CHINA’S “ARTIFICIAL SUN” FUSION REACTOR JUST SMASHED ITS OLD RECORD
CHINA’S “ARTIFICIAL SUN” FUSION REACTOR JUST SMASHED ITS OLD RECORD
THE REACTOR WAS 10 TIMES HOTTER THAN THE CORE OF THE SUN FOR MORE THAN 17 MINUTES.
COSTFOTO/BARCROFT MEDIA VIA GETTY IMAGES
Another One
A Chinese fusion reactor just completely demolished its own record.
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor was able to sustain a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 1,056 seconds, according to a release from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This smashed its previous record of 101 seconds, set last spring, by a full 1,000 percent.
The team behind the reactor is a part of the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AISPP), and achieved the record in late December.
“ASIPP has a perfect team,” Professor Yuntao Song, director-general of ASIPP, said in the release. “We will face up to difficulties no matter how hard it is!”
Store-Bought Sun
This marks another massive milestone for the EAST reactor. Dubbed the “artificial Sun,” the reactor is able to partly replicate the natural nuclear fusion process of stars. Researchers hope that it could eventually lead to sustainable, clean energy production.
The length that the EAST reactor can hold the high plasma temperatures is key. Fusion reactions need to be self-sustaining, and superheated plasma could be used to eventually create a self-sustaining reaction.
So we’re still likely a while off from commercial fusion power, even if some experts believe it’s just around the corner. Regardless, it’s cool to see China break record after record in the international race to create sustainable fusion power.
Long before sending off NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope on its long journey into deep space last month, engineers took the opportunity to take an epic group selfie back in 2017 — using their reflection in the telescope’s 21-foot mirror.
It’s an awe-inspiring look at the sheer scale of the operation that went viral on Reddit after the launch, not to mention a fitting homage to the thousands of scientists who made last week’s launch happen.
The Great Unfurling
The massive structure took off on top of an Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana on December 25, the culmination of tens of billions of dollars spent and decades of research and development.
Fortunately, everything is still going according plan — which is significant, given the hundreds of maneuvers the telescope has to complete to fully unfurl itself before becoming operational in a distant orbit around the Sun.
“Everything is hunky-dory and doing well now,” Amy Lo, a lead engineer for the telescope’s prime contractor, Northrop Grumman, during a Monday press conference, as quoted by the Associated Press.
Big Stretch
Over the weekend, the telescope successfully extended its sunshield, a protective cover designed to keep its scientific instruments safe and protected from harmful solar rays.
Chances are we won’t be hearing much from the JSWT team over the next coming days — and that’s a good thing.
“The best thing for operations is boring, and that’s what we anticipate over the next three days, is to be boring,” project manager Bill Ochs said during the conference.
In 1970, Allen Funt, the creator of the original and still most famous hidden camera, practical joke reality show, Candid Camera, released an X-rated movie calledWhat Do You Say to a Naked Lady? with an obvious premise that warranted the famous “adults only” X-rating. In late 2021, atrailerwas released for “Redgate” which was touted as a “True story film, with real footage of UFOs and Aliens” … including trail cam footage of what was described as a “naked alien.” What do you say to a naked alien? Until the movie is released (no date yet), let’s focus on what do you say ABOUT a naked alien … particularly one recorded in a known UFO hotspot location in Montana.
Was it a full alien Monty?
“The first one to think it was a person, but then the more I look at it was just odd, it was out of place and everything just matches the alien persona the bigger bulbous head, you can tell he has no clothes, it’s kind of a transparent being.”
The Sun this week featured the story of Donald Bromley, who claims to be a hunter in the Redgate area near the city of Deer Lodge in western Montana. (More on Redgate later.) Bromley says he had a large number of hidden cameras in Redgate in 2019 to track deer, wolves and other animals. When he saw he one particular recording (watch it here), he suspected it was an “alien persona” because the Redgate area has a history of UFOs and strange paranormal activity, as he described to KXLF.
“It’s just very rich in the paranormal field, like the UFOs, lights in the sky unexplainable things.”
It’s also very difficult to get to, which convince Bromley what he recorded was not a human – especially since no other trail cam sensors were tripped. Word of the video then reached Patrick W. Cutler, a Montana independent filmmaker and host of the Prison City Podcast – Deer Lodge is the home of the Montana State Prison. Cutler knows the history of the Redgate area – he told KXLF the name goes back 50 or more years to a bloody murder.
“Basically, there was a guy who had a farm or homestead and he came home one day from work and basically murdered his entire family and painted their gate red with their blood.”
From there, strange things began happening near Deer Lodge.
“There have been several people they’re driving around and they see something really bizarre just fly across the sky out of nowhere. I’ve heard stories of people just happen to be up here and out of nowhere their car just stalls out for no reason.”
A 2004 documentary titled “The Secret of Redgate” interviewed locals on their experiences with extraterrestrial beings, which many believe to be “Reticulians” or small grey aliens. Enough has happened since then to inspire Cutler to produce his own “Redgate” documentary with Bromley’s ‘naked alien’ as one of the new stories.
I had a grey jumpsuit on!
What do you say to a naked alien? Bromley and Cutler don’t say, but it appears they both believe the Redgate area is a Montana paranormal and UFO hotspot and Bromley’s recorded being was not a human. We’ll just have to wait for the file to be released to find out.
There are countless tales of the strange lurking about all about the Internet, many of them in the dark corners where many do not think to even look for them. Occasionally one will come across an incredible story that is at once completely outlandish and eyebrow raising, seeming to be surely the stuff of tall tales, and this is certainly one of those. The somewhat dubious tale we are looking at here begins with a man named John Smith, who was supposedly born in 1941 into a military family, going on in his young adult years to enroll in the military college of the US Air Force in 1960, from where he allegedly graduated with flying colors. He would go on to fight as a pilot in the Vietnam War, earning a “Medal for Service in Vietnam” and quite the reputation as a respected ace pilot, after which he set his sights on becoming an astronaut. In this endeavor he apparently succeeded, and he was assigned as what is referred to as a “cleaner,” part of a space mission to clear Earth’s orbit of various space junk including pieces of rockets, out of service satellites, and other random detritus and trash to make the void safe for space travel. This is where his life would apparently get weird, and become a very strange tale of a man lost in space, only to reappear alive decades later under some very mysterious circumstances.
In the 1970s, the U.S. government was fully engaged in an anti-satellite program in order to monitor and possibly engage enemy spy satellites. This had been going on since the early 1960s, with the creation of Program 505 in 1962, based at the Kwajalein Missile Range, about halfway between Hawaii and the Philippine islands, and using the Nike Zeus anti-ballistic missile to intercept satellites. This went on to form the foundation of Program 437, which was the second anti-satellite weapons program of the U.S. military, this time using PGM-17 Thor ballistic missiles to intercept low Earth orbiting satellites, and which had its facilities on Johnston Island, an isolated island in the north central Pacific Ocean. Both programs carried out a series of tests of high-altitude nuclear explosions and both were very real, but the program that Smith would supposedly become involved in was a bit different. Even when official anti-satellite programs and development were ended in 1975, anti-satellite technology continued, and Smith would become involved in one such plan, using astronauts to supposedly act as a security patrol in space against enemy satellites.
In this case, the idea was apparently to use a top-secret network of manned space vehicles designed to detect, hunt down, and destroy enemy ballistic missiles as well as satellites. The story goes that in October of 1973, Smith was launched up into space on a mission aboard a vessel disguised as a satellite in order to remain undetected as he went about his mysterious, top-secret work. Three days apparently went by without incident, but then his ship entered an area of anomalous heightened radiation and his maneuvering and orientation systems inexplicably went haywire. At the time there were also purportedly several unexplained bursts of unexplained radio noise that could not be tracked. NASA apparently tried to save the stricken astronaut, but were unable to do so, and his communications equipment then shut down entirely to leave him lost to space.
Soon after the strange incident, NASA purportedly went about covering it all up, noting the failed mission as simply the result of an accident during a training flight, making no mention of the radiation or the radio interference, and highly classifying the whole thing. There it would remain, in the files of tragedies in space, Smith relegated to the files of lost astronauts and space mysteries, but then in 2000, the lost spaceship that had been carrying Smith was allegedly discovered quite by accident when an amateur astronomer in the Fiji Islands observed an anomalous orbiting object at an altitude of 470 kilometers and reported it to the proper authorities, who became convinced that it was Smith’s spacecraft based on its trajectory and appearance. They then went about trying to retrieve the craft, and as it had fallen into a stable and low orbit it was able to be collected during the next flight of the shuttle Endeavor in 2001. This is where things get really weird.
When the spacecraft was brought to earth, it was apparently opened and much to the utter shock of all present, Smith was not only found inside, but he was still alive even after decades of being lost in space. He was unconscious and seemed to be in some sort of state of suspended animation, but no one could figure out how this could be. Efforts were made to revive him, and a medical examination would soon turn up some strange anomalies. For one, although Smith’s heart was in the right location, the thing was that before the flight he had been one of those rare people whose heart lies to the right rather than the more common left, yet now it was where it should be. There was also the fact that there were no signs of the fracture of the ribs he had sustained as a young boy and several large moles that he had had were gone, as well as some scars that he was known to have had. It was as if his body had been somehow “fixed.” This would only be the beginning of the strangeness, as his personal notebook was found with him in the compartment, which happened to be missing 50 pages and supposedly had 24 pages full of cryptic symbols that resembled hieroglyphics and which no one could decipher.
When Smith was lucid enough to talk, he would turn out to have no memory of what had happened to him and no awareness that he had been lost in space for nearly three decades, no sense that any time had passed at all, and he was quite the conundrum. As authorities tried to figure out what was going on, Smith would allegedly pull off one last mystery, when he one day just suddenly vanished from the facility where he was being kept without a trace. There was no sign as to how he could have escaped the secured area undetected, no trace of him on CCTV footage, nothing. It was as if he had just evaporated into thin air.
That is where this bizarre tale apparently ends. The government came in and had the whole thing classified and buried, and that was that. Seeing as the case only seems to be talked about on a few conspiracy sites and Reddit, with no sources really given and the whole “government top-secret cover-up” angle played to the hilt, there is a very likely chance that this is nothing but the stuff of Internet legends and creepypasta stories, the result of some people getting a little creative and starting up “unsolved mysteries” that have never really existed outside of the imagination. Take it all with a grain of salt, but the story has made the rounds, and true or not, tall tale or otherwise, it is all pretty bonkers and eye-brow raising all the same.
An unusual object was found on the Mars surface. Something that looks similar to something that may have fallen off a rocket, but it's clearly not part of the rover lander, because there are no rover tread marks coming from it. Instead the sand around it has ripples of bending and turning with the wind, but no tracks at all. Also there is no sign of other landing equipment. I have seen the landing craft of the rover and this is nothing like that. There have been many missions to Mars and this could be part of one of those craft, but the photo has no labels, no explanation and no notes at all. This very possibly could be alien technology found by the Mars Rover.

Below you see the rover looking at the debris but there is no tracks coming from the debris.
I found some alien structures on earths moon today. The structures are in a crater called Grotrian. One building is hexagon shaped, with a rectangle in its center. The other is like a military hanger. I also pointed out a few other possible structures and at 10:26 into the video below, I discovered another structure half buried. There is proof all around us of intelligent life in the universe, but this life which created it...was not across the universe, but on our own moon! And really, was it a living biological species or was it a species of AI robots? Whatever created these structures...one thing is obvious...it was very intelligent to create such things on the moon.

UFO lights filmed over Alaska 4-Jan-2022
New UFO video off the coast of Alaska 20 miles east of Mt. Redoubt. The event took place on 4th January 20222 at approximately 7:17pm Alaskan standard and lasted around three minutes time, according to witnesses it was extremely bright.

The aliens who wrecked my life: When PC Alan Godfrey had a close encounter, he was branded crazy and the fallout cost his job, his health and his marriage - with Hollywood set to tell his story do you believe his tale?
The year was 1980. Margaret Thatcher was in No. 10 and Jimmy Carter was in theWhite House. The Cold War was bracing and the Iron Curtain frozen shut. The Empire Strikes Back was packing out cinemas.
On a wet road in West Yorkshire, early in the morning of November 28, a policeman, coming to the end of his night shift, received a report from Todmorden, a small market town in the Calder valley, where people were complaining that a herd of cows had escaped from a field and were wandering around their gardens.
The officer in question was PC Alan Godfrey, then a 33-year-old married father of two, based at ‘Tod nick’. He set off to take a look. As he turned his Ford Escort panda car into Burnley Road at about 5.15am, he saw what he thought was a broken-down bus, blocking the road. Only, it wasn’t a bus. ‘As I inched closer, driving at a crawl, I saw a diamond-shaped object, about 20ft wide and 14ft high, literally hanging in the air about 5ft off the road.
‘It was spinning slowly, and the leaves on the road underneath were spinning in the opposite direction. It looked very real; real enough that if I’d got out of my car and thrown a brick at it, it would have made a clang,’ Alan recalls now.
On a wet road in West Yorkshire, early in the morning of November 28, a policeman, coming to the end of his night shift, received a report from Todmorden
Instead of getting out of the car, Alan turned on his blue light and tried to call in the incident. Yet curiously, neither his car radio, nor his personal set, was working.
‘Then my policeman’s instincts kicked in and I decided to make a sketch, just as I would if I’d come across a road traffic accident, to show the positions of the vehicles involved.’ There was then a ‘brilliant, white, blinding flash — a bit like having your photograph taken with the flash gun in your face’, and the next thing he remembers he was driving, stunned, in the opposite direction, back towards the police station, having lost several minutes of time.
The object had vanished but the patch of road surface was bone dry.
Far-fetched claims indeed. Could Alan simply have been overtired? Might he be a fantasist?
When you meet Alan Godfrey, a plain-speaking, affable Yorkshireman with two police commendations, he’s not the swivel-eyed oddball one normally associates with kooky UFO stories. He’s a dyed-in-the-wool beat bobby who has ‘no time for daft buggers’.
‘It was a factual event. It was real,’ he says today, as we revisit the spot — a non-descript, busy main road, with a stream and a park on one side — on a comparable cold, blustery day, 41 years later.
‘Was it an alien craft I saw, or was it of this earth? I don’t know. To be honest, it’s such a long time ago that it doesn’t matter to me whether people believe me or not. It happened.’
The officer in question was PC Alan Godfrey, then a 33-year-old married father of two, based at ‘Tod nick’. He set off to take a look
Whatever ‘it’ was nearly ruined Alan’s life. Ridiculed and hounded out of the job he loved, he slumped into alcoholism and his marriage broke up.
It was the love of his second wife, Kathryn, whom he married in 1995, that made him pick himself up and hold his head high again.
Alan is now something of a local celebrity, having been on the after-dinner speaking circuit for years. He has sat on TV sofas with Selina Scott and Frank Bough and had his story told by TV networks all over the world. His book, Who Or What Were They?, was published in 2017.
And, whatever your take on it, this is a fascinating tale. Which is why it is set to be turned into a Hollywood movie.
Alan has signed a deal with producer and screenwriter Michael Grais, best known as the co-writer of the 1982 film Poltergeist.
Michael is a huge Alan fan. ‘I met Alan and I totally believed him, 110 per cent. I did not feel there was a dishonest word coming out of his mouth,’ he says, speaking from California. ‘I’m not a UFO guy who sees conspiracies everywhere — I’m not part of that crew.
‘I’ll start writing the script in the summer and approach film companies. UFO stuff is very popular in the U.S. because, for the first time, the government has just admitted that they exist.’
What Michael is referring to here is the long-awaited, U.S. government report into UFOs published in June. Although the report did not admit to the existence of little green men, it did reveal that there were objects appearing in the sky that the Pentagon — which controls the U.S. military — could not explain, and the existence of extraterrestrials couldn’t be ruled out.
As he turned his Ford Escort panda car into Burnley Road at about 5.15am, he saw what he thought was a broken-down bus, blocking the road. Only, it wasn’t a bus
Todmorden has its own unique history concerning other-worldly matters. The Pennine region between Yorkshire and Lancashire has been dubbed ‘UFO valley’, as its unique geology and geography have led to thousands of what investigators term UAPs, or ‘Unidentified Atmospheric Phenomena’.
For example, just a week before Alan’s ‘encounter’, three Halifax policemen looking for a stolen motorbike saw bright lights moving around in the sky, something Alan learned about only years later.
But there was another, truly horrific, incident five months before Alan’s UFO sighting — again in Todmorden — that captured the world’s attention. Curiously, PC Alan Godfrey was one of the two officers who investigated that case.
Zigmund ‘Ziggy’ Adamski, a 56-year-old miner of Polish descent, had gone missing from his home near Wakefield in June 1980 after he’d nipped out to the local shop to buy some potatoes.
Five days later, his body was discovered 20 miles away at a coal yard in Todmorden. He was found lying on top of a 15ft coal pile, wearing a suit but no shirt. There were burn marks on the crown of his roughly shorn head and another wound at the back of his neck.
‘The oddest thing was that there was no coal dust or dirt on his body — he looked as though he’d simply lain down and died, on top of that pile of coal, having left no sign of how he got up there,’ says Alan.
‘His clothes, to me, suggested he’d been hastily redressed after death. But it was the look on his face that shocked me the most — I’ll never forget it. He looked like he’d been scared to death.’
Instead of getting out of the car, Alan turned on his blue light and tried to call in the incident. Yet curiously, neither his car radio, nor his personal set, was working
James Turnbull, the coroner who dealt with Zigmund’s death, commented later that it was the biggest mystery of his career. Why, for example, had he been missing for five days and yet had only one day’s growth of beard? And a corrosive liquid, found around the site of the neck wound couldn’t be identified.
A post-mortem examination concluded that Zigmund had died of heart failure due to ‘ischaemic heart disease’ and emphysema. The coroner recorded an open verdict.
No one was ever arrested or charged over his death. And while few doubt that he was killed, the strange circumstances led many to speculate about who, or what, that killer or killers might have been.
But back to that November incident which, predictably, made Alan the butt of his hard-bitten colleagues’ jokes. ‘When I walked into the station later that evening to begin my next shift, I was greeted with “ey up, it’s Captain Kirk”.’ But things were soon to turn very nasty. This was 1980, three months before the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, was caught.
West Yorkshire Police were under enormous scrutiny for failing to halt his five-year killing spree, and the last thing their public image needed was a local policeman in the news talking about seeing aliens. But, inevitably, the story leaked to the local newspaper, under the jokey headline ‘May The Force Be With You’.
But soon it wasn’t so funny. After the story went national, Alan was stunned to receive a letter from a professor at Moscow University, asking for more information about his ‘encounter’. In the middle of the Cold War, the USSR would have been very interested in unexplained aircraft, looking for military secrets. Alan dutifully handed everything to his superiors.
‘Then one day I was called into the inspector’s office and sitting there was a man in civilian clothing, who simply introduced himself as “the Man from the Ministry”.
‘He had a file on his lap which, when it flipped open, I could see contained my drawing from the night and my sudden-death report on Zigmund Adamski.
When you meet Alan Godfrey, a plain-speaking, affable Yorkshireman with two police commendations, he’s not the swivel-eyed oddball one normally associates with kooky UFO stories
‘They cited the Official Secrets Act and ordered me, in no uncertain terms, not to speak of it to the Press. After that, I felt they were out to get me. I left the job four years later.’
Alan talks about being persecuted, of seeing the ‘Man from the Ministry’ everywhere. He suspects his phone was tapped.
In 1984, he was offered a way out because of an old injury. He left the force with an unblemished, exemplary record.
He worked as a butcher, then for a security agency, but had started drinking heavily — a bottle of whisky a day. His marriage broke up in 1988. Fiercely protective of his ex-wife and family, he refuses to drag them into his story further.
By the early 1990s, he was at rock bottom. ‘I ended up living in a friend’s bedroom; I’d lost everything. I had no money, I’d parted from my first wife. It was Christmas and I couldn’t buy the kids anything. I remember lying face down on the floor, thinking there was no point in carrying on.
‘Then, suddenly, I thought: “Right, enough is enough. Get a grip, you daft bugger!” And that’s what I did. I got myself a flat, met Kath and she sorted me out.’
‘Sorted’ is exactly how you’d describe Alan today. Happily married, with three grandchildren and now retired, he clearly revels in his celebrity status around town. He drives a car with ‘UFO’ on the number plate.
But still the cynics pour scorn on his claims. The key sceptic is Dr David Clarke, associate professor at Sheffield Hallam University, where he is a co-founder of the Contemporary Legend research group and author of the book The UFO files.
He’s been following Alan’s story — and that of Zigmund Adamski — since he worked as a reporter on The Yorkshire Post.
Whatever ‘it’ was nearly ruined Alan’s life. Ridiculed and hounded out of the job he loved, he slumped into alcoholism and his marriage broke up
His take on what happened in June and November of 1980 is very different from the former police officer’s.
‘I don’t dispute Alan saw something that night, but what it was I wouldn’t want to say,’ he says.
‘When people speak of hallucinations, there are bad connotations as they are associated with mental illness, but completely sane people have hallucinations all the time.’
Dr Clarke cites the work of the late groundbreaking neurological anthropologist Oliver Sacks, who described a hallucination as ‘seeing with the brain — something that isn’t under our control, that seems to come from the outside and to mimic perception’, and for which there is always a physical, medical explanation.
‘Alan describes sitting, looking at this thing and then a blast of white light, after which he couldn’t remember anything, until he found himself driving along the road. That sounds exactly like someone describing an epileptic fit.
‘As for Adamski, he was most certainly abducted, tortured and killed — but not by aliens. His death was caused by human beings. And what better way to wipe away traces of evidence from a body than to dump it on top of a coal pile in the pouring rain, to have everything washed away?
‘The case should have been investigated properly, and it wasn’t because of this alien connection.’
When the Ministry of Defence released all its files on UFO sightings to the National Archives back in 2014, Alan’s report was not in there.
Alan has signed a deal with producer and screenwriter Michael Grais, best known as the co-writer of the 1982 film Poltergeist
‘Alan sees this as a cover-up by the MoD, but I think it wasn’t there because West Yorkshire Police didn’t send it to them,’ says Dr Clarke. ‘They never received it; they were embarrassed.
‘As for the “Man from the Ministry” . . . that was clearly a man from Yorkshire Police, trying to get him to shut up.
‘What Alan does make clear is that it was real to him. But what if you’d been driving along the same road, at the same time. Would you have seen what Alan saw, or would you have seen some copper sitting in his car, staring straight ahead?’
Alan bats Dr Clarke’s comments away with affable good humour. No, he isn’t epileptic, and no he hasn’t had any ‘hallucinations’ before or since that episode.
‘But I do often think about that night, and what would have happened if I’d turned right up into the estate, and not carried along Burnley Road. My life would have been very different.
‘Would I have reported the incident, if I’d known what would happen? Probably not.’

2021 in twaalf leuke wetenschapsfeiten
2021 in twaalf leuke wetenschapsfeiten
Na een jaar vol coronagolven, overstromingen en confronterende klimaatrapporten trakteert Hetty Helsmoortel je op wat luchtiger nieuws. Hier volgt voor elke maand van het jaar een al dan niet wetenschappelijk fait divers!
Januari
In januari lossen Zwitserse en Russische professoren een meer dan zestig jaar oude verdwijningszaak op met dank aan de Disney-film Frozen. Het computeralgoritme dat in de film gebruikt wordt om digitale sneeuw en ijs realistisch te laten overkomen, kan namelijk het ultieme bewijs leveren dat een groep avonturiers in 1959 door een sneeuwramp om het leven kwam. Het maakt meteen een einde aan vele complottheorieën, zoals dat ze ontvoerd zouden zijn door aliens, aangevallen door een yeti, of dat hun verdwijning een experiment was van de Russische overheid. Boodschap aan de samenzweerders: laat het los.
Februari
In februari maakt de nieuwe Mars-rover Perseverance een geslaagde landing. De parachute bestaat uit een chaotische aaneenschakeling van rode en witte vlakken. Maar NASA zou NASA niet zijn als in dat patroon geen code verstopt zit. Na een paar uur rekenen vinden puzzelaars het antwoord: ‘Dare mighty things’: durf machtige dingen doen.
Maart
In maart vindt een Amerikaanse podcaster een nieuwe pastavorm uit. Alle bestaande pastasoorten voldeden volgens hem nooit aan drie belangrijke criteria tegelijk: sausbaarheid (of ze precies de juiste hoeveelheid saus kan op- nemen), vorkbaarheid (of je ze makkelijk op je vork kunt prikken) en tandzinkbaarheid (of ze voldoening geeft om er je tanden in te laten zinken). Zijn gloednieuwe Cascatelli – Italiaans voor waterval – voldoen aan alle criteria. De eerste zevenhonderd dozen zijn binnen de twee uur uitverkocht. Zijn ‘mission impastable’ is geslaagd.
April
In april krijgt een Poolse dierenhulporganisatie een oproep binnen over een vreemd beest dat in een boom op de loer zou liggen. ‘Mensen openen hun ramen niet meer, omdat ze bang zijn dat het hun huis zal binnensluipen’, klinkt het. Nog maar een voorbeeld van diersoorten die oprukken naar het noorden op zoek naar een koelere habitat? Nee hoor, het blijkt uiteindelijk om een croissant te gaan.
Mei
In mei komt een onderzoeksbureau met het nieuws dat gummibeertjes en muntjes de grootste economische slachtoffers van de coronapandemie zouden zijn. De beertjes omdat mensen amper impulsaankopen doen bij online shoppen, de muntjes omdat mensen bij minder contact met vreemde ook minder nood hebben aan een frisse adem.
Juni
In juni stellen Britse en Nieuw-Zeelandse onderzoekers een naar eigen zeggen revolutionair apparaat voor gewichtsverlies voor. Met de DentalSlim worden de boven- en ondertanden met magneten aan elkaar vastgemaakt, zodat patiënten hun mond niet verder dan 2 millimeter kunnen opendoen.
Juli
In juli, bij de start van de Olympische Spelen, leer ik dat al het metaal voor de bijna vijfduizend gouden, zilveren en bronzen medailles uit afgedankte elektronische apparaten gehaald werd, die in heel Japan werden ingezameld.
Augustus
Voor augustus vond ik – net als vorig jaar – niets. Het was dan ook alweer komkommertijd. De langste komkommer ter wereld dateert trouwens nog steeds van 2011 en is 107 centimeter lang.
September
Over komkommers gesproken: in september horen we dat het Gentse Universiteitsmuseum GUM een nieuwe expo voorbereidt over de fallus. Klein probleem wel: alle e-mails van medewerkers blijven vastzitten in de firewall. Aan de ICT-collega’s moet worden gevraagd of de spamfilter van de universiteit voor een paar maanden wél alle piemels kon doorlaten.
Oktober
In oktober lees ik dat twee Franse monniken twee 5G-masten in brand staken (zie ook ‘Monniken met illusies’, Eos nr. 11, 2021). Ze wilden naar eigen zeggen aandacht vragen voor gezondheidsrisico’s van 5G. Voor alle duidelijkheid: wetenschappelijk bewijs is daar niet voor. De kloosterorde staat achter de overtuiging van de monniken en ziet de brandstichting als ‘een losstaande actie en een fout van de jeugd’. De monniken zijn 39 en 40 jaar oud.
November
In november gaat mijn wetenschappelijk jaaroverzicht Missie 2021in première, waarin ik terugkijk op de verhalen die mij als wetenschapper én als mens het afgelopen jaar het meest geraakt hebben.
December
En vorige week werd de James Webb Space Telescope gelanceerd. De opvolger van de Hubbletelescoop zal ons de komende jaren moeten verbluffen met nieuwe beelden én kennis van ons machtige universum.
HET ONTVOUWEN VAN DE MACHTIGE JAMES WEBB-TELESCOOP IS IN VOLLE GANG
HET ONTVOUWEN VAN DE MACHTIGE JAMES WEBB-TELESCOOP IS IN VOLLE GANG
Vivian Lammerse
Het duimendraaien is begonnen. Want terwijl de ruimtetelescoop door het uitgestrekte heelal vliegt, moeten duizenden onderdelen correct en in de goede volgorde worden uitgeklapt.
Afgelopen zaterdag, op eerste kerstdag, was het dan zo ver: de lancering van de langverwachte James Webb-telescoop. En met succes. Want ondanks de vele tegenslagen die de telescoop de afgelopen jaren te verduren heeft gekregen, verliep de lancering op rolletjes. Nu is het duimendraaien begonnen. Want de komende periode is een ongelofelijk spannende, waarin duizenden onderdelen correct, in de goede volgorde, uitgeklapt moeten worden.
Onderdelen De James Webb-telescoop bestaat uit talloze onderdelen. Bij de lancering zaten al die onderdelen netjes in elkaar gevouwen. Maar terwijl de telescoop op zijn eindbestemming afstevent, zullen steeds meer elementen uitgeklapt worden. Dat is zeker geen gelopen race. Volgens NASA kan het na lancering nog op zo’n 300 punten zodanig misgaan, dat de telescoop niet optimaal kan functioneren.
In volle gang Op dit moment is het ontvouwen van de machtige ruimtetelescoop – en dus het duimendraaien – in volle gang. Zo’n dertig minuten na de lancering werden de zonnepanelen al uitgevouwen. Deze zijn nu volledig ingezet en werken naar behoren. Gisteren volgden de antennes. Met de antennes zal de ruimtetelescoop in staat zijn om tweemaal daags tenminste 28,6 gigabyte aan wetenschappelijke gegevens naar de aarde te verzenden. Daarnaast zijn ook de temperatuursensoren op de telescoop geactiveerd, waarmee technici de thermische systemen van de telescoop in de gaten kunnen houden.
Zonneschild De komende periode zullen er steeds meer onderdelen volgen. Met name het uitklappen van het immense zonneschild, dat ongeveer net zo lang is als een tennisveld, gaat spannend worden. Het zonneschild is namelijk van cruciaal belang voor het functioneren van de telescoop. Dit schild wordt als een soort paraplu om de spiegels en instrumenten van de telescoop gevouwen en beschermt onder meer de zeer gevoelige infrarood-instrumenten – die heel koud moeten blijven om te functioneren – tegen de warmte van de zon. De eerste stappen voor het uitklappen van het zonneschild zullen vandaag worden gezet.
Spiegels Een ander zenuwslopend moment zal het uitvouwen van de spiegels zijn. De James Webb is uitgerust met zowel een hoofdspiegel (die uit achttien afzonderlijke spiegels bestaat die zich samen als één grote spiegel moeten gedragen) en een secundaire spiegel. Op dag tien van de missie zal de secundaire spiegel in gereedheid worden gebracht. Deze spiegel is één van de belangrijkste onderdelen op de telescoop en essentieel voor het succes van de missie. En dus mag er tijdens het uitklappen niets misgaan. De spiegel bevindt zich op drie stangen die vanaf de hoofdspiegel naar de secundaire spiegel lopen. Deze kleinere, ronde spiegel speelt vervolgens een hele belangrijke rol bij het verzamelen van het licht van de hoofdspiegel. Het idee is dat de hoofdspiegel het zwakke licht van onder meer de eerste en meest afgelegen sterrenstelsels verzamelt. De secundaire spiegel reflecteert vervolgens het door de hoofdspiegel verzamelde licht in de wetenschappelijke instrumenten aan boord van James Webb. Het is belangrijk dat de spiegels goed worden geïnstalleerd, want een afwijking van meer dan 38 nanometer – één duizendste van de dikte van het haar van een mens – kan al problemen op leveren. Het uitvouwen van de hoofdspiegel begint op dag twaalf.
Bekijk in deze video wanneer alle specifieke onderdelen uitgevouwen zullen worden.
In totaal zal James Webb er 29 dagen over doen om al zijn onderdelen in gereedheid te brengen. En dat terwijl de telescoop ook nog eens in rap tempo op zijn eindbestemming afstevent: een plek op een slordige 1,6 miljoen kilometer van de aarde. Het belooft dan ook een zenuwslopende periode te worden, waarin er nog van alles mis kan gaan. Maar als de telescoop erin slaagt zijn reis succesvol te voltooien, sluit hij daarmee formeel de moeilijkste en meest complexe implementatiereeks af die ooit in de ruimte is uitgevoerd.
After shedding its fairing and booster rocket, the first two deployments are 'automatic,' meaning they happen without the ground giving commands. Once the solar panel is deployed, the telescope will go off of battery power and start generating its own power.
Traditiegetrouw sluiten we het jaar af met een lijst van de mooiste ruimtefoto’s. Wat waren de allermooiste ruimtefoto’s van dit jaar? Ruim 900 bezoekers kozen de volgende tien foto’s.
We tellen in dit artikel terug van de nummer 10 naar de nummer 1. De hoger geplaatste foto’s hebben betere beoordelingen gekregen van de bezoekers en staan daarom hoger in de lijst.
Net buiten de lijst: Spiraalstelsel NGC 1317
NGC 1317 is een klein spiraalstelsel op een afstand van 55 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde. Dit sterrenstelsel ligt vlak naast “grotere broer” NGC 1316. NGC 1316 heeft drie miljard jaar geleden een spiraalstelsel opgeslokt. NGC 1316 en NGC 1317 zijn lid van een clubje genaamd “De Lokale Groep”, waar ook de Melkweg deel van uitmaakt. De foto is gemaakt door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop. NGC 1317 eindigde net buiten de top 10.
#10 Bolvormige sterrenhoop NGC 6397
De Hubble-ruimtetelescoop maakte begin dit jaar een schitterende foto van deze kosmische juwelen. We zien hier het bolvormige sterrenhoop NGC 6397 op een afstand van 7.800 lichtjaar van de aarde. De blauwe sterren naderen het einde van hun leven. Zij hebben alle waterstof opgestookt en verbranden nu hun heliumvoorraad. Helium fuseert bij hogere temperaturen, waardoor de sterren er blauw uitzien. De rode sterren zijn superreuzen, terwijl de kleine witte sterren zonachtige sterren zijn.
#9 Zonsverduistering in Nederland
Dit jaar was er een zonsverduistering te zien in de Benelux. Op 10 juni schoof de maan deels voor de zon, waardoor een deel van de zon verduisterd werd. Nederlanders en Belgen met een eclipsbrilletje zagen een hapje uit de zon genomen worden. René Bremer legde deze unieke gebeurtenis vast en fotografeerde tegelijkertijd een vliegtuig, namelijk een Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. Het gaat hier om vlucht UA90 van New York naar Tel Aviv. Een schitterende foto, die door jullie op plek 9 in de eindlijst is gezet. Bekijk meer foto’s van de zonsverduistering op Scientias.nl.
#8 NGC 4254
Het spiraalstelsel NGC 4254 werd eerder dit jaar gefotografeerd door de Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) van ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Dit sterrenstelsel ligt op 45 miljoen lichtjaar afstand van de aarde. De spiraalarmen geven een gouden gloed af, wat komt door de wolken van geïoniseerde waterstof-, zuurstof- en zwavelgas. Hier worden jonge sterren geboren.
#7 Supernovarestant 1E 0102.2-7219
Ruim duizend jaar geleden explodeerde er een zware ster in de Kleine Magelhaense Wolk. De Kleine Magelhaense Wolk is een naburig sterrenstelsel. De restant van de ster is dit jaar gefotografeerd door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop en staat op een mooie zevende plek in de eindlijst van 2021. Supernovarestant 1E 0102.2-7219 is 202.000 lichtjaar van de aarde verwijderd en werd pas in 1981 ontdekt.
#6 NGC 1300
NGC 1300 bevindt zich op 61 miljoen lichtjaar afstand. Hierboven zijn opnamen van MUSE en ALMA gecombineerd. De ALMA-waarnemingen komen vooral tot uiting in bruinachtig oranje tinten die de aanwezigheid van koud gas onthullen. MUSE is verantwoordelijk voor gouden en blauwe tinten, waarbij de goeden gloed op pasgeboren sterren wijst en de blauwe tinten wat oudere sterren vertegenwoordigen. Bekijk ook andere foto’s van sterrenstelsels.
#5 Centrum van onze Melkweg
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft dit jaar een bijzondere panorama uitgebracht van ons galactische centrum. Het centrum van de Melkweg bevindt zich op 26.000 lichtjaar van de aarde. Het kosmische meesterwerk is gemaakt door data te combineren van de Zuid-Afrikaanse MeerKAT radiotelescoop en NASA’s Chandra-röntgenobservatorium. Het mozaïek is het resultaat van 370 Chandra-waarnemingen van 1999 tot 2019. In totaal gaat het om 1.555 uur en 26 minuten aan observaties, wat neerkomt op ruim 64 dagen.Het centrum van ons Melkwegstelsel is een kosmisch web van heet gas en magnetische velden met in het midden: een supermassief zwart gat.
#4 Jupiter in drie golflengtes
Wetenschappers hebben verbluffende nieuwe beelden vrijgegeven van planeet Jupiter. Op de foto’s schittert de gasreus op drie verschillende golflengtes van licht, wat ons een uniek inkijkje geeft in de onstuimige atmosfeer van de grootste planeet uit ons zonnestelsel. De beelden in zichtbaar licht en ultraviolet licht werden vastgelegd door Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, terwijl het Near-InfraRed Imager (NIRI)-instrument van Gemini North zich ontfermde over de infraroodbeelden. Alle foto’s werden precies op hetzelfde moment gemaakt.
#3 NGC 2276
De Hubble-ruimtetelescoop heeft dit jaareen scherpe foto gemaakt van NGC 2276. Op het eerste gezicht lijkt NGC 2276 een fraai spiraalstelsel, maar wie goed kijkt ziet uitgerekte spiraalarmen en gigantische stervormingsgebieden. Dit sterrenstelsel is 120 miljoen lichtjaar van de aarde verwijderd. In de spiraalarmen van het spiraalstelsel worden veel sterren geboren.
#2 Ster AG Carinae
Hubble vierde zijn 31e verjaardag met deze prachtige foto van AG Carinae. Dit is één van de helderste sterren in ons sterrenstelsel. Om de ster zijn flarden van gas en stof zichtbaar, die onlangs zijn uitgestoten door de ster. AG Carinae is slechts een paar miljoen jaar oud, maar zal binnenkort sterven. In vergelijking: onze zon gaat veel efficiënter om met zijn brandstof en heeft daarom een levensduur van ongeveer tien miljard jaar (waarvan er inmiddels 4,5 miljard jaar zijn verstreken).
De ster is momenteel een zogenoemde Lichtsterke Blauwe Variabele. Zo’n hyperreus zendt meer dan 100.000 keer zoveel licht uit per tijdseenheid als de zon. Wetenschappers denken dat AG Carinae in de nabije toekomst een Wolf-Rayetster wordt. Wolf-Rayetsterren verliezen hun massa door krachtige sterrenwinden. Ze leven heel kort en exploderen in een supernova of hypernova. Uiteindelijk blijft er waarschijnlijk een zwart gat achter.
#1 Stellaire kraamkamer AFGL 5180
Op deze Hubble-foto zien we nieuwe sterren geboren worden. Deze stellaire kraamkamer heet AFGL 5180 en is te vinden in het sterrenbeeld Tweelingen. Sterren ontstaan door het samentrekken van gaswolken (nevels) die wel enkele lichtjaren – de afstand die licht aflegt in een jaar tijd – breed kunnen zijn. De ineenstorting ontstaat onder de invloed van zijn eigen gewicht en de zwaartekracht. Dit proces kan enkele honderdduizenden jaren duren. Lees hier hoe het leven van een ster (van wieg tot graf) eruit ziet.
Met een gemiddeld cijfer van een 8,4 is AFGL 5180 verkozen tot ruimtefoto van het jaar 2021. Een prachtige prestatie!
NASA announce telescope breakthrough for alien-hunting mission
NASA announce telescope breakthrough for alien-hunting mission
Following the Christmas day launch of the Hubble telescope successor - the James Webb Space Telescope - surprise early progress has been made giving the project a boost that could see it remain in space longer than expected
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched last week by NASAalong with help from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
The launch was completed smoothly leaving the telescope to begin the lengthy process of setting up so that it can begin its important work.
It is believed to have cost around £7.9 billion and is regarded as the successor to the Hubble Telescope, taking over as NASA's flagship mission in astrophysics. The new model is set to provide clearer space images, helping us explore far away galaxies and alien life.
The telescope gets its name from the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968, James E. Webb.
The investigations of the telescope will be broad, looking to improve humanity's understanding of astronomy and cosmology.
What breakthrough has the James Webb Space Telescope made?
The launch of the telescope was monumentally successful, which has meant that the project has more fuel to burn than originally expected.
This means the operation can last for longer.
NASA said the telescope would have enough fuel to: "Allow support of science operations for significantly more than a 10-year science lifetime”
The minimum timeline for the mission had been set at five years.
The research part of the project gets its energy for research from solar power - the solar panel array for which is believed to have been properly deployed already and ahead of schedule.
The telescope as a whole, however, will use traditional propellant methods to position itself in space correctly to conduct its research.
The telescope aims to get to a position being called L2, which is where it is planned to conduct its research from. However, it is thought to not only have enough rocket propellant to get to this point but also to conduct all of the telescope's requirements for an extended period of time.
These include "station keeping" burns that will keep it the right way up and in the correct position in orbit to conduct its work.
The extra propellant has been saved due to the accuracy of the Ariane 5 launch, which took the telescope into space on Christmas day.
Subsequent correction manoeuvres have also been so accurate that overall fuel has been saved and more is now left in its tanks than was expected.
The solar array was meant to deploy either after the correct angle with the sun was found or after 33 minutes from launch. In a huge moment of success, the array was deployed after 29 minutes after launch.
The next stage is to deploy other parts of the telescope, including mirrors that will help researchers gaze deep into space. It is hoped this stage will be reached a month after the launch.
Once this has been completed the following deployment stages will be human-controlled and so the timing of these steps could vary.
Once everything is deployed correctly months of alignments and calibrations will be needed to ensure the telescope is set up perfectly.
When this stage is reached the James Webb will set about helping humanity learn more and more about the cosmos and expand our knowledge of the great beyond.
In November 2021, a photo from China’s Yutu 2 Rover was released showing. According to JP, a pseudonym for my longtime source who currently serves with the US Army, China’s space force (the People’s Liberation Army Strategy Support Force) and US Space Command have recently begun joint missions to explore the object, and that he participated in one of the first missions.
JP claims that early in the morning of December 23, he was sent to a secret research facility on the Moon on a triangle-shaped antigravity vehicle, and was then taken to the giant spacecraft that was partially submerged under the lunar surface. JP says part of the craft’s exterior had been discovered by China’s Yutu 2 rover, and that a joint operation to explore the craft, which was the size of two aircraft carriers had begun between US Space Command and the PLA’s space force.
JP said the giant alien spacecraft was discovered when it began to activate after an extraterrestrial fleet entered our solar system in October, and parked itself between Jupiter and Ganymede. JP participated in an earlier classified mission to Ganymede where he met with some of the extraterrestrial visitors. In this Exopolitics Today interview, JP discusses his role in the classified Moon mission and what he witnessed first-hand.
If anyone else currently serving in the US military would like to contact me regarding their own knowledge and/or experiences regarding recent Moon, Ganymede or other solar system missions, I can be reached at drsalla@exopolitics.org
Heartfelt thanks to my wife, Angelika Whitecliff, for her creative visuals and editing of this interview.
Michael Salla, Ph.D.
Update 5:45 pm, 12/31/2021 – JP has just informed me that he is currently facing disciplinary measures for releasing information about the classified Moon mission into the public arena. There are those in his direct military chain of command that assert the information was not supposed to be publicly released and want to punish him. Despite JP getting into trouble for his actions, and having to do “unpleasant jobs” as punishment, he intends to continue to reveal information, but emphasizes the need for his continued anonymity. He says that he is being protected by a lot of “white hats” that want the information to come out. I am working on another update concerning information JP received about Antarctica, which the “white hats” want to come out.]
Two UFO "Orbs" Sighted By Family Over Karlsfeld In Germany. January 3, 2022
While this family was out for an late evening walk they noticed these two objects in the sky, at first the objects where not moving but then of the UFOs started to move in what can only be described as a "dance in sky" as if it was performing for this family. The objects seem to have no visible nav lights and doesn't move like a drone or a bird.
Thanks to AG1 & his family for allowing me the use of this footage and to view the original video:

James Webb Space Telescope: Sunshield Deployment - Mission Control Live
James Webb Space Telescope experts give real-time updates in the final stages of the telescope’s sunshield deployment. A major milestone, the successful shield tensioning will ensure Webb’s mirrors stay cold enough to #UnfoldTheUniverse.
The five-layer, tennis court-sized sunshield is a critical part of the telescope because the infrared cameras and instruments aboard must be kept very cold and out of the Sun's heat and light to function properly.
Bring up the matter of cattle mutilations and, in all likelihood, it will lead into a UFO connection to the disturbing, grisly phenomenon. The fact is, though, there are good reasons to believe that the mutilations have absolutely nothing to do with aliens and UFOs. The truth is worse. Much worse. Since at least 1967, reports have surfaced throughout the United States of animals – but, chiefly, cattle – slaughtered in bizarre fashion. Organs are taken and significant amounts of blood are found to be missing. In some cases, the limbs of the cattle are broken, suggesting they have been dropped to the ground from a significant height. Evidence of extreme heat, to slice into the skin of the animals, has been found at mutilation sites. Eyes are removed, tongues are sliced off, and, typically, the sexual organs are gone. While the answers to the puzzle remain frustratingly outside of the public arena, theories abound. They include extraterrestrials, engaged in nightmarish experimentation of the genetic kind; military programs involving the testing of new bio-warfare weapons; occult-based groups that sacrifice the cattle in ritualistic fashion; and government agencies secretly monitoring the food chain, fearful that something worse than “Mad Cow Disease” may have infected portions of the U.S. cattle herd – and, possibly, as a result, the human population, too. Not only that, the notorious black helicopters are often seen at mutilation sites.
(Nick Redfern) Black Helicopters and Cattle Mutilations
As I said above, it was 1967 when reports began. At least, that’s what numerous Ufologists will assure you. The fact, though, is that government agencies have been carefully and quietly watching the United States’ cattle since the 1940s. And I’m not talking about alien agencies. I’m talking of human agencies. By stating that the phenomenon kicked-off in the Sixties made it sound like the mystery suddenly surfaced out of nowhere. The mystery – for the farmers, at least – was around for decades earlier. J.R. Ruggle, the FBI Special-Agent-in-Charge at the Savannah, Georgia office of the Bureau in the early-to-mid 1940s, wrote thus to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover on February 3, 1943: “This office has received a copy of a communication from John T. Bissel, Colonel, General Staff, Assistant Executive Officer, Military Intelligence Service, Washington, D.C., dated December 29, 1942, to directors of intelligence in all Service commands…”
Colonel Bissel’s communication read as follows: “It has been brought to the attention of this division the possibility in the immediate future of an attempt on the part of the enemy to plant bombs containing germs or to endeavor to create an epidemic, such as hoof and mouth disease, among cattle and other livestock. It is requested that should any information concerning the above come to the attention of the Directors of Intelligence of the Service Commands or the A.C. of S. [Assistant Chief of Staff], G-2 [Army Intelligence], Western Defense Command, that the same be transmitted by the most expeditious means to the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2 War Department.” Evidently, such matters were of keen concern to U.S. Intelligence. And that concern did not go away any time soon. In 1944, the FBI prepared a document that dealt with the scenario of a widespread attack on the U.S. cattle herd via unconventional, bacteriological warfare. The document states:
(Nick Redfern)
Helicopters but no UFOs
“A review of the book entitled ‘Sabotage’ by Michael Sayers and Albert E. Kahn, which was published in September of 1942, discloses the following data: The complete record of sabotage carried out by Chernov, supposedly of the German Intelligence service in Russia during 1930 to 1936 is too long to put into the book according to the authors, but includes – killing off pedigree breed-stock and raising cattle mortality by artificially infecting cattle with various kinds of bacteria – effecting a shortage of serum to counteract epidemics of anthrax so that, in one instance, 25,000 horses perished as a result of Chernov’s sabotage – infecting tens of thousands of pigs with erysipelas and with certain plagues by having virulent bacteria placed in medicinal sera.”
What this tells us is that government agencies have been secretly watching America’s cattle herds since the Second World War. None of the data above has a proven a UFO connection. And, based on the timeline from the 1940s, there’s no reason why that should be the same for the 1960s-1980s cases: zero aliens. Now, let’s bring matters to more recent times. Colm Kelleher is an investigative writer who has diligently pursued the cattle mutilation issue. Indeed, his book Brain Trust has the subtitle of “The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease.” A bone-chilling connection between Alzheimer’s, cattle mutilations and the cattle herd: wouldn’t it be very easy to hide the truth behind an “it’s all aliens” angle? Yes, it most definitely would be very easy. Why? Because the UFO angle provides a convenient cover. Cattle mutilations: forget creatures from outer-space. Look right here on Earth for the answer to the mutilations.
The world’s most famous dimming star is KIC 8462852, better known as “Tabby’s Star” for Tabetha S. Boyajian, the astronomer whose scientific paper in 2015 revealed its peculiar propensity for dimming and glowing at irregular intervals. Speculation on causes for the dimmings ranged from dust rings to planetary debris to a second smaller binary star to an extremely large planet to the ever-popular alien-constructed Dyson sphere harvesting Tabby’s energy. While none of these conclusively explain Tabby’s dimmings, they raise the bar for other similar stars and objects to catch the attention of astronomers and the public. A candidate for 15 minutes of flame-on-flame-off fame emerged this week and it could be nicknamed ‘Dusty’ for the star-dimming cloud it’s causing, or “Wacky’ for the strange and mysterious way it operates.
“We report the discovery of a unique object of uncertain nature—but quite possibly a disintegrating asteroid or minor planet—orbiting one star of the widely separated binary TIC 400799224.”
TIC 400799224 was discovered by a team of astronomers using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS – TIC stands for TESS Input Catalog). TESS specializes in finding small exoplanets and that’s kind of what TIC 400799224 is – an exoplanet orbiting a star system around 2,300 light-years away. The Center for Astrophysics (a collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Harvard College Observatory) reports that CfA astronomer Karen Collins and the team found the object by accident when they noticed a 25% rapid drop in brightness for a few hours, followed by several sharp jumps in brightness similar to an eclipse. (A photo can be seen here.) However, this was like no eclipse they had seen before.
An optical/near-infrared image of the sky around the TESS Input Catalog (TIC) object TIC 400799224 (the crosshair marks the location of the object, and the width of the field of view is given in arcminutes). Astronomers have concluded that the mysterious periodic variations in the light from this object are caused by an orbiting body that periodically emits clouds of dust that occult the star.
Powell et al., 2021
“Follow-up speckle imaging determined that TIC 400799224 is actually two stars of similar brightness at 0farcs62 separation, forming a likely bound binary with projected separation of ∼300 au.”
For one thing, what they thought was a star is actually a binary system, with one star pulsating every 19.77 days. The erratic dimming is being caused by an object, probably a disintegrating exoplanet, that periodically emits clouds of dust. Beyond that, the astronomers can’t tell which star the dusty object is orbiting … a key bit of information that could explain the erratic dips in brightness.
“The cloud is also fairly optically thick, blocking up to 37% or 75% of the light from the host star, depending on the true host.”
A depiction of binary stars
According to the Center for Astrophysics, the quantity of dust emitted is quite large in relation to the size of the exoplanet – enough to cause a quick disintegration. Yet the observations show the object has not been reduced in size despite losing so much dust. That makes ‘Dusty’ unique.
“(TIC 400799224 ‘s) detailed properties differ in significant ways from the other objects listed in Table 1 and, therefore, TIC 400799224 may be in a category of its own.”
The team will continue to observe TIC 400799224 to determine what it is. Should Tabby be worried that the new dimming kid in town will take some of the spotlight astronomic spotlight away from her? Unless the astronomers think the dust is a Dyson sphere, she has nothing to worry about.
China Big Panic: Russia just gave its Navy hypersonic nuclear strike weapons and the target is not the US, it’s China
China Big Panic: Russia just gave its Navy hypersonic nuclear strike weapons and the target is not the US, it’s China
Russia has made a massive defence manoeuvre. The Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that the Russian Navy will be armed with hypersonic nuclear strike weapons and underwater nuclear drones. Putin has often spoken of Russia’s next-gen hypersonic missile weapons, which he has called “unequalled”.
These hypersonic missiles can hit any part of the world according to the Russian President. The Russian Navy plans to become a supreme naval power with these new generation arms and while it has generated a lot of fears in the United States due to anachronistic formulations of the Cold War-era, Moscow seems to be preparing itself against a more realistic threat posed by an expansionist China right in its backyard. From the Arctic to the South China Sea, Russia has a lot of interests to protect from China. Putin is thinking about how geopolitical equations will change in the medium-term and the long-term, while it will continue to share an “axis of convenience” with the Chinese Communist Party. In the medium-term, Russia is getting pulled into the Indo-Pacific by an increasingly assertive India, an old friend of Russia.
Russian policymakers continue to dismiss the Indo-Pacific as divisive and anti-China. At an official level, Russia claims to have nothing to do with the Indo-Pacific. But this official Russian stand is a mere eyewash at the best to keep China at bay. Russia has a lot to do with the Indo-Pacific as it shares a 4,500 kilometres-long Pacific coastline in the Russian Far East. Communist China has traditionally laid its eyes on the resource-rich Russian Far East.
In fact, recently Chinese wolf-warriors staked claim on the Russian Far East city- Vladivostok. India hasn’t let the opportunity go. New Delhi has been pushing a Chennai-Vladivostok sea route that passes through the South China Sea, which too China claims as its own. In this backdrop, the Indian envoy to Russia, D. B. Venkatesh Varma recently said that India wants Russia to be more involved in the Indo-Pacific to protect its own interests, amid the rising threat posed by China.
Red Light Over Farmingdale, New York Jan 3, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Red Light Over Farmingdale, New York Jan 3, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Jan 3, 2022
Location of sighting: Farmingdale, New York, USA Source: MUFON
Watch this raw footage as a lone orb moves across the sky and over New York. The object appears red and is moving slowly as if it were watching the people below. The sky is overcast and makes the object disappear faster as its moves off. Because of the overcast sky, we now know this object is below the clouds, not behind the clouds, thus rules out Venus, stars, satellites, and such. But as it moves overhead, its silence is awe striking. UFOs are not uncommon in New York, such as the one seen by John Lennon from his top floor apartment on August 23, 1974. Aliens love New York.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
For a short time it looked angelic shaped. I had noticed this orange light in the sky shortly after driving from the Farmingdale train station going south east to drop someone at their destination is when I first noticed and also verified with the passenger this was not flying craft we had ever seen. 5 minutes after dropping off the passenger I seen the same object in the sky so I decided to pull over and take a picture and video.
Below is John Lennon talking about his UFO sighting in New York in 1974.
