The ice in Antarctica has melted before
The ice in Antarctica has melted before
The ice sheet thickness and movement speed therefore vary a great deal over longer periods, and the mountain range further into the continent seems to be an important division between the dynamic coast and the ice sheet further towards the South Pole, which varies much less in thickness.
Sixty per cent of the world's fresh water is bound up in Antarctic ice sheets. Thirty million cubic kilometres of ice is perhaps a difficult number to grasp. But if absolutely all Antarctica's ice melted, the seas would rise by 58 metres on average.
"The ice sheet in East Antarctica stores enormous amounts of water. This means that this is the biggest possible source of future sea level rise - up to 53 meters if all of the East Antarctic ice melts - and is seen as the largest source of uncertainties in the future sea level adaptation planning," says Irina Rogozhina, an associate professor at the Department of Geography at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
Most melting/ice loss in Antarctica happens through ocean-driven melting of ice shelves and ice calving. This, in turn, leads to an acceleration of ice streams on land and a greater discharge of ice into the ocean, where it gets lost to melting/calving, she said.
This was also likely the cause of larger ice loss during warmer periods of the past. In Greenland, these two processes contribute about 65% of all ice loss.
But not all the ice needs to melt before it can have major consequences.
Researchers from NTNU were among a group of scientists who examined the ice in Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica. The results show that this ice sheet sector has varied a lot over time. This information is important as researchers try to learn more about the planet's climate and how it is changing.
Rogozhina's group studied the ice sheet in East Antarctica and a meltdown that took place a few thousand years ago. The results have been published in the Nature journal Communications Earth and Environment.

The researchers analysed the rocks for cosmogenic isotopes that can tell them how long it has been since the rocks were covered by ice.

The ice in the east lies on land The ice sheet in Antarctica is not evenly distributed or uniform. In the west, large parts of the ice sheet lie under sea level, down to a depth of 2,500 metres. This makes it very vulnerable to ocean warming. In contrast, much of the ice sheet in the east sits directly on land, above sea level, meaning it is less sensitive to the ocean's influence.
This ice sheet sector in East Antarctica was thinner in the past than it is now, and not particularly long ago either. In fact, it was thinner following the end of the last ice age, when massive ice sheets previously covered North America, northern Europe and southern South America. When these ice sheets melted, they raised the sea level by more than 100 metres.
"From the evidence we presented in our study, we concluded that the East Antarctic ice sheet in Queen Maud Land also melted rapidly along its margins between 9,000 to 5,000 years ago, in a period we call the mid-Holocene. At this time, many parts of the world experienced warmer-than-present summers," Rogozhina said.
"Although this kind of response by the East Antarctic ice sheet to the warmth during the Holocene is not completely unexpected, it is still difficult and worrisome to believe that the sluggish East Antarctic ice sheet can change so rapidly," she said.
It's difficult to find a simple, easy explanation for this behaviour, or to determine the exact timing when the melting took place, not least because the conditions in this part of the world are rather inhospitable at times.
But the researchers found a way to unravel this mystery.
Cosmic radiation changes rocks The research group examined rocks from various nunataks in Queen Maud Land for exposure to cosmic radiation.
"Nunataks are mountains that stick up through the ice. We have visited nunataks and taken samples," says Ola Fredin, a professor at NTNU's Department of Geosciences and Petroleum.
The researchers examine different isotopes, or variants, of elements such as chlorine, aluminium, beryllium and neon in rocks from the nunataks. With the help of cosmogenic isotopes, they can figure out how high the ice was over geological time in Queen Maud Land. Fredin compares this to using a dipstick to measure the level of engine oil in your car.
In this way, the researchers can say something about how long the rocks have been exposed to cosmic radiation. They can then also say something about how long it has been since the rocks have been under a protective layer of ice and thus have not absorbed any cosmic radiation.
For this, they use data from different areas and run a variety of computer simulations.
Rising seas and warmer water broke up the ice The researchers also believe that they are on track to find a reason why the ice sheet sector in East Antarctica thinned so much immediately after the end of the last ice age.
"We believe that the ice sheet became less stable due to higher, regional sea levels and warmer water rising from the ocean depths in the polar regions, penetrating under the ice margins and melting them from below. This leads to the break-up of large icebergs and accelerates the movement of ice from the land to the ocean, which in turn thins the inland section of the ice sheet. The process is similar to when a house on a hill slope loses its supporting foundation and starts sliding downhill," Rogozhina said.
In short, the less stable, rapidly flowing parts of the ice sheet in East Antarctica, which are called ice shelves and float on the ocean, were broken up more easily, which in turn led to the ice sheet becoming much thinner within a relatively short time, geologically speaking, or a few hundreds to thousands of years.

Thick ice is the most common along the coast Cosmic radiation can also help researchers figure out how common it is for ice to cover an area. The researchers have also investigated this.
The results show that it is most common for the ice in Queen Maud Land to be thick along the coast. But not further into the continent, where mountain peaks protrude through the ice and the land can be several thousand metres high.
"We found that the land masses along the coast of Queen Maud Land have been covered by ice between 75 and 97 per cent of the time during the last one million years," Fredin said.
He was part of another study, which has also had its results published in the Nature journal Communications Earth and Environment. This group examined rocks from several different areas in Queen Maud Land, and found great variations.
"In contrast to areas along the coast, which have been ice-covered most of the time, we find that mountain summits further into the continent have been ice-covered as little as 20 per cent of the time," Fredin said.
The ice sheet thickness and movement speed therefore vary a great deal over longer periods, and the mountain range further into the continent seems to be an important division between the dynamic coast and the ice sheet further towards the South Pole, which varies much less in thickness.
The Mysterious Kecksburg UFO and an Enigmatic Discovery on Mars
The Mysterious Kecksburg UFO and an Enigmatic Discovery on Mars
On December 9, 1965, something unusual fell from the sky and landed in the forest outside Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. Witnesses described it as an acorn-shaped metal object with peculiar markings. This unexplained event has captivated UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Meanwhile, an intriguing discovery on Mars has sparked further debate about extraterrestrial life and its potential connections to Earth.
A Strange Discovery on Mars
In 2021, a peculiar pair of long parallel lines leading to a half-buried disc on Mars caught the attention of researchers. The disc, estimated to be between 12 and 15 meters in diameter, featured a perfectly shaped crescent edge. Some speculated that it could be the remains of a crashed flying saucer, prompting questions about its origin and purpose.
Theories on Martian Civilizations and Alien Visitors
George Haas, director of The Cydonia Institute, suggests that ancient civilizations, such as the Cydonians, may have once thrived on Mars. He points to evidence of pyramidal structures and mound formations on the red planet that defy natural explanations. However, Haas believes that these civilizations vanished millions of years ago after a nuclear Armageddon.
Some speculate that the crashed UFO on Mars could be linked to the “Grays,” an alien species believed to have visited Earth for millennia. It has been suggested that these extraterrestrial beings might have experienced a similar crash in Roswell and could have lost control of their vehicle on Mars as well.
Experts Weigh In
Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy argues that the Martian disc’s smooth crescent shape could potentially be a heat shield from a failed probe. However, he also notes that the width and depth of the trench surrounding the object seem inconsistent with a heat shield crash.
NASA geologist Bob Anderson offers an alternative explanation for the mysterious formation, stating that it is located in Candor Chasm, an area with volcanic planes and a combination of sedimentary layers and volcanic lava flows. According to Anderson, the parallel lines are ancient geologic cracks, and the object’s perfect curve could be due to wind patterns.
Conclusion: Unexplained Phenomenon
Despite various theories, the Kecksburg UFO and the Martian disc remain unexplained phenomena. While Dr. Anderson’s theory offers a plausible explanation for the Martian formation, McCarthy’s argument about the object’s perfect curve raises questions. Until we can examine these findings more closely, the mysteries of the Kecksburg UFO and the Martian disc continue to captivate our imaginations and fuel debates about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Although thousands of abductions are reported annually, only a fraction of them are attributed to the so-called alien hybridization. Hybridization involves experiments with reproductive organs, leading many victims to believe they are being used to cross-breed with alien life forms. One such incredible case is of a UFO abductee named Geraldine Orozco, who claimed to have been abducted eight times and was part of a top-secret alien hybrid breeding program. She is a skilled professional in various fields, including being an Intuitive DNA Reprogrammer, Ascension Coach, Speaker, Expo Host, and Hypnotherapist.
In the TV series “UFO Witness,” former FBI agent Ben Hansen visited Orozco to investigate her abduction case. She revealed to him that she had been pregnant for eight weeks when she miscarried. A fetus should have been visibly present. But even though her doctor confirmed Orozco was having the signs of a miscarriage, there was no sign of the fetus.
Orozco told Hansen: “I would see the doctor and see different doctors over the years, they wouldn’t know how to explain what had happened to me. And of course, neither did I. So then I said, okay, maybe I can’t have children.” In 2013, she had a vivid experience and claimed to have been abducted and taken onboard a spaceship.
“I was sleeping, and all of a sudden I wake up because there was a bright light in my room. And as I look down at my phone, it says 3:30 in the morning. And part of me was a little bit afraid at that moment because I was thinking, is there someone outside my window? So I look outside my window and the light is so bright that it’s burning my eyes.”
She continued: “And the next thing I know, my entire body paralyzes. And I feel my body being taken through the window. I was brought to a craft, I was paralyzed. This being comes next to me, and I’m terrified at this point, but I can’t even scream.” Orozco described it feeling as if her body was being pulled apart.
Hansen then asked her to describe the alien. She recalled encountering six tall humanoids (typical Greys). “They are these grays they have these giant eyes. The Greys, also known as the Zeta Reticulans, are said to be tall, slender creatures with large eyes and gray skin,” Orozco explained.
Orozco claimed that the aliens introduced her to her 8 hybrid children and imparted intriguing knowledge. “This being is showing me these children. As I’m looking at these children and I see what they look like, they’re not all the way human. This gray, thin skin, a much bigger head, and these giant eyes that are so deep and so profound and so complex. It was just incredible. But what I recognized as I’m meeting the child is that it’s mine. It looks like me. It has something that is a part of me.”
Orozco had always wondered why she could not get pregnant, despite her and her partner’s efforts to conceive a child. She thought it was just a case of miscarriages. But one night, everything changed. She realized that her unborn children were not lost to miscarriages, but instead were taken from her womb and experimented on by extraterrestrial beings.
During her harrowing experience, she witnessed her unborn child being mutated with alien DNA, leaving her feeling helpless and confused. “As I’m seeing the child in front of me, I know that it’s mine, and I’m wanting to take care of them. And before I start to feel that, they immediately remove everything away from me. And then I’m opening my eyes, and I’m upside down on the end of my bed,” she explained.
Orozco’s experience was not a dream, but a real-life encounter with alien beings. She was abducted from her home in the early hours of the morning and taken aboard a spacecraft for experimentation. As she tried to piece together what had happened to her, she realized that this had been going on for years, and she was not alone. According to her, over a million women claim to have similar experiences.
This experience activated her psychic abilities and allowed her to access exalted multidimensional knowledge. However, upon returning to her normal life, she discovered that this experience had resulted in her becoming hypersensitive to the human electromagnetic field.
To learn more about what had happened to her, Orozco underwent regression sessions with hypnotherapists. During those sessions, she uncovered memories of repeated abductions since childhood and gained insight into the reasons behind her early abduction experiences.
Orozco was surprised to discover that she channeled information about the universe and ancient DNA alterations on planet Earth during those regressions. In November 2017, she underwent the second regression that delved deeper into each abduction experience to understand the hybridization program and how it operates among humans. During the session, she also learned about her own origins and discovered that she had participated in human hybridization, resulting in the birth of 24 hybrid children. (Source)
During her interview with Ben Hansen, Orozco shared with him her medical records and ultrasounds that provide physical evidence that strongly suggest her story is true.
Geraldine ultrasound shows a cyst that she claimed and the doctor said that the size of the cyst and the way that it developed was like somebody that had children.

She said that she had developed a cyst and the doctor said that the size of the cyst and the way that it developed was like somebody that had children. The cyst was a physical marker of her traumatic experiences, and it helped to confirm what had been happening to her. Despite this, no medical explanation could be found for the mysterious disappearance of her fetuses.
Orozco’s claim of an alien-hybridization program is not surprising as John Ramirez, a former CIA official said that the CIA was interested in the hybridization of humans, and he was told by two top officials (their names are classified) that they discovered an alien DNA in the human genome. (Click here to read the full article)
“I give credence to the fact that Roswell actually happened. I will believe personally that bodies were recovered and if these bodies were examined and then their DNA was examined and they know what that alien genome looks like and they look at humans and they can identify the same sequences in the human genome. I think that was what led them to believe that there’s a hybridization of humans and they further said in this one-day symposium that… they have not only alien DNA but enhanced alien DNA.”
Moreover, Ramirez mentioned in an interview with Project Unity that humans are hybrids. He suggested that Elizondo refrains from using the term “hybridization,” but the Pentagon staff expects him to do so eventually. On the “Theories of Everything” podcast, Lue Elizondo, former Director of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) explored the idea that non-human intelligence may have been interacting with humans for an extended period. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

This Footage comes with no audio and was captured from the cockpit of this plane from an unknown location but when i get the information i will share it with you guys. In the footage we get a clear view of this object and this looks damn good. It seem to be a saucer shape craft. Statement as follows "Model Valentina Rueda posted a video from a private plane on her Instagram, which shows an unusual phenomenon. Flying at an altitude of 6 km with a remote control, she noticed a strange object, which prompted them to maneuver and record the object. The observation took place on April 4, 2023. The footage shows a strange-shaped object passing by the plane" Many thanks to Valentina Rueda Vélez for filming this
Helicopters on Mars! NASA explains what's next after Ingenuity's success
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has been a huge success on the Red Planet with flight number 50 on the horizon. Learn what's next for the little 4-pound chopper and about future helicopters that NASA is planning to send to the Red Planet.

NASA's Martian Helicopter Has Been Very Busy
Around three years ago NASA launched the Ingenuity Helicopter which eventually touched down on Mars early the next year. Since 2021, NASA has been consistently flying the helicopter trying new and more ambitious routes each time. Just yesterday on the 5th, Ingenuity was scheduled for its 50th flight, expected to travel more than 1000 feet or around 306 meters in total.
The whole purpose of this helicopter was to determine if powered, controlled flight at the Red Planet was possible. If this were the case, it would open up a lot of future opportunities as NASA sets its sights on sending humans to the planet. In the over 2 years Ingenuity has been on the surface, not only has it shown that powered flight is possible, but it also has given the agency some new ideas.
What makes its tests so impressive is the fact that flight at Mars is extremely challenging because the Red Planet has significantly lower gravity and a very thin atmosphere. Here I will go more in-depth into the historic 50th flight, what exactly Ingenuity has been up to, why its results are so important, and more.
NASA Develops Flying Saucers. Literally [NIAC 2023]
There's an effect called photophoretic propulsion. You could have seen it in a Crookes radiometer. One of the NIAC awards of 2023 was granted to a team that hopes to use this effect to develop a propulsion system. This can allow flying in altitudes nothing else can fly and possibly even explore other worlds.
Astronomers Discover A Water Reservoir Floating In Space That Is Equivalent To 140 Trillion Times All The Water In The Earth’s Ocean
Astronomers Discover A Water Reservoir Floating In Space That Is Equivalent To 140 Trillion Times All The Water In The Earth’s Ocean
The Milky Way contains 4,000 times more water than the universe’s greatest water resource, which is the size of 140 trillion seas and is hidden under a distant supermassive black hole.
Twelve billion light-years distant, where it appears as vapor spread across hundreds of light-years, this amount of water was found by two teams of astronomers.
The reservoir was found in a quasar’s gaseous region, a luminous, compact area at the center of a galaxy propelled by a black hole. This discovery shows that water could have existed from the beginning of the universe throughout the whole cosmos.
Although specialists are not surprised by this, water has never been found this far out. This amount of water is thought to have existed when the universe was just 1.6 billion years old because it took the light from the quasar, namely the APM 08279+5255 quasar in the constellation Lynx, 12 billion years to reach Earth.
The Plateau de Bure Interferometer in the French Alps was utilized by one group, while the Z-Spec equipment at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory in Hawaii was employed by the other.
The identification of trace gases (or enormous reservoirs of water vapor) in the early universe is made possible by these sensors’ ability to detect millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
Researchers have the information they required to determine the enormous scale of the reservoir thanks to the finding of several spectral signatures of water in the quasar.
On September 9, 2021, an astronomer captured something unusual in space through his telescope. The author of the video said that for the first time he recorded something huge that he could not explain…
As the US continues to speculate about spy balloons, drones and aliens, a ChuckAstrophotography footage surfaced this week showing something huge and very interesting.
The community of ufologists is currently maintaining an intense debate on UFO sightings but with a particular characteristic:
They would not be the classic small flying saucers, but we are talking about large ships, what we know as “supply ships.”
The graphic example they give would be the ships that come to mind when we think of The War of the Worlds or Independence Day.
“All over the world they are detecting a phenomenon of the appearance of ships of extraordinary dimensions.” About the mysterious record of the astrophotographer, he wonders:
“Are these geosynchronous satellite objects? But then why are there two of them in the same place? And if they’re locked in place, why aren’t they stretched out of my 15 second exposure?”
“Or could it be that these objects are two UFOs that are flying at high speed through space? I saw these objects while capturing Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) and Ghost Bush Star Cluster (NGC 6939).”
“The images in the video are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and the objects appear to be moving from west to east. They appeared just below the Ghost Bush star cluster”, explains the astronomer.
Other skygazers have also photographed huge alien craft flying through space at high speed, especially near the Orion Nebula.

Look at the UFO in the above screenshot, from the first part of the video. Its low. Look at the below screenshot at the UFO, its much higher. This is proof the UFO is rising, moving when seen! Screenshots have been focused and added contrast.
Date of sighting: April 5, 2023
Location of sighting: Coos Bay, Oregon, USA

Now this is interesting, hunters went out in search for prey when they encountered a glowing cube UFO. The cube is clearly lower in the beginning of the video and then much higher in at the end of the video. I use two specific bushes on the ground to get the right perspective and distance. Compounded with the fact they all forgot about the UFO, as if the UFO itself erased the person short term memory. But they found the video and remembered it. When I had a UFO of dozens of 747 size UFOs (many soldiers in the parking lot stared upward in silence at them for 15 minutes) sighting in Rapid City, South Dakota in the USAF back in 1990, I too forgot for a few days...oddly, not thinking about it at all, later realizing the memory was hidden from me by the UFOs themselves. Short term memory can be altered using alien technology. Clearly aliens use it when UFOs are seen but not wanting to be seen.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
IT WAS A STRANGE CUBE FLOATING IN THE AIR. I was with 3 friends. We were out hunting. We walked up into a clear cut and there it was. Maybe 300 feet away and about 50 feet off the ground. Strangely none of us remembered this. It wasn't until I was moving some random video clips did I discover it. I have the video. Again, very oddly, once we observed this cube for awhile the 3 of us just turned and left. As it was simply of no more interest to us. How would do that? Just turn and walk away from a UFO.

This just out today, I translated and wrote the subtitles in English myself. China vessels crossed into Taiwan territory waters and was warned off. China is doing a military exercise to punish Taiwan president for going to America and other countries to drum up support and friendship. So yesterday alone, Sat April 8th, 71 China military jets and 9 China military ships were inside Taiwan territory. Very soon, Taiwan will be attacked and China will use a fake military drill to do it with. If Taiwan is attacked, this channel will probably go silent, since all communications would be cut immediacy upon China attack in order for them to have a chance at success. Plz support Taiwan, we exist because the world cares to help keep us free. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
March 2023 has been a month of intriguing UFO sightings, as numerous videos have emerged, showcasing strange aerial phenomena and mysterious objects in the sky. The compilation video “Best UFOs of March 2023” highlights some of the most compelling sightings from around the world.
One of the most talked-about incidents occurred in Sunrise, Florida, where three lights were seen forming an equilateral triangle before separating. This sighting was captured by multiple witnesses, adding to its credibility.
Another fascinating sighting took place in the Netherlands, where a polygonal-shaped craft was recorded floating through the sky. The witness managed to capture a few seconds of clear footage before encountering camera issues.
A particularly ominous sound was also recorded in the early hours of the morning, which the original poster compared to a dragon-like roar. The origin of the sound remains unexplained, adding to the enigmatic nature of these encounters.
In Austria, a video captured two UFOs merging and then fading into the sky, leaving viewers baffled and searching for explanations. Additionally, a slow-moving sphere was recorded floating above a man walking his dog, leaving him in awe of the mysterious object.
These sightings have generated significant interest and discussion within the UFO community, with viewers eagerly speculating about the possible origins of these mysterious objects. As more footage and witness accounts emerge, the search for answers continues.

Het is waarschijnlijk het resultaat van een flinke botsing tussen meerdere, ruziënde superzware zwarte gaten. En het daardoor ontstane sterrenspoor is volgens onderzoekers ‘verbazingwekkend en bijzonder ongebruikelijk’.
Astronoom Pieter van Dokkum bestudeerde beelden van ruimtetelescoop Hubble, op zoek naar bolvormige sterrenhopen in een nabij dwergstelsel, toen zijn oog ineens op een ‘krasje’ viel. “Ik zag een kleine streep op de foto,” herinnert Van Dokkum zich. “Mijn eerste ingeving was dat dit waarschijnlijk een kosmische straal was. Maar toen we kosmische straling weg filterden, zat het krasje er nog steeds. Het leek niet op iets dat we ooit eerder hadden gezien.”
Sterrenspoor Omdat het zo raar was, besloot Van Dokkum samen met zijn collega’s de gekke lichtstreep met behulp van het Keck-observatorium nader te bestuderen. En uit die vervolgwaarnemingen blijkt dat het krasje in werkelijkheid een maar liefst 200.000 lichtjaar lange slinger vol jonge, blauwe sterren vertegenwoordigt. “Dit sterrenspoor is verbazingwekkend, heel, heel helder en bijzonder ongebruikelijk,” aldus Van Do.kkum
De betreffende foto van Hubble, waarop een vreemd lichtspoor te zien is. Latere spectroscopische waarnemingen onthullen dat het een 200.000 lichtjaar lange slinger vol sterren is. Linksonder is een superzwaar zwart gat te zien. Het zwarte gat werd uit het sterrenstelsel, rechtsboven in beeld, geworpen. Deze ongewone gebeurtenis vond plaats toen het universum ongeveer de helft van zijn huidige leeftijd had. Afbeelding: NASA, ESA, Pieter van Dokkum (Yale), Joseph DePasquale (STScI)
De vraag is natuurlijk hoe deze lange slinger vol sterren is ontstaan. De onderzoekers vermoeden dat het sterrenspoor zich uitstrekt tussen een monsterlijk zwart gat en het sterrenstelsel waaruit dit zwarte gat is weggeslingerd. Waarschijnlijk perst het zwarte gat gas samen, wat leidt tot de geboorte van sterren. “We denken dat we het kielzog zien achter het zwarte gat, waar het gas afkoelt en sterren worden gevormd,” vermoedt Van Dokkum. “Wat we zien is de nasleep. Vergelijkbaar met het kielzog achter een schip, zien we hier het kielzog achter het zwarte gat.” De slinger moet bijzonder veel pasgeboren sterren bevatten, gezien het feit dat het bijna half zo helder is als het stelsel waarmee het verbonden is.
Zwart gat Kortom, het zwarte gat, met een massa van maar liefst 20 miljoen zonnen, heeft een 200.000 lichtjaar lang sterrenspoor achtergelaten, tweemaal de diameter van ons Melkwegstelsel. Het is een merkwaardig gezicht. Zwarte gaten staan doorgaans bekend als vraatzuchtige eters, die zichzelf volproppen met gas, stof en alles wat in hun greep komt. Maar in plaats van sterren op te slokken, zoals een kosmische Pac-Man, brengt het zwarte gat juist stervorming op gang. Het zwarte gat heeft zoveel haast, dat het niet eens de tijd heeft voor een snack. Iets soortgelijks is nog nooit in het universum gezien.

Hoe dit vreemde tafereel is ontstaan? De onderzoekers vermoeden dat dit waarschijnlijk het resultaat is van een uiterst zeldzaam en bizar potje ‘galactisch biljart’ tussen drie enorme zwarte gaten, die met elkaar in botsing zijn gekomen. De eerste twee sterrenstelsels smolten ongeveer 50 miljoen jaar geleden samen, zo luidt de theorie. Dit bracht de twee zwarte gaten uit deze stelsels samen, waardoor ze om elkaar heen begonnen te wentelen. Vervolgens verscheen er een derde sterrenstelsel met zijn eigen superzware zwarte gat op het toneel. En zoals we allemaal weten: ‘twee is gezelschap en drie is een menigte’.

Weggeslingerd Er ontstond een chaotische en onstabiele situatie. Eén van de zwarte gaten delfde het onderspit en werd pardoes uit het gaststelsel geslingerd. Het originele, binaire paartje is mogelijk intact gebleven, of de indringer heeft mogelijk één van de twee andere zwarte gaten vervangen en de vorige metgezel uit het stelsel gegooid. Terwijl het weggeslingerde zwarte gat de ene kant op vloog, schoten de andere twee in tegenovergestelde richting weg. En dat brengt ons weer bij het begin.
Vervolgonderzoek De vondst van het weggeslingerde zwart gat dat een spoor van sterren creëert, is buitengewoon. De onderzoekers laten het onderwerp dan ook nog niet los. Vervolgwaarnemingen met ruimtetelescoop James Webb en het Chandra X-ray observatory liggen alweer in het verschiet, om zo de geopperde theorie over het zwarte gat te bevestigen of te ontkrachten.
Bovendien gaat de zoektocht naar andere vreemde ‘krasjes’ door. De hoop is daarbij gevestigd op NASA’s aanstaande Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. De onderzoekers hopen dat er op deze beelden meer zeldzame ‘sterstrepen’ zullen verschijnen, waardoor we meer over deze bizarre fenomenen te weten kunnen komen.
Virtually all astronomers and cosmologists agree the universe began with a “big bang” — a tremendously powerful genesis of space-time that sent matter and energy reeling outward.
BIG-TIME THEORY. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) confirmed the Big Bang theory. The CMB’s clumpiness gives astronomers evidence for theories ranging from what our universe’s contents are to how modern structure formed.
Astronomy: Roen Kelly
The evidence is clear, ranging from the underpinnings of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, to the detection of the cosmic microwave background by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson in the 1960s, to the confirmation of ripples in the fabric of ancient space-time from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite in 1992. But the devil is in the details, and that’s where figuring out how Big Bang cosmology really works gets interesting.
The Big Bang model is typically broken down into a few key eras and events. Standard cosmology, the set of ideas that are most reliable in helping decipher the universe’s history, applies from the present time back to about a hundredth of second after the Big Bang. But before then, particle physics and quantum cosmology ruled the universe.
When the Big Bang occurred, matter, energy, space, and time were all formed, and the universe was infinitely dense and incredibly hot. The often-asked question “What came before the Big Bang?” is outside the realm of science because it can’t be answered by scientific means. In fact, science says little about the way the universe behaved until some 10–43 second after the Big Bang, when the Grand Unification Epoch began (and lasted only until about 10–35 second). Matter and energy were interchangeable and in equilibrium during this period, and the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism were all equivalent.
HIGH-RES ECHO. Evidence for the Big Bang comes from detailed data from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellites. In 1992, COBE produced the first good CMB map (top); nine years later, WMAP followed with a far-more detailed version.
NASA/WMAP Science Tea
The universe cooled rapidly as it blew outward, however, and by 10–35 second after the Big Bang, the epoch of inflation occurred, enlarging the universe by a factor of 1050 in only 10–34 second. During this wild period, cosmic strings, monopoles, and other exotic species likely came to be. As sensational as inflation sounds, it explains several observations that would otherwise be difficult to reconcile. After inflating, the universe slowed down its expansion rate but continued to grow, as it does still. It also cooled significantly, allowing for the formation of matter — first neutrinos, electrons, quarks, and photons, followed by protons and neutrons. Likewise, antiparticles were produced in abundance, carrying the opposite charge of their corresponding particles (positrons along with electrons, for example).
As time went on and particles’ rest-mass energy was greater than the thermal energy of the universe, many were annihilated with their partners, producing gamma rays in the process. As more time crept by, these annihilations left an excess of ordinary matter over antimatter.
Chemistry has its roots deep in the history of the universe. At a key moment about one second after the Big Bang, nucleosynthesis took place and created deuterium along with the light elements helium and lithium. After some 10,000 years, the temperature of the universe cooled to the point where massive particles contributed more to the universe’s overall energy density than light and other radiation, which had dominated until then. This turned on gravity as a key player, and the little irregularities in the density of matter were magnified into structures as the universe expanded.
COSMIC DISCOVERY. Robert Wilson (left) and Arno Penzias unexpectedly discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation with this horn-shaped antenna.

The relic radiation of the Big Bang decoupled (picture heavy traffic suddenly clearing) nearly 400,000 years later, creating the resonant echo of radiation observed by Penzias and Wilson with their radio telescope. This decoupling moment witnessed the universe changing from opaque to transparent. Matter and radiation were finally separate.
Observational astronomers consider much of the history of the early universe the province of particle physicists, describing what happened up to the formation of galaxies, stars, and black holes as “a lot of messy physics.” They are more interested in how the first astronomical objects, the large-scale inhabitants of the universe, came to be about 1 billion years after the Big Bang. But before these astronomers can gain a clear picture of that process, they need to consider the role of the wild card — dark matter.
Did You Know That Baboons Were Trained in Ancient Egypt to Catch Criminals?
Did You Know That Baboons Were Trained in Ancient Egypt to Catch Criminals?
The ancient Egyptians were renowned for their worship of animals, and one of these was the baboon. In ancient Egyptian mythology, baboons are best known for their association with Thoth, the god of wisdom. In addition to their role in mythology, baboons also had a place in the society of ancient Egypt. They are commonly known to have been kept as pets, and mummified remains of these creatures have been discovered by archaeologists. In addition, baboons (or monkeys) have also been shown in Egyptian art to be participating in various human activities, including dancing and playing musical instruments, picking fruit, making wine and beer, and even catching criminals.
During the Old Kingdom, Hamadryas baboons ( P. hamadryas ) and olive baboons ( P. anubis ) could still be found in the southern parts of Upper Egypt. By the time of the Middle Kingdom, however, it is likely that these animals were no longer indigenous to Egypt. During the New Kingdom, there is evidence that baboons were being imported from the south, either from Nubia, or from the land of Punt.
During the Pre-Dynastic period , a certain god by the name of Baba / Babi was worshipped. The name of this god may be translated as ‘Bull of the Baboons’, and it was depicted as a baboon. It has been postulated that this may be the origin of the word ‘baboon’ itself. By the time of the Old Kingdom, however, the baboon became connected with Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom. The association between the baboon and the god of wisdom was made perhaps because the former was perceived to be an intelligent animal.
As Thoth was the patron god of scribes, baboons, being his sacred animal, have often been depicted alongside people of this profession. Thoth was also believed to be a lunar god, and because of that, baboons are sometimes depicted with a crescent moon on their heads. This, in turn, may have led to the association of the baboon with another moon god, Khonsu. This is evident at the Temple of Khonsu in Thebes, where statues of the god in his baboon form can be found in front of the temple complex.

Yet another god linked with baboons is Re, the sun god. The ancient Egyptians observed that baboons would bark at the rising sun, and this was turned into images of baboons with raised arms in the act of worshipping the sun. Lastly, one of the Four Sons of Horus, Hapy, is believed to have had a baboon head. This god was in charge of protecting the lungs of deceased individuals.

As sacred animals, baboons were kept in temples, and cared for by their priests. Nevertheless, they were also kept as pets by those who could afford them, though for largely ritualistic purposes. Still, such pets were not always treated well by their owners. In Hierakonpolis, for instance, archaeologists have discovered a cemetery with the remains of various animals, including baboons, that were once kept as pets. The bones of the baboons suggest that they had been beaten repeatedly whilst they were alive. This cemetery is about 5000 years old, and dates to the end of the Pre-Dynastic period / the beginning of the Early Dynastic period. Therefore, it has been suggested that at this point of time, the ancient Egyptians were only beginning to learn how to keep animals as pets, and the beatings were meant to keep the baboons in line. As the Egyptians became better handlers, fewer beatings were administered to their pets, as seen in the remains of baboons from later periods.
In some works of ancient Egyptian art, baboons (or monkeys) are shown engaging in human activities. Some of these, like harvesting fruits from tall trees, could be plausible. In some parts of the world, monkeys are known to be trained to harvest fruits. In a tomb from the 12th Dynasty, baboons are even shown to be competing with humans for the collection of fruit.
Other baboon jobs, such as helping with alcohol production or rigging boats, seem a little more fantastical. Nevertheless, given that baboons were considered to be intelligent animals, it would not then be too surprising if the ancient Egyptians imagined baboons could do such activities.

Researchers have warned of the potential risks to humans posed by contact with extraterrestrial beings.
Even if the aliens are not hostile, the ʋery fact of contact with an extraterrestrial ciʋilization can lead to conflicts on Earth.
Researchers around the world are now looking for a signal froм representatiʋes of extraterrestrial intelligence. And perhaps huмanity will Ƅe aƄle to estaƄlish contact with aliens in the future. But will this lead to dangerous consequences?

With a mass of around three-quarters of our Sun crammed into a ball that could sit comfortably inside Manhattan, the compact object XMMU J173203.3-344518 is certainly remarkable. Weird, even. Maybe bizarre
But is it strange? A new study by astrophysicists from the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of ABC in Brazil confirms this mind-blowingly dense blob of star stuff might be strange indeed, but perhaps not in the way you might think.
Last year, researchers from the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Tübingen in Germany reassessed the distance between us and the tiny corpse of a dead star spinning away inside the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347.
A mere 8,150 light-years away, the revised proximity fell short of the previous estimate of roughly 10,000 light-years. The new distance required a recalculation of the compact object's characteristics, particularly its size and mass.
Which is where things got a little exciting.
When stars of a certain mass run out of the kind of fuel their gravity can conveniently crush the daylights out of, they collapse in a cosmic thunderclap of heat and electromagnetism that blows away a proportion of their outer layers.
All that's left is an object so dense its atoms are squeezed cheek to jowl. Deep inside its core, electrons are crammed into their nuclei, forcing protons to lose their charge and transform into neutrons. Congratulations, it's a newborn neutron star.
If there's enough mass, all of that added gravity overcomes critical nuclear forces to crunch matter into something unimaginable, creating a black hole instead. Too little mass, though, and atoms remain friendly neighbors inside what's known as a white dwarf.
That lower mass limit for a neutron star is thought to be just over one solar mass. The lightest detected so far is just 1.17 times the mass of the Sun.
At 77 percent of a solar mass, XMMU J173203.3-344518 isn't merely record-breaking; it's downright confusing. Neutron stars have no business being so petite.
Which implies it might not be a neutron star at all. Speculating it was instead an object called a strange star – consisting mainly of particles known as strange quarks – the researchers left their conclusions for other researchers to kick around.
Picking up where that last study left off, this new investigation returned to the unusually small compact object within HESS J1731-347 and double-checked its mass, radius, and surface temperature.
Comparing their results with strange matter equations and speculative models for their creation in supernovae, the team agreed this weird little object still has all of the hallmarks of a hypothetical strange star.
Quarks are fundamental particles that group in trios to create baryons. Two of the better-known examples of these groups are the nuclear particles protons and neutrons.
Concentrate enough energy in any one spot, and those bundles of quarky goodness can overcome the forces that bind them to arrange into something less structured. Put this hot soup under enough pressure, and its quarks might present as a new form of matter altogether called, unsurprisingly, quark matter.
Quarks happen to come in a variety of forms or flavors. 'Up' and 'down' flavors mix and match to form protons and neutrons. With sufficient pressure, down quarks can transform into up quarks, which in turn can switch into another flavor – a strange quark.
Just how a super compact object made mostly of strange quarks emerges from a supernova isn't clear yet, though some models suggest quark matter typically evolved right from the start of the collapse.
Under fairly unique conditions, something causes this matter to dominate, releasing even more energy in the collapse to shake off more mass than usual, leaving that surplus of quarks behind.
Returning to the latest study, its revised estimates of XMMU J173203.3-344518's age and surface temperature, along with the object's radius and tiny mass, are consistent with cooling conditions that hint at its strange composition.
That doesn't mean something more 'normal' can be ruled out. It does give the astronomical community even more reason to turn their telescopes towards XMMU J173203.3-344518 in consideration of it being a landmark case.
As the authors argue, "It is premature to claim any stronger conclusion, although this is an important case and other detections could add to the whole picture."

Six Ancient Maps that should not exist according to mainstream Scholars
Six Ancient Maps that should not exist according to mainstream Scholars
Numerous maps have been discovered throughout history that even today remain as an enigma to scholars and skeptics. While most of us are familiar with the work of Piri Reis and his maps, he isn’t the only one to have created charts that remain a mystery to history.
Maps like the one by Piri Reis have been validated by scholars who remain baffled and cannot explain their precision and level of detail. Some of them were created as if somehow, someone was able to see the land from the air before drawing the charts… But remember, some of these maps are thousands of years old, and one, in particular, is even older.
As you go through all of these maps you have to ask yourself just how were these maps made? How is it possible that they display features that were unknown to man according to mainstream history…?
We start off with one of the most enigmatic maps ever discovered…
1. The map of the Creator
The Dashka stone or Map of the Creator is, in fact, a giant stone tablet of unknown origin, discovered in the village of Chandra in Bashkortostan, Russian Federation. What is particularly interesting about this map is its age. According to researchers, the Dashka Stone is believed to be 120 million years old and is a highly detailed map of a specific area of the Ural Mountains, Bashkiria, which has not changed significantly in millions of years. This ancient map is depicted on a scale 1: 1.1 km.
2. The Piri Reis Map
Another incredible map that according to many should not exist. The Piri Reis map is supposedly a collection of even older maps, displaying the correct coastline of Antarctica as it was under the ice. The map was composed around 1520 and in addition to displaying Antarctica without ice, it accurately depictsthe geography of the American Continent with such a precision that it looks as if it was put together with the aid of aerial photography. The perfection and details displayed on the map have been the subject of debate for years among scholars who cannot understand nor explain how this map even exists.
Interestingly, this map was examined by the US Hydrographic Office of the Navy, where its authenticity was confirmed. The map was proven genuine and is so accurate that it was purportedly used to correct errors in some modern maps. The geographical information contained in the map indicates that some of its source material date back more than 5,000 years.
The US Airforce was contacted in 1960 byProfessor Charles Hapgood, of Keene College who asked them to review the map and its details. This was their response:

REPLY TO ATTN OF: RTC
6, JULY, 1960
SUBJECT: ADMIRAL PIRI REIS WORLD MAP
TO: PROF. CHARLES H. HAPGOOD KEENE TEACHERS COLLEGE KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR PROFESSOR HAPGOOD,
YOUR REQUEST FOR EVALUATION OF CERTAIN UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PIRI REIS WORLD MAP OF 1513 BY THIS ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED.
THE CLAIM THAT THE LOWER PART OF THE MAP PORTRAYS THE PRINCESS MARTHA COAST OF QUEEN MAUD LAND ANTARCTIC, AND THE PALMER PENINSULA IS REASONABLE. WE FIND THAT THIS IS THE MOST LOGICAL AND IN ALL PROBABILITY THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION OF THE MAP.
THE GEOGRAPHICAL DETAIL SHOWN IN THE LOWER PART OF THE MAP AGREES VERY REMARKABLY WITH THE RESULTS OF THE SEISMIC PROFILE MADE ACROSS THE TOP OF THE ICE CAP BY THE SWEDISH-BRITISH-NORWEGIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION OF 1949.
THIS INDICATES THE COASTLINE HAD BEEN MAPPEDBEFOREIT WAS COVERED BY THE ICE-CAP.
THE ICE-CAP IN THIS REGION IS NOW ABOUT A MILE THICK. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE DATA ON THIS MAP CAN BE RECONCILED WITH THE SUPPOSED STATE OF GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE IN 1513.
Shortly after, another interesting letter was sent by the USAF:

MR. CHARLES H. HAPGOOD KEENE TEACHERS COLLEGE KEENE, N.H.
DEAR PROFESSOR HAPGOOD:
IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE MAPS OF ANCIENT ORIGIN. THE PIRI REIS (1513) AND ORONTEUS FINEAUS [SIC] (1531) MAPS SENT TO US BY YOU, PRESENTED A DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGE, FOR IT WAS NOT READILY CONCEIVABLE THAT THEY COULD BE SO ACCURATE WITHOUT BEING FORGED. WITH ADDED ENTHUSIASM WE ACCEPTED THIS CHALLENGE AND HAVE EXPENDED MANY OFF DUTY HOURS EVALUATING YOUR MANUSCRIPT AND THE ABOVE MAPS. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT BOTH OF THESE MAPS WERE COMPILED FROM ACCURATE ORIGINAL SOURCE MAPS, IRRESPECTIVE OF DATES. THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF OUR FINDINGS:
The solution of the portolano projection used by Admiral Piri Reis, developed by your class in Anthropology, must be very nearly correct; for when known geographical locations are checked in relationship to the grid computed by Mr. Richard W. Strachan (MIT), there is remarkably close agreement. Piri Reis’ use of the portolano projection (centered on Syene, Egypt) was an excellent choice, for it is a developable surface that would permit the relative size and shape of the earth (at that latitude) to be retained. It is our opinion that those who compiled the original map had an excellent knowledge of the continents covered by this map.
As stated by Colonel Harold Z. Ohlmeyer in his letter (July 6, 1960) to you, the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Laud, Antarctica, appears to be truly represented on the southern sector of the Piri Reis map. The agreement of the Piri Reis Map with the seismic profile of this area made by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Expedition of 1949, supported by your solution of the grid, places beyond a reasonable doubt the conclusion that the original source maps must have been made before the present Antarctic ice cap covered the Queen Maud Land coasts.
It is our opinion that the accuracy of the cartographic features shown in the Oronteus Fineaus [sic] Map (1531) suggests, beyond a doubt, that it also was compiled from accurate source maps of Antarctica, but in this case of the entire continent. Close examination has proved the original source maps must have been compiled at a time when the land mass and inland waterways of the continent were relatively free of ice. This conclusion is further supported by a comparison of the Oronteus Fineaus [sic] Map with the results obtained by International Geophysical Year teams in their measurements of the subglacial topgraphy. The comparison also suggests that the original source maps (compiled in remote antiquity) were prepared when Antarctica was presumably free of ice. The Cordiform Projection used by Oronteus Fineaus [sic] suggests the use of advanced mathematics. Further, the shape given to the Antarctic continent suggests the possibility, if not the probability, that the original source maps were compiled on a stereographic or gnomic type of projection (involving the use of spherical trigonometry).
We are convinced that the findings made by you and your associates are valid, and that they raise extremely important questions affecting geology and ancient history, questions which certainly require further investigation.
WE THANK YOU FOR EXTENDING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY OF THESE MAPS. THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS AND AIRMEN VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME TO ASSIST CAPTAIN LORENZO W. BURROUGHS IN THIS EVALUATION: CAPTAIN RICHARD E. COVAULT, CWO HOWARD D. MINOR, MSGT CLIFTON M. DOVER, MSGT DAVID C. CARTER, TSGT JAMES H. HOOD, SSGT JAMES L. CARROLL, AND A1C DON R. VANCE.

This incredible map that predates the Piri Reis map outlines the coast of modern-day Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, and Germany. In addition to that, the Zeno maps just happen to include the exact longitude and latitude of a number of islands. Why is this important? Well, it is because in order to determine longitude you would need to use a chronometer, a device that was invented in 1765. Even more incredibly, the Zeno Map appear to depict the topography of modern-day Greenland free of glaciers which means that someone had to have seen Greenland prior to the ice age. This map is one of the most enigmatic discoveries which make you question nearly everything you have been told about history as we know it.
But there are more maps that are equally shocking as the ones mentioned above
4. Iehudi Ibn ben Zara map
Drawn somewhere around 1487, the Iehudi Ibn ben Zara map shows certain regions of Britain covered in Glaciers. The map also displays islands in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. These islands exist still today, only underwater.
5. Hamy King Char
Another incredible map drawn in 1502 shows northern Siberian Rivers emptying into the Arctic Ocean. This enigmatic chart happens to depict the ancient Suez Canal and numerous Asian Islands that are now joined to land.
6. The King Jaime World Chart
Another map that is completely baffling is the King Jaime World Chart which depicts the Sahara desert as a fertile land with huge lakes, rivers, and cities. We know that in the distant past, the Sahara was one of the most fertile regions on Earth.
As you can see, there are several maps that point towards a very different story about the past of mankind than what mainstream books are telling us.
The above-mentioned maps are evidence that suggest many things. First of all, it would mean that in the distant past, somehow, someone organized a giant effort to perform a global survey of our planet. The above-mentioned maps are most likely result of that survey. Ancient mankind most likely used advanced instruments that allowed them to measure latitude and longitude thousands of years ago. This points to the existence of know lost advanced ancient technology. In addition to the instruments and efforts, it is very likely that ‘prehistoric people’ were much more advanced than what mainstream scholars believe. These ancient peoples used sophisticated formulas of trigonometry and mathematical measurements which allowed them to accurately depict, on maps, certain areas of our planet. But perhaps what is most important of all of the above, is the fact that ancient mankind knew, thousands of years ago the correct shape and size of planet Earth.

The Forgotten UFO Files: Revelations from Colonel Wendelle Stevens’ Hidden Archive
The Forgotten UFO Files: Revelations from Colonel Wendelle Stevens’ Hidden Archive
The world of UFO enthusiasts has been abuzz after the recent discovery of long-lost photographs of a supposed flying saucer with an F117 stealth aircraft, taken in Nevada in 1981. These eight astonishing photos have surfaced in our Facebook group called “Latest UFO Sightings,” thanks to the efforts of a man named Dustin Schutta, who also host a podcast calledFlying Chariots The Rise. The origin of these images is a fascinating tale of intrigue, mystery, and the pursuit of truth.
Schutta acquired the photographs from the archives of the late Colonel Wendelle Stevens, a highly respected and renowned figure in the world of UFO research. Stevens, born in 1923, was a decorated World War II veteran and retired US Air Force pilot. His military career saw him serve in various capacities, including as a pilot, communications officer, and intelligence officer.
Colonel Wendelle Stevens
After retiring from the military, Stevens dedicated his life to UFO research, amassing an extensive collection of over 4,000 UFO photographs and investigating hundreds of sightings. He authored several books, including the famous “UFO Contact” series, and was considered one of the foremost experts on UFO phenomena at the time of his death in 2010.
After Stevens’ passing, a close associate named John Hughes took responsibility for maintaining the storage locker containing the late colonel’s vast collection of UFO material. Tragically, Hughes passed away in February 2018, and the locker was eventually acquired by a single bidder. The contents were subsequently transferred to Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah, which began auctioning off pieces from the archive.
Dustin Schutta happened upon this treasure trove of UFO history in 2022 and was fortunate enough to win several bids for Stevens’ photographs. Among these were the now-famous images of the flying saucer and F117 stealth aircraft, which have reignited interest in the UFO phenomenon and Colonel Wendelle Stevens’ remarkable legacy.
The photos raise several questions and offer potential new insights into the UFO phenomenon. Were these images taken during a secret military test, or is this evidence of extraterrestrial visitation? Why did these images remain hidden for so long, and what other mysteries lie within Colonel Stevens’ archives?
As enthusiasts continue to scrutinize the newly discovered images, it is clear that Colonel Wendelle Stevens’ dedication to unraveling the UFO mystery has left a lasting impact. As more of his archives are unveiled, we can expect further revelations and intriguing discoveries that challenge our understanding of the unknown.
Hubble Sees Possible Runaway Black Hole Creating a Trail of Stars
Hubble Sees Possible Runaway Black Hole Creating a Trail of Stars
There's an invisible monster on the loose, barreling through intergalactic space so fast that if it were in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. This supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a never-before-seen 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" of newborn stars, twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy. It's likely the result of a rare, bizarre game of galactic billiards among three massive black holes.
Rather than gobbling up stars ahead of it, like a cosmic Pac-Man, the speedy black hole is plowing into gas in front of it to trigger new star formation along a narrow corridor. The black hole is streaking too fast to take time for a snack. Nothing like it has ever been seen before, but it was captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
This is an artist's impression of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through intergalactic space it compresses tenuous gas in front to it. This precipitates the birth of hot blue stars. This illustration is based on Hubble Space Telescope observations of a 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" of stars behind an escaping black hole. For more details,read the Extended Text Description. Credits: NASA, ESA, Leah Hustak (STScI)
"We think we're seeing a wake behind the black hole where the gas cools and is able to form stars. So, we're looking at star formation trailing the black hole," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. "What we're seeing is the aftermath. Like the wake behind a ship we're seeing the wake behind the black hole." The trail must have lots of new stars, given that it is almost half as bright as the host galaxy it is linked to.
The black hole lies at one end of the column, which stretches back to its parent galaxy. There is a remarkably bright knot of ionized oxygen at the outermost tip of the column. Researchers believe gas is probably being shocked and heated from the motion of the black hole hitting the gas, or it could be radiation from an accretion disk around the black hole. "Gas in front of it gets shocked because of this supersonic, very high-velocity impact of the black hole moving through the gas. How it works exactly is not really known," said van Dokkum.
"This is pure serendipity that we stumbled across it," van Dokkum added. He was looking for globular star clusters in a nearby dwarf galaxy. "I was just scanning through the Hubble image and then I noticed that we have a little streak. I immediately thought, 'oh, a cosmic ray hitting the camera detector and causing a linear imaging artifact.' When we eliminated cosmic rays we realized it was still there. It didn't look like anything we've seen before."
This Hubble Space Telescope archival photo captures a curious linear feature that is so unusual it was first dismissed as an imaging artifact from Hubble's cameras. But follow-up spectroscopic observations reveal it is a 200,000-light-year-long chain of young blue stars. A supermassive black hole lies at the tip of the bridge at lower left. The black hole was ejected from the galaxy at upper right. It compressed gas in its wake to leave a long trail of young blue stars. Nothing like this has ever been seen before in the universe. This unusual event happened when the universe was approximately half its current age.

Because it was so weird, van Dokkum and his team did follow-up spectroscopy with the W. M. Keck Observatories in Hawaii. He describes the star trail as "quite astonishing, very, very bright and very unusual." This led to the conclusion that he was looking at the aftermath of a black hole flying through a halo of gas surrounding the host galaxy.
This intergalactic skyrocket is likely the result of multiple collisions of supermassive black holes. Astronomers suspect the first two galaxies merged perhaps 50 million years ago. That brought together two supermassive black holes at their centers. They whirled around each other as a binary black hole.
Then another galaxy came along with its own supermassive black hole. This follows the old idiom: "two's company and three's a crowd." The three black holes mixing it up led to a chaotic and unstable configuration. One of the black holes robbed momentum from the other two black holes and got thrown out of the host galaxy. The original binary may have remained intact, or the new interloper black hole may have replaced one of the two that were in the original binary, and kicked out the previous companion.
When the single black hole took off in one direction, the binary black holes shot off in the opposite direction. There is a feature seen on the opposite side of the host galaxy that might be the runaway binary black hole. Circumstantial evidence for this is that there is no sign of an active black hole remaining at the galaxy’s core. The next step is to do follow-up observations with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory to confirm the black hole explanation.
There’s an invisible monster on the loose! It’s barreling through intergalactic space fast enough to travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. But don’t worry, luckily this beast is very, very far away! This potential supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a never-before-seen 200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars. The streamer is twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy. It’s likely the result of a rare, bizarre game of galactic billiards among three massive black holes.

NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a wide-angle view of the universe with Hubble's exquisite resolution. As a survey telescope, the Roman observations might find more of these rare and improbable "star streaks" elsewhere in the universe. This may require machine learning using algorithms that are very good at finding specific weird shapes in a sea of other astronomical data, according to van Dokkum.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, in Washington, D.C.

Voices of Ancestors: Listen to the Sound of 14 Ancient Languages (Video)
Language is a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with one another across time and space. Through language, we are able to share our stories, our ideas, and our cultures with others. In this fascinating video, we are transported back in time to hear the sounds of 14ancient languages spoken once again. From the Ancient Egyptians to the Sumerians, Aztecs, Celts, and Vikings, these languages are a window into the past and offer us a glimpse of the cultures and societies that once existed. While many of these languages have long since disappeared, hearing them spoken again brings to life the imagined voices of our ancestors.
