Blik op de Ruimte: kleine planetoïden

Foto NASA/JPL

Met behulp van de infraroodsatelliet Spitzer hebben astronomen een planetoïde opgemeten. Het blijkt te gaan om een brokstuk van ongeveer 6 m groot. Uit de metingen blijkt verder dat de planetoïde veel lege ruimte bevat, het zou dus kunnen gaan om een vrij losse samenklontering van puin.

Samen met een andere, vergelijkbare planetoïde, vormt het onderzochte object een mogelijke kanshebber voor de Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM). Bij dit project is het de bedoeling van een kleine planetoïde in te vangen en in een baan rond de maan te brengen. In 2018, één jaar voor de lancering van ARM, maakt de NASA bekend welke planetoïde gekozen wordt.

Blik op de Ruimte: organisch raadsel

Foto NASA/JPL-Caltech/STScI

Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de verscheidenheid van polycyclische aromatische koolwaterstoffen (PAK's) in de atmosferen van sterren in de Grote Magelhaense Wolk veel groter te zijn dan in sterren van onze eigen Melkweg.

Deze organische verbindingen, die ook voorkomen in uitlaatgassen en sigarettenrook, ontstaan in de buitenste lagen van koele, oude sterren. Uiteindelijk worden die buitenste lagen uitgestoten. Eigenaardig genoeg blijkt de verscheidenheid van de PAK's in de uitgestoten gaswolken van de Grote Magelhaense Wolk dan weer nagenoeg gelijk te zijn aan die in de gaswolken in onze Melkweg.

NASA ontwikkelt vliegende schotels om op Mars te landen

Foto NASA

Het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA lanceerde dit weekend een nieuw ruimtetuig dat verdacht veel op een vliegende schotel lijkt. Het tuig, dat bekend staat als de LDSD (Low Density Supersonic Decelerator) moet tegen 2020 in staat zijn grotere en krachtigere robots naar de rode planeet te vervoeren.

Het agentschap schuwt duidelijk enige ironie niet. Vliegende schotels naar Mars laten vliegen lijkt eerder stof voor science-fictionfilm, maar wordt stilaan realiteit. Afgelopen zaterdag werd de schotelvormige LDSD gelanceerd door middel van een heliumballon. Op een hoogte van 36.576 meter werd de ballon losgekoppeld van het toestel, waarna de raketmotor van het tuig het overnam. De LDSD klom snel naar een hoogte van 54.864 meter waarna de parachute openklapte voor een veilige reis naar het aardoppervlak.

De eerste reis van de LDSD was een succes, met uitzondering van de parachute die niet volledig openklapte. Verdere tests moeten uitwijzen of het tuig operationeel kan worden ingezet, maar de toekomst ziet er dus rooskleurig uit. De LDSD werd ontwikkeld om grotere en krachtigere robots naar Mars te sturen. De NASA hanteert namelijk hetzelfde systeem sinds de lancering van de Viking-ruimtetuigen in 1976.

Ondertussen wordt het oppervlak van Mars lustig bestudeerd door de twee Vikinginstallaties en de twee robotwagentjes Spirit en Opportunity. De Spirit belandde drie jaar geleden in technische problemen waarna de missie beëindigd werd. Het wagentje reed in totaal zeven jaar rond op Mars.

Stunning UFO Sighting Over Murrieta/Temecula, CA On June 25, 2014 (Video)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) In the video below, several UFO like objects are captured hovering over the Murrieta/Temecula skies on June 25, 2014. The objects seem to endless flow in the sky, at least 12 of them hovering and floating around. They stay in a somewhat tight formation, yet seem relaxed.

Here’s the account: This group of lights was captured on video by a couple out of their bedroom window. The lights hovered above the mountain for a very long time and every now and then one of the lights would blink out or drop out of the sky. From the video: “These 12 lights appeared out of nowhere…hovered for a long time, while some slowly dropped out of sight, all the while hovering over the mountain top. Video taken from bedroom window facing SW, through the screen.”

20 famous UFO sightings

UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects, have been sighted all across the world. People use these sightings as proof that there is extraterrestrial life on and near Earth. Whether these sightings are actually aircraft from other planets, here are some of the most famous UFO sightings in history.

1. Warden, South Africa, 2000: While traveling a freeway near Warden, South Africa, a police chief is said to have seen a UFO. He described it as a large, orange, oval-shaped light.

2. Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1986: Twenty UFOs were spotted in Sao Paulo BRAZIL in 1986, and the military was sent to intercept them. However, when the aircraft arrived on the scene, the UFOs had vanished. It is assumed that the UFOs were actually debris falling from the Soviet space station and entering the atmosphere over BRAZIL.

3. East Germany, 1990: Two personnel working for the nuclear power plant in Griefswald in East Germany spotted a cluster of unidentified moving lights flying over a sensitive area. They documented the sighting with a photograph.

4. Warrenton, South Africa, 1994: A farmer claims he heard sounds of a noisy craft flying at great speeds next to what he deemed to be a ‘mother ship.’

5. Kolkata, India, 2007: Several people were said to have seen fast-moving flying objects that were triangular or spherical in shape. A bright light surrounded the objects as well, forming what appeared to be a halo around them.

6. North Sea, 1970: An American pilot flying with England’s Air Force, the RAF, reportedly took off to follow an unidentified object over the North Sea. Soon after, his communications were severed, and the plane was eventually found on the bottom of the sea. There was no sign of the pilot, and UFO enthusiasts claim he was abducted by aliens.

7. Texas, 1951: A group of professors at Texas Technical College in 1951 reported seeing lights flying in a “V” formation over their heads.

8. Tehran, Iran, 1976: Two fighter jets were said to have their electronic equipment disabled. The Iranian generals point to extraterrestrial beings as the cause for the malfunction. Though this is on record, there is no proof that anything out of the ordinary should have disrupted their electronics.

9. Georgia, 1969: Then Governor of Georgia, former President Jimmy Carter filed a report in 1973 that stated he saw a strange white light in the sky back in 1969.

10. Nevada, 1952: Two high-ranking military officials claimed to have seen three UFOs in the sky above the Carson Desert. They reported the speeds at being faster than any known military aircraft.

11. New Mexico, 1964: A police officer named Lonnie Zamora reported seeing blue and orange flames coming off of a large, doughnut-shaped machine manned by two acid-white creatures. He documented his sighting over police radio, and it gained widespread attention.

12. Australia, 1966: Two-hundred students and teachers reported seeing a large aircraft land in a grassy field and take off over houses in Westall, Australia.

13. Nova Scotia, Canada, 1967: A UFO crashed into Shag Harbor in Nova Scotia in 1967. The Canadian Department of National Defense conducted an investigation, but found nothing. The case remains unsolved.

14. Texas, 1967: Several car engines supposedly shut down after an egg-shaped object reportedly flew over them. The engines started up again once the object left, allegedly.

15. New Mexico, 1949: The astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh who is most famous for his discovery of Pluto in 1930, reported to have seen eight rectangular lights in the sky above Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1949. His popularity added to the credibility of the claim.

16. England, 1980: Allegedly, a UFO was sighted landing in the Rendlesham Forest in England in 1980. However, the ministry of defense saw no reason to investigate the incident.

17. New Hampshire, 1961: The Hill couple in New Hampshire reported to have been abducted by aliens. They recounted their story in vivid detail, saying that there was a 3-D star map in which the aliens used to tell of their location.

18. Washington D.C., 1952: Several UFOs were spotted in the sky above the U.S. capital, but the Air Force maintained that a temperature change resulted in the false return of radar signals.

19. Washington, 1947: Businessman Kenneth Arnold was reported to have seen saucer-like objects flying in a chain in Washington. He coined the term “flying saucers” later that year.

20. Roswell, 1947: This remains to be the most famous UFO event in U.S. history. UFO enthusiasts claim they saw the U.S. military capture alien aircraft. The military asserted that it was simply a surveillance device.

Nieuwe leefbare planeet bevindt zich voor onze neus

© afp.

Astronomen hebben een nieuwe planeet ontdekt waarop leven mogelijk is. Bovendien bevindt die planeet zich op 'overzichtelijke' afstand van de Aarde. "Er hoeven geen duizend jaren voorbij te gaan om te horen 'Hoe gaat het ginder?' en nog eens duizend jaren om te horen 'Prima, en ginds?'", aldus professor Steven Vogt aan news.com.au.    

    "De planeet ligt niet in onze achtertuin maar vlak voor onze neus", stelt Vogt. Daarmee bedoelt de wetenschapper: op 22 lichtjaren van de Aarde. Het gaat om de fameuze planeet Gliese 581g die de professor inmiddels herdoopte naar de naam van zijn vrouw: 'Zarmina's World'. De nieuwste studie van Vogts team verschijnt vandaag in het vaktijdschrift 'Astronomisch Naschrischten' en wil een antwoord bieden op de vele kritieken die Vogt kreeg na zijn eerste onthullingen bijna twee jaar geleden.

De planeet is twee keer zo groot als de Aarde. Wetenschappers van de University of California, Santa Cruz, en van het Carnegie Institution of Washington ontdekten haar. Ze werd bekend als 'Superaarde', omdat ze een gasrijke atmosfeer heeft die de kans op de aanwezigheid van vloeistof - en dus op leven - verhoogt. Of die vloeistof bevroren is en zich onder de bodem bevindt dan wel vrijelijk over de planeet vloeit, is nog niet duidelijk.

De temperaturen op de planeet zijn van die aard dat leven er alleszins mogelijk zou zijn. Maar hoe de planeetbodem er precies uitziet, dat kan het team van professor Vogt voorlopig ook nog niet zeggen.

Gliese 581g bevindt zich in 'Goldilocks Zone', een gebied niet ver van de Aarde dat niet te warm en niet te koud is. Net goed om leven toe te laten. Volgens Vogt zouden we, na het ontdekken van buitenaards leven op de planeet, een antwoord van onze tegenvoeters kunnen verwachten binnen de 44 jaar. "Over een paar honderd jaar zouden we beelden van een iPhone of Android-toestel kunnen ontvangen en kunnen luisteren naar hoe zij klinken en kijken hoe ze leven vanuit een ruimtetuig", beweert Vogt. "Er moet alleszins leven zijn daar."

Zoals gezegd kreeg Vogt veel kritiek voor zijn bevindingen, vooral van een Zwitsers team die bekend zijn als 'HARPS' (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet). Zij deden de studies van Vogt af als "nonsens". Professor Steven Vogt slaat nu terug met de bewering dat HARPS bewust feiten achterhield die niet in hun wetenschappelijke kraam pasten.

Nabije aarde-achtige planeet doet hoop op buitenaards leven weer oplaaien

© Flickr/CosmosUp.

Met de regelmaat van de klok worden nieuwe planeten en sterren ontdekt, maar wat astronomen van de universiteit van New South Wales recent aantroffen, was nog ongezien. Gliese 832c is een super-Aarde die amper 16 lichtjaren van ons verwijderd is - een steenworp in kosmische termen.

Volgens de nieuwssite The Verge wentelt de planeet rond een rode dwerg, een koele ster die weinig licht uitstraalt, met een massa en omvang die de helft bedraagt van die van onze zon. Gliese 832c heeft een omlooptijd van ongeveer 35 dagen en een massa vijf keer zo groot als die van de Aarde. Belangrijker is dat de planeet in de 'bewoonbare' zone van de rode dwerg cirkelt en dezelfde energie krijgt als onze Aarde van de zon.

Leven zou er in principe dus mogelijk zijn. De grote massa van Gliese 832 wijst er wel op dat de planeet een veel dichtere atmosfeer heeft dan de Aarde, wat het weer er heet en de seizoenen vluchtig maakt. De astronomen zijn er niet uit of de planeet nu een super-Aarde of eerder een super-Venus is.

Top-3
"Als de atmosfeer op de planeet gelijkaardig is aan die van de Aarde, is het misschien mogelijk dat er leven kan zijn", zegt professor Chris Tinney van de universiteit van South Wales aan Sci-News.com. "Maar de seizoenswissels zouden er extreem zijn."

Toch is Gliese 832c een van de meest Aarde-achtige planeten ooit ontdekt. "Wat massa en relatie met de ster betreft, zit de planeet in de top-3", schrijft Abel Mendez Torres van Planetary Habitability Lab's Blog. "Bovendien bevindt deze planeet zich van die drie het dichtstbij."

Could Extraterrestrial Life Be Cute? | ET.Updates - The Truth Is Written In Our Genes

The new film “Earth to Echo” — which follows a group of kids on a fictional journey to help save a small alien robot — might have a bit of extraterrestrial truth at its core, one alien-hunting astronomer says.

As it turns out, writer Henry Gayden’s (“Zombie Roadkill,” the upcoming “Children of the Lamp”) depiction of a small, owl-like alien robot might be a more likely candidate for first contact than most people would expect, said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the seti Institute in Mountain View, California. Given the dynamics of interstellar travel, robots make sense, he said.

“Just about the time that you develop enough science or tech to fly to other planets and other stars… you begin to develop faster computers,” Shostak told Space.com. “If you believe the people working on artificial intelligence — they think we will have thinking machines by midcentury. That is just decades away.”

UFO sighting over Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on 23rd June 2014

Witness said:
Photo taken by Mike E. Asked me to see if I could get any details from the original file. I did not witness the sighting. Photo was taken while setting camera for night photography. Mike did not see the objects at that time, only when the picture was reviewed the next day. I enhanced a copy using astrophotography techniques to try and identify. Highly unusual characteristics – what appears to be a vapor or atmospheric distortion. 6th smaller light is a blown pixel – disregard. Please send this copy to a photo analyst. – AM/PM reversed in camera setup.

The Universal Symbol of the Ancients Revealed!

(Before It's News)

It might have aided a cover-up or possible ignorance and close-mindedness in the archaeology world that concepts of ancient astronauts and ancient aliens were applied to all the inconsistencies we see. We were told we did not travel the world in ancient times, and yet there are symbols and architecture and shared commonalities that do not jive with evolution of Homo Sapiens and their time line around the world, having exited Africa around 80,000 years ago.

But, we cannot deny that there was a common influence around the world - the first civilization is my theory, or the "Originators." They did the hard evolutionary jump of basic knowledge for hundreds of thousands of years before us. We "Natives" came upon it and played with it, adopted it, tried to emulate it without understanding the knowledge that went into it (future Friday Vlog coming up on how we lost ancient knowledge). 

Like Planet of the Apes, I do believe we managed to try to adopt a prior branch of humanities knowledge. Our encounters with these Originators had us tattooing our skin, elongating our baby's heads and giving flesh sacrifices to these carnivorous cannibals. Whole religions were based on our love/hate relationship with these god people who were so advanced. All of our origins show our influences by the culture that was FIRST.

The symbol most universally utilized is the spiral. Let's have a look at its influence on cultures around the world, many of them isolated by others before long-distance sea voyaging (for Homo Sapiens, that is).

Mysterious Lights In The Sky Spotted Above OC, Camp Pendleton

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/06/19/mysterious-lights-in-the-sky-spotted-above-oc-camp-pendleton/

The woman who is reading from a teleprompter says Camp Pendleton won’t confirm or deny:  “… however it won’t say if that was the source of the lights.”

The Male Newscaster pokes fun of the incident when he imitates Rod Serling:  “we’re living in another Dimension…”

The blond newscaster finishes the piece:  “It’s a flying car… problem solved everybody!”

Arizona witness frightened as rectangle UFO moves over home

“I was so scared because it was flying so low and was unfamiliar. It just was on a flight path over my house coming from Snowflake, AZ, across, and on the way to Show Low. I started shaking and really didn’t know what to do. I was afraid it would land and I was home alone at the time.”

“The strange thing was that the back of the UFO also had the same huge white, pulsating lights on the back side of it as it was flying away. Well I am very used to seeing planes of all types out here in the mountains. An airport is 15 miles from here and it wasn’t an airplane. It wasn’t a passenger anything. I am 68 years old and have seen a lot of flying machines and pictures and videos of drones, but this was one of those.”

http://www.openminds.tv/arizona-witness-frightened-rectangle-ufo-moves-home/28328

I took the day off yesterday and played a round of golf with my buds, Tom and Greg.  We stank up the course and I was low man with a horrible 97.   Why do I torture myself in this way?!?  On the way home from flog—that’s golf spelled backward—I called my friend and co-producer of the Watchers series, Richard Shaw.  He gave me the latest update on Watchers 8: Cloak of Secrecy.  It’s being rendered and most likely it will go into production by Monday, which means we’ll start shipping most likely by the end of the month!

Our conversation switched to another topic, and Rick told me about a telephone call he had with an old friend.  The man laughed out loud when Rick told him about Watchers 8, and some of the hard, scientific evidence we show in the film, in regard to the burgeoning UFO phenomena.  Rick’s friend is a Christian.  In other words if you sat him down and asked if he believed in the Virgin birth of the Messiah, Jesus, he would most likely without hesitation say, yes!  If then you asked him about Jesus walking on water, he would promptly admit, yes he did!  If then asked about Moses staff turning into a serpent, why sure it did, he would reply! 

In other words, the three examples I gave above, all deal with the supernatural.  It is real, as Christians we believe in it, yet there is a disconnect when it comes to the supernatural manifesting in our day.  A perfect example is the first clip I posted above.  The newscasters, who by the way, are reading from TelePrompTers, make light of their reporting, which has become standard fare in the American media.  They go out of their way to poke fun at the UFO phenomena and the guy mimicking Rod Serling, is par for the course…. Sorry about that!

In the second story, we have a witness who is scared.  Bully for him or her!  They are frightened by the phenomena as they have no paradigm in which to embrace what they are looking at.  This, in part, is due to the lack of real reporting about the UFO phenomena by a media who won’t treat the subject seriously, as is evidenced by the guy mimicking Rod Serling!

The Camp Pendleton sighting covered by the Newscasters is treated tongue-in-cheek, so as not to alarm anyone.  Can you imagine what might happen if they took a more serious tone?

The second story, is from OPEN MINDS, which reports on UFOs.  Which of the two stories is worthy of our consideration?  Which one would you use to either confirm or debunk the UFO phenomena?

Back to Rick’s friend on the phone.  The man, who claims to be a Christian and believes in the supernatural, at least on paper, has cognitive dissonance when it comes to the supernatural in the present day.  Like the newscasters he laughs and pokes fun at what he doesn’t understand, what he hasn’t taken the time to investigate, but is so sure it’s all baloney.

The title of one of my presentations at the Prophecy in the News conference in Orlando was: Something is Coming!

I will be giving the same talk in two weeks at the War of Art conference in West Hills, which is north and inland of Los Angeles and is essentially in my back yard. (see link below)

Folks, as the former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer declares,  the UFO phenomena is as real as the airplanes flying over head.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET6v1HbQTnc

At some point, and I believe it may be soon with all that is happening on the planet right now, they will reveal themselves.  They will come bearing gifts, new technologies that will seem, at first, to be beneficial to mankind.
Yashua/Jesus warns us: Men will faint from fear from what is coming on the earth.  The he admonishes us: Even the elect would be deceived if that were possible.  

I’m calling our attention to this because the UFO phenomena is not going away.

The church needs to understand that we do live in a supernatural world and the UFO phenomena is, in my opinion, what I have come to call, The Coming Great Deception!

When we examine Jesus words—men fainting from fear from what is coming on the earth—and recall what the witness stated in the Open Minds article: I was so scared,  it becomes clear, at least in my mind, of what the future may hold.

In closing todays post.  Something is coming!  The UFO phenomena will, at some point, be the subject of every persons conversation on earth, once contact is made.  How will we react?  Will we fall for what I believe will be the party line, that these visitors are our benevolent space brothers?  Will we embrace the marvelous new technology, or will you and I step back and recall the prophecies of Jesus who warned us of what would come.  Rick’s friend most likely will be hiding under his bed, along with the mimicking newscaster!
