A Dwarf Galaxy Passed Close to the Milky Way and Left Ripples in its Wake
A Dwarf Galaxy Passed Close to the Milky Way and Left Ripples in its Wake
When you imagine the collision of galaxies, you probably think of something violent and transformational. Spiral arms ripped apart, stars colliding, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria. The reality is much less dramatic. As a recent study shows, our galaxy is in a collision right now.
Although the big collision between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy is still yet to come, our galaxy has undergone galactic collisions in the past. The most well-understood collision is that between the Milky Way and the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. This small galaxy first impacted the Milky Way about 6 billion years ago and may have triggered the star-forming period that produced our Sun.

But collisions on a galactic scale are slow and tedious. Over billions of years, the core of the Sagittarius galaxy has struck the Milky Way a few times as it is gradually ripped apart. It can now be seen as arcs of stars encircling our galaxy. It stands to reason that such an ancient collision is long over, but this recent study shows it still has ripple effects on the Milky Way. Literally.
The team used data from the Gaia spacecraft and looked at the motion of stars near the outer edge of the Milky Way. The velocities of these stars showed a rippled distribution of motion, created by Sagittarius the way a dropped stone might trigger ripples on a pond. Overall the stars at the outer edge of the Milky Way are not in gravitational equilibrium, which is a fancy way of saying our galaxy is still feeling the effects of the collision.
The team was surprised by the level of detail the Gaia data provided. By measuring the positions of more than two billion stars, and the motions of more than 30 million, Gaia has given the team a kind of galactic seismology that can be used to trace the dynamic history and evolution of the Milky Way.
Galactic collisions are dramatic on cosmic scales. They are a central process of galactic evolution that can trigger star formation, black hole mergers, and the formation of large elliptical galaxies. But as this latest work shows, on a human scale, it’s all just another day for life on Earth.

Watch as a football game in Post Falls ends and people head out to the parking lot when one person noticed some strange lights in the sky. The lights were lined up and a few of them were huge. So huge that it was the size of a city bus. Some may say oh...its Starlink, but hell no! It's not, these are huge glowing lights in the sky, they are not moving forward, but sitting there in the same exact position. Starlink would move forward in a straight line. This doesn't move forward but holds position. This is 100% proof of UFOs over Idaho.

This awesome sighting of a dark UFO was recorded earlier this week but reported today. The UFO was seen over the local Walmart and moved slowly across the sky. The object looks to be as big as a 747, but this is no typical aircraft because there are no aircraft lights. This is a rare and detailed video of a real UFO over Alabama.

Eyewitness states:
I was sitting in my car in the Walmart parking lot finishing up a smoke listening to a great song. I had my windows open and hear a whirl faint at first, grew louder. I didn’t know where it was coming from. Sounded like all around. For some reason I looked up straight at it. I knew what it was immediately. I started videoing with my cell phone while in the car but wasn’t happy with the clarity. I got out and it was pretty clear and you could really hear the whirling and hum.i looked around to see if anyone else was watching it, no one was so I turned back and it was gone. And so was the sound it was making. I put my smoke out and went inside the store.

This just in. An eyewitness just reported two UFO orbs they saw while fishing at the mouth of the Estuary facing the sea in the UK. The lights came within 500 feet of the eyewitnesses and pulsated with different colors. They moved from the cliffs to the sea...only to disappear out in the ocean. I believe they dived below the surface to return to an underwater base off the ocean side of Teignmouth.

Eyewitness states:
Me and a friend were fishing in the evening on June 16th, in Teignmouth just on the mouth of the estuary facing out at sea, when we both Spotted some bright lights in the sky that looked about 500 ft away from us. They made no sound at all. They were pulsating different colours and hovering through the air very slowly. They moved from the cliff side near the trees, south facing towards the pier side south east facing. The lights were reflecting off the sea water and the 2 orb like objects started to separate and move closer towards each other. It lasted about 2-3 minutes and soon both objects disappeared into the dark.

Disk-shaped alien craft at the bottom of a crater on Pluto?
A high-resolution image of Pluto taken in 2015 by New Horizons Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) in “ride-along” mode with the LEISA spectrometer shows a region called 'the dark, forbidding region informally known as Cthulhu Regio, and the mysterious, possibly cryovolcanic edifice Wright Mons.'
Among the many notable details, is a saucer-shaped object with on top a cylindrical tube located at the bottom of a crater.
It doesn't appear to have formed naturally, suggesting that the circular object could be the top of an extraterrestrial base built inside the crater or... maybe it's a parked disk-shaped alien craft?

Congress claims that aliens are responsible for UFOs
Congress claims that aliens are responsible for UFOs
Clear and precise definitions are crucial in Congress, where legislation is produced, discussed, and passed. Recently, politicians dramatically changed the definition of “UFO” in response to military aircrews encountering UFOs more frequently. The provocative suggestion that certain UFOs may not have human origins is crucial among them.
A draft law overwhelmingly passed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence renames UFOs as “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena,” as was initially reported by researcher Douglas Johnson. The scope of a powerful new office charged by Congress with examining UFOs is dramatically widened by expanding the term to encompass objects in space and beneath the oceans.
According to MPs, “transmedium” objects that “transition among space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and waterbodies,” are now included in the amended definition of “UFO.”
Members of a significant body focusing on national security say that unidentified objects are showing astonishingly high technology by flitting between space, air, and water. The “transmedium dangers to U. S. national security are rising rapidly,” according to a study that accompanies the legislation.
It is difficult to accept that legislators would incorporate such remarkable language in public legislation absent strong justification. Members may have access to the top-secret sensor data that led the former director of national intelligence for President Trump to claim that UFOs use “technology that we don’t have and that we are not able to fight against.”
Most startlingly, “man-made” objects are not included in Congress’s revised definition of “UFO.”
Most UFO reports during the past seven decades have involved “man-made” items, including mistaken planes, balloons, satellites, or drones. However, “man-made” objects “should not be classified under the category as unexplained aerospace-undersea phenomena,” according to Congress.
Additionally, according to a legislative instruction, any objects the new UFO office identifies “as man-made” will be sent to the proper offices of the [Department of Defense and Intelligence Community] for additional investigation.
In other words, Congress is pressuring the government to concentrate on things that aren’t “man-made.”
Assume that the new UFO office spots a cutting-edge drone operating in a restricted area of the sky. According to the proposed legislation, the UFO office must immediately cease its investigation and turn the matter over to another government agency, regardless of whether the drone is Chinese, Russian, or from anywhere else.
This shows that there is a unanimity and bipartisan agreement among members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that certain UFOs are not made by humans. After all, Congress would not have established and given authority to a powerful new office to investigate non-“man-made” UFOs.
Make no mistake, the suggestion that UFOs may not have originated from humans by a part of the American government is a dangerous development.
Additionally, it is a part of a striking shift in government perceptions about UFOs.
Many high-ranking government officials thought that UFOs originated from “interplanetary” systems in the late 1940s and early 1950s. However, a string of inexplicable meetings in the summer of 1952 gave rise to concerns about Cold War national security among the military and intelligence services. As a response, the American government launched a drive to “debunk” and refute all UFO reports, regardless of how reliable they were. Officials ridiculed any claims that UFOs originated from other planets for many years.
NASA administrator Bill Nelson has asserted in conversations and interviews that UFOs seen by military aircrews in recent years may have extraterrestrial origins.
Avril Haines, director of national intelligence and America’s top spy, has not ruled out the possibility that UFOs had alien origins, despite the fact that Top Gun-trained pilots continue to believe they saw things that were “not of this world.”
In addition, when asked about UFOs, former President Clinton automatically brings up the high probability of extraterrestrial life existing in the cosmos. When questioned about recent military UFO sightings, former President Obama freely hypothesized about contact with alien species.
When the issue of “UFOs” was brought up, both Clinton and Obama assumed a somber, matter-of-fact approach after the normal chuckles and smirks subsided. A television audience was chastised by Clinton in particular for laughing when a broadcaster quizzed him on UFOs. It is noteworthy that previous presidents still receive the most exclusive intelligence briefings from the government.
Unsurprisingly, this amazing change in perceptions about UFOs is encouraging a more extensive and in-depth study of the topic.
For instance, political journalist and comedian Bill Maher recently proposed the theory that UFOs deliberately make themselves known to military pilots.
Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter for the latest UFO videos & photos.
He could have a point. The well-known 2015 UFO contact off the U.S. East Coast’s geometrically rebuilt flight path shows that the object reacted when a Navy fighter jet tried to sneak up behind it. The movement of the item was significant since it suggested curiosity about the aircrew instead of animosity, who finally “flew right up to the thing.”
A UFO connected to the now-famous 2004 “Tic Tac” episodes showed up on radar precisely where a meeting point that was only known to a select number of pilots and radar operators was located. Ten years later, a UFO was hovering at the precise position and height of the entrance to a military training range when two fighter aircraft almost crashed with it.
To Maher’s point, some UFOs seem to maneuver and position themselves in a way that alerts adjacent military aircrews to their existence.
This conduct is particularly noteworthy given that Congress has openly suggested that UFOs have extraterrestrial origins.
This UFO sighting video was filmed in the sky above Teignmouth, a seaside town, fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon on 16th June 2022.

Me and a friend were fishing in the evening on June 16th, in Teignmouth just on the mouth of the estuary facing out at sea, when we both Spotted some bright lights in the sky that looked about 500 ft away from us.

The Moon was Pummeled by Asteroids at the Same Time the Dinosaurs Died. Coincidence?
The Moon was Pummeled by Asteroids at the Same Time the Dinosaurs Died. Coincidence?
It only takes a quick look at the Moon to see its impact-beaten surface. There are craters everywhere. Some of those impact sites apparently date back to the same time some very large asteroids were whacking Earth. One of them formed Chixculub Crater under the Yucatan Peninsula. That impact set in motion catastrophic events that wiped out much of life on Earth,including the dinosaurs.
Did some of the craters on the Moon form from the same asteroid swarm that impacted Earth and precipitated the demise of the dinosaurs? Chang’e 5 samples from specific craters on the Moon seem to show that this could well have happened.
That’s the conclusion a group of Australian scientists came to after studying glass beads from the Moon. They outlined their findings in a paper about the science they performed on samples picked up from the Moon by the Chang’e 5 Lunar mission. The beads were created by the heat and pressure caused by meteoritic impacts on the Moon. The lead author of the paper, Professor Alexander Nemchin, from Curtin University’s Space Science and Technology Centre (SSTC) in the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said the findings imply that the timing and frequency of asteroid impacts on the Moon may have been mirrored on Earth. If so then the find tells us more about the history of the evolution of our own planet.
“We combined a wide range of microscopic analytical techniques, numerical modeling, and geological surveys to determine how these microscopic glass beads from the Moon were formed and when,” Professor Nemchin said. “We found that some of the age groups of the lunar glass beads coincide precisely with the ages of some of the largest terrestrial impact crater events, including the Chicxulub impact crater responsible for the dinosaur extinction event.”

Looking at the Earth/Moon Asteroid Bombardment Coincidence
The team looked at the idea that large impacts, such as the Chixculub event, were accompanied by smaller impacts. The event that led to Chixculub’s formation happened about 66 million years ago. If the “big one” aimed at Chixculub had company, then it’s a good idea to look at the Moon, too. The ages and frequencies of impacts on the Moon around the same time might give clues to bombardments on Earth and the other inner solar system planets.
The death of the dinosaurs is one of the most fascinating stories to spring from Earth’s ancient geological history. The story goes (and there’s geological evidence to back it up) that an impact was certainly part of the story. Some 65 million years ago, Earth was basking in the Cretaceous period. Dinosaurs had been roaming the planet for about 165 million years. They still reigned across the globe along with some of the earliest mammals and other forms of life. However, the number of dinosaur species was starting to shrink. At the same time, some pretty severe volcanic eruptions were affecting Earth’s atmosphere and surface.
That Asteroid Likely Had Company
The asteroid that set off the extinction, not just of dinosaurs, but other species, left behind evidence. It’s in the form of a layer of iridium in geological strata around the world. That layer dates back to around 66 million years ago. Asteroids are rich in iridium. Finding it provided “smoking gun” evidence something from space helped hasten the demise of 75 percent of life on Earth way back then. At the same time the Chicxulub impactor hit, something excavated several other craters around the planet. This suggests that multiple impactors—possibly from the same parent asteroid—smacked into Earth, too. So, it’s not a big leap to find evidence of impacts on the Moon from objects in the same asteroid swarm.
Co-author Associate Professor Katarina Miljkovic, also from Curtin’s SSTC, said future comparative studies of the lunar samples could also add to our store of knowledge about the Moon’s geological history. “The next step would be to compare the data gleaned from these Chang’e-5 samples with other lunar soils and crater ages to be able to uncover other significant Moon-wide impact events which might, in turn, reveal new evidence about what impacts may have affected life on Earth,” she said.
So, the death of the dinosaurs and the mysterious glass beads are likely related. They both speak to a larger bombardment event that involved both Earth and the Moon.
A Computer Algorithm is 88% Accurate in Finding Gravitational Lenses
A Computer Algorithm is 88% Accurate in Finding Gravitational Lenses
Astronomers have been assessing a new machine learning algorithm to determine how reliable it is for finding gravitational lenses hidden in images from all sky surveys. This type of AI was used to find about 5,000 potential gravitational lenses, which needed to be confirmed. Using spectroscopy for confirmation, the international team has now determined the technique has a whopping 88% success rate, which means this new tool could be used to find thousands more of these magical quirks of physics.
“These lenses are very small so if you have fuzzy images, you’re not going to really be able to detect them,” said Dr. Kim-Vy Tran, from the ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3-Dimensions (ASTRO3D) and the University of NSW (UNSW), who led the study. “Our spectroscopy allowed us to map a 3D picture of the gravitational lenses to show they are genuine and not merely chance superposition.”

Each panel includes the confirmed distance to the foreground galaxy (zdef) and distant background galaxy (zsrc).Credit: ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3-Dimensions (ASTRO3D) and the University of NSW (UNSW).
Scientists say that gravitational lenses could transform our ability to chart the evolution of galaxies since the Big Bang. This type of lensing occurs when light from a distant object is distorted by a closer massive object along the same line of sight. This distortion effectively creates a giant lens which magnifies the background light source, allowing astronomers to observe objects embedded within those lens-created arcs and rings that are otherwise be too far and too dim to see.
Gravitational lenses are a great tool for astronomy. Not only do gravitational lenses reveal distant objects like galaxies, but it can also provide information about how far away these galaxies are. Additionally, analyzing the nature of gravitational lensing patterns tells astronomers about the way dark matter is distributed within galaxies. It also provides a way to investigate both the development of structure in the universe and the expansion of the universe.
Tran and colleagues assessed 77 of the 5,000 candidate lenses using the Keck Observatory in Hawai’i and Very Large Telescope in Chile. They confirmed that 68 out of the 77 are strong gravitational lenses spanning vast cosmic distances. This suggests that the algorithm is reliable enough to find thousands of new gravitational lenses. To date, gravitational lenses have been hard to find and only about a hundred are routinely used.
“Never did we dream that the success rate would be so high,” said professor Karl Glazebrook from Swinburne, and co-Science Lead on the paper, in a press release. “Now we are getting images of these lenses with the Hubble Space Telescope, they range from jaw-droopingly beautiful to extremely strange images that will take us considerable effort to figure out.”
The work is part of the ASTRO 3D Galaxy Evolution with Lenses (AGEL) survey. Tran said their goal now with AGEL is to spectroscopically confirm around 100 strong gravitational lenses that can be observed from both the northern and southern hemispheres throughout the year.

Watch this fantastic recording of a UFO that not only noticed some Thunderbird jets performing for the audience below, but also decided to participate itself and show how much faster these UFOs are compared to the jets. The UFO is seen flying towards the jets from the distance and then it flys alongside them, only to suddenly pass them and move out ahead of them. I am sure the pilots must have seen this object shooting around. Its impossible for a pilot not to notice something like this shooting around them. The alien pilot of this UFO clearly does have an ego and was catering to it today.

Watch this drone footage as it catches a micro UFO shooting below it. The UFO is small, however size matters little when alien tech is involved. Alien drones can be any size, even so small they can swim in a persons bloodstream. Anyone who doubts such things clearly is new in the area of UFO research. This is rare and fantastic proof that aliens are highly interested in all flying tech...even our drones.

Watch NASA's DART spacecraft smashes into asteroid Dimorphos
Watch NASA's DART spacecraft smashes into asteroid Dimorphos
On Sept. 26, 2022, at 7:14 pm EDT, DART intentionally crashed into Dimorphos, the asteroid moonlet in the double-asteroid system of Didymos. It was the world’s first test of the kinetic impact mitigation technique, using a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid that poses no threat to Earth, and modifying the object’s orbit. DART is a test for defending Earth against potential asteroid or comet hazards.
See the final moments of the spacecraft's existence. NASA's DART spacecraft slams into 'moonlet' in asteroid system.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft beamed back its final moments before colliding with the asteroid Dimorphos in an attempt to change its orbit.
The dramatic impact expelled a cloud of dust and turned the asteroid into a type of comet. First Images from Italian Space Agency’s LICIACube Satellite mage captured by the Italian Space Agency’s LICIACube a few minutes after the intentional collision of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission with its target asteroid, Dimorphos.
NASA's Hubble and James Webb space telescopes captured imagery of the aftermath from impact.
Amazing that NASA is able to crash a small spacecraft into a "space rock" which is just only 170 meters (560 ft) in diameter and 10.6 million km (6.6 million miles) from Earth as a test for defending Earth against potential asteroid or comet hazards or... a test for defending Earth against potential alien spaceships that may approach Earth in the near future?

UFO sighting filmed from a plane over Los Angeles, CA 19-Sep-2022
Check out this interesting UFO footage that was filmed from a plane over Los Angeles in California on 19th September 2022.
Witness report:
Flying fro Houston to Los Angeles, California. While approaching LA (before cabin lights were turned on), I noticed two stacked red cubes, one on top the other, as I sat on the left side of plane in the window seat row 8. Nose of the plane pointing Towards the ocean. Thinking they were helicopters I did not pay much more attention to them. I did however think they were helicopters heading south/ southwest. Like I said, I did not think to much of it. The announcement came over the intercom saying we’re we’re preparing to land and the cabin lights came on. Looking out the window again I notice the lights again. Still bright red and still stacked. But this time I noticed they were still in the same spot! Very curious now, I begin to rub on the window to make sure it was not an optical allusion. I also looked at it through upper , lower, left and right sides of the window to be sure that the double window pane was not causing an optical allusion. At this point we’re about 20 minutes from landing so I decided to begin Video with my I phone. In the video I try to zoom in and out, trying to get the best picture but the cabin light causes problems as you will see in the first couple of minutes but last few seconds I captured the stacked two bright red cubes morphed into one bright red circular ball(I thought I saw yellow in there as well). At this point I was amazed to se it fade into nothing. IT JUST DISAPPEARED!
Creatures of the Land, Sea and Heavens: Ancient Beliefs in Animal Counterparts
Creatures of the Land, Sea and Heavens: Ancient Beliefs in Animal Counterparts
Until the Age of Enlightenment, it was widely believed that every land creature had its counterpart in the sea (and perhaps even in the heavens). The classic example of this belief is the horse, which in the sea is a seahorse and in the heavens is Pegasus. This debate was waged by some of history’s intellectual heavy weights including Pliny the Elder, Saint Augustine of Hippo, and Sir Thomas Brown. There are even said to be allusions to the issue in the Biblical Book of Job. The belief in marine counterparts on land transcended the religious divisions and was shared by pagans, Christians, and Muslims alike. Unfortunately, such unity of thought was proven to be quite wrong upon a careful examination of the world’s animal and marine life.
The belief that land animals had counterparts in the sea has long been common among the laity. The first person to really articulate the logic of this notion was Pliny the Elder (23 AD – 79 AD) in his encyclopedic Natural History, written in 77 AD. In Book IX (out of 37) Pliny discusses the Natural History of Fishes. In the opening chapter he writes:
“These seeds and first principles of being are so utterly conglomerated and so involved, the one with the other, from being whirled to and fro, now by the action of the winds and now by the waves. Hence it is that the vulgar notion may very possibly be true, that whatever is produced in any other department of Nature, is to be found in the sea as well; while, at the same time, many other productions are there to be found which nowhere else exist. That there are to be found in the sea the forms, not only of terrestrial animals, but of inanimate objects even, is easily to be understood by all who will take the trouble to examine the grape-fish, the sword-fish, the sawfish, and the cucumber-fish, which last so strongly resembles the real cucumber both in color and in smell. We shall find the less reason than to be surprised to find that in so small an object as a shell-fish the head of the horse is to be seen protruding from the shell.”
Pliny the Elder, as imagined by a 19th-century artist.
Pliny’s writings doubtless inspired the unknown author of Physiologus, a didactic Christian text written in 2nd century AD Alexandria. This beautifully illustrated book was one of the most copied manuscripts in Medieval Europe. In it, the author describes various animals, birds, and fish and also gives the moral function of each. Some, such as the Phoenix and Pelican, are good and represent Jesus.
Others, such as the Fox and the Whale, are evil and represent the devil. The allegories for the Fox and the Whale are as follows:
“The fox represents the devil, who pretends to be dead to those who retain their worldly ways, and only reveals himself when he has them in his jaws. To those with perfect faith, the devil is truly dead.” (The Medieval Bestiary, 2011)
These descriptions contributed to the popular science of bestiary in the Middle Ages. The trend supported the superstition that animals on land and sea were paired. If anyone needed further proof, they would be directed to this passage from the Book of Job, which was believed to reveal God’s divine will in designing symmetry among his creations: But ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being.”(Job
Sir Thomas Browne, a British naturalist writing in the 17th century, put an end to the matter in the short but scathing Chapter 24 of his Pseudodoxia Epidemica or Enquiries into very many received tenets and commonly presumed truths, also known simply as Pseudodoxia Epidemica or Vulgar Errors. Browne writes:
“That all Animals of the Land, are in their kind in the Sea, although received as a principle, is a tenet very questionable, and will admit of restraint. For some in the Sea are not to be matched by any enquiry at Land, and hold those shapes which terrestrial forms approach not; as may be observed in the Moon fish, or Orthragoriscus, the several sorts of Rays, Torpedos, Oysters, and many more, and some there are in the Land which were never maintained to be in the Sea, as Panthers, Hyenas, Camels, Sheep, Molls, and others … And therefore, although it be not denied that some in the water do carry a justifiable resemblance to some at Land, yet are the major part which bear their names unlike; nor do they otherwise resemble the creatures on earth, then they on earth the constellations which pass under animal names in heaven: nor the Dog-fish at Sea much more make out the Dog of the Land, then that his cognominal or name-sake in the heavens.”(Browne, 1672)

Today, there is little doubt that land and sea animals are distinct. This reflects the progress the natural sciences have made over the last 2000 years.

Astronomers have been so keen to use the new James Webb Space Telescope that some have got a little ahead of themselves. Many started analysing Webb data right after the first batch was released, on 14 July, and quickly posted their results on preprint servers — but are now having to revise them. The telescope’s detectors had not been calibrated thoroughly when the first data were made available, and that fact slipped past some astronomers in their excitement.
The revisions don’t so far appear to substantially change many of the exciting early results, such as the discovery of a number of candidates for the most distant galaxy ever spotted. But the ongoing calibration process is forcing astronomers to reckon with the limitations of early data from Webb.
Figuring out how to redo the work is “thorny and annoying”, says Marco Castellano, an astronomer at the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics in Rome. “There’s been a lot of frustration,” says Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “I don’t think anybody really expected this to be as big of an issue as it’s becoming,” adds Guido Roberts-Borsani, an astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Calibration is particularly challenging for projects that require precise measurements of the brightness of astronomical objects, such as faint, faraway galaxies. For several weeks, some astronomers have been cobbling together workarounds so that they can continue their analyses1. The next official round of updates to Webb’s calibrations are expected in the coming weeks from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, which operates the telescope. Those updates should shrink the error bars on the telescope’s calibrations from the tens of percentage points that have been bedevilling astronomers in some areas, down to just a few percentage points. And data accuracy will continue to improve as calibration efforts proceed over the coming months.
This is the first scientific image released from the Webb telescope publicly, on 11 July, showing a deep-field look at the sky that includes a number of distant galaxies.

The STScI made it clear that the initial calibrations to the telescope were rough, says Jane Rigby, operations project scientist for Webb at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Much of the issue stems from the fact that Webb, which launched in December 2021, is a new telescope whose details are still being worked out. “It’s been a long time since the community has had a brand-new telescope in space — a big one with these amazingly transformative powers,” Rigby says.
“We knew it wasn’t going to be perfect right out of the box,” says Martha Boyer, an astronomer at the STScI who is helping to lead the calibration efforts2.
Calibration controversy
All telescopes need to be calibrated. This is usually done by observing a well-understood star such as Vega, a prominent star in the night sky. Astronomers look at the data being collected by the telescope’s various instruments — such as the brightness of the star in different wavelengths of light — and compare them with measurements of the same star from other telescopes and of laboratory standards.
Working with Webb data involves several types of calibration, but the current controversy is around one of the telescope’s main instruments, its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). In the six months after Webb launched, STScI researchers worked to calibrate NIRCam. But given the demands on Webb, they had only enough time to point it at one or two calibration stars, and to take data using just one of NIRCam’s ten detectors. They then estimated the calibrations for the other nine detectors. “That’s where there was a problem,” Boyer says. “Each detector will be a little bit different.”
Within days of the first Webb data release, non-peer-reviewed papers began appearing on the arXiv preprint server, reporting multiple candidates for the most distant galaxy ever recorded. These studies relied on the brightness of distant objects, measured with Webb at various wavelengths. Then, on 29 July, the STScI released an updated set of calibrations that were substantially different from what astronomers had been working with.
“This caused a little bit of panic,” says Nathan Adams, an astronomer at the University of Manchester, UK, who, along with his colleagues, pointed out the problem in a 9 August update to a preprint they had posted in late July3. “For those including myself who had written a paper within the first two weeks, it was a bit of — ‘Oh no, is everything that we’ve done wrong, does it all need to go in the bin?’”
A young observatory
To try to standardize all the measurements, the STScI is working through a detailed plan to point Webb at several types of well-understood star, and observe them with every detector in every mode for every instrument on the telescope4. “It just takes a while,” says Karl Gordon, an astronomer at the STScI who helps lead the effort.
In the meantime, astronomers have been reworking manuscripts that describe distant galaxies on the basis of Webb data. “Everyone’s gone back over and had a second look, and it’s not as bad as we thought,” Adams says. Many of the most exciting distant-galaxy candidates still seem to be at or near the distance originally estimated. But other preliminary studies, such as those that draw conclusions about the early Universe by comparing large numbers of faint galaxies, might not stand the test of time. Other fields of research, such as planetary studies, are not affected as much because they depend less on these preliminary brightness measurements.
“We’ve come to realize how much this data processing is an ongoing and developing situation, just because the observatory is so new and so young,” says Gabriel Brammer, an astronomer at the University of Copenhagen who has been developing Webb calibrations independent of the STScI.
In the long run, astronomers are sure to sort out the calibration and become more confident in their conclusions. But for now, Boyer says, “I would tell people to proceed with caution — whatever results they might be getting today might not be quite right in six months, when we have more information. It’s just sort of, ‘Proceed at your own risk.’”
Hubble- en James Webb-telescopen leggen voor het eerst gelijktijdig beelden vast van DART-missie
De twee nieuwste ruimtetelescopen, de James Webb en de Hubble, hebben beelden vastgelegd van de DART-missie van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA. Daarmee is het de eerste keer dat de twee telescopen gelijktijdig zijn ingezet om hetzelfde ruimtespektakel te observeren. Dat heeft het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA bekendgemaakt.
In de nacht van 26 op 27 september slaagde NASA erin om de DART-satelliet zoals gepland in te laten slaan op de ruimterots Dimorphos, die zich op dat moment op een afstand van 11 miljoen kilometer van onze aarde bevond. De DART sloeg met een snelheid van ongeveer 6,6 km per seconde in op Dimorphos, een “maantje” van de grotere asteroïde Didymos. De bedoeling was om na te gaan of een gelijkaardige impact de baan van een asteroïde kan veranderen. Of het lukte, is nog niet bekend.

Zowel de Hubble Ruimtetelescoop als de James Webb Space Telescope keken naar de inslag. Volgens de NASA was het de eerste keer dat beide telescopen tegelijk naar eenzelfde object in de ruimte loerden. De Hubble-afbeelding toont een stervormige blauwe lichtflits tegen een zwarte achtergrond. De James Webb-foto toont een rode lichtflits tegen een donkere achtergrond, die ook stervormig is, maar groter lijkt. Het feit dat dezelfde gebeurtenis in verschillende kleuren kan worden gezien, is te wijten aan de onderscheiden technologie die in de twee telescopen wordt gebruikt.
De waarnemingen van de James Webb- en Hubble-telescopen geven wetenschappers ook meer informatie over onder meer de aard van het oppervlak van Dimorphos.
De James Webb-telescoop nam in totaal tien beelden en legde de plaats van inslag zowel voor als na de botsing vast. De telescoop observeerde het spektakel zo’n vijf uur lang.
De foto’s kunnen ook wetenschappelijke data opleveren, zegt de NASA.
De Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België is nauw bij de missie betrokken.
De Hubble nam 45 beelden. De telescoop legde de maanrots eveneens voor de inslag vast en nam vijftien minuten later nog meer beelden nadat de DART-satelliet was ingeslagen.
Het feit dat de telescopen dezelfde gebeurtenis in verschillende kleuren zien, is te wijten aan de specifieke technologie die in de twee ruimte-apparaten wordt gebruikt.
“We keken al meer dan zeventien jaar uit naar de DART-inslag en het is zo spannend om die te zien door de ogen van de grootste ruimtetelescopen Webb en Hubble. De beelden geven ons aanwijzingen over wat er in de eerste uren na de inslag is gebeurd, en er gebeurt duidelijk veel meer dan we hadden voorzien!”, reageert missiemanager Ian Carnelli enthousiast.

Flying Car Market Emerging Growth, Recent Trends, Industry Analysis, Insights, Share and Forecasts Report 2030
Flying Car Market Emerging Growth, Recent Trends, Industry Analysis, Insights, Share and Forecasts Report 2030
Rising traffic congestion in developed economies, changing urban mobility outlook, and increasing investment by market players are driving market revenue growth
According to the most recent analysis by Emergen Research, the size of the global flying car market is anticipated to reach USD 1,390.1 Million in 2030, with a consistent revenue CAGR of 58.6%. Factors driving market revenue growth include rapid urbanisation, a growing population, an increase in people’s disposable income, and an improvement in their level of living.
To build a more reliable and sustainable transportation infrastructure, urban mobility has transitioned toward digital, high-end technologies and green mobility initiatives. Additionally, the need for alternative solutions to current urban transportation problems including traffic congestion and rising air pollution is driven by rising urbanisation. As a result, automakers are focusing their efforts on developing hybrid or electric vehicles that can be utilised for both land and air travel. Additionally, as more cars are on the road, the problem of traffic congestion around the world has gotten worse. Because it increases carbon emissions, congestion is bad for the environment. Around the world, there is personal and business development of flying automobiles that can function in urban areas.
A flying automobile is a vehicle that has the ability to fly and serve as a private transportation. Another benefit, in addition to vertical takeoff and landing, is controllability. It combines the advantages of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. The most crucial characteristic of a rotary wing is its capacity for vertical takeoff and landing, while the most crucial characteristics of a constant wing are speed, efficiency, payload, range, and control.
Traffic congestion in industrialised nations is getting worse, the outlook for urban mobility is shifting, and market participants are investing more money.
The market for flying cars is changing as a result of the quick uptake of novel technologies. The desire for flying cars is being driven by the significant demand for quick, long-distance flights around the world. The adoption of new technology is a key emphasis for market players, such as the quickly developing distributed electric propulsion technology, which improves efficiency and allows for quieter takeoffs and hovers.
The high cost of production for such cars is one barrier to their wider commercialisation. These cutting-edge, contemporary, high-tech composites and alloys used to make the flying motors are more expensive since they are more difficult to obtain. Lack of a competent environmental impact research and an organised financial structure for purchasing and maintaining commodities may hurt market participants.
The market for flying cars is growing due to numerous important aspects. Because of the expanding infrastructure, the market is anticipated to expand. The other market revenue-affecting variables are people’s disposable income, changing lifestyles, and growing urbanisation. Concern is raised by the rising competition among international service and solution suppliers for flying cars. The issue of driver and vehicle safety is raised. Over the course of the projection period, the market will expand due to the rising demand for environmentally friendly automobiles.
Some of the Report’s Important Highlights
A Dutch business named PAL-V revealed plans to establish a manufacturing facility in Gujarat in March 2020. They also stated that the vehicles made there would be exported to the United States and other European nations. Carlo Maasbommel, Vice President of PAL-International V’s Business Development, and MK Das, Principal Secretary of State Industries, jointly signed a memorandum of understanding.
In 2021, the software segment accounted for a sizeable portion of sales. Major market players have found the impact of software on flying vehicles to be advantageous in terms of accessing the vehicle’s live condition and enabling digital inspection. Customers may conveniently schedule appointments for their vehicles, thus lowering their maintenance expenditures.
Due to rising demand from the urban population and improved comfort, the four-seat class contributed for a greater revenue share in 2021. This segment’s boot has enough of room for carrying bags and has excellent handling.
The autonomous segment had rapid growth during the anticipated period as consumers’ preference for these vehicles grows in response to their reduced travel time, lower emissions, and overall viability.
Major companies in the market report include AeroMobil, Boeing, Cartivator, EHang, Airbus, Terrafugia, Joby Aviation, Lilium GmbH, Volocopter GmbH, and PAL-V International B.V.
Emergen Research has segmented global flying car market on the basis of component, seating capacity, mode of operation, and region:
Component Outlook (Revenue, USD Million; 2019–2030)
Guys, I found this today and its a giant cube UFO near our sun. The object has a surface like that of a circuit board. Its very complex and 3 dimensional. Also there was another close UFO that shot past the sun at near light speed. Its image is smeared across the screen as it shoots so fast that the camera almost missed it. This is 100% proof that aliens are harvesting important scientific elements from our sun. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Unidentified flying objects or UAPs are captured by the US Navy and are often referred to as UFOs. However, since releasing the footage could threaten national security, the Navy refuses to publicize it.
The Navy’s response came after a government transparency site, The Black Vault, filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to obtain documents related to the alleged sightings.
The Black Vault filed the request in April 2020. It came a day after the Navy released three videos that showed the strange and seemingly impossible actions.
After two years, the government responded to the site and confirmed that there are still more UAP videos out there. However, it refused to provide the documents due to national security concerns.
In response to the request, the Navy stated that releasing the videos could expose the secrets of the Department of Defense and its operations. According to Gregory Cason, the Navy’s FOIA office, no portions of the videos could be segregated for release.
He stated that since the videos had already been discussed in the media, they were able to declassify them in April 2020.
In his report, Cason stated that the Navy was still able to release the videos without further damaging national security.
In its response, the Navy also stated that it did not hide the existence of other videos of UAPs.
There are still more videos of unexplained encounters involving UAPs in the Navy’s archives. However, the exact number of videos that show what happened remains unclear.
It’s also clear that the government takes the threat of UAP seriously. In May 2022, the Department of Defense held its first public hearing regarding the alleged sightings of UFOs. The hearing mainly focused on a report released by the Pentagon in June 2021.
The following month, the Department of Defense announced that it would be receiving federal funding to establish a new office focused on handling reports of UAP sightings.
According to a government assessment, “cosmic” and “phantom” UFOs are frequent in the sky over Ukraine
According to a government assessment, “cosmic” and “phantom” UFOs are frequent in the sky over Ukraine
The skies around Kiev are reportedly filled with unexplained flying objects, according to a recent assessment by the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (UFOs).
According to a U.S. intelligence organization, many of these purported UFO sightings may be military equipment that appears too briefly to be recognized given that Russia and Ukraine have been involved in a fight that predominantly uses planes and drones for months.
The report, which has not yet been subjected to peer review, was published on the preprint website arXiv and describes recent efforts made by Ukrainian astronomers to monitor quickly moving, dimly lit objects in the daytime sky over Kyiv and the adjacent villages. At two meteorological stations in Kyiv and Vinarivka, a city some 75 miles to the south, astronomers used highly calibrated cameras to find hundreds of objects “that cannot scientifically be categorized as known natural occurrences.”
The categories “cosmics” and “phantoms” were employed by the researchers to group their UAP findings. According to the study, cosmics are luminary objects that stand out more than the background sky.
Phantoms, on the other hand, are shadowy objects that generally appear to be “completely black,” as though absorbing all light that reaches them, according to the study. According to observations from the two cooperating observatories, the researchers estimated that phantoms may travel at speeds of up to 33,000 mph (53,000 km/h) and that their sizes range from 10 to 40 feet (3 to 12 meters). In contrast, an intercontinental ballistic missile may go up to 15,000 mph (24,000 km/h), according to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
The researchers made no assumptions about the potential makeup of these UFOs. Instead, the primary focus of their research is on the methods and calculations used to identify the things. However, according to a report from 2021 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) of the United States, it is likely that at least some UAPs are “technology utilized by China, Russia, another nation, or a non-governmental entity.”
Given the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, it is conceivable that some of the UAP described in the most recent study may be related to foreign monitoring or military technologies.
The ODNI report suggests that “airborne clutter,” such as birds and balloons, climatic phenomena like ice crystals, or covert government activities are additional potential drivers of UAP. Extraterrestrial visitation is not suggested by either the U.S. or the Ukraine stories.
The U.S. government has openly expressed a renewed interest in UAP investigations since 2017, when various films filmed by American Navy planes (opens in new tab) were made available to the general public. The now-famous video displayed an unknown aircraft performing irrational maneuvers without any explanation.
The Department of Defense (DOD) won’t be making these military recordings of UAP encounters public due to “national security issues,” as the government just revealed following the declassification of the film. The DOD received funding from Congress earlier this year to create a new department that would be in charge of handling all military UFO sighting claims (opens in new tab). The authors of the most recent UAP report from Ukraine claim that the National Academy of Science is eager to contribute to this ongoing investigation.
