sky who fly under intelligent control and cannot be of human origin. The Colorado Project, a skeptical UFO study effort conducted for the USAF that did not want to deal with the UFO problem anymore, minimized the details of the sighting. Every little detail of the case is important. Actually, it is by forgetting and minimizing case details that this case has been turned into an “explained” case by the Colorado Project which lead to the Condon Report. Professor James McDonald, a world famous specialist of meteorology and atmospheric physics, who disagreed with the handling of UFO cases by the Condon Report, re-evaluated and re-investigated the case and demonstrated how erroneous the Condon Report conclusion on this case – and on many other cases – was. I deeply encourage the seriously interested person into reading all the documents listed above.
Who knows what was going on there. Moving ahead to 1963, we have a case from Naha Air Base, in Okinawa, Japan, with a report filed from a base personnel to NICAP. The witness, named Marty, says that he was skywatching with a partner called Frank at around 11:40 p.m. on June 26 of that year when they saw something up there in the sky that they could not explain. The witness would say of it:
It looked like nothing we had ever seen before. I positioned my binoculars for a better look. We did not use the term “UFO” at that point, but we knew the craft we saw did not match anything in the Air Force’s aircraft inventory. We saw a large, slow-moving disk traveling in a steady northerly direction–right smack over our base. We did not see the usual flashing navigation lights or red and green wing-tip lights. All pilots who fly at night must have their aircraft’s navigation lights turned on. It was not just an unusual cloud formation, flares or a weather balloon. In the Air Force, working as communications specialists at control towers and around busy flight lines, Frank and I became knowledgeable about most types of aircraft in the military inventory. It traveled at an estimated speed of one hundred knots. The craft held a steady altitude of three or four thousand feet. It had a diameter of about seventy-five feet. We saw no antennae, dome, windows or markings. It was silent and produced no engine noise. Having a disk shape, it looked as flat as a quarter. The craft’s outer surface appeared smooth, constructed of a dull, yet reflective metallic material. Its outer edges appeared razor thin.
At first they were afraid it was preparing to engage them, they decided to get out of there, but luckily it was moving away from them and they relaxed somewhat. They then climbed the building’s fire ladder to watch the strange object, which they did until it faded out of sight. They then were in confusion about what to do about what they had just seen, and when they called it in they were told that there had been no radar contacts to corroborate it. Marty began watching the skies hoping to see the object again, and after several weeks of searching in vain he was successful. He says of this:
For weeks, I spent my free time watching the night sky and hoping for another sighting. I even bought a Nikon 8mm camera. I carried it with me wherever I went—just in case. My hopes of seeing it again began to fade after several weeks. However, just as I started to think the earlier sighting was just a onetime fly-by, I saw it again. Returning to my barracks from a second shift tour at the Communications Center, I decided to relax for a while. I sat in a chair on the second floor outside landing. Propping my feet up onto a railing, I began reminiscing about the first sighting. Since I was alone, the thought scared the hell out of me. Just before 1:00 a.m. I was about to call it a night when it reappeared. A craft similar to the type Frank and I saw one month earlier. In an instant, my mind switched from a relaxed state to one of “fight or flight.” My body froze and my adrenaline level skyrocketed. My hair hackled. My heart raced. I could not move my legs. My camera—I left it in my room. In my mind, I calculated the best course of action. There I was, sitting alone in the dark outside my barracks with no one else around, except–what? Common sense soon prevailed. No light beams were shooting down at me from the craft. It became clear that it took no notice of me and was moving northward away from my position. Thank God. After a few seconds, my brain regained control of my body and I was able to move my legs. I stood and took the next logical step, I ran like hell.
Once again, no radar contacts were reported. The witness was requested to fill out an Unidentified Aircraft Report and he declined, wary of being seen as crazy. That seems to have been the end of it, and we will probably never know just what really went on out there. Indeed, all of these cases remain unsolved and mostly forgotten, but they are certainly bizarre examples of these sorts of reports going on all over the world.
Scientists widely suspect that the moon was formed through the dramatic collision between Earth and a Mars-sized planet billions of years ago.
But, little is known about what the young moon may have looked like.
A new model of the early lunar atmosphere now reveals the vastly different conditions that may have existed across the surface, as part of the atmosphere vaporized, and supersonic winds gave rise to magma ocean waves.

Scientists widely suspect that the moon was formed through the dramatic collision between Earth and a Mars-sized planet billions of years ago (illustrated above). But, little is known about what the young moon may have looked like
THE IMPACT THEORY
Many researchers believe the moon formed after Earth was hit by a planet the size of Mars billions of years ago.
This is called the giant impact hypothesis.
The hypothesis claims the moon is debris left over following an indirect collision between our planet and an astronomical body approximately 4.5 billion years ago.
The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, after the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon.
According to the researchers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the new work represents the first quantitative model of the moon’s atmosphere during this period of its life.
In their model, the moon is covered by a thick magma ocean.
And, after it was born, the researchers say the moon’s surface was pummeled by radiation from the early Sun, as well as the post-impact Earth.
During this time, Earth ‘radiated like a mid-type M dwarf star,’ the researchers explain in the study, published to arXiv.
At the same time, the moon’s global magma ocean had also begun to cool.
From one side of the moon to the other, the model reveals how different the conditions may have been.
The young moon likely got its atmosphere as a result of vaporized volatile atoms, such as sodium.
But, this atmosphere was likely very different on the opposite sides of the moon.
On the side nearest to Earth, much of the atmosphere likely vaporized due to the radiating planet.
And, the temperature differences would have created powerful winds that whipped up waves in the thick magma ocean.
‘This atmosphere persisted through lid formation and was additionally characterized by supersonic winds that transported significant quantities of moderate volatiles and likely generated magma ocean waves,’ the authors wrote.
‘The existence of this atmosphere may have influenced the distribution of some moderate volatiles and created temperature asymmetries which influenced ocean flow and cooling.
According to the researchers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the new work represents the first quantitative model of the moon’s atmosphere during this period of its life
‘Such asymmetries may characterize young, tidally locked rocky bodies with global magma oceans and subject to intense irradiation.’
As the moon cooled, the model suggests rocks pushed up to the surface until they eventually formed a crust.
Over time, vaporizing caused by the ocean came to a halt, and the atmosphere disappeared.
And eventually, the ocean solidified.
The researchers say these processes would have left behind certain traces, including higher concentrations of sodium in the rocks found in the boundary between the two sides of the moon.
Not only could these rocks add new clues on the moon’s formation, and help to confirm the models, but it could also shed light on the atmospheres of distant worlds.
‘it appears likely that such an atmosphere may have transported and lost sodium and other moderate volatiles at significant enough rates to potentially produce heterogenities and depletion in the abundance of such elements,’ the authors explain.
‘Evidence of such heterogeneities and depletion may help to constrain details regarding the formation process of the Moon.
‘Such an atmosphere may also be a cousin to atmospheres expected on some of the most close-in and heated rocky exoplanets.’
One Giant Impact Made the Two Halves of the Moon so Different
One Giant Impact Made the Two Halves of the Moon so Different
The South Pole-Aitken Basin on the Moon formed from a gigantic impact about 4.3 billion years ago. But that impact may have changed everything about the Moon, and explain why the lunar farside looks so different from the nearside, the side we see from Earth.
“We know that big impacts like the one that formed SPA [South Pole-Aitken] would create a lot of heat,” said Matt Jones, a Ph.D. candidate at Brown University and lead author of a new study published in Science Advances. “The question is how that heat affects the Moon’s interior dynamics. What we show is that under any plausible conditions at the time that SPA formed, it ends up concentrating these heat-producing elements on the nearside. We expect that this contributed to the mantle melting that produced the lava flows we see on the surface.”
The side of the Moon that always faces towards Earth looks far different from the one that is hidden from us on the far side. The nearside is dominated by the lunar mare — the vast, dark-colored remnants of ancient lava flows on the mantle. The far side, on the other hand, is scarred with craters, with virtually no large-scale mare features. Why the two sides are so different has been one of the Moon’s most enduring mysteries.

In this new research, Jones and colleagues’ research helps confirm earlier studies that show how important the impact that formed the giant South Pole–Aitken basin was to the Moon’s formation history.
The South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin is the largest and oldest recognized impact basin on the Moon. It’s diameter is roughly 2,500 km or 1,550 miles. The moon’s circumference is just under 11,000 km, meaning the basin stretches across nearly a quarter of the Moon.
Jones says this massive impact would have created a massive plume of heat that propagated through the lunar interior. The researchers argue that this plume would have carried certain materials — a suite of rare-Earth and heat-producing elements — to the Moon’s nearside. That concentration of elements would have contributed to the volcanism that created the nearside volcanic plains.
Distribution of thorium on the lunar surface from the Lunar Prospector mission. Thorium is highly correlated with other radioactive elements (heat producing), with most of it being present on the Earth-facing side (near side). The relationship between this region and many observed features of lunar history is a key question in lunar sciences. This image is from previous research by Laneuville, M. et al (2013) Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
The near side contains a region called the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT). That region contains a large amount of specific elements. KREEP stands for K (the atomic symbol for potassium), REE (rare-earth elements) and P (the atomic symbol for phosphorus). The KREEP terrane also contains the elements thorium and uranium, which decay radioactively and produce heat.
This heat would have allowed that part of the Moon to remain volcanic long after the rest of the Moon had cooled.
For the study, the researchers conducted computer simulations of how heat generated by a giant impact would alter patterns of convection in the Moon’s interior, and how that might redistribute KREEP material in the lunar mantle. KREEP is thought to represent the last part of the mantle to solidify after the Moon’s formation, and so would be part of the Moon’s mantle, the outermost layer.
Unlike previous models of the lunar interior, of mantle, Jones’ and his team saw in their model that any uniform distribution of the lunar crust would have been disrupted by the heat plume from the SPA impact.

Also, the KREEP material would have “ridden the wave of heat emanating from the SPA impact zone like a surfer.” As the heat plume spread beneath the Moon’s crust, the team said, that material was eventually delivered to the nearside. The team’s simulations showed that the South Pole-Aitken impact provided the best location and subsequent pattern of creating KREEP concentrations on the nearside, consistent with the known PKT anomaly.
“How the PKT formed is arguably the most significant open question in lunar science,” Jones said. “And the South Pole–Aitken impact is one of the most significant events in lunar history. This work brings those two things together, and I think our results are really exciting.”
The study was a collaboration between Jones and his advisor Alexander Evans, an assistant professor at Brown, along with researchers from Purdue University, the Lunar and Planetary Science Laboratory in Arizona, Stanford University and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
When I was looking through a NASA Mars photo index, I found something thats a bit odd. I found something that closely resembles the ancient brass computer called the Antikythera Mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient Greek hand-powered orrery, said to be the oldest example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. This discovery on Mars has many similarities to it. If the people on Mars had such mechanisms, its proof that they were highly up in their evolution at the time that the Mars surface was destroyed. NASA suggested that the surface of Mars once had oceans and atmosphere, but was swept away by an enormous explosion from our sun. But this computer is 100% proof of intelligent species on Mars.

UFO Disguised As Meteor Passes Over France, April 12, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:April 12, 2022 Location of sighting: France
Watch this amazing video of a UFO disguised as a meteor. However the object is clearly an alien ship. Notice the contained marquee shape it has. The shape doesn't have pieces falling off behind it, but only has a long trail. Aliens pride themselves on being smarter than anyone around them, and they especially want to appear smarter than an inferior species like us humans. But his is an old trick, one that I have come to expect. They want to outwit us, they want to outsmart us at every corner. It's up to us, to analyze the videos more deeply and completely to find any inaccuracies in them. This video...reveals to us an alien craft.

I know these two videos are old, but I have never put them together in a video before so that people can compare and contrast them. Here we can see both entities in both videos are the same. The second video is the most interesting to me, due to the fact it was seconds after a major eruption at the volcano in the background, compounded by the fact its just 7 minutes after midnight...the legendary witching hour...which might be based on sightings of these alien entities, which could easily be mistaken for spirits, ghosts, demons, angels. These are alien entities who have the power to leave their bodies behind and travel in pure energy form. They are rare, and usually avoid human contact, but they have a high curiosity of anything new to them, just as we do, so...if you encounter some, they may stick around a bit to watch you too. 100% proof of energy entities existing at Popocateptl volcano.
