Chrissy Newton sits down with Area51 insider and former CIA specialist, who reveals secrets about the base. 

For some, Area51 has been an obsession for over 50 years. Talk of secret government technologies, off plant vehicles, back engineering, ET technology and so many more theories. Located in a remote desert, Area 51 is the common name of a highly classified United States Air Force facility located within Nevada. 

Former Area 51 employee and CIA specialist, TD Barnes joins Chrissy to speak about his experiences working on the A-12 stealth plane, his thoughts on Bob Lazar, his knowledge of the SR-71, what it was like spending time on the base, how he was scouted by the CIA and rumors of the SR-72 being built.

Demi Lovato Hunts UFOs In Their New Show

In this extended interview, Demi Lovato opens up to TODAY’s Hoda Kotb about gender identity, mental health, and a new show that has the singer hunting down UFOs.

Demi Lovato is after the truth.

After the singer and actor had their own personal UFO experience while in Joshua Tree, California, Lovato can’t help but wonder if aliens have visited Earth. That’s what they, along with their best friend Matthew, and sister Dallas, seek to find out in the four-part docuseries Unidentified with Demi Lovato, which just released its first trailer.

In October of 2020, Lovato posted on Instagram that they had “witnessed the most incredibly profound sighting both in the sky as well as feet away from me,” and in the new Unidentified trailer, they expand on that experience.

“I had this crazy experience that happened to me in Joshua Tree. It was this bright light that kind of moved in these weird ways that a plane wouldn’t move,” Lovato says. “My goal is to find out what really happened.”

The show looks like it’s going to be filled with some great UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomena) footage, plus some fun times with Lovato and their friends. Demi is a charismatic star, and even if the show was just four hours of them sitting in the dark watching the sky, they’d still make it compelling.

Interest in UFOs or UAPs, as the government calls them, has exploded over the last year, especially after an appropriations package signed into law included a provision that required the secretary of defense and director of national intelligence to submit unclassified reports on the government’s UFO knowledge.

When it finally came out, the report was, of course, disapointingly vague. The assessment included 144 confirmed UAP reports from US Government sources, with 18 of those reporting “unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics.” 

While the government said that most of the report could be explained as airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, government or industry developmental programs, or foreign government technology, they admit that there are a few reports in an “other” category that the government is looking deeper into.

Unidentified with Demi Lovato premieres September 30 on Peacock!

Ready to boldly go? William Shatner, 90, 'is going into SPACE with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin': Legendary Star Trek actor would become the oldest person EVER in space

• William Shatner is set to become the oldest man ever in space as part of the second civilian crew to travel with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin  

• The 90-year-old actor will take off in the New Shepard capsule in October for a 15-minute civilian flight

• Blue Origin launched their first civilian flight in July launching Bezos and three others into space; Mark Bezos, Oliver Daemen, and Wally Funk

•  Daemen, 18, became the youngest person to ever enter space; Funk, 82, became the oldest person to ever enter space

By ADRIANA DIAZ FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner will boldly go where no 90-year-old has ever been when he joins the crew on the next spaceflight by Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. 

Shatner, who played James T. Kirk on the classic TV show and subsequent movies, will take off in the New Shepard capsule in October for a 15-minute civilian flight, according to TMZ. The exact date has not been revealed.

The Blue Origin flight will be recorded for a documentary that was rejected by Discovery and is now being negotiated by Shatner's team somewhere else.  

DailyMail.com reached out to Shatner's management and Blue Origin. Neither could confirm the report.  

Actor William Shatner, 90, is set to become the oldest man ever in space aboard the second civilian flight from Jeff Bezos' company Blue Origin

Bezos launched his first Blue Origin civilian flight on July 20 when he boarded the spacecraft with his brother, Mark Bezos, Dutch teenager Oliver Daemen, and test pilot, Wally Funk. 

Funk, became the oldest person to ever fly to space at 82 years old, a record that Shatner is now set to beat.  

Daemen's father, Joes Daemen, who founded private equity firm Somerset Capital Partners, bought Oliver's seat aboard the flight for over $20 million at auction. 

At 18 years old, he became the youngest person, first teenager, and first person born in the 21st century to travel to space. 

It is believed that the actor's spot aboard the spaceship is being comped. His fellow civilian astronauts have not yet been named. 

The Blue Origin New Shepard is scheduled to launch sometime next month 

Bezos launched into space in July as part of Blue Origin's first civilian launch 

Shatner, right, starred at Captain Kirk in the 1960's cult classic Star Trek: The Original Series

Shatner commented on Bezos' space launch and the recent billionaire space race to begin space tourism. 

'I know there is an argument to be made about popularizing space travel, and I've talked to a lot of travelers to space who are excited to get to Mars,' he told NBC.   

The actor mentioned Bezos' mission to Mars but called it 'ridiculous.' 

'It takes a year and a half to get there. People will think it's like we're on a trip, on a cruise line. No, man! You're in zero gravity and it's hotter than hell and the air is putrid. 'Help me, I'm dying, but I'm dying slowly!' What a terrible fate.'

He also noted the danger of space travel.

'If you basically have a flat tire in space, it means you die. It seems to me you're more likely to die there than on the Hollywood Freeway.'

But Shatner ended discussing his perspective on morality.

'You know, at my age, you're constantly aware of mortality. Any moment of, 'Oh, I'm a little dizzy. Am I dying?' It's an interesting question.' 

Shatner has been criticized for his recent partnership with RT America for his science-themed talk show, I Don't Understand. 

US intelligence agencies have described the Kremlin-backed channel, which is registered with the federal government as a 'foreign agent' as 'Russia's state-run propaganda machine.'

The Man Who Sees UFOs - Radio Interview with Christo Roppolo by Jeffery Pritchett

Christo Roppolo continues his passionate exploration for extraterrestrial truth along the rugged beaches of the Central Coast. However, much like his martian anomalies, life proves unpredictable.

Christo Is a humble, but honestly emotional and caring, man trying to illuminate a phenomenon that could usher in a new status for mankind among the community of civilizations of both our dimension and other adjoining dimensions. Because of his lack of hubris, some fail to see that his story, in it’s own way, could be as influential as Gene Roddenberry’s was in changing the viewpoint of modern man towards what our future could hold. Looking forward to your next film Christo. God bless you brother  Doug Marry

VERY STRANGE ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN MACOMB ILLINOIS

Astronomers may have just found the first ever evidence of a planet orbiting three stars at the same time. Triple star systems make up only about 10% of all systems and much fewer planets have been detected in them compared to systems with just one star. That is why this newest research is incredibly significant as it may turn out to be the first ever discovery of its kind.

In the early part of 2020, astronomers were using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) when they discovered a new star system close to the Orion constellation. Located about 1,300 light-years away from Earth is the GW Ori system that has three young stars. A massive gas and dust disk that looks like Saturn’s rings surrounds the newfound system. These disks are important in the early formation of new planets.

While this type of disk is actually quite common in young star systems, the one detected in GW Ori is incredibly odd as it contains an unexplained gap in between it that separates it into two portions. It was previously thought that the gap was caused by a gravitational torque caused by the three stars but new research has provided a different assessment.

In a new study, researchers from the University of Nevada believe that the reasoning behind the mysterious gap in the disk is actually caused by at least one young planet within the gas cloud of the GW Ori system. If they are correct in their theory, this would be the first ever detection of a circumtriple planet, meaning a planet that orbits three stars. This was reiterated in an interview with the New York Times when Jeremy Smallwood, who is a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the lead author of the paper, stated, “It may be the first evidence of a circumtriple planet carving a gap in real-time.”

(Not the GW Ori system)

Since the researchers can’t actually see the planet(s), they can’t confirm if they’re actually there or not. However, if there are “infant” planets in the system, experts believe that they are probably gas giants because of the gap in the dust cloud. A picture of the gas and dust disk surrounding GW Ori can be seen here.

MISSION 29P

Latest images:

The following two images, the colour one from Peter Tickner, indicate that there is an excess of blue light in the upper right of the coma (p.a. 270-350 deg). This may be evidence of the emission of light from ionised gas moving in this direction and overtaking the slower-moving dust. Thanks Peter.

Preface

A YouTube video of a BAA Webinar on the subject of this most unusual solar system object has been available since 2021 May 14. It features Prof Laura Woodney of California State University, San Bernardino and myself presenting some latest findings about this object and talking about possibilities of sending a space probe to investigate further.

Coverage of the latest apparition of 29P began with observations by Jean-François Soulier during the early hours of June 25.

What is Comet 29P?

This comet (aka 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1) is the most observable that exists and yet we understand very little about it. It is the second-most active body in our Solar System, after Jupiter's moon, Io, in that its level of volcanism is engendered by tidal interactions with the planet. The Comet Section has therefore launched this special project to ensure that our understanding of it is much improved such that it becomes the most observed comet that we know of.

This mysterious object is temporarily locked in its present near-circular orbit by the gravity of the giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn. Located at a mean heliocentric distance of 6.0 au, 29P describes an orbit around the Sun every 14.7 years or so, with a perihelion distance of 5.7 au and aphelion of 6.3 au. Because it never approaches the Sun closely, it never exhibits a distinctive tail, i.e. quite unlike most people’s idea of a comet. But like Jupiter and Saturn, the comet is observable during most of each year apart from the couple of months it spends in solar conjunction. Current location in the JPL Small-Body Database Browser.

Intensive observations have been underway since 2014 when the mini-outburst phenomenon was discovered, i.e. weak outbursts not exceeeding 1.0 mag in amplitude. The following set of plots show its behaviour during its seven 2014-2020 apparitions (click on the image to obtain larger views). The provisional plot for 2020 has been included.

So what can you do as an observer?

First if you want to capture images that can be used to perform photometry then do consult the Observing Tutorial.

Currently Richard Miles coordinates the observing campaign so please direct any queries to him. The main objectives are:

• 1. Detect any new outburst as soon as possible after it has taken place so that we can (a) determine the time of the event, and (b) initiate 'target of opportunity' images with the 2.0-m Faulkes Telescopes to study the resulting expanding coma.
• 2. Measure the brightness of the inner coma and determine (a) the maximum brightness of each outburst, and (b) follow its subsequent decline photometrically.
• 3. Establish a long-term archive of: (a) its photometric lightcurve (intensive observations began in 2014); (b) a high-precision astrometry archive (so its orbit is precisely known for the prediction of stellar occultations); and (c) archive images series depicting the development of the expanding coma after each significant outburst

By recording its characteristics in this way it is hoped that we can elucidate the true nature of this object.

Comets are a favorite space rock of amateur astronomers for many reasons – they’re often seen without a telescope, their tails tale them easy to fins, some return on a regular scale and a few end up in rock songs. However, they’re mostly just icy rock balls and don’t do anything special – except for Comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann, better known as Comet 29P, the flashing comet. The what? What’s making it flash?

29P Schwassmann Wachmann orbit (NASA)

“Some are calling this a super outburst. This requires an immense amount of energy. We don’t know. And that’s what makes it so interesting.”

Dr. Maria Womack, an astrophysicist at the National Science Foundation, told The New York Times that the 37-mile-wide 29P comet doesn’t act like the ice ball it is – it is constantly blasting off gas and dust as it orbits the Sun every 14.6 years in a nearly circular orbit … a real oddity in our solar system. Discovered in 1927 by German astronomers Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann, it has an unusual brightness range between 12 and 16 magnitude. However, when it hits 16, it occasionally goes superbright and can reach 21 magnitude. 29P averages an amazing 7.3 bursts per year but their timing is unpredictable as is their brightness, so what happened last week was unexpected and unbelievable … 29P emitted four consecutive outbursts.

• Current Status and Latest Observations:
• STOP PRESS – Fourth outburst on 2021 09 27.6+/-0.2 almost 9 times greater intensity than the first two events !!!!
• STOP PRESS – Third outburst on 2021 09 27.0 almost 5 times greater intensity than the former two events. Time between each pair of outbursts ~20 h
• LATEST: An outburst of about 2.5 mag amplitude appears to have occurred on 2021 September 25.34 +/-0.005 followed about 20 hours later by another outburst of similar intensity

Richard Miles, director of the asteroids and remote planets section of the British Astronomical Association, is the project lead on the MISSION 29P website, which keeps track of 29P activity and issued those news bursts as the comet bursts happened. According to Sky and Telescope, Miles thinks 29P’s first massive outburst triggered the next and so on until they stopped at four. No other comet in the solar systems flares with this frequency and intensity.

(NASA)

However, no astronomer can answer the big question. They speculate the flares could be caused by carbon monoxide heating up and erupting into space – a process called cryovolcanism where sunlight weakens 29P’s crust, allowing cryomagma made up of carbon monoxide and other slushy ices to vigorously bubble out like champagne from a shaken bottle. Or the flares could be caused by a cometary landslide or even a cometary quake causing a piece to break off. Dr. Kacper Wierzchoś, an astronomer at the University of Arizona, had an observation that we all can relate to.

“Who knows?”

That means they’ll keep on watching and reporting on the MISSION 29P website.

The Flashing Comets would be a great name for a band … as long as the social media algorithms don’t censor it.

One of the more spectacular types of UFO accounts are of these objects coming down to crash on earth, and these have been reported from all over the world. The scene here is the small, picturesque town of Megas Platanos, a small village just outside of Athens, in central Greece. It is a serene, rural place, infused with history and mostly populated by goat and sheep herders and farmers, a place where not much ever really happens, but all of that would change in the very early morning hours of September 2, 1990, when at around 3 a.m. some of the villagers saw a strange scene playing out in the sky above. As these simple folk looked up, they saw between six and one dozen brightly lit objects sailing through the air silently, and these objects were seen to change course numerous times, first passing over Mount Pentelicus and heading north past the city of Thessaloniki, then sharply turning to go south. At some point, one of the objects began to wobble and fly erratically, with the color and intensity of its light changing as well, and things would only get weirder from there, turning into what many have called “The Greek Roswell.”

The object in question seemed to be in some sort of trouble, steadily losing altitude and obviously not flying straight, until it suddenly dropped  down to smash into a small hill called Tympristo. There were apparently quite a few witnesses to this event. One shepherd claimed that it had come down just 500 feet away from him to spew fire, while another family called the Karadratus claimed to have seen the object hurtling toward the ground in flames, and they would say of it:

After falling, the object made black smoke, like that of burning tires. After a while, the other objects descended near the grounded craft and landed around it, as if encircling it. The lights of the other objects were so bright that they illuminated part of the hill. We were standing there, watching. My husband and I went closer for a better look. He could see movement in front of the burning object, like shadows that passed back and forth but we could not discern if they were human or something else. They did something in the bright circle that formed around the big object.

After the object had come down, many witnesses claim that the remaining objects in the sky hovered over the location for some time and began dipping down close to the ground and shooting back up again, as if they were rescuing their friends. Although only a few people had witnessed the actual crash, there were many more who had been awakened by a sound like and explosion and had come out to see these lights bobbing up and down above the site. Villagers were afraid to go anywhere near the site until the following day, when things would get even stranger still.

The following morning, some people warily made their way out to where the object had come down. Not only was there scorched earth and trees that were still hot to the touch, but there was allegedly an oval hole in the ground containing a small metallic object with two antennas on it, as well as what appeared to be an engraving of a shape that looked like a lightning bolt. There were also scattered pieces of metallic debris and wires, and before long police had been notified and arrived for an investigation. When they arrived, they were given some of the pieces that had been found, but they concluded that it had not been a plane crash, but rather just a brush fire, something which all present denied. The Greek Air Force also converged on the scene and were also quick to write it all off as nothing but a fire. The Air Force would whisk off some shards and the round object with the antenna, after which they would explain it away, saying of it all in their report:

We certify that the object in question burned grass and shrubs within a radius of 200 meters. The debris collected was as follows: Pieces of an 11cm diameter female plug made of copper and with Arabic numerals in its center. A series of copper multipin cables, connected to the aforementioned plug. The insulation of these cables was made of silk, such as cloth and teflon. A burnt rubber circular cover. A steel ring. Three 10cm steel bars each. At the bottom two regulators with the Greek letter F at their base. The debris found was of earthly origin, given that there were numerical and alphabetical indications. It was old technology, possible pieces of an old satellite. This conclusion was based on measurements, wiring and construction. The satellite must be from Europe or the former Soviet Union, as only in these parts of the world is the metric system in meters and centimeters. On the letter F, it is from the Soviet Union since that country uses this Greek letter in its Cyrillic alphabet and also has the technology for such a device.

Witnesses were sure of what they had seen, and insisted it was no satellite that had come down, and that the other objects had hovered there over the crash site for some tie on their “rescue operation,” and they also denied that there had been any Greek letter F on the wreckage. but for authorities the case was closed. They would say it was either a satellite, a jet, or a helicopter that had come down, but this seems odd because if that were the case then where was the rest? Another expert theorized that it had been a meteor, with the director of the Astronomical institute of the National Observatory of Athens stating:

These are not just extraterrestrials. At this time (September 1990) the orbit of the Earth passes near a flock of meteors, the so-called Persians. These meteorites, as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere at a height of about one hundred kilometers, due to their high speed, develop a high friction and ignite. So the world sees flashes. When it comes to meteors, they may be artificial satellites. As many pieces of the satellite are destroyed, they also ignite in the atmosphere. Finally, the phenomena may also be due to abnormal refractions or reflections in the atmosphere from lights on the earth. Even the lights of a range of cars can cause such a spectacular sight. Everything else is devoid of seriousness and is due to fantasy or group hysteria.

Again, the people who had seen it disputed this, and Greek UFO researchers were also skeptical of the official reports. Indeed, they suspected that these official remarks were false, and also found that the witnesses to the actual event had never even been properly interviewed. Curiously, the incident was also mostly absent from the press, with very little coverage on it, and most of what there was simply speaking of a downed satellite. Indeed, to this day it remains a mostly obscure case only known of through the testimonies of villagers in the area gleaned from intrepid Greek ufologists. What happened on that night out in the countryside of Greece, and what is the real story? It looks like we may never know for sure.

ESA orbiter will encounter Mercury October 1

by European Space Agency

The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury will make the first of six flybys of its destination planet on 1 October before entering orbit in 2025.

Hot on the heels of its last Venus flyby in August, the spacecraft's next exciting encounter is with Mercury at 23:34 UTC on 1 October (01:34 CEST 2 October). It will swoop by the planet at an altitude of about 200 km, capturing imagery and science data that will give scientists a tantalizing first taste of what's to come in the main mission.

The mission comprises two science orbiters which will be delivered into complementary orbits around the planet by the Mercury Transfer Module in 2025. The ESA-led Mercury Planetary Orbiter and the JAXA-led Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter, Mio, will study all aspects of this mysterious inner planet from its core to surface processes, magnetic field and exosphere, to better understand the origin and evolution of a planet close to its parent star.

BepiColombo will make use of nine planetary flybys in total: one at Earth, two at Venus, and six at Mercury, together with the spacecraft's solar electric propulsion system, to help steer into Mercury orbit.

On track for Mercury slingshot

Gravitational flybys require extremely precise deep-space navigation work, ensuring that the spacecraft is on the correct approach trajectory.

One week after BepiColombo's last flyby on 10 August, a correction maneuver was performed to nudge the craft a little for this first flyby of Mercury, targeting an altitude of 200 km. At present, the craft is predicted to pass the innermost planet at 198 km, and small adjustments can easily be made with solar electric propulsion maneuvers after the swing-by. As BepiColombo is more than 100 million km away from Earth, with light taking 350 seconds (about six minutes) to reach it, being on target to within just two kilometers is no easy feat.

"It is because of our remarkable ground stations that we know where our spacecraft is with such precision. With this information, the Flight Dynamics team at ESOC know just how much we need to maneuver, to be in the right place for Mercury's gravitational assist," explains Elsa Montagnon, Spacecraft Operations Manager for the mission.

"As is often the case, our mission's path has been planned so meticulously that no further correction maneuvers are expected for this upcoming flyby. BepiColombo is on track."

First glimpse of Mercury

During the flybys it is not possible to take high-resolution imagery with the main science camera because it is shielded by the transfer module while the spacecraft is in cruise configuration. However, two of BepiColombo's three monitoring cameras (MCAMs) will be taking photos from about five minutes after the time of close approach and up to four hours later. Because BepiColombo is arriving on the planet's nightside, conditions are not ideal to take images directly at the closest approach, thus the closest image will be captured from a distance of about 1000 km.

The first image to be downlinked will be from about 30 minutes after closest approach, and is expected to be available for public release at around 08:00 CEST on Saturday morning. The close approach and subsequent images will be downlinked one by one during Saturday morning.

The cameras provide black-and-white snapshots in 1,024 x 1,024 pixel resolution, and are positioned on the Mercury Transfer Module such that they also capture the spacecraft's solar arrays and antennas. As the spacecraft changes its orientation during the flyby, Mercury will be seen passing behind the spacecraft structural elements.

In general, MCAM-2 will point towards the northern hemisphere of Mercury, while MCAM-3 will point towards the southern hemisphere. During the half hour following the close approach, imaging will alternate between the two cameras. Later imaging will be performed by MCAM-3.

For the closest images it should be possible to identify large impact craters on the planet's surface. Mercury has a heavily cratered surface much like the appearance of Earth's Moon, plotting its 4.6 billion year history. Mapping the surface of Mercury and analyzing its composition will help scientists understand more about its formation and evolution.

Even though BepiColombo is in 'stacked' cruise configuration for the flybys, it will be possible to operate some of the science instruments on both planetary orbiters, allowing a first taste of the planet's magnetic, plasma and particle environment.

"We're really looking forward to seeing the first results from measurements taken so close to Mercury's surface," says Johannes Benkhoff, ESA's BepiColombo project scientist. "When I started working as project scientist on BepiColombo in January 2008, NASA's Messenger mission had its first flyby at Mercury. Now it's our turn. It's a fantastic feeling!"

The DUMBs Deep Underground Military Complex Called "Raven Rock Mountain Complex" and More

In America alone there are over 120 Deep Underground Military Bases situated under most major cities, US AFBs, US Navy Bases and US Army Bases, as well as underneath FEMA Military Training Camps and DHS control centers. There are also many Deep Underground Military Bases under Canada.

Almost all of these bases are over 2 miles underground and have diameters ranging from 10 miles up to 30 miles across! They have been building these bases day and night, unceasingly, since the 1940s. These bases are basically large cities underground connected by high-speed magneto-levity trains that have speeds up to 1500 MPH.

The Black Projects sidestep the authority of Congress, which as we know is illegal. There is much hard evidence out there. Many will react with fear, terror and paranoia, but you must snap out of it and wake up from the brainwashing your media pumps into your heads all day long.

Wow, just look at it! This UFO is moving really fast and is nearly the size of the moon. The glowing object moves across the sky and behind the trees in under 18 seconds, now thats fast. Thats 100% proof that this is not the moon. This is amazing! This craft is huge and its really moving. The city of Stacy has a low population of around 1,500 residents so don't expect a lot of reports or a lot of videos of it in such a low populated area. Fantastic sighting and shows how it moves, its speed, its size its shape...just wonderful! This is undeniable proof that aliens are flying over American cities.

UFO Filmed Being Followed By An Airplane Over Dehradun, India. September 24, 2021

This object was sighted over Dehradun, The capital of the Indian state of Uttarakhand, near the Himalayan foothills. This object was witnessed by multiple people with one stating the following "it was very close and totally silent" another add "This was literally above Sahastradhara road. It was not a plane not a helicopter but looked like a bus. I was like was i the only one who saw this?"

Many thanks to the individuals that filmed this sighting:

In an interesting new study, researchers have revealed that several ancient volcanic eruptions actually helped the dinosaurs to dominate the planet and thrive for so many millions of years. The volcanic eruptions started happening about 230 million years ago which caused significant changes to the environment and ecology such as Earth’s carbon cycle as well as the climate.

Researchers came to this conclusion by studying sediment and fossil plant records that came from a lake in the Jiyuan Basin in the northern part of China. They noticed that there was more humidity and higher temperatures that were caused by extreme volcanism and climatic shifts. These environmental changes included the CPE’s (Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode) “mega monsoon” climate around 234 to 232 million years ago. When these changes occurred, massive amounts of marine creatures were wiped out, conifer trees increased in numbers, and dinosaurs became dominant.

Jason Hilton, who is a professor of paleobotany and paleoenvironments at the University of Birmingham in Britain and a co-author of the study, went into further details, “Within the space of two million years the world’s animal and plant life underwent major changes including selective extinctions in the marine realm and diversification of plant and animal groups on land,” adding, “These events coincide with a remarkable interval of intense rainfall known as the Carnian Pluvial Episode.”

As a matter of fact, the researchers separated the shift that lasted two million years into four episodes that were each caused by a volcanic pulse. These events allowed more carbon to be released into our atmosphere which ended up making our planet warmer and caused large amounts of rain to fall.

Dr. Sarah Greene, who is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham as well as being another co-author of the study, weighed in by noting, “Our results show that large volcanic eruptions can occur in multiple, discrete pulses – demonstrating their powerful ability to alter the global carbon cycle, cause climate and hydrological disruption and drive evolutionary processes.”

While these climatic shifts gave rise to the dinosaurs, experts still aren’t clear as to the reasoning behind it as explained by Emma Dunne who is a paleobiologist at the University of Birmingham but was not involved in the study, “This relatively long period of volcanic activity and environmental change would have had considerable consequences for animals on land.” “At this time, the dinosaurs had just begun to diversify, and it’s likely that without this event, they would never have reached their ecological dominance we see over the next 150 million years.”

Well, at least the dinosaurs benefited from the numerous volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago – until the asteroid wiped them out 66 million years ago.

The study was published in the journal PNAS where it can be read in full.

For many recent nighttime observers in North America and Europe, strange glowing lights may have made an appearance in the evening skies.

Although they may have looked otherworldly in appearance, these phenomena were of the celestial variety, rather than indications of extraterrestrial visitation.

On Monday, a powerful geomagnetic storm was logged by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who predicted that resulting displays of the aurora borealis could have been visible as far south as New York, Wisconsin, and Washington.

Geomagnetic storms occur when Earth’s sun ejects energy in the form of highly charged particles that strike the magnetic field that encircles our planet. As the particles collide with our planet’s magnetic shielding, it creates the famous dancing auroral displays, which under the right conditions can be very colorful and vivid.

NOAA features an online aurora forecast that provides real-time updates on when and where auroral appearances will be visible to nighttime viewers in the northern hemisphere. Similarly, viewers further south may occasionally be able to spot the aurora australis, the southern counterpart to the aurora borealis, which can be seen from various locales in the southern hemisphere.

However, the aurora borealis probably wasn’t the only thing causing the appearances of eerie lights in the night sky over parts of North America this week.

Many skywatchers in North Carolina were also made privy to a light show in recent days as a mysterious object was seen streaking through the sky shortly after 7:30 PM. Was it a UFO?

Probably not in this case, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS), who received videos of the nighttime intruder from North Carolinians who managed to film it, and said the object was a bright fireball.

The AMS says it was one of a handful of similar fireball sightings that occurred across North America last Friday night.

The meteor apparently cut through the atmosphere at a height of around 48 miles as it entered above Jacksonville, North Carolina. Observers estimate that it traveled at speeds nearing 32,000 miles per hour as it burned along.

According to its outlook for the dates encompassing when the sighting occurred, the AMS said that the estimated total hourly meteor rate for observers had been near 2 for observers in northern latitudes, and 1 as seen from tropical southern locations.

“The actual rates will also depend on factors such as personal light and motion perception, local weather conditions, alertness, and experience in watching meteor activity,” the AMS outlook read, adding that “Rates are reduced due to moonlight during this period,” and that “observers viewing from urban areas will see less activity as only the brighter meteors will be visible from such locations.”

Like auroras, the dynamics of meteors are well understood, although there have been a variety of anomalous occurrences associated with each of these phenomena, namely involving unusual sounds associated with the passage of bright fireballs through the sky. These noises that often accompany meteors have long baffled astronomers, because they cannot easily be reconciled as being produced by the objects burning through the sky since observers often report them simultaneously, as opposed to several seconds (or even minutes) later, allowing time for such sounds to travel.

While some phenomena associated with meteors does obviously remain mysterious, recent sightings of unusual things in the night sky over the Northern Hemisphere do seem to have a reasonable explanation, this time.

Some of the Moon’s Craters are so Dark, it Takes AI to see What’s Inside Them

There is no dark side of the Moon.  But there are dark spots on it – specifically at the bottom of craters that are never reached by any sunlight no matter where the Moon is facing.  These areas have intrigued scientists for decades, in no small part because lack of sunlight means a lower temperature, allowing frozen materials to stay frozen. In other words, there may be water in them thar craters.  And water will be the lifeblood of any future permanent crewed lunar mission.  

Unfortunately, lack of sunlight also means it’s challenging to see what’s at the bottom of those craters.  The closest scientists have come was when LCROSS, a NASA moon mission, fired a projectile into the crater Cabeus and analyzed the resultant dust cloud, which contained a relatively high amount of water.  But so far, no one has been able to image what water is in those craters directly.

That is not to say the craters are illuminated at all.  Even when they are not in direct sunlight, reflected sunlight, some of which might have bounced off nearby hills, is still channeled into the crater. But any images captured using that reflected light are too “noisy” to make out any detailed features.  

Enter a new technique developed by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany.  They used an AI algorithm called the Hyper-effective nOise Removal U-net Software (HORUS).  HORUS’s primary goal is to “clean up” the noisy images of the bottom of unlit craters collected by other spacecraft, such as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).  In addition to removing noise, the software must also correct for other factors, such as the movement of LRO itself.

Despite such difficulties, the researchers used 70,000 images from LRO to calibrate the software, which was then unleashed upon 17 different permanently dark regions at the lunar south pole.  The largest area studied was 54 sq km, while the smallest was a mere 0.18 sq km.

With the new software, the image of the bottom of the crater is improved significantly.  Unfortunately, the photos don’t show any direct evidence of water, such as bright patches that would indicate ice. However, any crewed mission that wants to look for water in or under the regolith of these craters will first need to know what terrain it is entering.  Defining such terrain is where HORUS shines – the researchers could make out geological features a few meters across, which could be potentially hazardous to a lander or rover.

This was the first step toward exploring these previously invisible parts of the Moon.  With luck, someday, humans will be able to explore these areas safely, and with even more luck, they might find a source of an essential ingredient of all Earth-bound life.

ANCIENT TABLET DISPLAYS PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM 1,000 YEARS BEFORE PYTHAGORAS WAS EVEN BORN

LIAM STEWART

An almost 4000-year-old clay tablet displays an early form of applied geometry practiced by the ancient Babylonians, thousands of years before the math was initially thought to have been discovered.

BACKGROUND: DID THE BABYLONIANS HAVE GEOMETRY?

Trigonometry was largely understood to have been first discovered by the Greeks around the second century BCE. The word itself came from a combination of the Greek words for ‘earth’ and ‘measure.’

Prominent figures such as Euclid and Pythagoras created foundations and theorems that were instrumental in advancing the understanding of mathematics throughout the western world. Some of their work is still being used in current modern applications, such as Pythagoras’ theorem regarding right triangles.

While the Greeks may have had the greatest impact worldwide with their mathematical discoveries, it would eventually be revealed that they were not the first. In 2017, researchers at the University of New South Wales found a famous Babylonian tablet from 3,700 years ago, known as “Plimpton 322,” that contained a trigonometric table inscribed on it. It had sequences of numbers that are known as Pythagorean triples, despite it being thousands of years before Pythagoras lived when the tablet was used.

ANALYSIS: THE ANCIENTS WERE MATH NERDS

Dr. Daniel Mansfield of the University of New South Wales, who was a part of the same team that discovered Plimpton 322 in 2017, revealed that a different clay tablet from the same time period in Babylonia contained the oldest known record of applied geometry.

The tablet, known as “Si.427,” contains mathematical and legal records of land transactions at the time. It was discovered first in 1894 in what is now the province of Baghdad in Iraq—finding it proved to be a journey in itself for Mansfield, and efforts to decipher it tacked on further months of effort.

The tablet, similar to Plimpton 322, also displays the use of Pythagorean triples to make proper right angles. Si.427’s purpose regarding land has also led to researchers hypothesizing that one of the potential reasons Babylonians were interested in these more advanced forms of mathematics was to create accurate partitions and borders of their land.

The Babylonians created their own solutions, with the boundaries displayed on several additional tablets showcasing an apparent mastery of geographical and trigonometric properties. According to Dr. Mansfield, the Pythagorean triples used on the clay tablets is especially interesting because of their variety. An easy way to create a right angle is to create a triangle with a 3-4-5 pattern, with the largest number being attributed to the hypotenuse. The Babylonians used several different Pythagorean triples to accomplish the same goal, despite their numeric system making it particularly difficult and overall limiting in which triples can be created.

OUTLOOK: ANCIENT MATH AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FUTURE

From a historical perspective, the implications of these discoveries are relatively clear. The Babylonians possessed a significant understanding of geometry and trigonometry before it was even a thought in the minds of their alleged progenitors.

When it comes to Dr. Mansfield, his next move is to figure out the full extent of applications that ancient Babylonians used, what he refers to as, “proto-trigonometry” for. In addition to the information displayed on the front, Si.427’s backside contains a uniquely puzzling mystery that Mansfield hopes to soon crack. In large writing on the back of the tablet are the numbers: 25:29, written in this sexagesimal format. No one currently knows what these numbers mean, or even what they could potentially be referring to or measuring. However, Mansfield has stated he would like to work with other historians and mathematicians to develop theories as to what they may be.
