This is What Happens to Spacecraft When They Re-Enter the Earth’s Atmosphere

When one of the Russian Progress resupply ships undocks from the International Space Station, timing is everything. The Progress needs to fire its engines at just the right time to instigate the deorbit burn in order for the ship to enter the atmosphere at just the right place, so that its destructive re-entry occurs over the Pacific Ocean. That way, any potential surviving bits and pieces that might reach Earth will hit far away from any land masses – which are home to people, buildings, and other things we don’t want to get bonked.

Last week, the timing for the Progress MS-15 cargo ship was just right so that the astronauts/cosmonauts on board the ISS could see the ship as it broke apart and burned up in Earth’s atmosphere.  JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi shared the view on social media.

“Farewell, Progress 76P MS-15! #Russian cargo spacecraft undocked from #ISS, and successfully burned up,” Noguchi tweeted, sharing a photo of the Progress’ fiery demise.  

Uncrewed Progress cargo ships have been flying since 1978, supporting previous Soviet-era space stations such as Salyut 6, Salyut 7 and Mir. They have been bringing supplies to the ISS since the very beginning of operations.  

But now, there are several different robotic, automated resupply ships for the space station: the European Space Agency’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), JAXA’s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) HTV resupply ship, Northrop Grumman’s (formerly Orbital ATK) Cygnus cargo ship, and SpaceX’s Cargo Dragon.

These ships bring supplies such as food, water, replacement/spare parts, and experiments to the crew, as well as propellants and oxygen. After everything is unloaded, the ships like Progress become a trash can – a place to stow garbage and other unneeded items. The ships stay docked to the ISS for about 6 months, and after being loaded with trash and waste, the hatch to the vehicle is closed and the Progress undocks from the station. Then the procedures for reentry begin.

Progress is designed to burn up in the atmosphere, but not everything is completely combustible. In a press release, Roscosmos said the non-combustible components of the craft land and sink into a “non-navigable region of the South Pacific. Non-combustible structure elements will drop in the calculated area of the non-navigable region of the Pacific Ocean. The estimated fragments drop area is approximately 1,680 km east of Wellington (New Zealand). Roscosmos has completed all the necessary procedures to flag this area as temporarily dangerous for sea navigation and aircraft flights.”

But besides the cargo ships returning from the ISS, other man-made objects regularly meet their demise by streaking through and burning up in Earth’s atmosphere. Things like old, inactive satellites, rocket stages and other discarded hardware, as well as smaller pieces of space debris — such as fragments of vehicles that exploded or collided, and even small pieces of paint that have come off of space vehicles.

All these items – both big and small – are tracked by radar by the Space Surveillance Network (SSN), which oversees radar and optical sensors at various sites around the world. There is the Joint Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC) at Vandenberg Air Force Base, part of U.S. Strategic Command and ESA’s Space Debris team. They detect, track and identify all objects in Earth orbit, as well as monitoring the International Space Station (ISS) and other NASA satellites for collisions.

Interestingly, on average, about one satellite crashes back to Earth every week. Most are uncontrolled entries, and it’s kind of a crap shoot as to where any pieces surviving pieces might fall. But these fiery reentries are rarely seen, mostly because Earth is a big place, mainly covered by water, and much of what falls ends up in the oceans. Another thing is, most of us aren’t looking up into the night sky all that often.

But these reentries do sometimes get seen – sometimes by video surveillance cameras or dashcams. If the satellite or old rocket piece is big enough, pieces can be seen shedding as the reentering vehicle descends in a superheated shroud of incandescent plasma. The ablation process starts around a height of 100 km and is usually complete by the time the object has descended to about 20 km. (Here’s additional info on space debris).

Of course, “naturally occurring” objects fall through our atmosphere too, space rocks that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Many times, if you see something steak across the night sky, it is hard to tell the difference between a meteor and a piece of disintegrating space debris.

Have you seen something big break apart and fall through the sky? Our own David Dickinson often reports on reentering space objects and possible sightings on his Twitter account, as well as astronomer Jonathan McDowell, who tracks and reports on reentering objects on Twitter.

Of course, for the spacecraft we DON’T want to have break up in the atmosphere — such as crewed spacecraft — there are heat shields to protect them. But that’s another story for another day.

Bright Object With Nearby Orb, Coventry, England 2-1-2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 1, 2021
Location of sighting: Coventry, England

This UFO is very shiny and bright, even during the day. Its as if it were made of pure light. That orb shooting past it was absolute proof that these two objects are UFOs. What we are looking at its an orb maker, a mothership of sorts. They create hundreds of orbs, usually one ever three seconds. This one is not...its probably noticed that its being watched and recorded. So its waiting and will move off to a new location to create cloud orbs. Cloud orbs are alien drones that are fully autonomous. They are controlled by AI. The appear white when 50 meters or further away, but when they are just 2-3 meters away they are almost glass-like but with a surface like mother of pearl, but the orbs surface rotates at about 1 rotation every 10 seconds. I saw one once 2 meters in front of me on the roof of my 8th floor apartment building, but it scared easily and shot 50 meters in 2 seconds when I reached for my camera, which was on, but it was facing straight up at the sky. I got a great shot of a white spot in the distance. LOL, little buggers.

At first I thought this could be Chinese lanterns, but the lights are not orange or red, but white. They don't disappear, but fade and then come back. They are too bright to be drones and too large. 

 

The brightness of the UFOs is incredible. The UFOs are almost evenly spaced and seem to hold position. Arizona is a UFO hotspot and this...is absolutely why. Aliens love Arizona. But the city of Tempe, is on the edge of Phoenix...so this is obviously the same UFOs that was seen back in 1997, also I just reported a similar sighting in the same area, but from Feb 9, 2021, and will place the video below. Undeniable proof there is a UFO base below the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

This triangle craft was seen over Virginia six months ago, but reported today. The eyewitness says he has a drone, but dones don't work because the airport is using an anti drone system to stop drones from flying in the area, I'm guessing it signal jamming. I personally have never heard of that, but sound smart. So...that rules out drones. But when I took a screenshot and added light, I noticed a glimmering center to it. That may be the cockpit for an alien pilot. Not the typical TR3B craft the USAF has, but something unique. This is 100% proof aliens exist.

I noticed some of the comments below the video say that they are military flares, but they don't seem to fall or move. Often UFOs will be seen in one location only and not move if they are about to leap out of the area with a massive jump at light speed. UFOs near military bases are not as uncommon as you might think. Aliens actually want to remind the military of their superior alien technology in order to keep humans in check. For instance, back in 1980 in Redlesham Forest many soldiers watched and recorded a glowing UFO skirting the edge of the base. Aliens like to be seen, especially to the military. And this sighting in Niguel, California is near several US military bases. Thats one instance, of dozens I can name. I think these are UFOs, telling the US military bluntly, "don't even think about messing up, or else." A warning to keep the weapons in check and unused in order to prevent future conflicts and wars.

The dinosaurs may have been wiped out by a comet fragment, not an asteroid

Astronomers have proposed a novel theory that explains the demise of the dinosaurs.

 by Tibi Puiu

Around 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid struck our planet off the coast of Mexico. The devastating impact, whose force was equivalent to 10 billion Hiroshima A-bombs, unleashed huge tsunamis hundreds of feet tall, global wildfires, and sent molten rock hurtling all the way to the moon. About 75% of all life on Earth was killed almost instantly, including all non-avian dinosaurs. But according to a controversial Harvard astronomer, the culprit wasn’t an asteroid, but rather a comet fragment from the outer reaches of the solar system.

Since geophysicists first identified the huge impact crater in Chicxulub, Mexico, the site has been the subject of important research probing into the nature of the impactor in order to reconstruct the devastating timeline of the mass extinction that would follow.

We now know, for instance, that the impactor must have been very large, measuring between 10 and 80 kilometers in diameter, judging from the staggering 180-kilometer-wide crater, most of which is submerged in the Pacific Ocean. The impact then shrouded the planet into a decades-long winter, which decimated the suitable environments for dinosaurs.

This leading theory is that this impact arrived from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but Harvard’s Professor Avi Loeb and astrophysics graduate student Amir Siraj have published a new study proposing an alternative source.

Loeb is no stranger to controversial theories. Previously, he claimed that the first-ever interstellar object Oumuamua may actually be an alien spaceship. He’s actually being a lot more conservative with his most recent paper published Monday in the journal Scientific Reports.

Chinese rover finds weird shard-shaped rock on the far side of the moon

It may have been formed by a meteor impact.

 by Tibi Puiu

Credit: China National Space Administration.

China’s Yutu-2 rover just turned two years old and it received a fitting birthday gift. During one of its forays on the far side of the moon, the rover came across an elongated shard that has surprised scientists.

Yutu-2 is the first man-made craft that has explored the moon’s far side. On February 6, the rover resumed operations after Chinese mission control engineers forced it into hibernation in order to preserve energy during the cold lunar nights.

Thanks to Yutu-2, we now know what the moon looks like below the surface after the rover beamed back radar images it had collected. It also sent back very valuable photos and videos of the moon’s far side that will keep scientists busy for years.

Since it arrived at the moon’s far side, Yutu-2 has also come across a number of peculiar objects. In 2019, not long after touchdown, the rover found a “gel-like” substance that turned out to be breccia (broken fragments of minerals cemented together) formed by impact melts.

Credit: China National Space Administration.

Now, Chinese scientists have reported what they describe as a ‘milestone’: an elongated shard sticking out of the lunar surface. The vast majority of lunar rocks are rounded, so the pointy rock immediately drew scientists’ attention.

Due to its shard-like shape and pronounced ridge near the rock’s edge, scientists believe that it must be geologically young since it didn’t have enough time to get rounded by weathering.

As for its formation, the most likely explanation is that it is impact ejecta from a nearby crater. Planned investigations using the rover’s visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer may reveal more insights surrounding this strange rock’s nature.

'A fortunate accident': Scientists stumble across sea creatures living in -2°C water on the Southern Ocean seabed underneath Antarctica

By Joe Pinkstone For Mailonline

• British Antarctic Survey researchers drilled a borehole through 900m of ice

• They then ventured further through the ocean water and down to the sea floor 

• Here they ricocheted off a large boulder and a camera caught sight of the rock

• Revealed sponges and unidentified stalked animals on the surface, a world first 

Animals have been found living on the sea floor underneath Antarctica in what was previously thought to be an uninhabited wasteland. 

Two types of filter-feeding sea sponges were spotted attached to a boulder at the bottom of the ocean by scientists from the British Antarctic Survey.

The explorers dropped a camera down a borehole which went through the 3,000ft (900m) of solid ice before plunging into the frigid Antarctic ocean underneath. 

In the pitch black of the unexplored marine frontier the researchers found evidence of life in the -2.2°C water, the first stationary animals ever seen in this habitat. 

These currently unidentified species are more than 200 miles from the nearest food source but appear to be thriving despite the arduous existence.

Sponges and unidentified stalked animals were spotted on a boulder at the bottom of the ocean by scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (pictured)

This part of the world is one of the last truly unexplored regions of the world as floating ice shelves have made it impossible to study the ocean beneath. 

More than 1.5 million square km — an area bigger than the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy combined — is covered by this fortress of ice. 

As a result only an area the size of a tennis court has been explored at all, thanks to eight boreholes drilled through the ice. 

The exploration and study that has been done in this area has been primitive by modern standards as accessibility is so difficult due to the extreme weather. 

'This discovery is one of those fortunate accidents that pushes ideas in a different direction and shows us that Antarctic marine life is incredibly special and amazingly adapted to a frozen world,' says biogeographer and lead author of the study Dr Huw Griffiths.

Researchers drilled the hole to take sediment samples from the sea floor when they ricocheted off the boulder (pictured), with the spinning camera capturing the lifeforms

The borehole was drilled 160 miles (260km) from the open sea, further confounding researchers

The borehole was drilled 160 miles (260km) from the open sea, further confounding researchers. 

Current theories clearly state that life becomes increasingly unlikely the further underwater and away from open water a location is. 

Previous studies have found some mobile animals, such as fish and krill, in these areas but never before has an organism which stays still and filters the water around it for food ever been found. 

Aptly, the study has been titled 'Breaking All the Rules' by its authors, and published today in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.

Researchers drilled the hole to take sediment samples from the sea floor when they ricocheted off the boulder, with the spinning camera capturing the lifeforms. 

'To answer our questions we will have to find a way of getting up close with these animals and their environment - and that's under 900 m (3,000 ft) of ice, 260 km (160 miles) away from the ships where our labs are,' adds Dr Griffiths. 

'This means that as polar scientists we are going to have to find new and innovative ways to study them and answer all the new questions we have.

Mysterious lifeforms have been discovered in one of the most inhabitable places on our planet. Deep below the Antarctic ice shelf is very dark with subzero temperatures but some species are surprisingly thriving down there.

Located on a seafloor boulder were several species. In fact, this is the first time ever that stationary creatures attached to one specific location have been found underneath the ice of Antarctica.

Huw Griffiths, who is a biogeographer at the British Antarctic Survey and an author of the study, explained this further, “This discovery is one of those fortunate accidents that pushes ideas in a different direction and shows us that Antarctic marine life is incredibly special and amazingly adapted to a frozen world.”

Since it is so difficult to study what’s underneath Antarctica’s ice shelves, scientists are only able to make holes in the ice and lower equipment into the depths of the water. Based on evidence gathered from eight of their borehole surveys, they do know that there is some life beneath the ice, such as jellies, fish, crustaceans, and worms. But the fact that they found sponges was incredibly surprising.

Antarctica

They found the sponges underneath 890 meters of ice (2,920 feet) on the seafloor which was 1,233 meters down (4,045 feet). Located on the seafloor boulder was one sponge on a stalk while 15 others were without them. Furthermore, they discovered 22 organisms that have yet to be identified but could possibly be sponges, hydroids, ascidians, cnidaria, barnacles, or polychaetes. (Pictures can be seen here.)

Griffiths noted that there are still many unanswered questions like how they got there; how long have they been there; what do they eat; how many boulders have this type of life attached to them; are they new species and what would happen to them if the ice shelves ended up collapsing?

Since the majority of life on our planet needs sun to survive, it’s amazing to think that these creatures reside in complete darkness and are still able to live. Chemosynthesis is when organisms use the energy from reactions created by inorganic chemicals when there isn’t any sunlight around. Thermal vents found in the ocean release volcanic chemicals and heat, and bacteria uses chemosynthesis to make sugar for their food chain.

Antarctica

Organisms that live beneath glaciers chemosynthesise hydrogen and some chemosynthetic ecosystems depend on methane. Interestingly, a methane leak has been discovered in the waters of Antarctica.

With that being said, the living creatures underneath Antarctica’s ice shelves probably depend on a chemosynthetic food chain but much more research needs to be conducted in order to know for sure. Nevertheless, it’s incredibly interesting to know that several different species can survive beneath the freezing cold ice shelves of Antarctica.

Unknown lights filmed over Tempe, Arizona 12-Feb-2021

These UFOs were filmed over Tempe, Florida on 12th February 2021.

Witness report: 

On the night of 2/12/2021. I happen to look out of my kitchen window while talking to my wife when I noticed a group of strange lights in the sky. I always look into the night sky and in the general direction of what I filmed. I’ve never seen anything like this especially in that part of the sky. This video is what I recorded. The objects traveled to a certain part of the sky and stayed there pulsated and then vanished into the clear night sky. I recorded is 2 separate clips. Because I thought the event ended but more returned. At one point an airplane traveling east went in the general direction of the objects. The objects seemed unaffected by this and more returned in the sky. They had a reddish orange color. The cell phone camera didn’t pick up these colors. Not sure what these were.

Artist's impression of Exoplanet HD 106906b

Credit: ESA/Hubble, M. Kornmesser

• NASA's Hubble Telescope provides 14 years of data on the exoplanet HD106906 b.

• It exhibits strange behavior along its orbit 336 light-year away from Earth.

• Scientists think data from the exoplanet may explain what happened to the possibly hidden Planet Nine in our Solar System.

How many planets are in our Solar System? You may think there's an obvious answer you learned in kindergarten, but the number has fluctuated between 8 and 9, depending on whether you accept Pluto as being large enough for a planet. But there's another mysterious planet that may be lurking at the edge of the Solar System – the so-called "Planet Nine". All we know about it is through inference, arrived at by judging the effects this potential planet may be having on its surroundings. Now, for the first time, scientists measured the motion of a massive exoplanet, in a different solar system, that may be exhibiting behavior similar to that of the hypothesized Planet Nine.

The exoplanet HD106906 b is 336 light-year away from Earth. With the mass of as much as 11 Jupiters, it orbits a double star system. Scientists first discovered it in 2013 but have now been able to get much better information about its orbit thanks to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. In fact, Hubble has collected 14 years worth of precise data about the exoplanet, allowing for a wealth of new insight.

The exoplanet is located very far from its host stars, 730 times as far as it is from the Earth to the Sun. While its slow 15,000-year-long orbit would ordinarily not allow for very conclusive observation in just 14 years, the Hubble team found that its orbit is extreme, both very inclined and elongated, staying on the outside of a debris disc surrounding the twin stars.

Meiji Nguyen of the University of California, Berkeley, who led the study, commented on how unusual the exoplanet's orbit is:

"To highlight why this is weird, we can just look at our own Solar System and see that all of the planets lie roughly in the same plane," shared Nguyen. "It would be bizarre if, say, Jupiter just happened to be inclined 30 degrees relative to the plane that every other planet orbits in. This raises all sorts of questions about how HD 106906 b ended up so far out on such an inclined orbit."

The Strange Exoplanet That Resembles the Long-Sought “Planet Nine”

How did this planet develop such an orbit? The scientists think it likely formed much closer to the host stars, but the drag from the system's gas disc might have affected its orbit. This could have pushed it closer to the twin stars, whose gravitational force then threw it out into an eccentric orbit, nearly all the way into interstellar space. As the Hubble team's press release explains, a passing star then possibly corrected the exoplanet's orbit and stopped it from leaving the home system altogether.

This explanation is similar to what scientists predict could have pushed the potential Planet Nine to the edges of our Solar System, past the Kuiper belt. Jupiter might have affected its orbit, kicking it out from the inner Solar System. Planet Nine could have kept going past Pluto but a passing star possibly stopped it by altering its orbit.

Paul Kalas of the University of California, Berkeley, a member of the Hubble team, commented that analyzing what happened to exoplanet HD106906 b is like investigating our own past.

"It's as if we have a time machine for our own Solar System going back 4.6 billion years to see what may have happened when our young Solar System was dynamically active and everything was being jostled around and rearranged," elaborated Kalas.

This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows one possible orbit (via the dashed ellipse) of the exoplanet HD 106906 b.

Of course, none of this means we actually found Planet Nine, if it even exists. Evidence for its corporeality includes the strange behavior of small space bodies past Neptune, whose inexplicable orbits might be the result of being affected by the gravitational pull of an unseen planet.

Further investigations into the formation and debris system of the exoplanet HD106906 b will be carried out by the James Webb Space Telescope, slated to launch in October 2021. It promises to shed more like on the exoplanet's unusual system and, by extension, on our own mystery Planet Nine.

Witnessed By More Than 20 People: The 1996 Fox Lake UFO Incident in Yukon, Canada

By Arjun Walia

The topic of UFOs has gained a tremendous amount of credibility, especially within the past few years alone. We’ve written in depth about the subject for ten years now, and if you’re interested in skimming through some of our articles on the subject, you can find all of them, in order, here

There are no shortage of stories from around the world when it comes to UFO sightings, one great example of strange objects that are commonly seen in the sky comes from the Yukon, a province in Canada situated on the Northwest side of the country. It’s a remote area, nowhere near  any major cities or populated areas. This reported sighting happened on December 11th, 1996 near a place called Fox Lake. It’s extremely cold in this part of the country at this time of year – it’s not far from Alaska – and again, it is hundreds of miles from any major city or heavily populated public area.

According to more than 20 witnesses, a very large aerial object with very bright lights hovered near the lake (Fox Lake) between 8pm and 9pm.

The picture you see as the cover for this article was done by Canadian engineer Martin Jasek, who wrote a detailed account of the event after he investigated it for himself.

“Two of the witnesses were cousins, driving in separate vehicles. Each saw it over the lake, slammed on their brakes, and got out of their vehicles. They watched the huge object as it slowly drifted towards one of them and was soon almost directly overhead.  It then moved slowly across the highway and over a hill to the east, whereupon it was lost to view.” (1)

“While the two cousins were observing this object, a married couple with their baby were a bit farther to the south along the same highway, driving toward them. They too saw the object. By the time they caught up with the cousins and pulled over, the object had moved off. The married couple continued driving until they arrived at a lodge farther ahead. There, they told the owner abougt what they had seen. He promptly recounted a sighting from an earlier witness, who had gotten very close to this object. (1)

“At the nearby village of Pelly Crossing, other people described the same object. In one case it seemed to respond to a man’s flashlight by accelerating towards him. When he turned off his flashlight, the object stopped. By then it had gotten quite close to him, filling much of the sky. It also emitted several beams of light, including one that swooped along the ground. They ran ran across a clearing, perhaps to get to a better view. When he turned to look for the object, it was gone.” (1)

Just imagine seeing something like this. How remarkable would that be? I myself have had a number of fairly remarkable UFO encounters, even with a few members here at Colletive-Evolution. As a result of all of the evidence supporting the phenomena, along with my own experiences, I have been fascinated with this subject for a very long time.

This case has been investigated by many, and most of the interviews with the witnesses are available online. Here is a video that has a few of them describing their experience in person, but again, more are available online.

This is one out of many extraordinary sightings that has occurred around the world, and judging by ancient artwork and history, it seems to have been happening for a very long time. One example would be  the aboriginal community in Canada. Their stories have not been passed down through documentation, but through an oral storytelling tradition. These stories often speak of spiritual beings from another world.

“My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.”

– Richard Wagamese, Ojibway Author (source)

5000 year old cave art from Australia depicts strange beings that resemble what many perceive to represent the modern day ‘Gray Alien.’ These beings were known as Wandjina, cloud spirits and sky beings. You can read more about that here.  It’s all very interesting to think about.

If you put all of these teachings and stories from multiple cultures around the world together with the evidence that is available today, things start to seem quite strange – and very real.

This particular case included various drawings and detailed interviews with many of the people who witnessed the object.
