The Night Sky

Friday July 21: Earthshine Moon Near Mars (after sunset)

In the western sky after sunset, the pretty crescent moon will shine several finger-widths to the upper right of the small, reddish dot of Mars.
If you have an unobstructed western horizon, look for the bright planet Venus shining brightly below them, and fainter Mercury about 1.7 fist diameters to their lower right. On these evenings, watch for Earthshine on the moon, also known as the Ashen Glow and "the old moon in the new moon's arms".

Saturday, July 22: The Summer Triangle (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eUTB47D8eybebLjv2r2GLe-970-80.jpg

After dusk in mid-July, Vega, Deneb, and Altair are the first stars to appear in the darkening eastern sky. Those three bright, white stars form the Summer Triangle asterism — an annual feature of the summer sky that remains visible until the end of December!

The highest and most easterly of the trio is Vega, in Lyra. At magnitude 0.03, Vega is the brightest star in the summer sky, mainly due to its relative proximity. It's only 25 light-years away from the sun. Magnitude 0.75 Altair, in Aquila, occupies the southern corner of the triangle. Altair is 17 light-years from the sun. By contrast, Deneb, which shines somewhat less brightly at magnitude 1.25, is a staggering 2,600 light-years away from us; but it shines so brightly because of its greater intrinsic luminosity. The Milky Way passes between Vega and Altair and through Deneb.

Monday, July 24: Half-moon and Spica (evening)

The World Through the Eyes of Animals

Pigeons actually have better vision than humans. Cows can’t see the color red because they don’t have the necessary receptors in their retinas for that. Horses have a blind spot right in front of their faces because of their eye placement. Fish eyes have ultraviolet receptors and an almost 360 degree view.

Raccoon Activates Security Cam + Catches 9 Lights Flying Over

I don't know what to make of this.

Witness (Anne Vickers) description:

"My trail cam was activated by a raccoon which resulted in the trail cam recording 9 lights flying over the raccoon which did not react to this. It looks like the lights were on the ground and rose up and then flew over the raccoon. This property has no houses nearby, or any roads, and it's not a flight path for airplanes. There were 50ft trees behind the lights, there is no way it could have flown through them."

Imagery and the Alphabet with Leonard Shlain, MD (1937 – 2009)

Did humans change God's sex? Or was it done “for” us?

In ancient times, says Leonard Shlain, human societies universally worshipped the image of a goddess. Sometime about 5,000 years ago a massive shift occurred in which the gender of the diety changed. He presents his hypothesis that this change is related to the introduction of the alphabet and its effects upon the human brain. He notes that in the west, witchhunts and other effects of male-dominant society occurred at a time of rising literacy. He also suggests that the rise of feminism in the twentieth century is correlated with increased use of imagery as a result of film and television. The late Leonard Shlain, MD, was an associate professor at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. He is author of Art and Physics and The Alphabet Versus the Goddess.

When ET Calls, Can We Be Sure We're Not Being Spoofed?

http://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2023/when-et-calls-can-we-b.jpg

Scientists have devised a new technique for finding and vetting possible radio signals from other civilizations in our galaxy—a major advance in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) that will significantly boost confidence in any future detection of alien life.

Most of today's SETI searches are conducted by Earth-based radio telescopes, which means that any ground or satellite radio interference—ranging from Starlink satellites to cellphones, microwaves and even car engines—can produce a radio blip that mimics a technosignature of a civilization outside our solar system. Such false alarms have raised and then dashed hopes since the first dedicated SETI program began in 1960.

Currently, researchers vet these signals by pointing the telescope in a different place in the sky, then return a few times to the spot where the signal was originally detected to confirm it wasn't a one-off. Even then, the signal could be something fairly innocuous produced on Earth.

The new technique, developed by researchers at the Breakthrough Listen project at the University of California, Berkeley, checks for evidence that the signal has actually passed through interstellar space, eliminating the possibility that the signal is mere radio interference from Earth.

Breakthrough Listen, the most comprehensive SETI search anywhere, monitors the northern and southern skies with radio telescopes in search of technosignatures. It also targets thousands of individual stars in the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, which is the likely direction a civilization would beam a signal, with a particular focus on the center of the galaxy.

July 20 (UPI) -- National Weather Service personnel in Texas put the record heat wave to good use by baking a batch of cookies on the dashboard of a hot car.

The NWS' office in Midland said in a Facebook post it was about 105 degrees F outside and 190 degrees inside the car when the cookie dough was placed on the dashboard. The cookies were left to cook for about 4 1/2 hours.

The NWS said the cookies weren't quite "golden brown," but they were fully cooked.

"Can confirm they are done and delicious," one NWS employee wrote, adding a caution to local car-parkers.

Newly Discovered Species of Palm Tree Flowers Bears Fruit Underground

http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/pinanga-750x563.jpg

Pinanga subterranea, a new species of palm discovered by researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, is one of only two known plants that exclusively fruit and flower underground.

There are more than 2,500 species of palm known to science, but Pinanga subterranea, a new species discovered on the tropical island of Borneo, is the only one that flowers and fruits only underground. The plant and its sweet fruits are well-known to the island’s indigenous population, but it has somehow been overlooked by scientists until now. Dr Paul Chai, a Malaysian botanist and namesake of the palm species Pinanga chaiana was the first to spot the underground-flowering palm, and in 2018, Kew scientists Benedikt Kuhnhäuser, Peter Petoe and William Baker took some samples for research purposes and discovered the plant’s amazing abilities.

Japanese Farmers Develop Sweet and Sour ‘Lemon Melon’

http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Lemon-melon3.jpg

The Lemon Melon is a newly-developed type of melon that combines the sweetness and aroma of the melon with a slight sourness reminiscent of a lemon.

Japanese horticulture company Suntory Flowers reportedly spent five years developing the lemon melon, breeding it from a type of melon originally imported from overseas. The process involved a lot of trial and error and took about five years. During the development period, horticulturists experimented extensively with a number of factors, including cultivation methods and harvest times. The final product, which is blended with actual lemons, is juicy and sweet like a melon but slightly sour like a lemon.

Strange Two-faced Dying Star 'Janus' Baffles Scientists in Cosmic Oddity

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4BLrBX9UVm5zSY4rUfmzP9-320-80.gif

While routinely scanning the sky for the burnt-out remnants of dying stars, scientists stumbled upon a strange cosmic signal. After running a few more tests, they were stunned.

One of their observed stellar corpses, a white dwarf star more than 1,000 light-years from Earth that spins once every 15 minutes, had a peculiar appearance. Its orb-like surface possessed two different elements on either of its sides, weirdly divided like a basketball sliced down the middle. On one face, the researchers identified traces of hydrogen — on the other, helium. Though the split may not be exactly 50-50, the breakup the researchers saw was apparent enough to leave them scratching their heads.

"This was a completely serendipitous discovery," said astrophysicist Ilaria Caiazzo, a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology and member of the discovery team. "I was completely blown away by what I saw, and so is any astronomer to whom I show the data."

Meteor and Milky Way Over the Alps by Nicholas Roemmelt

Now this was a view with a thrill. From Mount Tschirgant in the Alps, you can see not only nearby towns and distant Tyrolean peaks, but also, weather permitting, stars, nebulas, and the band of the Milky Way Galaxy. What made the arduous climb worthwhile this night, though, was another peak -- the peak of the 2018 Perseids Meteor Shower. As hoped, dispersing clouds allowed a picturesque sky-gazing session that included many faint meteors, all while a carefully positioned camera took a series of exposures. Suddenly, a thrilling meteor -- bright and colorful -- slashed down right next to the nearly vertical band of the Milky Way. As luck would have it, the camera caught it too.

These sources are shown as bright dots on the featured image!

What stars produce these X-rays remains a topic of research, but some are hypothesized to be hot, recently-formed, low-mass stars, while others are thought to be hot, older, high-mass stars! These X-ray hot stars are scattered around the frame -- the previously identified Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGS) seen in visible light are not currently hot enough to emit X-rays!

Into the Unknown: NASA’s GEDI Space Laser Provides Answers to Rainforest Canopy Mystery

http://scitechdaily.com/images/Lasers-Measuring-Rainforest-777x518.jpg

NASA’s GEDI, a space laser, has provided a groundbreaking, detailed structural view of the world’s rainforests, enabling researchers to further understand these complex ecosystems.

Uncovering the Secrets of Rainforest Canopies

We know less about the rainforest canopy, where most of the world’s species live than we do about the surface of Mars or the bottom of the ocean. However, that is about to change thanks to GEDI—a NASA space laser that has provided a detailed structure of the world’s rainforests for the first time ever.

“Tropical forests are mainly unstratified, especially in Amazonia and regions with lower fertility or higher temperatures” reads the title of the recently published paper in the journal Environmental Research Ecology that details the laser’s findings. Authored by researchers from the U.S., the U.K., and Singapore, Christopher Doughty, professor in Northern Arizona University’s School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems and first author on the study, believes this research is crucial—and long overdue—in finding out more about the tropical ecosystems.

http://scitechdaily.com/images/GEDI-Rainforest-Data-777x285.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp/ngcb2
Graph depicting canopy information obtained from GEDI

Implications of the Rainforest Structure

“Most of the world’s species live in tropical forests and most of those make use of the canopy, and yet, we know so little,” Doughty said. “Rainforest structure matters because it controls how animals access resources and escape predators, and these findings will help us understand tropical forest animal’s susceptibility to climate change and more.”

'Man in the Moon’ Older Than Scientists Thought

http://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/78819D68-1F36-442E-8FDA2997515D03AC_source.jpg?w=590&h=800&37EEB459-361B-4B10-BC3FCD409F1E1B4B

The “Man in the Moon,” the dark area of dried lava that looks like a face smiling from the lunar surface, may be older than anyone thought, scientists say. The consequences could echo through the entire solar system.

Unlike Earth, where plate tectonics and biological processes regularly reface the planet, the moon’s surface is an archive of scars from impacts that have occurred over the satellite’s 4.5-billion-year lifetime. Scientists use those craters to determine the relative age of different features: where craters overlap, the one on top must be younger (formed more recently) than the one on the bottom. The more craters covering a spot, the older the rock must be.

“It’s like changing the clock for all solar system objects,” says Stephanie Werner, a planetary scientist at the University of Oslo in Norway and a co-author of the new research, which she presented on July 14 at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Lyon, France. The finding is currently in press in the Planetary Science Journal.

Werner and her colleagues revisited analyses of moon rocks from NASA’s six crewed Apollo landings and Russia’s three robotic Luna sample-return missions (all in the 1960s and 1970s), China’s 2020 Chang’e 5 spacecraft, as well as orbital data.

Thursday Myths & Legends 101: The Jade Rabbit

http://hollowtreetales.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/moon-02.jpg?w=490

Okay, so you’ve heard of the Man in the Moon… have you ever heard of the Rabbit in the Moon? If you know your East Asian culture, you probably have.

There is an old Buddhist legend where a monkey, an otter, a jackal and a rabbit are all hoping to do a good deed on the Uposatha, or the Buddhist sabbath, believing a good deed will bring them great rewards.

An old man passes by them, begging for food, and so the monkey gathers fruit from the highest reaches of the trees, while the otter catches fish for the man, and the jackal—less honorably—steals him a lizard and some milk curds.

The rabbit only knows how to gather grass, though, which he knows can’t serve the man for food, and so he offers himself, throwing himself on the man’s fire. The rabbit does not burn, though, and the man reveals himself to be Śakra, the Jade Emperor, or the ruler of Heaven in Buddhist mythology. He is so touched by the rabbit’s selflessness, that he lifts the smoke from his fire to leave an impression on the moon of the rabbit, for generations to come.

Interestingly, there is a very similar legend involving Quetzalcoatl, an ancient Aztec deity, who was starving by a roadside and had a rabbit offer himself up to save him.

There is an opposite tale also in MesoAmerican legends, of a deity called Nanauatzin who offered himself freely as sacrifice to become the sun, while the wealthy god Tecciztecatl hesitated multiple times to light himself as the moon—and because of his resistance the moon was declared to never glow as brightly as the sun, and one of the gods threw a rabbit in the face of the moon as an insult, which remains there to this day.

As you can see in the picture, though, it doesn’t just look like a rabbit, but it looks as if the rabbit is doing… something. In Chinese legend, the Rabbit is a companion of the moon goddess Chang’e, and pounds the elixir of life for her. In Japanese or Korean legends, the rabbit is making mochi or tteok (both basically pounded rice), so while Americans will say the moon is made of cheese, in Japan it is made of mochi, or rice.

Ok the rabbit is pounding rice. The evidence in the picture in front of me makes me think the Jade Emperor said something so offensive to the rabbit that the rabbit is incensed. But I don't want to stir up international enmity over this. There's enough disharmony already, with the moon is made of rice V.s. the moon is made of cheese.

This was refreshing. The guy talking takes from Sci-Fi books, which are more thoughtful than movies, to project scenarios and re-calibrate imagination. Alien themed movies are so trashy this felt like an antidote. He splits his video into sections: xenopsychology, trade, war, and alliance. He never brought a spiritual aspect into the picture though, but who does? I thought this video was really good!

City-Sized Comet Headed Toward Earth 'Grows Horns' After Massive Volcanic Eruption

The exploding comet, known as 12P/Pons–Brooks, is currently approaching its closest point to Earth during its 71-year orbit

http://i.insider.com/64c25e379440b70019270e74?width=1000&format=jpeg
The comet 12P/Pons-Brook (12P) photographed as it gains speed July 26 by the Las Cumbres Observatory

An unusual volcanic comet flying toward the sun appears to have "grown horns" after it exploded, causing it to shine like a small star and shower supercold "magma" into space. It is the first time this comet has been seen erupting in almost 70 years.

http://universemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/12p_20230726_ftnr_miles-copy-800.jpg

http://www.virtualtelescope.eu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/12p_23vs26_july2023_masi.gif?x67073

The comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P), is a cryovolcanic — or cold volcano — comet. Like all other comets, the icy object is made up of a solid nucleus, filled with a mix of ice, dust and gas, and is surrounded by a fuzzy cloud of gas called a coma, which leaks out of the comet's interior. But unlike most other comets, the gas and ice inside 12P's nucleus build up so much that the celestial object can violently explode, shooting out its frosty guts, known as cryomagma, through large cracks in the nucleus's shell.

On July 20, multiple astronomers detected a major outburst from the comet, which suddenly became around 100 times brighter than it usually appears.

Heads Up: Spectacular Double Meteor Shower

Every year in late July, the Earth passes through the debris left by two comets. This year, both meteor showers peak on the same night. A celestial traffic jam may be on tap July 29-30, as two meteor showers combine forces to put on a brilliant sky show. The Delta Aquarids meteor shower and the Alpha Capricornids are set to put on a dazzling display. Together the showers will produce anywhere between 30 and 40 shooting stars per hour under dark skies.

The beautifully quirky roseate spoonbill is a gorgeous pink wading bird with a charming spatulate bill. The color of the spoonbill results from its diet of crabs and shrimp.

Pink Katydid

First described in 1874, pink katydids have inspired more than a century of discussion over the hows and whys of their incredible hue. In 1907, American entomologist and myrmecologist William Morton Wheeler suggested a genetic root to the condition, comparing the state to albinism. Entomologists now believe that Wheeler was right. For the first time, pink katydids became recognized as genetic "mutants" in the scientific literature.

Web-Footed Gecko

Web-footed geckos can thank their strangely translucent, salmon-colored skin for hiding them so well against the reddish sands of the Namib Desert where they live. Additional defense mechanisms include a vocabulary of clicks, squeaks, croaks, and other sounds to scare off potential attackers. Perhaps the strangest thing about this reptile is that it does not have eyelids and must lick its eyeballs to keep them moist.

Orchid Mantis

In 1879, Australian journalist James Hingsley returned from Indonesia with stories of a carnivorous pink orchid that lured butterflies to its petals and ate them alive. As you may have guessed, it wasn't a flower he saw; it was the amazingly deceptive flower-mimicking insect Hymenopus coronatus — the orchid mantis.

And while other animals may camouflage with flowers to hide among and then ambush their prey, the schemes of the orchid mantis are different. They sit out alone on branches or leaves and pose as flowers rather than hiding amongst them.

Sea Stars

There are around 2,000 different species of sea stars, and they come in a range of colors, including pink, which help them camouflage or scare off predators. One can find sea stars living in oceans all over the planet, from tropical habitats to the cold seafloor. Marine scientists have adopted the challenging task of renaming these charming echinoderms "sea stars" instead of the once-common starfish.

This pink and olive green moth—which has the unusual distinction of being named after a mammal, a bird, and an insect—is one of 1,400 species of hawk moths found across the globe. The colors help them attract a mate in the dark, and during the day, they hide among the bright pinks of the blossoms on their favorite foods: willowherbs and fuchsias.

Hawkmoths are the only moths able to hover in front of flowers to feed, like hummingbirds do, and are among the planet's fastest flying insects, reaching speeds of up to 12 miles per hour.

Here, the most charming salamander in all salamanderdom, the pink Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), also known as the Mexican walking fish. They do come in other colors such as white, black, yellow, and green. White axolotls always have pink fringed gills; black axolotls have gills of blue. They never undergo metamorphosis and stay in larval form their entire lives.

Named after the terrestrial flower that is equally showy, the sea anemone comes in a rainbow of dazzling colors, pink being among the loveliest. The color of the sea anemone depends on where they call home. They are carnivorous, can live to be 50 years old, and some can grow as large as 6 feet in width.

Pink Hairy Squat Lobster

Part Dr. Seuss, part arachnophobe's nightmare, this beguiling marine crustacean known as the “pink hairy squat lobster” (Lauriea siagiani) is not a lobster at all. Also called a fairy crab, the "lobster" belongs to the group of crabs called Anomurans and is just a half-inch long. The pink color allows it to camouflage perfectly on the pink giant barrel sponges the squat lobster calls home.

Flamingo

When flamingoes first hatch, they are a drab grey; they develop into glorious shades of peach and coral primarily because of their diet. The red and blue-green algae they eat is chock-full of beta carotene, which contains a reddish-orange pigment, and the mollusks and crustaceans flamingos favor also possess pigment-rich carotenoids. Although flamingoes group in flocks that can number in the hundreds of thousands, they generally mate for life.

The Milky Way’s Disco Ball: Hubble Captures Glittering Globular Cluster in Sagittarius

http://scitechdaily.com/images/Globular-Cluster-NGC-6652.jpg

In a stunning image from the Hubble Space Telescope, the globular cluster NGC 6652 glimmers with the light of countless stars.

The glittering, glitzy contents of the globular cluster NGC 6652 sparkle in this star-studded image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The core of the cluster is suffused with the pale blue light of countless stars, and a handful of particularly bright foreground stars are adorned with crisscrossing diffraction spikes. NGC 6652 lies in our own Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Sagittarius, just under 30,000 light-years from Earth and a mere 6,500 light-years from the Galactic center.

Globular clusters are stable, tightly gravitationally bound clusters containing anywhere between tens of thousands and millions of stars. The intense gravitational attraction between the closely packed stars in globular clusters is what gives these star-studded objects their regular, spherical shape.

Debunking the Bower & Chorley Story: Why Crop Circles Aren't All Hoaxes

A previous version of this video was taken down due to a copyright dispute. This is a re-uploaded, slightly shortened version of that video. In 1991, two British men shocked the world when they confessed to hoaxing all the famous crop circles found in England in recent years. However, a detailed examination of their claims shows that these men could not possibly have started the crop circle phenomenon, and probably had nothing to do with the famous circles in Wiltshire, England, or anywhere else.

The group of three stars that mark the lip of the water-bearer's tipping amphora have all been assigned the name Psi Aquarii, but astronomers use the numerals 1 to 3 to distinguish one from another. All three stars are bright enough to see with your unaided eyes or in binoculars.

For observers at mid-northern latitudes, Jupiter (at lower left) will officially join Saturn in the evening sky starting around Saturday, Aug. 5, when it will start rising just before midnight local time. It will take an hour or so after it rises for the bright planet to clear the rooftops in the east. Hamal and Sheratan, the brightest stars of Aries, Jupiter's home constellation in 2023-24, will be shining above it.

Prof. Robert Temple | The Sirius Mystery Revisited

Published 16th February 2020

Professor Robert Temple presents his groundbreaking research on the Dogon people of Africa. Their symbolism has become one of the most mysterious elements in ethnology because it is based on a star that is impossible to see with the naked eye, Sirius B, the dwarf star companion of the bright and well-known Sirius. Robert shows us the extraordinary knowledge of the Dogons, and expounds his theory on its origin. He also reveals symbolic links between the beliefs of the Dogons and those of the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, China and Sumeria.

Filmed at the Origins Conference, at Rudolf Steiner House, London in November 2014.

j12Ea8Rvn3o

I'm listening to this Earth Ancients interview with Robert Temple. I've not looked very closely at the Sirius Mystery before. I naively assumed the Dogon people were an African race. They arrived in Mali, eventually, from Egypt and the origin of their ancestral familiarity with beings from Sirius was in Egypt. They are really refugees from Egypt and probably bypassed the cultural censorship of the truth by being long lost and forgotten. That's probably why the CIA got so hot and bothered about Temple's book when it's contents reached the attention of their true masters.

SHOW NOTES
Convincing evidence that the Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dogon civilizations were founded by aliens from the Sirius star system who are now ready to return

• Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to suppress

• An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe

• Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in Britain

Publication of The Sirius Mystery in 1976 set the world abuzz with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted, however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.

Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek, to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe.

Robert Temple is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, the Egyptian Exploration Society, the Royal Historical Society, the Institute of Classical Studies, and the Institute of Historical Research. He is the author of nine books, including Conversations with Eternity and The Genius of China. Most recently he and his wife, Olivia, published The Complete Fables of Aesop to international acclaim. He lives in London.

William Shatner Calls UFO Hearings ‘Ridiculous’

http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1eI7Tw.img?w=768&h=509&m=6&x=353&y=152&s=274&d=274

(NewsNation) — Veteran actor and Star Trek legend William Shatner said recent congressional hearings about unidentified aerial phenomena are “ridiculous.”

“You mean, some highly intelligent being goes 10,000 light years with advanced technology, arrives here and hides?” Shatner told NewsNation anchor Elizabeth Vargas. “It doesn’t make any sense.”

Shatner said if extraterrestrial beings could reach Earth, they would make a “big to-do” about it.

"If they’re going to make that journey all the way here, it just beggars the imagination that they would hide and make it, like, ‘Peekaboo, I’m here, no I’m not,’” Shatner said.

The Canadian actor was part of a documentary called “Tear in the Sky” that explored the possibility of UFOs. In 2021, he became the oldest person to fly to space at the age of 90.

Shatner said he learned potential evidence of UFOs out there is “filled with imagination and people’s desire.”

“I mean, what could we want more than to realize that there are other life forms in the universe that have the same yearnings. What’s the universe about? What’s after death? I mean, the monumental questions would abound, and they would be asking the same questions, but they’re not here. If they were, they would make their presence known.”

In a world where the extraordinary and unknown fascinate us, few things stoke the fire of our collective curiosity like the enigmatic subject of Unidentified Flying Objects. On July 20, 2023, two mesmerizing UFO sightings in California had both enthusiasts and skeptics buzzing with excitement and intrigue.

The Solana Beach Enigma

On the warm, quiet evening of July 20, Solana Beach, California, was lit up with an astonishing spectacle that left onlookers in awe. Witnesses reported seeing a breathtaking formation of glowing orbs suspended in the night sky over the popular Del Mar racetrack.

In a perplexing ballet of lights, these multiple orbs remained stationary over the ocean, weaving in and out of various formations. Initially configured in a triangle, they seamlessly morphed into a circle before integrating into a fresh pattern. This mesmerizing dance repeated approximately five times, adding to the cryptic spectacle.

Then, as abruptly as they had appeared, the orbs vanished. Mysteriously, airplanes were subsequently observed returning to the area, raising further questions about this fascinating event.

Laguna Beach’s Floating Cylinder

Just a short distance away, another mysterious event unfolded on the same evening in Laguna Beach. Here, spectators witnessed an array of about ten lights lining up in the serene Californian sky. In an unexpected twist, four lights broke away from the formation, traveling upward and to the right. The remaining lights gradually faded into the darkness, leaving a captivating tableau for observers.

One keen spectator, equipped with high-powered binoculars, reported that the four lights were attached to a large, cylindrical object. This enigmatic cylinder seemed to hover in the sky with no visible means of propulsion, a sight that added another layer of intrigue to this already baffling phenomenon.

A Night to Remember

The UFO sightings in Solana Beach and Laguna Beach on July 20, 2023, have certainly added a new dimension to the UFO discourse. The sightings, both remarkable and unique in their own ways, provide fascinating fodder for enthusiasts, experts, and skeptics alike. As these peculiar events continue to be analyzed and discussed, they remind us that the world – and the skies above – are filled with endless wonders and mysteries yet to be deciphered.

Powerful sun storm knocks out radio transmissions across North America

The sun unleashed its second X-flare in less than three days — and we should brace for more such activity.

A powerful solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America. on Monday (Aug. 7) and prompted space weather forecasters to issue warnings because of energetic particles hitting Earth. The flare, classified as an X1.5, was the 20th X flare — the most potent solar flare category — of the current 11-year solar cycle, which will reach its maximum next year.

Solar flares are energetic flashes of radiation that explode from magnetically dense, cool regions on the sun's surface known as sunspots. Traveling at the speed of light, the photons from these flares arrive at our planet in eight minutes. As the radiation from the flares interacts with particles in Earth's ionosphere, the region of the atmosphere at altitudes between 50 and 400 miles (80 and 650 kilometers), it supercharges them. These changes then affect radio and satellite signals that pass through this region.

Geomagnetic storms produce beautiful aurora displays but can also cause problems to satellite operators as they make Earth's atmosphere swell. In the most severe cases, geomagnetic storms can knock out power grids and telecommunication networks. The upcoming geomagnetic storm could reach a strong G3 level.

Sun blasts out highest-energy radiation ever recorded, raising questions for solar physics

"We thought we had this star figured out, but that's not the case."

In a record-breaking discovery, scientists detected our very own sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — wavelengths of light known to carry the most energy of any other wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. This is quite a big deal as it marks the highest-energy radiation to ever be documented coming from our planet's host star.

Something like 1 trillion electron volts, to be exact. Or not.

It's all thanks to a unique lens on the cosmos called the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory, or HAWC. The specialized observatory is located on the flanks of the Sierra Negra volcano near Puebla, Mexico at an altitude of 4100 meters (13,500 feet).

What an excess of solar gamma rays looks like to the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory Collaboration. (Image credit: HAWC Collaboration)

"After looking at six years' worth of data, out popped this excess of gamma rays," Meher Un Nisa, a postdoctoral research associate at Michigan State University and co-author of a new paper about the findings released Wednesday (Aug. 3), said in a statement. "When we first saw it, we were like, 'We definitely messed this up. The sun cannot be this bright at these energies.'"

Upon deliberation, however, the team realized that such brightness definitely existed — and it was simply due to the sheer amount of gamma rays the sun seemed to be spitting out.

"The sun is more surprising than we knew," Nisa said.

Before you start worrying, no, these rays can't harm us. But what they can do is have a pretty important ripple effect for the future of solar physics. In fact, they have already raised some important questions about the sun, such as what role its magnetic field might play in the newly observed gamma-ray phenomenon.

August 13: Perseid Meteor Shower at its Peak

The Perseids, one of the year’s brightest and most active meteor showers, will be on display from July 17 through August 24, but the best night to watch will be August 13 (and surrounding dates), when the shower is at its peak. Find a dark spot and, just after midnight, look toward the constellation Perseus in the northeastern sky.

The waning crescent Moon should provide a nice dark sky for optimal meteor-watching, and you’ve got a decent chance to see a meteor every minute — or more. As you watch, keep in mind that what you’re seeing are fragments of debris trailing behind Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle as they burn up in Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Perseids Meteor Shower Livestream

https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bannerVT-1.png?x20682

The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight Saturday (Aug. 12), and stargazers can catch the celestial event at its most active online for free.

The Virtual Telescope Project will provide a view of the Perseids' peak using its all-sky camera from its facility in Manciano, Italy. The remote region offers the perfect dark skies in which to see the famed Perseid meteors.

"We will be covering the Perseid meteor shower, sharing it live on the night of its peak online!" said VTP founder and astronomer Gianluca Masi. "This year, the sky conditions will be good, with almost no moon interference. We will be taking images from our facility in Manciano, in the Maremma countryside, under one of the darkest skies in Italy."

The free online live stream will start at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday (01:30 GMT on Sunday).

There's an estimated 2,000 Erdstall tunnels in Europe with 500 in Austria & 700 in Bavaria. It's unknown who build them or when. Speculation puts their construction during the Middle Ages or even the stone age. There are myths that small creatures inhabited them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAm_MyKd0V8

Thank you for this, Inversion.

I had never heard of these tunnels before and found the name intriguing, so I had a closer look.

The word Erdstall is a German word. Literally translated it means earth-stable which is slightly misleading because no animals could be kept in there because they would have died due to lack of oxygen. Yes, local folklore in Bavaria suggests they had something to do with gnomes.

Nobody knows for sure what they were made for and used as and most assumptions are flawed as pointed out in this video.

What I found most intriguing is something that is not mentioned in this video.
The church ordered these earth stables to be closed permanently and I wonder why ...

In this book Radu Cinamar wrote she left the cave through a solid wall. Maybe there's similar properties to the caves in Europe.

Book #2 Transylvanian Moonrise: The Secret Initiation in the Mysterious Land of the Gods by Radu

From there the four of them traveled by Jeep to the Romanian mountains. While walking through a field Repa morphed the reality around them and they were translated to a remote region of Tibet. They walked to a vertical rock face and an opening appeared. Repa and the yidam entered first then called in Radu and Elinor. The goddess Machandi walked/floated into the room and she radiated light and had a very powerful auric field. She had blue skin and intense yellow eyes. Radu described her beauty as profound and was so enamored he dreaded separating from her. She approached him and touched the top of his head which caused an awakening. She showed him a box containing a scroll from 1,200 years ago that was part of a master global plan. They returned to Romania the same way they arrived. Repa later told him she was the companion of Rama and Sita 9,000 years ago when they retreated to the mountain forests. That’s depicted in the Hindu epic Ramayana. She’s now part of a galactic hierarchy.

Book #5 Inside the Earth: The Second Tunnel by Radu Cinamar

Cezar and Radu travel to the Bucegi site to take the second tunnel which is branched near the entrance. They didn’t need a specialized vehicle because they could just walk there. They walk through a spatial distortion and end in an area where two guards are waiting. They are met by a third man named Dryn who escorts them to an advanced elevator. They end up at the subterranean city called Tomassis which is a mirror to an actual city on the surface called Tomis. They travel via levitating plates to a beach area. Cezar goes with Dryn for a meeting about the alloy they use in the floating devices for a possible technology exchange. Radu is met by a female who walks him to a transport vehicle akin to a train. She explains it uses magnetic fields and ultrasound to pass through solid rock without interacting with it. They enter the vehicle and travel to another city closer to the surface called Apellos. They sat and watched a holographic display of the history of that city. After the Romans defeated the Dacians 2,000 years ago some moved to Apellos which their priests had knowledge of. They have no agriculture and need supplies sent from the surface. A magnetic transfer system is used similar to teleportation.

Three triangles and one quadrilateral. Charles the controversial forum powerhouse said the triangle craft could interlock to make one large triangle from many craft. So the that's why I see the quadrilateral is also two triangles stuck back to back. I have not spent much time looking into TR3B's so forgive me sharing my assumption: I always thought they had a very human aesthetic and so are piloted humans? I wonder if we sometimes see rich kids joy-riding? More than one like in this video though makes me think it could be military-esk budget type stuff.

That was interesting . . . . and noted that they were flying grouped but not in formation, and wonder what the significance of that is, if any. Also, from another UFO video (so many that I can't remember which one), there was some concern about these craft being piloted by rogue element of military and whether they could impose a unified but unilateral threat if challenged.

Tuesday, Aug. 15: Milky Way star clusters (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hcNUHGwvZAuJjUVcZq6pv3-970-80.jpg

With the moon out of the sky, the extra-dark evenings will be ideal to explore the countless knots and clumps of stars distributed along the Milky Way, many of which were included in Charles Messier's list of the sky's best deep sky objects.

Particularly good clusters include Messier 39 and the Cooling Tower Cluster (Messier 29) in Cygnus, the Wild Duck cluster (Messier 11) and Messier 26 in Scutum, the Sagittarius Star Cloud (Messier 24), and Ptolemy's Cluster (Messier 7) and the Butterfly Cluster (Messier 6) in Scorpius.

Wednesday, Aug. 16: New Moon (at 5:38 a.m. EDT)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EJP6GSL7zkCLUvHZoDAqz3-970-80.jpg

On Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 5:38 a.m. EDT, 2:38 a.m. PDT, or 09:38 GMT, the moon will officially reach its new moon phase. At that time our natural satellite will be located in Leo, 4.3 degrees northeast of the sun.

While new, the moon is traveling in space between Earth and the sun. Since sunlight can only illuminate the far side of the moon, and the moon is in the same region of the sky as the bright sun, it becomes completely hidden from view from anywhere on Earth for about a day (unless there's a solar eclipse, as there will be on Oct. 14).

UFOs Over Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England, June 20, 2023

Not Chinese lanterns ... parachute flares ...?

Eyewitness:

"It was summer solstice. I was on my way to Stonehenge to celebrate summer solstice. I was about 4 miles away, in Wiltshire. When I saw lights appearing in the sky. The lights then formed a perfect triangle shape in the sky. It looked stationary, but from the distance I couldn’t tell. On the video there are three. At one point there were 5. They’d appear as if fallen through the clouds and when the went they just disappeared. I’ve no explanation as to how."

This was a fascinating listen. David Sereda seems to have been pushed out of view lately, as the new wave disclosure agenda pack jostle and flip the script.

Bruv it's three lights on one triangle init. Might be unidentified but look closer, its humans winding up other humans fella. I'd score the lightshow 3 out of 10; the same old 'one two or three lights' trick... hardly the sun dancing round the sky is it. Their fake disclosure trick might be exciting for some but all I see is the same old light trickery, so blatantly repeated it smells like a standard operating procedure ;)

Lots of interesting clips in there, so if you have 24 minutes to spare, you might find this quite interesting too (about cloning, about population control, about putting mrna into food, about a lawsuit against Coca Cola that nobody gets to hear about etc etc.
I wonder if this will get censored soon.

That was weird but im sure the bloke who filmed this was sitting in a car looking out the front windscreen, the cars headlights give this away, so im just saying it could be a reflection on the glass.
Im thinking something like a hollow cylinder/tube made of shiny metal about the size of a pencil.
Put it into a hole in a wooden block to hold it in place and then use fingers to slowly rotate it.
The gap in the rotating ring could easily done by using a black texta on a small part of the ring to stop any reflection in that area.

If im wrong then this is a good find.

Constellation Aquila

http://starwalk.space/gallery/images/august-2019-aquila-constellation/1024x576.jpg

Look halfway up the southeastern sky in early August evenings, and you’ll easily spot the bright, white star Altair, sitting at the bottom corner of the Summer Triangle asterism. Altair is the brightest star in the venerable constellation of Aquila (the Eagle) and marks the great bird’s head. The eagle’s body and tail extend downwards to the right, more or less following the Milky Way. The wings extend upwards and downwards.

Altair is Arabic for “flying eagle”. The star itself is a yellow-white star about ten times larger than our Sun, and only a mere 17 light-years away, making it the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. At 10 hours, its rotation rate is one of the fastest known, spinning so rapidly that the star has an oblate shape (wider at the equator than it is tall). In the sky, Altair is symmetrically flanked by two small stars named Alshain and Tarazed. The trio span about three finger widths, or 5° of separation. Tarazed is a cool, orange giant star located 460 light-years away and shining at almost 3,000 times the luminosity of our Sun.

The rest of Aquila’s stars are dimmer, but nonetheless visible to unaided eyes. Almost a fist’s diameter to the lower right of Altair is the star Delta Aquilae, representing the body. The upper wing has the star Okab at the tip. The lower wing is formed by two widely spaced stars named Almizan I and Almizan II. The eagle’s tail is marked by a pair of small stars named Al Thalimain, “the two ostriches”.

http://chandra.harvard.edu/graphics/constellations/aquila_hev2.jpg

In Greek mythology, the constellation had been associated with Aetos Dios – the eagle that carried the thunderbolts of the supreme god, Zeus. The eagle was also sent by Zeus to carry the shepherd boy Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Ganymede is often associated with the constellation of Aquarius.

Space Race! Chandrayaan-3 VS. Luna-25!

India's third lunar mission is inching closer to the Moon's little-explored south pole where it aims to set down a lander and rover on 23 August. On Thursday, the lander detached from the propulsion module, which carried it close to the Moon, beginning its last phase of the mission.

Chandrayaan-3, however, may not be the first to land on the south pole if it's beaten by a new Russian mission. Luna-25, launched last week, is expected to land a day or two earlier.

If the Russian spacecraft - its first Moon mission since 1976 - is successful in making a soft landing on 21st or 22nd August as planned, Chandrayaan-3 will have to settle for being a close second. India, however, will still be only the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon after the US, the former Soviet Union and China.

Russia launched Luna-25 on 10 August, but propelled by the more powerful Soyuz rocket, it escaped the Earth's gravity in a short time and reached lunar orbit on Wednesday.

Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July, but it went around the Earth a few times before entering the lunar orbit on 5 August. The spacecraft has been orbiting the Moon since then, while preparing for the landing.

Nasa Asteroid Strike Unleashes Boulder Storm ‘as deadly as Hiroshima’

A storm of boulders “as deadly as Hiroshima” was accidentally unleashed by Nasa during tests to change the trajectory of an asteroid, scientists have found.

https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/xgXZOeJjbZGhpMxW5QW2HQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0xNDk2O2NmPXdlYnA-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_telegraph_258/d20c3fb046eb7c15671757c2366a8e7a
Asteroid collision (center) - Space rocks (circled)

Last September, the agency crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in the first planetary defence experiment aimed at finding ways to protect humanity from an extinction-level event.

Now astronomers have found that although the impact succeeded in knocking Dimorphos slightly off course, it also dislodged 37 boulders, which are currently zipping through space at 13,000mph. Experts said it showed that deflection strategies could have unintended consequences that leave smaller rocks on a collision course with Earth.

David Jewitt, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UCLA, said: “The boulder swarm is like a cloud of shrapnel expanding from a hand grenade. Because those big boulders basically share the speed of the targeted asteroid, they’re capable of doing their own damage.”

The boulders, which were spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope, range in size from three feet to 22ft across. Prof Jewitt said that given the high speed of a typical impact, a 15ft boulder hitting Earth would deliver as much energy as the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during the Second World War.

The Sky Tonight

Sunday, Aug. 20: Small constellations on high (evening)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pi58MU9dkc24taYuLEEzi3-970-80.jpg

On mid-August evenings, four small constellations sit high the southeastern sky, below the very bright star Vega. The easiest one to see is Delphinus, the Dolphin, which is composed of four medium-bright stars forming a small elongated diamond that joins to a straight tail star extending to the lower right (or celestial southwest).

Equuleus, the Little Horse is positioned about a fist's diameter below Delphinus. Diminutive Equuleus is the second to last constellation by size, after Crux, the Southern Cross. Sitting a generous fist's width above Delphinus is the next smallest constellation by area, Sagitta, the Arrow. And sweeping a palm's width higher will bring you to the stars of Vulpecula, the Fox. Except for the slightly larger fox, each of these small constellations will fit within the field of view of binoculars (orange circle).

After dusk in the third week of August, the distinctive constellation of Scorpius, the Scorpion reaches its peak elevation over the southern horizon. The constellation's brightest star is orange-tinted Antares, the "Rival of Mars". Several medium-bright, white stars arranged in a roughly vertical line to the west of Antares mark the creature's claws on modern sky charts; however, the major stars of neighboring Libra used to perform that role. The rest of the scorpion extends to the south, curling eastward into the Milky Way, and terminating with the bright double star Shaula, which marks its poisonous stinger.

Russian Spacecraft Luna-25 Has Crashed Into the Moon

MOSCOW – Russia's robot lander the Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after it had spun into uncontrolled orbit, the country’s space agency Roscosmos reported on Sunday.

"The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon," read a statement from the agency.

Roscosmos said it lost contact with the spacecraft Saturday after it ran into trouble while preparing for its pre-landing orbit after reporting an "abnormal situation" that specialists were analyzing.

"During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters," Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.

The spacecraft was scheduled to land on the moon's south pole Monday, racing to land on Earth’s satellite ahead of an Indian spacecraft (now in lunar orbit and scheduled to land in days).

The lunar south pole is of particular interest to scientists, who believe the permanently shadowed polar craters may contain water. The frozen water in the rocks could be transformed by future explorers into air and rocket fuel.

Discovery: Complex Engineering by Neolithic People

http://www.ancient-origins.net/sites/default/files/field/image/oldest-drainage-system-China.jpg

According to a study published in the journal Nature Water, Neolithic people living in China were capable of complex engineering feats without the need for a centralised state authority.

The discovery of a network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at the walled site of Pingliangtai, has revealed new insights into how people during the Neolithic period were able to manage and redirect water.

Situated on the Upper Huai River Plain on the vast Huanghuaihai Plain, the area’s climate 4,000 years ago was marked by big seasonal climate shifts, where summer monsoons would commonly dump half a metre of rain on the region monthly.

The people of Pingliangtai constructed an advanced drainage system with interconnected ceramic water pipes – strategically positioned along roads and walls to redirect the rainwater. The sophisticated arrangement of these pipes showcases an advanced level of central planning, despite archaeologists finding little evidence of social hierarchy.

The construction of the drainage system, which included a vast network of interconnected ditches and a huge moat in addition to the underground pipes, is believed to have taken place between 2,100 and 1,900 BC.

Dr Yijie Zhuang (UCL Institute of Archaeology), senior and corresponding author on the paper, said: “The discovery of this ceramic water pipe network is remarkable because the people of Pingliangtai were able to build and maintain this advanced water management system with stone age tools and without the organisation of a central power structure. This system would have required a significant level of community-wide planning and coordination, and it was all done communally.”

Co-author Dr Hai Zhang of Peking University said: “Pingliangtai is an extraordinary site. The network of water pipes shows an advanced understanding of engineering and hydrology that was previously only thought possible in more hierarchical societies.”

Enter Bones

Dan Sherman: 'Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny'

http://www.astralgia.com/webportfolio/omnimoment/archives/chats/bios/gifs/dshermbk.gif

Dan Sherman's book, Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny, is about two aliens he interfaced with while working for the NSA. The first he called “Spock”. The second: “Bones”. Excerpted from the free e-book, available here. (https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vida_alien/abbla/abbla.htm#menu)

I’ve taken the liberty of consolidating some of the things I remember discussing with Bones, in no particular order:

• Time -
I learned that time, as we know it, does not have the same meaning for them. They still age as we do, but they are not as bound by the physics of time as we currently are. Of course, this would be an obvious assumption for anyone who follows any amount of science fiction. I have always been fascinated with time, therefore it was one question I asked on multiple occasions. Their means of travel across vast distances is heavily dependent on the manipulation of time but not as we perceive it. I asked if they can travel through time: for example - can they go backward or forward in time? He told me that it was not possible to witness a reality that occurred in some other time but the present. In order to go back in time, one must assume that there exists a reference point from which to measure backward or forward. This is an impossibility. Essentially, they weren’t able to travel through time but around time and from time. I never really understood what Bones meant by this.

• Religion -
Being brought up in the Christian faith, I naturally had questions about the meaning of faith and the institution of religion in general. One question I remember quite clearly was when I asked if they had a soul. As was usually the case, his answer was quite curious. Perhaps someone reading this will be able to understand it better than I. He said that any entity that realizes its own existence has intellect and therefore must have a soul. We have been created from the same oneness (my interpretation), and out of that creation came intellect and non-intellect. These are the only forms of life in the universe. We were both (them and us), along with many others, a part of the intellectual aspect creation.

When I asked if there was a God, he answered that it was not his place to answer that question. But he said something like “the question you ask answers itself.” It was all kind of obscure to place any concrete meaning to. Based on what he was saying at the time though, I do remember coming to the conclusion that there must be a “God” that we all shared.

• How long they’ve been visiting -
He said they have been visiting us (again, he used the term water-vessels or some such equivalent) for a very long time. I really didn’t understand the terms he was using for time when describing to me how long they’ve been here, but I remember thinking it must have been a long time. He said they had visited cultures from time to time throughout our history. None of the direct contacts they’ve initiated turned out well. This is one of the reasons they are not “common” (my interpretation of another unfamiliar term) visitors today. However, he said that it was much easier to visit our people in the past than it is today. They revealed themselves on many occasions in the past and even contributed to certain societies and their technologies. They learned much from the engaging of other people. But since our technology has leap-frogged, the risk of revealing themselves on a worldwide scale, at this time, is not a worthwhile endeavor.

My own readings have led me to believe they most likely impacted the Incan, Mayan and Egyptian societies. I think these would be obvious assumptions, if you knew aliens exist and visited past cultures. It is also very possible that the lost continent of Atlantis is a remnant civilization that was effected by aliens. I never asked this question, although now I wish I had.

• Interbreeding -
I stumbled upon a piece of information during one comm but I can’t quite remember what the line of conversation was about. I do remember thinking that they had interbred with humans at one time. Maybe it was another species of aliens... I can’t remember. But I feel it is quite possible there are people living today that are descendants of “inter-terrestrial” parings. My suspicions are, if this is true, that the Basque people of the mountains between Spain and France are the most likely candidates in the search for their progeny. I have read that the Basque language has no identifiable roots and that they are also genetically different than all other humans on the planet. As far as I can tell, from the scientific community, they are a human anomaly. This could explain why.

• Other intelligent life -
According to Bones, there is a vast number of other “intelligences” in the Universe. I got the feeling when I asked this that he felt it was a dumb question.

• Sexes -
I had asked at one time if they had two sexes like we do. The answer was yes. It seems they procreate as well, but not in the same manner. I didn’t go any further in my questioning, and he didn’t volunteer any more information.

• Mode of travel -
When he answered this question, I didn’t understand half of what he was telling me and couldn’t translate it if I did. What little I got from the conversation was that they somehow use time and electromagnetic energy as a source of propulsion. (There were times when I regretted not listening more closely in Physics 101.)

• Life span -
Their life span is similar to ours but I was not able to understand the time measurements he was using. I always had a hard time understanding any aspect of time when it was discussed in reference to a timetable. Bones made me understand that their life spans are similar to ours, perhaps even shorter.

• Energy -
When asked about energy and what form of it they use, he didn’t mention their energy source but did speak about our energy sources. He told me that our sun was very unique and that someday we would understand how it really worked and how we could utilize the same methods they use but on a smaller scale. He said our scientists have just begun to understand how the sun can be used as a source of energy for our future needs.

• Project Preserve Destiny -
When queried on this subject, Bones would almost always sign off. There were two occasions he didn’t though. Once he answered the question of how many countries were involved with it. His answer was less than exact but it was an answer. He said, “more than one.”

The other question was concerning the future event that I had been told this whole project was about. He said only that “the Earth is in its geological infancy and that we should expect much change.” With that he signed off. What did he mean by this? Was it just a ruse, and the project was for something else? I’ll probably never know.

A LARGE SUNSPOT IS EMERGING

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover saw it first. Last week, the rover's MASTCAM spotted a large sunspot crossing the farside of the Sun. Now, August 22, it is emerging over the Sun's eastern limb where we can see it from Earth. The new sunspot seems to be connected to another sunspot across the Sun's equator.

Recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, this shows two horn-like plumes of plasma leaping up from the new sunspot and, simultaneously, sunspot AR3413. A bridge of magnetism linking the two active regions could coordinate their explosions as they turn toward Earth this week, doubling their impact on our planet. Stay tuned!

Its Hard to Land on the Moon

http://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/d5/3f/59d53fccded874818d0f2ca779a477fb.png

• In August 1958, some six months after the launch of the first U.S. satellite, the Air Force tried to launch a probe on a flyby mission to the Moon. The Pioneer-1 mission failed, so the Air Force tried again in September (NASA was still brand-new in 1958, having been founded earlier in the year). The second mission also failed, as did the next two attempts. The Soviet Union tried similar missions at the same time, also experiencing a stream of defeats.

• Whereas the early Pioneer missions were attempts to simply reach the Moon’s vicinity, NASA’s Ranger missions of the 1960s were efforts to study the Moon with probes and then deliberately crash them onto the lunar surface. Ranger missions 1 through 6 were unsuccessful. The Ranger 7 mission finally set things straight, with the probe capturing more than 4,300 photos and crashing into Mare Cognitum.

• NASA’s Surveyor probes are famous for being the first U.S. spacecraft to land safely on the lunar surface, but two of the seven missions were complete write-offs. Surveyor 2 crashed on the Moon in September 1966 when its engine failed to ignite, while Surveyor 4 crashed in July 1967 following the loss of radio communications.

• The Soviet Union successfully launched its Zond 6 spacecraft on November 10, 1968, in a mission to perform a lunar flyby and a subsequent return to Earth. Zond 6 managed to circle the far side of the Moon, but the mission experienced a host of problems, including a re-entry that resulted in the complete loss of the vehicle on the plains of Kazakhstan.

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tKxLA4uFSow/hqdefault.jpg

• The Soviet Union’s long-running Luna program involved dozens of missions to the Moon, not all of them successful. Luna experiments, of which 46 were organized, involved either orbiters or landers, which were used to collect scientific data about the Moon and perform preliminary work for crewed missions that never happened. Running from 1958 to 1976, Luna missions achieved many firsts, including the first flyby of the Moon and the first soft landing, but for each successful mission, the program endured around two failures.

One notable failure was Luna 15, which attempted a lunar landing and sample return mission. The probe unexpectedly crashed on the lunar surface on July 21, 1969—the same day that NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon.

Its Hard to Land on the Moon

• Like Zond 6, NASA’s Apollo 13 mission can be considered a successful failure. The third Apollo lunar landing attempt had to be aborted following the rupture of a service module oxygen tank two days into the mission. Astronauts Jim Lovell (“Houston, we have a problem.”), Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970.

• As part of China’s Chang’e 4 mission to the Moon, two microsatellites, Longjiang-1 and Longjiang-2, were launched in May 2018 on missions to conduct ultra long-wave astronomical observations in lunar orbit. Longjiang-2 reached its destination, but Longjiang-1 experienced problems that prevented it from leaving Earth orbit.

• In 2019, Israel attempted to become just the fourth country to land a functioning probe on the Moon, joining the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. Sadly, it did not happen, as the Beresheet probe crashed during its attempted landing on April 11, 2019.

• In an echo of the Beresheet mishap, India failed to land its Vikram lander on the Moon in September 2019. The probe failed to slow during descent, causing it to hit the surface at speeds reaching 110 miles per hour (180 km/hr).

• When NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket flew for the first time in November 2022, it delivered a batch of ten low-cost cubesats to space, in addition to the uncrewed Orion capsule. OMOTENASHI, designed by Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), was supposed to attempt a semi-hard lunar landing using solid rocket motors, but the space agency was unable to establish communication with probe after launch.

• Problems with NASA’s Lunar Flashlight emerged shortly after its launch in December 2022. Obstructed fuel lines led to thruster troubles, which prevented the water-hunting probe from entering into its planned halo orbit around the Moon. Not a total loss, as it is still functioning, but on a different mission.

• Tokyo-based company ispace hoped to make history as the first commercial venture to land a lander on the Moon, but it wasn’t meant to be. Following a four-month journey to the Moon, the Hakuto-R M1 lander crashed onto the lunar surface on April 25, 2023.

The CIA's Secret Mind Control Experiments on Charles Manson | Tom O'Neill

In 1999, entertainment reporter Tom O'Neill accepted a three-month assignment from a film magazine to write a story about how the infamous Charles Manson Tate–LaBianca murders that changed Hollywood. Tom missed his deadline but continued to investigate the murders, falling down a 20 year investigative rabbit hole that birthed his new book “CHAOS” which is the product of those two decades of meticulous research, hundreds of interviews, and falling-outs with publishers that led to financial and legal repercussions. Tom’s book, 'Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties' presents his research into the background and motives for the Tate–LaBianca murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969. The evidence Tom has uncovered blows massive holes in the official narrative of the Charles Manson story and exposes corruption, & cover ups, and Manson’s connection to the CIA’s MK Ultra, LSD testing, & psychological warfare mind control programs. Toms book is the holy grail of true crime and on this episode Tom tells some shocking stories that had to be left out of the book, including a hilarious story about getting a call from Marilyn Manson.

Amazing Fireball Over Morocco Aug 20 // Impresionante Bola de Fuego Sobre Marruecos (20 Agosto)

The superb fireball in this video was recorded from Spain on August 20, at 3:56 local time (equivalent to 1:56 universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a space rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 61,000 km/h and overflew Morocco. It began at an altitude of about 97 km over the locality of Ibouhjarene, moved southeast, and ended at a height of around 31 km over the locality of Beni Oukil.

This design from 1882 was built by the Carmagnolle brothers of Marseilles, France. The suit provided more movement than anything that came before it with its 22 joints. The helmet had 25 individual 2-inch glass viewing ports which were spaced out at the same distance of the human eye. Unfortunately, it leaked like a sieve, the suit weighed just over 800 pounds and, as we know now, things didn't work out.

The Astrobee Robotic Free-Flyers Continue Buzzing on the ISS

http://scitechdaily.com/images/Astrobees-on-Space-Station.gif

In 2019, a pair of robots were launched to the International Space Station (ISS) to help pave the way for the future of robotics and autonomous systems in space. Those pioneers were Honey and Bumble, who were soon joined by a third companion called Queen, and together they make up the Astrobee free-flying robotic system. Robots like the Astrobees are essential components of NASA’s Artemis mission to deliver humans back to the Moon, before traveling to Mars and beyond.

“There’s a reason so many science fiction stories have a beloved robot alongside the human heroes – we know we can’t explore space alone,” said Jose Benavides, the Astrobee Facilities Project Manager at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “We’re showing that humans and robotic systems can collaborate and support powerful science and engineering beyond Earth.”

Unbelievable Triangle-Shaped UFO Sighting Over Coppercliff, Ontario

Captured on August 28, 2023, this jaw-dropping footage shows a massive, triangle-shaped UFO hovering over Coppercliff, Ontario, featuring stunning green and red spinning lights.

Is Coppercliff a Hotspot for UFO Sightings?

Coppercliff, located in the Greater Sudbury area, is no stranger to odd phenomena. The town’s proximity to large bodies of water like Ramsey Lake and vast forests has made it a somewhat frequent location for reports of unidentified flying objects in years past. While some attribute these sightings to military tests or natural atmospheric conditions, others believe that something far more mysterious is at play.

Why This UFO Sighting Stands Out?

1. Unusual Shape: The triangle shape is not typical for standard aircraft or drones, marking it as a unique UFO sighting.
2. Size Matters: Eyewitness reports suggest the UFO was the size of an apartment building. That’s not something you can easily write off!
3. Colorful Display: The green and red spinning lights add a layer of complexity that’s unlike any conventional aircraft lighting systems.

September: The Andromeda Galaxy (all month)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/58m4vZgnrUdCTcNF8iWvw4-970-80.jpg

September evenings feature the Andromeda Galaxy, which is already climbing the northeastern sky after dusk. This large spiral galaxy, also designated Messier 31 (or M31) and NGC 224, is the closest large galaxy to us — at a distance of "only" 2.5 million light years.

Under dark skies, the galaxy can be seen with unaided eyes as a faint smudge located 1.4 fist diameters to the left (or 14 degrees to the celestial northeast) of Alpheratz, the star that forms the left-hand (northwestern) corner of the square of Pegasus. The three highest (westernmost) stars of Cassiopeia, Caph, Shedar, and Navi (Gamma Cas), also conveniently form a triangle that points towards M31.

Sunday, Sept. 3: Gibbous moon joins bright Jupiter (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/46CZqzitLnnVo2VL8ZAu55-970-80.jpg

About half an hour after the bright gibbous moon rises in the east on Sunday night, Sept. 3, the brilliant planet Jupiter will rise to join it. The pair will cross the sky through the night and shine high in the southwestern sky before sunrise.

Hour by hour, the Moon's easterly orbital motion (green line) will carry it closer to Jupiter, and the diurnal rotation of the sky will lift the planet higher than the moon. By Monday, the Moon will have hopped east to shine on Jupiter's left (or celestial northeast).

Monday, Sept. 4: Jupiter stands still (overnight)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YemKoxvTXp9ceMGJoUHVC5-970-80.jpg

On Monday, Sept. 4, the eastward prograde motion of the planet Jupiter across the stars of southeastern Aries will slow to a stop. After tonight, Jupiter will commence a westward retrograde loop that will last until early January (red path). The planet's bright, white dot will be shining in the lower part of the eastern sky in late evening.

Every Year, Dozens of Female Hammerhead Sharks Mysteriously Convene Under the Full Moon

Every austral summer, Rangiroa and Tikehau atolls in French Polynesia host a mysterious assembly of female great hammerhead sharks - typically a solitary species.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/X9tZEEaae92X9c6hSq3y5E-970-80.jpg

An unusual, all-female assembly of great hammerhead sharks has been gathering in the tropical waters of French Polynesia every summer for over a decade, with numbers peaking around the full moon, scientists have discovered.

These critically endangered sharks convene during the austral summer, between December and March, around openings in two neighboring atolls — Rangiroa and Tikehau — in the Tuamotu archipelago. An atoll is a ring-shaped island or coral reef enclosing a lagoon that forms when land erodes and sinks below the ocean surface.

In the summers of 2020 and 2021, researchers recorded 54 female great hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna mokarran) and one whose sex could not be determined at the two atolls, which are 9 miles (15 kilometers) apart.

Great hammerhead sharks are a solitary species, so the high number of females sighted at the same time around Rangiroa and Tikehau atolls indicates the area is an aggregation site, according to the study. The sharks likely have no relationship to each other but are drawn there by external factors that appear to be linked to the lunar cycle and the presence of ocellated eagle rays (Aetobatus ocellatus), the study found.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QcWgXGPoquJRGLPU9ByJgE-970-80.jpg

The number of sharks peaked in the days shortly before and after a full moon during both summers — perhaps because the increased moonlight enhanced their ability to hunt around the atolls at night, the researchers suggested. The sharks may also have responded to changes in Earth's geomagnetic field as the moon waxes and wanes.

SpaceX Sends 22 New Starlink Satellites Into Orbit in 60th Launch of 2023

http://www.spxdaily.com/images-hg/spacex-falcon-9-starlink-6-13-launch-trail-candj-hg.jpg

Miami FL – Twenty-two new Starlink Internet satellites started orbiting the Earth after a successful launch by SpaceX late Thursday night from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The satellites, part of the constellation being created by SpaceX to provide Internet access even in the most remote locations on the globe, were taken into space by the workhorse Falcon 9 rocket at 10:21 p.m. EDT.

The launch was SpaceX's 60th blastoff of the year, one shy of its own record of 61 set by the private space agency that was set just last year.

On Aug. 27, SpaceX launched its 5,000th Starlink satellites into orbit after sending 22 into space that night. That rocket also took off from the Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

They involve a wide variety of humanoid figures, and many are multiple witness cases. Almost all of them involve some form of hard evidence such as landing traces, animal reactions, electromagnetic disturbances, psychic effects and physiological reactions. Some include government involvement and even disturbing threats from apparent men in black. As usual, Mr Dennett provides photos, dox, and anything else he can find.

Space Junk in Earth & Moon Orbit Increasing

− But Nobody's in Charge of Cleaning Up

There's a lot of trash on the Moon right now – including nearly 100 bags of human waste – and with countries around the globe traveling to the Moon, there's going to be a lot more, both on the lunar surface and in Earth's orbit.

In August 2023, Russia's Luna-25 probe crashed into the Moon's surface, while India's Chandrayann-3 mission successfully landed in the southern polar region, making India the fourth country to land on the Moon.

With more countries landing on the Moon, people back on Earth will have to think about what happens to all the landers, waste and miscellaneous debris left on the lunar surface and in orbit.

I'm a professor of astronomy who has written a book about the future of space travel, articles about our future off-Earth, conflict in space, space congestion and the ethics of space exploration. Like many other space experts, I'm concerned about the lack of governance around space debris.

Space is getting crowded - Most satellites "non-operational"

Orbital Debris 1960 - 2020

(0:49)
0Aj2lmQBSAg
People think of space as vast and empty, but the near-Earth environment is starting to get crowded. As many as 100 lunar missions are planned over the next decade by governments and private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Near-Earth orbit is even more congested than the space between Earth and the Moon. It's from 100 to 500 miles straight up, compared with 240,000 miles to the Moon. Currently there are nearly 7,700 satellites within a few hundred miles of the Earth. That number could grow to several hundred thousand by 2027. Many of these satellites will be used to deliver internet to developing countries or to monitor agriculture and climate on Earth. Companies like SpaceX have dramatically lowered launch costs, driving this wave of activity.

"It's going to be like an interstate highway, at rush hour in a snowstorm, with everyone driving much too fast," said space launch expert Johnathan McDowell.

Nobody is in charge up there

The United Nations Outer Space Treaty of 1967 says that no country can "own" the Moon or any part of it, and that celestial bodies should only be used for peaceful purposes. But the treaty is mute about companies and individuals, and it says nothing about how space resources can and can't be used.

The United Nations Moon Agreement of 1979 held that the Moon and its natural resources are the common heritage of humanity. However, the United States, Russia and China never signed it, and in 2016 the U.S. Congress created a law that unleashed the American commercial space industry with very few restrictions.

Because of its lack of regulation, space junk is an example of a "tragedy of the commons," where many interests have access to a common resource, and it may become depleted and unusable to everyone, because no interest can stop another from overexploiting the resource.

NASA has created and signed the Artemis Accords, broad but nonbinding principles for cooperating peacefully in space. They have been signed by 28 countries, but the list does not include China or Russia. Private companies are not party to the accords either, and some space entrepreneurs have deep pockets and big ambitions.

The lack of regulation and the current gold rush approach to space exploration mean that space junk and waste will continue to accumulate, as will the related problems and dangers.

How to clean up our space waste

From orbit to junkyard: For over 50 years we’ve been rocketing more and more objects into low Earth orbit. That could soon turn another environment into an unusable junkyard of space waste. With increasing reliance on satellites, outer space needs urgent attention and cleanup solutions. Reporter: Amelia Hemphill.

Incoming: Comet Nishimura (C/2023 P1)

www.spaceweather.com

Comet Nishimura is plunging toward the sun for a close encounter inside the orbit of Mercury on Sept. 17th. Increasing heat is causing it to brighten rapidly. Latest estimates of the comet's brightness place it at magnitude +4.5.

"This is a 4-second exposure (ISO 1600) from the Cabreja Volcano in Vega de San Mateo on Gran Canaria Island," says photographer Frank A. Rodriguez. "What a nice comet!"

Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 Fragments by M. Mutchler and Z. Levay

"Periodic comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 has broken up at least twice! A cosmic souffle of ice and dust left over from the early solar system, this comet was first seen to split into several large pieces during the close-in part of its orbit in 1995! However, in the 2006 passage, it disintegrated into dozens of fragments that stretched several degrees across the sky! Since comets are relatively fragile, stresses from heat, gravity and outgassing, for example, could be responsible for their tendency to break up in such a spectacular fashion when they near the hot Sun! The Hubble Space Telescope recorded, in 2006, the featured sharp view of prolific Fragment B, itself trailing a multitude of smaller pieces, each with its own cometary coma and tail! The picture spans over 3,000 kilometers at the comet's distance of 32 million kilometers from planet Earth! Have a great day, everyone, and I'll see you in class!"

One of the Longest Dinosaur Tracks in the World Revealed by Drought in Texas

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes dinosaur tracks.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RnPsBV9uDEpPFb9rM5oxTc-970-80.jpg

An ongoing drought has revealed about 70 dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas.

The footprints, which date back about 110 million years, had been hidden under water and mud in the Paluxy River, which cuts through the state park, according to Houston-based Chron.com.

State Park officials think that the tracks, found in what is known as the state park's Ball Room site, belonged to two different species of dinosaurs. The three-toed tracks were likely from the giant carnivore Acrocanthosaurus, while the "elephant-looking" footprints were stomped into the ground by a massive long-necked Sauroposeidon.

Acrocanthosaurus was one of North America's largest predators during the Early Cretaceous period (145 million to 101 million years ago), with a length of about 40 feet (12 meters). Yet the long-necked Sauroposeidon, a genus of sauropod, dwarfed it, stretching approximately 100 feet (30 m) long and weighing a whopping 110,000 pounds (50 metric tons).

"This is not normal for us, but due to two consecutive years of high temps and drought conditions it has given us the opportunity to uncover new tracks," Paul Baker, retail manager at the Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park, said. "Once we receive a decent rain most of the tracks will be covered up again."

UFOs Over Northwest Las Vegas, Nevada | 7-18-2023 | UFO Sighting News

Eyewitness:

"I went up to our rooftop deck. We are in Northwest Las Vegas just a few blocks from the geographic formation called "Lone Mountain". I have reported 2 or 3 other sightings from our rooftop deck since we moved here in 2015. I often go up to the roof to look at the famous "Strip" which is visible to our East-Southest.

Tonight I was sitting and enjoying the warm evening air when I spotted a bright white light coming from the direction of Area 51 which is 150 miles Northwest from our house. I turned on the camera of my I-Phone 12 and started to record. As the light came closer it turned slightly to the right towards me (east) and I then realized it was an airplane. I stopped recording and was about to put my I-Phone away. Instead I noticed 2 white lights emerge from behind Lone Mountain and they were headed due west. They seemed perfectly spaced apart. The light was constant from them. I turned my i-Phone back on. The airplane I was recording previously was still visible below the 2 lights as it headed in the opposite direction, but you can see it has blinking colored lights.

I continued to record the 2 steady lights above and followed them as they seemed to head west over the Sheep Mountain Range which is about 15 miles north of us. The lead light then seemed to burn out after 30 seconds or so. After another few seconds, the second light then burned out as well. Nothing seemed to remain of either light. Both were steady and followed a seemingly level path parallel to the ground before disappearing."

Attention Aussies

What Should We Name The New Moon Rover?

https://www.industry.gov.au/themes/custom/industry_theme/logo.png

Opportunity. Perseverance. Curiosity. Ingenuity. NASA has nailed the art of giving its robotic explorers personality. Now, Australia’s space agency wants your help to catapult its first Moon rover to celebrity status.

It needs a name.

And that name must capture the spirit of Australia’s most ambitious space project to date. Individuals and schools can enter the competition, with the winner to be announced on December 6.

So, what’s in a name?

“It’s less about the destination, more about the journey: the technical skills that are being developed in robotics across the nation is very exciting,” says the Space Agency’s head, Enrico Palermo.

Aboriginal names are in the hot seat.

South Australia’s experimental earth observation satellite, due to be launched in November, is called Kanyini (it roughly translates to environmental steward). That name was suggested by Findon High School. But any name that captures the energy and ingenuity behind this Australian rover will be a contender (though no acronyms, please).

The Australian-made, semi-autonomous rover being developed under the Trailblazer program is the Space Agency’s flagship project.

Astronaut Frank Rubio Breaks US Spaceflight Duration Record

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/x_xdwqJ07A8/hqdefault.jpg

During the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2023, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio broke the record for the longest single spaceflight by an American citizen.

Rubio, 47, surpassed the record previously held by NASA’s Mark Vande Hei, who returned to Earth in March of 2022 after a 355.2-day stay aboard the International Space Station. Rubio, along with two of his Russian colleagues, cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin, now also have the record of the longest serving crew aboard the ISS. They are expected to depart the outpost in Soyuz MS-23 as early as Sept. 27, which would bring their total stay to just over 371 days — more than a full year.

Only two other people, both cosmonauts serving aboard the Russian Mir space station, had longer stays in orbit: Sergei Avdeyev for 379.6 days in 1998/1999 and Valeri Polyakov for 437.7 days in 1994/1995.

The Scent of the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Mummification Balm Ingredients

http://scitechdaily.com/images/Egyptian-Canopic-Jar-Art-Concept.jpg

The ingredients of balms used in the mummification of an ancient Egyptian noblewoman named Senetnay — whose remains were excavated by Howard Carter in 1900 CE — are described in a study published today (August 31) in the journal Scientific Reports. The origins and complexity of the balms provide clues as to the high status of the individual.

Previous research has identified that Senetnay lived in Egypt around 1,450 BCE, was a wet nurse to the Pharaoh Amenhotep II during his infancy, and bore the title “Ornament of the King.” After her death, her mummified organs were stored in four jars in a royal tomb in the esteemed Valley of the Kings.

A team led by Barbara Huber of the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (Jena, Germany) analyzed the substances found within six balm samples from two jars that were used to store Senetnay’s lungs and liver. They report that both balms contained beeswax, plant oils, animal fats, the naturally occurring petroleum product bitumen, and resins from the family of coniferous trees that includes pines and larches.

The authors also identified the presence of the compounds coumarin and benzoic acid within samples from both jars. Coumarin has a vanilla-like scent and is found in a wide range of plants including cinnamons and pea plants, while benzoic acid occurs in fragrant resins and gums obtained from several types of trees and shrubs.

The authors postulate that the complexity of the balms and the use of imported ingredients in the mummification of Senetnay reflect her high social status and indicate that she was a highly valued member of the Pharaoh’s entourage.

An Annular Solar Eclipse Over New Mexico by Colleen Pinski

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2309/AnnularEclipse_Pinski_960.jpg
http://apod.nasa.gov/

What is this person doing? In 2012, an annular eclipse of the Sun was visible over a narrow path that crossed the northern Pacific Ocean and several western US states. In an annular solar eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block out the entire Sun, leaving the Sun peeking out over the Moon's disk in a ring of fire. To capture this unusual solar event, an industrious photographer drove from Arizona to New Mexico to find just the right vista. After setting up and just as the eclipsed Sun was setting over a ridge about 0.5 kilometers away, a person unknowingly walked right into the shot. Although grateful for the unexpected human element, the photographer never learned the identity of the silhouetted interloper. It appears likely that the person is holding a circular device that would enable them to get their own view of the eclipse. The shot was taken at sunset on 2012 May 20 at 7:36 pm local time from a park near Albuquerque.

Upcoming:

Next month, on October 14, a different narrow swath across North and South America will be exposed to a different annular solar eclipse, if the sky is clear. Simultaneously, cloud-free observers almost anywhere on either continent will be able to see a partial solar eclipse.

Archaeologists Discover World's Oldest Wooden Structure

Pre-dates Homo Sapiens

Half a million years ago, earlier than was previously thought possible, humans were building structures made of wood, according to new research by a team from the University of Liverpool and Aberystwyth University.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dsMxh6UThXfn3Dbtr5Pr2m-970-80.jpg

The research, published in the journal Nature, reports on the excavation of well-preserved wood at the archaeological site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia, dating back at least 476,000 years and predating the evolution of our own species, Homo sapiens.

Expert analysis of stone tool cut-marks on the wood show that these early humans shaped and joined two large logs to make a structure, probably the foundation of a platform or part of a dwelling.

This is the earliest evidence from anywhere in the world of the deliberate crafting of logs to fit together. Until now, evidence for the human use of wood was limited to its use for making fire, digging sticks and spears.

Wood is rarely found in such ancient sites as it usually rots and disappears, but at Kalambo Falls permanently high water levels preserved the wood.

This discovery challenges the prevailing view that Stone Age humans were nomadic. At Kalambo Falls these humans not only had a perennial source of water, but the forest around them provided enough food to enable them to settle and make structures.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/F9gCqmgEBcAKg6ZdvkxTUg-970-80.jpg

Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool's Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, who leads the 'Deep Roots of Humanity' research project said: "This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. Forget the label 'Stone Age,' look at what these people were doing: they made something new, and large, from wood. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they'd never seen before, something that had never previously existed."

"It is unthinkable that hominins would not use wood, given its widespread nature," Shadreck Chirikure, a professor of archaeological science at the University of Oxford said. The new study shows that "humans and hominins used resources that were available to them." Chirikure suggested that the very early date of the notched logs "calls for a rethink" of how human cultural and biological evolution is understood.

The Oldest Wooden Well in the World is 7,250 Years Old

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047d405b02148755fb6e601/b1fa9f6b-bd38-493c-9e87-e1190f48bc31/24242222-0-image-a-5_1580728608032.jpg

This "wooden box" is one of the oldest wooden "structures" in the world and was once a well. It was found in the Czech Republic, where the first farmers in Europe built some wells with some oak wood. They earned the title of the oldest preserved wooden well construction in the world.

One of the first oak structures has been accurately dated thanks to the annual rings preserved in the wood.

The unique discovery was made by archaeologists last year in Ostrov in the Pardubice region, where seven wells from different prehistoric periods were found during excavations during the construction of the D35 road. In particular, "in the case of the well found in Chrudim, the results show that the trees used to build the well were felled between 5256-5255 B.C., and the corner posts of a tree boot felled in the fall or winter of 5259 B.C. or early winter of 5258 B.C.," said Michal Rybníček of the Department of Wood Science at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology at Mendel University in Brno. (In Cyprus, people were already building wells 10,500 years ago).

"It is remarkable that the first farmers, who had only tools made of stone, bone, horn or wood, were able to work felled tree trunks with absolute precision," he added.

Pablo Neruda was born Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto on July 12, 1904. He began writing poems at the age of 13, and later became a poet-diplomat and politician who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. The space imagery in his poems inspired scientists to name a crater on Mercury in his honor. Neruda Crater is 70 miles (112 km) across.

In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa by Ada Limón

http://europa.nasa.gov/internal_resources/208/

Arching under the night sky inky

with black expansiveness, we point

to the planets we know, we

pin quick wishes on stars. From earth,

we read the sky as if it is an unerring book

of the universe, expert and evident.

Still, there are mysteries below our sky:

the whale song, the songbird singing

its call in the bough of a wind-shaken tree.

We are creatures of constant awe,

curious at beauty, at leaf and blossom,

at grief and pleasure, sun and shadow.

And it is not darkness that unites us,

not the cold distance of space, but

the offering of water, each drop of rain,

each rivulet, each pulse, each vein.

O second moon, we, too, are made

of water, of vast and beckoning seas.

We, too, are made of wonders, of great

and ordinary loves, of small invisible worlds,

of a need to call out through the dark.

Massive Sun Outburst Smacks NASA Spacecraft

If it had hit Earth, this coronal mass ejection could have caused continent-scale blackouts, scientists say

http://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/4C09AFF7-21C0-4580-AEFFEAC54D4C3703_source.jpg?w=590&h=800&D671C036-0EC9-4FCC-B799AAC863EF09DB

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe was built to withstand the ravages of the environment near our sun—and with good reason.

The car-size spacecraft has now flown through a giant solar outburst of charged particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If that CME had it hit Earth instead, it may have caused vast, continent-wide blackouts, scientists say. Some of those searing particles whipped through space at about three million miles per hour.

The encounter occurred on the far side of the sun, relative to Earth. It began on September 5, 2022, and lasted nearly two full days, scientists detail in a new paper published in the Astrophysical Journal. At the time, the Parker Solar Probe was a mere 5.7 million miles from the sun’s surface. Researchers typically have to study the sun’s outbursts from our planet, which treks an average of 93 million miles away.

The CME in question was the sort of event that scientists would prefer not to be able to study from Earth; they want such large outbursts to stay far from our planet. That’s because CMEs, which send bubbles of charged particles shooting out through the solar system, can cause geomagnetic storms near Earth that interfere with key aspects of our lives—such as the GPS satellites we use to navigate or the power grids that run our homes and offices.

The most powerful geomagnetic storm on record, called the Carrington Event, occurred in 1859, when humans had far less infrastructure that was vulnerable to such storms. Still, the Carrington Event had impressive impacts on the telegraph network and even lit some equipment on fire.

Had the September 2022 CME headed toward Earth, it could have caused a geomagnetic storm of about the same magnitude as the Carrington Event, said a Parker Solar Probe scientist in a recent Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory press release. Today if such a storm were to hit with no warning, it could cause blackouts spanning entire continents.

Fear of such a large, Earth-directed event was part of the inspiration for the Parker Solar Probe mission. NASA hoped the mission would shed light on enduring mysteries of the sun’s activity, such as how charged particles in the solar wind that constantly flows off the sun reach such high speeds and why the sun’s atmosphere—the corona—is so incredibly hot, much hotter than the star’s surface. By better understanding how the sun works, the theory goes, scientists should be better able to predict massive outbursts, giving Earthlings time to prepare for the storms.

Close Encounter With a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection)

On Sept. 5, 2022, NASA's Parker Solar Probe was about to make its 13th close approach to the Sun when a coronal mass ejection (CME) -- a powerful explosion of magnetic fields and plasma -- erupted right in front of it. The Sun is depicted off to the left in the video. In all, Parker spent roughly two days observing the CME, becoming the first spacecraft ever to fly through a powerful solar explosion near the Sun. The information collected provides researchers with an unparalleled view into these stellar events.

http://arabradio.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A9-%D9%83%D9%88%D9%83%D8%A8-%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A7.jpg

The OSIRIS-REx mission has just completed NASA’s first sample-return mission from the near-Earth asteroid, Bennu. The samples arrived at the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) near Salt Lake City, where a team of engineers arrived by helicopter to retrieve the sample capsule. The samples will be curated by NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate (ARES) and Japan’s Extraterrestrial Sample Curation Center (ESCuC). Analysis of the rocks and dust obtained from Bennu is expected to provide new insight into the formation and evolution of the Solar System.

Dr. James B. Garvin, the Chief Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center, expressed excitement about the successful return of the samples and the mission in general:

“I’m over the asteroid!” he said. “It’s a masterpiece of engineering we have here. Just think about this. In fifty years, we’ve gone from bringing things on the Moon back with crews to all-robotic sample return for science that’s … literally beyond words. It’s sublime. So we cannot wait to see what we’re going to learn.”

NASA Director Bill Nelson delivered his congratulations to the OSIRIS-REx team for their efforts:

“You did it. You designed it, you built it, and you carried out a first mission to collect a sample from an asteroid. And after a two-year journey, it has touched down at the Utah Desert. It brought something extraordinary: the largest asteroid sample ever received on Earth. It’s going to help scientists investigate planet formation. It’s going to improve our understanding of asteroids that could possibly impact the Earth, and it will deepen our understanding of the origin of our Solar System and its formation. This mission proves that NASA does big things. Things that inspire us, things that unite us, things that show that nothing is beyond reach.”

Friday, Sept. 29: Full Harvest Supermoon (at 09:57 GMT)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wLHAiq36wmuUZhU3QGdUi6-970-80.jpg

The moon will officially reach its full phase on Friday, Sept. 29 at 5:57 a.m. EDT or 2:57 a.m. PDT and 09:57 GMT, so it will appear to be full on both Thursday and Friday evening in the Americas. The September full moon, traditionally known as the "Corn Moon" and "Barley Moon", always shines in or near the stars of Aquarius and Pisces.

The indigenous Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes region call this moon Waatebagaa-giizis or Waabaagbagaa-giizis, the Leaves Turning or Leaves Falling Moon. Full moons always rise around sunset and set around sunrise. Because this is the closest full moon to the autumnal equinox in 2023, it is also the Harvest Moon. On the evenings around its full phase, the moon normally rises about 50 minutes later than the previous night. But the shallow slope of the evening ecliptic (and the moon's orbit) around the equinox causes Harvest Moons to rise at almost the same time each night — only delayed by as little as 10 minutes, depending on your latitude. This phenomenon traditionally allowed farmers to work into the evening under bright moonlight — hence the name. This full moon will also be the last of the supermoon series for 2023.

Arp 142: The Hummingbird Galaxy by Basudeb Chakrabarti

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2309/Arp142_HubbleChakrabarti_960.jpg

What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown at the bottom, was likely a normal spiral galaxy -- spinning, creating stars -- and minding its own business. But then it got too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937, just below, and took a turn. Sometimes dubbed the Hummingbird Galaxy for its iconic shape, NGC 2936 is not only being deflected but also being distorted by the close gravitational interaction. Behind filaments of dark interstellar dust, bright blue stars form the nose of the hummingbird, while the center of the spiral appears as an eye. Alternatively, the galaxy pair, together known as Arp 142, look to some like Porpoise or a penguin protecting an egg. The featured re-processed image showing Arp 142 in great detail was taken recently by the Hubble Space Telescope. Arp 142 lies about 300 million light years away toward the constellation of the Water Snake (Hydra). In a billion years or so the two galaxies will likely merge into one larger galaxy.

MilliMobile – A Tiny, Self-driving Robot Powered Only by Light and Radio Waves

http://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2023/millimobile-is-a-tiny.jpg

Small mobile robots carrying sensors could perform tasks like catching gas leaks or tracking warehouse inventory. But moving robots demands a lot of energy, and batteries, the typical power source, limit lifetime and raise environmental concerns. Researchers have explored various alternatives: affixing sensors to insects, keeping charging mats nearby, or powering the robots with lasers. Each has drawbacks: Insects roam, chargers limit range, and lasers can burn people's eyes.

Researchers at the University of Washington have now created MilliMobile, a tiny, self-driving robot powered only by surrounding light or radio waves. Equipped with a solar panel-like energy harvester and four wheels, MilliMobile is about the size of a penny, weighs as much as a raisin and can move about the length of a bus (30 feet, or 10 meters) in an hour even on a cloudy day. The robot can drive on surfaces such as concrete or packed soil and carry three times its own weight in equipment like a camera or sensors. It uses a light sensor to move automatically toward light sources so it can run indefinitely on harvested power.

Perigee Harvest Moon

Everyone has heard of the Harvest Moon. It's the full Moon closest to the northern autumnal equinox. The September 29 Harvest Moon is special, though. It's a "perigee" Harvest Moon, *5 percent bigger and 13 percent brighter* than an average full Moon. Andreas Walker photographed it rising over Hallwil, Switzerland.

"The red full moon looked huge as it rose in the dark blue sky," says Walker. "Telephone lines provided a perfect foreground."

What is a "perigee moon”? The Moon's orbit is an ellipse with one side ("perigee") about 50,000 km closer than the other ("apogee"). Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon's orbit are extra big and bright. That's what's happening tonight, with the Moon becoming full within 32 hours of perigee. It's "only" 359,910 km away.

Comet Nishimura's Tail Gets Whipped by Powerful Solar Storm as it Slingshots Around the Sun

After surviving its closest approach to the sun, Comet Nishimura was buffeted by a possible coronal mass ejection that briefly blew its tail away. The rare event was captured by a NASA spacecraft.

Comet Nishimura's wobbling tail after being hit by a CME on Sept. 6

The recently discovered green comet Nishimura has been body slammed by a potential coronal mass ejection (CME) after surviving a close encounter with the Sun. The unexpected collision, which briefly blew away the comet's tail, was caught on camera by a NASA spacecraft.

Comet Nishimura, also known as C/2023 P1, was first spotted falling rapidly toward the sun on Aug. 12 by amateur Japanese astronomer Hideo Nishimura. Its steep trajectory initially hinted that it could be an interstellar object, like 'Oumuamua or Comet 2I/Borisov, that would leave the solar system after it slingshotted around the sun. However, follow-up observations revealed that the comet originated from the Oort Cloud — a reservoir of comets and other icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune — and has a highly elliptical orbit that brings it into the inner solar system roughly every 430 years.

Comet Nishimira's orbital position on Sept. 17 when it reached perihelion with the sun

On Sept. 17, the comet reached its minimum distance from the sun, known as perihelion, as it slingshotted around our home star at a distance of 20.5 million miles (33 million km). This type of close encounter can often cause comets to burn up and break apart. But astronomers soon discovered that Nishimura had survived the superheated, high-G maneuver.

Family Who ‘Saw 10ft Aliens in Their Garden’ Double Down on Bizarre Claim With Sketches

The Kenmore family stood behind their claims on national television

A Las Vegas family who claim to have seen enormous grey aliens in their back garden after a light fell from the sky have spoken out for the first time.

Police rushed to the Kenmore family home on May 1 this year, after eldest son Angel called 911 to tell them about two 10-foot tall creatures standing outside.

An officer’s bodycam had captured a bright ball of light glowing in the night sky over the Nevada city shortly beforehand, leading colleagues to investigate a call they would usually otherwise ignore.

In an interview with US news magazine show Inside Edition, the Kenmores talked about what they say they saw – and even drew pictures of the creatures.

Angel’s drawing included a blob beside the creature, representing a ‘light’ that was ‘beside him’

The images produced by 16-year-old Angel and his dad Bobby are both eerily similar to classic depictions of aliens from science fiction films. The TV reporter asked the family members not to look at each other’s drawings. Both describe a light beside the head.

Bobby’s sketch has a wide head, long neck and ears reminiscent of beloved ogre Shrek.

‘They look like ears,’ he told the Inside Edition reporter, ‘But they have these antennae like light.’

Meanwhile, Angel’s depiction has a long head and one bizarrely bent leg. The teenager also spent time furiously smudging his pencil marks to ‘make the skin colour’.

A third drawing by youngest son Joshua is not shown in the report.

Cygnus the Swan

http://theplanets.org/123/2021/01/Cygnus-2.png

Cygnus the swan is a distinctive cross-shaped constellation best seen during the summer and fall months in the Northern skies.

The constellation is easy to identify because is it dominated by a large cross-shaped asterism known as the Northern Cross. The bright star Deneb marks the tail of the celestial swan and the top of the Northern Cross. The star is also one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle.

Cygnus is surrounded by Cepheus to the north and east, Draco to the north and west, Lyra to the west, Vulpecula to the south, Pegasus to the southeast and Lacerta to the east.

In one of several Greek myths, the god Zeus disguises himself as a swan, then seduces Leda, the Spartan king Tyndareus’s wife. She gave birth to two sets of twins, the immortal Pollux and Helen, who were fathered by Zeus and the mortal Castor and Clytemnestra, who were fathered by Tyndareus. Castor and Pollux are represented by the zodiac constellation Gemini.

In Hinduism, the period of time (or Muhurta) between 4:24 AM to 5:12 AM is called the Brahmamuhurtha, which means “the moment of the Universe”; the star system in correlation is the Cygnus constellation. This is believed to be a highly auspicious time to meditate, do any task, or start the day.

In a Chinese myth, the Goddess of Heaven discovers that Niu Lang and Zhi Nu are lovers. Zhi Nu is a fairy, and is therefore not allowed to be with a mortal man. The Goddess creates a river (the Milky Way) in the sky to keep the lovers separated. Once a year on Chinese Valentines Day, all the magpies in the world assemble to help the lovers be together by forming an enormous bridge over the wide river. The constellation Cygnus represents the magpie bridge in this story.

The Night Sky

Saturday, October 7 - The Dolphin Swims the Southern Sky (all night)

During the evening in early October, the small constellation of Delphinus is positioned high in the southern sky. Look for its five 4th magnitude stars shining just to the lower left (or celestial southeast) of the line connecting the very bright stars Deneb and Altair. According to Greek legend, Poseidon, god of the seas, was assisted in a matter of the heart by a friendly dolphin, so he rewarded it with a place of honor in the heavens.

Delphinus' brightest two stars are bluish Sualocin, at the top of its head, and whitish Rotanev, at the nape of its neck. Those funny appellations are actually the name of 19th-century astronomer Nicolaus Venator spelled backwards. Gamma Delphinus, the star marking the dolphin’s nose, is a close-together double star with one component a greenish color.

Sunday, October 8 - The Andromeda Galaxy (all night)

In October, the Andromeda Galaxy is climbing the northeastern sky during evening. This large spiral galaxy, also designated Messier 31 and NGC 224, is 2.5 million light years from us, and covers an area of sky measuring 3 by 1 degrees (or six by two full moon diameters)! Under dark skies, M31 can be seen with unaided eyes as a faint smudge located 1.4 fist diameters to the left (or 14 degrees to the celestial northeast) of Alpheratz, the star that forms the left-hand (northwestern) corner of the square of Pegasus.

The three westernmost stars of Cassiopeia, Caph, Shedar, and Navi (Gamma Cas), also conveniently form an arrow that points towards M31.

Dumbo Octopus

On an expedition in Hawaii, a remote underwater vehicle filmed a dumbo octopus swimming with its ear-like fins near the seafloor. The pale white creature is one of the deepest-dwelling octopuses on Earth.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZUAg2whDybbKsa5RnsKR58-970-80.gif

The unidentified species of dumbo octopus, from the genus Grimpoteuthis, was spotted Sept. 13 by researchers aboard Ocean Exploration Trust's (OET) Exploration Vessel "Nautilus." The team was exploring a seamount in the north of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) — one of the world's largest marine protected areas — using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at a depth of around 5,500 feet (1,675 meters) when they came across the pale white cephalopod, researchers wrote in a statement.

Video footage from the dive, which was live-streamed online, shows the dumbo octopus slowly pushing itself through the water with its ear-like fins just a few feet above the seafloor. This unusual form of locomotion strongly resembles the flying elephant Dumbo, from the classic Disney film, which inspired these octopuses' name.

"Mary, Mary Quite Contrary" is said be about Bloody Mary, daughter of King Henry VIII, and concerns the torture and murder of Protestants. “Contrary” is one way to describe a murderous psychopath. This popular English nursery rhyme, which reads like a solicitation for gardening advice, is actually a recounting of the homicidal nature of Queen Mary I of England. A fierce believer in Catholicism, her reign as queen—from 1553 to 1558—was marked by the execution of hundreds of Protestants. (Silver bells and cockle shells are torture devices, not garden accoutrements.) The “silver bells” were thumbscrews; while “cockleshells” are believed to be instruments of torture which were attached to male genitals.

Three blind mice
Three blind mice
See how they run
See how they run
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life
As three blind mice?

“Three Blind Mice” is supposedly yet another ode to Bloody Mary’s reign, with the trio in question believed to be a group of Protestant bishops—Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Radley, and The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer—who conspired to overthrow the queen and were burned at the stake for their heresy. Religious scholars suggest that the blindness in the title refers to their religious beliefs.

It looks like it was digitally altered or an overlay. The face is sharper than the rest of the image. It reminds me of the late Bob Hope on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He said there's a painting in a museum possibly in Venice that looks like him.

The Ancient Egyptian Dendera Light Bulb Hypothesis | Archaeologist Carl Feagans

A resurgence of the “Dendera light bulb” and the “Baghdad battery” pairing has started making it’s way through Facebook lately. Its as if the internet ran out of crazy ideas and is recycling old ones. Or, more likely, a new generation of the gullible is learning to spell and is now making it’s way down the path of Big-Woo, where shills are pushing new comers to spend their money on books and videos.

5,000-Year-Old Cauldron Sheds Light on Diet of Ancient Caucasians

http://cdn.sci.news/images/2013/02/banner_site.png

Cooking for a crowd: A stew pot nearly as old as recorded time reveals secrets from long ago

http://cdn.sci.news/images/enlarge11/image_12205e-Cauldron.jpg

“It’s really exciting to get an idea of what people were making in cauldrons so long ago,” said Dr. Shevan Wilkin, an archaeologist at the University of Zurich.

“This is the first evidence we have of preserved proteins of a feast – it’s a big cauldron. They were obviously making large meals, not just for individual families.”

Many metal alloys have antimicrobial properties, which is why the proteins have been preserved so well on the cauldrons. The microbes in dirt that would normally degrade proteins on surfaces such as ceramic and stone are held at bay on metal alloys.

“We have already established that people at the time most likely drank a soupy beer, but we did not know what was included on the main menu,” added Institute for the History of Material Culture archaeologist Viktor Trifonov.

For their study, they successfully retrieved proteins from blood, muscle tissue, and milk. One of these proteins, heat shock protein beta-1, indicates that the cauldrons were used to cook deer or bovine (cows, yaks, or water buffalo) tissues.

Milk proteins from either sheep or goats were also recovered, indicating that the cauldrons were used to prepare dairy.

Radiocarbon dating allowed the scientists to specifically pinpoint that the cauldrons could have been used between 3520-3350 BCE. This means that these vessels are more than 3,000 years older than any vessels that have been analyzed before. Although the cauldrons show signs of wear and tear from use, they also show signs of extensive repair.

“These metal vessels would have taken a particularly long time and a lot of skill to make, so it’s not very surprising to find that they were being used and cared for over an extended period of time. Perhaps more than a generation,” said Dr. Peter Hommel, an archaeologist at the University of Liverpool.

Ozone Hole Bigger Than North America Opens Above Antarctica

'One of the biggest on record'

Satellite data shows that this year's ozone hole grew to twice the size of Antarctica

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HgiiFq45JEnXJuoAj9bugM-970-80.jpg
The ozone hole reached its maximum size on Sept. 16

This year's hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica is one of the biggest ever seen, satellite data shows. Experts believe the huge gap in Earth's protective shield may have been caused by the eruption of Tonga's underwater volcano in early 2022.

The ozone layer is a band of Earth's atmosphere between 9 and 18 miles (15 and 30 kilometers) above the surface, where there is a high concentration of ozone — a type of oxygen molecule with three atoms instead of two. The ozone layer blocks out harmful levels of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, which is necessary for various life forms, including humans, to survive.

In 1985, researchers discovered that large holes were appearing in the ozone layer above Earth's polar regions, and that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) — a common chemical used in aerosol cans, packing materials and refrigerators at the time — were reacting with the ozone in Earth's atmosphere, depleting ozone levels. This led to the international community banning CFCs in 1989, allowing ozone levels to recover over time. However, that trend is reversing.

This year's ozone hole above Antarctica reached its maximum size on Sept. 16 when it peaked at a whopping 10 million square miles (26 million square kilometers), according to the European Space Agency (ESA), which monitors the hole with the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite. That is around the same area as North America, three times the size of Brazil, the equivalent of Russia and China combined or around twice the size of Antarctica itself.

There is agreement in the scientific community that this was either caused or helped by the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano. The volcano exploded with the force of more than 100 Hiroshima bombs and created the tallest-ever recorded eruption plume when it popped its top in January 2022.
