“¡Esta imagen de Andrómeda muestra no sólo dónde están las estrellas ahora, sino también dónde estarán! ¡La gran y hermosa galaxia de Andrómeda, M31, es una galaxia espiral a sólo 2,5 millones de años luz de distancia! Aquí se han combinado datos de imágenes de observatorios espaciales y terrestres para producir esta intrigante vista compuesta de Andrómeda en longitudes de onda tanto dentro como fuera de la luz normalmente visible!"

"¡La luz visible muestra dónde están ahora las estrellas de M31, resaltadas en tonos blancos y azules y fotografiadas por los telescopios Hubble, Subaru y Mayall! ¡La luz infrarroja muestra dónde se formarán pronto las futuras estrellas de M31, resaltadas en tonos naranjas y fotografiadas por el Telescopio Espacial Spitzer de la NASA! ¡Por supuesto, las nuevas estrellas probablemente se formarán durante los próximos cien millones de años aproximadamente! ¡Eso es mucho antes de que Andrómeda se fusione con nuestra Vía Láctea en unos 5 mil millones de años! ¡Que tengáis un buen día a todos y nos vemos en clase!”

What Would Galileo Say?

Before you read further, look at this:

http://spaceweather.com/swpod2008/11may08/journal_jup1_med.gif?PHPSESSID=qd4qra83otal55rmk18krla7j4&PHPSESSID=2hh03r73s3n3kbce4319m1jj80

That's what Galileo saw in 1610 when he turned his primitive telescope toward Jupiter. The satellites were tiny specks of light with no discernable features. What a difference 400 years makes. On Oct. 3, 2023, Philip Smith looked through a modern backyard telescope and saw a full-fledged world:

http://spaceweathergallery2.com/submissions/pics/p/Philip-Smith-Jupiter-and-Europa-Transit-Larger-c-Philip-Smith-10-03-23_1696337614_lg.jpg

"I caught Europa transiting the cloudtops of Jupiter from my observatory in Manorville, New York," says Smith. "The moon's disk was surprisingly well resolved in my 14 inch telescope."

Far from being a featureless point of light, Europa is now considered one of the most complex and fascinating worlds in the solar system. Cracks, ridges, and chaotic terrain on the moon's icy crust may offer access to one of the largest oceans in the solar system--and a possible abode for aquatic life. NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, slated for launch in October 2024, will conduct a detailed reconnaissance of Europa's surface to help plan future missions including a lander and perhaps even a submarine.

'Mind-boggling’ Sea Creature Spotted Off Japan Finally Identified

It took a team of scientists to figure it out – What is it?

http://www.science.org/do/10.1126/science.adl0064/files/_20230921_parasite_slideshow_01.jpg

When Ryo Minemizu, a professional underwater photographer, posted the photos you see of an elegant ladybug-size flittering creature off Okinawa, Japan, in 2018, biologists were baffled. It wasn’t a worm, a mollusk, or a crustacean. What was it? No one knew.

One of those intrigued was Igor Adameyko, a developmental neurobiologist at the Medical University of Vienna. (A fellow enthusiast of marine biology, he spotted the pictures on Instagram, where he has his own account dedicated to marine zooplankton.) Adameyko asked Minemizu whether he had taken a specimen, and, if so, whether he might share it. Not long after, a package arrived at the Karolinska Institute, where Adameyko also works.

Inside was a vial containing the specimen, no bigger than a pea. As Adameyko carefully dissected it, he noticed billowy outer parts, which Minemizu’s footage captured propelling the strange creature, attached to the flat side of a brown hemisphere. They were like “snake hair on the Gorgon’s head,” Adameyko and colleagues reported in Current Biology.

At first, Adameyko thought they were appendages, but looking closer, he noticed it wasn’t a single creature, but many individual organisms, each just a few millimeters long. There were 20 of these swimmers—dubbed “sailors” by Adameyko—in total.

The hemisphere they were all attached to was even weirder. It was essentially a glob of hundreds of sperm-shaped organisms with heads about the size of a pencil point and tails much thinner than a human hair. The tails were tangled together in a center knot, with heads all pointed outward. There are fewer passengers at the top, where the sailors hold on, which may have flattened that side of the spherical mass.

Still, the bizarre conglomerate creature’s identity eluded Adameyko. He consulted other experts, but no one could solve the mystery behind these tiny creatures. It was “absolutely mind boggling,” Adameyko recalls.

This phenomenon, in which one member of a species forgoes its own chance to reproduce so that another can, is called kin selection. And this, says Robert Poulin, a parasitologist at the University of Otago, is “a really cool case of kin selection pushed to the extreme.”

For the strange Medusa’s head in his lab, Adameyko would like to learn more about how its component larvae decide to cooperate and how they control the motion of the colony. The sailors have eye spots that can detect light, which may play a role. He hopes to collaborate with scientists in Okinawa to find more specimens.

Extreme Solar Storm Hit Our Planet 14,300 Years Ago, Subfossil Tree-Rings Show

http://cdn.sci.news/images/2023/10/image_12336_1-Miyake-Event.jpg

In new research, scientists from the University of Leeds and elsewhere measured radiocarbon levels in ancient trees preserved within the eroded banks of the Drouzet River in the Southern French Alps. The tree trunks, which are subfossils, were sliced into tiny single tree-rings. The analysis of individual rings identified an unprecedented spike in radiocarbon levels occurring precisely 14,300 years ago.

“Extreme solar storms could have huge impacts on Earth,” said University of Leeds Professor Tim Heaton.

“Such super storms could permanently damage the transformers in our electricity grids, resulting in huge and widespread blackouts lasting months.”

“They could also result in permanent damage to the satellites that we all rely on for navigation and telecommunication, leaving them unusable. They would also create severe radiation risks to astronauts.”

Nine such extreme solar storms — known as Miyake events — have now been identified as having occurred over the last 15,000 years.

The most recent confirmed Miyake events occurred in 993 CE and 774 CE.

This newly-identified event occurred 14,300 years ago, and is the largest that has ever been found — roughly twice the size of these two.

“Radiocarbon provides a phenomenal way of studying Earth’s history and reconstructing critical events that it has experienced,” Professor Heaton said.

“A precise understanding of our past is essential if we want to accurately predict our future and mitigate potential risks.”

Tour: Galaxies Go on a Deep Dive and Leave Fiery Tail Behind

A group of galaxies is plunging into the Coma galaxy cluster and leaving behind an extraordinary tail of superheated gas. Astronomers have confirmed this is the longest known tail behind a galaxy group and used it to gain a deeper understanding of how galaxy clusters — some of the largest structures in the Universe — grow to their enormous sizes.

Tour: Cosmic Harmonies: Sonifications From NASA Telescopes

Astronomers often look at objects in space through multiple telescopes. Because different telescopes can detect different types of light, each brings its own pieces of information to understanding whatever is being observed. This is similar in some ways to how different notes of the musical scale can be played together to create harmonies that are impossible with single notes alone.

For all of that region, the spectacle will be a partial solar eclipse of varying obscuration. Only within the path of annularity, which is 118 to 137 miles (190 to 220 kilometers) wide, will the ring of fire be visible. That path will stretch from Oregon through northern California, northeast Nevada, central Utah, northeast Arizona, southwest Colorado, central New Mexico and southern Texas.

On October 19 and 20, let the waxing Moon guide your eye to the direction toward the center of our galaxy. The Moon will be near a famous asterism, the Teapot in Sagittarius, and the Teapot marks the general direction to the Milky Way center. So if you face the Moon on the 19th or 20th, you’ll be facing the exact center of the Milky Way galaxy.

The 1st quarter Moon will pass the constellation Capricornus the Sea-goat on the evenings of October 21 and 22, 2023. Under dark skies, the constellation has the distinct shape of an arrowhead. The Moon and Capricornus will be visible as darkness falls and set around midnight.

Auriga the Charioteer and Bright Capella

http://earthsky.org/upl/2021/09/Auriga_Northeast_October-e1632193489127.jpg

Auriga the Charioteer is a popular constellation for Northern Hemisphere observers in autumn, because its flashing star advertises its presence. Capella, the brightest star in Auriga, flashes red, blue and green when it’s close to the horizon and seen through a thick layer of Earth’s atmosphere. Close to Capella are a pair of stars known as The Kids, baby goats that the Charioteer carries.

Auriga is a far-northern constellation. It’s close enough to the North Star that people in the northern U.S. and Canada – and similar latitudes – see it as circumpolar. In other words, they can see all or part of the constellation on any night of the year.

But some times of the year are definitely better than others. If you want to see the entirety of Auriga, start looking for the constellation and flickering Capella in Northern Hemisphere autumn.

http://earthsky.org/upl/2017/10/Sidney_Hall_-_Uranias_Mirror_-_Auriga-1-scaled-e1631633442124.jpg

The epsilon star in Auriga is one of the most puzzling stars in the sky. It remains a mystery why it fades for about two years every twenty-seven years.

Ancient New Year's Scene From Egypt Uncovered on Roof of 2,200-year-old Temple

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FUbD84wG96zp6brt93cBJj-970-80.jpg

A stunning New Year's scene painted by ancient Egyptians has been uncovered by researchers restoring artwork on the ceiling of the Temple of Esna — a temple built 2,200 years ago that underwent a major renovation about 2,000 years ago when the Romans controlled Egypt.

The paintings show the Egyptian deities Orion (also called Sah), Sothis and Anukis on neighboring boats with the sky goddess Nut swallowing the evening sky above them — a mythology that details the Egyptian New Year, according to a statement from the University of Tübingen in Germany, which jointly led the restoration with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

In the depiction, Orion represents the constellation of the same name, while Sothis represents Sirius, a star which was invisible in the night sky in ancient Egypt for 70 days of the year before becoming visible again in east, that day marking the ancient Egyptian New Year.

Scientists Successfully Simulate Past Time Travel w/ 25% Chance of Actually Changing the Past

http://thedebrief.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/time-travel-1-720x480.jpg

http://thedebrief.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DB-Mbl.png

Scientists trying to take advantage of the unusual properties of the quantum realm say they have successfully simulated a method of backward time travel that allowed them to change an event after the fact one out of four times. The Cambridge University team is quick to caution that they have not built a time machine, per se, but also note how their process doesn’t violate physics while changing past events after they have happened.

“Imagine that you want to send a gift to someone: you need to send it on day one to make sure it arrives on day three,” explained lead author David Arvidsson-Shukur from the Cambridge Hitachi Laboratory. “However, you only receive that person’s wish list on day two.”

To respect the gift recipient’s timeline, you would need to send it on day one. But, as Arvidsson-Shukur notes, you won’t know what gift to send until later, meaning your gift will either be late or be wrong.

“Now imagine you can change what you send on day one with the information from the wish list received on day two,” he adds.

It is exactly this phenomenon that the researchers say can happen in the right scenario.

“Our simulation uses quantum entanglement manipulation to show how you could retroactively change your previous actions to ensure the final outcome is the one you want.”

Quantum entanglement is a process where certain fundamental aspects of quantum particles are shared by two or more particles, and changing those properties in any single particle causes the same change in the others. In their simulations, which were published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the Cambridge research team simulated the entanglement of two particles. One of the particles is then sent off to be used in an experiment.

In this situation, “the experimentalist manipulates the second particle to effectively alter the first particle’s past state, changing the outcome of the experiment.” said the study’s co-author Nicole Yunger Halpern, a researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland.

In effect, by changing the remaining particle, the researchers changed the past. At least in their simulations. It’s an effect the researchers described as “remarkable.” However, they say there is a catch. The experiment only changes the past with the new information about 25% of the time.

The researchers made sure to point out that these are just simulations, albeit successful ones programmed in the known behaviors of entangled particles. So even though it effectively proved a way to change the results of an experiment in the past, 25% of the time at least, its ability to achieve a form of backward time travel still shouldn’t necessarily be compared to a certain Flux Capacitor-equipped DeLorean built by a certain Doc Emmet Brown.

She knew everything but the question. She was well aware that there would be a complete annular eclipse of the Sun visible from their driving destination: Lake Abert in Oregon. She knew that the next ring-of-fire eclipse would occur in the USA only in 16 more years, making this a rare photographic opportunity. She was comfortable with the plan: that she and her boyfriend would appear in front of the eclipse in silhouette, sometimes alone, and sometimes together. She knew that the annular phase of this eclipse would last only a few minutes and she helped in the many hours of planning. She could see their friend who set up the camera about 400 meters away at the bottom of a ridge. What she didn't know was the question she would be asked. But she did know the answer: "yes".

Wisconsin Residents Team Up

The Floating Island of Lake Chippewa Has to Be Pushed by Boats Almost Every Year

http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/floating-island.jpg

Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa is home to a giant floating island that sometimes moves around blocking a critically important bridge and needs to be moved by local boat owners working in unison.

Lake Chippewa, aka the Chippewa Flowage, was created in 1923, by flooding a large swamp. Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plant seeds carried by wind and wild birds. As the years passed, the land gained plants, grasses, and trees, and their roots actually caused these floating bogs to grow.

Today, they vary from the size of a parking space to several acres, with the largest of them, the so-called “Forty Acre Bog” on the west side of the lake featuring mature trees. Almost every year, dozens of local boat owners team up to push it away from a bridge connecting the East and West sides of the lake.

Goldie Hawn Reveals Alien Encounter: 'They Touched My Face'

http://www.sott.net/image/s34/690619/large/goldie_hawn.jpg

Goldie Hawn opens up about her close encounter with aliens

The actress spoke about her long-held belief in extraterrestrial beings in the latest episode of Time to Walk, saying that they visited her after she called out to them when she was 20 years old.

"That was a time when, you know, there was a lot of UFO sightings," Hawn said about her time working as a dancer in California in her early 20s. "I remember this so clearly: I went outside my door, and I sat on the little ledge, and I looked up at the dark sky. And I saw all these stars. And all I could think of was, How far does this go? How little are we? Are we the only planet in the whole wide universe that has life on it?"

The actress then called out to any aliens that may have been listening: "I know you're out there, I know we're not alone, and I would like to meet you one day."

Four months later, Hawn was working in West Covina, California, when she asked to take a nap in a friend's car. As she settled down, she said she "got this high-pitched sound in my ear."

While hearing the "high frequency," Hawn claimed to see around three "triangular-shaped heads."

"They were silver in color, slash for a mouth, tiny little nose, no ears. They were pointing at me, pointing at me in the car as if they were discussing me like I was a subject. And they were droning." She described how she was unable to move during the episode until she was able to "burst out" of it.

Getting emotional during the broadcast, Hawn spoke about how the aliens "touched me, and it felt like the finger of God. It was the most benevolent, loving feeling. This was powerful. It was filled with light."

Hawn and her longtime partner, actor Kurt Russell, are no strangers to speaking about their alleged experiences with the otherworldly. Russell told the BBC that he was one to report the headline-making UFO lights over Phoenix in 1997.

Book of the Dead: The Ancient Egyptian Guide to the Afterlife

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rfBvXY8tvG2jQQtH7LyVcD-970-80.jpg

The "Book of the Dead" is a modern-day name given to a series of ancient Egyptian texts that the Egyptians believed would help the dead navigate the underworld, as well as serving other purposes. Copies of these texts were sometimes buried with the dead.

The "Book of the Dead" became popular during the New Kingdom (circa 1550 B.C. to 1070 B.C.), but it was derived from the "Coffin Texts" — so named because they were often written on coffins — and the "Pyramid Texts" that were inscribed on the walls of pyramids. The Coffin Texts were popular during the Middle Kingdom (circa 2030 B.C. to 1640 B.C.), while the Pyramid Texts first appeared in the Old Kingdom's fifth dynasty (circa 2465 B.C. to 2323 B.C.).

The "Book of the Dead" includes individual chapters, or spells. "The ancient Egyptians used the word rꜢ to designate each composition. The word rꜢ is generally translated as 'spell' or 'utterance.' It is written with the hieroglyph of a human mouth because the term was related to speech," said Foy Scalf, the head of research archives at the University of Chicago.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VVVZYJkGP3NHVcaj9MrnZ9.jpg

There wasn't a standard book found in every tomb. Instead, each copy contained different spells. No single 'Book of the Dead' scroll is identical to another. Some spells appear more frequently than others, and some were considered almost essential. One of these essential spells is now known as Spell 17, which discusses the importance of the sun-god Re (also called Ra).

Many copies of the "Book of the Dead" that have been discovered were unearthed in tombs and were likely not read much. And many of the "Book of the Dead" manuscripts that survive today were probably not read much before they were buried with the deceased. The last known copies of the "Book of the Dead" were created in the first or second century A.D.

The ancient Egyptians believed that the body of the deceased could be renewed in the afterlife leaving a person to navigate a place of gods, demons, mysterious locations and potential obstacles. The chapters of the "Book of the Dead" described some of the things one might encounter — such as the weighing of the heart ceremony in which a person's deeds were weighed against the feather of the goddess Maat, a deity associated with justice.

How Hot Is ‘Pepper X’? Its Creator Spent 6 Hours Recovering After Eating It

http://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/32C01F60-06A0-45AF-ADCB59AFE3ADD6E4_source.jpg?w=590&h=800&AFFBC2F8-89CF-4C72-975A1801C8BAE2C9

A new pepper has replaced the Carolina Reaper (pictured) as the world's hottest chili

“Pepper X” is officially the hottest pepper in the world, weighing in with 2.693 million Scoville heat units. This new proprietary pepper, bred by Ed Currie, was recognized last week by Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper ever independently tested. Currie is one of the few people to have tried Pepper X raw. By all reports, a taste test involves a burning sensation followed by several hours of intestinal cramping.

With a spiciness level of 2.693 million Scoville heat units (SHU) on average, Pepper X handily unseats the previous hottest pepper on Earth, the Carolina Reaper—also bred by Currie, who founded the PuckerButt Pepper Company, a hot pepper farm and pepper products supplier in Fort Mill, S.C. (For comparison, a jalapeño reaches 2,000 to 8,000 SHU.)

How a Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Dined

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fb/ac/93/fbac93c013386098fbc4a18d39a457a9.jpg

Ottoman sultans, including the illustrious Suleiman the Magnificent, held a profound appreciation for culinary extravagance. The kitchens of the Topkapi Palace , during the 16th century, teemed with a staggering 500 culinary artisans, a testament to their dedication to gastronomic opulence.

By the turn of the 17th century, this culinary ensemble exceeded a thousand, indicative of the sultan's relentless pursuit of culinary excellence. These sultans, ever the connoisseurs of life's pleasures, spared no expense in their pursuit of culinary delight. Within the labyrinthine corridors of the palace, their pantries were never bare, but repositories of rare treasures.

Exotic spices like ground orchid graced their spice racks, while ingredients from the vast expanse of the Ottoman Empire and beyond found their way onto their dining tables. The sultans' appetites transcended borders, encompassing not only the empire's vast territories but also neighboring lands, including the Persian Empire and China.

In these regal feasts, mere words fail to capture the sheer magnitude of the culinary spectacle. Instead, it is through the extravagance of the culinary displays that one gains a profound appreciation for the dining habits of the Ottoman sultans. Their lavish banquets epitomized the pinnacle of imperial opulence.

Are Ghosts Really Demons? The Most Influential Textbook on Ghosts

Ludwig Lavater - De Spectris (1569)

With the dismissal of Purgatory, early Protestant theologians faced a metaphysical dilemma: How do ghosts and spirits fit into their new theological ecosystem? In 1569 Ludwig Lavater would publish De Spectris (On Ghosts), a text that would go on to become the most popular textbook on ghosts for generations of interested parties, including William Shakespeare.

On Thursday, Nov. 2, the eastward prograde motion of the large, main belt asteroid Vesta through the background stars of Gemini (red path) will slow to a stop.

Tonight magnitude 6.7 Vesta will be relatively easy to find in binoculars (orange circle) and backyard telescopes in the eastern sky between the feet of the twins. Search midway between the stars Tejat Posterior and Alhena, both of which are visible with your unaided eyes or binoculars.

On Thursday night, Nov. 2 in the Americas, Jupiter will reach opposition among the stars of southern Aries. At opposition, planets rise in the east at sunset and cross the sky all night long before setting in the west at sunrise. Jupiter will also be at a minimum distance from Earth for this year of 370.2 million miles, 595.8 million km, or 33.1 light-minutes, boosting its brilliance to magnitude -2.91.

Friday, Nov. 3: A Pretty Moon near Pollux (late night)

International Space Station - NASA Astronauts Complete 4th All Female Spacewalk

Two NASA astronauts completed their first spacewalk together outside of the International Space Station, the fourth all-female EVA (extravehicular activity) in history.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ev6FMYr9bZRr8qNxPn6gnD-970-80.jpg
NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli (at left, in the spacesuit with red stripes) and Loral O'Hara are seen working outside of the ISS

Expedition 70 crewmates Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara replaced a bearing to keep the solar arrays on the International Space Station (ISS) rotating properly and conducted other maintenance activities, but ran out of time to finish the other major task planned for the spacewalk, the removal of an electronics box from a communications antenna.

Moghbeli and O'Hara switched their spacesuits to battery power at 8:05 a.m. EDT (1205 GMT) on Wednesday (Nov. 1), marking the official start of the EVA. After exiting the U.S. Quest airlock and configuring their tethers and tools, the two astronauts went separate ways to tackle their first scheduled tasks.

Moghbeli first focused on the removal of a handling fixture, clearing the way for the future installation of an additional ISS roll-out solar array (iROSA). The additional array, together with five earlier extended arrays, will augment the station's power supply to support expanded commercial activities on the orbiting outpost.

O'Hara, meanwhile, began the work to begin replacing one of 12 trundle bearing assemblies on a solar alpha rotary joint (SARJ) on the port (or left) side of the station's backbone truss. She pulled back the insulation blankets covering the toothed race ring on which the bearings run and, after an inspection, reported seeing no metal shavings or damage caused by the outgoing assembly.

Unfortunately, the trundle bearing did not come free as easily as expected. O'Hara, assisted by Moghbeli, ran into delays loosening the bolts holding the degraded trundle bearing in place. Though it finally came loose, it left Moghbeli and O'Hara about an hour behind in the schedule.

The two spacewalkers then moved on to get what work they could do in the available time left to prepare an electronics box, called the Radio Frequency Group (RFG), for its removal. The same task proved troublesome during an earlier EVA conducted by NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen and United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi in April 2023.

Towards the end of the spacewalk, O'Hara reported that her communications carrier (or "Snoopy cap") was sliding down her forehead, but not impeding her vision. With her tasks complete, Mission Control directed her to return to the airlock as Moghbeli collected her tools and then did the same.

The spacewalk ended with Moghbeli and O'Hara back inside the Quest airlock as it began being re-pressurized at 2:47 p.m. EDT (1847 GMT) for a total time of 6 hours and 42 minutes.

"This is a very special moment for me, going on my first spacewalk with a good friend and someone I really look up to, Loral," said Moghbeli from inside the airlock.

Annular Solar Eclipse Over Utah by MaryBeth Kiczenski

http://apod.nasa.gov

Part of the Sun disappeared earlier this month, but few people were worried. The missing part, which included the center from some locations, just went behind the Moon in what is known as an annular solar eclipse.

Featured here is an eclipse sequence taken as the Moon was overtaking the rising Sun in the sky. The foreground hill is Factory Butte in Utah, USA. The rays flaring out from the Sun are not real -- they result from camera aperture diffraction and are known as sunstar. The Moon is real, but it is artificially brightened to enhance its outline -- which helps the viewer better visualize the Moon's changing position during this ring-of-fire eclipse.

As stunning as this eclipse sequence is, it was considered just practice by the astrophotographer. The reason? She hopes to use this experience to better photograph the total solar eclipse that will occur over North America on April 8, 2024.

Space Junk Is Polluting Earth’s Stratosphere with Vaporized Metal

Defunct satellites and other pieces of orbital debris are pumping metals into Earth’s fragile upper atmosphere, with effects unknown.

http://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/8E5AE71C-1A01-46D5-B48F8AFCB44186C5_source.jpg?w=590&h=800&D78780E8-D289-4455-A81E38DB674D089C

Humanity’s messy fingerprints, from disposable grocery bags adrift in the deepest oceanic trenches to microplastic-laced snowfall on the tallest mountaintops, litter Earth—and each contaminant poses potential environmental hazards that remain poorly understood. Now scientists have found another pollutant to worry about: vaporized metals from burned-up space junk that are floating around in Earth’s stratosphere, the same atmospheric region that holds our planet’s fragile, protective ozone layer.

In a series of high-altitude research flights over Alaska and the U.S. Midwest in March and April, researchers sampled stratospheric air using specialized mass spectrometers. They discovered surprising amounts of many metals commonly used in rockets and satellites, often in ratios mirroring those found in specific high-performance aerospace alloys. The investigation revealed that the metals are accumulating within sulfuric acid particles, which constitute most of the stratosphere’s particulates and influence our world’s ozone layer and climate.

Although only about 10 percent of the sampled sulfuric acid particles contained spacecraft-sourced metals, the researchers forecast that value could grow to 50 percent or more in the coming decades because of skyrocketing numbers of launches and satellites.

This video is a special release from Jeffrey Mishlove's Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded circa 1996.

The deep structure of reality is related to both linguistics and to synchronicity. In Part One of this two-part program, Robert Anton Wilson speaks with characteristic humor of his involvement in the Discordian Society which honors the two great cosmic forces of order and chaos. He also makes observations about such religious movements as the Church of the Subgenius, and the Church of Fred Mertz Boddhisatva.

Mr Wilson is a humorist, novelist, guerilla ontologist and futurist psychologist. He is author of twenty-six books including the classic Illuminatus trilogy, the Schrödinger's Cat trilogy, The Cosmic Trigger, Coincidance, Prometheus Rising, Ishtar Rising, Masks Of The Illuminati, Wilhelm Reich In Hell, Quantum Psychology and Reality Is What You Can Get Away With.

Taurid Meteor Shower 2023

The Taurid meteor showers are known for throwing out fireballs every few years

http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/gazette.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/5e/35edf528-0267-11ea-bac2-2363b63292f1/5dc5d19120115.image.jpg?resize=1024%2C683

As November begins, the leaves aren’t the only things that will be falling from the sky. The season also brings an astronomy extravaganza in the form of not one, but two Taurid meteor showers. That's right: The Taurids are the meteor shower that’s so nice, we get to see it twice, with the Southern Taurid shower peak occurring in early November and the Northern Taurid meteor shower peaking a little later this month.

Meteors are small bits of space rock and dust that fall from passing asteroids and comets and which burn up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere and fall as shooting stars. The Southern Taurid meteor showers are made up of pieces of detritus come from the comet Encke, a three-mile-wide chunk of ice which is visible from Earth every three years or so.

The Northern Taurids, meanwhile, come not from a comet but from an asteroid named 2004TG10, whose orbit around the Sun is similar to that of comet Encke.

Both Taurid meteor showers get their name because they appear to originate in the Taurus constellation, close to the star Aldebaran, although there is no connection.

The Southern Taurids come first. The Southern Taurids have been going on since mid-September but aren’t expected to peak until Nov. 6. They’ll continue on until Nov. 12. The Northern Taurids will follow a week later, with an expected peak on the night of Nov. 13 and ending on Dec. 2.

Unlike some other meteor showers, like the Orionids, the Taurids are not known for quantity, but rather quality: Just five meteors are expected to fall per hour, but they are known for being particularly bright and easy to spot. They’re also known for lasting longer than other meteors as the bits of rock thrown off the Encke are typically large and take longer to burn up.

Cats Have Nearly 300 Facial Expressions, Including a 'Play Face' They Share With Humans

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/3bwzKVPwcJARKBfKKeFY3R-650-80.jpg

Researchers recorded hundreds of facial expressions in cats, finding they're not quite as aloof as previously thought.

Over the course of a year, researchers recorded a total of 276 distinct facial expressions used among a colony of 50 cats living at a cat cafe in Los Angeles. The felines' faces ranged from playful to aggressive and everything in between, according to the study, published Oct. 18 in the journal Behavioural Processes.

This is one of the first studies to do a deep dive into the ways felines communicate beyond the obvious purring and meowing. Facial expressions in dogs, chimpanzees and humans have been well studied, revealing that humans have 44 facial expressions, canines have 27 and chimps have a whopping 357.

But there was a paucity of research on cat expressiveness.

"The literature is so sparse, and many studies only focus on the connection between cats and humans over the course of 10,000 years of domestication," study co-author Brittany Florkiewicz, an assistant professor of psychology at Lyon College in Arkansas. "At the cat cafe, we were able to document spontaneous interactions between the cats and record their facial expressions."

Each individual expression combined roughly four of 26 unique facial movements, including parted lips, dilated or constricted pupils, blinking, curled corners of the mouth, nose licks and different ear positions, according to the study.

"It was surprising to see them play-fighting, and then things escalated into an aggressive encounter," Florkiewicz said. "You can see a change in their facial expressions. At first one cat's eyes were more relaxed and its ears and whiskers were pushed forward, a movement to get closer to the other cat. But then things got ugly, and it moved its ears and whiskers backward — its demeanor changed pretty quickly."

After reviewing their recordings, the researchers concluded that more of the felines' expressions were friendly (45%) than aggressive (37%). Another 18% were ambiguous or fell into both categories.

Researchers also found that many of the faces, including what they called "a common play face" — expressed with the corners of the mouth drawn back and the jaw dropped to form a laugh — was similar across a number of species, including people, dogs and monkeys.

Love Lost & Found

http://nebula.wsimg.com/86d1aa7c2ccc53b4d11b96a22e55d6b3?AccessKeyId=5EDB64CDAA429595E933&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

French love letters confiscated by Britain 265 years ago are opened for the first time.

Over 100 letters sent to French sailors by their fiancées, wives, parents and siblings – but never delivered – have been opened and studied for the first time since they were written in 1757-8. The messages offer extremely rare and moving insights into the loves, lives and family quarrels of everyone from elderly peasants to wealthy officer’s wives.

The messages were seized by Britain’s Royal Navy during the Seven Years’ War, taken to the Admiralty in London and never opened.

Professor Renaud Morieux, from Cambridge University’s History Faculty and Pembroke College, spent months decoding these and 102 other letters written with chaotic spelling, no punctuation and/or capitalization, and filling every inch of the expensive paper they appear on. He published his findings in the journal Annales, Histoire, Sciences, Sociales.

The French postal administration had tried to deliver the letters to the ship, sending them to multiple ports in France, but always arrived just too late. When they heard that the ship had been captured, they forwarded the letters to England, where they were handed to the Admiralty in London.

“It’s agonising how close they got,” Morieux said. He believes that officials opened and read two letters to see if they had any military value but deciding they only contained “family stuff”, gave up and put them into storage.

“I only ordered the box out of curiosity,” Morieux said. “There were three piles of letters held together by ribbon. The letters were very small and were sealed so I asked the archivist if they could be opened and he did.

“These letters are about universal human experiences, they’re not unique to France or the eighteenth century. They reveal how we all cope with major life challenges. When we are separated from loved-ones by events beyond our control like the pandemic or wars, we have to work out how to stay in touch, how to reassure, care for people and keep the passion alive.

Today we have Zoom and WhatsApp. In the eighteenth century, people only had letters, but what they wrote about feels very familiar.”

UFO Sighting News

UAP On Security Cam, Saint Louis, Missouri, 6-15-2023

Unusual lights and sounds pull curious residents outdoors.

Eyewitness:

"I was watching TV late at night with my husband in our basement apartment. I kept hearing something like a lawn mower on mute, but he did not. It was driving me nuts, so I rushed outside to see it the next time I heard it. I looked up, and saw a rectangular object over my head. It was the brightest thing I had ever seen. It had three unwavering lights. The bottom two lights were white and rectangular; the top light was a red square. It was flying low, and it did not make a sound when I was under it. I watched as it flew away, then went inside and told my husband. He came outside with me, but it was gone. Later, I reviewed our cameras, and saw it. My camera recorded it, but it recorded something completely different. The camera picked up a very bright white orb damn near hovering over my house. It was flying incredibly low (that particular camera was placed about hip height). It shows the orb close to our basement entrance 5 minutes before I come outside. It then records me staring up at the object (orb to the camera, rectangle to me)."

Pentagon UFO Boss Steps Down After Explosive Admission

http://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/SEI_179453321-6e42.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=644%2C362

The head of the Pentagon’s UFO office is retiring, days after admitting there could be some truth in a whistleblower’s shocking claims that the US government is hiding evidence of aliens.

In an interview with Politico, Dr Sean Kirkpatrick said he had decided to step down after achieving his goals, having postponed retirement to take on the role.

Dr Kirkpatrick has been director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) since it was founded by the Biden administration last year, and in the 18 months since its inception the issue of UFOs has generated much public and political interest.

This reached a fever pitch in the summer after former US intelligence officer David Charles Grusch alleged the government had evidence of ‘intact and partially intact’ alien vehicles.

During his watch AARO launched a website sharing declassified information on UFOs – which now allows troops and government employees to report their own sightings. He also co-authored a draft paper with Harvard ‘alien hunter’ Professor Avi Loeb, leaked online, which suggested the UAP studied by AARO could be ‘alien probes’ sent to study Earth by a mothership out in the cosmos.

His resignation may come as a pleasant surprise to many UFO enthusiasts, who have previously labelled Dr Kirkpatrick as a ‘gatekeeper’, helping to keep the government’s UFO secrets.

The Night Sky

Saturday, Nov. 11: Northern Taurids meteor shower peak (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nciycooBzSqmDaka72AJVA-970-80.jpg

The Northern Taurids meteor shower, which runs worldwide from Oct. 20 to Dec. 10 annually, will reach its maximum overnight on Saturday, Nov. 11 in the Americas. The best viewing time for North American skywatchers will be the hours around midnight when the shower's radiant near the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus will be well above the horizon in a dark, moonless sky. Some Taurids should also be visible on Sunday night.

The long-lasting, weak shower is the second of two consecutive showers derived from debris dropped by the passage of periodic Comet 2P/Encke. The Northern Taurids shower typically delivers five meteors per hour at its peak. The larger-than-average grain sizes of the particles often produce colorful fireballs.

Monday, Nov. 13: Uranus at opposition (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4NHF8xZLf6vaLiYX72GfiA-970-80.jpg

On Monday, Nov. 13 Uranus will reach opposition — the night of the year when it is closest to Earth at a distance of 1.74 billion miles, 2.78 billion km, or 155 light-minutes.

The planet will shine at a peak brightness of magnitude 5.62 as it crosses the sky all night long, making it readily visible in binoculars and backyard telescopes. Uranus' small, blue-green dot will also appear slightly larger in telescopes for about a week centered on opposition night.

http://earthsky.org/upl/2023/04/2023-November-13-Uranus-opposition.jpg

Uranus at opposition on November 13, 2023, at 17 UTC (11 a.m. CDT). At that time, it lies opposite the sun in the sky. Uranus is 2.6 light-hours distant (18.6 AU) from Earth. Bright Jupiter – reached opposition on November 2-3, 2023 – can help you locate dim Uranus. In addition, the Pleiades star cluster glimmers nearby.

Monday, Nov. 13: New Moon (at 4:27 EST)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/qZsNMgiN9bpQMYfiBnKrcA-970-80.jpg

The moon will reach its new phase on Monday, Nov. 13 at 4:27 a.m. EST, 1:27 a.m. PST, or 09:27 GMT. At that time our natural satellite will be located in Libra, 2.5 degrees south of the sun.

While new, the moon is traveling between Earth and the sun. Since sunlight can only reach the far side of the moon, and the moon is in the same region of the sky as the sun, the moon becomes unobservable from anywhere on Earth for about a day (except during a solar eclipse). On the evenings following the new moon phase, Earth's planetary partner will return to shine in the western sky after sunset.

It would be a mistake to underestimate the lasting impression American cartoonist Dan DeCarlo (1919-2001) has had on contemporary art. He is known for having developed the look of Archie Comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s, modernizing the characters to their contemporary appearance and establishing the publisher's style up until his death (and afterward). He defined teen humor for half a century. As well, he is the recognized co-creator of the characters Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Josie and the Pussycats (the title character of which was named for his wife), and Cheryl Blossom. His influence continues to be seen in other genres and countries. Here, pre-Archies and pre-Jetsons, is Jetta of the 21st Century, c. 1953.

They may have found the source of king Solomon's wealth.

ancient-origins (https://www.ancient-origins.net/videos/king-solomons-wealth-0019795)

In the quest to uncover the source of King Solomon's fabled riches, archaeologists have made a remarkable discovery in the arid landscapes of southern Israel, near Timna. These ancient mining sites, dating back 3,000 years to the era of King Solomon, provide valuable insights into the origin of his wealth. While not the glittering gold or silver that one might expect, the key to Solomon's fortune lies hidden in the telltale green streaks within the rocks - copper.

The remnants of this thriving copper industry are strewn across the site, with the black slag, a byproduct of copper smelting, serving as crucial evidence of the copper production in Timna. In the context of that era, copper was an economic powerhouse, much like today's crude oil. It was an indispensable resource, essential for crafting tools and weapons, marking a significant turning point in human history. Through a laborious process, our ancestors transformed copper ore into pure metal through smelting, involving the relentless effort of artisans who blew oxygen into fires, achieving temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Could this mine, dating back to a time when copper could be more precious than gold, explain Solomon’s legendary riches?

How Hummingbirds Fly Through Spaces Too Narrow For Their Wings

http://www.sciencenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/110923_EG_hummingbird_feat-1030x580.jpeg

In a recent study and video release pilots and engineers are watching closely, high-speed cameras show how the tiny birds keep flapping their wings as they fly sideways.

Hummingbirds are natural acrobats, twisting their wings in ways that let them fly backward and upside down, unlike any other bird. New high-speed video now shows how, using a bit of aerial gymnastics, hummingbirds can also slip through gaps narrower than their wingspan.

https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/APkrFKakksq0mFk8MfheK_KOhErgnpGu85Zi5TB8mU52KQ=s48-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj

See in slow motion how a hummingbird navigates a narrow gap | Science News

A male Anna’s hummingbird crosses an 8-centimeter-wide opening, smaller than its 12-centimeter wingspan. Viewed from the side and below, the bird first flies though the hole at a sideways angle in the first clip, fluttering its wings to avoid hitting the barrier. In the second video clip, the hummingbird tucks its wings back against its body as it passes through the hole like a bullet. The clips show each style of flight first at actual speed and then one-twentieth normal speed.

Most birds can bend their wings at the wrist, pulling arched wings close to their bodies to navigate their way through dense vegetation like branches. But hummingbird wings aren’t as flexible. Because the wings stick straight out from a hummingbird’s body, getting through tight spaces requires some tricky maneuvering.

Anna’s hummingbirds (Calypte anna) fly sideways to make it through holes too small for their rigid wings, researchers report November 9 in the Journal of Experimental Biology. To avoid hitting a hole’s sides, the birds also flutter their wings while flying through a tight space rather than using their full range of motion for each wingbeat. After successfully navigating the obstacle a few times, the birds switch it up, flattening their wings against their bodies and shooting through holes like a bullet.

“This is a new insight into the amazing capacity of hummingbirds,” says Bret Tobalske, a biomechanist at the University of Montana in Missoula who wasn’t involved with the research. Sideways flight to maneuver through gaps is “pretty remarkable” and highlights how unique hummingbirds are among birds, he says.

On the evening of Thursday, Nov. 16, and afterward, the young crescent moon will shine low in the southwestern sky after sunset.

Watch for Earthshine, also known as the Ashen Glow and "the old moon in the new moon's arms". That's sunlight reflected off Earth and back onto the moon, slightly brightening the dark portion of the moon's Earth-facing hemisphere.

The annual Leonids meteor shower, derived from material left by repeated passages of periodic Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, runs from Nov. 6 to Nov. 30.

The peak of the shower, when up to 15 meteors per hour are predicted, will occur overnight on Friday, Nov. 17 in the Americas. At that time, Earth will be traversing the densest part of the comet's debris train. While you should see a few Leonids after dusk on Friday evening — many with persistent trains — more of them will be apparent on Saturday in the hours before dawn when the radiant in the head of Leo will be highest in the southeastern sky.

The waxing crescent moon will set well before midnight on Friday, leaving the rest of the night with dark skies for star and meteor-watching.

As, Mount Etna in Italy produced a stunning paroxysm, while in Indonesia, the Dukono volcano produced its largest eruption in nearly a decade. Meanwhile, in Hawaii, earthquakes temporarily propagated further down Kilauea's southwest rift zone. And, in Iceland, magma reached shallow depths at the Reykjanes volcano, leading to the complete evacuation of the town of Grindavik.

NASA Telescope Data Becomes Music Anyone Can Play

http://images.news9live.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/NASA_Chandra-sonification.jpg?w=1200&enlarge=true

For millennia, musicians have looked to the heavens for inspiration. Now a new collaboration is enabling actual data from NASA telescopes to be used as the basis for original music that can be played by humans.

Since 2020, the "sonification" project at NASA's Chandra X-ray Center has translated the digital data taken by telescopes into notes and sounds. This process allows the listener to experience the data through the sense of hearing instead of seeing it as images, a more common way to present astronomical data.

A new phase of the sonification project takes the data into different territory. Working with composer Sophie Kastner, the team has developed versions of the data that can be played by musicians.

"It's like a writing a fictional story that is largely based on real facts," said Kastner. "We are taking the data from space that has been translated into sound and putting a new and human twist on it."

This pilot program focuses on data from a small region at the center of our Milky Way galaxy where a supermassive black hole resides. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and retired Spitzer Space Telescope have all studied this area, which spans about 400 light-years across.

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra X-ray Center controls science operations from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and flight operations from Burlington, Massachusetts.

"Where Parallel Lines Converge" is a sonic rendering of a composite image of the Galactic Center, or the center of our Milky Way galaxy, with data from NASA’s Chandra, Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. The song is a tryptic, highlighting three astronomical objects or moments in the image: the X-ray binary, the arched filaments, and the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.

The piece was conceived using the same principles as the original NASA Chandra data sonifications, converting data to sound by matching different parameters of the image with musical parameters. Composed by Sophie Kastner, this was recorded by Montreal based Ensemble Eclat conducted by Charles-Eric LaFontaine on July 19, 2023 at McGill University.

Angela Hill: The UFC Fighter Whose Family is Part of UFO Folklore

http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1542988611624189953/2y_mcWfl_400x400.jpg

She's a baaad … (Shut yo mouth!)

UFC veteran Angela Hill, known for her fierce style of fighting, is a follower of the extra-terrestrial, a watcher of the skies – she has no doubt that aliens exist, and there is good reason for it.

Her family has a special place in UFO folklore. On a September night in 1961, Hill's grandparents, Barney and Betty, believed they were abducted by aliens.

"It has always been a part of our family history," Hill says.

"It has always been a fact to us. We know something happened, even if it isn't exactly what has been put out there."

It is one of America's most famous alien abduction tales and has been adapted into a best-selling book, ('The Interrupted Journey'), a TV show ('The UFO Incident'), and a current special in development for Netflix.

Hill says: "It was one of those things I always knew about, and I didn't think it was weird until I mentioned it to a friend and then they would look it up. It was a really big deal that you could Wikipedia my grandfather."

They were an interracial couple, Barney an African American and Betty was white, something Hill believes adds an extra layer to this story.

"One of the most interesting parts of it is that it's a black guy getting abducted by aliens," Hill says. "The 'Nope' movie [directed by Jordan Peele] is pretty much my grandfather."

'Nope' was a hit UFO horror film released in 2022 and set in California.

Hill feels her side of the family have been overlooked since her grandfather died. She says they have not been approached by Barack Obama's production company, Higher Ground, which is making a Netflix film about the incident.

Science Data: Your Personality Depends on Which U.S. State You Live In

Does where you live have any bearing on the kind of personality you have? Science says yes, and these maps show how.

But which science is that, exactly? It sounds like something cooked up after hours in the back alley between the geography and psychology departments. When this rogue discipline becomes respectable enough to get its own lab, it will need its own name.

'Geopsychology' sounds about right to describe the systematic study of regional differences in the distribution of personality traits, especially since those differences do indeed seem to be 'robust'.

The traits examined on the maps are the so-called Big Five, a grouping of five broad personality dimensions that started gaining currency in academic psychology in the 1980s and are often referred to by their acronym, CANOE:

Conscientiousness
Agreeableness
Neuroticism (aka, Emotional Stability)
Openness
Extraversion

Among all those variables, geographic location seems to have a significant effect on the prevalence of these traits—hence, geopsychology. On these maps, red means higher than average, green means lower. Darker means greater distance from the average.

Little Planet Aurora by Victor Lima

https://apod.nasa.gov/

Immersed in an eerie greenish light, this rugged little planet appears to be home to stunning water falls and an impossibly tall mountain. It's planet Earth of course.

On the night of November 9 the nadir-centered 360 degree mosaic was captured by digital camera from the Kirkjufell mountain area of western Iceland. Curtains of shimmering Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights provide the pale greenish illumination. The intense auroral display was caused by solar activity that rocked Earth's magnetosphere in early November and produced strong geomagnetic storms.

Kirkjufell mountain itself stands at the top of the stereographic projection's circular horizon. Northern hemisphere skygazers will recognize the familiar stars of the Big Dipper just above Kirkjufell's peak. At lower right the compact Pleiades star cluster and truly giant planet Jupiter also shine in this little planet's night sky.

How Big Is Too Big? Bat’s Enormous Penis Makes Penetration Impossible

http://www.science.org/do/10.1126/science.adn0624/full/_20231117_on_bat_penis-1700496007347.jpg

If you go out walking at dusk nearly anywhere in Europe or Asia, you’re likely to catch a glimpse of a serotine bat (Eptesicus serotinus) in flight. These furry creatures are a familiar sight, known to roost in chimneys and in the gables of old churches. But although serotine bats are quite common, scientists have yet to unravel all their mysteries. In fact, up until recently, the male of this species was hiding a truly astonishing secret: a penis so large that it makes “traditional” sex impossible.

“People have always wondered why bats have such large penises,” says Brock Fenton, a biologist at the University of Western Ontario who’s been studying the animals since the 1970s. Even then, he and his fellow researchers pondered whether such oversize members might pose a problem for penetration. “The penis is too big. The vagina is too small. How does it work?”

According to a recent study published in Current Biology, at least in the case of serotine bats ... it doesn’t. Instead of mating via penetrative sex, the authors report, these bats engage in contact mating, in which sperm is transferred simply by rubbing the genitalia together, a behavior never before documented in mammals.

When it comes to sex, bats have always been full of surprises. Some mate hanging upside down from branches, whereas others get down and dirty on cave walls and in rocky crevices. Few are monogamous, and many different species are known to engage in same-sex behavior. There’s some evidence that female short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx) fellate their mates to prolong copulation, and male Indian flying foxes (Pteropus giganteus) have been observed performing cunnilingus on their partners with the same goal in mind.

Invisible Hydrogen Halo: Revealing a Galaxy’s Hidden Polar Ring

http://scitechdaily.com/images/Polar-Ring-Galaxy-NGC-4632-777x971.jpg

Galaxy NGC 4632 harbors a concealed feature invisible to optical telescopes. This galaxy is encircled by a cool hydrogen gas ring that orbits perpendicularly to its spiral disk. Polar ring galaxies, known for such unique formations, are typically identified through starlight observations. However, NGC 4632 stands out as one of the initial discoveries made using a radio telescope survey.

The existence of polar rings raises intriguing questions. One theory suggests they might form from material drawn out of a galaxy during gravitational interactions with a neighboring galaxy. Another possibility is the accumulation of hydrogen gas from the cosmic web’s filaments, which then forms a ring around a galaxy. Over time, some of this gas may contract gravitationally, leading to star formation.

Planting flowers beside food crops on farms in India attracts bees, boosts pollination and improves crop yield and quality, researchers have found.

The research, the first Indian study of its kind, was published November 28 in the Journal of Applied Ecology and was carried out in South India by ecologists from the University of Reading, U.K., and the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation, India.

By planting companion marigold flowers and red gram crops alongside Moringa trees in orchards, the research team increased the abundance and diversity of flower-visiting insects, ultimately improving pollination and boosting crop yield.

Flower visitor numbers and diversity were 50% and 33% higher in sites with red gram and marigold flowers compared to those without. Sites with higher numbers of flower visiting insects also showed better quality of crops, with bigger moringa pods. The sites with red gram and marigold flowers which had previously suffered from a lack of pollination saw higher yields. Numbers of harvestable moringa fruits increased by 30% in the orchards with co-flowering crops, compared to those without.

That video reminds me of an episode of Fringe called "The Man from the Other Side."

fringe.fandom (https://fringe.fandom.com/wiki/The_Man_from_the_Other_Side)

Over the next day, Newton's Shape-shifters plant two more devices, one in a hospital morgue and another on a power pole. Walter states that the devices will be used to form an equilateral triangle, in the center of which the crossover will take place. Discovering that the morgue and the bank are two of the three points of the triangle, they determine two possible options for the third point, with two possible options for the center crossover point. One of these crossover points is a bridge over a river, which Olivia and Walter know will be the choice since Walter told her when he crossed over (in Peter (episode)) he chose a frozen lake because the water would help with the vibrations. Walter also develops a program that should shut down Newtown's vibrations to create a doorway, warning everyone that the vibrations caused would tear a man apart.

Cepheus the King

http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/images/cepheus-bode1-960.jpg

Cepheus was the mythological king of Ethiopia. He was deemed worthy of a place in the sky because he was fourth in descent from the nymph Io, one of the loves of Zeus – and having Zeus as a relative was always an advantage when it came to being commemorated among the constellations. The kingdom of Cepheus was not the Ethiopia we know today, but stretched from the south-eastern shore of the Mediterranean southwards to the Red Sea, an area that contains parts of the modern Israel, Jordan, and Egypt.

Cepheus (Κηφεύς in Greek) was married to Cassiopeia, an unbearably vain woman whose boastfulness caused Poseidon to send a sea monster, Cetus, to ravage the shores of Cepheus’s kingdom. Cepheus was instructed by the Oracle of Ammon to chain his daughter Andromeda to a rock in sacrifice to the monster. She was saved by the hero Perseus, who killed the monster and claimed Andromeda for his bride.

Today, the family has been immortalized as modern day constellations.

Progress MS-25 Brings Fresh Supplies to Space Station Crew

http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/wp-content/themes/sfi-2016/images/header.jpg

Russia’s uncrewed Progress MS-25 cargo spacecraft docked with the International Space Station to resupply the seven-person Expedition 70 crew living aboard the outpost.

http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/52717982188_8fd8abfff7_k-768x432.jpg
Progress MS-21 departs the space station in February 2023

The spacecraft launched atop a Soyuz 2.1a rocket at 4:25 a.m. EST (09:25 UTC) Dec. 1 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to begin a two-day rendezvous profile. Progress MS-25 docked with the space-facing Poisk module at 6:18 a.m. EST (11:18 UTC) Dec. 3.

During approach to the space station, which is usually automated, there was an alignment issue that required Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko to take over manual control remotely from inside the ISS. The issue occurred during the flyaround phase of rendezvous while Progress was about 180 meters away from the outpost. Kononenko used the TORU docking system inside the station’s Zvezda module to guide the vehicle back into alignment before manually docking the spacecraft.

Aboard the cargo freighter is some 5,600 pounds (2,500 kilograms) of supplies, including food, consumables, experiments and hardware. Progress MS-25 will remain at the ISS for about six months, during which time it’ll be unloaded of its contents and reloaded with trash and unneeded equipment.

Energetic Particle Strikes the Earth

“It was one of the most energetic particles ever known to strike the Earth! – but where did it come from? Dubbed Amaterasu after the Shinto sun goddess, this particle, as do all cosmic rays that strike the Earth's atmosphere, caused an air shower of electrons, protons, and other elementary particles to spray down onto the Earth below! In the featured illustration, a cosmic ray air shower is pictured striking the Telescope Array in Utah, USA, which recorded the Amaterasu event in 2021 May! Cosmic ray air showers are common enough that you likely have been in a particle spray yourself, although you likely wouldn't have noticed! The origin of this energetic particle, likely the nucleus of an atom, remains a mystery in two ways! First, it is not known how any single particle or atomic nucleus can practically acquire so much energy, and second, attempts to trace the particle back to where it originated have been unsuccessful! Have a great day, everyone, and I will see you in class!”

December Evenings: Saturn

Golden Saturn will shine in the southwest after sunset during December. It will be in the constellation Aquarius, the Water Bearer. Our solar system’s beautiful ringed planet will be fading a bit as it recedes from Earth and will shine at +0.9 magnitude for most of the month. Saturn will be a little brighter than the nearby lonely star, Fomalhaut, which shines around 1st magnitude. The waxing gibbous moon will visit Saturn on the evenings of December 17, 2023. Saturn will set by mid-evening your local time this month.

Apparently this is a sporting event celebration, but after translating, I found it fascinating how the incident was described to the Columbian citizens.

Translation:

Many Internet users attributed this phenomenon to the beginning of the Blue Beam project. Learn the truth behind what happened.

Recently, several users went viral through the TikTok social network a series of videos that showed strange red lights flying over the sky of the Colombian capital, a fact that aroused the intrigue and curiosity of many Internet users, who wondered about what this phenomenon was about.

As expected, there was no shortage of conspiracy theorists who attributed this fact to the beginning of the so-called 'Blue Beam' project, whose theory has been circulating since 1994, when the Canadian journalist Serge Monast spoke about the subject for the first time.

This world control project, also known as the 'Divine Enlightenment Project', describes ufological and divine events as productions of a “possible glorious advent of Jesus Christ” created by power groups such as the US government or NASA.

According to believers in this theory, the multiple sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) that have been recorded in recent years worldwide would have the purpose of controlling human consciousness through fear to implement a New World Order.

The author of this theory, who was found dead after making it known, stated at the time that he was being persecuted by the authorities for publishing classified information. According to some believers in the subject, both the author and the co-author, who supposedly died of heart attacks in 1996, were really murdered, since neither had a history of heart disease.

Monast's theory assured that the project would begin to be implemented in 1983 and would be completed in the year 2030, going through a total of four phases: the reevaluation of archaeological knowledge, the space spectacle, telepathic communication and finally the supernatural manifestations.

In the first stage, earthquakes and natural disasters would be caused artificially and in precise locations to implement the discovery of new archaeological discoveries, reevaluating the religious bases.

In the second, beings from other planets would begin to make their presence known, which would be what is happening today. According to the theory, this would be carried out through holograms and laser projections in different parts of the world.

The purpose of this second stage would be to impose a single religion, a single type of currency and a single ideology on the nations of the world, thus creating what would be called a New World Order, controlled by a select and small group of people.

In the third stage, frequency waves would be created with which it will be possible to locate human beings through their brains. In this way, the government will be able to know what each person thinks and modify thoughts as they wish.

Finally, in the fourth stage of this plan, these people will manage to convince the entire human race that an alien invasion will soon arrive in every major city on Earth, thus unleashing a great nuclear war to respond to this event. The objective of this last phase will be to generate total disarmament before the United Nations after the false attack.

Due to the above, the phenomenon witnessed in Bogotá was related to this project. However, other users on social networks gave a more logical explanation for the presence of these red lights. These would be flares in celebration of the soccer final between the América de Cali sports team, whose distinctive color is red, and the Millonarios ambassador.

The Sky This Week – New Moon – Geminids

Monday, Dec. 11: Watch Algol fade (starting at 7:34 pm EST)

Algol, also designated Beta Persei, is among the most easily observed variable stars for skywatchers. During a ten-hour period that repeats every 2 days, 20 hours, and 49 minutes, Algol's visual brightness dims and re-brightens noticeably when a companion star orbiting nearly edge-on to Earth crosses in front of the much brighter main star, reducing the total light output we receive.

Tuesday, Dec. 12: New Moon (at 6:32 p.m. EST (2332 GMT)

While new, the moon is traveling between Earth and the sun. Since sunlight can only reach the far side of the moon, and the moon is in the same region of the sky as the sun, the moon becomes unobservable from anywhere on Earth for about a day.

Wednesday, Dec. 13: Geminids Meteor Shower Peak (overnight)

Geminid meteors are often bright, intensely colored, and slower-moving than average because they are produced by sand-sized grains dropped by the asteroid designated 3200 Phaethon.

Was Going to Space a Good Idea?

http://www.spxdaily.com/images-hg/astronaut-eva-backpack-marker-hg.jpg

In 1963, six years after the first satellite was launched, editors from the Encyclopaedia Britannica posed a question to five eminent thinkers of the day: "Has man's conquest of space increased or diminished his stature?" The respondents were philosopher Hannah Arendt, writer Aldous Huxley, theologian Paul Tillich, nuclear scientist Harrison Brown and historian Herbert J. Muller.

Sixty years later, as the rush to space accelerates, what can we learn from these 20th-century luminaries writing at the dawn of the space age?

Despite tremendous changes in spaceflight, Huxley, Tillich, and Arendt have some illuminating insights.

http://ap-pics2.gotpoem.com/ap-pics/user/4915/265big.jpg?aldoushuxleyjpeg322

Huxley is famous for his 1932 dystopian science fiction novel Brave New World, and his experimental use of psychedelic drugs.

In his essay, he questioned who this "man" who had conquered space was, noting it was not humans as a species but Western urban-industrial society that had sent emissaries into space.

This has not changed. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty says space is the province of all humanity, but in reality it's dominated by a few wealthy nations and individuals.

Huxley said the notion of "stature" assumed humans had a special and different status to other living beings. Given the immensity of space, talking of conquest was, in his opinion, "a trifle silly".

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Paul_Tillich.jpg

Tillich was a theologian who fled Nazi Germany before the second world war. In his essay he wrote about how seeing Earth from outside allowed us to "demythologise" our planet.

In contrast to the much-discussed "overview effect" which inspires astronauts with a feeling of almost mystical awe, Tillich argued that the view from space made Earth a "large material body to be looked at and considered as totally calculable".

When spacecraft began imaging the lunar surface in the 1960s, the process of calculation started for the Moon. Now, its minerals are being evaluated as commodities for human use.

http://www.plough.com/-/media/images/plough/authors/a/hannaharendt.jpg?la=en

Like Tillich, Arendt left Germany under the shadow of Nazism in 1933. She's best remembered for her studies of totalitarian states and for coining the term "the banality of evil".

Her essay explored the relationship between science and the human senses.

In the early 20th century, Einstein's theory of special relativity and quantum mechanics showed us a reality far beyond the ability of our senses to comprehend. Arendt said it was absurd to think such a cosmos could be "conquered". Instead, "we have come to our present capacity to 'conquer space' through our new ability to handle nature from a point in the universe outside the earth".

The short human lifespan and the impossibility of moving faster than the speed of light mean humans are unlikely to travel beyond the Solar System. There is a limit to our current expansion into space.

When that limit is reached, said Arendt, "the new world view that may conceivably grow out of it is likely to be once more geocentric and anthropomorphic, although not in the old sense of the earth being the center of the universe and of man being the highest being there is". Humans would turn back to Earth to make meaning of their existence, and cease to dream of the stars.

Big Dipper over Pyramid Mountain by Steve Cullen

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2312/BigDipperMt2_Cullen_1365.jpg

When did you first learn to identify this group of stars? Although they are familiar to many people around the world, different cultures have associated this asterism with different icons and folklore. Known in the USA as the Big Dipper, the stars are part of a constellation designated by the International Astronomical Union in 1922 as the Great Bear (Ursa Major). The recognized star names of these stars are (left to right) Alkaid, Mizar/Alcor, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe. Of course, stars in any given constellation are unlikely to be physically related. But surprisingly, most of the Big Dipper stars do seem to be headed in the same direction as they plough through space, a property they share with other stars spread out over an even larger area across the sky. Their measured common motion suggests that they all belong to a loose, nearby star cluster, thought to be on average only about 75 light-years away and up to 30 light-years across. The cluster is more properly known as the Ursa Major Moving Group. The featured image captured the iconic stars above Pyramid Mountain in Alberta, Canada.

SUNDIVING COMET: By the time you finish reading this, the Solar System will have one less comet. SOHO coronagraphs caught the dirty snowball diving into the Sun on Dec. 11th.

http://www.spaceweather.com/images2023/12dec23/sundiver_crop_opt.gif

The kamikaze comet is a member of the Kreutz sungrazer family. Named after a 19th century German astronomer who studied them in detail, Kreutz sungrazers are fragments from the breakup of a giant comet at least 2000 years ago. Several of these fragments pass by the sun and disintegrate every day. Most are too small to see. This fragment is a big exception.

By now the comet has been vaporized. The next batch of SOHO data will probably show a small cloud of debris and a decapitated tail emerging from behind the sun. R.I.P. comet!

NASA Requests Funding for $1 Billion ‘Space Tug’ to Deorbit the ISS

https://spaceref.com/wp-content/themes/spaceref-1.2/images/logo.svg

NASA is developing a plan to deorbit the International Space Station (ISS) at the end of its lifetime, currently scheduled for 2030. Since the 356-foot-wide laboratory is too big to completely vaporize if left to naturally burn in Earth’s atmosphere, the space agency intends to send a US spacecraft to help deorbit the station and direct its reentry over the unpopulated South Pacific.

Earlier this year, NASA requested ideas from the industry for a new spacecraft design or a modification of an existing vehicle to fit this purpose. The proposals outline design, development, manufacturing, testing, and integration of the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle (USDV) such that it would, in theory, rendezvous and dock with the ISS. The goal is to give the ISS an extra “space tug” to help it move more than it could with its own thrust, and guide the final burns for ISS to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

The ISS is about the size of a 6 bedroom house.

“As with any development effort of this size, the USDV will take years to develop, test, and certify,” NASA said in a September announcement.

The space tug is expected to cost $1 billion, agency officials had said earlier this year. In its budget request for fiscal year 2024, the agency requested $180 million to start developing the technology for the space tug.

Earlier this year, Russia agreed to stay onboard ISS through 2028, rather than its previous timeline of 2024, after which it may focus on building its own station in low-Earth orbit. Other partner countries have agreed to continue their presence through 2030, but it is not clear precisely how they will contribute to retiring the ISS.

Materials researchers have attempted to unlock the potential of carbon nitrides since the 1980s, when scientists first noticed their exceptional properties, including high resistance to heat.

Yet after more than three decades of research and multiple attempts to synthesize them, no credible results were reported.

Now, an international team of scientists—led by researchers from the Center for Science at Extreme Conditions at the University of Edinburgh and experts from the University of Bayreuth, Germany and the University of Linköping, Sweden—have finally achieved a breakthrough.

Researchers found that when carbon and nitrogen precursors were subjected to extreme heat and pressure, the resulting materials—known as carbon nitrides—were tougher than cubic boron nitride, the second hardest material after diamond.

The breakthrough opens doors for multifunctional materials to be used for industrial purposes, including protective coatings for cars and spaceships, high-endurance cutting tools, solar panels and photodetectors, as well as uses presently unimagined.

Geminid Meteor Shower – US Weather Report

Things are looking up for what promises to be the best meteor shower of 2023

For those who are hoping to get a view of the peak of the Geminid meteor shower over the next few nights, it appears that about half of the contiguous (48) states will have clear, starry skies — a perfect backdrop for watching this very best of the year's principal meteor displays.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/qbHu29rtRhH7UgDAUNMVba-970-80.jpg

So far as the "Good" viewing zone is concerned, a large dome of high pressure centered over the Ohio River Valley, should bring fair weather for much of the Midwest, extending east all the way to the Middle Atlantic Coast, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the New York Metropolitan Area and much of Southern New England. Generally clear skies should also prevail over much of the Northern Plains and south through the Rockies from Montana through much of Utah. Clear skies should also be the rule for southern California, southern and eastern Nevada and much of Arizona.

Unfortunately, there will be locations that may very well be shut out of any view of the December fireworks, due to clouds and precipitation. "Poor" viewing conditions are forecast over the Far West. A Pacific disturbance moving inland over northern California will spread a thick blanket of low clouds and spotty areas of light rain and drizzle across the western halves of Washington State and Oregon, as well as portions of northern California.

In addition, a storm system over southern New Mexico will bring widespread cloud cover to much of Texas, northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, western Oklahoma, as well as much of Kansas and Nebraska.

First Ever Photo of a Snow Leopard Under a Starry Sky

http://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/12171844/SEI_183050216.jpg?width=900

It takes a special kind of patience to search for a ghost. It is unlikely you will find one, but doubt means quitting, so you keep looking.

This is the art of tracking snow leopards. Morup Namgail learned it early. He was 5 when he first saw one in his remote home village of Uley in Ladakh, India. The area teems with wildlife – heaven for aspiring photographers like Morup and his brother Stanzin. These large cats, locally referred to as shan, were immortalised in the BBC series Planet Earth II thanks in large part to their father, Norboo, who tracked them for the crew.

Ladakh was just becoming famous for sightings – then the pandemic shut everything down. That is when the brothers vowed to photograph something no one had before: a snow leopard under a starry night sky. They hoped the image would highlight the beauty of this mountainous region and its apex predator, thereby spurring efforts to protect both. This is a place warming at double the global rate, threatening the landscape and its wildlife. If the outside world could only see what was at stake, the brothers believed it would influence the government to act.

They spent months blanketing the area with cameras. But halfway through the project, Stanzin died of a heart condition. Hard as it was, Morup pressed on alone … and succeeded.

Why Tycho's Mysterious Death Still Baffles Experts

The Tycho star was seen from earth in 1572 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1572) in the Cassiopeia constellation some 13,000 light years away. I suspect a giant redheaded humanoid race left that area prior to the event and came here. The clue would be in the Wendy's logo (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=1516418&viewfull=1#post1516418) and I'll call them Novans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8J3DqPeDVQ

On Nov. 6, 1572, the German astronomer Wolfgang Schulër observed a supernova with his bare eyes. He spotted the exploding star in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was as bright as Venus and could even be seen during the day. Astronomers were really confused, because it looked like a star just appeared out of nowhere. Schulër may have been the first to see it, but the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is widely credited for the discovery. Brahe studied it in detail and wrote a whole book about this so-called "new star." It then became known as "Tycho's Star."
At the time, supernovas had not yet been discovered. Tycho's Star was finally classified as a supernova in the 1940s. Scientists now think it was a small star called a white dwarf that exploded thousands of years ago. Because Tycho's Star is 13,000 light-years from Earth, it took a while before anyone could see it.

Space Rock | Sun Ra

Jazz icon Sun Ra (given name: Henry Blount, legal name: Le Son'y Ra) famously told anyone who'd listen that he was from another planet. Interestingly, he never backed down from this claim. When he checked into a hospital near the end of his life he listed his address as "Saturn". When drafted for WWII he was jailed as a conscientious objector, another stance he never backed down from. One of the few jazz artists who wrote lyrics to his songs, his was a lifelong message of love and understanding.

PCO8WQXbloc
Sun Ra claimed to have been abducted by aliens in the mid 1930's while a student at Alabama A&M University.

"My whole body changed into something else. I could see through myself. And I went up ... I wasn't in human form ... I landed on a planet I identified as Saturn ... they teleported me and I was down on a stage with them. They wanted to talk with me. They had one little antenna on each ear. A little antenna over each eye. They talked to me. They told me to stop (attending college) because there was going to be great trouble in schools ... the world was going into complete chaos. I would speak through music and the world will listen. That's what they told me."

Winter Solstice

Early man kept track of the days by observing the Sun as it “moved” across the sky and cast shadows at different times during the day and year. Historians believe Stonehenge in England was erected to keep track of the Sun’s yearly progress and solstices.

http://www.farmersalmanac.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Summer-Solstice-2017-i491580658-950x505.jpg

The Winter Solstice has played an important role in cultures worldwide from ancient times until today. In fact, many of the customs, lore, symbols, and rituals associated with Christmas are actually associated with winter solstice celebrations of ancient Pagan cultures.

Alban Arthan

https://www.farmersalmanac.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Newgrange-Ireland-Winter-Solstice-A148938046-950x505.jpg

Welsh for “Light of Winter,” Alban Arthan is a universal festival, which has been (and still is) celebrated by many people and is probably the oldest seasonal festival of humankind. In Druidic traditions, the Winter Solstice is thought of as a time of death and rebirth when Nature’s powers and our own souls are renewed. It marks the moment in time when the Old Sun dies (at dusk on the 21st of December) and when the Sun of the New Year is born (at dawn on the 22nd of December), framing the longest night of the year. The birth of the New Sun is thought to revive the Earth’s aura in mystical ways, giving a new lease on life to spirits and souls of the dead.

The prehistoric monument, Newgrange built in Ireland around 3200 B.C. (making it older than Stonehenge), is associated with the Alban Arthan festival.

The Feast of Juul

http://www.farmersalmanac.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Winter-Tradition-Yule-Log-Juul-i893025792-950x505.jpeg

This was a festival observed in Scandinavia when fires were lit to symbolize the heat, light and life-giving properties of the returning Sun. A Yule—or Juul—log was brought in and burned on the hearth in honor of the Scandinavian god, Thor. It was Thor’s job to bring the Sun’s warmth back to the people. The log, which was never allowed to burn entirely, was kept as both a token of good luck against misfortune and used as kindling for the following year’s log. In England, Germany, France, and other European countries, the Yule log was burned until nothing but ash remained.

The ashes were then collected and spread into the fields as fertilizer every night until Twelfth Night, or worn around the neck as a charm. French peasants would place the cooled ashes from the log under their beds, believing they would protect the house against thunder and lightning. The present-day custom of lighting a Yule log at Christmas is believed to have originated with these fires associated with the Feast of Juul.

Saturnalia

http://www.farmersalmanac.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Saturnalia-Winter-Solstice-A162412465-950x505.jpg

In Ancient Rome, the Winter Solstice festival referred to as Saturnalia began on December 17 and lasted for seven days. It was held to honor Saturnus, the Roman god of agriculture and harvest, and was characterized by the suspension of discipline and reversal of the usual order. Grudges and quarrels were forgiven, wars were postponed, and people engaged in carnival-like festivities. The popularity of Saturnalia continued into the third and fourth centuries AD, and as the Roman Empire came under Christian rule, some of the festival’s customs have influenced our current celebrations surrounding Christmas and the New Year.

The December solstice marks the sun’s southernmost point in the sky, for the entire globe, for this entire year. On this solstice, the sun will be overhead at noon as viewed from the Tropic of Capricorn. In 2023, the December solstice falls at 3:27 UTC on December 22 (that is 9:27 p.m. in central North America on December 21).

The Ariel School UFO incident, which occurred on September 16, 1994, in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, is considered one of the most significant events in UFO history. Sixty-two students aged between six and twelve reported seeing one or more silver crafts descend from the sky and land on a field near their school. Some children claimed that creatures dressed all in black approached them and telepathically communicated a message with an environmental theme. This event quickly became one of the most famous UFO cases in Africa and, indeed, the world. Ufologists continue to cite the case as providing compelling evidence of extraterrestrial visits to Earth.

Spectacular 'Rainbow Clouds' Light Up Northern Skies In Rare Event

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/G46NZbpSV4e8Y8EwvUyZth-650-80.jpg

Strange "rainbow clouds" that look like a colorful portal to another dimension have recently appeared across northern skies. They're sometimes called "mother of pearl" clouds due to their striking pearlescent appearance.

These nacreous clouds, also known as polar stratospheric clouds, are one of the highest in Earth's atmosphere. Nacreous clouds form over polar regions in our lower stratosphere between 68,500 and 100,000 feet (13 and 19 miles or 20 and 30 kilometers) according to the UK Met Office. Most "regular" clouds exist below 43,000 feet (8 miles or 13 km).

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/b3cmJYootJt2yH99tfVbHY-970-80.jpg

Why so colorful? Because of their high latitude and the curvature of Earth's surface, nacreous clouds are illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it toward the ground. Ice particles that form nacreous clouds are far smaller than those that form more common clouds. As sunlight passes through these tiny particles it diffracts and the colors are separated into different wavelengths creating the stunning 'rainbow' effect in the sky.

'Hidden' Rings of Uranus Revealed: James Webb Telescope

The chilly outer planet Uranus, located roughly 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers) from the Sun, isn't thought of as a "ringed planet", but that's because its rings are far too faint to be seen by most telescopes. In fact, it took until the 1986 flight of the Voyager 2 spacecraft out beyond the edges of our solar system for astronomers to confirm the existence of Uranus' 13 rings.

China Builds World’s Deepest Underground Lab to Study Physics and Dark Matter

Located 2,400 meters under the Earth’s surface, the Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is the world’s deepest underground laboratory.

In December 2020, Tsinghua University and Yalong River Hydropower Development Company, Ltd. began work on a daring project under Jinping Mountain in Sichuan’s Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Designed to facilitate China’s research in relevant frontier fields, such as particle physics, nuclear astrophysics, and life sciences, the DURF reportedly provides the cleanest space on Earth to study the invisible substance known as dark matter, as the extreme depth it is located at (2,400 meters underground) helps block most of the cosmic rays that usually interfere with the observation of dark matter.

A female alien is sent from Mars to acquire human males to replace their declining male population. When negotiation, then intimidation, fails she must use force to obtain co-operation from a remote Scottish village where she has landed her crippled flying saucer.

Described as “delightfully ludicrous”, Devil Girl from Mars is a 1954 British science fiction film, produced by the Danziger Brothers, and starring Patricia Laffan, Hugh McDermott, and Hazel Court. It was released by British Lion, and released in the United States the following year.

The film was made at Shepperton Studios with sets designed by the art director Norman G. Arnold. It was made on a very low budget, with no retakes. The whole movie was shot in three weeks, often filming well into the night. Patricia Laffan, who played the alien Nyeh, was a Shakespearean actress, accomplished in stage, film, television and radio. Cast member Hazel Court later said: "I remember great fun on the set. It was like a repertory company acting that film.”

Picasso Moth: A Living Work of Art

http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/picasso-moth-750x728.jpg

Baorisa hieroglyphica, also known as the Picasso moth, is a species of moth named after the famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso because of its unusually artistic wing patterns.

First described by British entomologist Frederic Moore in 1882, the Picasso moth is native to Southeast Asia and Northern India. Like most moths, is a nocturnal insect that feeds mostly on the nectar of various plants. The species’ scientific name, Baorisa hieroglyphica, refers to the striking geometric lines and shapes on its fore wings, while its common name was inspired by the blotches, strips, and dots of color that hint at the work of the talented painter.

Elephantnose Fish - The Electric Boogie

http://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/6764121F-07FD-4BC2-ABCF1873F7BAA424_source.jpg?w=900

Eyesight alone wouldn’t get the elephantnose very far in the murky rivers of western and central Africa where the nocturnal fish makes its home. So a specialized organ in its tail emits a weak electric field that radiates outward from its body in pulses, and tiny receptors on its skin detect distortions to the field caused by objects or creatures nearby.

These distortions create an “electric image”—a two-dimensional representation of the object being detected like a shadow cast on the fish’s skin. But researchers weren’t sure how the fish used that 2-D map to perceive a 3-D world.

The answer, according to a new study published in Animal Behaviour, is that the elephantnose fish does a little aquatic dance. By wiggling around, it perceives objects from slightly different angles; stacked together, the various electric images it gets are enough for it to distinguish among 3-D objects.

Bright UFO Orb Sighted Maneuvering Away From The Moon – Palm Desert, California

"Now that ... is a UFO."

➨ Original Source: MUFON Case Number 125794

Eyewitness:

"I am a film and TV director and recording artist. When I saw the object on October 9, 2022 over Palm Desert in California, I started filming with an iPhone. I was talking to someone on the phone when I witnessed the event. The object moved away from the moon, ascended, then descended making right and left turns, and seem to go straight towards the moon then quickly turned and moved away from it. I lost it after a couple of minutes due to it disappearing behind some high cloud coverage."

Cuneiform-Inscribed Bricks Unveil Strength of Ancient Geomagnetic Field in Mesopotamia

Reconstructing the behavior of Earth’s magnetic field during archaeological periods is crucial for both achieving a better understanding of the field today and for providing a basis for absolute dating archaeological materials. In new research, University College London’s Professor Mark Altaweel and his colleagues analyzed 32 inscribed baked bricks from Mesopotamia from the 3rd-1st millennia BCE (the reigns of 12 Mesopotamian kings).

https://cdn.sci.news/images/2023/12/image_12543-Mesopotamian-Brick.jpg
This ancient brick from the Slemani Museum dates to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II (ca. 604 to 562 BCE)

“We often depend on dating methods such as radiocarbon dates to get a sense of chronology in ancient Mesopotamia,” said Professor Altaweel, co-author of a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “However, some of the most common cultural remains, such as bricks and ceramics, cannot typically be easily dated because they don’t contain organic material.”

“This work now helps create an important dating baseline that allows others to benefit from absolute dating using archaeomagnetism.”

The magnetic field of the Earth weakens and strengthens over time, changes which imprint a distinct signature on hot minerals that are sensitive to the magnetic field.

The study authors analyzed the latent magnetic signature in grains of iron oxide minerals embedded in 32 clay bricks originating from archaeological sites throughout Mesopotamia, which now overlaps with modern day Iraq.

The strength of the magnetic field was imprinted upon the minerals when they were first fired by the brickmakers thousands of years ago. At the time they were made, each brick was inscribed with the name of the reigning king which archaeologists have dated to a range of likely timespans.

Together, the imprinted name and the measured magnetic strength of the iron oxide grains offered a historical map of the changes to the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Le Booster Historique SpaceX s'est Renversé Sur le Chemin du Retour au Port

http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1m3G2x.img?w=768&h=427&m=6

Le mauvais temps en mer a fait basculer le booster SpaceX Falcon 9, qui avait réussi un record de 19 atterrissages, alors qu'il rentrait en Floride.

SpaceX a annoncé lundi soir que le booster avait effectué son dernier vol.

« Pendant le transport de retour au port tôt ce matin, le booster s'est renversé sur le droneship en raison des vents violents et des vagues. Les nouveaux boosters Falcon ont amélioré les jambes d'atterrissage avec la capacité de s'auto-niveler et d'atténuer ce type de problème », a publié SpaceX sur les réseaux sociaux.

Shakespeare in Space

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2312/STScI-UranusJWSTcrop.png

In 1986, Voyager 2 became the only spacecraft to explore ice giant planet Uranus close up. Still, this newly released image from the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on the James Webb Space Telescope offers a detailed look at the distant world. The tilted outer planet rotates on its axis once in about 17 hours. Its north pole is presently pointed near our line of sight, offering direct views of its northern hemisphere and a faint but extensive system of rings.

Of the giant planet's 27 known moons, 14 are annotated in the image. Mixed with fuzzy background galaxies, the brighter moons show hints of Webb's characteristic diffraction spikes. And though these worlds of the outer Solar System were unknown in Shakespearean times, all but two of the 27 Uranian moons are named for characters in the English bard's plays.

Cathedral, Mountain, Moon by Valerio Minato

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2312/MoonAligned_Minato_960.jpg

Single shots like this require planning. The first step is to realize that such an amazing triple-alignment actually takes place. The second step is to find the best location to photograph it. But it was the third step: being there at exactly the right time -- and when the sky was clear -- that was the hardest. Five times over six years the photographer tried and found bad weather. Finally, just ten days ago, the weather was perfect, and a photographic dream was realized. Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and the Moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.

Early risers on Friday morning, Jan. 5 can see the pretty crescent of the waning moon in the southeastern sky near Virgo's brightest star Spica. The white star, which is 250 light-years from our solar system, will be positioned less than a binoculars' field of view to the moon's upper right. The moon and planets frequently pose near Spica to due to its location just 2 degrees south of the ecliptic. The bright planet Venus will shine to their lower left after it rises.

Privatized Moon Landings: Two US Missions Set to Launch

http://images.theconversation.com/files/566548/original/file-20231219-19-i3ffem.jpeg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=600&h=400&fit=crop&dpr=1
Peregrine Lunar Lander

Two commercial spacecraft are scheduled to launch to the Moon early in 2024 under a NASA initiative called the Commercial Lunar Payload Service CLPS. This program is intended to kickstart a commercial transportation service that can deliver NASA experiments and other payloads to the lunar surface.

If successful, these missions will represent the first landings on the Moon by spacecraft designed and flown by private companies. They could potentially open up a new era of commercial lunar exploration and science.

CLPS was inaugurated by NASA in 2018. An initial pool of nine companies received an invitation to join the program. They included Astrobotic and Intuitive Machines, the two companies behind these missions. Both missions expect to land within a week after lift-off.

The first launch, and the first NASA flight of 2024, is the Peregrine lunar lander, built by Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic. It is scheduled to launch at the earliest on January 8. Broadly speaking, the lander is a box the size of a medium-sized garden shed containing several separate experiments.

The second spacecraft to launch early in 2024 is the Nova-C lander. It is designed by Houston-based Intuitive Machines and has a similar volume to Peregrine, but in the shape of a tall, hexagonal cylinder. It will carry several instruments including its own laser retro-reflector array. Nova-C is currently scheduled to launch in mid-February.

The Art of Étienne Trouvelot

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/TrouvelotMartianCrater.jpg/260px-TrouvelotMartianCrater.jpg

These Depictions of Celestial Wonders Helped Make Astronomy Mainstream

Plate IV, Aurora Borealis: As observed on March 1, 1872, at 9:25 pm, Trouvelot's northern lights are rendered in otherworldly colors

Born in France in 1827, Étienne Trouvelot and his family moved to the United States in the mid-19th century. While still living in France, Trouvelot was an amateur entomologist, and—as a trained nature illustrator—he made detailed drawings of insects. Once he moved to Massachusetts, however, his interest in astronomy flourished.

http://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/1r-O4NYCSs2wP9YPtZSFmPEbr6E=/fit-in/1072x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer_public/bd/23/bd23c69d-f68f-41a4-ab5d-063dae55b73d/23a_fall2023_etienne_trouvelot_art-moonsurface_live.jpg
Plate VI, Mare Humorum: From a study made in 1875, Trouvelot accurately depicts the moon's unusual surface

In a time when we are dazzled by the latest high-resolution images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, we can appreciate the charm of Trouvelot’s space art. His fascination with the night sky is evident in a set of 15 pastel drawings published by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1881–82 as a limited-edition portfolio of chromolithographic prints (a printing process that produces colored images by using multiple plates or stones). The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has a complete set of the Scribner’s prints. The 15 illustrations are the earliest example of planetary and space art in the Museum’s collection.

http://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/bcxIwM03bBUH5hEC0GJ9hzgsLvE=/fit-in/1072x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer_public/26/5d/265d5134-2b89-4a8f-a26b-6215827542f3/23b_fall2023_etienne_trouvelot_art-solareclipse_live.jpg
Plate III, Total Eclipse of the Sun: Observed on July 29, 1878, at Creston, Wyoming Territory

The art of Trouvelot has inspired generations of astronomers and artists. The chromolithographic prints have stood the test of time, with vivid colors still intact after 142 years.

On the Moon and Mars, two craters are named after the artist—a fitting tribute to a man who recognized the beauty of the heavens and shared that recognition through his art.

OSIRIS-APEX Mission is Headed to Asteroid Apophis

http://earthsky.org/upl/2024/01/Asteroid-Apophis.gif
This animation depicts the orbital trajectory of asteroid Apophis, as it passes by Earth on April 13, 2029

OSIRIS-REx’s mission at asteroid Bennu was an incredible success. It safely returned the samples of the asteroid to Earth on September 2023. Afterwards, since the spacecraft was still in excellent condition, with leftover fuel, NASA aimed the craft toward a new object to explore. NASA had considered various comets and even Venus, but ultimately decided on the asteroid Apophis.

Unlike Bennu, which is carbon-rich, Apophis is composed of nickel-iron and silicate materials. Asteroids are generally categorized as C-type, S-type or M-type. Apophis is an S-type asteroid, while Bennu is a C-type. Apophis is small, about 1,100 feet (340 meters) across.

One primary reason that NASA chose Apophis is that it will pass closely to Earth on April 13, 2029. The asteroid is estimated to come within 20,000 miles (32,000 km) of our planet. It will not strike Earth in 2029. In fact, scientists ruled out a strike by asteroid Apophis for at least the next 100 years.

So if Apophis isn’t due to strike us, why should we study it? Apophis is categorized as a Near-Earth Object (NEO). And some NEOs can pose a danger and are referred to as being potentially hazardous. And, as it happens, most potentially hazardous asteroids are also ... S-types.

Six Items Not Allowed in Space

http://images.theconversation.com/files/187431/original/file-20170925-17462-1hyf8lk.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&rect=125%2C0%2C5416%2C3997&q=45&auto=format&w=926&fit=clip

At one time, traveling to space seemed impossible. But now, hundreds of people have left Earth’s atmosphere and drifted in outer space. While there is still much to explore, thanks to researchers and astronauts, some cosmic mysteries have been uncovered.

For example, we know that one of the many differences between Earth and outer space is the amount of gravity. The more we’ve come to learn about space, the more we know about which objects don’t belong in space. Thanks to the low gravity in outer space, these items have been scratched from the eligibility list for space travel, and some may surprise you.

Bread

Crumbs and space are not the greatest mixtures. While bread can be considered a diet staple and a great source of carbohydrates, its crumbly and messy nature makes it unsuitable on the space station. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance, and crumbs can easily fly with little gravity. This, combined with bread’s short shelf life, makes it another item that’s not allowed in space.

Don’t worry, astronauts can still have their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They just have to use tortillas or flatbread, essentially anything that minimizes crumbs.

Ice Cream

http://images.ctfassets.net/cnu0m8re1exe/2x1Z0QKhO4aANXjMEVSuYD/59c3090c0599b017a20eac6e67384cee/Astronaut-with-ice-cream.jpg?fm=jpg&fl=progressive&w=660&h=433&fit=pad

Unfortunately, one of the most popular desserts on Earth is not allowed in space in its traditional form. The messy nature of ice cream makes it somewhat impractical to enjoy while floating in space. Moreover, ice cream has a certain shelf life of about six weeks to stay fresh in the freezer once opened, a requirement that the strict conditions aboard the spacecraft can’t cater to.

Pens and Pencils

In the 1960s, during the rise of space exploration, NASA scientists quickly discovered that it was nearly impossible to utilize ink or ballpoint pens in space. Astronauts would have a difficult time using pens due to the lack of gravity, which prevented the ink from the cartridge from making its way down to the tip and transferring it onto paper.

Pencils, on the other hand, were also forbidden as broken graphite could cause a hazard to the crew, or float and get stuck in crucial electronics. Not to mention, the flammable wood from the pencil posed a danger in and of itself.

Surely, astronauts have a lot to report on while they’re in space. This is why a special space pen called the Fisher Space Pen, an anti-gravity pen created by Paul Fisher, has been launched into space on every NASA spacecraft with crew aboard since 1968. The pen utilizes a nitrogen-pressurized ink cartridge that allows for use even amidst zero gravity.

Carbonated Drinks

If you can’t go without soda, then space is probably not for you. In fact, all carbonated drinks are not allowed in space because their properties change, causing trouble for astronauts. Due to microgravity, the dissolved carbon dioxide in these drinks doesn’t separate and rise to the top like it does on Earth. If consumed in minimal gravity, the carbonation throughout the drink can cause discomfort for astronauts and produce symptoms similar to acid reflux.

The best option for astronauts to prevent dehydration is water. Freeze-dried drink mixes are another option, since they can be added to water.

Salt and Pepper

In space with microgravity, seasonings are a hazard because they can make quite a mess, which is why they’ve been banned from space travel. Seasonings can easily crumble into bits and pieces that can clog air purifiers and filters and potentially damage vital equipment.

This means that popular seasonings like salt and pepper aren’t available in their traditional form. However, small individual packets of liquid salt and pepper can be utilized by astronauts in space.

Chairs

http://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/04/3a/0c043ab265afafb1bac902377df3493d.jpg

Furniture in space is a bit different than it is here on Earth. Common items like chairs serve no purpose when little gravity is present. With minimal gravity, it’s difficult to sit in a chair, let alone have a chair stay stationary without it bolted to the floor.

In fact, the International Space Station, a large spacecraft that serves as a home and science laboratory where astronauts reside, has nowhere to sit down. Since traditional furniture like chairs would essentially just float in space, they’re considered more of a hazard than a convenience.

While traditional chairs may not be found aboard the International Space Station, astronauts must still eat at least three meals a day. So where do they sit while eating these meals?

It turns out that astronauts just try to steady themselves while floating when eating their meals. It does help that their meals have specific restrictions and are pre-packaged or canned, allowing for minimal mess. There are also food trays present that connect to a wall or to the astronaut's lap through fabric fasteners that are designed to keep their food in place.

Roscosmos, NASA Agree to Continue Joint ISS Flights Until 2025

http://www.spxdaily.com/images-hg/soyuz-ms-15-hud-iss-fly-around-hg.jpg

Russian and US space agencies have agreed to keep working together to deliver crews to the International Space Station (ISS) until at least 2025, Russian corporation Roscosmos said Thursday.

The space sector -- including its so-called cross-flights that involve sending crews from different nationalities on one spacecraft -- is a rare area of cooperation remaining between Moscow and Washington since Russia and Ukraine went to war.

"An agreement was reached to continue cross-flights until 2025 inclusive," Roscosmos said in a press release. The decision was taken "to maintain the reliability of the ISS as a whole."

It also aims "to guarantee the presence of at least one representative of Roscosmos on the Russian segment and the presence of at least one representative of NASA on the American segment."

The ISS was launched in 1998 at a time of increased US-Russia cooperation following the Cold War "Space Race."

ISS partners -- the United States, Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan -- are for the moment only committed to operate the orbiting laboratory until 2024, though US officials have stated they want to continue until 2030.

Russia said in April that it planned to use the International Space Station until 2028, a reversal of an earlier announcement to quit the orbiting laboratory after 2024.

'We have doubled the number of nationalities aboard'

All-European SpaceX Ax-3 Astronauts Dock at Space Station

SpaceX's Crew Dragon Freedom arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) early Saturday with four astronauts of the private Ax-3 mission aboard to begin a two-week stay on the orbiting laboratory.

Ax-3 launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Jan. 18, kicking off a roughly 36-hour orbital pursuit. That chase ended Jan. 20 at 5:42 a.m. EST (1042 GMT), when Freedom docked at the forward port on the station's Harmony module, as the two spacecraft sailed 262 miles above the South Pacific. Ax-3 is SpaceX's third private human spaceflight for the company Axiom Space, which has flown nine people to the station since since 2022.

The combined crew of the International Space Station includes seven Expedition 70 astronauts (in red and orange) and the Ax-3 crew (bottom row, from left): Michael Lopez-Alegria of Spain, Walter Villadei of Italy, Alper Gezeravcı of Turkey, and Marcus Wandt of Sweden.

"This is an incredibly exciting time for human spaceflight with the third private mission, which is allowing many more countries to participate in the scientific research and technology development that we do onboard this orbiting laboratory," said Andreas Morgensen, commander of the station's seven-person Expedition 70 crew who represents the European Space Agency. "We have doubled the number of nationalities onboard the space station going from four to eight, which I think is a great testament to the international collaboration which underpins this marvelous space station."

The Sky This Week

Wednesday, Jan. 24: Bright moon and Gemini's twins (all night)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/T3bVRWwTmDPbzBaJL3dKod-970-80.jpg

In the eastern sky on Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, the bright, nearly full moon will be shining several finger widths width below (or 3.5 degrees to the celestial southeast) of the bright star Pollux, Gemini's more easterly twin. The slightly fainter, bright double-star Castor will shine above them.

As the trio crosses the sky during the night, the eastward orbital motion of the moon will carry it farther from Pollux while the diurnal rotation of the sky rotates their alignment to horizontal.

Thursday, Jan. 25: Full Wolf Moon (at 12:54 p.m. EST)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/a9q7yvw8G5ifJCuNyjBy3j-970-80.jpg

The January full moon, which always shines in or near the stars of Gemini or Cancer, will occur at 12:54 p.m. EST, 9:54 a.m. PST, or 17:54 GMT on Thursday, Jan. 25.

In the Americas, the moon will appear to be full on both Wednesday and Thursday night. This one is known as the Wolf Moon, Old Moon, and Moon after Yule. The Indigenous Ojibwe people of the Great Lakes region call it Gichi-manidoo Giizis, the "Great Spirit Moon", a time to honor the silence, and recognize one's place within all of Great Mystery's creatures. (You might recall that name from hearing or singing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha.) The Cree of North America call the January full moon Opawahcikanasis, the "Frost Exploding Moon", when trees crackle from the extreme cold temperatures.

The Black Tom explosion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Tom_explosion) happened on 07/30/1916 just prior to the entry of the USA into WWI. It was triggered by German operatives and is similar to the 9/11 event.

The Black Tom explosion was an act of sabotage by agents of the German Empire, to destroy U.S.-made munitions that were to be supplied to the Allies in World War I. The explosions, which occurred on July 30, 1916, in New York Harbor, killed at least four people and destroyed some $20,000,000 ($540 million in 2024 dollars) worth of military goods.[1][2] This incident, which happened prior to U.S. entry into World War I, also damaged the Statue of Liberty.[3] It was one of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions in history.

Witch Doctor Uses Bees to Arrest Motorcycle Thief

Published 10th January 2024 (5:41)

SfICv5B67no
KOBOKO DISTRICT, UGANDA – In a jaw-dropping incident that left citizens in disbelief, a motorcycle thief was reportedly apprehended by a swarm of bees in Koboko district. Witnesses claim that the bees, believed to have been summoned by a female traditional healer in the region, not only managed to detain the thief but also escorted him to the Central Police Station in Koboko. The unusual arrest unfolded as the alleged thief attempted to make a getaway after stealing a motorcycle.

Eyewitnesses say that the swarm of bees appeared seemingly out of nowhere, surrounding the thief and immobilizing him. The bees, described as unusually large and aggressive, then proceeded to form what those present could only describe as makeshift handcuffs around the suspect.

To the delight of onlookers, the thief was led through the streets of Koboko to the Central Police Station, still “handcuffed” by the bees.
