Webb’s observations, which combine near- and mid-infrared light from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), respectively, clearly show that a hazy cloud of gas and stars (blue) links them together. The close approach also set off tremendous bursts of star birth in the colliding clouds of gas and dust.

Eventually, after several close approaches in their cosmic dance, these two galaxies will merge completely. Observers hundreds of millions of years in the future will look at Arp 142 and see one massive elliptical galaxy.

Interestingly, Webb’s sharp infrared eyes also picked out very distant galaxies. Some lie beyond this cosmic collision, although at least one lies about a hundred million light-years closer to Earth. It bristles with hot, young, newborn stars.

How The Arp 142 Galaxies Experience a Merger

The Penguin and Egg galaxies lie about 100,000 light-years apart but they affect each other. The Egg’s gravitational pull distorts the spiral and that interaction is “sculpting” the Penguin. The core makes up the eye of a penguin. The slowly unwinding spiral arms form a beak, head, backbone, and tail.

Webb’s infrared view reveals otherwise unseen activity between the two. For example, the Penguin is rich in dust. Webb’s view shows us how gravitational interactions pull that dust away from the Penguin. There are also scads of new stars in the galaxy, surrounded by what looks like smoke. Webb’s view shows this hydrogen cloud. It’s rich in carbon-based molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These are incredibly abundant in the Universe and astronomers find them just about everywhere they point a telescope.

By contrast, in Webb’s view, the Egg looks like it’s hardly been touched—it’s still an egg-shaped elliptical. It has much older stars than the Penguin. Past epochs of star birth have pretty much used up the available star-making material. So, even though the two galaxies have about the same mass, the Egg just doesn’t have as much material to get stretched out or turned into stars.

Zeroing in on Webb’s Two Views

If you look at both of Webb’s infrared views of the galaxy collision, you can see marked differences in them. That’s because each one prioritizes a different set of infrared wavelengths. In the mid-infrared view, the egg looks tiny and washed out. That’s because the instrument sees only the old stars in the Egg. By contrast, the Penguin’s distorted core and spiral arms are brimming with young stars embedded in the PAH-rich hydrogen clouds.

The combined near- and mid-infrared view shows more of the gas clouds as the Egg tears them away from the Penguin. These regions will glitter in the future with the light of newly formed stars. For now, however, only cooler, older stars are visible in the combined image. The younger ones are there, but the mid-infrared-sensitive instrument doesn’t spot them.

Why Does Webb Study Galaxy Collisions?

By studying this galactic collision site, the Webb telescope further probes the activity as galaxies evolve. Collisions are an integral part of this process. Our Milky Way Galaxy will dance with the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, starting in about 5 billion years. Images and data from observations of other galaxies doing the same thing give astronomers a chance to understand the process and forecast the distant future when something called “Milkdromeda” will contain the stars and planets of two spirals that once were close neighbors.

Preliminary research on the concept was done as part of a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) grant in 2018. That research showed that it was better to lift two opposing feet off the ground at the same time to ensure the balloon’s stability. It also demonstrated where the concept would be most useful—Titan.

Balloon locomotion is typically considered somewhere like Venus, where it could float in the atmosphere in conditions similar to Earth. However, that altitude would make controlling a payload placed on the ground exceedingly tricky. Additionally, the harsh conditions close enough to the ground to be feasible would make the material requirements of the system untenable.

Similarly, a balloon could also work on Mars, but the high wind speeds of the sparse atmosphere would make controlling the balloon difficult. Titan offers the best of both worlds – a relatively stable, thick atmosphere where a negatively buoyant balloon would be feasible and stable environmental conditions that wouldn’t blow BALLET everywhere.

It also has many interesting places to explore, including cryovolcanoes and methane lakes. BALLET would allow traversal over even some of the most difficult terrain without accounting for considerations that would dramatically affect the capabilities of either a rover or a helicopter, such as the planned Dragonfly mission. 

There are still plenty of design considerations, though, such as the difficulty of controlling all the different variables, such as balloon orientation, cable length for each of the 18 cables, and pathfinding, simultaneously. After the completion of the Phase I project, the concept appears to be on hold in terms of receiving further funding from NASA at this point.

However, in terms of applications, BALLET also has some obvious ones on Earth. One that immediately sprang to mind is the collection of “nodules” as part of an undersea mining operation. Given the increased need for cobalt and other materials provided in those nodules and the bad image that comes from the destruction of the seabed that comes with traditional mining techniques, this idea might be one of those rare space exploration ideas that sooner sees an application on Earth than off of it.

Cassini’s radar instrument had two basic modes: active and passive. In active mode, it bounced radio waves off surfaces and measured what was reflected back. In passive mode, it measured waves emitted by Saturn and its moons. Both of these modes are called static modes.

But Cassini had a third mode called bistatic mode that saw more limited use. It was experimental and used its Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) to bounce signals off of Titan’s surface. Instead of travelling back to sensors on the spacecraft, the signals were reflected back to Earth, where they were received at one of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DNS) stations. Critically, after bouncing off of Titan’s surface, the signal was split into two, hence the name bistatic.

A team of researchers has used Cassini’s bistatic data to learn more about Titan’s hydrocarbon seas. Their work, “Surface properties of the seas of Titan as revealed by Cassini mission bistatic radar experiments,” has been published in Nature Communications. Valerio Poggiali, a research associate at the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science, is the lead author.

The signals that reach the DNS are polarized, which reveals more information about the hydrocarbon seas on Titan. While Cassini’s radar instrument revealed how deep the seas are, the bistatic radar data tells researchers about both their compositions and surface textures.

“The main difference,” Poggiali said, “is that the bistatic information is a more complete dataset, and is sensitive to both the composition of the reflecting surface and to its roughness.”

The experimental bistatic radar required meticulous cooperation.

Philip Nicholson, a professor in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell, is one of the study’s co-authors. “The successful execution of a bistatic radar experiment requires exquisite choreography between the scientists who design it, Cassini mission planners and navigators, and the team who collects the data at the receiving station,” Nicholson said.

These results are based on bistatic radar data from four Cassini flybys from 2014 to 2016. In this work, the researchers focused on three large seas on the surface of Titan’s polar regions: Kraken Mare, Ligeia Mare and Punga Mare.

The bistatic radar data revealed new information about the three seas. Though they’re all hydrocarbon seas, their composition varies based on latitude and their proximity to other features like estuaries and rivers. The bistatic radar measured the dielectric constant of Titan’s seas. The dielectric constant is a material’s capacity to store electrical energy. In practical terms, it’s a measure of a surface’s reflectivity, so it reveals the composition. Earth’s water has a dielectric constant of about 80. Titan’s methane and ethane seas have a dielectric constant of only about 1.7. Kraken Mare’s southernmost region had the highest dielectric constant.

Bistatic radar data also showed all three seas had calm surfaces during the four flybys. Waves were no more than 3.3 mm, about 0.13 of an inch. Near estuaries, straits, and coastal areas, the waves were slightly larger: 5.2 mm or 0.2 of an inch. So small they barely merit the name ‘wave.’

The bistatic radar data also revealed the composition of some of the rivers that flow into the seas.

“We also have indications that the rivers feeding the seas are pure methane,” Poggiali said, “until they flow into the open liquid seas, which are more ethane-rich. It’s like on Earth, when fresh-water rivers flow into and mix with the salty water of the oceans.”

These results agree with scientific models of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas and thick atmosphere. Models show that methane rains down from Titan’s atmosphere and then flows into its lakes and seas. They also show that the rain contains only tiny amounts of ethane and other hydrocarbons and almost completely consists of methane.

“This fits nicely with meteorological models for Titan,” Nicholson said, “which predict that the ‘rain’ that falls from its skies is likely to be almost pure methane, but with trace amounts of ethane and other hydrocarbons.”

The Cassini mission is very instructive for future missions. Though it ended its mission when it plunged into Saturn in 2017, scientists are still making new discoveries with its vast trove of data. The same will be true of missions like Juno when they end.

The researchers behind this work say there’s lots left to learn from all of Cassini’s data.

“There is a mine of data that still waits to be fully analyzed in ways that should yield more discoveries,” Poggiali said. “This is only the first step.”

Since asteroids are leftover material from the formation of the Solar System (ca. 4.5 billion years ago), this rendezvous is also an opportunity to obtain data that could provide new insights into planetary formation and evolution. This makes the 2029 flyby an extremely rare opportunity for astronomy, asteroid science, planetary defense, and for engaging billions of people worldwide. It will also be an opportunity for international collaboration, as previously demonstrated by the DART and the ESA’s Hera missions – the former redirected Didymos while the latter confirmed a change in orbit.

Last, but not least, the RAMSES mission will test the ability of space agencies to build and deploy an asteroid response quickly. As Richard Moissl, heading ESA’s Planetary Defence Office, explained:

“Ramses will demonstrate that humankind can deploy a reconnaissance mission to rendezvous with an incoming asteroid in just a few years. This type of mission is a cornerstone of humankind’s response to a hazardous asteroid. A reconnaissance mission would be launched first to analyse the incoming asteroid’s orbit and structure. The results would be used to determine how best to redirect the asteroid or to rule out non-impacts before an expensive deflector mission is developed.”

Unfortunately, the VIPER project ran into a series of delays, due to snags in the testing and development of the rover as well as the Astrobotic Griffin lander that was to deliver the rover to the lunar surface. The readiness date for VIPER and Griffin was most recently pushed back to September 2025.

During an internal review, NASA managers decided that continuing with VIPER’s development would result in cost increases that could lead to the cancellation or disruption of other moon missions in NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, or CLPS. NASA notified Congress of its intent to discontinue development.

The budgeted cost for building VIPER was $433.5 million, and the estimated cost of building and launching the Griffin lander is $235.6 million, according to a 2022 report from NASA’s Office of the Inspector General.

NASA said it will continue supporting Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One, with launch set for no earlier than the fall of 2025. Instead of delivering VIPER, the mission would provide a flight demonstration of the lander and its engines. In January, Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander passed up an opportunity to land on the moon due to a problem with its propulsion system.

NASA said other missions could verify the presence of ice in the moon’s south polar region and determine how such resources could be used to further exploration goals.

“We are committed to studying and exploring the moon for the benefit of humanity through the CLPS program,” Nicola Fox, NASA’s associate administrator for science, said today in a news release. “The agency has an array of missions planned to look for ice and other resources on the moon over the next five years. Our path forward will make maximum use of the technology and work that went into VIPER, while preserving critical funds to support our robust lunar portfolio.”

Late this year, for example, Intuitive Machines is due to deliver an ice-mining experiment called PRIME-1 to the south pole under the terms of the CLPS program. PRIME-1 is designed to drill for water ice and study what happens to the H₂O when it’s brought up to the surface.

In league with NASA, the CLPS program and a wide array of other partners, the Canadian Space Agency is planning to send an ice-hunting rover to the lunar south polar region by as early as 2026. The Artemis program’s crewed missions will also study the moon’s ice deposits and how they can be used.

NASA said it plans to disassemble VIPER and arrange for the reuse of the rover’s components and scientific instruments for other missions to the moon. But prior to disassembly, the agency said it would consider expressions of interest from commercial and international partners for use of the existing VIPER rover system at no cost to the federal government. Interested parties can email HQ-CLPS-Payload@mail.nasa.gov anytime between July 18 and Aug. 1.

NASA said the VIPER team would conduct an “orderly close-out” through next spring.

Word of VIPER’s demise was met with disappointment in some quarters of the space community. “In the Artemis era, why is lunar science targeted for cancellation?” Laura Seward Forczyk, founder and executive director of the space consulting firm Astralytical, asked in a posting to the X social-media platform.

Phil Metzger, a planetary physicist at the University of Central Florida, said NASA was making a “bad mistake.”

“This was the premier mission to measure lateral and vertical variations of lunar ice in the soil,” Metzger wrote in a posting to X. “It would have been revolutionary. Other missions don’t replace what is lost here.”

• READ MORE:  One of US' deadliest roads revealed as experts find UFO 'evidence'

By TIM MCGOVERN

The internet is awash with videos appearing to show UFOs flying near high-speed planes, warheads and even nuclear reactors - and experts have an alarming theory for why these locations are being targeted.

In 1976, British Airways aired an ad for their Concorde flight in which an orb-like UFO darts toward the aircraft at an incredibly high speed, seemingly analyzes the plane and then accelerates away.

The unconfirmed UFO appearance - which has resurfaced on Reddit's UFOs subchannel, where alleged videos of craft are shared, debunked or given the upvote if they're deemed to be legitimate  - is one of many that shows the odd, almost inquisitive behavior of these unknown objects. 

In June 2022, at the Queen's Jubilee, the longest-serving royal monarch was honored by a cadre of nine fighter jets spewing streams of smoke in the Union Jack's red, white and blue colors — and one unidentified disc.

Despite it making the rounds on media, no clear answer has ever been provided as to what it was.

Even more curious is the nearly dozen UFOs that appeared above Japan's Fukushima lab after its nuclear disaster in 2011. Witnesses told the Netflix docuseries, Encounters, that the UFOs saved them by lowering radioactivity levels.

Local outlets caught several glimmering white orbs above the plant — extremely similar to the previous instances — dipping into the lab before emerging again, in a sort of assembly line.

In pop culture, the History Channel show The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch has features dozens upon dozens of similar UFOs over their five seasons, with many appearing after a rocket has been test-fired by their scientists into the air. 

There has been a litany of explain-away reasons for these various occurrences provided by skeptics, from bugs to balloons. But for researchers who have dedicated their lives to this phenomenon, there is much more to theses videos than on their face value.

The question emerges: are UFOs approaching high-speed aircraft because they are concerned they contain nuclear capability?

Experts in the field have already analyzed similar behavior as proof that whatever is up there is concerned about us, especially when it comes to the prospect of blowing ourselves up with nukes.

UFO sightings over America's nuclear arsenal appeared to shift their interest from the making of the bombs to silos and bomber bases as the Cold War arms race grew (above)

UFO activity and nuclear devices and sites have been intertwined since the invention of the Atom Bomb in 1945. And the phenomenon been observed by civilians and military personnel alike.

'All of the nuclear facilities — Los Alamos, Livermore, Sandia, Savannah River — all had dramatic incidents where these unknown craft appeared over the facilities and nobody knew where they were from or what they were doing there,' investigative journalist George Knapp told History.com.

The former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, Lue Elizondo, agreed that there 'seems to be a lot of correlation' between UFO appearances and nuclear sites.

And independent researcher Robert Hastings, who has been working toward full government disclosure of UAP activity, said in 2010, 'Declassified US government documents and witness testimony from former or retired US military personnel confirm beyond any doubt the reality of ongoing UFO incursions at nuclear weapons sites.' 

Now, new research — in the form of three studies helmed by a retired US Air Force staff sergeant, Larry Hancock, and a data analyst affiliate with Harvard's UFO-hunting Galileo Project, Ian Porritt — shows that not only has there been unusual activity around nuclear weapons and facilities, it's shifted over the years.

At first seemingly interested in the production of nuclear weapons, UFOs later sprouted up around silos and bomber bases.

'You would see this interest' at silos when they were being installed before 'the activity would drop off,' Porritt previously told the DailyMail.com.

These patterns in the historical UFO record, according to the researchers, was also accompanied by another clear trend: As the UFOs appeared more and more over armed and ready nuclear weapons sites, the apparent craft also started to appear more at night (above)

Haunting connection between UFOs and America's nuclear weapons is laid bare in new study 

And when a new arsenal of ICMBs was built in the 1960s, UFOs became 'much more intrusive' in their approach of ICBM bases, Porritt said. 'They're very low altitude, they penetrate the security perimeters of the base.'

Two Air Force veterans previously told DailyMail.com they have testified to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in June 2023 that UFOs turned off their nuclear warheads.

On top of that, former US Air Force ICBM launch officer Robert Salas said he was contacted by the AARO in an email to gather information after he said he an orange flying disc shut off 10 warheads at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana in 1967.

Despite a thorough investigations by the military, no conclusion was drawn, but not before Salas said he was forced to sign an NDA on the matter by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

This echoes what former US Air Force First lieutenant Robert Jacobs said happened in 1964, when a UFO 'deactivated' an unarmed warhead in 1964.

UFO hunters claim to be in possession of debris from alien space craft that is lighter than a petal

• X-Ray tests seem to show sample is not known metal
• Russian researcher claims it may be from crashed craft
• READ MORE Ukrainian soldier saw UFO 'bigger than Empire State Building' 

By ROB WAUGH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

That means that it is either not a metal or a totally unknown metal different from all others in the periodic table, the researchers claim

Because of its unique light and porous texture, MUFON has floated the idea that the sample resembles 'debris from a craft' — after the Russian researcher who obtained the sample claimed it might be the remnants of a crashed UFO.

But independent UFO experts have questioned the find, saying that it's just the latest in a long line of samples which 'could be of alien origin,' but then turn out not to be.

MUFON researcher Bob Spearing claims the material conforms to nothing known in tests

Investigators showed off tiny scraps of the material, in a presentation at the MUFON International Symposium.

The group claims that further samples were stolen from an official US Post Office Box, after the sample's Russian finder attempted to mail them to MUFON in the U.S..

'This is typical with evidence of this nature,' MUFON Media Relations Director Ron James said. 

'We believe that this material was deliberately taken by someone who could hack into a locked Post Office Box to prevent further testing.' 

'Who did it is anybody's guess,' according to James.

MUFON researcher Bob Spearing told symposium attendees that he had been approached by a Russian researcher, named Arkady, who said that he had tested the material with Russian geological labs using an X-Ray fluorescence gun. 

The handheld tech, which is similar to hardware on NASA's Mars Perseverance rover, found that 90 percent of the material was unidentifiable, Spearing stated.

'It's very, very light material,' Spearing told attendees. 'It almost looks porous, like it has pores. It has a tinge of gold in it, but it's basically a black material. Seems to be some sort of composite.' 

'It's so light,' he added, 'that it won't even bend a flower.'

The 'metal' is so light it doesn't even bend a flower

A small sample of the metal

Arkady, the Russian researcher who provided the sample, claimed that the material had 'appeared' in his house after he was contacted by a non-human entity who told him it had come from a crashed UFO. 

Later, Russian labs found that the mysterious material was composed of 10-percent calcium, titanium, iron, arsenic and copper, according to Spearing.

This is a tantalizing but inconclusive finding given the mixed reliability of such handheld X-Ray fluorescence (hXRF) devices in identifying the chemical make-up of test samples.

Geologists looking to identify the chemistry of rock formations out in the field, environmental regulators tasked with assessing pollution in soil samples, and even pawn brokers testing jewelry have turned to X-Ray fluorescence guns in recent years.

The devices have offered speed, portability and a noninvasive method for examining the composition of a material that does not destroy that material in the process. 

But researchers have also frequently reported on the technology's limitations. 

One group of environmental scientists in Arizona, for example, reported last year that their portable X-Ray fluorescence tests failed to accurately identify chromium metal content, due to high iron content drowning out the chromium's signal.  

And NASA scientists who helped to prepare for the 2020 Mars Perseverance rover's mission found that their own X-Ray fluorescence guns proved unable to detect some key elements 'reliably.' 

'While this limits the use of the hXRF, especially when compared to laboratory XRF techniques,' those NASA researchers reported, 'hXRF is still capable of providing the field user with significantly improved contextual awareness of a field site.'

Spearing told the symposium that some of Arkady's 90-percent unidentified materials were also shipped to MUFON's lab in Missouri, which found that the sample didn't match up to known metals using another X-Ray fluorescence test.

'That either means it's A) not a metal, or B) a metal alloy that isn't recognized or something in the periodic table,' Spearing said. 

'The signal was unique, because they have looked up the standard peaks for most known metals, and nothing matched it exactly,' he continued.

'By appearance only. It appears to be some sort of lightweight insulation suited to conductive insulating or something needing heat protection, which could correspond to it being a piece of debris from some sort of craft,' he concluded.

Russian tests showed the material was 90% 'unknown'

(MUFON) 

But the plot thickened when Spearing asked a colleague to send him the sample via post — where it appeared to be stolen from Spearing's USPS mailbox.

Cameras had been turned against a wall, inhibiting investigation, although US postal workers testified that they did delivered the box. 

'I went to my mail clerk and said, "Was it delivered?"' Spearing explained. 'And she said, "Yes, Bob, it was delivered. I put the box in your mailbox myself."' 

'So the question becomes, who would be daring enough to remove something from a federal mailbox?' he asked.

Fortunately, the UFO researchers were able to obtain another sample from Arkady, which arrived after sitting in Customs for 17 days.

MUFON stated that the sample will now be sent to two further labs for testing using electron microscopes.

'We have physical materials and more evidence of non-human technology,' James said.

MUFON, short for the Mutual UFO Network, is the largest and oldest civilian UFO research organization in the world.

Active since the late 60s and dedicated to 'the scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity,' MUFON is now a worldwide network of like-minded citizen-investigators with members in all 50 US states.

Not everyone — even among diehard UFO investigators — was convinced by Spearing's presentation, however.

UFO author Nigel Watson, author of Captured by Aliens? A History and Analysis of American Abduction Claims told DailyMail.com that the 'evidence' is just one in a long line of supposed 'debris' from spacecraft which turned out to be nothing of the sort.

'There is a regular flow of 'new' physical evidence to prove cases like the Roswell crash case,' Watson told DailyMail.com.

'Everything so far submitted is usually explained when scientifically examined,' in Watson's view. 'It is all a matter of unrealistic hope versus actual facts.'

AI Focuses Alien Base In Cross Shape, On Earths Moon! UFO Sighting News. 

 

Date of discovery: reposted it in Nov 2018, but I found it in 2015 Location of discovery: Earths moon

Source two:

I just had to focus this alien cross shaped base with ai and wow...ai didn't let me down. This structure just popped! The structure looks to be 2.5-3.5 miles across and it has a dark black jewel roof at its center with what looks like white ribbon on its top. AI is the new tech of the future, we either embrace it or we fall behind. 

 

 I found a large X or cross structure on the moon. The area is broken up into sections, but clearly each section makes up a part of the cross. Not far away I found many other structures of odd shapes and sizes. I found that this old photo from which this came was taken long before photoshop existed, therefore it remained unedited. If you click on the non official source (1st link) it works fine, but if you click on the official NASA link below it, you will find a NASA page with old lunar photos...of which all the links have been destroyed. NASA took the information from my site in 2015 and used it again, yes I said again, to edit their photo index. At the moment is says, "Service unavailable." It always says that. They are keeping vital information about aliens from reaching the public and from reaching the governments of other countries. Scott C. Waring

ORLANDO, Fla. — NASA and Boeing completed tests on the ground looking to mirror conditions that led to problems with the CST-100 Starliner that still awaits the go to bring home a pair of astronauts from the International Space Station.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams docked Starliner at the ISS back on June 6 on the Crew Flight Test mission one day after launching from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.

What was originally planned to be just an eight-day stay on board the ISS has stretched to more than six weeks because of issues with helium leaks and thruster shutdowns on Starliner’s propulsion module as it approached the station.

While NASA has signed off on Starliner as safe enough to get its two NASA astronauts home in case of an emergency, it’s taking its time to look into as much data as possible about the thrusters and helium leaks before giving them the green light to come home and complete the CFT mission.

After docking, the helium lines were shut down, so no more leaking has occurred, but it will begin again once it undocks. NASA has said the spacecraft, though, has ample helium supply to make the trip home. As far as the reaction control thrusters, which are needed for small position corrections, NASA was able to get four of the five that failed on approach back online, although at lower power levels.

It’s a similar issue seen on the previous Starliner flight, the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test 2 in 2022.

A big issue is the problem propulsion hardware, housed on what’s called the service module, won’t make the flight home along with the crew capsule as it is jettisoned before reentry.

So teams took a surrogate engine for hot fire testing at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico, which was completed last week, mirroring both conditions Starliner experienced on the flight up as well as conditions expected for the return home.

Now teams will evaluate all the test firing data and inspect the engine with work expected to last through this week.

“I am extremely proud of the NASA, Boeing team for their hard work in executing a very complex test series,” said Steve Stich, manager, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program in a press release. “We collected an incredible amount of data on the thruster that could help us better understand what is going on in flight. Next, our team has moved into engine tear downs and inspections which will provide additional insight as we analyze the results and evaluate next steps.”

Before NASA will let Starliner undock, Stich said it has to go through an agency flight test readiness review, and that date has yet to be identified.

Stich previously said that return flight could occur before the end of July, but could also remain on station into mid-August with only the launch of the replacement Crew-9 on a SpaceX Crew Dragon looming next month that would cause a traffic jam.

The CFT mission aims to be the last step before NASA signs off on Boeing to begin the first of six contracted flights to ferry crew to and from the ISS before the station’s retirement as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

SpaceX is more than four years ahead of Boeing’s efforts as part of the program, and is in the midst of its eighth operational mission to the ISS.

These yellow crystals were revealed after NASA's Curiosity happened to drive over a rock and crack it open on May 30. Using an instrument on the rover's arm, scientists later determined these crystals are elemental sulfur—and it's the first time this kind of sulfur has been found on the Red Planet.

Scientists were stunned on May 30 when a rock that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover drove over cracked open to reveal something never seen before on the Red Planet: yellow sulfur crystals.

Since October 2023, the rover has been exploring a region of Mars rich with sulfates, a kind of salt that contains sulfur and forms as water evaporates. But where past detections have been of sulfur-based minerals—in other words, a mix of sulfur and other materials—the rock Curiosity recently cracked open is made of elemental (pure) sulfur. It isn't clear what relationship, if any, the elemental sulfur has to other sulfur-based minerals in the area.

While people associate sulfur with the odor from rotten eggs (the result of hydrogen sulfide gas), elemental sulfur is odorless. It forms in only a narrow range of conditions that scientists haven't associated with the history of this location. And Curiosity found a lot of it—an entire field of bright rocks that look similar to the one the rover crushed.

"Finding a field of stones made of pure sulfur is like finding an oasis in the desert," said Curiosity's project scientist, Ashwin Vasavada of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. "It shouldn't be there, so now we have to explain it. Discovering strange and unexpected things is what makes planetary exploration so exciting."

It's one of several discoveries Curiosity has made while off-roading within Gediz Vallis channel, a groove that winds down part of the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) Mount Sharp, the base of which the rover has been ascending since 2014. Each layer of the mountain represents a different period of Martian history. Curiosity's mission is to study where and when the planet's ancient terrain could have provided the nutrients needed for microbial life, if any ever formed on Mars.

NASA’s Curiosity captured this close-up image of a rock nicknamed “Snow Lake” on June 8, 2024, the 4,209th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Nine days earlier, the rover had crushed a similar-looking rock and revealed crystalline textures—and elemental sulfur—inside.

Floods and avalanches

Spotted from space years before Curiosity's launch, Gediz Vallis channel is one of the primary reasons the science team wanted to visit this part of Mars. Scientists think that the channel was carved by flows of liquid water and debris that left a ridge of boulders and sediment extending 2 miles down the mountainside below the channel. The goal has been to develop a better understanding of how this landscape changed billions of years ago, and while recent clues have helped, there's still much to learn from the dramatic landscape.

While exploring Gediz Vallis channel in May, NASA’s Curiosity captured this image of rocks that show a pale color near their edges. These rings, also called halos, resemble markings seen on Earth when groundwater leaks into rocks along fractures, causing chemical reactions that change the color.

Since Curiosity's arrival at the channel earlier this year, scientists have studied whether ancient floodwaters or landslides built up the large mounds of debris that rise up from the channel's floor here. The latest clues from Curiosity suggest both played a role: Some piles were likely left by violent flows of water and debris, while others appear to be the result of more local landslides.

Those conclusions are based on rocks found in the debris mounds: Whereas stones carried by water flows become rounded like river rocks, some of the debris mounds are riddled with more angular rocks that may have been deposited by dry avalanches.

Finally, water soaked into all the material that settled here. Chemical reactions caused by the water bleached white "halo" shapes into some of the rocks. Erosion from wind and sand has revealed these halo shapes over time.

"This was not a quiet period on Mars," said Becky Williams, a scientist with the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, and the deputy principal investigator of Curiosity's Mast Camera, or Mastcam. "There was an exciting amount of activity here. We're looking at multiple flows down the channel, including energetic floods and boulder-rich flows."

A hole in 41

All this evidence of water continues to tell a more complex story than the team's early expectations, and they've been eager to take a rock sample from the channel in order to learn more. On June 18, they got their chance.

While the sulfur rocks were too small and brittle to be sampled with the drill, a large rock nicknamed "Mammoth Lakes" was spotted nearby. Rover engineers had to search for a part of the rock that would allow safe drilling and find a parking spot on the loose, sloping surface.

After Curiosity bored its 41st hole using the powerful drill at the end of the rover's 7-foot (2-meter) robotic arm, the six-wheeled scientist trickled the powderized rock into instruments inside its belly for further analysis so that scientists can determine what materials the rock is made of.

Curiosity has since driven away from Mammoth Lakes and is now off to see what other surprises are waiting to be discovered within the channel.

EXCLUSIVE: We're all often told not to take our work home with us, but for one avid UFO expert this was seemingly made hard to do after he returned from a shoot to find a UFO loitering near his house

What do you make of it? Let us know in the comments 

(Image: Youtube/NubTV)

A UFO investigator has spotted a strange orb he thinks might have followed him home after visiting “The British Roswell”.

Mark Christopher Lee had been in Suffolk making a film in Rendelsham, Suffolk about a 1980 UFO incident that was reported there. But when he got home, he had the strange feeling that something might have followed him home from the shoot.

He felt it weird that, after being away working purely on unidentified phenomena, he returned home to more of the same. “I just question whether we brought something back with us from Rendelsham Forest? Or was it something else?” Mark said.

He told the Daily Star: “It was definitely weird – at first I thought it was an aircraft, but it wasn’t, there was light reflecting off it. There are planes nearby, we get a lot of planes because we live near Luton Airport.

“It wasn’t moving, planes come towards you or go away, it was just kind of swaying side to side a little bit. It wasn’t a balloon, there was a bit of a breeze so it would have had more movement. It seemed to be blipping in and out.

“Bear in mind it was a beautiful blue sky and no clouds in the sky. Where was it blipping to? It kept coming back it was very weird.

“It’s definitely unexplained. It was too low for a satellite. I’m quite rational so I try and rule things out but I was left speechless. The fact that it was in the daytime as well.

“I just wonder if there was anyone else in the area that saw it.”

A tiny village sandwiched in between Glasgow and Edinburgh has been labelled the UFO hotspot of the UK thanks to hundreds of sightings reported by locals every year

A small village in Scotland is at the centre of a UFO hotspot region compared to the Bermuda Triangle.

For decades Bonnybridge, Falkirk a tiny beauty spot in the south of the country has been at the forefront of thousands of mysterious UFO sightings.

With a population little over 5,000, the village that is placed directly in between Glasgow and Edinburgh was once a beacon for industry. But it is now known for something very different.

Often branded as the UK's answer to Roswell, there have been an average of 300 UFO sightings across the region every year. The reported spacecrafts supposedly take on all different shapes and sizes including cigar shaped crafts over head and even some instances of alien abductions.

Such is the mystery around the strange phenomena that the area has even been coined the 'Falkirk Triangle'.

Many have mused down the years whether the village could be a passage into another dimension, much like the Bermuda Triangle is reported to be. Others have also proposed that the Forth and Clyde Canal acts as a Bermuda-eque stream in between dimension.

And, in a documentary made by TalkTV one encounter stands out ahead of the rest as Councillor for Falkirk, William Buchanan recalls: "I was in the house one night, and I'd just come back from the council, and what happened is, I'd seen a car coming into the driveway and I went out to find out who it was. It was a chap I've known all my days and he say's 'is it okay, can we talk?'.

He continues: "He said 'I need to talk to somebody'. This individual was having an assignation, they were making love, but the problem was that this was his brother's wife, so that in itself was a situation."

Study: Biological Amino Acids Could Survive in Near-Surface Ices of Europa and Enceladus

Europa and Enceladus are key targets to search for evidence of alien life in our Solar System. However, the surface and shallow subsurface of these airless icy moons are constantly bombarded by ionizing radiation that could degrade chemical biosignatures. Therefore, sampling of icy surfaces in future life detection missions to Europa and Enceladus requires a clear understanding of the necessary ice depth where unaltered organic biomolecules might be present. A team of scientists from NASA and the Pennsylvania State University has conducted experiments by exposing individual biological and abiotic amino acids in ices to gamma radiation to simulate conditions on these icy worlds.

The surface of Europa looms large in this newly-reprocessed color view; image scale is 1.6 km per pixel; north on Europa is at right.

Image credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / SETI Institute.

“Based on our experiments, the ‘safe’ sampling depth for amino acids on Europa is almost 20 cm (8 inches) at high latitudes of the trailing hemisphere (hemisphere opposite to the direction of Europa’s motion around Jupiter) in the area where the surface hasn’t been disturbed much by meteorite impacts,” said Dr. Alexander Pavlov, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

“Subsurface sampling is not required for the detection of amino acids on Enceladus — these molecules will survive radiolysis (breakdown by radiation) at any location on the Enceladus surface less than a few millimeters (a tenth of an inch) from the surface.”

Dr. Pavlov and his colleagues used amino acids in radiolysis experiments as possible representatives of biomolecules on icy moons.

Amino acids can be created by life or by non-biological chemistry.

However, finding certain kinds of amino acids on Europa or Enceladus would be a potential sign of life because they are used by terrestrial life as a component to build proteins.

Proteins are essential to life as they are used to make enzymes which speed up or regulate chemical reactions and to make structures.

Amino acids and other compounds from subsurface oceans could be brought to the surface by geyser activity or the slow churning motion of the ice crust.

To evaluate the survival of amino acids on these worlds, the researchers mixed samples of amino acids with ice chilled to about minus 196 Celsius (minus 321 Fahrenheit) in sealed, airless vials and bombarded them with gamma-rays, a type of high-energy light, at various doses.

Since the oceans might host microscopic life, they also tested the survival of amino acids in dead bacteria in ice.

Finally, they tested samples of amino acids in ice mixed with silicate dust to consider the potential mixing of material from meteorites or the interior with surface ice.

The experiments provided pivotal data to determine the rates at which amino acids break down, called radiolysis constants.

With these, the scientists used the age of the ice surface and the radiation environment at Europa and Enceladus to calculate the drilling depth and locations where 10% of the amino acids would survive radiolytic destruction.

Although experiments to test the survival of amino acids in ice have been done before, this is the first to use lower radiation doses that don’t completely break apart the amino acids, since just altering or degrading them is enough to make it impossible to determine if they are potential signs of life.

This is also the first experiment using Europa/Enceladus conditions to evaluate the survival of these compounds in microorganisms and the first to test the survival of amino acids mixed with dust.

The scientists found that amino acids degraded faster when mixed with dust but slower when coming from microorganisms.

“Slow rates of amino acid destruction in biological samples under Europa and Enceladus-like surface conditions bolster the case for future life-detection measurements by Europa and Enceladus lander missions,” Dr. Pavlov said.

“Our results indicate that the rates of potential organic biomolecules’ degradation in silica-rich regions on both Europa and Enceladus are higher than in pure ice and, thus, possible future missions to Europa and Enceladus should be cautious in sampling silica-rich locations on both icy moons.”

“A potential explanation for why amino acids survived longer in bacteria involves the ways ionizing radiation changes molecules — directly by breaking their chemical bonds or indirectly by creating reactive compounds nearby which then alter or break down the molecule of interest.”

“It’s possible that bacterial cellular material protected amino acids from the reactive compounds produced by the radiation.”

AI Focuses UFO Over Brazil Drops Two Objects, Feb 2011, UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 11, 2011 

Location of sighting: Sao Paulo, Brazil

 

I really wanted to run some screenshots of this UFO though ai, and quickly realized that this really was a UFO as it came into focus. AI helps some photos get focused and cleaned up so that we can see the true detail. Sometimes AI can't, so I have to go through about 20-30 sighting photos before I find one thats focuses. AI is the tool of the future for all UFO researchers world wide.

Dit is de reden waarom de aarde langzamer draait en de dagen langer worden: volgens een onderzoek is het onze schuld

Door Janine

Dat de aarde steeds langzamer draait is geen mysterie, tenminste niet binnen de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap. De redenen hiervoor zijn divers en hebben te maken met de natuurlijke processen die onze planeet beïnvloeden... voor het grootste deel. Volgens recent wetenschappelijk onderzoek vertraagt de rotatiesnelheid van de aarde echter door toedoen van de mens en zijn activiteiten. Laten we eens kijken hoe dit mogelijk is en wat de gevolgen zijn voor onze samenleving.

Van de maan tot de gletsjers: een reis op een steeds trager wordende planeet

Zoals we in de inleiding zeiden, is het onderhand bekend dat de rotatiesnelheid van de aarde om haar as noch vast, noch constant is, voornamelijk als gevolg van twee verschillende processen:

• aan de ene kant vertraagt de kern van de Aarde haar rotatiesnelheid;
• aan de andere kant verwijdert de Maan zich steeds verder van de Aarde.

Dit zijn natuurlijke processen die leiden tot werkelijk oneindige veranderingen in de rotatiesnelheid van onze planeet, en dus ook in de lengte van de dagen. Door de verwijdering van de maan zal de dag van de aarde bijvoorbeeld 25 uur duren, maar over 200 miljoen jaar. Toch spreekt onderzoek uitgevoerd door het centrum ETH Zürich in samenwerking met NASA over een andere factor die de rotatiesnelheid van de aarde zou kunnen vertragen: de stijging van de temperatuur als gevolg van menselijke activiteiten.

Het verband lijkt werkelijk paradoxaal, maar het is er wel. Onderzoekers hebben namelijk ontdekt hoe hogere temperaturen een kettingreactie hebben veroorzaakt die de dagen op aarde feitelijk verlengt. Het smelten van gletsjers op Antarctica en Groenland leidt er feitelijk toe dat miljoenen kubieke meters water over het hele aardoppervlak worden verspreid, waardoor de rotatiesnelheid van de planeet effectief wordt vertraagd.

De gevolgen van de vertraging van de aarde… op aarde

In hun eerste onderzoek, gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift PNAS, merken de onderzoekers op hoe de temperatuurstijging om antropogene redenen leidt tot langere dagen. Hetzelfde team publiceerde echter ook een tweede onderzoek in het tijdschrift GeoScience, waarin ze kijken naar hoe smeltende gletsjers bijdragen aan het veranderen van de positie van de rotatie-as van de aarde. Samen met andere verschijnselen, zoals de eerder genoemde bewegingen van de kern van de aarde, verschuift de rotatie-as elke 100 jaar ongeveer 10 meter.

De effecten die kunnen worden toegeschreven aan smeltende gletsjers en menselijke activiteiten zijn minimaal, maar er is geen reden tot vreugde. Alle verschijnselen die door de onderzoekers zijn geanalyseerd, zijn namelijk terug te voeren op natuurlijke verschijnselen, en dat hebben we gezien: de maan die afstand neemt, het effect van de getijden, de binnenkern en haar bewegingen, enzovoort. In zo'n beeld speelt echter ook de hand van de mens een rol en kan leiden tot plotselinge versnellingen van deze processen.

De gevolgen van de vertraging van de aarde... voor de mens

De interne en externe processen op aarde zijn daarom meer met elkaar verbonden dan we denken: zoals we hebben gezien, kunnen ze elkaar beïnvloeden,  maar ook de menselijke activiteiten die bijdragen aan het veroorzaken ervan. Hoewel de vertraging van de rotatiesnelheid van de aarde momenteel minimaal is en de dagen slechts fracties van een seconde langer worden, zijn de gevolgen voor de mens al aanzienlijk.

De tijdmeting van de mens is gebaseerd op uiterst nauwkeurige atoomklokken. Deze precisie wordt echter in gevaar gebracht door de interactie tussen de verschillende factoren die bijdragen aan het verlengen van de dagen op aarde. Het risico is dat we minder nauwkeurige GPS hebben, met alle gevolgen van dien voor alle menselijke activiteiten.

Aan de andere kant: als de vertraging tot 2000 tussen de 0,3 en 1 milliseconde per eeuw lag, zitten we nu op ongeveer 1,3 milliseconden per eeuw, maar dit lijkt voorbestemd om te stijgen. Het is een neerwaartse spiraal waar we de afgelopen decennia steeds meer vertrouwd mee zijn geworden... en die we nog kunnen vertragen als we tijdig handelen.

Amazon UFO Secrets: Researcher Uncovers Mysterious Sounds in the Rainforest

The Amazon rainforest, a place often associated with vast biodiversity and hidden natural wonders, has recently become the focus of UFO research. Brazilian UFO researcher Rony Vernet has uncovered extraordinary phenomena that suggest the presence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) deep within this dense jungle.

In a recent episode of “Reality Check with Ross Coulthart,” Vernet shared his findings after an expedition to the Amazon rainforest, specifically a remote area near the border of Brazil and Peru. Vernet’s journey was inspired by a long history of unexplained UAP incidents in the region, dating back to at least the mid-1970s.

Background on UAP Activity in the Amazon

The Amazon and its surrounding areas have been hotspots for UAP sightings for decades. In 1977, a series of UAP incidents in the Brazilian states of Pará and Maranhão drew significant attention. Hundreds of people reported being struck by light beams emitted from UAPs, particularly around the city of Colares. These incidents led to Operation Saucer (Operação Prato), an investigation by the Brazilian Air Force, which officially found no unusual phenomena. However, locals reported injuries consistent with microwave burns, and some even claimed that individuals were killed by these light beams.

In more recent years, there have been continued reports of UAP activity. In 2013, unidentified aerial phenomena were observed over a village in Acre, Brazil, near the Peruvian border. By 2014, these sightings escalated to UAPs descending into the village and emitting light beams at the indigenous people, prompting an investigation by the National Indigenous Foundation and federal authorities.

Vernet’s Expedition and Findings

Driven by these historical reports, Vernet embarked on an expedition to the Yanawa Indigenous Tribe in Acre province. His goal was to gather firsthand evidence of these phenomena. Over the course of his investigation, Vernet experienced a series of inexplicable events, beginning with what he described as poltergeist-like activity.

On his first night in the jungle, Vernet reported hearing loud, metallic sounds that had no apparent source. These sounds resembled furniture being dragged across a wooden floor, yet there were no structures nearby that could produce such noises. Despite thorough searches, Vernet and his team could not find any logical explanations for these occurrences.

The following night, Vernet explored an abandoned house in the jungle, which was filled with objects as if its inhabitants had left suddenly. Here, he and his team felt an overwhelming sense of fear and coldness, unlike anything they had experienced before. The eerie environment only added to the mystery of the phenomena they were investigating.

Encounters with Luminous Spheres

As Vernet continued his investigation, he began to observe luminous phenomena. Indigenous people frequently reported seeing orange or yellow spheres, described as golden balls of fire, hovering near their homes. These spheres often appeared on the rooftops, seemingly observing the inhabitants. Remarkably, whenever someone attempted to point at or directly engage with the spheres, they would disappear instantly.

On one occasion, while setting up monitoring equipment, Vernet and his team witnessed a large, red-orange sphere less than a meter from the ground and only about five meters away from them. Despite its brightness, the sphere made no noise and could be stared at without discomfort. When Vernet attempted to capture the phenomenon with a drone, the sphere evaded recording by somehow remaining invisible to the drone’s camera despite being clearly visible to the naked eye.

Technological and Sensor Data

Vernet’s research was not limited to visual observations. He brought a variety of sophisticated equipment, including thermal cameras, cosmic ray sensors, infrasound detectors, and microwave antennas, to gather as much data as possible. Notably, during these encounters, he detected a 1.6 GHz signal, a frequency also observed during similar phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch in the United States.

Although some of his sensors were not fully operational during the initial nights, Vernet plans to analyze the collected data to find correlations between the visual phenomena and the sensor readings. His initial findings suggest that the UAPs might have the capability to interfere with electronic devices, as witnessed when camera equipment and flashlights malfunctioned during sightings.

Indigenous Perspectives and Scientific Interpretation

The indigenous communities in the Amazon have their own interpretations of these phenomena, often linking them to spiritual beliefs. The Yanawa tribe, for instance, regards certain areas of the forest as portals where beings from the spirit world traverse into our reality. Vernet’s research, combining modern scientific methods with indigenous knowledge, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these mysterious occurrences.

Conclusion

Rony Vernet’s investigation into the Amazon’s UAP phenomena has provided compelling evidence that these mysterious lights and sounds are more than mere folklore. His findings suggest a highly intelligent phenomenon capable of interacting with and evading human observation. As Vernet continues to analyze the data and collaborate with other scientists, his work could bring us closer to understanding the enigmatic UAPs of the Amazon rainforest.

The combination of scientific inquiry and indigenous wisdom in Vernet’s approach sets a new precedent for UAP research. By respecting and incorporating the knowledge of local communities, researchers like Vernet are paving the way for a more holistic understanding of these phenomena, which could one day unravel the secrets of the Amazon’s skies.

Wetenschappers van een laboratorium in het Franse Marseille hebben gewaarschuwd voor de mogelijkheid van een nieuwe pandemie in de toekomst. Deze zou immers kunnen worden veroorzaakt door een virus dat al meer dan 30.000 jaar bevroren is.

Microben in het noordpoolgebied zouden de oorzaak kunnen zijn, nadat de opwarming van de aarde, de toegenomen menselijke activiteit en de aanwezigheid van schepen in de regio het ontdooi- en smeltproces versnellen.

Volgens de onderzoekers is de kans groot dat deze en andere virussen, als het ontdooiproces doorgaat, zich vrij zullen verspreiden en uiteindelijk nieuwe ziekten veroorzaken.

Dit ‘zombievirus’ werd door laboratoriumonderzoekers ontdekt in een laag Siberische permafrost die duizenden jaren bevroren was in het noordwesten van Siberië.

Het nieuws werd in The Guardian becommentarieerd door de Nederlandse viroloog Marion Koopmans, die beweerde dat “we niet weten welk virus zich in de permafrost bevindt. Maar ik denk dat er een reëel risico bestaat dat er één virus is dat een epidemie kan veroorzaken, bijvoorbeeld een oude vorm van polio. We moeten aannemen dat zoiets zou kunnen gebeuren”, waarschuwde ze.
