Sparkling Orange UFO Ball over Albuquerque, NM 2022
Sparkling Orange UFO Ball over Albuquerque, NM 2022
Check out this interesting UFO sighting video filmed over Albuquerque, Mexico on 31st July 2022.
Let me know your opinion about this footage in the comments!
Witness report:
Driving north in our car, came to intersection & stopped at stop sign. Time was twilight. Noticed a low flying orange ball of light that appeared to be *sparkling”. Light was neither ascending or descending. Seemed to be above treeline, but not as high as a helicopter or small plane. Normal aviation lights were not present. Object was traveling at a constant, slow speed. Turned north about a minute after we viewed it, then disappeared ahead of us.
The stellar smash produced a short gamma-ray burst that could provide important context for understanding similar blasts.

A distant neutron-star merger unleashed one of the most powerful short gamma-ray bursts (GRB) ever seen, according to new observations by ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile.
Neutron stars are the super-dense stellar cores left after massive stars explode, and when, say, two neutron stars collide, the result is a dramatic explosion, the light of which is referred to as a kilonova. The mergers also release gravitational waves and a brief blast of gamma-ray radiation in two tight jets shooting opposite directions into space.
On Nov. 6 2021, a short gamma-ray burst was detected by the European Space Agency's INTEGRAL X-ray and gamma-ray observatory, which sent out an instant alert that triggered NASA's Swift satellite, among others, to follow up. The burst, cataloged as GRB 211106A, lasted less than two seconds, but the afterglow from the kilonova shone for far longer as the jet of particles released by the merger excited the surrounding gas.
"This short gamma-ray burst was the first time we tried to observe such an event with ALMA," Wen-Fai Fong, an astronomer at Northwestern University in Illinois, said in a statement. "Afterglows for short bursts are very difficult to come by, so it was spectacular to catch this shining so brightly."

Detecting the afterglow from the merger in the millimeter-wavelength light that ALMA is tuned to gives astronomers an advantage when it comes to understanding these titanic explosions.
"Millimeter wavelengths can tell us about the density of the environment around the GRB," Genevieve Schroeder, also of Northwestern University, said in the same statement. "And, when combined with the X-rays, [the millimeter-wave light] can tell us about the true energy of the explosion."
As the GRB's jets, which move at nearly the speed of light, smash through the surrounding gas, the shockwaves accelerate electrons. The energy of the radiation from those electrons peaks at millimeter wavelengths, and therefore can tell astronomers about the total energy of the explosion.
ALMA's measurements suggest that GRB 211106A released a total energy between 2 x 10^50 ergs and 6 x 10^51 ergs, which places it among the most powerful short GRBs ever detected. (One erg is equal to 10^–7 joules; for comparison, the sun releases just 3.8 x 10^33 ergs per second.)

It's particularly impressive that GRB 211106A was so bright, relatively speaking, since the merger happened sometime between 6.3 and 9.1 billion years ago, and the galaxy in which the merger took place is now approximately 20 billion light-years from Earth due to cosmic expansion. At this distance, the gravitational waves released by the merger were too feeble to detect.
Another advantage to come from observing with ALMA is that the afterglow at millimeter wavelengths lasts longer than in, say, X-rays. This gives astronomers more time to study the GRB jet, which begins as a narrow stream, then gradually opens out, like a laser pointer that makes a larger spot on a wall than the laser's base.
Fong and Schroeder's team calculated the opening angle of the jet to be 16 degrees, which is the widest ever measured for a short GRB. This is important because we only see a GRB when the jet is pointed toward us, so the wider the jet, the higher chance we have of seeing it.
And the odds matter: Astronomers calculate the rate of neutron-star mergers in the universe based on how many short GRBs we see and estimates of their jet's opening angles. If more short GRBs have jets with wider opening angles, scientists may have overestimated how many neutron-star mergers are taking place.
The rate at which neutron stars merge isn't just an astrophysical curiosity — it has repercussions for cosmic chemistry. The conditions during neutron-star mergers are so intense that some of the universe's heaviest and most precious elements, such as gold, platinum and silver, are forged by these collisions. Indeed, scientists have estimated that a single neutron-star merger can produce between 3 and 13 Earth masses worth of gold. Hence the cosmic abundance of such elements is heavily dependent upon the rate at which neutron-star mergers take place.
While the collision is an act of cosmic alchemy, enriching the surrounding region with atomic treasure, the discovery has offered astronomers a whole new arena for studying short GRBs and their afterglows. "After a decade of observing short GRBs, it is truly amazing to witness the power of using these new technologies to unwrap surprise gifts from the universe," Fong said.
A paper describing the findings is set to be published in a forthcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters; a preprint version was posted on Monday (Aug. 1).

The aging vehicle can still have a big role in answering whether there has ever been life on Mars.

The stars have not been aligned for Europe's first Martian rover ExoMars, but scientists still think the aging vehicle can play a big role in answering one of the biggest questions in Mars exploration: has there ever been life on the Red Planet?
The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Rover is probably the most high-profile space industry casualty of Russia's war in Ukraine. Originally expected to launch in 2018, the rover was finally declared ready to go (after several delays) for a launch in September this year atop Russia's Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. But Russia's invasion of Ukraine put a stop to these plans.
ESA officially terminated cooperation on the ExoMars mission with Russia in July, leaving the rover, conceived in 2004, once again in limbo, and more importantly, without a landing platform to place it on the surface of Mars. (That landing platform was built by Russia, who joined the ExoMars program in 2012 following the withdrawal of the original partner, NASA, in 2012.)
ESA has yet to decide on the mission's fate. Having spent $1.3 billion on the program already, it will have to choose between scrapping the rover altogether or forking out another substantial sum to replace the Russian bits.
In the case of the latter option, the most optimistic estimates see the ExoMars rover leaving Earth in 2028. For many European scientists, scrapping the mission should not be an option at all, and not just because of the investment. Even though NASA's Perseverance has been smashing its sample collection targets, and plans for a mission that would bring those samples to Earth are already underway, there is a lot the aging ExoMars rover can contribute to our understanding of Mars, they say. And some of those questions, in fact, cannot be answered by the stellar Perseverance.
"[The rover's instruments] are going to get a bit old," John Bridges, a professor of planetary science at Leicester University in the U.K., told Space.com. "But as long as the maintenance can be done, it doesn't actually bother me too much that we're not using the most cutting-edge technology. Even if we're going by bicycle rather than by the newest car, it doesn't really matter, as long as we get there."
The promise of the drill
The biggest strength, and scientific promise, of the Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover is its 6.6-foot (2 meters) drill, which, according to some astrobiologists, may have a higher chance of finding traces of past or present Martian life on Mars than the agile Perseverance.
"The rock pieces that Perseverance collects are from the immediate surface [of Mars]," Susanne Schwenzer, an astrobiologist at Open University in the U.K., who is also an interdisciplinary scientist on the ExoMars mission and a member of the science teams of NASA's Curiosity and the Mars Sample Return missions, told Space.com. "And this immediate surface is bombarded by galactic cosmic rays, and the UV rays [from the sun], which destroy organic materials."

Unlike Earth, Mars has no protective magnetic field and a very thin atmosphere, so there is nothing to filter this sterilizing radiation, some of which can penetrate several meters deep into the Martian rocks.
"[The effects of the radiation] diminish exponentially, so the first centimeters [inches] are the worst hit," Schwenzer said.
That doesn't mean that Perseverance cannot find traces of life, just that detecting the organic molecules in the burnt surface layers might require a more challenging scientific analysis, Schwenzer added.
"The advantage of the return samples is that we will have them in our labs over here," Schwenzer said. "If we find something that we can't answer with the instruments that we have, we can wait for the right technology to be developed. It took until the late 1990s to find water in the Apollo samples because they didn't have the right instrumentation at that time."
The deep excavations that the ExoMars rover was built for can, in fact, help scientists understand Perseverance's rocks and the alteration they underwent due to the bombardment by radiation.
"[The ExoMars rover] will help us understand how the organics degrade with depth or do not degrade and are preserved at deeper layers," Schwenzer said.
Europe's wrong turn
Bridges agrees with Schwenzer. But there are other reasons why continuing with ExoMars should be the only option on the table, he thinks. A generation of European scientists has tied their careers with the mission, which may have always been a bit of a moonshot for Europe, ever since its inception in 2004.
"When we started ExoMars in 2004, it was way off the capabilities [of ESA and the European space industry] to do it," Bridges said. "So we got the Americans in to land it and when the Americans pulled out, ESA just looked around, and the Russians put up their hand, and it was done."
Bridges describes the partnership with Russia, hastily put together by ESA leadership under General Director Jean-Jacques Dordain in 2012, as "a strategic mistake."
"I think we should have hit the pause button back then and have a harder discussion across the European communities about what we were going to do," he said.
At that time, the onset of the conflict in Ukraine was still two years away, but Russia was already guilty of stirring a bloody war in Georgia(opens in new tab); its actions in the Caucasian country were overwhelmingly overlooked by the international community at that time.
"There's frustration and disappointment, because so much work has gone into ExoMars," Bridges said. "The instruments, the science teams. But we should probably still stick with it and try and recoup all that scientific investment, not just throw up our hands in disappointment and walk away from it.

The call to confirm life on Mars
Schwenzer adds that to provide the ultimate answer to the big question, whether there has ever been life on Mars, scientists would want to review as much data as possible.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," Schwenzer said, quoting famous astrobiologist Carl Sagan. "We can't just find one molecule that is usually produced by life on Earth and claim that we have found life on Mars. We can't make that claim unless we can absolutely exclude that anything else could have made that molecule. And in order to do that, we would need all the information that we can get, not just that from one mission."
ExoMars' projected landing site in Oxia Planum, an ancient clay-rich basin near Mars' northern tropic, was carefully selected by a pan-European scientific consortium as it offers the best conditions to harbor traces of life.
Formed about 4 billion years ago, the basin, covered with fine-grained sediments, has a catchment area of thousands of miles, Bridges said, where water in the past used to accumulate.
"It's a very different area to Jezero Crater [where Perseverance roams]," Bridges said. "But because we have seen one, that doesn't mean that it is not worth going to see the other. We have still only explored a tiny fraction of the Martian surface and we shouldn't fall into the trap of assuming that we've seen that, done that."
Falling behind
The ExoMars conundrum, Bridges suggests, highlights weaknesses in ESA's strategy, and undermines the agency's aspiration to be the world-class player it desires to be.
ESA, a partnership of 22 European member states, was beaten to the surface of Mars by China, which only revealed its plans for the Zhurong rover in 2014. Chinese landers, including the famous Yutu rover, have dominated moon exploration in the past decade. Japan's space agency JAXA, in the meantime, has built a legacy of returning samples from asteroids.
"ESA has this problem that they can be left flapping in the breeze a bit," Bridges said. "If external factors change, they don't seem to quite have the size or strength to withstand being buffeted about. Part of that is because they haven't really decided what their strategy is, what they really want to be doing, compared to JAXA or China's National Space Administration, who know exactly what they want to do and they just get on and do it."
ESA is currently evaluating options for the ExoMars rover, which it will present to its member states later this year. Among the possibilities is a return to the original partner NASA, who could land the rover using its proven technologies, Bridges said, but with a substantial financial contribution from ESA.
Rogue planets nearly double in number with new discovery
Rogue planets nearly double in number with new discovery
Astronomers announced on December 22, 2021, that they’ve found somewhere between 70 and 170 rogue, or free-floating, planets; that is, planets not currently in orbit around a star. This mass of unattached planets, each approximately the size of Jupiter, lies in a region of the Milky Way known as the Upper Scorpius OB stellar association. These newly found free-floating planets nearly double the total number of rogue planets already known.
The peer-reviewed journal Nature Astronomy published the rogue planet discovery on December 22, 2021.
Location of the rogue planets
The team of astronomers used observations and archival data from telescopes around the world and in space to make their discoveries. They sifted through 80,000 wide-field images taken over 20 years. Núria Miret-Roig and Hervé Bouy at the University of Bordeaux in France took a census of all the stars, brown dwarfs and rogue planets greater than four Jupiter masses in the Upper Scorpius region.
This region of sky, the Upper Scorpius OB association, lies 420 light-years away from Earth. Amateur astronomers might be familiar with this region of sky because it contains favorite targets for astrophotographers, including the colorful region around Rho Ophiuchi plus dark nebulae such as the Pipe Nebula, Barnard 68 and the Coalsack.
A new rogue planet detection method
Previously, astronomers discovered free-floating planets with microlensing surveys. With this method, astronomers witness a brief chance alignment between a rogue planet and a background star. The drawback is that the scientists can’t make follow-up observations with these one-time microlensing events.
In the new study, scientists looked for rogue planets that were still young, within a few million years of their formation. Normally, a planet that is not near its parent star wouldn’t be visible to astronomers without a source to illuminate it. But these young planets are still hot enough to glow. So Miret-Roig and her team looked for direct images of them with sensitive cameras on large telescopes. They measured the points of light in optical and near-infrared wavelengths in the Upper Scorpius region and combined the measurements with the movement they detected. Miret-Roig said:
We measured the tiny motions, the colors and luminosities of tens of millions of sources in a large area of the sky. These measurements allowed us to securely identify the faintest objects in this region.
The origin of the rogue planets
The scientists also wonder how these rogue planets came to be. Were they ejected from a solar system like our own? Or did they form from the collapse of a gas cloud that was too small to create a star? (Which also brings up the as-yet-unanswered question, if the rogue planet doesn’t orbit a star or didn’t originally form around a star, is it still, by definition, a planet?)
If the origin of rogue planets was due to ejection from a stellar system, it suggests there could be an abundance of Earth-sized free-floating planets out there. As Miret-Roig explained:
The free-floating Jupiter-mass planets are the most difficult to eject, meaning that there might even be more free-floating Earth-mass planets wandering the galaxy.
An inexact number of free-floating planets
Sean Raymond, also of the University of Bordeaux and one of the authors on the paper, explained on Twitter why the number of planets is in a range between 70 and 170:
This star-forming region of space – the Upper Scorpius region – is from 3 to 10 million years old. If the star-forming region is younger and closer to the 3 million year age, then the objects the scientists singled out are more likely young, hot planets. If the star-forming region is older, then the candidates are also older, and their brightness comes from a larger size, not youth. In this case, some of them may therefore be brown dwarfs (failed stars).
Could rogue planets have life?
What are these rogue planets like, and would they be suitable for life? Well, for one, they might have moons. As Raymond said on Twitter:
Some ejected gas giants hold onto their moons! We can speculate that tidal heating might maintain not-too-frigid temperatures in the interiors of such moons.
Which, of course, sounds rather conducive to the existence of life. What about Earth-like planets and water, aka, life as we know it? Raymond also tweeted:
The scientists hope to answer some of their many questions in the years to come. With the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory coming online, they’ll likely find many more free-floating planets.
Bottom line: Astronomers have nearly doubled the number of known rogue planets with a recent discovery using archive images from the Upper Scorpius region.
Scientists with the CEERS Collaboration have identified an object—dubbed Maisie’s galaxy in honor of project head Steven Finkelstein’s daughter—that may be one of the earliest galaxies ever observed.

Two new images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope show what may be among the earliest galaxies ever observed. Both images include objects from more than 13 billion years ago, and one offers a much wider field of view than Webb's First Deep Field image, which was released amid great fanfare July 12. The images represent some of the first out of a major collaboration of astronomers and other academic researchers teaming with NASA and global partners to uncover new insights about the universe.

The team has identified one particularly exciting object—dubbed Maisie's galaxy in honor of project head Steven Finkelstein's daughter—that they estimate is being observed as it was just 290 million years after the Big Bang (astronomers refer to this as a redshift of z=14).
The finding has been published on the preprint server arXiv and is awaiting publication in a peer-reviewed journal. If the finding is confirmed, it would be one of the earliest galaxies ever observed, and its presence would indicate that galaxies started forming much earlier than many astronomers previously thought.
The unprecedentedly sharp images reveal a flurry of complex galaxies evolving over time—some elegantly mature pinwheels, others blobby toddlers, still others gauzy swirls of do-si-doing neighbors. The images, which took about 24 hours to collect, are from a patch of sky near the handle of the Big Dipper, a constellation formally named Ursa Major. This same area of sky was observed previously by the Hubble Space Telescope, as seen in the Extended Groth Strip.
"It's amazing to see a point of light from Hubble turn into a whole, beautifully shaped galaxy in these new James Webb images, and other galaxies just pop up out of nowhere," said Finkelstein, associate professor of astronomy at The University of Texas at Austin and the principal investigator for the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS), from which these images were taken.
An image taken with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope from a patch of sky near the handle of the Big Dipper. This is one of the first images obtained by the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS) collaboration.
The CEERS collaboration is composed of 18 co-investigators from 12 Institutions and more than 100 collaborators from the U.S. and nine other countries. CEERS researchers are studying how some of the earliest galaxies formed when the universe was less than 5% of its current age, during a period known as reionization.
Before the actual telescope data came in, Micaela Bagley, a postdoctoral researcher at UT Austin and one of the CEERS imaging leads, created simulated images to help the team develop methods for processing and analyzing the new imagery. Bagley led a group processing the real images so the data could be analyzed by the whole team.
The large image is a mosaic of 690 individual frames that took about 24 hours to collect using the telescope's main imager, called the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). This new image covers an area of the sky about eight times as large as Webb's First Deep Field image, although it is not quite as deep. Researchers used supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center for the initial image processing: Stampede2 was used to remove background noise and artifacts, and Frontera, the world's most powerful supercomputer at a U.S. university, was used to stitch together the images to form a single mosaic.
"High-performance computing power made it possible to combine myriad images and hold the frames in memory at once for processing, resulting in a single beautiful image," Finkelstein said.
The other image was taken with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). Compared with NIRcam, MIRI has a smaller field of view but operates at much higher spatial resolution than previous mid-infrared telescopes. MIRI detects longer wavelengths than NIRCam, allowing astronomers to see cosmic dust glowing from star-forming galaxies and black holes at modestly large distances, and see light from older stars at very large distances.
US Navy submarines have detected mysterious objects moving hundreds of knots underwater as the Pentagon prepares to release its report on UFO sightings.
The Navy has collected sonar data showing mysterious fast-moving underwater objects that experts or current technology cannot explain.
Tom Rogan of the Washington Examiner said the US Navy “has the data” to prove the strange encounters.
Some of these encounters could be included in the US government working group that is preparing to report back to Congress on its UFO findings next month.
Speaking with Tucker Carlson of Fox News about the new footage, Rogan said: “One area that we will learn more about in relation to this video is the interaction between Navy submarines that pick up sonar contact from things moving hundreds knots under water ”.
“There is an underwater dimension to this, in addition to what the pilots are seeing above the water.”
Mr. Carlson replied, “Hundreds of knots under water? I don’t think people can even digest that. “
Mr. Rogan added: “That is what I have heard from very good sources and that the United States Navy has the data.”
Last month, Corbell shared a video of another mysterious triangular craft flying near another US Navy ship.
He said, “Whether this being is worldly or otherworldly, we don’t know. It is just part of a much larger series of events that we are going to learn from. “
Last week, video showed a dark spherical object moving across the sky near a Navy ship , before suddenly veering into the water and disappearing.
Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, said that some of the UAPs that have been seen defy physics as we know it.
“They have no signs of propulsion, no wings, and yet they can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That is precisely what we are seeing ”.
From HG Wells’ “The Time Machine” to the “Back to the Future” franchise, time travel has been a hallmark of science fiction for more than a century.
Part of its appeal has been that famous physicists like Albert Einstein have come up with theories that explain weather phenomena in ways that don’t rule out the possibility of time travel.
Einstein’s special theory of relativity proposes that time moves relative to an observer and is an illusion.
In his 1905 theory, space and time combined into a singular entity known as “space-time”, which physicists have been able to verify.
However, in an article published in The Conversation , Barak Shoshany, an assistant professor of physics at Brock University in Canada, wrote about the possibility of time travel, but with certain conditions.
One of the biggest obstacles to time travel is the practical requirement of “exotic matter,” which is matter with negative energy, as opposed to the matter around us, which consists of positive energy.
However, Professor Shoshany adds that there is no evidence that it is impossible to create exotic matter in sufficient quantities.
“In addition, other equations can be discovered that allow time travel without requiring exotic matter,” explains Professor Shoshany.
Another hurdle is the possibility of time paradoxes, where an action done in the past could have ripple effects in the present that undo the need for time travel.
A classic example of this is the famous “ grandfather paradox ”, where pundits ponder whether a time traveler would cease to exist if he went back in time to kill his grandfather when he was young.
“In physics, a paradox is not an event that can actually happen, it is a purely theoretical concept that points to an inconsistency in the theory itself,” adds the Canadian physicist.
“In other words, the paradoxes of consistency not only imply that time travel is a dangerous endeavor, but that it simply cannot be possible.”
Theoretical physicist Igor Dmitriyevich Novikov attempted to solve the problem of time travel paradoxes with a self-consistency conjecture, which essentially states that you can travel to the past, but you cannot change it.
But Professor Shoshany, along with his students Jacob Hauser and Jared Wogan studied time travel, and in a recent study they discovered that there are time travel paradoxes that the Novikov conjecture cannot resolve.
“We show that allowing for multiple histories (or in more familiar terms, parallel timelines) can resolve paradoxes that the Novikov conjecture cannot,” Shoshany writes.
“In fact, it can solve any paradox you throw at it.”
According to his theory, when a person steps out of a time machine, they arrive in a different timeline, where they can do whatever they want, including destroying their time machine five minutes before they were supposed to use it.
In this theory, changes to this new timeline would have no effect on the original timeline.
“After working on time travel paradoxes for the past three years, I have become increasingly convinced that time travel might be possible, but only if our universe can allow multiple histories to coexist,” he continues. explaining the physical
The team of researchers now seeks to formulate a concrete theory of time travel that complies with the law of general relativity.
Professor Shoshany adds that even if they do manage to find such a theory, this would not be enough to prove that time travel is possible, but it would at least mean that time travel is not ruled out by consistency paradoxes.
In short: multiple timelines would allow you to travel to a different timeline and kill your grandparents, let’s ignore the ‘why’ for the sake of debate, without causing a paradox.
Of course, once this happens, there is no reason to believe that that Universe will continue exactly as ours has.
It is likely that the “butterfly effect” of your arrival has changed it, it is also likely that you have selected a limited number of similarities, no matter how great they are.
Still, this would be a (still extremely far-fetched) way to experience the past, without affecting the present or creating paradoxes.

The Record for the Farthest Galaxy just got Broken Again, now just 250 million years after the Big Bang
In a recent study submitted to MNRAS, a collaborative research team has utilized the first set of data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovering a galaxy candidate, CEERS-93316, that formed approximately 250 million years after the Bing Bang, which also set a new redshift record of z = 16.7. This finding is extremely intriguing as it demonstrates the power of JWST, which only started sending back its first set of data a few weeks ago. CEERS stands for Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey, and was specifically created for imaging with JWST.

“The past few weeks have been surreal, watching all the records that stood for a long time with Hubble be broken by JWST,” says Dr. Rebecca Bowler, who is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow at the University of Manchester, and a co-author on the study. “Finding a z = 16.7 galaxy candidate is an amazing feeling – it wasn’t something we were expecting from the early data.”
This new study references a dozen previous studies that have measured objects up to redshifts z ? 10 using a mixture of ground-based observations and with the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope.
“It’s amazing to have found such a distant galaxy candidate already with Webb given that this is just the first set of data,” says Mr. Callum Donnan, a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, and lead author of the study. “It is important to note that to be certain of the redshift, the galaxy will need follow up observations using spectroscopy. This is why we refer to it as a galaxy candidate.”
The study determined that CEERS-93316 can’t be a low-mass star or unobstructed active galactic nucleus based on imaging data from NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera), which is JWST’s primary imager. Since CEERS-93316 is could be only 250 million years old, one goal for cosmologists is to know what’s happening in galaxies that young, and so soon after the Big Bang.
“After the Big Bang the Universe entered a period known as the dark ages, a time before any stars had been born,” explains Dr. Bowler. “The observations of this galaxy push observations back to the time when we think the first galaxies ever to exist were being formed. Already we’ve found more galaxies in the very early Universe than computer simulations predicted, so there is clearly a lot of open questions about how and when the first stars and galaxies formed.”
Given this incredible finding in just the first set of data from JWST, it’s intriguing to think how much father back in the universe this record-shattering space telescope can see, and whether it can see the Big Bang itself.
“In principle JWST can detect galaxies at redshifts greater than 20, less than 200 million years after the Big Bang,” explains Bowler. “These galaxies will likely be extremely hard to find, but the detection of CERRS 93316 gives us hope that they may exist. Watch this space!”
“The most distant phenomenon observed is the cosmic microwave background (CMB) which is the ‘afterglow’ of the Big Bang,” explains Donnan. “The light from the CMB comes from approximately 400,000 years after the Big Bang and has been observed by various instruments over the years – most notably the Planck satellite which launched in 2009. Webb won’t be able to see as far back as that, but it is able to probe the earliest stages of galaxy formation.”
While Donnan and Bowler both stated there are no further observations planned for CEERS-93316, they are hopeful that there will be in the future.
Redshift is part of what’s known as the Doppler effect, which astronomers use to measure distances in the universe. A frequent example to demonstrate the Doppler effect is the change in sound wave pitch as a loud object travels towards you then travels away from you, often by an ambulance or other first responder vehicle. The sound waves as the object travels towards you is known as blueshift, while the opposite is called redshift. This new study setting a new redshift record means scientists have measured the farthest object in the universe to date.
Sun is Older Than The Earth But The Water You Drink is Older Than The Sun
Sun is Older Than The Earth But The Water You Drink is Older Than The Sun
Consider this the next time you pick up a “fresh” glass of water: some of the molecules in that water are billions of years old – much older than the solar system itself.
This seems impossible at first: how could water on Earth predate the solar system in which it exists? However, recent peer-reviewed research published in the journal Science confirms this.
Astronomers arrived at this conclusion by proving that water in our solar system had to have been produced inside the thick cloud of gas and dust that preceded and was required for the formation of the star we know as the Sun. This means that the water that finally made its way to Earth through “wet rocks” such as asteroids or comets existed before the Sun exploded into a star.
Ted Bergin, an astronomy professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and one of the study’s authors, describes the discovery as “extraordinary.” “If you look back 4.6 billion years ago, there’s an incredible story to be told,” he says.
Earth was formed from microscopic particles little larger than the width of a human hair. Astronomers — who, Bergin says, are “very imaginative souls,” — call this “dust.”
These dust particles would collect so much energy from the Sun at their distance from it that they would become too hot for water to condense on them as ice. “This means that when the Earth was born, it was dry,” Bergin says. “So that’s an interesting problem: Where did the water come from?”
If we consider the matter more generally, Bergin asserts, we must ask: Where did all the water in the cosmos originate from? “The universe isn’t made of water, it’s made of atoms,” he explains. “So, at someplace, at some time, those atoms came together in the universe, via chemistry, to form water.”
Fortunately, astronomers can investigate that chemistry in Earth-based laboratories. They are capable of reproducing the circumstances that result in the formation of water. They do this using a process known as isotopic fingerprinting.
They do this using a process known as isotopic fingerprinting. The second kind is deuterium. These elements coexist in a more-or-less stable ratio throughout the solar system: for every deuterium atom, there are around 100,000 hydrogen atoms. Water has around this amount of hydrogen and deuterium.
“But chemistry tells us that under very specific conditions there can be an excess of deuterium,” says Bergin. “That’s what we call a ‘isotopic fingerprint.’ Earth contains a surplus of deuterium, as do comets and asteroids.”
The isotopic fingerprint appears only at very low temperatures, between 10 and 20 degrees above absolute zero (-441 degrees Fahrenheit). “So, because the Earth has this excess of deuterium,” Bergin explains, “we know one thing already: that whatever the source of the water was, it was really, really cold. So now we have to look at star and planet formation and ask, ‘Where is it that cold?’”
When a star starts to develop, temperatures may get so low in just two locations inside the enormous, violent system: within the cloud of gas and dust that surrounds the protostar, or within the accretion disc that begins to form around it. However, there is one more twist: water is also created by a chemical process called ionization. The researchers established that the disc is incapable of powering this chemical reaction by examining a comprehensive model of it.
“This tells you that, of the two potential sources to make the water — the disc and the cloud of gas and dust — the disc can’t do it,” Bergin explains. Therefore, the water with the isotopic fingerprint could only have emerged from the gas and dust — about a million years before the formation of the sun.
Nonetheless, this begs the issue of how this water reached Earth. According to Bergin, planets are generated from the same cloud of gas and dust that collapses and ignites to form a star. Within the cloud, rocks were thrown into space and collided with the particles that eventually created Earth. Although some of them lacked water, they collided with the Earth and amalgamated with it. Additional boulders were flung our way from a greater distance, and these rocks were chilly enough to contain water.
“So as the Earth was being born, these rocks from greater distances supplied the water,” Bergin says. “The water became part of the rocks, and it just out-gassed via volcanoes, and that created the oceans and the atmosphere, and this wonderful planet that we have today.”

Happy landiversary to one of NASA’s proudest accomplishments.
On August 5, 2012 the Mars Curiosity Rover eased its way onto the surface of the Red Planet and began a journey that has gone on eight years longer than planned, collecting valuable data about whether life can be supported there - and if those conditions existed in the past.
As part of the celebration, scientists and mission members from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab and Goddard Space Flight Center, as well as the United States Geological Survey took part in a Twitter Space - basically a chat room of sorts - where they shared fond memories and lessons of the historic mission to the fourth rock from the sun.

On August 5, 2012 the Mars Curiosity Rover slowly eased its way onto the surface of the Red Planet. The rover used the camera at the end of its arm in April and May 2014 to take dozens of component images combined into this self-portrait where the rover drilled into a sandstone target called 'Windjana'
'It plays a special role in NASA's Mars exploration program,' said Mars Science Laboratory project scientist Ashwin Vasavada. 'The ultimate goal is to figure out if life ever evolved on Mars, if it existed in the past or even today.'
To do so, Curiosity was launched on November 26, 2011 from Cape Canaveral. After its months-long journey through space, the 2,000 pound, car-sized rover touched down inside the 3.7 billion-year-old, 100-mile long Gale crater and began its methodical exploration of Mars’ surface.
JPL systems engineer Sophia Mitchell spoke about her job as a 'space Uber driver,' as she pilots the Curiosity rover from over 100 million miles away.
'It’s definitely a dream job,' she said. 'I'm an aerospace engineer and but I really think of myself as an explorer and so the ultimate exploration job in my mind is getting to drive a massive science robot around on a different planet.'

NASA scientists say that now-dusty Mars was once covered in bodies of water – an indication that this barren planet may have once been host to some form of life, or at least had the capacity to do so. The Mars Curiosity Rover snapped this panorama (above) of the Red Planet
What the rover learned has helped scientists paint a picture of what the planet likely looked like billions of years ago. The answer is that now-dusty Mars was once covered in bodies of water – an indication that this barren planet may have once been host to some form of life, or at least had the capacity to do so.
That possibility was reinforced by Curiosity’s discovery of organic molecules found while drilling into shallow parts of the planet’s surface. The team spoke excitedly of future missions, such as the European Space Agency’s ExoMars rover, which will be able to dig deeper than Curiosity’s tools allowed.
While the past decade has been filled with discovery, it’s also been fraught with challenges. What was supposed to be a two-year mission has been extended indefinitely and Curiosity has started to show its age, with wear-and-tear on the wheels and a drill that doesn’t operate the way it once did.
As Mitchell noted, when something breaks on Mars, 'We can’t send someone there to repair it. We just have to figure out how to use what we have to still be able to do what we want.'
Though robots have visited our closest celestial neighbor, that’s a trip that no human has yet been able to take.
The team enthusiastically endorsed the possibility of mankind one day making it to Mars, a trip that will be aided by vital data on radiation being collected by Curiosity - and probably with the help of Elon Musk's Starship, after it successfully conducts a orbital launch test and brings people to the moon first.
'I can just say I hope you go to Mars,' Vasavada told one curious child who was picked to ask a question. 'We're looking forward to seeing you on Mars one day and I can tell you that Curiosity is going to help protect you.'

"We're still able to do the same quality and breadth of science that we were 10 years ago, and that's pretty extraordinary."

NASA's Curiosity rover has hit a major milestone: the robot is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its landing on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012.
Over the decade, the rover has greatly advanced our understanding of the Red Planet through its exploration and research. Curiosity's primary mission objective was to determine whether or not Mars was habitable in the past. Through previous missions, scientists had already determined that water was once present on Mars and, in fact, is currently present on Mars in the form of ice. But water alone isn't enough to support life.
"Determining habitability requires knowing if there were things like organic molecules — carbon-containing molecules that life needs — sources of energy, other molecules that life needs, like nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen," Curiosity deputy project scientist Abigail Fraeman, who is also a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, told Space.com. "And we have found that all of those were there."
In order to find these key signatures of habitability on Mars, Curiosity carries with it tools to drill into the surface of the planet and spectrometers like the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) and Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) that can analyze the resulting samples. Within the rover's first few years on the planet, it had already discovered key requirements for life.
"So we found, one, Mars was habitable, and two, that those habitable environments persisted for tens of millions of years, most likely, maybe even hundreds of millions of years, which was surprising and exciting," Fraeman said.
The rover's research into the rock and soil of Mars also yielded new information about groundwater cycles on Mars. "All of the rocks that we've driven through show not only the signature of water when they were originally deposited, but this later overprinting of one or two or dozens of cycles of groundwater circulating through the rocks," Fraeman said. "And so it really emphasized the importance of subsurface water on Mars, which is something that would have been a really important process."

But in a decade of exploration, Curiosity has discovered much more than the building blocks of life. "One of the types of science that doesn't get mentioned a whole lot, but is really important and really interesting, is the environmental science we've been doing," Fraeman said.
Curiosity has radiation detectors and environmental and atmospheric sensors that have been put to good use on Mars. For instance, throughout its wanderings, when Curiosity approached geological formations like cliffs and buttes, the rover's instruments detected that the rocks blocked radiation from reaching it. "We can now use that for models for future astronauts. For example, can you use natural terrain as shielding?" Fraeman said.
She's also enthralled by Curiosity's study of Martian weather, noting that just last year, Curiosity photographed beautiful clouds known as noctilucent clouds, which appear at sunset during winter.

Although Curiosity's original mission timeline lasted just under two Earth years, a decade out the rover continues to be in relatively good health — good enough to continue its work. "We do have a little bit of arthritis, a little bit of aches and pains in the joints," Fraeman said. Its wheels, for instance, have developed quite a few holes after some 17.5 miles (28 kilometers) of travel with a 2,000-foot (600 meters) elevation gain. But Fraeman noted that the wheels are accumulating damage at a relatively slow rate, allowing Curiosity to continue moving.
"I think what's most remarkable to me is all the science instruments are basically working as well as they did when we landed," she said. "We're still able to do the same quality and breadth of science that we were 10 years ago, and that's pretty extraordinary."
Next up for Curiosity is an investigation into what happened to the once-habitable climate of Mars and how long the region remained habitable as the water began to dry up. While the rover spent the past decade exploring lake environments — most recently, a region where sand dunes formed as lakes disappeared — the team is now sending the explorer even higher up Mount Sharp.

"We're so close to reaching what we call the Layered-Sulfate unit, which is a completely different portion of Mount Sharp," Fraeman said. "We see from orbit that it has a different texture, a different mineralogy, and we think this is going to represent a very different environmental time on Mars. We're excited to see just what this environmental change was, how it's reflected in the rock record, and what that means for habitability."
But before Curiosity gets to all that, the team is going to spend a little time celebrating the anniversary. "Those of us who are local in Pasadena, we're going to have a party. We're going to get some Thai food, we'll have a raffle," Fraeman said. "I think it'll just be a joyous occasion to celebrate the accomplishments and hopefully look forward to more fun science.
In recent decades, scientists have been studying near-death experiences (NDEs) in an attempt to gain insights into how death overcomes the brain.
Some people who have NDEs can later report, with accuracy, what was taking place around them, even though medical professionals considered them clinically dead or unconscious at the time.
While the exact mechanisms behind NDEs remain unclear, research suggests that we remain conscious for about two to 20 seconds after our breathing and heartbeat stop.
Time of death is considered when a person has gone into cardiac arrest, which is the cessation of the electrical impulse that drives the heartbeat. As a result, the heart locks up. This moment when the heart stops is considered by medical professionals to be the clearest indication that someone has died.
But what happens inside our mind during this process? Does death immediately overtake our subjective experience or does it slowly creep in?
Some scientists are beginning to think that NDEs are caused by reduced blood flow, coupled with abnormal electrical behavior inside the brain. So, the stereotypical tunnel of white light might derive from a surge in neural activity. Dr. Sam Parnia is the director of critical care and resuscitation research, at NYU Langone School of Medicine, in New York City. He and colleagues have investigated exactly how the brain dies.
In previous work, Dr. Parnia has conducted animal studies looking at the moments before and after death. He’s also investigated near-death experiences. “Many times, those who have had such experiences talk about floating around the room and being aware of the medical team working on their body,” Dr. Parnia toldLive Science. “They’ll describe watching doctors and nurses working and they’ll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them.”
Medical staff confirm this, he said. But how could people who were technically dead be cognizant of what’s happening around them? Even after our breathing and heartbeat stop, we remain conscious for about two to 20 seconds, Dr. Parnia says. That’s how long the cerebral cortex is thought to last without oxygen. This is the thinking and decision-making part of the brain. It’s also responsible for deciphering the information gathered from our senses.
According to Dr. Parnia, during this period, “You lose all your brain stem reflexes — your gag reflex, your pupil reflex, all that is gone.” Brain waves from the cerebral cortex soon become undetectable. Even so, it can take hours for our thinking organ to fully shut down.
Usually, when the heart stops beating, someone performs CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). This will provide about 15% of the oxygen needed to perform normal brain function. “If you manage to restart the heart, which is what CPR attempts to do, you’ll gradually start to get the brain functioning again,” Dr. Parnia said. “The longer you’re doing CPR, those brain cell death pathways are still happening — they’re just happening at a slightly slower rate.”
Other research from Dr. Parnia and his colleagues examined the large numbers of Europeans and Americans who have experienced cardiac arrest and survived. “In the same way that a group of researchers might be studying the qualitative nature of the human experience of ‘love,'” he said, “we’re trying to understand the exact features that people experience when they go through death, because we understand that this is going to reflect the universal experience we’re all going to have when we die.”
One of the objectives is to observe how the brain acts and reacts during cardiac arrest, throughout both the processes of death and revival. How much oxygen exactly does it take to reboot the brain? How is the brain affected after revival? Learning where the lines are drawn might improve resuscitation techniques, which could save countless lives per year.
“At the same time, we also study the human mind and consciousness in the context of death,” Dr. Parnia said, “to understand whether consciousness becomes annihilated or whether it continues after you’ve died for some period of time — and how that relates to what’s happening inside the brain in real time.”

3 UFOs or possibly a triangle UFO over Benidorm, Spain
3 UFOs or possibly a triangle UFO over Benidorm, Spain
This triangular formation was filmed over Benidorm, Spain on 10th July 2022.
Witness report:
In the early morning of July 10th 2022 at 1:31 A.M. I was sitting outside with my Night Vision monocular watching the stars when suddenly 3 lights came flying in my field of vision. I immediately started recording and followed the lights for about 20 seconds until they disappeared behind a branch of a tree in the forefront. At first I thought they were 3 separate UFOs but it could as well have been a single big triangular UFO turning on its axis. Attached you find the recording so you can judge for yourself.
On April 18, 1962, at around 8:15 p.m., local time, witnesses in Oneida and Cuba, New York, saw a strange object streaking westward across the sky, variously described as looking like a red or blue fireball, “a red flaming sword,” a very bright white light with a bright white trail, or a long cylindrical shape like a cigarette. The object was soon tracked by NORAD, who then alerted the Air Defense Command and at the time no one could figure out what it was, and as they debated over what to do the object began its strange and inscrutable journey west, which would only end after it had crossed ten states and with an apparent explosion of a possible alien craft.
As the object streaked from east to west, it would be witnessed by thousands of people whose testimony soon showed that this was no meteorite. The mysterious object was often seen to change speed and altitude, with some witnesses reporting that it would pass just a few hundred feet from the ground. It also would occasionally surge ahead at great speed only to slow back down again, and its trail would sometimes change colors from a bright yellow to blue. In some cases, it was reported as casting off sparks, emanating a “whooshing” or a “gasping sound,” and there were some reports of the object causing several loud booms and flashing lights as it passed over to disappear from view. As people got a closer look at it they could see that it was very strange, indeed, with one witness even claiming that he had been able to discern a series of square windows on the object almost hidden in the glow of it.
Other witnesses along its course described the object demonstrating some very odd behavior as well. In Eureka, Utah, it was seen to pass low and cause cars to stall and street lights and retail store lights to go out. One witness by the name of Bob Robinson claimed that as he drove along with friend along with Floyd Evans near Nephi, Utah, it had approached his truck to hover over them momentarily, causing it to malfunction and stall, with the vehicle suddenly springing back to life when it was gone. It was also seen to allegedly arc down and land in a remote area around 10 miles southwest of the town and stay there for 42 minutes, during which time it was reported as caused a service disruption at a nearby power plant before taking off again to continue its journey west, after which power to the plant was mysteriously restored. Some witnesses also claimed that there were “military men” snooping around the area right after the incident, looking around and questioning people.
A newspaper clipping of the incident
Several law enforcement personnel saw the object over Utah, including a Sergeant E. C. Sherwood of the Utah Highway Patrol, who saw a bright blue light that he claimed seemed to explode over him while shooting off “a cloud of white sparks.” Indeed, a number of people in the area reported a roaring sound and the loud bangs of what sounded like explosions as the object passed, in some cases a series of twenty of thirty explosions strung together. Joseph Benini, the police chief at the time, also saw a bright light and heard what sounded almost like an artillery shell passing overhead. At the time the thing was being seen by pilots in the air as well. A Bonanza Air Lines pilot said that the light passed beneath his aircraft, and Troop Carrier Squadron, reserve AF pilot and civilian Attorney at Law Captain Herman Gordon Shields saw it as he was flying a Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar two miles west of La Van, Utah. He would describe the incident it as follows:
We were approximately 25 degrees of bank on the aircraft and we had turned for about 30 degrees to a heading of about 098 or 100 degrees, somewhere in there, when it began to get very bright in the, cock- pit. The illumination was from above. It built up slowly. My first impression while the intensity was low was that it was the landing lights of another aircraft. Of course, when the intensity increased this was ruled out automatically. The cockpit was illuminated from above. In the C-119 aircraft there is an instrument panel in the middle of the cockpit up above on the ceiling of the cockpit. The light source was coming from this area that was blanked out, in other words, straight behind this instrument panel because neither Lieutenant Larson, who was in the fight seat nor I saw the source of the illumination.
We continued the turn. The light intensity increased until we could see objects [on the ground] as bright as day for a radius of five to ten miles from the aircraft. This would probably be a diameter of twenty miles or so. Objects on the ground, on the hills around us, were clearly distinguishable. Colors were distinguishable. It was as bright as daylight. The intensity of the light diminished faster than it had increased. After the light had decreased in intensity we were still looking for the light source, and I noticed an object to my left between the wing and the lower part of the fuselage of the aircraft against the hills. By this time the light had decreased so that the hills were dark. It was night again.
And this object which I saw was illuminated. It had a long slender appearance comparable to a cigarette in size, that is, the diameter with respect to the length of the object. The fore part, or the lower part of the object was very bright, intense white such as a magnesium fire. The second half, the aft section, was a clearly distinguishable yellowish color. I would say the object was just about divided in half, the fore part being intensely white, the aft section having a more yellow color to it.
In the meantime, the object was being tracked on radar and fighter jets were scrambled at Nellis Air Force base to investigate, and as the object approached Arizona there were jets put in the air from Luke Air Force Base as well. It would eventually pass over ten states and was seen as far west as Reno, Nevada and California, before it apparently was reported as changing course to head back east. Then, at a location somewhere over the Mesquite Range in Nevada around 70 miles northwest of Las Vegas, after being tracked and traced for a total of 32 minutes, there was reported a blinding flash bright enough to later light up the streets of Reno like noonday and visible from five states, followed by a thunderous boom that coincided with the object disappearing completely from radar at an altitude of 10,000 feet, suggesting that whatever it was had blown up in a massive explosion. Local law enforcement was swamped with calls and in the wake of the explosion, the area was reportedly crawling with military personnel, but the official story is that nothing was found.
In the aftermath of this strange series of events, the Air Force would do everything they could to wave it away. They claimed that it had been anything from a meteor to a U2 spy plane or a weather balloon. They would send in J. Allen Hynek, with Project Blue Book, along with Lieutenant Colonel Robert Friend, who quickly concluded after a cursory investigation that the object had been a bolide, or a very bright, exploding meteor. Dr. Robert Kadesch, an associate professor of physics at the University of Utah, would also vocally concur with the bolide theory. Although officially the object would be labelled as “Insufficient Data for a Scientific Analysis,” the military considered it case closed and brushed it away. Although the chief of criminal investigation at Hill Air Force Base, Douglas Crouch, would do his own investigation and find that the witnesses were “logical, mature persons” and come to the conclusion that they had seen a tangible object that was not an aircraft of balloon, saying that there had also been “no unusual meteorological or astronomical conditions present,” the Air Force closed the book on the whole thing and moved on.
This is the way things would stay for decades, and it was mostly forgotten about except for a mention by author Frank Edwards mentioned the crash near Las Vegas in his 1964 book Strange World. It was not until UFO researcher Kevin Randle took a closer look at it when the Air Force declassified their “Blue Book Files” in the 1990s that it would become clear how strange the whole incident was. Randle would thoroughly scour these files and track down witnesses, illuminating the once forgotten case and ultimately coming to the conclusion that what was seen cannot be explained by meteors, aircraft, or weather balloons.
This was a UFO event witnessed by thousands of people across ten states, many of who would be categorized as reliable witnesses such as law enforcement, radar operators, pilots, and military personnel, all of whom were sure that what they had seen was no meteor, balloon, or known aircraft, and it had been tracked by several radar installations. The object changed course and altitude, slowed down and sped up, even landed at one point, and also appeared on radar for 32 minutes, so it seems likely it was no meteor. There were never any reports of downed or missing, no U2 planes or weather balloons scheduled to be in the area at the time, and no military tests in the area at the time either. The descriptions of the object’s appearance also don’t fit any of those explanations, and no known aircraft would be flying so erratically, so what are we dealing with here? What was it and what became of it? How can the brilliant flash and explosion be explained? Did whatever it was blow up and why? Was there some sort of cover up involved? These are all questions we may never have answers to, and it remains a strange, but more little-known case of a mass UFO sighting and possible UFO crash.

Admiral Lord Hill Norton UFOs Exist
Admiral Lord Hill Norton
Lord Hill-Norton stated, “The evidence that there are objects which have been seen in our atmosphere, and even on terra firma, which cannot be accounted for either as man-made objects or as any physical force or effect known to our scientists, seems to me to be overwhelming… A very large number of sightings have been vouched for by persons whose credentials seem to me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots. Their observations have in many instances… been supported either by technical means such as radar or, even more convincingly, by… interference with electrical apparatus of one sort or another.…” Admiral Lord Hill-Norton, Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain, 1973; Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77; quoted from his foreword to “Above Top Secret” by Timothy Good, Morrow & Co’s Quill Books.

Jeremy Corbell posted from the USS Omaha on July 15, 2019. Corbell, a UFO enthusiast and filmmaker behind the 2018 documentary “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers,” said the footage showed a “significant UFO event series.”
In the clip, a radar screen is shown with as many as 14 objects moving around the ship. At one point, an unidentified man is heard saying, “Holy (expletive)! They’re moving fast. … They’re turning around.
Littoral Combat Ship USS Omaha
LCS is a modular, reconfigura ble ship, designed to meet validated fleet requirements for Surface Warfare, Anti-Submarine Warfare, and Mine Countermeasures missions in the littoral region. An interchangeable mission package is embarked on each LCS and provides the primary mission systems in one of these warfare areas. Using an open architecture design, modular weapons, sensor systems, and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to gain, sustain, and exploit littoral maritime supremacy This isn’t the first time Corbell has shared footage claiming to prove the existence of UFOs.
An 18-second clip he shared showing three UFOs hovering over the USS Russell in 2019 was confirmed by the Navy as authentic earlier this year, according to the New York Post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPrYVmYkL5wA

After swarming, the Omaha the craft suddenly disappeared, suggesting they flew into the ocean. Navy divers out of Norfolk. reported fast moving underwater USOs. The FAA has tracked 10,000 sightings in the last two years.
Another UFO filmmaker shared a video clip depicting radar footage he claimed shows a swarm of unidentified flying objects near a Navy ship off the coast of San Diego almost two years ago. ‘Sightings are reported from all over the world’.
In 2004, Sean Cahil, retired US Navy Chief Master-at-Arms, was aboard the USS Princeton Navy Independence-class aircraft carrier when radar picked up extraordinary Tic Tac UFOs/UAPs.
“The technology that we witnessed with the Tic Tac was something that we would not have been able to defend our forces from at the time,” Cahil said.
Appearing with Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Cahil described the Tic Tac UFO’s abilities.
“What we saw in the Tic Tac and what Mr. Luis Elizondo described as the five observables indicate a technology that outstrips our arsenal by at least 100 to 1,000 years at the moment,” said Cahil.]

The Five Observables
In 2008, Luiz Elizondo was first detailed to the secret UFO program sponsored by Senator Harry Reid, then called the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program. Later, it became the Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program or AATIP.
During his time at AATIP, Elizondo compiled a list of extraordinary feats that unidentified aerial phenomena shared:
Anti-gravity lift
Sudden and instantaneous acceleration
Hypersonic velocities without signatures (vapor trails or sonic booms)
Low observability, or cloaking
Trans-medium travel (moving between air and water)
Tic Tac UFO Abilities ‘According to Sean Cahil, the Tic Tac UFO was capable of all of the five observables and more. “First of all, the aircraft had zero control surfaces; it had no means of propulsion that we could detect. It moved at hypersonic velocities, and it proceeded the pilots to their CAP [Combat air patrol] points. So, it seemed to have some knowledge of where the pilots were headed to ahead of time. And we don’t possess those abilities to do that in our arsenal at the moment,” said Cahil.
Increasingly Bold UAPs/UFOs
Host Chri Cuomo asked Mellon what he made of the matter. “We clearly are vulnerable,” said Mellon. “And this has been going on for too long. Finally, our Congress is learning of this situation. They’re beginning to react. We’ve got a lot of catch-up here, but it’s very concerning.”
Although the UFOs have not been hostile, the activities have become bolder, says Mellon.
“It’s not an imminent crisis or imminent threat. There’s been no hostility but there’ a lot of activity, and it’s increasingly bold. In some instances, we’ve had these things swarming around warships off the coast of California, swarming around strategic missile defense spaces in Guam,” he said. There is a new urgency in studying UFOs today.
Typical Navy UAPs photos
US Navy warships in restricted waters near San Diego were surrounded by swarms of trans-medium UFOs. There, some 100 miles at sea, the crew spotted an assortment of strange vehicles in July 2019.
Editor’s Note:
I briefed four-star generals and even congressmen on UFOs, but unless fired upon they were not hostile therefore the highest ranks were not too concerned about the UFOs. Soviet KGB Colonels informed me that they had become hostile in Soviet Union and forced them to give up some fifteen countries including Ukraine and Georgia. Now UFOs are here in larger numbers and at least much more aggressive swarming around our ships. Although abductions have been reduced, some are still reported. Italy reports aggressive UFO actions against some of their aircraft and ships. As pilots on the East coast saw UFOs frequently, Elizondo’s program was low on resources and unsupported by the intelligence community. Then, a report in the New York Times that year finally got attention from Congress. The report indicated $22 million was spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, exposing the Pentagon program to the world. Apparently, President Trump authorized the bringing out slowly of more data on the UFOs. Several editors from the New York Times visited me several years ago indicating they wanted to bring out information on the UFOs, but their bosses had stopped them.
Apparently, the New York Times, Fox, Politico were given the OK to publish data to bring out the truth about the UFOs/UAPs. Now when I talk about UFOs people smile and often mention they have seen data that they are real.
According to Navy pilots, radar operators and underwater video cameras,side scan sonar, they have been picking the Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) from high-speed objects traveling over 100 knots faster than any submarine for years. The objective of passive acoustics is to detect the sounds produced by a submarine such as propeller, engine, and pump noise. Experienced sonar operators can identify these sounds. Each type of submarine and USO has a unique sound profile that makes up the acoustic “signature” of the vessel. Submarines themselves are equipped with passive solar systems, such as towed arrays of hydrophones that are used to detect and determine the relative position of underwater acoustic sources.
The black stars represent NAVFAC or NOPF sites; the two white stars represent the Ocean System Commands.
The Navy can also use active acoustics to find submarines or USOs much the same way people use active acoustics to find fish. By transmitting a sound pulse and receiving the echo on an array, the sonars can determine the direction of the echoes that return from objects hit by the sound. They can also measure the time it takes for echoes to return and calculate the distance to the object causing the echo. There are basically two types of active acoustic systems employed by navies around the world. Low frequency sonars are used for long-range hundreds of miles surveillance. The U.S. Navy has developed the Low Frequency Active system that uses a vertical array of 18 projectors to transmit signals in the 100-500 Hz frequency range.
Another acoustics system for assisting with antisubmarine warfare is the U.S. Navy’s sonobuoy system. Sonobuoys use a transducer and a radio transmitter to record and transmit underwater sounds. Aircraft can drop these instruments into the water. Multiple sonobuoys can be deployed in a pattern to determine the exact location of a target.
Underwater Base
UAPs are not necessarily extraterrestrial-, although many people who claim to have talked to aliens that claim they are from distance space. It is possible an underwater group developed or ETs from a water bore planet came here to settle. There’s no reason to rule out extraterrestrial origins as there are numerous planets and they likely have conquered space travel. The biggest problem is the vast distances involved although they speak of time travel shortening the append travel time. We are spending billions looking for extraterrestrial civilizations and thousands of planets and galaxies have been located. .ET found our planet and aided our becoming humans.
The U.S. Navy has several confirmed military underwater bases established, such as the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas. Just as we often receive reports of UFOs over military bases on land, could it be that the Underwater E.T. vehicles are observing our Underwater bases as well.
Israeli space security chief General ‘Haim Eshed said, “The Galactic Federation of extraterrestrials aren’t sure humans are ready to learn about their presence. “The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here; humanity is not ready yet,” said. Haim Eshed
The Tic Tac UFOs/UAPS encounters suggest very large underwater bases or even an under-Earth civilization that was revealed by Admiral Byrd in the 1940s with a very large technical capability hundreds of years ahead of own.
“Inside the Hollow Earth”
For thousands of years, people all over the world have written legends about Agartha, the underground city. Did Byrd find it?
He met “The Master,” the city’s leader, who told him of his concerns about the surface world:
“Our interest rightly begins just after your Race exploded the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the ‘Flugelrads’ to your surface world to investigate what your Race had done…You see, we have never interfered before in your Race’s wars and barbarity. But now we must, for you have learned to tamper with atomic energy. Apparently, the government knew about Agartha before Byrd.
Alleged Map of Inner Earth
Whether the whole Hollow Earth story is fact or fiction, it’s great to imagine there are still hidden civilizations in the world.
Editor’s Note: This author does not know if there are underground cities, but I did have orders to go to an underground base to reconstitute the government in case of nuclear war. Fourteen UAPs/UFOs swarming one of our advanced ships suggests a sophisticated civilization that excites.
There are numerous books and stories about the Hollow or Inner Earth that could be true. UAPs are not necessarily extraterrestrial according to a series of writers Planet Earth is not a solid globe, but a hollow world with two obvious entrances at the poles. In 2009, when Stephen Sindoni was visiting Mount Shasta, he said he saw a fleet of UFOs leaving the mountain. There are a number of races that live inside the Inner Earth, including the Telosians, who are similar to humans, he stated. There are people living within our Earth, on the inner crust of the globe, who have lived there longer than our current surface Earth civilization has existed. The first scientist known to write about life inside the Earth was William Reed who published a book entitled “The Phantom of the Poles” in 1906. Marshall B. Gardner. wrote another book in 1913, re-edited in 1920, “A Journey to the Earth’s Interior“. Both of these books based their conclusions on the reports of Arctic explorers. Two other interesting books are: “Worlds Beyond the Poles” (1959) written by F. Amado Giannini and “Subterranean Worlds: lost ” (1989) written by Walter Kafton-Minkel.
A book by “Dr. Raymond Bernard” appeared in 1964, The Hollow Earth. According to Mr. Bernard our world is hollow, with two openings at the North and South Pole, each hole where you can enter the inner Earth. At the center of the earth is not a molten core but an inner sun which is six hundred miles wide and is 2900 miles from the Inner Surfaces.
Bernard said, “While I was remote viewing the Hollow Earth, I saw a vast world with mountains and shorelines, and lush green vegetation with rivers and parks. A misty red sun on the horizon was emanating more warmth than seemed warranted. The climate was warm! The tall men and women I met seemed very caring. Their transportation is via hovercrafts and larger disk-shaped spacecrafts that apparently enter and exit the inner Earth. Their homes are mostly dome shaped and their personalities are compassionate, gentle and wise. Nazis were fascinated with anything regarding the Aryan race. They traveled all over the world including Antarctica to learn more of alleged origins
Admiral Byrd, stated, “There comes a time when the rationality of men must fade into insignificance, and one must accept the inevitability of the Truth! I am not at liberty to disclose the following documentation at this writing…perhaps it shall never see the light of public scrutiny, but I must do duty and record here for all to read one day. In a world of greed and exploitation of mankind can no longer suppress that which is truth.” Medal of Honor recipient Admiral Richard Byrd allegedly wrote his encounter with a lost civilization in Antarctica in his dairy. Commander Graham Bethune flew Byrd to Antarctica in the summer of 1945.
In 1938, Nazis claim New Sabia in red on map
Allegedly Admiral Byrd wrote a secret diary of his explorations of one of the greatest adventurers who has ever lived. – plus, proof that there is a vast, uncharted, civilization exists inside the planet. Commander Graham Bethune claimed he flew Admiral Richard E. Byrd near the South Polar region of the world. Before he started on the venture, Byrd made a mysterious statement: “I’d like to see that land beyond the Pole”. According to Hollow Earth theorists, Byrd met an ancient race underground in a mysterious opening near the South Pole. He also visited German scientists asking for the secrets of the disk craft. Bethune said, “The scientists refused to reveal the propulsion system for their UFOs, and they flew back to the Pentagon to report their findings.”
Operation Highjump
After the German Scientists refused cooperation, the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of State on August 7, 1946, approved Operation Highjump. “The U.S. Navy proposes to send an expedition to the Antarctic early in 1947. The purpose of this expedition includes training personnel, consolidating and extending U.S. sovereignty over Antarctic areas, and possible base sites. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd was designated as Officer-in-Charge of the project. Task Force Commander was Captain R. H. Cruzenl”.
USS Philippine Sea Aircraft Carrier
On December 2, 1946, Task Force 68 set sail for the Antarctic continent with a force of 13 ships carrying some 4,700 men, and aircraft carrier the USS Philippine Sea. The Central Group of ships reached the Bay of Whales on January 15, 1947 and planned to stay for six months where they constructed temporary runways along the glaciers, in a base dubbed Little Americana II. One Navy reconnaissance aircraft was flown by Lt. Bunger who flew west with cameras humming. Suddenly the men in the cockpit saw a dark spot come up over the barren white horizon and as they drew closer, they couldn’t believe their eyes. Byrd later described it as a “land of blue and green lakes and brown hills in an otherwise limitless expanse of ice”. Bunger and his men carefully inspected the region and then raced back to the ship to tell the others of their discovery.
Antarctic Lake
The intelligence report revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base. They encountered a mysterious UFO force that attacked the military expedition destroying several ships and a significant number of planes. Indeed, Operation Highjump had suffered “many casualties” as stated in initial press reports from Chile.
Many Navy aircraft were shot down in the one-sided battle that the Navy claims never happened.
Reports claim disc shape craft came out of the sea coming through the ice attacking some of the ships and aircraft. Commander Graham Bethune and other Navy personnel claim the task force encountered ‘heavy resistance’ and that there was a battle between American and UFO forces operating there, with losses on both sides. The piston engine Navy aircraft were no match for the modern German disc aircraft and allegedly at least one destroyer was sunk.

The Navy admitted four personnel were killed along with numerous injuries The intelligence report, revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base. They encountered a mysterious UFO force that attacked the military expedition destroying several ships and a significant number of planes. Indeed, Operation Highjump had suffered “many casualties” as stated in initial press reports from Chile. The Navy officially lists four men were killed and many injured during the two-month operation.
The Goverment According to Byrd’s “diary,” the government ordered Byrd to remain silent for what he witnessed during his Arctic assignment: March 11, 1947
“I have just attended a Staff Meeting at the Pentagon. I have stated fully my discovery and the message from the Master. All is duly recorded. The President has been advised. I am now detained for several hours (six hours, thirty- nine minutes, to be exact.) I am interviewed intently by Top Security Forces and a Medical Team. It was an ordeal!!!! I am placed under strict control via the National Security provisions of this United States of America. I am ORDERED TO REMAIN SILENT IN REGARD TO ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNED, ON THE BEHALF OF HUMANITY!!! Incredible! I am reminded that I am a Military Man, and I must obey orders.”
mans did make their mark in the South Pole. However, what they have discovered doesn’t compared to what Byrd recorded in his diary.
MCMURDO STATION, Antarctica — In recent years Bill Clinton, Britain’s Prince Harry, King Juan Carlos of Spain, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Buzz Aldrin, Tom Hanks and ‘even the Pope have visited Antarctica. A former McMurdo Station Antarctica, technician told a magazine that the scientists — aren’t afraid of getting in trouble because they have “a license to kill.” The snow melting is exposing interesting structures.
NASA’s Bill Nelson Pushes for Scientific UFO Research
Former Astronaut Bill Nelson
Bill Nelson, 78, the former Florida senator and spaceflight veteran, became the NASA Administrator on May 3, 2021. One month later, Bill Nelson s directed NASA to study UFOS (or UAPs), because he probably saw them in space… Nelson was a Payload Specialist on Space Shuttle Columbia’s STS-61-C mission from January 12 to 18, 1986. This mission was the last successful Space Shuttle flight prior to the Challenger accident, which occurred ten days after the end of this mission.
He spent 6 days 2 in space. Thus mission saw a possible UFO. STS-61C Astronaut snaps pictures of huge black triangle UFO in space! The article provides crew comments without giving names, but it is very likely Nelson saw the UFO. The crew states: ‘“I’m just being skeptical about it. I do understand that most people would like to see UFOs, or for a better term, advanced vehicles.”
TR3B Aurora
Looks like the Aurora spy plane to me, what do you think? I’ve heard it can’t reach that type of altitude. I agree….it just looks so far away…. I wish we had something to reference it…you know like something measurable… To me it looks far away and huge…but I guess it really could be something smaller and close which would fit something along the lines of paneling. You are taking some steps into perceiving the greater universe. Attaboy!! Outer space presents such different illumination and attenuation and shadowing phenomena that our earthside instincts of perceptual interpretation can mislead us — and on YouTube, usually do.
If it was an insulating tile, wouldn’t it be more of a square shape in order to fit around and cover as much surface area as possible on the ship? A few tiles have triangle shape. Nineteen tiles were missing rom shuttle upon landing.
“It’s been proposed that nano-particles could really enhance the strength of metals without damaging their plasticity, especially light metals like magnesium, but no groups have been able to disperse ceramic nano particles in molten metals until now,” said Xiaochun Li, the principal investigator on the research and Raytheon Chair in Manufacturing Engineering at UCLA.
“With an infusion of physics and materials processing, our method paves a new way to enhance the performance of many different kinds of metals by evenly infusing dense nano-particles to enhance the performance of metals to meet energy and sustainability challenges in today’s society.”
This new procedure opens the door for improving existing materials used in the aviation, space and automotive industries, among others, by including nano particles that improve their performance in extreme conditions to meet energy and sustainability challenges in today’s society.
Farthest Galaxy
Fareast Galaxy Upper Left
James Webb Space Telescope has shown the world a new image of a distant galaxy whose light it took 13.5 billion years to reach us. The dawn of a new era in astronomy has begun as the world gets its first look at the full capabilities of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data were released during a televised broadcast at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC) on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. These listed targets below represent the first wave of full-color scientific images and spectra the observatory has gathered, and the official beginning of Webb’s general science operations. They were selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
These first images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope demonstrate Webb at its full power, ready to begin its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and aviators who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.

Sightings are from MUFON CMS
Arizona Lights
Tonalea on July 22, 2022, we looked up and thought it was a shooting star but it didn’t change at all. It was a long string of lights that were at an angle but didn’t fly in an angle. It went straight across the sky and never faded or changed. The lights reminded me of white Christmas lights, but they didn’t twinkle.
California Object

Colorado Light
Fort Garland on July 22, 2022, craft itself was dark, and did not reflect. Looked super low and slow, with 12 port holes. Felt like I was on display. I had my laser pointer on and I got Lazard back. I was able to capture a light trail in one photo.
Connecticut Object
Stratfordon July 15, 2022, observed a black object high overhead in a cloudless sky. Object remained fixed in position at roughly 50,000 feet. Used my Galaxy 10 to get 16 pictures and each object is a totally different shape. It appears to be a portal as it disappeared instantly.
Florida Disc and Lights
Sanderson on July 16, 2022, we were driving through the forest near a lake ‘took a picture. ‘I noticed something in the image and zoomed in and it looked like a UFO, so I quickly took another but nothing there. My son caught the image too.

Kansas Orbs
Leavenworth on November 11, 2021, I saw 9 orbs flying in formation toward a flight of F-16’s during the Annual Veterans Day Parade. Prior to the flyby I witnessed the orbs forming into various groups. At least six orbs were in a three by two formation. After passing the flyby they formed a four-point formation then all of them disappeared to the west at a great speed.
Update– July 23, 2022: The video taken by the witness has been clipped to the time when the objects passed by the jets. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Missouri Object
Mountain Grove on June 28, 2022, I was out in my back yard to take some photos of the sun. Looking thru the pictures I took I noticed a flying object in 2 of the photos taken. The second photo taken at 1:00 it has changed direction and is on the left side of the sun.
New Jersey Lights
Maple Shade on July 17, 2022, it was moving sideways at 1 am as a red light but flashed a bright white or blue. It would move up and down. I got a little scared because the UFO would come towards me. When it came close it shined real bright. I’m still in awe.
New York Object
Haverstraw on July 14 , 2022, anomalous silent object seemed to change shape. No blinking lights but seemed to have a fixed bright light or may have been reflection from the su.
North Carolina Orb
Nagsheadon July 20, 2022, see the video seen in multiple cameras.
South Carolina Lights
Spartanburg July 18, 2022, we saw these lights at about 10:30 PM off of Carolina Country Club Road. The objects were moving east out of the woods behind our home. These were not meteors. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Texas Object
While on June 12, 2022,. I like to take images of birds and saw the object for a few minutes that I thought was moving like a balloon. I noticed the Sun making it shine on the outside and it appeared to be spinning. The out- side was gray and each side had a different shape and a white circle in the middle..
Virginia Object
On July 6, 2022, I have an interesting way of taking videos of aliens. I start by calling them in saying ancient space words Marc Brinkerhoff has taught: “Adonai Vasu Barragas, Ahum Sah-bah Sinmah Nurem, Ne Selnik Mu Shulmac Tublia Nic Tu Nah and Sha-Neh-Ki Tah-Kah Takeh Thumie.” I then point my camera towards the sky and start taking my videos, indiscriminately. I am taking videos of only a small portion of the sky, but I feel the ETs will pose for me. I go and put the videos on my computer. I send love, gratitude and reverence and thank the ETs for showing up. Thanks to Dan Johnson to the honor and glory of God,
Washington D.C. Lights
District of Columbia May 7, 2021, I felt as if something was around, I could feel it in my gut, then captured this action and took a photo

Put another way, a young person in the U.S. is nearly 11 times as likely to die in a swimming pool than in a school shooting. Few public officials would say pools are doing a poor job protecting swimmers, but the statistics suggest that we need “more lifeguards at pools, as opposed to guards at schools,” Fox said
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
CAUTION MOST OF THESE ARE INITIAL REPORTS AND REQUIRE FURTHER INVESTIGATION. If you wish to stop receiving these files, please send a message to Majorstar@verizon.net.

Galactic wagon wheel! James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning new infrared image of the Cartwheel Galaxy and its central black hole 500 million light-years from Earth
Galactic wagon wheel!James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning new infrared image of the Cartwheel Galaxy and its central black hole 500 million light-years from Earth
James Webb Space Telescope has peered into chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy's central black hole
The stunning image provides new view of how Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years
The Cartwheel Galaxy, located about 500 million light-years away, is a rare sight
It has been carrying out scientific operations for less than a month but NASA's James Webb is once again wowing with its view of the universe.
The super space telescope has now peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy's central black hole.
Its powerful infrared gaze produced a detailed image of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies.
Located about 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation, the Cartwheel Galaxy is a rare sight.
Its appearance, much like that of the wheel of a wagon, is the result of an intense event — a high-speed collision between a large spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy not visible in this image.
Other telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, have previously examined the Cartwheel.
But the dramatic galaxy has been shrouded in mystery — perhaps literally, given the amount of dust that obscures the view.
Fireworks: The James Webb Space Telescope is once again wowing with its view of the universe. It has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy (pictured), revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy's central black hole
This image from Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) shows a group of galaxies, including a large distorted ring-shaped galaxy known as the Cartwheel
INSTRUMENTS ON THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE
NIRCam (Near InfraRed Camera) an infrared imager from the edge of the visible through the near infrared
NIRSpec (Near InfraRed Spectrograph) will also perform spectroscopy over the same wavelength range.
MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument) will measure the mid-to-long-infrared wavelength range from 5 to 27 micrometers.
FGS/NIRISS (Fine Guidance Sensor and Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph), is used to stabilise the line-of-sight of the observatory during science observations.
Webb, with its ability to detect infrared light, now uncovers new insights into the nature of the Cartwheel.
The Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), Webb's primary imager, looks in the near-infrared range from 0.6 to 5 microns, seeing crucial wavelengths of light that can reveal even more stars than observed in visible light.
This is because young stars, many of which are forming in the outer ring, are less obscured by the presence of dust when observed in infrared light. In this image, NIRCam data are colored blue, orange, and yellow.
The galaxy displays many individual blue dots, which are individual stars or pockets of star formation.
NIRCam also reveals the difference between the smooth distribution or shape of the older star populations and dense dust in the core compared to the clumpy shapes associated with the younger star populations outside of it.
The $10 billion (£7.4 billion) observatory's image also provides a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.
Collisions of galactic proportions cause a cascade of different, smaller events between the galaxies involved; the Cartwheel is no exception.
The collision most notably affected the galaxy's shape and structure.
The Cartwheel Galaxy sports two rings — a bright inner ring and a surrounding, colorful ring. These rings expand outwards from the center of the collision, like ripples in a pond after a stone is tossed into it.
Because of these distinctive features, astronomers call this a 'ring galaxy', a structure less common than spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
The bright core contains a tremendous amount of hot dust with the brightest areas being the home to gigantic young star clusters.
On the other hand, the outer ring, which has expanded for about 440 million years, is dominated by star formation and supernovas. As this ring expands, it plows into surrounding gas and triggers star formation.
Webb's infrared capabilities allow it to 'see back in time' to the Big Bang, which happened 13.8 billion years ago. Light waves move extremely fast, about 186,000 miles (300,000 km) per second, every second. The further away an object is, the further back in time we are looking. This is because of the time it takes light to travel from the object to us

Learning finer details about the dust that inhabits the galaxy, however, requires Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
MIRI data are coloured red in this composite image, revealing regions within the Cartwheel Galaxy rich in hydrocarbons and other chemical compounds, as well as silicate dust, like much of the dust on Earth.
These regions form a series of spiraling spokes that essentially form the galaxy’s skeleton.
The spokes are evident in previous Hubble observations released in 2018, but they become much more prominent in this Webb image.
While Webb gives us a snapshot of the current state of the Cartwheel, it also provides insight into what happened to this galaxy in the past and how it will evolve in the future.
Last month the telescope's dazzling, unprecedented images of a 'stellar nursery', dying star cloaked by dust and a 'cosmic dance' between a group of galaxies were revealed to the world for the first time.
It put an end to months of waiting and feverish anticipation as people across the globe were treated to the first batch of a treasure trove of images that will culminate in the earliest ever look at the dawn of the universe.
Webb's infrared capabilities mean it can 'see back in time' to within a mere 100-200 million years of the Big Bang, allowing it to snap pictures of the very first stars to shine in the universe more than 13.5 billion years ago.
Its first images of nebulae, an exoplanet and galaxy clusters triggered huge celebration in the scientific world, on what was hailed a 'great day for humanity'.
Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies' masses, ages, histories and compositions, as Webb seeks to explore the earliest galaxies in the universe.
The James Webb Telescope: NASA's $10 billion telescope is designed to detect light from the earliest stars and galaxies
The James Webb telescope has been described as a 'time machine' that could help unravel the secrets of our universe.
The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago, and observe the sources of stars, exoplanets, and even the moons and planets of our solar system.
The vast telescope, which has already cost more than $7 billion (£5 billion), is considered a successor to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope
The James Webb Telescope and most of its instruments have an operating temperature of roughly 40 Kelvin – about minus 387 Fahrenheit (minus 233 Celsius).
It is the world's biggest and most powerful orbital space telescope, capable of peering back 100-200 million years after the Big Bang.
The orbiting infrared observatory is designed to be about 100 times more powerful than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope.
NASA likes to think of James Webb as a successor to Hubble rather than a replacement, as the two will work in tandem for a while.
The Hubble telescope was launched on April 24, 1990, via the space shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
It circles the Earth at a speed of about 17,000mph (27,300kph) in low Earth orbit at about 340 miles in altitude.
James Webb Space Telescope maakt foto van ringvormig Karrenwielstelsel
NASA, het Europees ruimtevaartagentschap ESA en de Canadese ruimtevaartorganisatie CSA hebben een nieuwe foto gepubliceerd die afkomstig is van de James Webb Space Telescope. Het betreft een composietfoto van het aparte Karrenwielstelsel, dat zich op zo’n 500 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde bevindt.
Het Karrenwielstelsel was volgens de ruimtevaartorganisaties tot nu toe altijd een beetje in nevelen gehuld door de grote hoeveelheden stof. Hubble heeft voorheen ook naar dit sterrenstelsel gekeken, maar bijvoorbeeld de ‘spaken’ in het wiel zijn veel beter zichtbaar op de nieuwe afbeelding. Hubble is dan ook veel minder dan James Webb gespecialiseerd in het infrarode deel van het spectrum en die specifieke capaciteit is nodig om door stof heen te kijken.
De verschillende instrumenten van de James Webb-telescoop brengen een aantal zaken aan het licht. Zo zijn individuele sterren en sterrenvormingsregio’s in het sterrenstelsel te zien en is in het centrum het gedrag van een zwart gat zichtbaar. De afbeelding is een composiet, een samenstelling van data van de Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) en het Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
De data van James Webb maken eens te meer duidelijk dat het Karrenwielstelsel zich in een overgangsfase bevindt. Het was vermoedelijk ooit een normaal sterrenstelsel zoals de Melkweg, maar in het verleden was er een botsing op hoge snelheid tussen een groot spiraalstelsel en een klein sterrenstelsel dat niet zichtbaar is op de afbeelding. Door de botsing zijn de vorm en structuur veranderd; er is sprake van twee ringen en astronomen noemen het dan ook een ringsterrenstelsel. Vorige maand publiceerden de ruimtevaartorganisaties de eerste vijf afbeeldingen van James Webb.
