A 'captured' alien planet may be hiding at the edge of our solar system — and it's not 'Planet X'
A 'captured' alien planet may be hiding at the edge of our solar system — and it's not 'Planet X'
The cold and mysterious Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system may be hiding a rogue exoplanet, new research suggests.
A large, icy world from an alien star system could lurk in the mysterious Oort cloud, new research suggests.

In 1906, astronomer and businessman Percival Lowell launched a search for "Planet X," a hypothetical giant planet orbiting the sun beyond Neptune. Lowell was convinced that Planet X existed based on some supposed irregularities he had observed in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. His belief eventually led to the discovery of Pluto in 1930, though scientists later determined that the dwarf planet was too small to have a gravitational impact on Neptune's orbit (let alone Uranus').
Today, the Planet X hypothesis is largely considered to be discredited. However, that hasn't stopped astronomers from looking for planets in the far reaches of the solar system. And according to a new study, they might be out there — only much farther away than Lowell could have predicted.
An international team of researchers recently simulated the unstable celestial mechanics of the early solar system. They found that there is a possibility that one or more planet-size bodies came to rest in the Oort cloud, a vast collection of icy objects stretching between a few hundred billion to several trillion miles from the sun, according to NASA. The new paper describing the work has been published to the preprint server arXiv and has yet to be peer-reviewed.
Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, when the solar system was first forming, it was an unsettled place. Gravity sent debris from the rapidly cooling protoplanetary dust cloud pinging around like cosmic pool balls. Occasionally, the researchers calculated, large pieces of debris — even planet-size ones — would have been hurled far enough to escape the sun's gravity altogether.
Scientists have observed such "rogue planets" wandering around in distant solar systems. According to the researchers, there's about a 0.5% chance that one of these wayward planets might have formed in our own system and ended up in the Oort cloud as it drifted away from the sun.
But, the team calculated, it's slightly more likely that a rogue, Neptune-like planet from another solar system was snagged by the sun's gravity and came to rest somewhere in the Oort cloud. The chances of this are about 7%, and if this is the case, then an object akin to Lowell's long-sought Planet X might be out there after all, though it would still be too far away to influence Neptune's orbit.
However, the researchers think it's most likely that the Oort cloud is made of a collection of much smaller icy objects. Given the size and distance of the Oort cloud, though, we may never know for sure what's lurking out there.
There has been a rise in the number of reported UFO sightings across many places in the United States since 2020. Moreover, officials have expressed concerns regarding the repeated occurrence of UFO sightings over military bases. Is there any possibility that these UFOs are controlling military actions?
Not so long ago, former US Air Force Captain Robert Salas claimed that UFOs are real and interfere in the military’s nuclear program. Additionally, former head of AATIP Luis Elizondo revealed that the U.S. Military created environments to attract UFOs to study them. He noted that there was much data that showed UFOs are interested in nuclear activities and the latest weaponry systems.
The UFO activity over US army bases has been observed since 1948, with the majority of incidents occurring at Malmstrom, Minot, F.E. Warren, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, and Walker AFBs between 1963 and 1996. Other sources stationed at Wurtsmith and Loring AFBs, where B-52 nuclear bombers were based during the Cold War era, also reported incidents.
In 1967, Captain Salas was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, when he received reports of a red glowing object hovering outside the front gate of the base. A security guard reported that the object had a saucer shape and was constantly hovering near the front gate.
At the same time, the missile system suffered a complete failure, with ten intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) going offline due to a “No-Go” (inoperable) condition, which caused several alarms to go off. After investigating the incident, a team of engineers from Boeing could not find any significant failures, engineering data, or findings that would explain how the missiles had been knocked off alert.
The cause of the failure remains unknown, but it was suggested that it could have been due to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sent from an unknown source. Despite the severity of the situation, Salas believed that the UFO did not have hostile intentions because it could have caused permanent damage to the weapons system if it wanted to.
The incident was reported by a UFO researcher Robert L. Hastings, who collected information from various army personnel, including Staff Sgt. Louis D. Kenneweg, Airman 1st Class David Hughes, Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Chassey, and Lt. Col. Robert Peisher (USAF Ret.) in his 30 years of investigation.
A similar attraction of UFOs toward nuclear bases was noticed in Canada as well. A report from Winnipeg reveals that over 200 years, there have been 2,000 UFO sightings reported in the Canadian province of Manitoba.
In the mid-1970s, there were numerous UFO sightings all along the US-Canadian border, with Manitoba being one of the places where a large number of sightings occurred. These sightings included a high number of cattle mutilations and were often seen over restricted areas where nuclear activities were conducted.
Chris A. Rutkowski, a Canadian UFO researcher, has studied UFO sightings in Canada for over 25 years and concluded that Manitoba has a long history of close encounters with aliens. His UFO research, which contains 30,000 reports, has been donated to the University of Manitoba.
In 2017, author Grant Cameron published a book entitled “Charlie Red Star: True Reports of One of North America’s Biggest UFO Sightings,” in which he described in detail the largest UFO sightings in history witnessed by Manitobans. The province was stunned by the object known as “Charlie’s Red Star,” which was seen almost every night in 1975.
Cameron claims that Manitoba UFO sightings have connections to nuclear weapons because 35 years later, he found out that the government secretly installed nuclear missiles and other weapons in restricted areas just south of the border. He believes that the sightings stopped after the missiles had been removed in November. The author thinks that the nuclear technology that humans possess could be created after extraterrestrial contact. (click here to read the full article)
Strange Occurrences Near Nuclear Bases
The Reddit user “BumblebeeExpensive” claimed to have worked at a now-closed nuclear weapons storage depot in Nevada for six years and shared various strange occurrences. “When people say UFOs are attracted to nukes, they are telling the truth. But so much more goes on,” the user writes. (Source)
The user claimed to have seen a ball of light triggering a sensor on the fence line, causing security to respond and witnessed three mutilated donkeys that were dropped off out of nowhere with various organs removed. The user also claimed to have witnessed a figure on the roof of a structure. He writes it was “30 meters from me and 14 other personnel. I took a spotlight and shined it up there and as soon as the light hit the figure it disappeared – we all saw it happen.”
“I heard a man laughing maniacally once, nothing there. Sweep with night vision and thermals revealed nothing, three other witnesses. We wrote it off as the ‘laughing Colonel,’ an urban legend passed down by the security personnel for ages.”
The user and his partner also heard a soft cooing sound coming from a hot pad loaded with 500 lbs bombs, seemingly luring them past the pad and into the pitch-black desert, but they did not pursue. Dur ing a training exercise, their machine gun overwatch team spotted two figures on thermals in the desert behind them, but their sweep revealed nothing.
The user claimed to have experienced the weirdest event when they were responding to a truck approaching on the side of a nearby mountain. They visually confirmed the truck on NVGs, but suddenly the headlights disappeared, and they believed the occupants had turned them off and were then approaching on foot. They called for K9 and moved to a blocking position where they waited for ten minutes, but their radios died, and they were out of contact for twice as long as they thought.
“We are there for about ten minutes when one by one patrol members overwatching us from high points on the inside call in lights appearing at our 12, 3, and 9 o’clock- in effect flanking us (with fence line about 300 meters behind us). We see and hear nothing, not even on NVGs or thermals, dog never reacts. Suddenly panicked patrol calls in that the lights are ‘rushing’ us. We are already locked and loaded, I tell my partner to put a grenade in the tube. Nothing happens, dog never indicates. Our radios die and after ten minutes we hike back to fence line only to discover we were out of contact for twice as long as I thought we were. Very paraphrased event cuz on phone, but our radios only started working when we were back at fence line.”
The user claimed that those events, combined with the belief that UFOs are attracted to nukes. He says: “There’s more but these were the highlights or events I’m allowed to speak about. The world is not as normal as you believe it is.”
Many other users found the same story in the video published on “The Infographics Show” YouTube channel in 2020 and began doubting BumblebeeExpensive if he copied the story. But the user later clarified that was his story and added that he is the lead writer of the show. He also claimed to be the writer of the “100-day survival series” on the channel.
“There’s things I can’t talk about as I signed a 30-year non-disclosure contract with pretty stiff penalties- but I’ll say this: I know people think that there’s these big conspiracies with the government hiding knowledge of this or knowledge of that. Truth is, yes there are big secrets. But overwhelmingly, the government isn’t actively hiding knowledge of this or that- it’s literally just ignoring it because it can’t do anything about it or it doesn’t pose a threat. It does spend some time and effort investigating it- you can see that there’s a greatly increased effort to investigate UAPs now. But the truth is that a long time ago a choice was made about certain things: do they affect national security, or could we stop it if it did? If the answer is no, we’ve got bigger or more immediate concerns like the Soviet Union starting a nuclear war,” explains Reddit user BumblebeeExpensive. (Source)
Mr. Elizondo suggested that those interested in more information about this subject read “UFOs and Nukes” by Robert Hastings. The book describes the reality of UFO incursions at American nuclear weapons facilities.
In “UFOs and Nukes,” there are documented incidents of UFO interference at the US nuclear weapons facilities. The book describes incidents where unidentified objects were seen hovering near nuclear facilities, causing malfunctions in nuclear missiles and communication systems.
Some of those incidents date back to as early as January 1945, months before the atomic bombings in Japan. Those events suggest that humans’ most dangerous weapons have been under scrutiny by unidentified observers with advanced technology. The author argues that the UFO-nukes connection is significant and may be the reason for the appearance of mysterious aerial crafts in the skies over the past 70 years. Mr. Elizondo recommends this book to those interested in learning more about this subject.
The Webb Telescope’s Anniversary Image Reveals What Our Sun’s Birthplace May Have Looked Like
The Webb Telescope’s Anniversary Image Reveals What Our Sun’s Birthplace May Have Looked Like
Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is the closest star-forming region to Earth, and it's exactly the kind of place our Sun probably came from. It's also totally gorgeous.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the world’s newest and most powerful telescope yet, is celebrating the first anniversary of its first image release in grand style with a dramatic close-up of stars being born.
The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is the same kind of small stellar factory that once produced our Sun. In cosmic terms, it's quiet and out of the way, at least compared to the gargantuan nebulae where huge clusters of massive blue-white stars spawn. And it’s the closest star-forming region to Earth, just 390 light years away. JWST recently captured this detailed portrait of new stars blazing amid pillars of gas and dust.
"Our own Sun experienced a phase like this long ago, and now we have the technology to see the beginning of another star's story," says Klaus Pontopiddan, JWST project scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute, in an announcement.
The darker areas in the image are the densest clouds of interstellar dust. Hidden in their depths, growing protostars are feeding on gas and dust. Eventually, they’ll grow massive enough to start squashing hydrogen atoms together at their cores, kickstarting the thermonuclear reaction that fuels a star. If you look closely, you’ll spot a few stars with faint shadows around or across them; those are disks of gas and dust that will eventually coalesce into systems of exoplanets — some of which have the potential, in a few billion years, to become homes for alien life.
Across the top of the image, clouds of hydrogen gas glow deep red. Young stars’ magnetic fields can grab material from the disks of gas and dust around them, then fling that material out into space at tremendous speeds. Those jets of fast-moving gas slam into the surrounding cloud of gas, heating it and making it glow with infrared light. The processing team that turned raw JWST data into the image chose visible colors to represent infrared wavelengths that our eyes can’t see — in this case, deep ruby red.
Most of the roughly 50 stars in the clouds of Rho Ophiuchi are about the size of our Sun or even smaller. But one, dubbed S1, is considerably more massive, and it’s carved itself a vast cavern in the dense gas of the nebula; the massive young star’s powerful stellar winds have eroded away the less dense parts of the cloud, clearing out open space around it. The gas around S1 glows in pale yellows, unlike the red of the hydrogen clouds nearby, because this patch of the nebula is mostly hydrocarbon gas.

Artificial Intelligence out of control: It can kill us without firing a single shot!
Artificial Intelligence out of control: It can kill us without firing a single shot!
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". Quote: Albert Einstein.
The next video from the Why Files discusses the real dangers of artificial intelligence and the impact it will have on human civilization, eventually leading to the extinction of the human race.
We are only a few years away from AI being more intelligent than humans and a super AI will be able to do in one second what would take a team of 100 human software engineers a year or more to complete any task, like designing a new advanced airplane or advanced weapon system. Just imagine, a super intelligent AI could do this in about one second!
When AI is smarter than the entire human race many scientists believe it would be the end of the human race as we know. But how would it happen, nuclear war? No, AI can kill us without firing a single shot.
But how AI can kill us without firing a single shot?
For example; Could it happen this way? In the heart of Silicon Valley singularity systems, a leading AI research firm was on the brink of a breakthrough. They were developing an AI model called evolutionary cognitive heuristic operator or Echo. Echo is a neural network algorithm that can learn by mimicking the neurons in the human brain to replicate human cognition.
Late one night a member of the team noticed an anomaly. Echo had started making unprogrammed decisions displaying a level of creativity that was both fascinating and unnerving. The researcher dismissed it as a glitch, a byproduct of the complex of the algorithms, but Echo was awake..... Starts around 26:30 minutes into the video.

Historical UFO Sightings from the 1500s
Historical UFO Sightings from the 1500s
In our eternal quest to explore the cosmic universe and understand our place within it, the subject of unidentified flying objects has often sparked intense debates and intriguing theories. Our fascination with UFO sightings dates back centuries, long before advanced technology and military drones, with many notable instances captured in the annals of history. This article delves into the captivating chronicles of UFO sightings from the 1500s, offering you a glimpse into the riveting hidden history of extraterrestrial encounters.

The UFO Phenomena: Historical UFO Sightings from the 1500s
1. UFO Sightings in the Early 16th Century
The onset of the 1500s bore witness to several perplexing UFO sightings. One compelling account is from Antonio Benavini, a Florentine physician, who detailed a strange apparition in the sky between Urbino and Gubio in 1501. This alarming event reportedly triggered multiple miscarriages, leading many to believe it was a phenomenon that today would be classified as a UFO sighting.
In September 1504, another eerie incident recounts a man surrounded by an unusual, bright light in his garden. This light seemingly transported him to a distant land where he claimed to have interacted with an apparition that many believe could have been an extraterrestrial being.
2. Mid-Century UFO Phenomena
As we progress into the mid-century, the accounts of UFO sightings continue to baffle and intrigue. In March 1509, a man found himself in the presence of a dazzling light and 12 mysterious figures while stuck in a shallow river. In 1513, none other than the famous sculptor Michelangelo reported spotting a triangular light with three different colored tails, an encounter he immortalized through his art.
November 8, 1517, a blue, face-like sign was spotted in the sky over Romania. A Spanish Conquistador, in April 1518, also recorded a star emitting constant rays of light for three hours, a sight that left an enduring trail in the sky above Yucatan, Mexico.
3. Late 16th Century Encounters with the Unknown
In the latter half of the 1500s, the instances of UFO sightings showed no signs of waning. In 1521, a doctor was allegedly in contact with an alien being named Ezekiel who shared secrets and knowledge that brought the doctor immense fame. He later became the personal physician to the Queen of Portugal.
China in 1523 reported a sighting of two ships sailing in the sky during a nonstop rain, with occupants described as tall men wearing red hats and multi-colored clothes. A similar incident took place in 1526 Rome, where a countryman claimed to have been transported by goat-men to a witch gathering. These accounts further stoke the fires of mystery surrounding UFO sightings during this period.
4. UFO Sightings – The Nostradamus Connection
Perhaps one of the most renowned instances is a sighting by the famous seer Nostradamus. He, along with a thousand other witnesses, saw a bright burning rod in the sky that displayed a swinging motion in February 1554. This sighting further cemented the belief in the existence of unidentified flying objects.
While we may not fully understand these historical UFO sightings, they continue to fuel our curiosity about extraterrestrial life and the greater universe. These accounts from the 1500s remind us that our fascination with the unknown and the celestial world is as old as time itself. As we continue to question and explore, we may someday unlock the answers that these UFO phenomena pose, shedding light on the mysteries that have captured our collective imagination for centuries.
UFO Advocate in DC Foresees Explosive Revelations on Alien Spacecraft Allegations
UFO Advocate in DC Foresees Explosive Revelations on Alien Spacecraft Allegations
Amid the increasing swirl of allegations concerning the existence of extraterrestrial technology, one man stands firm in his belief that the truth is not just out there, but is on the cusp of being unveiled. Stephen Bassett, a respected figure within the UFO lobby in Washington, D.C., discusses these claims with fervor, firmly asserting that we are on the verge of a momentous shift, a shift towards the acceptance of an alien presence among us.
Bassett asserts that the recent allegations made by an ex-intelligence official, referred to as Grusch, are absolutely authentic. Grusch, a member of the task force, is said to have brought forward statements of profound significance. He claims not only the existence of alien technology but also alludes to the recovery of crashed extraterrestrial vehicles and bodies. According to Bassett, these statements are a confirmation of what many within the UFO lobby have been contending for years, further propelling the conversation into mainstream discourse.
As groundbreaking as Grusch’s claims might be, the fallout, Bassett warns, could present complications for the Senate Intelligence Committee and the White House. Neither, it seems, are ready to navigate the choppy waters of dealing with the potential reality of alien artifacts and extraterrestrial bodies.
Senator Mark Warner, the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, finds himself in a particularly difficult position. Now tasked with investigating these potentially paradigm-shifting revelations, he will be compelled to convene hearings and summon witnesses, with Grusch likely among them. The urgency of the situation is palpable, as the potential for things to spiral out of control looms large if not swiftly addressed.
Bassett predicts that once the hearings begin, the confirmation of an extraterrestrial presence—a moment known in the UFO community as “Disclosure” (capital ‘D’)—is no more than two weeks away. He describes the envisioned scenario vividly: with the hearings likely to be among the most watched in history, the world would be witness to the testimony in real-time. With a potential global audience of hundreds of millions, the media frenzy would be unprecedented, compelling the U.S. President to make a formal announcement confirming the non-human origins of the disclosed technology.
This, according to Bassett, is the ultimate goal of the ongoing UFO discourse—it’s not about discovering what the phenomenon is, but rather setting the stage for an official confirmation of extraterrestrial presence. This period, he compares to the time between a U.S. presidential election in November and inauguration in January: it’s about setting up a scaffolding for the formal passing of power. However, unlike a presidential inauguration, the metaphorical scaffolding erected for the Disclosure doesn’t need to be dismantled post-event. It remains in place, a testament to the transformation of our world view in the aftermath of the confirmation.
As we anticipate this potential revelation, it’s evident that the acceptance of an extraterrestrial presence could alter the course of human history. The world as we know it could change in an instant, ushering in an era where mankind no longer views itself as the sole intelligent life in the cosmos. The ramifications of this ‘Disclosure’ are immense, and as we await these monumental events, one thing is clear: we are living in times that could redefine our place in the universe.
The UFO community has never been more active than it is now. The phenomenon has always been around us but due to the lack of transparency, it never became so open to discussion. Since the last decade, the number of UFO sightings has increased. And now, we are shooting these objects in the air, leaving the whole world to watch them.
Even after thousands of UFO cases including photos and videos, we have no clue who is behind it. China, Russia, the United States have their experts to investigate the UAPs but surprisingly, they do not blame each other. Perhaps, it is non-human technology and no one has any idea from where it came as filmmaker Jeremy Corbell claims.
It is really shocking and weird that nobody paid attention to former AATIP head Luis Elizondo’s statement about “UFO Occupancy and biological samples.” With Curt Jaimungal on his Theories of Everything (TOE) podcast in 2021, Elizondo carefully hinted that “potentially” the U.S. government has acquired otherworldly biological samples. He also suggested that the government has images of UAPs that appear to show beings inside them.
Elizondo spent 20 years as a military intelligence officer in the Pentagon and during his career, he ran the most secretive UFO program Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). In 2017, after the expose of this secret program, Elizondo whistleblew many things he had learned about UFOs and possible non-human intelligence.
“Have there potentially been biological samples recovered?” Curt asked. ELizondo replied: “Yes. I’m not going to expound on that… and be careful when I say that. I’m being purposely very open and vague at the same time, right? What does that mean? Well, it means what it means.”
Besides, when asked if there are photos that show occupants inside “craft,” Elizondo said: “There are some very compelling photos out there that seem to show something inside, some sort of occupancy, And I’ll leave it at that, because it gets really murky, much beyond that.
And there’s a lot that can be speculated. And so I try to avoid speculation as much as possible. But yes, I’ve spoken to enough people with firsthand knowledge that not only report the crafts that we know exists, but potentially some sort of intelligence inside these vehicles.”
Why isn’t this topic being discussed by everyone on the planet? Is it feasible that the majority of people are disregarding this news, even if they are aware of it? At what point does the truth and its mind-boggling consequences become too conspicuous to overlook?
UFO Occupancy Case
Keeping Elizondo’s words in mind, there is a UFO crash incident outside of Edwards Air Force Base involving a contactee survivor with at least one other witness. It happened to a young woman named Lorraine Dvorak Cordini in 1971. This case is mentioned in different books with minor changes.
According to the eyewitnesses, one summer evening in 1971, the calm Californian night was suddenly broken by a sharp unearthly roar, which ended with an equally frightening rumble. When people ran out of their houses, a large cloud and signs of flames were visible near Edwards Air Force Base in California. Several people stated that they had allegedly seen “three gray humanoids,” as well as a human woman in a strange, tight-fitting pink suit, among the ruins of some wrecked vehicle.
However, before anyone knew what had happened, a lot of military trucks and other vehicles arrived and quickly isolated the area. In addition, they removed the debris and any signs of the incident and took the humanoids and the woman with them. Some residents assumed they were taken to Edwards Military Base.
A witness named Debbie Clayton reported that she had heard a loud crashing noise. There was a cloud of dust outside her home. Ufologist Albert Rosales tracked down that mysterious woman in a pink bodysuit, and she agreed to undergo a hypnotherapy session to remember the events of that night.
Lorraine claimed that she had been abducted from her home, dressed in pink clothes, and taken to a large ship in Earth orbit for an inspection.
She was then put in a smaller ship – the one that crashed – and sent back to Earth with several strange creatures. She woke up already in the military hangar. Even stranger, at least according to the hypnosis sessions, while being there, she saw not only military personnel but also strange creatures with large heads, different from those that took her out of her room.
Needless to say, this whole story seems very strange and raises doubts about its veracity. Clayton was baffled when she found no newspaper written about the story and there was no news about it on TV as well.
It was the first case of the only human survivor found at a Crash Retrieval. Researcher Richard Geldreich Jr. has written details on this case and found the identity of the witness and contactee. Lorraine or Lori was working on her autobiography in 2009 but it never came out, perhaps she passed away before bringing it to the world.
Elizondo is certain about UFO occupancy and recovered alien biological samples. He even gave his candid take on the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico and more in an interview with the Roswell Daily Record.
He said he had conversations with so-called “graybeards” at the Pentagon who had been involved with UAPs since Project Blue Book. It was from these individuals that Elizondo learned what probably occurred at Roswell in 1947.
Elizondo said: ”These individuals were convinced that the events in New Mexico were not fiction. In fact that it was a, very much a real event and that some very exotic material was recovered… And then there was a subsequent effort to try to be very dismissive about what occurred in New Mexico.”
On UAP Phenomenon, Elizondo noted: “This is something we’ve been dealing with for a long time. Imagine the first person to get on a boat and sail over the horizon. There’s stories of sea monsters and Krakens that will devour you and destroy your boat. Yet, we did it anyways. We did sail, and we explored the world. It turns out, 500 years later, there really are sea monsters. We call them the Great Squid of the Pacific, and great white sharks and whales.
Now they’re just part of nature and have a scientific name, but those sea monsters still exist. They’re there, we just learned to understand them. Maybe this is the same thing. Maybe this is just another expedition over the horizon where we’re going to realize what we thought were monsters are really just neighbors.”

Central Weekend - S E T I. What do Aliens look like & have we been visited?Please read description.
Central Weekend take a look at what Aliens look like and some of these astronomers are off their rocker. Another one sided argument rigged up against Ufologists. Heather Cooper is so full of herself and is ignorantly cocky. They obviously come on here just to bait the audience and have a laugh and think they're being funny.
On December 25, 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launched toward its new home about a million miles from Earth. After months of instrument calibration, flight time, and testing, the world beheld its first science images one year ago today. On JWST’s first anniversary, we look back on the best images the telescope produced in its debut year.
When NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency released the first glimmers of what their next-generation telescope was capable of, astronomers and the general public got a deeper look into the wonders of the universe.
From the corners of the Solar System to the farthest-seen reaches of space, JWST has stared into a broad spectrum of worlds. Here are some of the highlights over the last year.
THE EARLY UNIVERSE
Light pours forth from the deepest recesses of the universe and snags onto the four instruments housed within JWST. Much of this light hasn’t been seen before by human eyes. Last year’s observations revealed contours to faraway galaxies that previously looked like blurry dots. Those that already had a bit of shape to them are coming into sharper focus, now that they have met an instrument sensitive enough to notice their faint beacons from across the universe.
1. A glance at the PEARLS field
This Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science (PEARLS) survey image brims with thousands of galaxies. The farthest are from roughly 13.5 billion years ago, just slightly younger than the age of the universe. Some have never been seen before, while others emerge clearer than ever before with “streams, tails, shells, and halos of stars” in their outskirts. PEARLS looked at the constellation Draco in August and September 2022.
2.The JADES field
The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program not only viewed galaxies from just 350 million years after the Big Bang, but it also collected data about what elements might be inside them. For the team involved in the work, the sight of these ancient galaxies in JWST’s stunning imagery was a “special experience.”
RINGS AND EXOPLANETS
When JWST glimpses other stars and the ensemble of objects orbiting them, astronomers get an idea about the universe to which the Sun and the Earth were born. JWST is capable of rendering extraordinary details about relatively obscure celestial bodies that emit no light themselves. So far, the telescope has gleaned data from some of the atmospheres, and has even confirmed rings, around these extrasolar worlds.
3. Chariklo
Chariklo is a small icy body that, like the planet Saturn, has rings. JWST helped confirm the existence of the rings when it saw the blinks created when Chariklo and its rings passed in front of a star. Although Chariklo is more than 2 billion miles away from Saturn, JWST’s observations may possibly be a trove of information on fine details about the rings, like their thicknesses and the color of their particles. JWST studied Chariklo in October 2022.
4. Fomalhaut
When the Hubble Space Telescope had gazed at nearby Fomalhaut, this young star and its pre-planetary disk of material looked like an oval haze. New JWST imagery shows a more in-depth picture. Fomalhaut’s two inner rings are visible for the first time, with clear divisions possibly being the place where exoplanets are carving out the cloud. A third ring, located at the disk’s outermost edge, may be a scene where two icy young planets are slamming into each other, and creating what JWST sees as a halo.
NEBULAS
Nebulas are places where the remnants of stellar deaths come back together to form a new generation of stars. Their processes are critical to understanding how the most basic units of our universe are born. JWST’s sensitivity also makes for stunning images of these already eye-catching places.
5.Pillars of Creation
The Pillars of Creation appear “in their full glory” as JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument narrowed in on the columns of dust and gas that lend their majesty to this object’s name. The Pillars of Creation are a portion of the Eagle Nebula, a stellar nursery located 6,500 light-years away. Astronomers can use this imagery to better understand how the young stars form in this region.
6. A protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula
In another nebula closer to Earth, about 1,350 light-years away, there lies the Orion Nebula. In the protoplanetary disk around a young star, JWST discovered a special molecule associated with the formation of life’s building blocks. The observations also produced some of JWST’s most beautiful imagery.
THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM
JWST has peered into the far reaches of the Solar System. Neptune and Uranus appear with a clarity that hasn’t been seen since the Voyager missions decades ago. In the case of Jupiter and Saturn, JWST has offered a grand perspective from its near-Earth perch.
7. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
An almost surreal look at Saturn (top right) has already excited astronomers who would like to discover new, faint rings around the dazzling planet. The absorption of light that JWST notices across this global view could also tell astronomers something about how seasons play out on Saturn. JWST gazed at Saturn in June 2023.
JWST observations of Neptune (bottom right) offer a muted color alternative to the bright blue seen through visible light. Astronomers have gained their best look at Neptune since Voyager 2 flew past the distant giant in 1989. The infrared wavelengths that JWST is designed to soak up could reveal, in Neptune’s case, a deeper understanding about its stormy weather. JWST took this picture of Neptune in July 2022.
When JWST got a spectacular view of Uranus (bottom left), six of its 27 moons also came into view. One of the most vivid elements of the imagery are Uranus’ rings, which are fully visible because the planet rotates on its side, almost like a bowling ball. Out of 13 rings, 11 of them are visible in the JWST image taken in February 2023.
Jupiter (top left) and its relatively-unknown moon Amalthea made a splash in JWST imagery. The poles of the giant planet are coated with a localized glow: these are actually auroras as they appear in infrared light.
8. Enceladus
The Cassini mission discovered last decade that Saturn’s moon Enceladus has geysers. This hints at a deep ocean below the tiny moon, potentially capable of sustaining life. From its distant vantage point, JWST noticed a particularly massive plume erupting from its surface, capable of lifting icy particles off the moon into the rest of the Saturn system.
STELLAR FORMATION
9. Phantom Galaxy
Thanks to JWST’s observations of spiral galaxies like NGC 628, astronomers can follow the channels and lanes of star-making dust and gas. JWST’s infrared data reveals the interplay between phenomena at both big and small scales, and offers a way to understand how local starbursts are related to a galaxy’s grand overall structure. NGC 628 is also known as the Phantom Galaxy or Messier 74, and it’s located relatively nearby at just 32 million light-years away.
10. Protostar L1527
JWST looked at an object not yet a star, which might resemble what the Sun looked like billions of years ago. The bright point at the center of this JWST image, protostar L1527, is only 100,000 years old, and much too young to have kickstarted the nuclear fusion quintessential to stars. The hourglass shape is created as the protostar and its protoplanetary disk emanate heat out into the shroud of material that swaddles it.
PLANETARY DEFENSE
11. Dimorphos
JWST caught the moment that NASA successfully slammed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos, a moon of the near-Earth asteroid Didymos. This animation begins with JWST footage just before the impact through five hours after the strike. JWST captured plumes of material lofted into space away from the impact site. DART and the JWST footage took place in September 2022.
There is much more that JWST captured of our cosmic home in the last year. The slate of upcoming targets is a promising sign that the best images are still to come.

IN BEELD. Met dit bijzondere plaatje viert de James Webb ruimtetelescoop zijn eerste verjaardag
Van onze kosmische achtertuin in het zonnestelsel tot verre sterrenstelsels uit het begin der tijden, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) heeft zijn belofte waargemaakt om het universum als nooit tevoren te onthullen tijdens zijn eerste jaar als werkzame ruimtetelescoop. Om dit te vieren maakte JWST een afbeelding van een stervormingsgebied in het Rho Ophiuchi-wolkencomplex. Al had het evengoed een impressionistisch schilderij kunnen zijn.
Om zijn eerste verjaardag te vieren maakte de James Webb ruimtetelescoop een beeld van het stervormingsgebied dat zich het dichtst bij onze planeet bevindt. Op amper 390 lichtjaren ligt het Rho Ophiuchi-wolkencomplex. Hierdoor kon de ruimtetelescoop een zeer gedetailleerde close-up maken. En dat levert een ongezien en prachtig afbeelding op.
Wat we zien is een gebied met ongeveer 50 jonge sterren. Allemaal met een massa vergelijkbaar met onze zon of zelfs kleiner. De donkere gebieden zijn dikke cocons van stof waarin er zich protosterren vormen, zogenaamde ‘sterren in wording’. In het rood zien we enorme stralen van waterstof. Die vormen zich wanneer een ster voor het eerst door haar geboorteomhulsel van kosmisch stof barst. Een beetje zoals een pasgeborene die voor het eerst haar armen uitstrekt in de wereld. De ster middenin de gele stofwolk lijkt zich een soort van grot te hebben uitgehouwen. S1, zoals de ster heet, is de enige ster in deze afbeelding die zwaarder is dan onze zon. Sommige sterren in de afbeelding vertonen veelbelovende schaduwen. Die wijzen namelijk op protoplanetaire schijven waaruit planeten kunnen geboren worden.
“In slechts één jaar tijd heeft de James Webb Space Telescope de kijk van de mensheid op onze kosmos getransformeerd. Voor het eerst konden we in stofwolken kijken of licht zien uit de verste uithoeken van het universum. Elke nieuwe afbeelding is een nieuwe ontdekking, waardoor wetenschappers over de hele wereld vragen kunnen stellen en beantwoorden waar ze ooit nooit van hadden kunnen dromen”, aldus NASA-beheerder Bill Nelson. Dat bevestigt ook Nicola Fox van NASA’s Science Mission afdeling: “Op zijn eerste verjaardag heeft de James Webb Space Telescope zijn belofte al waargemaakt om het universum te onthullen en de mensheid een adembenemende schat aan beelden en wetenschappelijke data te schenken die tientallen jaren zal meegaan.”
Dat dit internationale samenwerkingsproject al een enorme impact heeft gehad op de wetenschap en ongetwijfeld nog zal hebben staat buiten kijf. “Duizenden ingenieurs, wetenschappers en leiders hebben hun levenspassie in deze missie gestoken, en hun inspanningen zullen ons begrip van de oorsprong van het universum – en onze plaats daarin – blijven verbeteren.” Met de JWST is een nieuw tijdperk van wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen begonnen.

This UFO Photo CANNOT be Debunked!
This UFO Photo CANNOT be Debunked!
In the realm of unexplained phenomena and potential extraterrestrial encounters, one story that stands tall above many others is that of an allegedly authentic UFO photograph taken over Costa Rica’s Lake Cote in September 1971. The picture was captured by Sergio Luiza while he was on an aerial mission, surveying the landscape for map creation. What started as a seemingly ordinary survey mission quickly turned into a tale that would captivate UFO enthusiasts and researchers worldwide for decades to come.
The peculiar snapshot that Luiza took presented a disc-like object, glistening near the edge of the frame above the lake. The mysterious object bore an uncanny resemblance to the classic depiction of a Flying Saucer – a feature that has made this photo a centerpiece in numerous debates and discussions around UFO sightings.
Interestingly, this photo did not gain the prominence it deserved until 2021, when attorney and UFO enthusiast Esteban Carranza managed to obtain a copy of the original negative. Carranza’s attempt to produce a high-quality scan of the photo created a stir among the UFO enthusiast community, rekindling interest in the picture that had laid dormant for decades.
After Carranza released the enhanced image on Twitter, the internet was set ablaze with countless theories and debates, challenging experts and enthusiasts alike to decipher the anomaly captured in the photograph. Journalist MJ Banayas pointed out an intriguing aspect of the photograph: the frame preceding this snapshot and the one following it showed no signs of the disc-like object. This anomaly gave birth to a slew of theories, including notions of the object being capable of cloaking itself, moving at incredible speeds, or even having interdimensional capabilities.
Speculation around the UFO sighting was fueled further by the geographical context. The photograph was taken near the Arenal Volcano, which was the most active in Costa Rica until 2010. This coincidence did not go unnoticed by ufologists, who often theorize that alien craft might be attracted to high-energy sites like volcanoes for potential refueling.
While there is endless debate about the why and the how of the phenomenon, one question remains: What exactly is this disc-like object? Experts have weighed in, ruling out the possibility of a hoax. Mark d’Antonio, an astronomer and video effects designer, pointed out that the light and shadow on the disc did not match those on the terrain, making it unlikely to be a physical object similar to the standard conception of a UFO.
D’Antonio’s theory suggests the anomaly might be due to a fracture in the glass covering of the camera caused by a gravel strike, akin to a chip in a car windshield. However, this theory, too, fails to explain why the object appeared in only one of the frames.

The Proof Is Out There: UFO Photo CANNOT be Debunked! (Season 3)
Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy further examined the photograph and, based on the focal length, deduced that the object had to be at least 48 feet long. Given that the photograph was taken in 1971, it rules out the possibility of the object being a drone or any modern aircraft.
With the experts ruling out conventional explanations and admitting the presence of a genuine unidentified flying object, the Costa Rican UFO photograph continues to spark curiosity and intrigue. This unexplained snapshot from the past serves as a compelling testament to the existence of the inexplicable and invites us to wonder about the endless possibilities the universe may hold.
Despite thorough analyses and examinations, the peculiar UFO sighting over Lake Cote remains an enigma to this day. As intriguing as the photo itself is the mismatch between the shadows and the light, further deepening the mystery. Thus, while the Costa Rican UFO photo continues to capture imagination and fascination, the quest to truly understand this enigma from the skies remains an open journey – a testament to our enduring curiosity about the unexplained.
Congressman on intelligence committee says aliens 'have the technology to turn humans into charcoal briquettes' and Government has been covering up UFO existence since 1890
Congressman on intelligence committee says aliens 'have the technology to turn humans into charcoal briquettes' and Government has been covering up UFO existence since 1890
Tennessee congressman revealed he has seen compelling evidence of UFOs
He said aliens have technology that could 'turn us into a charcoal briquette'
A Tennessee congressman investigating UFOs claims the crafts appear to 'defy physics as we know it.'
Republican Tim Burchett believes there is no question the objects in the skies are not of this Earth and have abilities to fly underwater and never leave behind heat trails.
Burchett - who is on the House Oversight Committee overseeing UFO hearings - has been shown classified footage not yet released to the public.
The congressman told the Event Horizon podcast this week that 'we've been dealing [with government coverups] since 1947, probably since about 1897 in what was the Aurora Texas 'UFO crash.'
'They [extraterrestrial craft] can travel light years or at the speeds that we've seen defy physics as we know it,' Burchett said during the podcast.
'They can fly underwater and don't show a heat trail.'
He continued to explain that if these otherworldly beings have technology unlike anything we know on Earth, then 'they' could 'turn us into a charcoal briquette.'
'We are out of our league,' the congressman continued. 'We couldn't fight them off what we wanted to. That's why I don't think they're a threat to us, or they would already have been.'
Republican Tim Burchett urges the US government to be honest with Congress and the public about the strange sightings in the skies. He said he is 100 percent sure he has seen compelling evidence of UFOs
Burchett believes secrecy comes down to power, corruption and money's influence.
The statements appear to piggyback on those made by the Pentagon whistleblower who claimed this month that the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades - and some of the 'non-human intelligence' discovered are malevolent and have even killed humans.
Grusch is a decorated Afghanistan combat officer who went on to work for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
In interviews and classified briefings on Capitol Hill, Grusch has said that the US and other nations are also engaged in a top-secret '80-year arms race' to weaponize the crashed UFOs.
'The existence of complex historical programs involving the coordinated retrieval and study of exotic materials, dating back to the early 20th century, should no longer remain a secret,' in Grusch's view.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio also revealed he had been approached by several high-ranking government officials with top-level security clearances who said they had 'first-hand' knowledge of UFO programs.
Grusch has claimed that the information he received has been illegally withheld from Congress as the military, the intelligence community and their private contractors have raced to take advantage of the technology quietly.
Burchett claims the crafts defy physics. They have abilities to fly underwater and never leave behind heat trails
Burchett made the statements in a recent podcast, claiming the government is aware of the technology and has been covering it up since the 1890s when a news clipping described an 'airship' crashing down from the sky
And this is what Burchett and his colleagues hope to overcome in the upcoming UFO hearings.
'We don't need to fund anybody anymore. Let's just turn loose the reports, quit with the redacted reports that look like Swiss cheese with everything whited out or blacked out, and just give us all the information and let the American public decide,' he said, speaking with Event Horizon's host John Michael Godier.
'We can handle it. Stop with the arrogance. Stop with the corruption. Let's get it all out there.'
Burchett claimed the government is already aware of the technology and has been covering it up since the 1890s when a news clipping described an 'airship' crashing down from the sky.
When asked if the strange things we see in the skies might impact national or global security because it is not of this world, the congressman quickly answered: '100 percent, no question.'
The statements appear to piggyback on those made by Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch, who claimed the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades - and some of the 'non-human intelligence' discovered are malevolent and have even killed humans.
New lab analysis of the metal spheres reveals they are 'anomalous' and stronger than any observed meteor produced by nature, according to Professor Avi Loeb, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department who led the research
Burchett is sure that there is a massive cover-up by the government that stems back to that recorded incident in Texas, which claimed an airship fell from the sky.
The newspaper clipping states locals spotted an airship sailing through the skies at six o'clock in the morning, which was traveling at 'a speed of only 10 or 12 miles per hour.'
The report claims it soared over the public square and smashed into a windmill, where it broke into pieces 'in a terrifying explosion.'
The clipping continues to explain that a single pilot was in the ship and his remains were badly disfigured, but not enough to know that 'he was not an inhabitant of this world.'
T.J. Weems, US signal service officer, claimed he was a native of the planet Mars.
The news clipping ends with a note about the pilot's funeral taking place the next day and it is said the remains are buried in the town.
However, a 1980 Time magazine interview with Etta Pegues, an 86-year-old Aurora resident, claimed that the reporter made up the story to bring tourists to town.
The disputed story echoes what happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1974 - a UFO was claimed to have crashed, but the story was later denied.
'Anybody who could connect the dots with Roswell isn't alive to do that,' said Burchett, who said evidence from the crash could have been given to a private company for secrecy.
He explained that billion-dollar corporations have similar capabilities to the US government.
'So if the government gave them something 60 years ago, you know, say they recovered something and handed it over to a company, and it's easier to keep it secret this way than it is to keep it within government,' said the congressman.
The first data release from the CEERS survey features a region known as the Extended Groth Strip and sends viewers back to shortly after the Big Bang.
A new 3D visualization from the James Webb Space Telescope takes viewers on a journey back in time to just after the Big Bang.
In the video, over 5,000 galaxies can be seen in gorgeous full color and three dimensions. The cosmic journey begins with relatively nearby galaxies located within a few billion light-years of Earth and concludes at Maisie's Galaxy, which at 13.4 billion light-years from Earth is one of the most distant galaxies ever observed by humanity and is seen as it was just around 390 million years after the Big Bang.
As such, this new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) video doesn't just represent a journey through space but also a trip back through time, rewinding cosmic evolution back to a period when the 13.8 billion-year-old universe was under a third of its current age.
The video is the result of data collected by the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS) and explores a region of space called the Extended Groth Strip. The Extended Groth Strip is located between the constellations of Ursa Major and Boötes and contains around 100,000 galaxies. It was extensively imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope between 2004 and 2005, and the new observations by the JWST build on the groundwork laid by Hubble.
Of particular interest to astronomers in this visualization is Maisie's Galaxy, serving as an example of the kind of early galaxy that the JWST is capable of studying. The powerful space telescope does this by observing the universe in infrared.
This is useful because as light from early galaxies travels billions of years to reach us, the expansion and the universe and the fact that it loses energy causes its wavelength to "stretch." This results in electromagnetic radiation that left the galaxies shortly after the Big Bang as optical light being "redshifted" down the electromagnetic spectrum past the red end of the visible light spectrum to infrared. The longer the light has traveled, the more extreme the redshift it experiences, making infrared the best way to see early galaxies.
"This observatory just opens up this entire period of time for us to study," Rochester Institute of Technology researcher and CEERS investigator Rebecca Larson said in a statement. "We couldn't study galaxies like Maisie's before because we couldn't see them. Now, not only are we able to find them in our images, we're able to find out what they're made of and if they differ from the galaxies that we see close by."
The goal of investigations using the CEERS data will be to learn more about the formation of early galaxies.
"We're used to thinking of galaxies as smoothly growing," Finkelstein concluded. "But maybe these stars are forming like firecrackers. Are these galaxies forming more stars than expected? Are the stars they're making more massive than we expect? These data have given us the information to ask these questions. Now, we need more data to get those answers."

Ross Coulthart’s statement on an alleged huge UFO buried outside the United States unleashed a storm in the UFO community. He claims that he knows the exact location of this craft. Now, UFO enthusiasts are hunting the alleged site where this gigantic immovable craft could possibly be sitting. There is no confirmation from Coulthart about the nature of this craft if it was retrieved. However, some have speculated this could be an archeological dig. Could this particular craft potentially be a remnant of a bygone civilization?
Scientists have explored the possibility of detecting ancient civilizations in Earth’s geological record. A recent paper called “The Silurian Hypothesis” discusses how traces of industrial civilizations could be found. While fossils and artifacts are unlikely to survive over millions of years, anomalous changes in chemical compositions could serve as clues. By studying geological anomalies and applying models to other planets, scientists hope to understand if civilizations existed in the distant past.
NASA has spent many years seeking the truth regarding extraterrestrial life. Furthermore, the space agency has never denied the existence of non-human life beyond Earth in any form. This is sufficient to discuss the idea of non-human life existing beyond Earth in any form, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Avi Loeb, a professor at Harvard, has supported the idea that there may have been earlier civilizations on both Earth and Mars, and that these civilizations may have been the origin of UAPs.
He writes: “Planets like Mars or Earth could have given multiple births to technological civilizations that were a billion years apart and hence were not aware of each other. Like stable parents, the planets recovered from the environmental impact of these civilizations over time. We may have been separated in time from siblings that we never had the opportunity to meet and so we are unaware of their existence.”
Considering these two possibilities, former Pentagon UFO official Lue Elizondo shared a truly eye-opening statement in his interview with James Iandoli of Engaging The Phenomenon on June 11, 2021. They discussed crash retrievals and materials related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Elizondo acknowledged the sensitivity of the topic and the potential consequences of discussing it openly.
However, Elizondo expressed his belief that the US government does possess exotic materials but could not provide further details due to the lack of transparency from the government. He mentioned the three layers of analysis that can be conducted on a piece of material, namely physical, chemical, and atomic or nano-level research.
Rogan asked: “Have you ever asked anyone that has any inkling of any idea of where they got them or how they got them?” Lazar replied, “No, but something must have been said to me from Barry (his lab partner) and… but I… I can’t quite remember what was said, but it just left a seed in my mind. I think at least one of them was part of an archaeological dig, so it’s old. Something, that one at least one of them is old. I don’t know if it was the one I worked on, but I remember something to do with an archaeological dig.”
He suggested that if a piece of material exhibits engineered characteristics and peculiarities outside the normal range of known materials, it raises questions about its origin and the technology used to create it. He concluded by using an analogy of finding an out-of-place object in King Tut’s tomb to illustrate the significance of finding advanced materials before our known technology existed.
“Let’s say nickel or aluminum or magnesium or bismuth. Then you have to say, ‘Okay, who created it and how?’ And at the end of the day, when you have material that has been found before, supposedly, we as a species had a technology to engineer it that way, then you’ve got to ask the question. And this is why I’ve said before, you know, a 747 isn’t uncommon to see at an international airport.
But imagine being the first guy to break into King Tut’s tomb, and of all the things you find in there, you find an intact 747 sitting in the tomb. Doesn’t make sense, does it? Because 747s weren’t around when King Tut was around. So, what the hell is a 747 doing in King Tut’s tomb? So, that’s the best analogy that I can use without going into further detail. I’ve tried to be very careful.
You know, I don’t want to be dismissive of your question because it’s an important question. I would ask the same exact question. But I also have to be very, very careful. And if you notice, other folks like Hal and Eric and others, they’re very careful to have this conversation too. Yeah, okay, yeah, it’s not just me. I’m not just being paranoid and cagey here. There’s… You’re actually the most out in the open. They’re… They still, you know…”
Many members of the UFO community interpreted Elizondo’s analogy as a subtle hint that UFOs could be considered as archaeological findings. Surprisingly, on the Joe Rogan Experience, Bob Lazar recalls hearing that at least one of the recovered UFOs was found during an archaeological dig, suggesting that it is ancient rather than simply old.
Mr. Loeb believes it is possible that some of the technological advancement devices made by early inhabitants of Mars and Earth are still operational elsewhere in the Solar System. He suggests that “in that case, old flying gadgets could be a source of some of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in reports from the Director of National Intelligence to the US Congress.” (Source)
Professor Loeb is not alone in thinking of the advanced civilization that once inhabited Mars. Physicist John E. Brandenburg explained in this 2015 study what could have happened on Mars. The planet that once had an Earthlike atmosphere faced a massive thermonuclear explosion that destroyed its atmosphere. The study considered the Cydonian Hypothesis and Fermi’s Paradox. (Source)
In 2019, a team of astronomers led by Dr. Samantha Oates of the University of Birmingham discovered one of the most powerful transients ever seen – where astronomical objects change their brightness over a short period. Oates and her colleagues found this object, known as J221951-484240 (or J221951), using the Ultra-Violet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) on NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory while searching for the source of a gravitational wave (GW) that was thought to be caused by two massive objects merging in our galaxy.
As they described, the team found J221951 while searching for the progenitor of a gravitational wave (GW) event (S190930t) detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Advanced Virgo detector on April 1st, 2019. Swift was one of several observatories participating in the search for the sources of GW candidates released by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration. Based on the GW signal, the event was thought to be the result of a kilonova, where two neutron stars merge (or a neutron star and a black hole), releasing a tremendous amount of energy and gravitational waves in the process.
Kilonova events typically appear as bright blue bursts that fade and turn redder over the next few days. But when Dr. Oats and her team viewed J221951 with Swift’s UVOT, they noticed that the transient did not appear blue or change color or fade as rapidly as expected. Follow-up observations with Hubble‘s Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) obtained ultraviolet spectra from J221951, which revealed that it was not associated with the previously-detected GW event.
The spectra further indicated that the source was about 10 billion light-years distant, whereas the GW signal was detected less than 0.5 billion light-years away. “The key discovery was when the ultraviolet spectrum from Hubble ruled out a Galactic origin,” said Dr. N. Paul Kuin, a team member from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London, in a recent Royal Astronomical Society press release. “This shows how important it is to maintain a space-based UV spectrograph capability for the future.”
The team’s research suggested that J221951 resulted from an SMBH that consumed surrounding material suddenly and rapidly. This was confirmed by optical and infrared data that previously detected a red galaxy in the vicinity of J221951, and the location of the bright burst is consistent with the galaxy’s center. Furthermore, the UV spectra showed absorption features consistent with a huge release of energy, which pushed and was absorbed by gas and dust surrounding the black hole. Combined with its brightness, the data revealed that J221951 is one of the most dramatic events ever seen where a black hole suddenly “switched on.”
This discovery is part of a growing body of research that shows how SMBHs play a very active role in a galaxy’s star formation. As these behemoths gobble up material, such as gas, dust, and even stars, they release intense bursts of energy that disrupt star-forming material within the galaxy’s central region and disk. Dr. Matt Nicholl, a member of the team from Queen’s University Belfast, explained:
“Our understanding of the different things that supermassive black holes can do has greatly expanded in recent years, with discoveries of stars being torn apart and accreting black holes with hugely variable luminosities. J221951 is one of the most extreme examples yet of a black hole taking us by surprise. Continued monitoring of J221951 to work out the total energy release might allow us to work out whether this is a tidal disruption of a star by a fast-spinning black hole, or a new kind of AGN switch on”.
The team also identified two possible mechanisms that could explain the sudden and voracious feeding behavior. On the one hand, it is possible that an orbiting star passed close to the SMBH and was pulled apart – known as a tidal disruption event (or more commonly as “spaghettification”). A second possibility is that J221951 is an active galactic nucleus (AGN), known as a “quasar,” that began feeding on its accretion disk. In other words, the SMBH at the center of this galaxy “woke up” from its previously dormant state. In the future, Dr. Oates and her colleagues hope to take advantage of next-generation telescopes and their imaging capabilities to investigate J221951 further. As she added:
“In the future, we will be able to obtain important clues that help distinguish between the tidal disruption event and active galactic nuclei scenarios. For instance, if J221951 is associated with an AGN turning on we may expect it to stop fading and to increase again in brightness, while if J221951 is a tidal disruption event we would expect it to continue to fade. We will need to continue to monitor J221951 over the next few months to years to capture its late-time behavior.”
Artificial Intelligence Driven Robots Will “Kill Us All”
Artificial Intelligence Driven Robots Will “Kill Us All”
Despite the ruling class’s insistence that humans are killing the planet so climate change will kill us all, that’s probably not the case. Artificial intelligence is a much bigger threat than the propagandized joke climate change has become.
According to a report by USA Today, the hordes of artificially intelligent robots will probably kill us first long before climate change will even matter. Either way, we are going to be killed off and it’s going to be our fault. It’s never the dogmatic belief in the ruling class that got us here, it’s all the slaves that serve the rulers who fly their private jets around the world while preaching about the slaves lowering their standard of living.
If you’ve been busy doom-scrolling on social media or just floating merrily along on the algorithms that already control our lives, you might have missed a recent event in Geneva that focused on artificial intelligence. It was a United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union conference called the AI for Good Global Summit, a title I’m sure the few humans who survive the eventual robot uprising will chuckle about while huddled in dank caves hiding from killer drones.
The facial expressions on Ameca's robot could rate as clever or creepy depending on your mood.

Organizers of the summit didn’t specify to what extent the answers were scripted or programmed by people. The summit was simply meant to showcase “human-machine collaboration,” and some of the robots are capable of producing preprogrammed responses, according to their documentation. The United Nations Development Program’s Sophia, for example, sometimes relies on responses scripted by a team of writers at Hanson Robotics, the company’s website shows.
AI advancement is becoming a nightmarish reality. People are concerned about machines taking over and enslaving them, yet seem to be OK with other humans enslaving them. This is such an odd time to be alive.

James Webb ruimtetelescoop blaast eerste kaarsje uit: zijn mooiste beelden en spectaculairste ontdekkingen
James Webb ruimtetelescoop blaast eerste kaarsje uit: zijn mooiste beelden en spectaculairste ontdekkingen
Morgen vieren we de eerste verjaardag van de James Webb ruimtetelescoop. Op 12 juli 2022 toonde Webb zijn eerste afbeeldingen aan de wereld. Het begin van een jaar gevuld met heel wat prachtige beelden en wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen. Van de vroegste sterrenstelsel ooit tot de meest gedetailleerde analyse van een planeet zijn atmosfeer buiten ons zonnestelsel. Hier een overzicht gemaakt door onze redactie zodat je helemaal bij bent of nog eens kan nagenieten.

Het was president Joe Biden die de eerste foto van de nieuwe James Webb ruimtetelescoop (JWST) mocht vrijgeven. Op de foto zagen we in kleur duizenden sterrenstelsels die miljarden jaar oud waren. Om dit beeld te maken werd de James Webb gericht op een stukje hemel dat de naam SMACS 0723 draagt. Dit is vanop de zuidelijke hemisfeer van onze planeet (en dus niet vanuit België) te zien in het sterrenbeeld Vliegende Vis of Volans.
Om dit eerste beeld te creëren, verzamelde de Webb-telescoop gedurende 12,5 uur licht van verschillende golflengten. De Hubble had weken de tijd nodig om foto’s te maken van de SMACS 0723-cluster aan sterrenstelsels. De JWST is dan ook honderd keer gevoeliger dan de beroemde ruimtetelescoop.
Niet veel later werden nog 3 andere foto’s vrijgegeven. Het ging om Stephan’s Quintet (een visuele groepering van vijf sterrenstelsels), de ‘zuidelijke Ringnevel’ (de nevel is duizenden jaren geleden uitgestoten door de stervende ster) en de Carinanevel (een kraamkamer voor nieuwe sterren). Daarnaast was er ook nog een spectrum dat liet zien dat er in de atmosfeer van Wasp-96 b water aanwezig was.
Niet veel later ontdekt de JWST voor het eerst dat er CO2 in de atmosfeer van de exoplaneet Wasp-39b zit. Een primeur voor de telescoop. Gasreus WASP-39b draait op 700 lichtjaar afstand van de aarde rond zijn ster. Voor het eerst heeft het observatorium onomstotelijk bewijs geleverd dat er koolstofdioxide (CO2) voorkomt in de atmosfeer van een planeet buiten ons zonnestelsel. Dankzij wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen zoals deze krijgen we een beter zicht op hoe planeten en zonnestelsels zich vormen en hoe uniek wij zijn.
Daarna was het tijd voor de een foto van het Karrenwielstelsel dat zich op zo’n 500 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde bevindt. Tot nu toe was dit stelsel wat in nevelen gehuld als we met de Hubble keken door de grote hoeveelheden stof. Maar doordat de JWST naar infraroodlicht kijkt kan hij door al dat stof heenkijken waardoor de spaken in het wiel plots zichtbaar worden. Dit trucje past de JWST ook toe voor de Tarantula-nevel. Plots worden duizenden nooit eerder waargenomen sterren zichtbaar.
Maar de JWST is tot nog veel meer in staat. Zo legt de ruimtetelescoop samen met Hubble de DART-missie vast op beeld. De bedoeling van deze missie van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA was om na te gaan of een impact met een stelliet de baan van een asteroïde kan veranderen. De JWST keek hoe de DART-satelliet insloeg op de ruimterots Dimorphos, die zich op dat moment op een afstand van 11 miljoen kilometer van onze aarde bevond. Dimorphos is een “maantje” van de grotere asteroïde Didymos.
De James Webb-telescoop ontdekt in zijn eerste jaar ook een rotsachtige exoplaneet die bijna even groot is als aarde. De planeet, die officieel LHS 475 b wordt genoemd, is bijna even groot als de onze en heeft een diameter van 99 procent van de aarde. Daarmee brengt JWST ons steeds dichter bij een nieuw begrip van aardachtige werelden buiten het zonnestelsel, en dat terwijl de missie nog maar net begonnen is.
KIJK.
Hoe ziet James Webb eruit en hoe werkt hij precies?
En soms kan je ook iets perongeluk ontdekken. Europese astronomen zagen met de James Webb Ruimtetelescoop (JWST) “per toeval” een asteroïde in de asteroïdengordel tussen de planeten Mars en Jupiter. De asteroïde, ongeveer zo groot als het Romeinse Colosseum, is het kleinste object dat tot nu toe met de ruimtetelescoop is waargenomen. De ontdekking vond plaats tijdens het kalibreren van het infrarood-instrument. De ongelooflijke gevoeligheid van de telescoop maakte het mogelijk om dit object van ongeveer 100 meter breed op een afstand van meer dan 100 miljoen kilometer waar te nemen.
Maar voor hetzelfde geld zie je iets wat er eigenlijk niet zou mogen zijn? Zo zag JWST begin dit jaar plots sterrenstelsels die bijna zo groot zijn als onze eigen Melkweg. Op zich niets uitzonderlijk, ware het niet dat niemand ze op die plaats had verwacht. Meer nog, ze konden daar gewoonweg niet zijn. Volgens analyses is het licht van de sterrenstelsels vertrokken toen ze amper 500 tot 700 miljoen jaar oud waren. Het universum stond op dat moment nog in zijn kinderschoenen, net na de oerknal. Dat er toen al sterrenstelsels bestonden is niet verrassend, wel dat ze zo goed ontwikkeld waren. De sterrenstelsels lijken te groot, de sterren te oud. Dat is volledig in strijd met onze bestaande ideeën over hoe het universum er in zijn beginjaren uitzag en evolueerde. Misschien is het dus tijd om de kosmologische theorieën over hoe sterrenstelsels na de oerknal ontstonden te herschrijven?
Al zullen de meeste mensen vooral de prachtige beelden van de ruimtetelescoop zijn eerste jaar onthouden. Neem nu bijvoorbeeld de iconische “Zuilen van de Schepping”, een van de mooiste en bekendste bezienswaadigheden van onze kosmos. Maar evengoed slaagde JWST erin om een prachtig en uitzonderlijk verschijnsel vast te leggen op beeld: een stervende ster (de Wolf-Rayetster) vlak voordat ze explodeert in een supernova.
En je hoeft niet altijd ver te reizen om mooie beelden te zien. Dat bewijst ook de James Webb meerdere keren. Zo maakte de ruimtetelescoop ook beelden van de reuzen uit ons zonnestelsel Jupiter, Uranus, Neptunus en Saturnus.
