NASA zal Marsrobot Perseverance op 17 juli lanceren - HLN.be
WETENSCHAP De NASA zal op 17 juli zijn nieuwe Marsrobot Perseverance lanceren, zo heeft het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau in de nacht van woensdag op donderdag bekendgemaakt.
De Marsverkenner moet die dag om 15.15 uur met een Atlas-V draagraket van op Cape Canaveral in Florida vertrekken. Indien het die dag niet lukt, moet de zowat een ton wegende robotjeep ter grootte van een kleine wagen drie weken wachten op een nieuwe poging om uiteindelijk in februari 2021 op de rode planeet te kunnen landen.
De Perseverance moet zoeken naar sporen van vroeger microbiologisch leven. Bovendien moet de robot het klimaat en de geologie van onze buurplaneet onderzoeken, door het nemen van stalen van stenen en stof. De missie moet tevens toelaten nieuwe technologie voor toekomstige onbemande en bemande missies naar Mars te testen.

Bizarre verstekeling aan boord Space X ruimteschip
Bizarre verstekeling aan boord Space X ruimteschip
Er zijn natuurlijk voorbeelden bekend van dieren die de ruimte in worden geschoten om bepaalde dingen te testen.
Maar, dit keer waren het astronauten die de ruimte in werden geschoten en niemand hield rekening met een verstekeling aan boord.
Vandaag temidden van alle corona en racisme ellende even iets van een geheel andere aard. Een vreemd verhaal dat zich afspeelt in de ruimte, of misschien juist niet.
Er gaat op dit moment een korte videoclip viraal waarin de deze week gelanceerde Crew Dragon van Space X naar ISS ruimtestation is te zien. Het was een heuglijk moment, want sinds het einde van de Space Shuttle in 2011 was dit de eerste keer dat er weer een Amerikaanse vlucht naar het ISS werd ondernomen. Bovendien was dit ook nog eens via het commerciële bedrijf Space X van Elon Musk, dus dubbele vreugde.
We hebben ondertussen diverse artikelen gepubliceerd over het fenomeen Elon Musk. De held, de stripfiguur die alles kan en de meest onvoorstelbare capriolen uithaalt in de ruimte zoals het lanceren van een Tesla auto. Niet zo vreemd natuurlijk dat er snel stemmen opgingen die zeiden dat Elon Musk niet een bepaald iemand is, maar meer een instituut, waarbij het karakter Musk wordt vertolkt door diverse acteurs.
De videoclip die nu is opgedoken kon bovenstaand verhaal wel eens bevestigen volgens sommigen, want in die clip is duidelijk een muis waar te nemen. Niet een muis die zich in het ruimteschip bevindt, maar aan de buitenkant in de buurt van één van de (bloedhete) motoren.
Als dit inderdaad een muis is, dan is ook gelijk aangetoond dat de complete lancering van de Crew Dragon totale nep is en valt deze vlucht in dezelfde categorie als de nepmaandlandingen.
Hier volgt de bewuste clip: (Mocht de video niet zichtbaar zijn, dan heeft dat te maken met censuur en raden wij je aan om even een andere browser te proberen zoals Opera of Brave). Het artikel gaat na de video verder.
De grote vraag is nu: is dit daadwerkelijk een muis of is het iets anders en is hier sprake van een optische illusie. Volgens een Engelse krant is het internet fifty fifty verdeeld, en dat is bij ons ook het geval.
De helft met de beste ogen en het beste beeldscherm is van mening dat hier absoluut sprake is van een muis met 4 zichtbare poten, een staart en herkenbare motoriek. En dat we voor de zoveelste keer weer volledig worden genept. De ander helft is wat voorzichtiger en wil daarom ook graag een ander geluid laten horen.
Dat andere geluid komt in de vorm van de volgende video, waarin iemand uitlegt dat dit een volkomen normaal verschijnsel is wat zich ook heeft voorgedaan bij eerdere Space X vluchten.
Wij zullen dan ook niet proberen de lezers verder te beïnvloeden, maar laten het aan eenieder om voor zichzelf te bepalen of hier al dan niet sprake is van een muis. Waar in de versie met een echte muis dan natuurlijk automatisch ook bewezen is dat de hele vlucht nep is. Of, de andere mogelijkheid, dat het een optisch verschijnsel is, waardoor de vlucht nog steeds nep zou kunnen zijn, maar dat toch iets minder aannemelijk maakt.
SpaceX: Viral clip of a 'mouse' on SpaceX's Falcon 9 splits the internet - 'It IS a mouse'
SpaceX: Viral clip of a 'mouse' on SpaceX's Falcon 9 splits the internet - 'It IS a mouse'
SPACEX fans are convinced an unexpected guest hitched a ride on Saturday's launch of the Crew Dragon, with many claiming a mouse could be seen in NASA and SpaceX's live streams.
Millions of people watched SpaceXand NASAlaunch astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, May 30. Safely strapped aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon, the astronauts were only meant to carry themselves, cargo and a plush dragon toy to the ISS. But viral video clips shared to social media appear to show an unexpected stowaway on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, with many claiming a mouse could be seen during the historic launch.
One Twitter user said: "The amount of clueless people in this thread is concerning.
"That's a bead of water that's condensed on the foil, you can see it drip off onto the rocket end, and as it's so hit it fizzles and makes it 'run off to the side'.
"It's certainly not a mouse or a rat."
A second person said: "Its evaporation and water vapour trapped on the cold side of the rocket sliding down and into the crevices of the rocket hood.
"You can find 'mouse on rocket' videos from years ago."

Jordan Maxwell: Project Blue Beam Warning Update 2020
Jordan Maxwell continues as a preeminent researcher and independent scholar in the field of occult/religious philosophy. His interest in these subjects began as far back as 1959. He served for three and a half years as the Religion Editor of Truth Seeker Magazine, America’s oldest Freethought Journal (since 1873). His work exploring the hidden foundations of Western religions and secret societies creates enthusiastic responses from audiences around the world.
He has conducted dozens of intensive seminars, hosted his own radio talk shows, guested on more than 600 radio shows, and written, produced and appeared in numerous television shows and documentaries (including three 2-hour specials for the CBS TV network, as well as the internationally acclaimed 5-part Ancient Mystery Series – all devoted to understanding ancient religions and their pervasive influence on world affairs today).
His work on the subject of secret societies, both ancient and modern, and their symbols, has fascinated audiences around the world for decades. Considering the rapidly moving events of today, and the very real part that hidden religious agendas play in our modern war-torn world, he feels these controversial subjects are not only interesting to explore, but too important to ignore! His extraordinary presentations includes documents and photographs seldom seen elsewhere.
The Great Pyramid The Evidence for the 4500 Year Old Date Is Incorrect
The Great Pyramid The Evidence for the 4500 Year Old Date Is Incorrect
COAST TO COAST AM -
Egyptian pyramid researcher Scott Creighton spoke about his work on what he calls the ‘Great Pyramid Hoax,’ which points to the perpetration of fraud concerning its construction date and the history of Ancient Egypt. Quarry marks within the Great Pyramid’s hidden chambers discovered in 1837 by Colonel Howard Vyse supposedly refer to the 4th Dynasty king Khufu.
“I am convinced… that these [quarry] marks are, indeed, fake,” Creighton argued, noting how he hopes the evidence he has uncovered will nudge mainstream Egyptology to take another look.
This is an actual leg found on Mars by Youtube researcher ArtAlien. He found a leg that has been chewed up. It has huge round bites taken out of it. This looks like the person was viscously attacked by some kind of carnivore animal. Its easy to make out the hip bone, upper and lower leg bones with flesh still covering in places, not to mention that the heal and toes are clearly visible.
Awesome discovery and I wonder where the rest of the body went too? There were some fearsome creatures on Mars long ago.
Guys I discovered this UFO back in 2013 and NASA used my website to edit it out by 2015. Now I have found that in the US National Archives...they have accidentally saved the original Apollo 7 photo with the UFO in it! This is 100% proof that NASA used my discoveries and used photo editing software to edit out the UFO and then add a lot of contrast to the original photo to cover up most the detail. Then to top it off, they no longer have the largest 5mb size to download, but instead have only a tiny thumbnail of about 200kb in size. Its reduced size and quality has destroyed its usefulness.
NASA has to be stopped. This kind of coverup is very corrupt and deceitful to not only the American public, but the world. The world is angry that China gov began deleting websites and info about coronavirus, but when NASA gets caught doing the same thing on a different subject...will anyone sound the alarm? Scott C.

Fireflies Seen During Starlink Satellite Release! Same As What John Glenn Saw In Orbit, May 24, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Fireflies Seen During Starlink Satellite Release! Same As What John Glenn Saw In Orbit, May 24, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 24, 2020 Location of sighting: SpaceX in earths orbit I noticed that when SpaceX was releasing some Starlink satellites, multiple white firefly objects flew past in the upper left hand corner of the screen. I heard about such objects from an old report from Astronaut John Glenn when he was orbiting earth for the first time in history, these small white fluttering glowing objects flew around his module and even landed on it. He hit the inside of the hull and they flew off in mass and flew away. He called them fireflies. I believe this is what SpaceX recorded on May 24, 2020. I included John Glenns original raw footage of his report in person below my video. Here his words for yourself and then decide. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
The 1995 Illuminati Card Game prediction which has become today's reality
The 1995 Illuminati Card Game prediction which has become today's reality
For more than two decades the infamous Illuminati Card Game, created in 1994 by Steve Jackson and released in 1995, has been proven to be a remarkably accurate when it comes to the prediction for future events.
The card game has ominous secret societies competing with each other to control the world through sinister means, including legal, illegal, and even mystical and coincidence or not but it shows many images of disasters and events that have a global impact on humanity which actually took place after 1995.
You will be surprised to learn how many of the recent events of our society are designed to enhance the new global dictatorship.
So let's start with first and second card card: Epidemic/Quarantineand Disease control
Card 1 - Epidemic:
This is an attack to destroy any place. It does not require an action. this is Not an instant attack, other groups can interfere normally. If the attack succeeds, the target is Devastated. This attack cannot actually destroy the target.
Card 2 - Disease control:
As its action, the CDC can supply Relief to one Devastated location each turn. If the CDC makes a direct attack to destroy a place, it can use biological warfare and get a +15 to its attack. If the attack fails, the CDC is automatically destroyed by the owner of the place that it attacked.
Card 3 - Market Manipulation
The Stock Market is being manipulated. New World Order planners definitely have a global economic collapse planned.
They began to plan to first build up the economy and then tear it down in order to so panic the people that they will accept the new rules of the New World Order.
You see, before the accumulated debts of consumers and nations gets to the point of absolute collapse,
Card 4 and 5 - Emergency Powers and Upheaval
Card 4 - Emergency Powers:
This card may be played at any time and counts as the action for the groups it affects. the increased power takes effect immediately. The Power for one Government group is increased to 6. Link this card to your chosen Government group.
Note the low-ranking soldier in this picture is roughly handling a dark-skinned minority person.
Card 5 - Upheaval:
Worldwide riots continue for a third week, with no sign of abatement... Each player must choose one group from his Power Structure and discard it. These do not count as “destroyed” for anyone’s victory conditions.
We see that these cards immediately increases government control and power. As the pictures clearly indicate, these Emergency Powers are conceived to be imposed by government agencies.
And finally Card 6 - Death Mask
Whoever wears it can a slightly different world through its staring eye-holes... and when the mask is removed the different world is the true one.
This is a great example of a UFO being caught during sunset. As I have said before, if you watch 10 sunsets, you will see 2 or more UFOs. For some reason the angle of the person, combined with the angle of the setting sun both intersect the UFO and cause the cloak to fail, allowing onlookers to see the UFO from a few seconds to a few minutes. Awesome catch and amazing. Notice that the enlarged screenshot with added darkness shows the incredible detail. The UFO is not solid, but creating puffs of clouds all around it to try to hide within. The UFO was caught making a cloud cloak.

News states:
Was that what happened to Daphne Denley last month as she marvelled at a picture-perfect Gloucestershire landscape? She claims to have photographed an unidentified flying object - UFO - as she snapped the setting sun. Daphne admitted the tale sounded "bonkers". She told the Adver's sister paper the Stroud News and Journal that she had been using her camera to photograph a stunning sunset over Rodborough, near Stroud, on May 17. When she looked at the images she spotted the unexplained object.
Above is original enlarged but untouched screenshot. Below is a added darkness to bring out the detail screenshot.
Daphne Denley claimed to have snapped an unidentified flying object (UFO) as she photographed the setting sun.
She had been using her camera to get pictures of a fantastic sunset over Rodborough, on Sunday, May 17. When she looked at the images of the sunset, she noticed the mysterious thing.
You have to spot it to believe it, according to Daphne.
She initially thought of a flash on her camera or street lighting. However, when he looked at the details of the photo, her camera flash was off, and no street lighting on the area of the incident the next night
She may sound bonkers but these things don’t happen much, or do they?
Lately, there have been more people looking at the sky while staying inside their residence as a result of coronavirus, clear sky, and many of the Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX.
Do you think the bright thing in the photo is a UFO? Let us know in the comment section.

Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans, a Scientific History of ET Genetic Manipulation, Bruce Fenton
Exogenesis: the hypothesis that life originated elsewhere in the universe and was spread to Earth.
Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans offers a deep dive into the strongest ever scientific evidence that supports the popular belief that Earth has been visited in prehistory, but goes even further, concluding that there is also compelling evidence of alien involvement with the human genome. The broader history of possible extraterrestrial contact is explored alongside a look at current events in the subject of alien disclosure with the result of highlighting evidence of a contact continuum that has continued since the dawn of humanity. The data brought together suggests that the next stage in human evolution may involve the manifestation of full open contact with the visitors in our lifetimes.

A Lost World of Giants... A World-Wide Phenomena With Brad Olsen
Beyond Belief TV Series Special…Habitable life on this planet is far older than scientific cred-it is given and the research of Brad Olsen reveals that hominid life is far more diverse than anyone could have ever imagined. Legends of peoples great and small permeate every culture throughout the world. Teams of archaeologists and anthropologists have made amazing finds which substantiate the truth to such legends.
But to protect the accepted narrative of mainstream science, these findings have been quickly swept away and kept out of the inquisitive eye of the public. With the stirrings in Antarctica becoming more well-known, these secrets may not remain hidden for much longer.
Brad Olsen is the author of nine books, including two in his Esoteric Series: “Modern Esoter-ic” and “Future Esoteric.” An award-winning author, public speaker, radio show host of “The Esoteric Circle,” book publisher and event producer, his keynote presentations and interviews have enlightened audiences at convention all over the world.
It’s pretty clear that humans can have doppelgangers – other persons who look exactly like them, whether in the present or the past – but can galaxies? Astronomers studying fast radio bursts (what astronomer ISN’T studying fast radio bursts these days) hit a quintuple whammy recently when they traced four sets of fast radio burst back to the exact galaxies they were emitted from. And the fifth whammy came from follow-up observations which determined that these galaxies are doppelgangers of the Milky Way. Working its way up to whammy status is the last observation – while they can’t determine the exact cause of these FRBs, they’ve eliminated supermassive black holes – the generally accepted origin theory. That leaves … doppelganger aliens?
“Just like doing video calls with colleagues shows you their homes and gives you a bit of an insight into their lives, looking into the host galaxies of fast radio bursts gives us insights to their origins.”
Who knew we’d someday be Zooming with aliens — or at least with their galaxies? Dr. Shivani Bhandari, an astronomer with Australia’s national science agency (CSIRO) and lead author of a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, explains in a CSIRO press release that this astronomical breakthrough comes from using a specially designed transient detector on CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope in Western Australia. Not only did this telescope follow the trail back to the exact galaxies of four fast radio bursts, it was even able to determine where in the galaxies the signal source was located.
I’m listening.
“These precisely localized fast radio bursts came from the outskirts of their home galaxies, removing the possibility that they have anything to do with supermassive black holes.”
OK, not from supermassive, galaxy-central black holes. Aliens? Co-author CSIRO Professor Elaine Sadler thinks they might be coming from merging or colliding white dwarfs (small, dense stars) or neutron stars (collapsed stars that were too small to form a black hole) or magnetars (neutron stars with strong magnetic fields).
It sounds like the number of possible causes is expanding. However, Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who in 1967 was the first to detect the rapidly spinning neutron stars we now know as ‘pulsars’ (you have to admit, that’s pretty impressive – she should have gotten the Nobel Prize but at least she’s a Dame) had this to say:
“Positioning the sources of fast radio bursts is a huge technical achievement and moves the field on enormously. We may not yet be clear exactly what is going on, but now, at last, options are being ruled out.”
Try again … we dropped the signal
But not aliens … at least, not yet. Fast radio bursts continue to be one of the greatest and most mysterious discoveries of our time. The rapid pace of new discoveries as a result makes this an exciting time – a time that gives hope we may soon replace “I Want to Believe” memes with “I Believe!” facts.
Who knows? You just might have a doppelganger in another galaxy thinking the same thing.
Soon after the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope pinpointed a fast radio burst, named FRB 181112, ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) took this image and other data to determine the distance to its host galaxy (FRB 181112 location indicated by the white ellipses). The analysis of these data revealed that the radio pulses have passed through the halo of a massive galaxy (at the top of the image) on their way toward Earth.

Flying robots that can ‘think’ for themselves are already being developed, which some people fear will be able to snoop on and attack people living below.
And now a team of Hungarian scientists have managed to engineer the first ‘flock’ of drones that can fly as a coordinated group.
The collection of 10 copters can fly in formation, follow a leader and change flight patterns without human input, to act a little like migratory birds.

High flyers: A team of Hungarian scientists have managed to engineer the first 'flock' of drones that can fly as a coordinated group (pictured). The collection of 10 copters can fly in formation, follow a leader and change flight patterns without human input
THE ABILITIES OF THE DRONES
They are the first ‘flock’ of drones that can fly autonomously as a coordinated group.
The collection of 10 copters can fly in formation, follow a leader and change flight patterns without human input.
They can be instructed to form a circle and they each find a position along it and rotate slowly in the same direction. Their autonomous decisions avoid collisions in the air.
The drones are commercially available quadcopters – with four rotor blades – but have specially designed hardware on board that allow them to act as a swarm.
Created by scientists at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, the drones navigate using signals from GPS receivers and let each other know their positions via radio, Nature reported.
The researchers' breakthrough could mean that flocks of autonomous flying robots could take to the skies sooner than previously thought.
Experts created their own computer simulation after fitting tiny GPS trackers to pigeons (stock image pictured) to see how the birds fly as a flock and used the knowledge to inform the behaviour of their drones
Tamás Vicsek, a physics professor at the university, explained that the group of 10 drones can coordinate their movements to form circles or lines, which could be useful if one day the technology is used to create swarms of surveillance drones.
He and his team was inspired to create the robots after seeing a 1986 computer game called Boids that simulated flying objects according to three rules – alignment, attraction and repulsion - so that robots could fly in formation without crashing into each other.
The scientists created their own computer simulation (pictured) after fitting tiny GPS trackers to pigeons. While some people might fear that swarms of thinking drones could prove a surveillance menace, the scientists said they could be used for many peaceful applications, such as delivering food
They created their own computer simulation using the same ideas after fitting tiny GPS trackers to pigeons to see how they fly as a flock and used the knowledge to inform the behaviour of their drones.
‘We fed flocking algorithms to them so the copters can fly autonomously – totally eliminating the need for manual control,’ Professor Vicsek said.
‘Each has a little brain in the form of an on-board computer and is completely autonomous. All decisions, directions, flight positions are decided by them,’ he explained.

The researchers had to overcome the challenges of noise and delay, which it hard for copters to ‘see’ each other’s positions and sped up their reaction times. They plan on replacing radio signals with cameras to help the drones ‘see’ one another more easily in the future.
They will present their research at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, to be held in Chicago, Illinois in September.
While some people might fear that swarms of thinking drones could prove a surveillance menace, the scientists said they could be used for many peaceful applications, such as delivering food and parcels.
Commenting on the study, Iain Couzin, an expert on collective animal behaviour at Princeton University in New Jersey, told Nature: ‘This is remarkable work. It is the first outdoor demonstration of how biologically inspired rules can be used to create resilient yet dynamic flocks.’
The research suggests that ‘we will be able to achieve large, coordinated robot flocks much sooner than many would have anticipated,’ he added.
One of the most bizarre aerospace-related stories in recent memory was the saga of the unidentified drones that were reportedly seen throughout eastern Colorado and western Nebraska. Numerous reports were filed with various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, and a joint task force was eventually formed to investigate the phenomenon. Despite the attention the alleged mystery drones received, the case has largely faded out of the public eye, likely due to the lack of either answers or definitive evidence related to the drones’ origins.
Editor's Note:We asked our readers to help us investigate this image for a good reason. One of our esteemed commenters @Orb, found the photo using a reverse image search tool called Yandex. It appears to have emanated from a coordinated drone demonstration in this video. So we can safely say that the image included in the FOIA documents is not of the Colorado incidents.
The War Zone and Douglas D. Johnson of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies are still filing records requests at the federal and state level in relation to the apparent drone mystery and information is now starting to trickle in. As part of those requests, Johnson recently received a single email from the FAA that may contain the best image of the mystery drones we have seen, if that is indeed what the photograph shows.
The Unresolved Saga of the Mystery Drones of America’s West and Midwest
The War Zone was among the first outlets to report on the bizarre saga of the mystery drones being reported in the skies above Colorado and Nebraska. Reports of the drones first appeared in December 2019 and sightings continued into the first few months of 2020. Public concern grew so large that the FAA along with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies formed a task force that included a PC-12 surveillance aircraft operated by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. The War Zone is still actively pursuing Colorado state records in relation to that aircraft and its use to hunt for the drones, although those requests have faced significant delays due to disruptions stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
Public interest in the alleged drones seems to have died down and there is some speculation that a portion of these sightings could have been of misidentified satellites or conventional aircraft, which is far from implausible. Still, many of the sightings and accounts of drones have been made by trained personnel including law enforcement officers and the similarities among the most credible reports do suggest that formations of small unmanned aircraft have indeed been spotted flying around the region at low-level.
There was also rampant speculation that the drones were somehow related to or operated by nearby military installations including F.E. Warren Air Force Base. Emails obtained by Douglas D. Johnson of the SCU show that there was confusion and concern about the drones among personnel at the base and do not provide any conclusions that explain away the mystery. Nearly all the images in the documentation from F.E. Warren Air Force Base were strangely redacted, as well.
So, as it sits now, the strangest part of this bizarre saga is the lack of a resolution. No conclusive answers or pieces of evidence have been provided about the identity of the alleged drones, their operators, or how so many people, including reliable observers, were mistaken and by what. However, the addition of this latest image, obtained through the Freedom Of Information Act, could lend credence to the existence of the unidentified drone swarms.
The FAA’s Mysterious Image
The image Douglas Johnson obtained appears to show a formation of ten pairs of lights in the twilight or early morning sky, possibly belonging to the craft. Another object can be seen in the lower-right portion of the image which may be an individual’s silhouette, although the low resolution and the lighting conditions make it difficult to tell what exactly can be seen in the foreground in the photograph, but the lights of the airborne formation are distinct.
In the initial coverage of the unidentified drones in December 2019, The Denver Post reported that eyewitnesses described small aircraft featuring red, white, and blue lights. In the image included in the FAA email, some of the lights appear to be blue and red.
FAA VIA FOIA
The photograph was included in an email exchange between Ian Gregror, Communications Manager for the FAA Pacific Division, and Rick Breitenfeldt, a public affairs officer at the William J. Hughes Technical Center housed at the Atlantic City International Airport. From the email, it appears that the photograph was taken by a friend of Breitenfeldt’s brother-in-law who lives in central Nebraska. There is no other information in the emails, although Gregor did state that he wanted to pass the image on to local law enforcement agencies, presumably in Nebraska.
VIA FOIA
It’s still unclear what the photograph shows, although if confirmed to actually be a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles, it would certainly support many of the eyewitness reports of formations of drones moving through the skies above Colorado and Nebraska. It's also entirely possible that it could be from some other source material unrelated to the Colorado drone scare, but the fact that the FAA official passed it along with a personal reference is significant evidence that would seem to point to the contrary.
We invite our readers to help with this investigation. Does this image look familiar? Let us know in the comments below or via email.
We will continue to investigate the rash of reports of unidentified drones over the Central United States last winter and will have future updates as more information surfaces and our records requests are fulfilled.
Thanks once again to Douglas D. Johnson and the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) for providing The War Zone with these documents.
A new virtual reality experience lets you fly closely, but safely, towards the supermassive black hole embedded in the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
The "adventure" visualization is called Galactic Center VR and is based on data from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory, as well as other telescopes. The latest iteration allows viewers to see 500 years of evolution at Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole in the Milky Way's Center. You can view the experience for free from Steam or Vivepoint.
The Sgr A* simulation is based on modeling from 25 extremely bright and massive objects, called Wolf-Rayet stars. Similarly to supernovas, or star explosions, Wolf-Rayet stars push their outer layers of material into space. At Sgr A*, this star-shedding activity produces supersonic winds, and the material is picked up in the black hole's gravity.
"When the winds from the Wolf-Rayet stars collide, the material is heated to millions of degrees by shocks — similar to sonic booms — and produce copious amounts of X-rays," NASA said in a statement. "The center of the galaxy is too distant for Chandra to detect individual examples of these collisions, but the overall X-ray glow of this hot gas is detectable with Chandra's sharp X-ray vision."
A new visualization, made with data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other space telescopes, allows users to experience 500 years of cosmic evolution around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

The visualization displays about three light-years of space centered on Sgr A*, but the black hole is not shown to scale. It is enlarged by about 10,000 times to make it more visible; otherwise, NASA said, Sgr A* would only occupy a single pixel of space in the simulation.
Users can move around the simulation in different directions, playing with aspects such as the playback speed and the number of Wolf-Rayet winds shown. The visualization shows the Wolf-Rayet stars in white, with their orbits represented in gray. X-ray emissions are shown in blue and cyan, and wind material is portrayed in red and yellow. The overlap of wind materials and X-ray emissions is shown in purple.
Chandra is one of the two remaining NASA "Great Observatories" that launched to space in the 1990s and 2000s to observe astronomical phenomena in different wavelengths of light. The other observatories are the Hubble Space Telescope (still active), the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (decommissioned in 2000) and the Spitzer Space Telescope (retired earlier this year).
Not a furry mole, of course; the term is the nickname for the instrument formally known as the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package on board NASA's InSight lander mission. The lander, which touched down on Mars in November 2018, is designed to give scientists a look inside the Red Planet and gather data to help them understand its geology and internal structure. The mole is one of the lander's three key tools to accomplish that — but for more than a year, mission personnel have struggled to deploy it.
But after serious challenges, the mole has finally reached a new milestone. "After several assists from my robotic arm, the mole appears to be underground," the official Twitter account for the mission wrote yesterday (June 3). "It's been a real challenge troubleshooting from millions of miles away. We still need to see if the mole can dig on its own."
The mole consists of a drillbit-like assembly full of heat sensors that are attached to the main body of the lander by a taillike tether. The instrument is designed to hammer itself up to 16 feet (5 meters) into the Martian surface near InSight's home in a region called Elysium Planitia. The idea is that as it burrows down, the mole's temperature sensors will study the rock it digs through and evaluate how energy moves out from the planet's core.
It's a completely new type of instrument for Mars but, although the team tested it extensively in chambers of dirt on Earth, such analogs can never precisely match circumstances on the Red Planet. And so, just about as soon as the mole set out on its Martian dig, it struggled, getting stuck or backing out. Since then, InSight personnel have tried a range of tactics to get the mole digging successfully, running into obstacles every time.
The most recent technique involved using an arm on the lander to gently push the end of the mole as it dug to keep the probe from bouncing out. That's a delicate proposition since the InSight team needed to be careful to not damage the tether connecting the mole to the lander.

After several assists from my robotic arm, the mole appears to be underground. It’s been a real challenge troubleshooting from millions of miles away. We still need to see if the mole can dig on its own. More from our @DLR_en partners: http://bit.ly/3gSvB38#SaveTheMole
But according to a new blog post from Tilman Spohn, the German space agency scientist leading the mole team, this technique finally yielded some progress. The mole is now nearly entirely buried in the Martian soil, he wrote, with the scoop at the end of the lander arm near the surface. All told, that means the mole has moved about 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) into the rock between March 11 and May 30.
(Because the mission's instruments were supposed to be fully deployed by now and project personnel have other work to complete, the lander can only work on the mole problem once a week, slowing progress further, Spohn wrote.)
Next will come what the team calls the "free-mole" test, as the instrument progresses deeper than the lander's arm can assist. From now on, the mole will have to make its own way; whether it can likely depends on how much traction it can find in the column of dust and rock surrounding it.
However, external forces may soon interfere with the mole campaign, according to the blog post. "Winter is approaching on Mars' northern hemisphere and dust storm season will begin soon," Spohn wrote. "The atmosphere is already getting dustier and the power generated by the solar panels is decreasing. This may affect our ability to performing energy consuming operations with the arm in the near future. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed."
