Keep your eyes to the skies this month! Stargazers will have a once-in-a-generation chance to see a new comet at the end of January, NASA reveals

• New comet discovered in March 2022 can be spotted from Earth later this month
• Skywatchers will be able to see Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in January and February
• On February 2 it'll be at nearest position to Earth — some 26.4 million miles away
• It could be the first comet that is visible to the naked eye since NEOWISE in 2020

By SAM TONKIN FOR MAILONLINE

It's not often that stargazers get the opportunity to spot a comet with the naked eye.

But at the end of this month – or possibly the start of February – a newly-discovered space rock will whizz by our planet and light up the night sky.

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered in March last year while inside Jupiter's orbit, and will make its closest approach to the sun on January 12 and Earth on February 2.

Comets are notoriously unpredictable, but if this one continues its current trend in brightness it should be easy to spot with binoculars or a telescope.

Look up this month! C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which was discovered in March last year while inside Jupiter's orbit, will make its closest approach to the sun on January 12 and Earth on February 2 

KEY FACTS: COMET C/2022 E3

Better still, it may even be visible to the naked eye if skies are dark towards the end of the month.

If that is the case it will be the first comet that can be seen with the unaided eye since NEOWISE raced past Earth in 2020, although it won't be anywhere near as spectacular.

NEOWISE left a long, misty tail, while E3 is likely to appear as a grey streak or smudge in the night sky.

However, neither match the brightness of Hale-Bopp, which was widely seen in 1997.

Astronomers don't expect Comet C/2022 E3 to visit Earth again for at least another 50,000 years, having last been visible during the Ice Age.

In terms of passing our planet, it won't be in any way close. In fact, the nearest it will come to Earth is 26.4 million miles (42.5 million kilometres) on February 2.

Observers in the Northern Hemisphere will find the comet in the morning sky, as it moves swiftly from the northeast to northwest and passes between the Little and Big Dippers during January.

'This comet isn't expected to be quite the spectacle that Comet NEOWISE was back in 2020,' Preston Dyches from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a video shared by the US space agency.

'But it's still an awesome opportunity to make a personal connection with an icy visitor from the distant outer solar system.' 

Stargazers in the Southern Hemisphere will have to wait a little longer to catch a glimpse, however, as Comet C/2022 E3 won't be visible for them until early February.

In March 2022, astronomers discovered the new space rock using the wide-field survey camera at the Zwicky Transient Facility in California.

Since then, the new long-period comet has brightened substantially and is now sweeping across the northern constellation Corona Borealis in predawn skies. 

At the end of last year, scientists snapped the first detailed photo revealing the new Comet C/2022 E3's brighter greenish coma and a yellowy dust tail. 

Comets are made of ice, gas and rock – often described as giant space icebergs – that tend to originate in the outer solar system and move in on a long orbit.

The other major type of space rock, called asteroids, tend to be made of metal or rock and can come from anywhere in the solar system — including a large grouping of asteroids situated between Mars and Jupiter.

Comet Neowise was first spotted by — and named after — NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) space telescope in March 2020.

The icy body then became visible from the Earth's surface from the northern hemisphere for a short while in the summer of that year as its proximity to the sun caused it to melt, unleashing tails of dust and gas behind it.

During its closest approach on July 23, 2020, it was still 64 million miles from the planet. 

It then headed back out to space at around 144,000 miles per hour and will not to return for some 7,000 years.

Has Russia’s War Doomed The International Space Station?

Russia Cosmonauts finally realized why SpaceX Dragon is better than Soyuz after DAMAGED

The 2022 Space race ended with huge successes for the US and China. The most impressive name is definitely Elon Musk's SpaceX. With 61 flights, SpaceX tied a record set by the Soviet R-7 rocket, which in 1980 flew a combined 61 missions across its Soyuz, Molniya, and Vostok variants.

And for every winner, there must be a loser!
Russia clearly had a terrible year in space. The country only launched 22 times.
More seriously, its best spacecraft- Soyuz has been stuck on ISS for weeks.
In an attempt to potentially secure an alternate lifeboat for two Russian cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut, NASA and Russian space agency Roscosmos are conducting a review of available options, which included inquiring with SpaceX about using one of its Dragon capsules as a replacement for Soyuz MS-22.
This is definitely the time Russia's cosmonauts realized SpaceX Dragon is better than Soyuz after damage.
Find out everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:

On Dec. 15, 2022, the Soyuz spacecraft MS-22 suffered a significant coolant leak while docked at the ISS just prior to a planned Russian spacewalk. While the leaky Soyuz poses no immediate danger to the space station or its crew, it remains unknown if the Soyuz craft is flightworthy; as such, the MS-22 crew no longer has a viable lifeboat in the event of an emergency.

As the result, NASA inquired about using a SpaceX Dragon capsule to bring astronauts home from the ISS following a recent leak aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, a NASA blog post has stated.

A previous report published by Reuters stated the same, but NASA's blog post confirms that the agency is, in fact, mulling using a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as an ISS lifeboat.

Another option is for Roscosmos to send a replacement Soyuz craft. But the earliest such a mission could launch would be February, according to statements made by Sergei Krikalev, head of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center near Moscow.

Roscosmos is still investigating the cause of the leak and plans to issue its findings this month.

It’s winter here on Earth, for those living in the northern hemisphere. This means snow, rain, colder temperatures, and all the other things we associate with “the festive season.” Much the same is true for Mars (aka. “Earth’s Twin”), which is also experiencing winter in its northern hemisphere right now. This means colder temperatures, especially around the polar regions where it can get as low as -123 °C (-190 °F), as well as ice, snow, frost, and the expansion of the polar ice caps – which are composed of both water ice and frozen carbon dioxide (“dry ice”).

While Mars does not experience snowfall the same way Earth does, seasonal change results in some very interesting phenomena. Thanks to the many robotic explorers NASA and other space agencies have sent to Mars in the past fifty years, scientists have been able to get a close-up look at these phenomena. These include the Viking orbiters and landers that studied the planet in the 1970s (with groundbreaking results) to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity), and the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers exploring the surface today.

Thanks to these dedicated orbiters, landers, and rovers, scientists have learned a few salient facts about snow on Mars: it comes in two varieties (water ice and dry ice), and it only ever snows in the coldest regions and times – at the poles, under cloud cover, and at night. Because Mars’ atmosphere is so thin and its temperatures so extreme, water and carbon dioxide do not freeze but sublimate, transforming from a gas directly to ice (and back again). On top of that, dry ice snowflakes are cubic, meaning they have four sides instead of the familiar six-sided configuration we are familiar with.

As with water molecules, this is because a crystal’s shape depends on how atoms arrange themselves. In the case of CO2, molecules always bond in groups of four. Moreover, snow never reaches the ground on Mars but sublimates as it falls from the clouds to the surface. Since most orbiters cannot see through these clouds, and rovers cannot withstand the extreme cold, no images of falling snow have ever been taken. But scientists know that Mars experiences snowfall, thanks to a handful of dedicated instruments.

These include the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) aboard the MRO, which observes the Martian atmosphere in visible and infrared light to measure the temperature, humidity, and dust content of the Martian atmosphere. This allows science teams to peer through cloud cover and detect CO₂ snow falling to the ground. Sylvain Piqueux, a planetary research Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explained the intricacies of Martian snow in a recent interview with NASA’s Mars News Report (a series dedicated to educating the public on the exploration and study of the Red Planet). As he explained:

“Enough falls that you could snowshoe across it. If you were looking for skiing, though, you’d have to go into a crater or cliffside, where snow could build up on a sloped surface. Because carbon dioxide ice has a symmetry of four, we know dry-ice snowflakes would be cube-shaped. Thanks to the Mars Climate Sounder, we can tell these snowflakes would be smaller than the width of a human hair.”

In addition, NASA’s Phoenix mission landed within 1,000 miles (about 1,600 kilometers) of Mars’ north pole in 2008. As part of its science operations, the lander used a laser-based atmospheric sensor – part of a special meteorological station provided by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) – to detect water ice snow falling to the surface. The Viking landers also detected water frost at their landing sites, and NASA’s Odyssey orbiter observed frost forming and sublimating at sunrise many times during its mission.

When the CO₂ ice sublimates near the end of winter, the most iconic surface features on Mars result. This includes the strange and beautiful shapes that scientists have nicknamed “spiders,” “Dalmatian spots,” “fried eggs,” and “Swiss cheese.” The “spring thaw” also causes geysers to erupt as sunlight passes through layers of translucent ice, heating the gas pockets beneath it. This triggers eruptions that send dust onto the surface, creating a feature known as “Spring Fans” that scientists are studying to learn more about which direction the Martian winds are blowing.

As Piqueux explained, all of this data will be vital when it comes time to send crewed missions to Mars, which NASA hopes to do by the 2030s:

“[T]he Pheonix lander, the NASA mission that arrived on Mars in 2008, observed beautiful frost landscapes that formed around it. The Pheonix lander was also able to scratch the surface and, for the first time, see this water ice just below the ground. This is the kind of water ice that astronauts could potentially use in the future when we go there.”

Many fascinating things accompany seasonal changes on Mars, and we are fortunate to bear witness to these things thanks to many generations of robotic missions. Soon enough, astronauts will witness Mars and its dynamic climate firsthand, and their research will fuel scientific breakthroughs and discoveries for generations to come!

“This is particularly important because it is thought that Mars used to have a thicker atmosphere in the past, perhaps sustaining Earth-like surface conditions,” Dr. Mathieu Lapôtre, who is an assistant professor of geological sciences in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and a co-author on the study, said in a statement. “However, it lost most of it, and we don’t really know when, how fast, and why.”

This study came about after scientists were puzzled over images from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover in 2015 that observed similar windblown patterns on Mars’ surface. These include giant sand dunes along with smaller formations like the impact ripples seen on Earth but also formations about 10 times as big as these ripples, but smaller in size compared to sand dunes. Essentially, Curiosity observed a type of middle-sized sand formation never seen.  

One proposed hypothesis for these middle-sized sand formations could be from the ongoing growth of impact ripples due to the low Martian atmospheric pressure. Dr. Lapôtre and other scientists have previously suggested that these formations could result from what’s known as hydrodynamic (fluid motion) instability, which can be used for both liquid and air movements.

For the study, the researchers used AI and more than 130,000 high-resolution images of Mars to perform a quantitative analysis on one million barchan dunes, also known as crescentic dunes, on Mars to examine how their sizes and shapes vary across the Martian surface. Barchan dunes are common on both Earth and Mars and have been imaged extensively on the Red Planet by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Their findings indicate that these middle-sized sand formations are not impact ripples, but instead are like miniature sand dunes whose growth ceases at a certain point due to the predicted change in the fluid-like airflow in the low atmospheric pressure close to the Martian surface.

The Dark Dunes of Mars

“Impact ripples form on Mars exactly like they do on Earth, and have more or less the same size,” Dr. Lior Rubanenko, who is the lead author of the study while conducting the research as a postdoctoral scholar in geological sciences at Stanford, said in a statement. “This makes sense, since the mechanism that forms impact ripples has less to do with the properties of the atmosphere and more with the mechanics of sand transport.”

“Now that we know how the size of these ripples varies with atmospheric density and why, we can use the size of fossilized ripples in very old rocks to reconstruct the history of Mars’ atmosphere,” Dr. Lapôtre said.

As always, keep doing science & keep looking up!

Mysterious UFO spotted over Tamaulipas highway, Mexico

An unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted on a highway in Tamaulipas, Mexico, according to a photograph shared on a forum dedicated to UFO sightings. The image, which shows two spherical objects flying over a stretch of land, was taken on December 29 by a user named Juanito Juan. “For the envious who do not believe … 12:05 pm … on the side of the road, Valle Hermoso to Matamoros, Tamaulipas … I thought it was one and not … there are 2,” Juanito Juan wrote in the Facebook forum “Ufo-Ovnis-Paranormal”.

Juanito Juan also claimed to have captured an image of a single round object in the skies over Tamaulipas on December 28 and another fast-moving, unknown phenomenon on December 18. “There is no doubt that something is happening in the sky of our city,” Juanito Juan said.

The UFO sightings have generated interest among social media users, with some speculating about the nature of the objects and others suggesting that the images may have been altered. “I had to see a similar large bright one that was static for 5 minutes, I was on the road when I wanted to take the phone out to take a photo, it disappeared, it was the same but brighter,” said user Ezequiel HC.

User Jorge Alejandro added: “I saw one of those in Reynosa, Tamaulipas one night that was on the roof of the house, when I saw it it went at an impressive speed and after about 10 minutes it came back and accelerated again.”

It remains unclear whether the UFO spotted on the Tamaulipas highway was of extraterrestrial origin or had a more mundane explanation. However, the sightings have certainly generated excitement and speculation among those who have seen the images.

Nieuwe studie suggereert dat aliens nog geen contact met onze aarde hebben gezocht omdat die “niet interessant genoeg is”

Aliens: bestaan ze nu echt en zullen ze ooit naar onze aarde afzakken? Volgens een nieuwe studie is het antwoord op die laatste vraag alvast teleurstellend. Het onderzoek belicht de ‘Fermi-paradox’. Die stelt dat buitenaardse wezens gezien de leeftijd van het heelal hoogstwaarschijnlijk al langeafstandsruimtevaart hebben ontwikkeld en onze aarde dus al lang bezocht zouden moeten hebben. Maar waarom kiezen ze er dan toch voor om weg te blijven? “We zijn op aarde gewoon niet interessant genoeg”, luidt het onderzoek.

Bron: Live Science, Space.com

In de studie, die gepubliceerd werd op het wetenschappelijke platform ‘arXiv’, beweren onderzoekers dat buitenaardse wezens enkel geïnteresseerd zijn in de meest technologisch geavanceerde planeten. Onze aarde hoort daar jammer genoeg niet bij. De mensheid mag dan wel biologisch ver geëvolueerd zijn, onze technologie staat daarentegen nog niet op punt, benadrukt Amri Wandel, hoofdonderzoeker en astrofysicus aan de Hebreeuwse Universiteit van Jeruzalem.

“Aliens hebben onze signalen nog niet ontvangen”

Wij sturen op aarde nog maar sinds de jaren 30 signalen in de vorm van radiogolven uit die vanuit de ruimte kunnen worden opgevangen. Buitenaardse wezens hebben dus nog niet de kans gehad om de boodschappen te ontvangen, laat staan om erop te reageren. De signalen hebben tot nu toe naar schatting 15.000 sterren en hun omringende planeten bereikt, maar dat is slechts een fractie van de 400 miljard sterren in de Melkweg. Alleen sterren binnen een straal van 50 lichtjaar (één lichtjaar is ongeveer 9,5 biljoen kilometer, red.) hebben met andere woorden al de tijd gehad om een signaal terug te sturen, legt Wandel uit.

De studie suggereert dus dat er zich binnen 50 lichtjaar van onze planeet geen intelligente beschavingen bevinden. Maar verder in de ruimte kan dat uiteraard wel het geval zijn, klinkt het.

Bovendien werden de allereerste radiosignalen niet doelbewust de kosmos ingestuurd, waardoor ze allemaal door elkaar zouden zijn gelopen zodra ze de ruimte bereikten. Daarom konden aliens ze niet van elkaar onderscheiden. Pas in 1974 werd vanuit Puerto Rico bewust geprobeerd om in contact te komen met buitenaards leven. Met de Arecibo-telescoop werd toen de allereerste doelbewuste menselijke boodschap naar – hypothetische – aliens uitgezonden.

Nieuwe boodschap

Een groep internationale wetenschappers vindt dat het stilaan tijd is voor een nieuwe boodschap en heeft om die reden het ‘Beacon in the Galaxy’ (BITG)-project opgestart. De experten hebben reeds een boodschap voorgesteld die als doel heeft om een universeel middel voor de communicatie met buitenaardse wezens tot stand te brengen. De radioboodschap zal onder meer een diagram van het mannelijke en vrouwelijke lichaam bevatten.

Hoe meer signalen onze aarde uitstuurt, hoe groter de kans uiteraard is dat aliens er uiteindelijk naar zullen luisteren, besluit Wandel.

KIJK OOK.

Snel uitgelegd: is er intelligent buitenaards leven?

Ancient “Hieroglyphs” Discovered In Ukrainian Caves

A Ukrainian explorer followed his grandmother's clues and discovered a lost cave system in the middle of Kyiv. Professors are “amazed” that such a treasure was hidden in plain sight for thousands of years.

The cave system is located at Voznesenskyi Descent in Kyiv, Ukraine. Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at the Center for Urban Development in Kyiv reported on Radio Kultura that the caves were found beside a dismantled house that Kyiv housing authorities had deemed as unsafe for inhabitation.

A report in Suspline says that in August this year Perov learned that the Kyiv City Council were drawing up plans to develop this area. His attention was drawn to a particular house address: Voznesenskyi Uzviz, 25, in which his great-great-grandmother Daria Volosova used to live at the beginning of the 20th century, at which time it was a three-story family manor.

An Amazing Lost Treasure

A report in Rubryka says Perov’s Grandmother used to speak about a big stone house next to an ancient cave, but no one knew where it was located. Perov told Radio Kultura that he had examined the area several times in the past and that only the front facia of the house remained, hidden in bushes.

The conservationist told reporters that he decided to team up with his friends to go to the old house “on a small expedition to look for caves” and they identified an entrance. Last Saturday, Perov and a team of researchers from the Institute of Archaeology conducted the first archaeological explorations in the Voznesensky Caves. And having spent 3 hours inspecting the cave, Timur Bobrovskyi, a professor of archaeology at the Sofia Kyivska reserve said he was “amazed that such a treasure was found in the center of Kyiv”.

Pottery And Hieroglyphs From Bygone Cultures

Perov says the team explored two of the four caves, because the other two are full of silt that needs to be cleared out prior to any exploration. In the northern part of the cave the team identified fragments of pottery from the Late Kyivan Rus’ era, which was a state in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century.

Perov wrote on Facebook that the team scoured around 40 meters (131 ft) of caves including the lower cave complex, which he said is twice as long as the upper passage and it has a series of “radial branches.” However, the most significant discovery was, in Petrov’s words: “a set of Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian symbols from the Early Rus period” when the region was under the control of Varangian rulers.

• Vikings in Byzantium: The Varangians and their Fearless Conquests

Engravings in the cave walls appear to be Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian.

Animistic Animals And A Chicken’s Foot

Dmytro Perov said that while more research is needed to confirm it, they suspect some of the carved symbols might date all the way back to the 5th to 6th centuries BC. He says “ animistic images of animals and graffiti” from the Varyaz period were also found on the walls including the rune Algiz ("chicken's foot"). This was an ancient Varangian charm, a symbol of protection and long life.

Between the 7th–6th centuries BC several Hellenic Greek colonies were founded on the northern coast of the Black Sea on the Crimean Peninsula and along the Sea of Azov. After a period of control by the Roman empire, during the 1st millennium BC, the steppe hinterland was occupied by the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians who traded with the Greek/Roman colonies.

Viking Bloodlines And Trade Routes

The Kyivan state was founded by the Varangian, or Viking, Prince Rurik in the late 9th century. His descendants developed and controlled an international trade route to the west until the 13th century. According to Britannia the Kyivan state comprised East Slavic, Norse, and Finnic peoples, so it will perhaps be impossible to identify who left the carved symbols on the cave walls.

For several months the Kyiv City Council has been planning to transfer the land plot to a private developer. However, Perov said that until more data is gathered from the caves the issue of transfer of the plot for development has been removed from the agenda of the Kyiv City State Administration.

BEERDIERTJES KUNNEN DECENNIALANG ZONDER WATER OVERLEVEN EN ONDERZOEKERS DENKEN NU TE WETEN HOE ZE HET DOEN

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Zonder water ga je dood. Dat geldt voor vrijwel alle levensvormen op aarde, maar – dankzij een gaaf en voor beerdiertjes uniek eiwit – niet voor deze minuscule meercelligen.

Beerdiertjes zijn opzienbarende wezentjes; de amper 0,5 millimeter lange diertjes zijn tijdens ruimtereizen bestand gebleken tegen vacuüm en kosmische straling. En toen onderzoekers ze recent in een speciaal geweer stopten om ze af te vuren, konden de beerdiertjes dat ook gewoon navertellen. Ook extreme hitte en kou, een gebrek aan zuurstof of kiemdodende ultraviolette lampen doen de beerdiertjes weinig. Net als een langdurig tekort aan water; onderzoek heeft reeds uitgewezen dat beerdiertjes decennialang zonder water kunnen overleven.

Raadselachtig
Dat laatste is – net als veel van het voorgaande trouwens – tamelijk raadselachtig. Want op watergebrek volgt uitdroging en dat vinden levende cellen niet zo prettig; wanneer ze uitdrogen, verliezen ze hun vorm en storten uiteindelijk compleet ineen. Ze functioneren dan niet meer (goed) en kunnen uiteindelijk afsterven. En dat heeft vanzelfsprekend weer dramatische gevolgen voor het organisme waar ze deel van uitmaken.

Maar uitdrogende beerdiertjes hebben dus geen last van in elkaar zakkende en afstervende cellen. “Hoewel water essentieel is voor al het leven dat we kennen, kunnen sommige beerdiertjes mogelijk decennialang zonder water leven,” stelt onderzoeker Takekazu Kunieda.

CAHS-eiwitten
Kunieda en collega’s hebben nu achterhaald hoe de kleine beerdiertjes dat precies doen. En een heldenrol is daarbij weggelegd voor zogenoemde CAHS-eiwitten. “De truc zit ‘m in hoe hun cellen omgaan met de stress die het proces van uitdroging met zich meebrengt,” legt Kunieda uit. “Aangenomen wordt dat wanneer water een cel verlaat, er een soort eiwit moet zijn dat voorkomt dat de cel ineenklapt. Na het testen van verschillende eiwitten, hebben we ontdekt dat cytoplasmic-abundant heat soluble (CAHS) eiwitten – die alleen beerdiertjes bezitten – verantwoordelijk zijn voor het beschermen van de cel tegen uitdroging.”

Hoe werkt het?
Deze CAHS-eiwitten zitten dus in de cellen van het beerdiertje. En zodra ze ‘merken’ dat de cel die hen omringt, uitdroogt, komen ze in actie. De eiwitten vormen dan een netwerk van gelachtige filamenten die de uitdrogende cel als het ware stutten en er zo voor zorgen dat deze zijn vorm behoudt. Dat is een omkeerbaar proces. Want zodra de cellen van het beerdiertje weer vocht tot hun beschikking hebben, trekken de gelachtige filamenten zich langzaam weer terug.

Mensen
Het is een ingenieuze oplossing. En grappig genoeg werken deze eiwitten – waar dus alleen beerdiertjes over beschikken – ook in cellen van andere organismen. De onderzoekers trekken die conclusie nadat ze de eiwitten in het laboratorium toepasten in uitdrogende cellen van insecten en mensen. Tot hun verbazing zagen ze dat de eiwitten ook hier in actie kwamen en stuttende filamenten vormden.

Hier zie je hoe CAHS-eiwitten filamenten vormen in een uitdrogende menselijke cel.

Als het aan de onderzoekers ligt, is hun studie de opmaat naar meer. Zo hopen ze dat deze er uiteindelijk toe leidt dat wetenschappers – geïnspireerd door de beerdiertjes – nieuwe manieren gaan vinden om bijvoorbeeld celmaterialen en biomoleculen droog op te slaan. Zo kan de houdbaarheid van materialen die veel in het laboratorium gebruikt worden, maar bijvoorbeeld ook van medicijnen en misschien zelfs van complete organen (bestemd voor transplantatie) in de toekomst wellicht worden opgerekt.

Daarnaast zijn er nog veel meer eiwitten die de wetenschappers graag onder de loep zouden nemen om het beerdiertje en zijn opmerkelijke eigenschappen nader te doorgronden. Uiteindelijk hopen Kunieda en collega’s zelfs meer dan 300 eiwitten van het beerdiertje te onderzoeken en zo verscheidene andere ‘superkrachten’ van het mysterieuze meercellige organisme te ontrafelen en waar mogelijk natuurlijk vervolgens ook in andere settings toe te passen.

Second Sun Dubai

The "second sun" phenomenon is real, and is certainly not a lens flare, camera artifact or optical illusion. There is no doubt that NASA and all other space organizations are aware of this second sun, which is mostly invisible, but they continue to cover it up. 

Is the ‘second sun’ an artificially created sun? NASA has an ‘artificial sun’ patent since the 1950’s. According to NASA it is just used for testing equipment and running simulations like optical reflection, space environment simulation, sunlight, reflectors and virtual properties. The 1960’s NASA sun simulator, nickname ‘Star’ was for an environment test chamber right here on earth, to simulate the sun found in space. 

Much research has been done into this phenomenon and the link is often made to the infamous Planet X, Planet Nine or even to Marduk's star Nibiru. 

Second Sun Slovakia

1. A study done by Dr. Avi Loeb, Professor of Science at Harvard and Harvard undergraduate student Amir Siraj goes against the dominate “lone star” thinking about the Sun’s origin. Their radical-sounding theory that the Solar System may have once been a binary star system - so consisting of two stars orbiting a common point in space - perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise. 

3. The concept of a "second sun" is often used to refer to a large unknown planetary object or an advanced unknown planet like Nibiru which is mentioned in history books. 

Nibiru is a term in the Akkadian language, translating to "crossing" or "point of transition.” 

Nibiru is Marduk's star. Marduk as the ruler of the cosmos made Nibiru visible and set it on his course wherein Nibiru passes by earth every 3,600 years allowing allows its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity as defined in tablet 5 of the creation epic Enûma Eliš and described on a complete cuneiform tablet. 

Second Sun Indonesia

3. A respected person who believes that Nibiru exists is Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. (Anthropology, U.C.L.A.). Below are a number of quotes where he refers to the origin of Nibiru, where it is, when Nibiru will arrive and how it will affect us  

10,900 B.C. Uranus drifted away from the Sun and sped Nibiru toward Earth sooner than 3,600 years. 

From 10,000 BCE. on, Uranus speeded Nibiru’s orbit to 3450 Earth years rather than 3600. 

Nibiru has an orbit that looks like an infinity symbol. Every second time around this sidewise, Nibiru will cause earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and possibly a pole shift. 

If the information from the Ilat-Litum Tablets that a Nazi expedition in 1939 found in Antarctica is correct, many people will die because of this. 

The Ilat-Litum Tablets explain Nibiru’s sidewise-8 orbit thus: “the point of crossing lies on one level but not at the same point in space. One time the encounter in (the zodiacal house of) Aquarius causes Earth’s orbit to shift, but the other time it orbits the asteroid belt without disrupting Earth. 

Nibiru returned to perigee in 7450, 4000, and 556 B.C. and next returns to the inner solar system in 2900 BCE. Though the debris 180 degrees from Nibiru on Nibiru’s orbital path, its far LaGrange point moving in harmonic procession always opposite Nibiru, may be upon us now! 

Maybe Baba Vanga's predictions for 2023 will come true? A big astronomical event will occur as Earth's orbit will change. As a result of this event, it could have catastrophic consequences on Earth and the Earth will be hit by an unprecedented solar storm on a scale the world has never before seen.

Incredible UFO caught on camera approaching commercial airliner in Brazil!

On December 2, 2022, a UFO was spotted approaching an Airbus A380 as it descended towards the runway at the Sao Paulo International Airport in Brazil. The unidentified flying object, which does not appear to be a drone, was captured on video by the airport’s cameras.

UFO approached the massive passenger aircraft as it was preparing to land, causing the video camera to shake. It is unclear what the UFO was attempting to do or whether it posed any threat to the safety of the A380 and its passengers.

This incident has caused a stir among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike, with many speculating about the nature and intentions of the mysterious object. Some have even suggested that the shaking of the camera may have been caused by the UFO itself, potentially demonstrating advanced technology beyond our current understanding.

It is worth noting that UFO sightings around airports are not uncommon, and many can be explained by natural or man-made phenomena. However, this particular incident has caught the attention of many due to the proximity of the UFO to a commercial airliner and the strange behavior of the video camera.

At this time, it is unknown what the UFO was or where it came from. It is also unclear whether authorities will launch an investigation into the incident. Regardless, this close encounter has certainly added to the ongoing debate about the existence of extraterrestrial life and their potential interactions with humanity.

Ex-Fighter Pilot Calls for Science-Based Approach to Understanding UAP

The rise of UFOs has been the subject of much speculation and excitement in recent years. Reports of UFO sightings by commercial and military pilots around the world caught the attention of the public. While the public has been fascinated by these strange occurrences, the lack of definitive answers has led to the development of various conspiracy theories.

According to Ryan Graves, a former US Navy fighter pilot and Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) UAP Integration & Outreach Committee (UAPIOC), a scientific approach is needed to solve the mystery of UFO phenomena. He believes that the stigma surrounding this issue should be lifted in order to make progress in addressing it.

Ryan responds to an Op-Ed by Wall Street Journal columnist, Holman Jenkins, where he claims that the government is secretly developing a laser program that could be used to launch extraterrestrials. He also criticizes his claims about the supposed conspiracy and how they further discourages scientists and pilots from coming forward with information about UAP.

SpaceX is ready to launch its Falcon Heavy To Orbit in January 2023!

SpaceX is ready to launch its Falcon Heavy To Orbit in January 2023!
What do you get when you take three Falcon 9 boosters and strap them together? Well, a Falcon Heavy of course. The second most powerful rocket, SpaceX doesn’t get to launch it often, but when they do, all the world wants to see it.
Remember we waited 40 months to have a Falcon Heavy launch in November?
Happily, we won’t have to wait long for the next monster launch as SpaceX is ready to launch its Falcon Heavy to Orbit this month!

Find out all about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:

Falcon Heavy, first publicly announced in 2011, had been a dream for so long of space fans.
SpaceX and Elon Musk poured a lot of sweat and tears into it.
It is as tall as a 20-story building, consisting of three cylindrical rocket boosters strapped side-by-side, with a total of 27 engines. Firing together, these engines burn liquid oxygen and highly-refined kerosene to provide more than 2,500 tons of force, lifting the vehicle and its cargo off the ground and into space.

The rocket is, in appearance and design, akin to three of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket boosters strapped together. This was indeed the basic inspiration for the rocket, but the concept turned to be harder than the company’s engineers had initially anticipated.

“This thing is a lot more complicated—as Elon also admitted, it’s not just screwing two more vehicles onto the Falcon 9 and going from there,” veteran aerospace engineer James French shared.

“The loads change, aerodynamics totally change, you’ve tripled the vibration and the acoustics. The amount of load you are putting through that center core is crazy…we had to redesign the whole center core airframe, it’s not like the Falcon 9 because it couldn’t take so much load. Separation systems ended up being, really, way more difficult than we thought. We were pretty naive about that.”

The company abandoned complicated techniques, like cycling fuel between the three core boosters during flight for increased efficiency. But the rocket is still a big innovation for one key reason: It will attempt to recover those three booster cores by flying two back to landing pads at Cape Canaveral and the third onto an autonomous ship. While the company has recovered numerous single-booster rockets using this technique, flying back three at once will an impressive accomplishment.

That’s assuming, of course, the rocket makes it far enough into the mission to worry about recovery.

“Put really big things in orbit, or take smaller things to a very high energy stage which makes them able to reach the outer planets,” French says. Falcon heavy is able to carry more than 63 metric tons to low-earth orbit a few hundred miles above the planet, or more than 16 metric tons to Mars.

Could this be a new type of celestial body or something else entirely? Join us as we delve into this space mystery and explore the possibilities of what this object could be.

Euphrates River Has COMPLETELY Dried Up And Something TERRIFYING Showed Up!

The Euphrates is known to be the longest river in West Asia. The Euphrates originates from turkey and flows through Syria and Iraq, and finally joins the river Tigris in Shatt Al Arab. The Euphrates and Tigris hold great importance to the Mesopotamian civilization.

By the senses of 1990, it shows the impact of the construction of dams in the Euphrates. The construction of dams caused an increase in discharge from the Euphrates, and this drastically changed the course of the flow.

ZO ERG IS HET ZOGEFFECT: WINDPARKEN OP ZEE VERANDEREN HET WEER TOT 150 KILOMETER VERDEROP

Jeannette Kras

Je verwacht het misschien niet direct, maar windmolens hebben invloed op het weer in hun 

Het is niet zo dat een groot windpark op zee klimaatverandering veroorzaakt. Het effect op het weer is plaatselijk, maar kan de lucht tot wel 200 meter hoogte beïnvloeden. Als de omstandigheden gunstig zijn, kunnen windmolenparken tot 150 kilometer verderop zorgen voor een afname van de windkracht.

Luchtlagen mixen
De draaiende rotorbladen van een windturbine zetten de bewegingsenergie van de wind om in elektriciteit. Achter een windpark is er zodoende minder wind. Door het mixen van luchtlagen en de turbulentie die hierbij komt kijken, mengen vocht en warmte in de lucht beter. Dat kan – zeker bij de stabiele atmosfeer in het voorjaar en de vroege zomer, wanneer de zee kouder is dan de lucht erboven – zorgen voor aanzienlijke zogeffecten in de windschaduw van het windpark. De windturbines transporteren koudere en vochtigere lucht naar hogere luchtlagen, waardoor de kans op mist mogelijk afneemt en er meer kans is op laaghangende bewolking, al is er meer onderzoek nodig om deze weerseffecten met zekerheid te kunnen vaststellen.

Tien keer zoveel windparken in 2050
Op de hele Noordzee stond in 2020 ongeveer 19 gigawatt aan geïnstalleerd windturbinevermogen. In 2050 zal er naar verwachting tien keer zoveel windenergie worden opgewekt. Het geïnstalleerd vermogen is de hoeveelheid energie die windturbines kunnen produceren als ze altijd aan zouden staan en geen last zouden hebben van externe factoren. In werkelijkheid is de opbrengst lager, vanwege onder andere die zogeffecten, maar ook doordat windturbines soms stilstaan voor onderhoud.

Onderzoeker Peter Baas van de TU Delft (Whiffle) legt aan Scientias.nl uit hoe groot de zogeffecten kunnen zijn. “We onderzoeken met het WINS50-project het verschil tussen het geïnstalleerd vermogen en de werkelijke opbrengst van windturbines en windparken. De invloed van zogeffecten – dit is het effect waarbij de turbines van een windpark in elkaars windschaduw staan – hangt van veel factoren af. Zo spelen de afstand tussen de turbines, de hoeveelheid turbines in het park en het type windturbine allemaal een rol. Een recente studie met het atmosferische hogeresolutiemodel van Whiffle laat zien dat voor grote toekomstige windparken, waarbij het geïnstalleerd vermogen meerdere gigawatts bedraagt, de zogverliezen kunnen oplopen tot 15 procent of soms nog meer.”

Formatie op zee
Een windpark is een obstakel waar de wind omheen en overheen wil. Het is dus interessant om te kijken wat de beste opstelling is voor een windpark en hoe windparken ten opzichte van elkaar kunnen worden geplaatst. “De formatie van de turbines in een windmolenpark speelt een belangrijke rol. Er wordt bij de aanleg van windparken dan ook uitgebreid naar gekeken om de opbrengst te optimaliseren. Zo kun je bij veel windparken zien dat de turbines in de richting van de meest voorkomende windrichting verder uit elkaar staan dan in de richting die daar loodrecht op staat”, zegt Baas.

Gebouwen in een stad kunnen ook effect hebben op de wind, maar dat is van een heel andere aard, legt de wetenschapper uit. “In een stad wordt de wind afgeremd door de gebouwen zelf. In een windpark wordt wind niet zozeer afgeremd door de turbines zelf maar door de energie die ze aan de wind onttrekken. Ook wordt de lucht direct beïnvloed tot hoogtes van 200 meter, terwijl in de meeste steden de gebouwen zich alleen laag bij de grond bevinden. Dus in een stad zit de afremming meest aan de grond, bij een windpark met name ter hoogte van de turbines. Zeker de toekomstige windparken zijn veel uitgestrekter qua oppervlakte dan een Nederlandse stad. Het effect van windparken op weer en wind is dus veel groter dan dat van een stad”, zegt Baas.

Negatief effect op opbrengst
Het zal in de komende decennia steeds drukker worden in de Noordzee. Windparken zullen steeds vaker in elkaars schaduw staan. Het is daarom belangrijk om in te schatten hoeveel invloed dit soort effecten hebben op de opbrengst. Hoeveel groter zijn de zogeffecten in zo’n toekomstig scenario? “Ook dit is een van de vragen waar we in het WINS50-project aandacht aan besteden. Met het atmosfeermodel van Whiffle hebben we een pilotstudie uitgevoerd die laat zien dat omliggende windparken een significant negatief effect op de opbrengst van een windpark kunnen hebben”, aldus Baas.

Onderhoud en vogeltrek
“Ook modelsimulaties die met het KNMI-weermodel zijn gedaan binnen het WINS50-project laten duidelijk zien dat zogeffecten van het ene park de wind bij een ander park kunnen beïnvloeden. We zien dat dit steeds belangrijker wordt omdat er zowel op de Noordzee als op andere locaties steeds grotere clusters van windparken ontstaan. Juist daar kunnen wij heel goed modelberekeningen op uitvoeren. Ook wordt bij de bouw van windparken rekening gehouden met trekroutes van vogels en vleermuizen. Windturbines staan niet alleen stil door onderhoud, maar moeten soms ook uitgezet worden vanwege de vogeltrek.”

Het verkleinen van opbrengstverlies, kan dan ook op allerlei manieren, legt Baas uit. “Ook oplossingen in de windturbine zelf spelen een rol. Zo kan ‘wake steering’, het sturen van de zogeffecten, mogelijk een positieve bijdrage leveren.” Hoeveel invloed dit allemaal heeft, is nog niet helemaal helder. “Er is nog veel onduidelijk als het gaat om de invloed van grootschalige uitbreiding van windparken op zee op de energieproductie en het weer. Binnen ons project proberen wij effecten in kaart te brengen en onzekerheden te verkleinen. Op die manier willen wij een bijdrage leveren aan de transitie naar hernieuwbare energie.”
