Northwestern Researchers Invent Power-Generating Fuel Cell That Runs on Dirt


http://thedebrief.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/RESIZE-environmental-protection-3341942_1280-720x480.jpg


A team of researchers from Northwestern University says they have developed a cutting-edge, power-generating fuel cell that runs on dirt by capturing the electricity generated by microbes that live in soil. Previous attempts at microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been stymied by low power outputs and unreliable performance, but the Northwestern system seems to have conquered these issues.

They are also making their design open source so farmers everywhere can take advantage of the breakthrough device.

The inventors of the dirt-powered fuel cell believe it can revolutionize precision farming, while lessening the use of batteries that often contain toxic chemicals and rely on lithium and heavy metals that are a limited resource and can damage crops and soil.

“The number of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) is constantly growing,” said Northwestern alumnus Bill Yen, who led the effort to create a viable MFC. “If we imagine a future with trillions of these devices, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium, heavy metals, and toxins that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a decentralized network of devices.”

“Although the entire device is buried, the vertical design ensures that the top end is flush with the ground’s surface. A 3D-printed cap rests on top of the device to prevent debris from falling inside. And a hole on top and an empty air chamber running alongside the cathode enable consistent airflow.”

The Northwestern team says that all of the materials and components in their MFC are readily available at a local hardware store. This includes the carbon felt used in the cathode that captures the electrons generated by the microbes.

The team also says they are making the designs, tutorials, and simulation tools available to everyone in hopes that farmers can build their own fuel cell that runs on dirt and inventors can work to improve them. That information can be found in their published work, which appears in the January 12th edition of Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive Mobile Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3631410).

Georgeta, a 35-year-old truck driver hailing from Romania, has earned the moniker “Romanian Barbie” due to her penchant for the color pink, which dominates both the exterior and interior of her truck.

While female truck drivers are not a common sight, Georgeta stands out with her vibrant pink outfits, matching truck, and lively personality. The smooth-driving “Barbie” gained widespread attention in her home country when images of her and her pink-themed trucks went viral on social media.

With a career spanning 12 years, mostly in Spain, she recently returned home, acquired her own truck, and ventured into independent work. Spending a significant amount of time in her truck, Georgeta dedicated considerable effort to transforming it into a comfortable space that mirrors her peculiar passions.

Originally from Craciunelu, in Romania’s Alba county, Georgeta navigates the country’s roads during her daily drives. To combat the solitude of long hours on the road, she adopted two pet cats – Norocel and Pisy – who have become the stars of her TikTok channel, where she shares daily clips. Norocel’s rescue story adds a heartwarming touch to her journey, as he nearly died in front of her truck.

Georgeta pursued a management degree in college, supported herself through various retail jobs, and even explored hairstyling and makeup before discovering her true passion at truck driving school. Despite attempting alternative career paths while in Spain, her love for truck driving always drew her back.

Male Cockatoos Keep the Beat | Science News

When a male palm cockatoo serenades a potential mate, it isn’t just about music. He also showcases his own personal style. With a lifespan of 60-90 years, he has time to practice, practice, practice.

In the wild, these birds (Probosciger aterrimus) devise custom instruments for musical mating rituals, a new study reveals. And, it turns out, each bird shows its own flair. Some males used drumsticks. Others combined a mix of drumsticks and instruments made from seed pods. Such stylistic choices have more to do with personal preference than with available materials, biologists found.

Males of this species perform a percussive mating display from a tree in their territory. Typically, he will drum with a stick or seed pod that’s gripped in his left foot. He crafts the instrument himself as a female watches. To make a drumstick, he snaps off a tree branch and whittles it into shape. Then he sings and twirls while drumming a rhythm on the tree.

“Those tapping displays actually have all the hallmarks of human music using instruments,” says Rob Heinsohn, a conservation biologist who works at the Australian National University in Canberra. “The males all have their own drumming signatures. Some like to do it really slowly. Some go very quickly. And then others throw in little flourishes.”

“Each one has developed his own idea as to what makes a special drumstick. There are many different ways of getting it right — of being a good artist. And that’s true both in their musical performance, but also in the crafting of these tools. I think being really individual and being creative and being out there on your own is part of what the females are looking for.”

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Breakthrough

On December 12, 2023, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) successfully laser-pinged the agency-provided small retroreflector sitting on top of ISRO’s Chandrayaan 3 lander. This first-of-a-kind demonstration is a stepping stone towards a future where Mooncraft with purpose-built lasers can locate such targets and land near them as they arrive.

For example, this technique will be relevant for repeated cargo deliveries near future habitats. While LRO’s laser altimeter wasn’t built for this purpose, it’s nevertheless playing a pathfinding role to said end, which NASA will continue refining with the retroreflector the agency also has aboard SLIM.

Matter/Antimatter

How Ghostly Neutrinos Could Explain the Universe’s Matter Mystery


http://i0.wp.com/www.sciencenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/091422_Neuntrios_Earth_feat.gif?fit=660%2C372&ssl=1


The answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the universe may come down to one of the smallest, and spookiest, particles.

Matter is common in the cosmos. Everything around us — from planets to stars to puppies —  is made up of matter. But matter has a flip side: antimatter. Protons, electrons and other particles all have antimatter counterparts: antiprotons, positrons, etc. Yet for some reason antimatter is much rarer than matter — and no one knows why.

Physicists believe the universe was born with equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Since matter and antimatter counterparts annihilate on contact, that suggests the universe should have ended up with nothing but energy. Something must have tipped the balance.

Some physicists think lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos could point to an answer. These particles are exceedingly tiny, with less than a millionth the mass of an electron. They’re produced in radioactive decays and in the sun and other cosmic environments. Known for their ethereal tendency to evade detection, neutrinos have earned the nickname “ghost particles.”  These spooky particles, originally thought to have no mass at all, have a healthy track record of producing scientific surprises.

Now researchers are building enormous detectors to find out if neutrinos could help solve the mystery of the universe’s matter. The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in Hida City, Japan, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in Lead, S.D., will study neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos. A difference in neutrinos’ and antineutrinos’ behavior might hint at the origins of the matter-antimatter imbalance.

Neutrinos & the Mystery of the Universe's Matter | Science News

Why does the universe contain so much more matter than antimatter? Ghostly subatomic particles called neutrinos may provide clues. Physicists are building giant experiments to test that hunch.

Gustav Holst – The Planets

Most of Earth’s planetary neighbors have been known for thousands of years, but for much of that time, they were not much more than wandering points of light that moved predictably through the sky. When Holst composed his “Planets” suite (1914-1916), the best telescopes of the time were only just beginning to reveal the true nature of the planets. Holst drew his inspiration from Roman myth, but was interested in the scientific developments of the day. In some cases, the mythology shares some common ground with what we know today about the planets.

The Sky Tonight

On the mornings of February 2 and 3, 2024, the waning crescent moon will float by a star with a name most Americans won't even try to pronounce: Zubenelgenubi. Zubenelgenubi means “Southern Claw” in Arabic. It is part of the constellation Libra, the Scales.


http://earthsky.org/upl/2024/01/2024-February-2-3-Moon-A-1.jpeg


On the mornings of February 4 and 5, 2024, the waning crescent moon will be near the Crown of Scorpius and lie close to the bright star Antares in Scorpius the Scorpion. In fact, at 1 UTC on February 5, 2024, skywatchers in parts of the Middle East, Kazakhstan, China, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, Melanesia, Japan and Micronesia will see the moon pass in front of – or occult – Antares.


http://earthsky.org/upl/2024/01/2024-February-4-5-Moon-A.jpeg


On the mornings of February 6 and 7, 2024, the thin waning crescent moon will float near and in front of the Teapot of Sagittarius the Archer. Also, bright Venus will shine brightly nearby with a much dimmer Mars peeking through the morning twilight. Can you see a delicate glow on the unlit portion of the crescent moon? That would be earthshine, reflected light from the Earth.

WILL MEGACONSTELLATIONS DAMAGE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD?

Something unprecedented is happening in Earth orbit.

In only a few short years, the satellite population has skyrocketed, more than doubling since 2020. In the past year alone, more satellites have been launched than during the first thirty years of the Space Age. Much of this activity is driven by SpaceX and its growing megaconstellation of Starlink internet satellites.


http://spaceweather.com/images2024/01feb24/swarm.jpg
https://spaceweather.com/

Environmentalists have raised many concerns about Starlink including light-pollution of the night sky, a potentially hazardous traffic jam in low-Earth orbit, and even ozone depletion. Copycat megaconstellations by other companies and countries will only multiply these concerns.

Now there's a new reason to worry. According to a new study by Sierra Solter, megaconstellations could alter and weaken Earth's magnetic field.

Solter is a graduate student at the University of Iceland, working on her PhD in plasma physics. She recently realized something overlooked by many senior colleagues: "More than 500,000 satellites are expected in decades ahead, primarily to build internet megaconstellations. Every satellite that goes up will eventually come down, disintegrating in Earth's atmosphere. This will create a massive layer of conducting, electrically charged particles around our planet."

There is already evidence of this process in action.

To understand the scale of the problem, consider the following: If you gathered up every charged particle in Earth's Van Allen Belts, their combined mass would be only 0.00018 kg. Other components of the magnetosphere such as the ring current and plasmasphere are even less massive. For comparison, "the mass of a second generation Starlink satellite is 1250 kilograms, all of which will become conductive debris when the satellite is eventually de-orbited," says Solter.

Metal debris from a single deorbited Starlink satellite is 7 million times more massive than the Van Allen Belts. An entire megaconstellation is billions of times more massive. These ratios point to a big problem.

"The space industry is adding enormous amounts of material to the magnetosphere in comparison to natural levels of particulate matter," says Solter. "Due to the conductive nature of the satellite debris, this may perturb or change things."


http://spaceweather.com/images2024/01feb24/figure1.jpg


"It's a textbook undergraduate physics problem," she says. "Suppose you put a conductive shell (satellite debris) around a spherical magnet (Earth). Outside the shell, the magnetic field goes to zero due to shielding effects. This is a highly simplified comparison, of course, but we might actually be doing this to our planet."  

Solter's preliminary study appears to show that the space industry is indeed perturbing the environment.  "It is very concerning," she concludes. "We absolutely cannot dump endless amounts of conductive dust into the magnetosphere and not expect some kind of impact. Multidisciplinary studies of this pollution are urgently needed."

Postojna Cave in Slovenia is estimated to be two million (https://travelthruhistory.com/postojna-cave-deep-secret-of-slovenia/) years old and is 24 km long. There's gaffiti in the cave dating back to 1213.

wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postojna_Cave)

The cave was first described in the 17th century by the pioneer of study of karst phenomena, Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, although graffiti inside dated to 1213 indicates a much longer history of use.[5][6] In 1818, when the cave was being prepared for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of the Austria-Hungary, a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally by Luka Čeč, a local man in charge of lighting lamps in the cave. In the 1850s, the Austrian-Czech geographer Adolf Schmidl published the first comprehensive scientific overview of the Postojna caves and the Pivka Basin, which became a standard reference point in the study of speleology.[7]

Wednesday, Feb. 14: Waxing moon dates Jupiter (evening) 


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Md7CNzqQpxFuvXGQs4B2sP-970-80.jpg


On Wednesday, Feb. 14, the waxing crescent moon will go on a Valentine's date with the bright planet Jupiter. The couple will rise in the late morning, cross the sky all day long, and then set in the west around midnight.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Carracci_-_Jupiter_et_Junon.jpeg


The moon's eastward motion of about one lunar diameter per hour will carry it steadily closer to Jupiter. They'll make a pretty sight for unaided eyes and cameras as the sky is darkening.

In the western sky after dusk on Thursday, Feb. 15, the blue-green, magnitude 5.8 speck of Uranus will be positioned only a few finger-widths to the lower left (or 3 degrees to the celestial south) of the nearly half-illuminated moon — easily close enough for them to share the view in binoculars (orange circle). Bright Jupiter will gleam below them.

Dracula's Sandwich - A New Kind of Star

Space, it seems, is teeming not with stars and galaxies, but with delicious cosmic snacks

http://www.sciencealert.com/images/2024/02/draculas-chivito.jpg
Left: Dracula's Chivito. Right: A star formation model that replicated the observations.

A new object in the Milky Way discovered by a team of astronomers led by Ciprian Berghea of the US Naval Observatory has been given the nickname Dracula's Chivito, after the meat-laden sandwich that is the national dish of Uruguay.

In reality, Dracula's Chivito is a baby star surrounded by a thick disk of dust and gas; viewed edge-on, the arrangement sort of looks like a sandwich, if you squint.

That's not the only reason for the object's odd name. A similar-shaped object spotted in the Milky Way back in 1985 was called Gomez's Hamburger, later identified in 2008 as a baby star some 900 light-years away.

https://www.sciencealert.com/images/2024/02/gomez-hamburger1.jpg
Gomez's Hamburger.

Dracula's Chivito is remarkably similar to Gomez's Hamburger. It's a similar distance away, some 980 light-years or so. And it's similarly oriented, so that the disk of dust and gas cuts through the light of the star like the filling in a sandwich, giving us a very different view of the star formation process compared to those we usually see.

And while the two objects are rare, they could represent a class of newborn stars that we know very little about. That's because neither Dracula's Chivito nor Gomez's Hamburger appear in the typical environment for baby stars known as stellar nurseries, which are rich in materials from which new stars are forged. Rather, both stars seem to be floating in relatively empty space, with few clues as to how they came to be born.

UFO Map Shows Extraterrestrial Reporting Hotspots in the United States

The map shows the locations of UFO sightings from 2000 to 2023


http://i2-prod.irishstar.com/incoming/article32134066.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/0_UFO-MapJPG.jpg


This informative map shows the areas of the United States with the most reports of UFO sightings. The data was compiled by the National UFO Reporting Center(NUFORC), based on sightings that were officially registered between 2000 and 2023.

The nonprofit organization collates and investigates reports of supposed extraterrestrial and unidentified flying object sightings. Their detailed map shows the number of UFO sightings per 100,000 in each US county over 23 years.

The map data says that the biggest UFO hotspot in the United States is Lincoln County, Nevada. This is the area where the infamous Area 51, a military base that has long been rumored by conspiracy theorists to host extraterrestrials and alien technology, is located.


http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1ikxup.img?w=800&h=435&q=60&m=2&f=jpg


According to the NUFORC database, Lincoln County saw 820.9 UFO sightings per 100,000 residents, which is the highest in the United States. Next up were Arthur County, Nebraska, with 618.6 reports per 100,000 residents, and Alpine County in California with 594.1 sightings per 100,000 residents. Petroleum County in Montana and La Paz County in Arizona both reported nearly 500-600 sightings between 2003 and 2023.

Studying the map shows certain trends. UFO sightings are more prevalent along the western coastline and southern regions of the United States. There is a theory that some of these locations see more UFO reports because there is less light pollution and therefore clearer skies; making it easier to spot potential extraterrestrial craft.

The populations and demographic makeup of certain areas are also thought to have a bearing on UFO sightings. Reports of unidentified flying objects appear to be more prevalent in rural areas where people may have more time to gaze at clear skies.

UFO reports have increased in recent years. 2022 was the peak year for recorded reports with 9,973 reports. This could be attributable to advanced technology, such as smartphones with powerful cameras, being more readily available.

Can the Moon and a mountain really cast similar shadows? Yes, but the division between light and dark does not have to be aligned. Pictured, a quarter moon was captured above the mountain Grivola in Italy in early October of 2022. The Sun is to the right of the featured picturesque landscape, illuminating the right side of the Moon in a similar way that it illuminates the right side of the mountain. This lunar phase is called "quarter", in part, because the lit fraction visible from Earth is one quarter of the entire lunar surface.

THE DANGER OF SUNSPOTS THAT DON'T FACE EARTH

Big sunspot AR3576 is about to disappear over the sun's western limb, which makes it uniquely dangerous. This farewell shot is from astronomer Philippe Tosi.


http://www.spaceweather.com/images2024/15feb24/departure_strip.jpg


Sunspots located near the sun's western limb are magnetically connected to Earth. The sun's magnetic field spirals around like a lawn sprinker--a shape known as the "Parker spiral”. Lines of magnetic force coming out of the western limb curve around and touch our planet.


http://spaceweather.com/repeat_images/parkerspiral2.png
http://spaceweather.com

AR3576 is now in the "danger zone." If there is an eruption today, or in the next couple of days, debris may be funneled back to Earth by the Parker spiral. The resulting radiation storm could pepper satellites with high-energy protons, fogging cameras and causing reboots of onboard electronics. At such times, shortwave radio propagation can become difficult to impossible especially around the poles.

Thursday, Feb. 22: Venus Kisses Mars (before sunrise)

One of 2024's closest planetary conjunctions will occur on the mornings surrounding Thursday, Feb. 22. The brilliant planet Venus' return sunward will carry it very closely on the upper left (or only 0.6 degrees to the celestial north) of far fainter Mars. 

They'll be close enough together to share the view in a backyard telescope (orange circle) from Monday to Saturday, with Venus approaching Mars from the upper right.


Saturday, Feb. 24: Mini Full Snow Moon (at 12:30 GMT) 

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

The February full moon will occur on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 a.m. EST, 4:30 a.m. PST, or 12:30 GMT. In the Americas, the moon will appear almost full on both Friday and Saturday evenings. 

The indigenous Anishnaabe (Ojibwe and Chippewa) people of the Great Lakes region call the Feb. full moon Namebini-giizis "Sucker Fish Moon" or Mikwa-giizis, the "Bear Moon". For them, it signifies a time to discover how to see beyond reality and to communicate through energy rather than sound. The Algonquin call it Wapicuummilcum, the "Ice in River is Gone" moon. The Cree of North America call it Kisipisim, the "the Great Moon", a time when the animals remain hidden away and traps are empty. For Europeans, it is known as the Snow Moon or Hunger Moon. 

Because this full moon will occur only 26.5 hours before the moon's apogee, its greatest distance from Earth this month, it will look about 7% smaller than average (red circle) — making it the opposite of a supermoon and the smallest full moon of 2024.

AM1054: Stars Form as Galaxies Collide by Jayanne English, M. Rodruck, et al.


http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2402/AM1054_Hubble_960.jpg
https://apod.nasa.gov/

When galaxies collide, how many stars are born? For AM1054-325, featured here in a recently released image by the Hubble Space Telescope, the answer is millions. Instead of stars being destroyed as galaxy AM1054-325 and a nearby galaxy circle each other, their gravity and motion has ignited stellar creation.

Star formation occurs rapidly in the gaseous debris stretching from AM1054-325’s yellowish body due to the other galaxy’s gravitational pull. Hydrogen gas surrounding newborn stars glows pink. Bright infant stars shine blue and cluster together in compact nurseries of thousands to millions of stars. AM1054-325 possesses over 100 of these intense-blue, dot-like star clusters, some appearing like a string of pearls. Analyzing ultraviolet light helped determine that most of these stars are less than 10 million years old: stellar babies. Many of these nurseries may grow up to be globular star clusters, while the bundle of young stars at the bottom tip may even detach and form a small galaxy.

NASA is Hiring

Martians Wanted: Apply Now for NASA's Simulated Yearlong Mars Mission


http://images-prod.dazeddigital.com/982/azure/dazed-prod/1340/3/1343926.jpg


NASA is seeking applicants to participate in its next simulated one-year Mars surface mission to help inform the agency's plans for human exploration of the Red Planet. The second of three planned ground-based missions called CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) is scheduled to kick off in spring 2025.

Each CHAPEA mission involves a four-person volunteer crew living and working inside a 1,700-square-foot, 3D-printed habitat based at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The habitat, called the Mars Dune Alpha, simulates the challenges of a mission on Mars, including resource limitations, equipment failures, communication delays, and other environmental stressors. Crew tasks include simulated spacewalks, robotic operations, habitat maintenance, exercise, and crop growth.

NASA is looking for healthy, motivated U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are non-smokers, 30-55 years old, and proficient in English for effective communication between crewmates and mission control. Applicants should have a strong desire for unique, rewarding adventures and an interest in contributing to NASA's work to prepare for the first human journey to Mars.

Crew selection will follow additional standard NASA criteria for astronaut candidate applicants. A master's degree in a STEM field such as engineering, mathematics, or biological, physical, or computer science from an accredited institution with at least two years of professional STEM experience or a minimum of one thousand hours piloting an aircraft is required.

Candidates who have completed two years of work toward a doctoral program in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, completed a medical degree, or a test pilot program will also be considered. With four years of professional experience, applicants who have completed military officer training or a bachelor of science degree in a STEM field may be considered.

The deadline for applicants is Tuesday, April 2. Compensation for participating in the mission is available.

Bothell House Haunting

The Bothell House is the site of an alleged haunting in Bothell, Washington. Between 2012 and 2016, Keith Linder and his girlfriend at the time experienced a wide range of anomalous activity in the house that became increasingly frequent and extremely hostile. The house has now been thoroughly researched by a variety of investigators, who have together documented hundreds of sounds, light anomalies, voice recordings, and other, far more sinister, phenomena. The case stands out for the sheer quantity of occurrences, and for the lines it blurs between different types of hauntings, poltergeists, and even apparitions.

'Mathematically Perfect' Star System Fascinates Astronomers

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fdQkR2SvYLYXGe9D4hPSRH-650-80.jpg

Sacred Geometry

Late last year, astronomers discovered a fascinating star system only 100 light-years away from us. Its six sub-Neptune planets circle very close to their host star in mathematically perfect orbits, piquing the interest of scientists searching for alien technology, or technosignatures, which they argue would offer compelling evidence of advanced life beyond Earth.

To be clear, no such evidence was found in the system, dubbed HD 110067. However, the researchers say they're not done looking yet. HD 11067 remains an interesting target for similar observations in the future.

"HD 110067 is viewed edge on from Earth, so we are seeing the six planets in the plane of their system — a view that gives us an excellent chance of picking up such a signal if there exists one," study co-author Steve Croft, a radio astronomer working with the life-searching Breakthrough Listen program at the University of California, Berkeley, said.

"Our technology in our own solar system has spread outside the habitable zone," he continued. "So a technology-friendly civilization in HD 110067, if any, may have communication relays set up on multiple planets in the system. Even if it is a negative result, that still tells us something."

UFO over North Carolina January 25th 2019


Eyewitness:

Yesterday while walking around outside looking for birds to film and photograph I noticed a strange flashing light in the sky near an airplane. It was moving slowly in the sky, a little slower than the planes flying around. I could see the random flashing coming from the object for about 10 seconds. I tried to film it with my camera. Using my GH5 and Leica 100-400mm lens I was able to grab a few frames of the object. I did not think I captured it at all because the focus would only hunt and not lock on.

When I got inside and checked the footage I was blown away by what I saw. I have no idea what this object is. It is pill shaped with bullet headed ends. This is in rural North Carolina just outside of Greensboro.

The Sky This Week

■ The last-quarter Moon rises around 1 or 2 a.m. until 10:23 a.m. EST Sunday morning (March 2-3). The rising Moon shines very close to Antares, especially as seen from the East Coast. The Moon occults Antares soon after rising as seen from much of the American South and Midwest.

Want Fewer Microplastics in Your Tap Water? Try This Simple Tip


http://scitechdaily.com/images/Boiled-Tap-Water-Microplastics-Graphic-777x949.jpg

Scitech Daily

Nano- and microplastics are seemingly everywhere — water, soil, and the air. While many creative strategies have been attempted to get rid of these plastic bits, one unexpectedly effective solution for cleaning up drinking water, specifically, might be as simple as brewing a cup of tea.

Some advanced drinking water filtration systems capture NMPs, but simple, inexpensive methods are needed to substantially help reduce human plastic consumption. So, Zhanjun Li, Eddy Zeng, and colleagues wanted to see whether boiling could be an effective method to help remove NMPs from both hard and soft tap water.

Published 1st March 2024 by American Chemical Society – Scitech Daily
https://scitechdaily.com/want-fewer-microplastics-in-your-tap-water-try-this-simple-tip/

As reported in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water can help remove nearly 90% of the nano- and microplastics present.

The Heart Shaped Antennae Galaxies by Kent E. Biggs


http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2402/Antennae_Biggs_960.jpg


Are these two galaxies really attracted to each other? Yes, gravitationally, and the result appears as an enormous iconic heart -- at least for now. Pictured is the pair of galaxies cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, known as the Antennae Galaxies. Because they are only 60 million light years away, close by intergalactic standards, the pair is one of the best studied interacting galaxies on the night sky. Their strong attraction ♥ began about a billion years ago when they passed unusually close to each other. As the two galaxies interact, their stars rarely collide, but new stars are formed when their interstellar gases crash together. Some new stars have already formed, for example, in the long antennae seen extending out from the sides of the dancing duo. By the time the galaxy merger is complete, likely over a billion years from now, billions of new stars may have formed.

For jurisdictions that adopt Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks should be set forward by one hour at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 10. For stargazers, the time change, and the fact that sunsets occur 1 minute later each day near the March equinox, will mean that dark-sky observing cannot commence until much later in the evening — possibly after the bedtime of junior astronomers. 

The difference between local time to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the astronomers' Universal Time (UT) decreases by one hour when DST is in effect. Daylight Saving Time will end on November 3, 2024.

At 5:00 a.m. EDT, 2:00 a.m. PDT or 09:00 GMT on Sunday, March 10, the moon will officially reach its new moon phase. At that time it will be located in eastern Aquarius, approximately 3 degrees south of the sun. 

While new, the moon is traversing the space between Earth and the sun. Since sunlight can only shine on the far side of a new moon, and the moon is in the same region of the sky as the sun, our natural satellite becomes completely hidden from view for about a day — unless a solar eclipse occurs! This new moon will occur only two hours after perigee, producing extra large tides worldwide.

Space: The Longest Goodbye | Official Trailer

It can get lonely in outer space.

Hollywood has examined how intrepid space travelers cope with universal feelings of loneliness, alienation and isolation for decades, most recently in Netflix's "Spaceman," Apple TV+’s "Constellation," and even back in "The Twilight Zone's" very first episode in 1959 titled "Where is Everybody?"

Director Ido Mizrahy's enlightening examination of these physical and particularly mental health risks follows Dr. Al Holland, a certified NASA psychologist who is dedicated to maintaining astronauts' cool and calm demeanor during a round-trip Mars mission in the future. 

"Space: The Longest Goodbye" spotlights rookie astronauts Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer, Dr. Jack Stuster, Dr. Alexandra Whitmire, ex-astronaut Cady Coleman, Sukjin Han, Jackie Morie and others as they discuss common symptoms of stress, anxiety, and claustrophobia that manifest themselves in outer space.

Security Cam Captures Florida Bear Breaking Into Car

A Florida resident's security camera recorded the moment a bear casually strolled up to her car, stood up on its hind legs and used the door handle to get inside.

The camera captured the bear, much like a person would do, opening the back door late Tuesday night and rooting around inside for some forgotten snacks. The Longwood resident said the only real damage to the car was from the bear's muddy footprints -- and from the rain.

"I'm glad he didn't destroy the inside of the car, but I would've appreciated him at least closing the door before he left in the rain," the homeowner said.

Last Sunday, March 3rd, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field. The surprisingly strong impact sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm with bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Upon closer inspection, however, not all of those lights were auroras. Some were "SAR arcs".

During the storm, Märt Varatu photographed this red 'bow over Kiia küla, Estonia. "It was a strong SAR arc," he says.


http://spaceweathergallery2.com/submissions/pics/m/Mart-Varatu-DSC00071-Pano-Edit_1709502871_lg.jpg


SARs were discovered in 1956 at the beginning of the Space Age. Researchers didn’t know what they were and unwittingly gave them a misleading name: "Stable Auroral Red arcs" or SARs. In fact, they are not auroras.

Auroras appear when charged particles rain down from space, hitting the atmosphere and causing it to glow like the picture tube of an old color TV. SARs form differently. They are a sign of heat energy leaking into the upper atmosphere from Earth’s ring current system, a donut-shaped circuit carrying millions of amps around our planet. During the geomagnetic storm of March 3rd, this ring current sprang a significant leak.

The same red arcs were widely observed from Latvia to eastern Russia. Vladimir Nerush photographed this fragment just east of Moscow.

"It emerged from the trees and passed right by the Pleiades," says Nerush. "The red color was so pure."

It's rumored the Germanic people's DNA was altered in ancient history because IMO they were being prepped for use by the reptilians/Draco in future space operations. I'm sure the groups and races that create super soldiers use similar drugs for temporary enhancement during battles. The US military had the same behavior pattern during the Vietnam conflict. It appears the Nazis and DOD where intentionally installing a future drug empire that would partially fund ship construction for off-world use. The video said Hitler was a vegetarian and didn't drink alcohol, but he was a drug addict. I heard they actually killed him on three separate occasions and the Nazis (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?118606-James-Rink-Book-s--Videos&p=1540290&viewfull=1#post1540290) ended up winning the war. We only won temporarily because he was insane. Elvis (https://www.quora.com/When-did-Elvis-start-abusing-drugs-and-how-did-he-become-addicted) developed a drug problem while in the military that ended up killing him. One story states his family had an alien visitation when he was a kid and he had a twin that supposedly died. They must have found it perplexing why we viewed him as The King.

US Government Wanted to Reverse-Engineer Crashed UFOs — But Never Found Any

- Pentagon UFO Report

The U.S. government is not hiding aliens or their spaceships — although it did once propose a program to reverse-engineer any hypothetical alien technology it found, a Department of Defense (DOD) report reveals.

The Pentagon report, a highly anticipated review of classified documents from 1945 to 2023 that was submitted to Congress Friday (March 8), found no evidence that the U.S. government has encountered aliens or covered up their existence.


http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/80/590x/ufo-1032196.jpg?r=1539690154287


Instead, the report blames UFO sightings in the 1960s on top-secret flights of prototype American spy planes and spacecraft. And while the U.S. government did consider a program to reverse-engineer any captured alien ships in the 2010s, no craft were ever found and the proposal was rejected for "lacking merit," according to the report.

There is "no verifiable evidence for claims that the U.S. government and private companies have access to or have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology," Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said in a statement after the report's release. The report also found "no evidence that any U.S. government investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology."

"All investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification," he added.

The 63-page review was made by the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which was established in 2022 to investigate and manage reports of UFO sightings from the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. The review included classified and unclassified archical evidence, full access to all secretive government programs related to UFOs, and 30 interviews with intelligence personnel.

NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart and attorney Daniel Sheehan question whether the Pentagon’s newly released report on UAPs reflects the truth, saying it is part of a “cover-up” that unconstitutionally misleads the public and denies the existence of a covert retrieval program alleged by whistleblower David Grusch.

Navigating Cognitive Decline

Curved Walking and Depth Cameras Unveil Early Signs


http://scitechdaily.com/images/Walking-Path-Wireframe-Art-777x518.jpg


A first-of-its-kind study suggests that to detect subtle gait impairments in older adults that often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline, “throw them a curve.”

Gait analysis, examining the way an individual stands and walks, is emerging as a valuable, non-invasive complement to cognitive assessments that aid in early diagnosis and management. In clinical settings, gait and balance tests typically focus on a straight walking path.

This new study ventures into a different realm – curved path walking – a more natural yet complex activity. Straight walking is a rhythmic and simpler activity, whereas walking on a curving path requires greater cognitive and motor skills such as a transition time to change directions and correct balance.

College of Engineering and Computer Science researchers at Florida Atlantic University are the first to quantitatively compare the performance of healthy older adults versus older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in straight and curve walking. MCI is the early stage of cognitive decline and people with MCI have a much higher risk of transitioning to Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

For the study, researchers used a depth camera, which can detect and track 25 joints of body movement, to record study participants’ gait while performing the two different walking tests (straight versus curve). Signals from the 25 body joints were processed to extract 50 gait markers for each test, and these markers were compared between the two groups using descriptive statistical analyses.

Results, published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports, showed curve walking resulted in greater challenges for the MCI group and outperformed straight walking in detecting MCI. Furthermore, several gait markers showed significant differences between healthy controls and MCI patients.

In 1992 Pepsi put on a contest in the Philippines with winning numbers under the cap. The problem was there was a proclaimed computer error that printed the winning number 349 on 800,000 caps or 600,000 according to the video. The courts sided with the company and the error would have cost Pepsi billions. I wouldn't doubt if the whole thing was sabotage perpetrated by Coca-Cola.

Pepsi ran a contest in the Philippines called 'Number Fever'. It ended up killing five people, including a five-year-old girl fatally wounded by a hurled grenade
The idea behind it was simple - numbers would be printed on the soft drinks' bottle caps, and each evening, local news would announce winning numbers
Pepsi promised locals they could 'become a millionaire' by buying a bottle with a winning number - a vow they reneged on when a malfunction mixed numbers up

A Total Eclipse at the End of the World by Fred Bruenjes


http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2403/AntarcticEclipse_bruenjes_960.jpg


Would you go to the end of the world to see a total eclipse of the Sun? If you did, would you be surprised to find someone else there already? In 2003, the Sun, the Moon, Antarctica, and two photographers all lined up in Antarctica during an unusual total solar eclipse. Even given the extreme location, a group of enthusiastic eclipse chasers ventured near the bottom of the world to experience the surreal momentary disappearance of the Sun behind the Moon.

One of the treasures collected was the featured picture -- a composite of four separate images digitally combined to realistically simulate how the adaptive human eye saw the eclipse. As the image was taken, both the Moon and the Sun peeked together over an Antarctic ridge. In the sudden darkness, the magnificent corona of the Sun became visible around the Moon. Quite by accident, another photographer was caught in one of the images checking his video camera. Visible to his left are an equipment bag and a collapsible chair.

A more easily visible solar eclipse will soon occur and be visible from a long, thin swath of North America.

Astronomers Call For Radio Silence on the Far Side of the Moon

"We are at risk of a Wild West scenario."


https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Nh266x75mZ9NCgpnreMmme-650-80.jpg
The dark side of the Moon

There's a growing and passionate call for preserving radio silence on the far side of the Moon.

A first-of-its-kind international symposium is being held this week, turning up the volume to mull over the prospect of protecting real estate on the Moon's far side exclusively for dedicated scientific purposes. Despite the Moon being surrounding by a vacuum, there's an air of urgency to the meeting. 

Held under the auspices of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), the first IAA Moon Farside Protection Symposium is taking place March 21-22 in Turin, Italy. The goal of the gathering is to set off a wake-up call that engages the global scientific, political, and industrial community to be aware of a growing list of concerns.

Earth's neighboring celestial body has the unique property of naturally shielding radio waves generated by chatter on Earth and around it. What some meeting organizer's see is need for a radio silence zone, dubbing it a shielded zone on the Moon.

That idea has been championed by Claudio Maccone of the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (National Institute for Astrophysics). In December 2021, the IAA established a new permanent committee devoted to the Moon Far Side Protection, chaired by Maccone as IAA technical director.

Maccone and colleagues contend that the Moon's far side is a region of paramount scientific interest as it provides an environment free from the electromagnetic pollution typical on Earth. They point to the quickening pace of lunar missions by multiple nations that may well irreversibly compromise the current condition of the moon's radio quietness.


http://moonvillageassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Post1-1-1024x1280.jpg


"My concern is that lunar projects are rapidly developing and are not coordinated," says Joseph Silk, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and professor of physics at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris.

"We are at risk of a Wild West scenario due to the rivalries between competing space agencies and commercial interests. The number of desirable lunar sites is limited. The last major outer space treaty dates to 1967, and has no means of enforcement. A new International Space Treaty is urgently needed."

The Moon & NASA

NASA’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget for Luna


http://jatan.space/content/images/size/w1600/2024/03/spacex-lunar-starship-and-blue-origin-blue-moon-landers-for-nasa-artemis-crewed-landings.jpg

Illustrations of SpaceX’s Lunar Starship and Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lunar landers respectively. NASA has contracted these companies to land Artemis astronauts on the Moon, this decade and next.


The US Congress will provide NASA with $24.9 billion for FY2024, a budget two billion less than the Presidential request and half a billion less than FY2023. Accounting for inflation only makes the cut deeper.

However, the US Congress has prioritized and maintained similar levels of funding for Artemis, which not only includes sustaining development and production of the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft architecturally required for astronauts to reach lunar orbit but also the full requested $1.9 billion for the crewed lunar landing providers SpaceX and Blue Origin. NASA also gets the requested $380 million for continued development of advanced lunar spacesuits for which the agency chose Axiom Space and Collins in 2022.

What isn’t clear yet is what ensued of the $459 million budget request for NASA’s Lunar Discovery and Exploration (LDEP) program, particularly to ensure full funding for the CLPS lunar landings necessary to enable diverse surface science and technology demonstrations.

How to Make a Solar Eclipse Viewer at Home

Safely watch the total solar eclipse on April 8

To build one, all you need are a few household supplies: a box (a shoebox will work), a small piece of tinfoil, a white sheet of paper, tape, a pin or needle and a box cutter or X-Acto knife.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GZvJifZiKre2MGAV3Fp4pg-485-40.jpg


Cut a small hole, about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) across, in one end of the shoebox, near the top edge.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/A5TZPKsgoV9T5ZjktDSKPk-485-40.jpg


Tape a piece of tinfoil over the hole.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2xCrQuYNTF2mZRTpzUVqiD-485-40.jpg


Using a pin or needle, punch a hole in the center of the foil.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/PXFE6SNscnKYCXqNB3tjTh-485-40.jpg


Tape a small piece of white paper to the inside of the box, at the opposite end from the foil-covered hole. The paper should be positioned so that light entering the box through the pin hole will hit it. This is your "projection screen," where you'll look for the image of the sun.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/qeLXccoZkBxET4Ry6jHHqj-485-40.jpg


Cut a 1 inch (2.5 centimeter) hole in the box on a side adjacent to the image screen (the white piece of paper). This is your viewing hole; it must be positioned so that you can look through it at an angle and see the white paper.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/a7zmjKxW2REsMxTnDn4qCX-485-40.jpg


Place the lid back on the box.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7HgXUJuMazymnVVTQ2vzjW-485-40.jpg


Watch the eclipse.

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DaEnuvLPyHDigDTLFMeBBS-485-40.jpg


To test your viewer, take it outside on a sunny day and hold the shoebox so that it lines up with its own shadow, aligning with light from the sun. Stand so that when you look through the viewing hole, you can see a tiny circle of light on the image screen; that's the sun. During the eclipse, you'll see the shadow of the moon pass in front of the sun.

REMEMBER: Looking directly at the sun, even when it is partially covered by the moon, can cause serious eye damage or blindness. NEVER look at a partial solar eclipse without proper eye protection.

Monday, March 25: Full Crow Moon – Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 


http://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C5612AQECROenFoWq_A/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/0/1520138107388?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=SU8QXrFxFHlnR9ho0iPJzXwaZyCzIlkDUyWvH9ce-IY

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xCviuKuh2UKXHBJMWMCosB-970-80.jpg


The moon will reach its full phase on Monday, March 25 at 3:00 a.m. EDT, 12:00 a.m. PDT, or 07:00 GMT. The March full moon, known as the Worm Moon, Crow Moon, Sap Moon or Lenten Moon, always shines in or near the stars of Leo or Virgo. The indigenous Ojibwe people of the Great Lakes region call this full moon Ziissbaakdoke-giizis "Sugar Moon" or Onaabani-giizis, the "Hard Crust on the Snow Moon". For them it signifies a time to balance their lives and to celebrate the new year. The Cree of North America call it Mikisiwipisim, the "the Eagle Moon" — the month when the eagle returns. The Cherokee call it Anvyi, the "Windy Moon" when the planting cycle begins anew. 

This full moon will pass through the northern portion of the Earth's penumbral shadow, slightly darkening the moon in a penumbral lunar eclipse visible in the Americas. The lower (southern) rim of the full moon will start its trip through the shadow at 12:53 a.m. EDT (04:53 GMT). At maximum eclipse at 3:14 a.m. EDT (07:14 GMT), 96% of the moon will be immersed. The moon will slide fully clear of the penumbra at 5:33 a.m. EDT (09:33 GMT). A detectable darkening of the moon is only expected to be apparent between 2:30 and 4 a.m. EDT (06:30 to 08:00 GMT). This lunar eclipse will be followed later by the total solar eclipse on April 8.

Fake Eclipse Glasses Polluting Marketplace, American Astronomical Society Warns

Here's how to check if yours are safe


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ARc57yw8KnCu5mHb6Vv6bn-970-80.gif


April 8's total solar eclipse is approaching fast.

Millions of people along the path of totality will be viewing the total eclipse, meaning millions of pairs of eyes will gazing up at the sun for hours as the eclipse unfolds. When it comes to solar observation, safety is paramount as viewing the sun directly and without protection can cause serious and long-term damage to your eyes.

That's why ahead of the once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomenon, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is warning people of about the risks of counterfeit and knock-off solar glasses. 

The AAS says there is a way in which you can test your solar glasses before using them for the event.

If you wear them inside, you shouldn't be able to see anything except for very bright lights, but they will appear faint. If you can see things like pictures on the wall then the glasses are not dark enough for solar viewing.

If they pass that indoor test, you can take them outdoors and have a look around. Again, you shouldn't be able to see anything when wearing eclipse glasses other than the sun's reflection off a reflective surface and again, it should appear faint. If your glasses fail any of these home tests, you should either try and get a refund or discard them.

The inside left earpieces of counterfeit Chinese (top) and genuine American (bottom) eclipse glasses. Much of the text on the counterfeit glasses is copied from the real ones. Note that the counterfeit glasses include the name of U.S. company American Paper Optics but not the address (though there is a spurious fragment of an unrelated address above the name), whereas APO's glasses include both their name and address, as required by the ISO 12312-2 international standard for filters for direct observation of the sun.

Top: Counterfeit eclipse glasses from China that are printed on the back with “Mfg. by: American Paper Optics,” a U.S. company. Bottom: Real eclipse glasses from American Paper Optics. Notice that the lenses in the counterfeit glasses are black and have straight left and right edges, while the lenses in the genuine APO glasses are reflective and have curved left and right edges. Also note that these are representative designs. Most manufacturers of eclipse glasses make them with a wide variety of artwork on the front.

2023 was quite a year for aliens in the news which included reports of creatures in a backyard in Las Vegas, alleged alien mummies being presented to the Mexican Congress, and an alien invasion of a shopping mall in Florida. Receiving less publicity were reports from a remote village in Peru of harrowing encounters with aliens that moved on hover boards like Green Goblin from the 'Spiderman' movie.

Ursa Major — The Great Bear Constellation


http://starwalk.space/gallery/images/ursa-major/1140x641.jpg


Facts about Ursa Major constellation

♦ Name: Ursa Major (the Great Bear)
♦ Abbreviation: UMa
♦ Asterism: The Big Dipper
♦ Size: 1,280 sq. deg. (3rd largest constellation)
♦ Right ascension: 10,67 h
♦ Declination: +55.54°
♦ Visible between: 90°N – 30°S
♦ Celestial Hemisphere: Northern
♦ Brightest Star: Alioth (Epsilon Ursae Majoris)
♦ Main Stars: 19
♦ Messier DSO: 7
♦ Bordering constellations: Boötes, Camelopardalis, Canes Venatici, Coma Berenices, Draco, Leo, Leo Minor, Lynx

The asterism known as the Big Dipper's stars include: Benetnash (Alkaid), Mizar-Alcor, Alioth, Megrez, Dubhe, Merak, and Phad (Phecda).

The two stars on the outer edge of the Big Dipper’s bowl – Merak and Dubhe – are called “the Pointers” because they point at Polaris. To find the North Star, draw an imaginary line between these two stars and extend it about five times. When you find Polaris, you are on your way to finding the Little Dipper and, eventually, the Ursa Minor constellation. Polaris is the brightest star in Ursa Minor that marks the end of the Little Dipper’s handle.

Unknown Species of Giant Tyrannosaur Discovered in USA

https://www.science.org/do/10.1126/science.z3ebmtm/full/_0111_siftertrex-1705011997890.jpg

While dry weather conditions are not what is hoped for, it has enabled scientists to uncover a teasure trove of data about the past.

The dinosaur’s fossilized skull and bones were found in the Hall Lake Formation of New Mexico.

“Tyrannosaurid dinosaurs were the dominant predators in North America and Asia during the Late Cretaceous epoch,” said Dr. Sebastian Dalman from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and his colleagues.

“Evolving from small-bodied ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous, they became apex predators in the latest Cretaceous, and finally saw the appearance of T. rex.”

“T. rex, characterized by a robust skeleton and powerful, bone-crushing jaws, was the dominant carnivore in the Late Maastrichtian of western North America. Growing to 12 m long and 10 tons in weight, T. rex was the largest terrestrial predator of its time, and perhaps of all time.”

The newly-identified species, Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis, lived in what is now the United States between 71 and 73 million years ago, or between 5 and 7 million years before T. rex.

The Surprising Ways Animals React to a Total Solar Eclipse

https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_lETO3SdmwZx7eyeDy7V0oAWzWmQUvoi-9ElQraVuI=s48-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj

When the moon hides the sun in a total solar eclipse, some animals seem to think that it is briefly nighttime, while others pace anxiously or even gaze up at the sky.

Adam Hartstone-Rose, Professor of Biological Sciences at North Carolina State University has been researching the effect an eclipse has on animals. During the 2017 event, he recorded Komodo dragons becoming unusually active, gorillas performing typical nighttime behaviour, flamingos gathering around their chicks and siamangs making vocalisations never heard before. Hartstone-Rose will use the upcoming eclipse on 8 April to collect more data.

New Camera Software Captures The World As Animals See It

https://yt3.googleusercontent.com/ytc/AIdro_ncCWu-oQcT13A8cuZU0SzQxld8pcWEDIglrPp-=s48-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj

It’s easy to forget that most animals don’t see the world the way humans do. In fact, with infrared and ultraviolet sight, many animals experience a world that is completely invisible to us.

Now, however, scientists have developed hardware and software that allows you to capture footage as if it was filmed through the eyes of animals such as honeybees and birds.

It’s an intriguing, revealing look at nature and animal behavior, and one the researchers from the University of Sussex and the Hanley Color Lab at George Mason University believe will have a wide range of uses. As such, they’ve made the software open-source, encouraging everyone from nature documentary makers and ecologists to outdoors enthusiasts and bird-watchers to take a peek inside these animals’ very different visual realities.

While it has limitations – it can’t capture polarized light and has a limited frame rate, so would struggle to capture speedy creatures – the hardware is designed to suit commercially available cameras.

Fast Moving Saucer UFO Sighted During Flight From FLA to NYC - March 25, 2024

This fast moving object was only seen for a couple of seconds in the original clip and it has the appearance of the classic "Flying Saucer" type UFO. As we can see in the close up footage and stills there seem to be no propellers that a drone would have, and as for another plane there are no wings, this object looks sleek in design with no possible propulsion visible.

The Chronoscope is a film written and directed by Andrew Legge which was made as part of Wicklow County Council's Per Cent for Art commissioning programme. Artists and film-makers were invited to submit proposals for this film commission in North Wicklow through which Andrew Legge was selected within a two-stage open competitive process. Under this brief, filmmakers were asked to consider the context of the local area and with optional community engagement in developing a proposal for the commission.

Andrew Legge (writer and director), in conjunction with Fastnet Films, produced a film set in 1930's Ireland. Shot in black and white, this documentary-style film evokes the style and atmosphere of the 1930's period. Legge and Fastnet Films worked with a cast and crew from County Wicklow, and the majority of the film was shot on locations in the Wicklow area.

Polar Vortex is 'Spinning Backwards' Above Arctic After Major Reversal Event


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/o48xrmBsXgZFkjBwFijFQ9-650-80.gif


The polar vortex circling the Arctic is swirling in the wrong direction after surprise warming in the upper atmosphere triggered a major reversal event earlier this month. It is one of the most extreme atmospheric U-turns seen in recent memory.

In the past, disruptions to the polar vortex — a rotating mass of cold air that circles the Arctic — have triggered extremely cold weather and storms across large parts of the U.S.

The current reversal event in the Arctic began on March 4. However, the winds are starting to slow down, hinting that the vortex will return to its normal trajectory soon.

The change in air temperature around the Arctic has sucked up large amounts of ozone from lower latitudes, creating a temporary ozone spike — the opposite of an ozone hole. Currently, there is more ozone surrounding the Arctic than at this time during any other year on record.

Historical records show that SSW (sudden stratospheric warming) events are more likely to occur during El Niño or La Niña, the two contrasting phases of a natural cycle of planet-wide warming and cooling. During these phases, global weather systems become more unstable, which sets the stage for more frequent reversal events.

We are currently in the midst of a major El Niño, which could make further reversals or disruptions more likely over the next year or so.

Behind the Bay Doors of Area 51 - The Lazar UFO at S4 // 3D CGI Animation

Published 29th March 2024 (14:31)

n7Ng-wDB1V0

Welcome to Area 51 – S4. I take you on a tour through the enigmatic S4 Hangar at Area 51, a location shrouded in mystery and steeped in extraterrestrial lore.

But that’s not all. I also guide you through the Lazar S4 UFO, an otherworldly craft described in detail by the controversial figure, Bob Lazar. Every detail you see in this video has been meticulously crafted in Cinema4D, based on the precise accounts of Bob Lazar. From the imposing structure of the S4 Hangar to the intricate design of the Lazar S4 UFO, each element has been brought to life with an unwavering commitment to authenticity.

The animations you see were created in Unreal Engine, a powerful tool known for its ability to create immersive and realistic 3D experiences. This was a labor of love, undertaken in my spare time, driven by a lifelong fascination with UFOs.

The EP-9 Equipment Pallet That Fell To Earth

In March, the ISS discarded a pallet of waste assuming it would dissipate, as usual, before hitting Earth.

1766211941922415053
https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/1766211941922415053

As reported when it happened on March 8, most of the material from the pallet, batteries, and cargo carrier would have likely burned up as they plunged through the atmosphere. Temperatures would have reached several thousand degrees, vaporizing most of the material before it could reach the ground.

The entire pallet, including the nine disused batteries from the space station's power system, had a mass of more than 2.6 metric tons (5,800 pounds), according to NASA. Size-wise, it was about twice as tall as a standard kitchen refrigerator.

However, this pallet did not burn up in the atmosphere. Instead, it fell through the roof of Alejandro Otero's home.

In a post on X, Otero said he is waiting for communication from "the responsible agencies" to resolve the cost of damages to his home.

1768729031493427225
https://twitter.com/Alejandro0tero/status/1768729031493427225

If the object is owned by NASA, Otero or his insurance company could make a claim against the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act, according to Michelle Hanlon, executive director of the Center for Air and Space Law at the University of Mississippi.

"It gets more interesting if this material is discovered to be not originally from the United States," she said. "If it is a human-made space object which was launched into space by another country, which caused damage on Earth, that country would be absolutely liable to the homeowner for the damage caused."

This could be an issue in this case. The batteries were owned by NASA, but they were attached to a pallet structure launched by Japan's space agency.

Astronaut John Young: The Corned Beef and Rye Guy Who Walked On The Moon


http://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/1/1/4/936114.jpg


On Mar. 23, 1964, during NASA's first crewed Gemini flight, Gemini III, pilot John Young produced a smuggled corned beef sandwich from his spacesuit pocket shortly after launch. He offered fellow astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom, mission commander some but soon realized it probably wasn't the best snack for the flight. The transcript from the mission:


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/z2jJyXYNZra6eXPmQkJ7U6-970-80.jpg


John Young:

"Wally Schirra had a corned-beef sandwich made up at a restaurant at Cocoa Beach a couple of days before. I hid it in a pocket of my spacesuit. I had been bored by the official menus we'd practiced in training and it seemed like a fun idea at the time. I hadn't counted on the pungent odor in a closed cabin."

When the men made it back to Earth, it would be the first time NASA was given an official reprimand by Congress.


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9sUfH7UXzQkVCnzgwGxgpd-650-80.jpg


Despite being NASA's longest-serving astronaut, piloting multiple space missions, going to the Moon three times, and walking on it once, this brave individual's main claim to fame will remain this one-of-a-kind, never to be repeated event.

Your hair may be the next great renewable power source. Scientists are diving into the idea of using hair to generate electricity. Human hair has some surprisingly strong and electrifying properties.

Wednesday, April 10 - Crescent Moon Joins Jupiter (after sunset) 

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GRPaP7RJQWvnU3EiYoLts6-970-80.jpg

A pretty sight will greet skywatchers at dusk on Wednesday, April 10 when the young crescent moon will pose to the upper left of the bright planet Jupiter in the western sky. The duo, which will share the view in binoculars (orange circle), will first appear as the sky begins to darken and then shine above the rooftops until about 9:30 p.m. local time – with the pretty Pleiades star cluster aka Messier 45 sprinkled a fist’s diameter above them. Earlier, watch for Earthshine on the moon. Sometimes called the Ashen Glow or the Old Moon in the New Moon’s Arms, the phenomenon is visible within a day or two of new moon, when sunlight reflected off Earth and back toward the moon slightly brightens the unlit portion of the moon’s Earth-facing hemisphere.

In the southeastern sky before sunrise on Wednesday, April 10, the easterly motion of reddish Mars will carry it closely past yellowish Saturn in a spectacular conjunction. The two planets, both about equally bright, will rise together around 5 a.m. local time and then climb until the morning twilight hides them. Mars and Saturn will be cozy enough to share the view in binoculars (orange circle) from April 3 to 18.

UFO History :nerd: w/Preston Dennett

Peter and the UFOs: A True Story of Contact

Although this happened in the past, this information has only recently come to light, due to the subject's son contacting Mr Dennett.


It was 1968, and 13-year-old Carter Welles walked to school with his best friend, Jackson Groves near his home in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Jackson had just experienced a spontaneous out-of-body experience, and both boys were amazed by the event. Together they vowed to learn how to achieve astral projection. For the next two years they read everything they could find on the subject and meditated daily, but were unable to get out-of-body. Then one evening, Jackson walked home along a remote country highway outside of Toronto when a truckdriver offered him a ride. Jackson accepted. The driver introduced himself as Peter and said, “Well, Jackson, how’s it going with the astral travelling?”

Jackson was shocked because he did not know this man, and Jackson had told nobody but Carter about their attempts to have OBEs. Jackson asked Peter how he knew his name and about the OBEs, and the man just smiled and said, “Oh, you know, we’ve been keeping an eye on you guys.”

After speaking with Peter for an hour or two, Jackson was amazed. Peter showed telepathic abilities, could call forth the wind, and said he worked with extraterrestrials and had been onboard UFOs. He even offered to take Jackson onboard a craft. Jackson was too scared to accept the invitation, but he continued to meet with Peter and learn about spirituality, psychic abilities, and UFOs …

New Horizons Finds Evidence for 2nd Kuiper Belt


http://earthsky.org/upl/2024/04/Voyager1and2_NASA-John-Hopkins-APL-SwRI-e1712675526502.jpeg


It excited astronomers and public worldwide when the New Horizons spacecraft encountered Pluto. This craft (the fastest one ever sent outward from Earth) launched on January 19, 2006, passed the moon’s orbit in just 9 hours, and then spent 10 years crossing the 3-billion-mile distance to Pluto. It swept past Pluto in 2015, passing within about 7,750 miles (12,500 km) of the little world and discovering, among many other things, a large, young, heart-shaped region of ice on Pluto plus mountains made of water ice.

In 2019, New Horizons swept past Arrokoth, which thereby became the farthest and most primitive object in our solar system ever to be visited by a spacecraft. On April 4, 2024, New Horizons chief scientist Alan Stern provided an update of the mission’s findings, as it continues to move outward. He said New Horizons has found evidence for a 2nd Kuiper Belt. He also said the New Horizons team is still hopeful that groundbased searches will reveal new Kuiper Belt Objects that the spacecraft might be able to explore. He reported:

"The spacecraft continues to collect round-the-clock data on our sun’s cocoon in the galaxy, called the heliosphere, and transmit that data, as well as the final data from our flyby of Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth, back to Earth … The first of those was the publication of exciting new results from our onboard dust counter instrument, which you can find online. It shows that over the past few years, the instrument detected an unexpectedly high number of dust impacts."

Why is that so exciting? Because it indicates more dust at greater distances from the sun than expected, which in turn could be evidence of an extended Kuiper Belt, or even a second Kuiper Belt, lying ahead.

Bottom line: News from the Pluto spacecraft New Horizons; It is still alive and still speeding outward. The team is hopeful new spacecraft targets will be found.

Survival of the Nicest

Have we got evolution the wrong way round?


http://media.nature.com/w400/magazine-assets/d41586-024-00999-5/d41586-024-00999-5_26944218.jpg


The fact that all life evolved thanks to natural selection can have depressing connotations. If ‘survival of the fittest’ is the key to evolution, are humans hardwired for conflict with one another? Not at all, says evolutionary biologist Jonathan Silvertown in his latest book, Selfish Genes to Social Beings: A Cooperative History of Life. On the contrary, he argues, many phenomena in the natural world, from certain types of predation to parasitism, rely on cooperation. Thus “we need no longer fret that human nature is sinful or fear that the milk of human kindness will run dry”.

Silvertown uses examples from genes, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals to emphasize that cooperation is ubiquitous in nature. For instance, bacteria called rhizobia thrive in the root nodules of legumes — and turn nitrogen from the air into a soluble form that the plants can use. Some beetles cooperate to bury animal corpses that would be too large for any single insect to manage alone, both reducing the risk of other animals stealing food and providing a nest for beetle families to live in.

And many bacteria indicate their presence to each other using a chemical-signalling system called quorum sensing, which is active only when members of the same species are tightly packed together. This allows each cell to adjust its gene expression in a way that benefits the individuals in the group — to release a poison to kill other species, for instance, when enough bacteria are clustered together to mount a decent attack.

Even eighteenth-century piracy, says Silvertown, is a good example of effective cooperation. Pirates worked together on their ships, and used violence more often against outsiders than as an internal mechanism for law enforcement.

The author argues against the idea that cooperation is fundamentally at odds with competition — a view that emerged as a consequence of the sociobiology movement of the 1970s, in which some biologists argued that all human behaviour is reducible to a Darwinian need to be the ‘fittest’. The reality, as Silvertown shows, is not necessarily so.


http://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKO9iQwNCPVlePgoGLCfuXPR1g6LD4-t4lzfDmLgr_U2ez6dxt66cQ1sQBjtnDZRZE0VUwrYt2d07FH5DTGZsMtT6XY525IqoNkzIuCMvp9x54S4VJsb_MbrGJZpmgSTc3c eFmC5rurygW/s1600/Lichens.jpg


Take lichens, for instance — ‘composite organisms’ in which an alga or cyanobacterium lives within a fungus. The Swiss botanist Simon Schwendener, who discovered this relationship in the 1860s, argued that a lichen is a parasite: “Its slaves are green algals, which it has sought out or indeed caught hold of, and forced into its service.” Another way to view the relationship is that these algae and fungi are co-dependent — when they co-exist as a lichen, each grows better than it would alone. The line between parasitism and mutualism, competition and cooperation is not clear cut. It’s a matter of perspective.

VOLCANIC VORTEX RINGS

Mount Etna in Italy, the crossworders' favorite, is doing something rare and beautiful. "It is blowing smoke rings," reports Marcella Giulia Pace, who photographed the phenomenon on April 6th.

"A continuous jet of rings is dancing around the craters until they dissolve into the sky--a phenomenon of extreme rarity," she said.

Mount Etna has produced vortices before, but nothing like this. In April 2024 Etna "has broken all previous records," according to Boris Behncke of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Catania. Tourists are flocking to the mountain to witness the display.

Japanese Astronauts to Land on the Moon w/ New NASA Partnership


http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-800x450.jpg
Lunar Cruiser

COLORADO SPRINGS — Japan will become the first nation after the United States to land an astronaut on the moon as part of the Artemis lunar exploration campaign under an agreement between the two countries announced April 10.

At an event in Washington, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Masahito Moriyama signed an agreement regarding an additional Japanese contribution to Artemis, a pressurized lunar rover called Lunar Cruiser.

NASA will deliver the rover to the moon, which the agencies said should take place ahead of the Artemis 7 mission scheduled for no earlier than 2031. NASA will also provide two seats on future Artemis lunar landing missions to astronauts from the Japanese space agency JAXA, the first agency other than NASA to secure spots on landing missions.

“The pressurized rover will be a powerful contribution to the overall Artemis architecture as Japan and the U.S. go hand in hand with international and industry partners to the lunar surface and beyond,” Hiroshi Yamakawa, president of JAXA, said in a statement. “JAXA is ready to assist MEXT and push this forward with our science and technological expertise to establish sustainable human presence on the moon.”

“America no longer will walk on the moon alone. With this new rover, we will uncover groundbreaking discoveries on the lunar surface that will benefit humanity and inspire the Artemis Generation,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement.

The announcement, though, offered no details about when the Japanese astronauts would fly to the moon. “It depends,” Nelson said at an April 10 briefing when asked about schedules, noting that the two countries “announced a shared goal for a Japanese national to land on the moon on a future NASA mission assuming benchmarks are achieved.”

The ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S), led by UK company Vertical Future (also supported by the Australian Space Agency and NASA) is aimed at delivering a fully autonomous agriculture system to the world’s first commercial space station. Constructed by Axiom, the space station is due to be in orbit in 2026.

P4S Director, Professor Matthew Gilliham, says that in addition to helping to feed astronauts of the future, these technologies will also be applied to terrestrial agriculture.

“The project will deliver prototypes for a fully autonomous agriculture system that can be monitored and operated remotely or with artificial intelligence, fit for future space exploration, aligned to NASA’s future Moon-to-Mars Artemis missions,” said Professor Gilliham.

“This collaboration will design plant growth systems that can work autonomously. It will help us to deliver our aims of enabling long-term space habitation, and we will also be able to utilise the technology we develop to improve sustainability of food, medicine, and material production on Earth.

Map Shows Where Billions of Cicadas Will Soon Emerge in the US


http://cdn.scrippsnews.com/images/videos/x/1712693232_yjeJyT.jpg


Any day now, two massive broods of cicadas will emerge from the ground in a double emergence event that hasn’t happened in over 200 years. Billions — maybe even trillions — of these insects will be flying around, and now a map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows us exactly where this “cicada-geddon” will happen.

The two groups are Brood XIII and Brood XIX. Cicadas have a periodical life cycle, only emerging from below the surface when they reach adulthood and temperatures are right. Some take 13 years to become adults, while others take 17 years. 

It is a rare event for cicadas with a 13-year life cycle and a 17-year life cycle to reach adulthood at the same time. Experts said this event will not happen again until 2245.

Brood XIII (represented by a brown/green color on the USDA map) consists of three species and has a 17-year life cycle. This group will be seen in parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and near Lake Michigan. Expect the suburbs of Chicago to be noisy with their mating call during the summer months. 

Brood XIX (seen in light blue on the USDA map) has a 13-year life cycle, and its four species will be seen more widespread across the U.S. These cicadas will resurrect in Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and parts of Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia. 

Even though the massive amount of cicadas may sound scary, the insects don’t bite or sting and are not hazardous to people or pets.

Lyrid Meteor Shower 2024

When, Where & How


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kjiexvA8BRQfWz4dqa3Ee8-650-80.jpg


The Lyrid meteor shower occurs between April 16-25 every year and will next peak on the night of April 22, 2024. 

Viewing conditions for the next Lyrid meteor shower may be hindered by the almost full Moon shining brightly in Virgo around the time of the Lyrid's peak, but that's not to say it's impossible to catch sight of an impressive meteor or three.

Lyrid meteor shower

♦ When: 16 to 25 April 
♦ Peak: April 22
♦ Comet of origin: C/1861 G1 Thatcher (Comet Thatcher)
♦ Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR): 18 (The number of meteors a single observer would see in an hour of peak activity with a clear, dark sky, radiant at the zenith)

As with most meteor showers, the peak viewing time will be before dawn, but the Lyrids will become visible beginning at about 10:30 p.m. local time.

The shower is known for its luminous dust trains (so-called “shooting stars”) which can be observed for several seconds. The Lyrids are associated with Comet Thatcher, a long-period comet that orbits the sun every 415.5 years; it last reached its closest approach to the Sun in 1861. The average Lyrid shower produces 15 to 20 meteors per hour.

Some years, the Lyrid meteor shower intensifies and can produce up to 100 meteors per hour in what's called an "outburst," but it is difficult to predict exactly when that will happen. 


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bdpspqQiUR5bVacQGPUUaN-970-80.png


The radiant — the point from which the meteors appear to originate — will be high in the evening sky in the constellation Lyra to the northeast of Vega, one of the brightest stars visible in the night sky this time of year. Don't look directly toward the radiant, though, because you might miss the meteors with the longest tails.

The Lyrids are one of the oldest recorded showers, with observations going back to 687 B.C. Although it helps, you don't need any kind of special equipment to see the meteors; just look up at the dark sky, be patient and enjoy the show.

The Science Behind a Famous Joy Division Album Cover


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/UnknownPleasuresVinyl.jpg


Joy Division’s striking Unknown Pleasures album cover holds a scientific mystery. The image’s true origin was lost until senior graphics editor Jen Christiansen traced it from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy to its debut in a 1971 issue of Scientific American, and then all the way to Cornell’s Rare Book Room. The computer-generated stacked plot of a famous pulsar came from a 1970 dissertation by Harold Dumont Craft Jr—who would likely be surprised to see his data visualization featured later in peoples' homes worldwide.

NASA's Solar Sail Set for Space Voyage: Testing New Propulsion Method


http://www.spxdaily.com/images-hg/solarsails-nasa-marker-hg.jpg


NASA is poised to launch its Advanced Composite Solar Sail System next week, utilizing a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula. Scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, the mission seeks to explore solar propulsion by deploying a CubeSat (a class of nanosatellite that uses a standard size and form factor) into orbit approximately 600 miles above Earth, a significant ascent from the orbit of the International Space Station.

The mission's primary objective is to test the CubeSat's reflective solar sail in space, where the minimal pressure of sunlight, comparable in force to a paperclip on your palm, can be used to maneuver the satellite without conventional fuel. Following a thorough two-month subsystems verification, the CubeSat will execute a series of maneuvers to demonstrate potential altitude adjustments via sunlight pressure alone.

This solar sail technology, developed by NASA's Ames Research Center with contributions from Langley Research Center and managed by the Small Spacecraft Technology program, aims to facilitate more cost-effective missions to destinations like the Moon and Mars by proving the practicality of solar sail propulsion.

Scifi Showdown: "Star Trek" vs "Star Wars" Debate at 39th Space Symposium


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Star_Trek_Federation_Officers.jpg/220px-Star_Trek_Federation_Officers.jpg


The clash of the titans finally happened, and it wasn’t between starships in a distant galaxy, but rather between fervent fans of two of the most iconic science fiction franchises: "Star Trek" and "Star Wars". 

The battleground? The RedWire booth at the 39th Space Symposium, where passions flared, arguments flew and a winner was declared by none other than former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Moderated by SpaceNews Senior Staff Writer Jeff Foust, the April 11 debate saw Team Star Trek, represented by Redwire Chief Growth Officer Mike Gold and NASA Chief Technologist A.C. Charania, go head-to-head with Team Star Wars, consisting of Jessica Noble, general counsel at iSpace Technologies U.S., and Camille Bergin, better known as The Galactic Gal.
 
The event was no mere clash of fandoms; it was a battle of ideologies, with each side arguing the merits of their beloved franchise. Team Star Trek argued for its optimistic vision of humanity’s future, spearheaded by the ideals of exploration, diplomacy and cooperation, as epitomized by the Federation and its starship crews. Team Star Wars, meanwhile, championed the epic saga’s timeless themes of heroism, destiny and the eternal struggle between light and dark, not to mention Ewoks, Han and Chewie.

Bridenstine dodged the “Star Trek or Star Wars?” quagmire by citing "Space Balls" as his personal favorite.

The outcome was not without contention, as the crowd audibly leaned in favor of the arguments put forth by the other team. 

Hardcore fans can watch the debate ...

Chechnya Bans All Music Deemed Too Fast or Too Slow


http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/dance-ban.jpg


Authorities in the Russian Republic of Chechnya have announced a ban on music that they consider too fast or slow.

Minister of Culture Musa Dadayev announced the decision to limit all musical, vocal and choreographic compositions to a tempo ranging from 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) at a meeting Friday, the Russian state new agency TASS reported.

“(I) have announced the final decision, agreed with the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, that from now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works must correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute,” Dadayev said, according to TASS.

Under Kadyrov’s directive, the region now ensures that Chechen musical and dance creations align with the “Chechen mentality and musical rhythm,” aiming to bring “to the people and to the future of our children the cultural heritage of the Chechen people,” Dadayev added.

The ban will mean that many songs in musical styles such as pop and techno will be banned.

Chechnya sits in the North Caucasus region between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. It is an almost entirely Muslim republic, which includes part of Russia’s border with Georgia. Kadyrov has been leader since 2007 and has used his time in office to stifle any form of dissent.

Russian media reports that Chechen artists have until June 1st to rewrite any music that does not conform with the new requirements.

Pink Moon

The full moon of April, called the Pink Moon, will occur in the eastern U.S. during the evening hours of April 23, at 7:49 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (2349 UT). Later that night, Mars and Saturn will rise in the predawn hours.  


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/uoAC2DdQe982Hko7kGeZVD-970-80.jpg

Moon rising next to Orvieto Cathedral (Duomo di Orvieto church), Umbria, Italy, 4-6-23 

As the full moon will be rising in the east, one can see around it two bright stars. The one above and to the right of the moon is Spica, the brightest star in Virgo, and to the left and higher (draw a line at about a 45 degree angle) one will see Arcturus, the brightest star in Boötes, the Herdsman. 

The Old Farmer's Almanac calls the April full moon the Pink Moon, but that hasn't much to do with the color of the moon itself. The name "Pink Moon" comes from the bloom of ground phlox, a pink flower common in North America. Other names include the Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon and Fish Moon.

The Ontario Native Literacy Coalition notes that the Ojibwe people called it the Sucker Moon after the common fish species known as suckerfish or remora. The Ojibwe saw the fish as a messenger between the spirit world and ours. In the same region, the Cree called April's full moon the Goose Moon, marking the month when geese returned to the north after migrating south for the winter. 

For Jewish people the April full moon falls in the month of Nisan, on the lunar Hebrew calendar. The Passover holiday starts at sunset on April 22. Most of the time Passover and Easter coincide, but this year they do not; the reason is that Christian calendars use the spring equinox (usually around March 21) as a base to calculate the date of Easter from the first full moon after the equinox; in this case that happened on March 25, and the first Sunday after that was March 31. The Hebrew calendar ignores that and puts Passover in the corresponding lunar month, which can shift several weeks away from the equinox. 

Lunar calendars exist in many other traditions; in the Southern Hemisphere the Zulu called the April lunation uMbasa, and the Māori of New Zealand called the April moon "Paenga-whāwhā," and described the period as when "all straw is now stacked at the borders of the plantations."

Watch For a Daytime Moon


http://earthsky.org/upl/2020/08/Peter-Lowenstein-waning-gibbous-moon-flowers-Mutare-Zimbabwe-5-11-2020-e1596729978899.jpg

Peter Lowenstein caught the daytime moon in its waning gibbous phase from Mutare, Zimbabwe. He said: “Three-quarters of an hour after sunrise, I photographed the daytime moon descending toward the top of a flowering African Tulip (Spathodia campanulta) tree.”

Daytime moon is up after sunrise now

This month’s full moon came on the night of April 23, 2024. By April 25, the moon is in a waning gibbous phase, rising later and later each successive night. For those at temperate latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, there’s an especially long time between moonrises on successive evenings around now. The April 25 moon will rise more than two hours after sunset. The April 26 moon will rise roughly to three hours after sunset.

And, of course, a later rising time means a later setting time. That’s why the mornings after a full moon are a good time to catch a nearly full daytime moon over your western horizon after sunrise.

The moon is up in the daytime half of the time. But, because it’s pale against the blue sky, it’s not as noticeable during the day as at night. Still, there are certain windows each month during which the daytime moon is most noticeable. The rest of April 2024 presents one of those windows, a good time to watch for a daytime moon.


April 26 and 27 Mornings, Moon Near Antares


http://earthsky.org/upl/2024/03/2024-April-26-27-Moon-C.jpeg


By the mornings of April 26 and 27, 2024 (or late evening April 25 and 26), the moon will be near the bright star Antares in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion. At that time, the moon will be rising a little before midnight at mid-northern latitudes. And it’ll still be up after the sun rises, but appearing thinner in phase and higher in the sky with each new dawn.

Because of Earth’s motion around the sun, Antares – like all the fixed stars (stars that appear not to move relative to one another) – will rise about four minutes earlier each evening. Meanwhile, because of its own motion around Earth, the moon will be rising later and later each evening and thus moving away from Antares’ location in the sky.

SIMULTANEOUS SOLAR FLARES

What are the odds? On April 23rd (0330 UT), NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory detected four simultaneous explosions from widely-separated areas on the sun.


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/q8uB3gAK2Q4CdvNragRvyP-325-40.jpg


The quadruple blast included three sunspots (small circles) and a magnetic filament (big circle), all erupting within minutes of one another hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart. (The filament eruption is more obvious in this 304 Å movie.) Their combined X-ray output added up to category M3.4.

Events like this are called "sympathetic solar flares"--that is, pairs of sunspots erupting at the same time even though they are far apart. Long ago, researchers assumed sympathetic flares must be a freak coincidence, but a 2002 study proved otherwise. Some sunspots are linked by nearly-invisible magnetic loops in the sun's corona. Instabilities can rapidly travel from one to another, creating a chain reaction of explosions.

This sympathetic flare was not a simple pair but a complex quartet covering much of the sun's Earth-facing hemisphere. It is reminiscent of the Great Eruption of August 1, 2010, which included more than a dozen shock waves, flares, and filament eruptions spanning 180 degrees of solar longitude.

Will any of the debris hit Earth? SOHO coronagraph images of the blast are now available, but unclear; the results will surely be known later in the week.

The question is, "Are there any odd perfect numbers?" Veritasium (https://www.youtube.com/@veritasium) has 15.4M subscribers with 397 videos.

wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number)

In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive proper divisors, that is, divisors excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number. The next perfect number is 28, since 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.

If the Sun is up but the sky is dark and the horizon is bright all around, you might be standing in the Moon's shadow during a total eclipse of the Sun. The all-sky Moon shadow shown in this composited panoramic view was captured from a farm near Shirley, Arkansas, planet Earth. The exposures were made under clear skies during the April 8 total solar eclipse. For that location near the center line of the Moon's shadow track, totality lasted over 4 minutes. Along with the solar corona surrounding the silhouette of the Moon planets and stars were visible during the total eclipse phase. Easiest to see here are bright planets Venus and Jupiter, to the lower right and upper left of the eclipsed Sun.

The huge stone blocks in this video appear to have been cut by lasers possibly before the Grand Canyon formed. Essentially it would be an extremely ancient rock quarry. He measured several and calculated the weight being that of a tank or even the Statue of Liberty. In the video description he noted he got the calculations wrong.

Muley Point, Utah (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Muley+Point/@37.2323624,-109.9943672,106m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x87373fb47fc36d37:0x77382c95e3f73e55!8m2!3d37.2325005!4d-109.9942921!16s%2Fg%2F113h_npss?entry=ttu) The cut stones extend for miles on the ridge of the canyon.


Yep. I am officially terrible at numbers. Turns out sandstone is much much heavier than 12.5 lbs / cubic foot. In fact it is much closer to ~150 lbs / cubic feet. Multiply every weight I mention in this video times 12 for a much more accurate number.

The information in this video is well researched. It's about the Ambohiby Massif (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambohiby_Massif) and the village within the crater. The structure is an ancient volcano that went extinct ninety million years ago when Madagascar was still attached to India. Scientists claim the volcano is an Alkaline Ring Complex and so is the Richat Structure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richat_Structure) or Eye of the Sahara. Later he goes into population density, road quality and agriculture.

Right in the center of the island nation of Madagascar there’s a strange, almost perfectly circular geological structure. It covers a bigger area than the city of Paris — and at first glance, it looks completely empty. But right in the center of that structure, there’s a single, isolated village: a few dozen houses, some fields of crops, and dirt roads stretching out in every direction.

When we first saw this village on Google Earth, its extreme remoteness fascinated us. Was the village full of people? How did they wind up there? And what did life look like in such a strange geography? To find out, we teamed up with a local team in Madagascar and fell down a rabbit hole of geology and mapping along the way. It’s a story of how continental shifts and volcanic geology came together to form a place for a group of people to call home.

Sunday, May 5: Old moon passes Mars (pre-dawn)

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UZkb78hRbLG8Mqp3pZ7nBU-970-80.jpg

Another day of travel will shift the even slimmer crescent moon several finger-widths to the lower left (or 4 degrees to the celestial east) of Mars. In the Americas, the duo will be close enough to share the view in binoculars (orange circle) — but turn all optics away from the eastern horizon before the sun rises.

Sunday, May 5: Eta-Aquarid meteor shower peak (overnight) 

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hnM8fijMQCMv6eTpLXe2YU-970-80.jpg

While meteors should be visible on Sunday after dusk, more should appear once the shower's radiant point in Aquarius rises above the southeastern horizon around 3 a.m. local time on Monday. A few dozen meteors per hour are typical during the peak — including some fireball meteors.

Eta Aquarid meteor shower peak could spawn over 100 'shooting stars' per hour

A green fireball meteor from the Eta Aquarids streaks through the sky above Babcock Wildlife Management Area, Punta Gorda, Florida (May, 2019)

It has been 38 years since Halley's Comet last passed through the inner solar system. This famous comet takes roughly 75 years to circle the sun. But if you're 42 years old or younger, you probably have little or no memory of the 1986 appearance of this famous cosmic vagabond (your next chance will come in the summer of 2061). 

Or maybe, if you were around back then, you didn't see Halley at all because of light pollution or the comet's low altitude above the horizon. If you missed out on the 1986 event, or don't want to wait until 2061, you might want to step outside before sunrise during these next few mornings and try to catch a view of some "cosmic litter" that has been left behind in space by Halley's Comet.  

The orbit of Halley's Comet closely approaches the Earth's orbit at two places. One point is in the middle to latter part of October, producing a meteor display known as the Orionids. The other point comes in the early part of May, producing the Eta Aquarid meteors.  

This year, the Eta Aquarid meteor shower is predicted to be at its best on Sunday morning, May 5, when the moon is a very thin (8% illuminated) waning crescent and safely out of harm's way to cause any disruption to visibility. This mid-spring meteor display remains above one-quarter of its peak strength for about 10 days. The 2024 version of this shower is anticipated to provide a higher number of meteors than usual.

... and death


http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Cave-of-Death.jpg


La Cueva de la Muerte

Located on the edge of the Poas Volcano, La Cueva de la Muerte (The Cave of Death) is only 2 meters deep and 3 meters long, which makes it a seemingly cozy refuge for insects, birds, and small animals looking for shelter. But appearances can be deceiving, as entering this tiny cavern results in an almost instant death. Although the tiny cave looks harmless to the naked eye, it is filled with carbon dioxide, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that also happens to be extremely toxic.

The Cave of Death features several signs warning people not to enter it if they value their lives, but its small size and narrow entrance also make it very difficult to access by humans.

To demonstrate just how lethal the Cave of Death actually is, local guides place a lit torch inside the cavern which is extinguished instantly by the absence of oxygen and the high concentration of carbon dioxide.

Cave of Death in Costa Rica


This cave near Venecia in Recreo Verde generates a substantial amount of carbon dioxide. The origin of the gas is volcanic. Per hour 30 kg of carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. This is equivalent as an average car driving 256 km. In a year this 263 tons of carbon dioxide is equivalent to a car driving 2.2 million km, or 56 times around the world.

The research for this video was spawned by a forest in Uruguay that strongly resembles a human fingerprint. He noted at the end of the video that when he left that county, he had to scan his fingerprint at the airport. That particular shape is due to the topography of the ground and the center point is the highest. They're tree farms run by UPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPM_(company)#:~:text=UPM%2DKymmene%20Oyj%20is%20a,Paper%20Mills%20Ltd%20in%201996.) based in Helsinki, Finland. They turn the trees into pulp for paper products that's shipped to Europe and China. A railroad track was being built to transport the pulp to port and the local people were angered. While touring the artificial forests he noted nothing else grew, but the trees and it's not beneficial to other flora and fauna. He used the word Afforestation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afforestation).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cndkF7bX3M

We set out to solve why a forest in the middle of Uruguay looked like that — and wound up finding something much bigger.

Deep in the geographic center of Uruguay, there’s a peculiar group of trees just a few kilometers down the road from the small town of San Gregorio de Polanco. From the ground, it's not particularly notable. But from above, the view is mind-boggling: Hundreds of trees are arranged in perfect concentric arcs, all spiraling toward the center. Together, they look remarkably like a human fingerprint.

When we first saw this forest in a Reddit post, we were fascinated. Why had the trees been arranged in this shape? Who planted them there? And why — when you zoom out on satellite view — was the entire country of Uruguay covered in similar-looking forests? To answer that question, we went straight to the source: interviewing locals, experts, and people whose lives have been shaped by a transformed landscape and economy.

'God's Hand'

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/T9JRcEvxkY8YpFCpotukrU-970-80.jpg

'God's Hand' leaves astronomers scratching their heads

A new photo from the JWST captures "God's Hand", a cometary globule in the Gum Nebula, where stars are being born.

○ What it is: CG 4, a "cometary globule"
○ Where it is: Gum Nebula, 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Puppis (the "poop deck")
○ When it was shared: May 6, 2024
○ Why it's so special: CG 4 is a fairly typical cloud of gas and dust where stars are being born, but its strange shape has earned it two odd names. Described as a "cometary globule" because of its faint tail's resemblance to a comet, it is also called "God's Hand" for its likeness to a massive outstretched arm reaching across the cosmos.

How cometary globules form is a mystery. Some astronomers theorize that they're shaped by stellar winds from massive hot stars nearby. Others suggest that these structures may be spherical nebulas that deform after being impacted by a nearby supernova — a star that exploded.

World’s Highest Observatory Begins Operations in Chile

http://1734811051.rsc.cdn77.org/data/images/full/446701/chile-astronomy-observatory.jpg

Following almost three decades of planning and construction, the world’s highest observatory has begun operations. The University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory (TAO), which is located at an altitude of 5640 m on the summit of Cerro Chajnantor at Atacama in northern Chile, officially opened on May 1st. The infrared telescope will be used to better our understanding of the universe as well as the origin of life.

At such a height, the clear skies and little water vapour in the atmosphere make Atacama one of the best places in the world for ground-based infra-red astronomy.  Built by the University of Tokyo, the telescope, which can be remotely controlled, includes a 6.5 m primary mirror that has been developed at Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona.

Takashi Miyata, from the University of Tokyo who is managing the observatory’s construction, has been working on the TAO for over 20 years and says he is “very excited” about the start of observations. Given the issues working at such an altitude, fellow astronomer Yuzuru Yoshii notes that construction “was an incredible challenge”. He adds there were also political issues that had to be respected.

“I have liaised with Indigenous peoples to ensure their rights and views are considered, the Chilean government to secure permission, local universities for technical collaboration, and even the Chilean Health Ministry to make sure people can work at that altitude in a safe manner,” notes Yoshii. “Thanks to all involved, research I’ve only ever dreamed about can soon become a reality, and I couldn’t be happier.”

"At the time, I thought it was a car with no wheels. We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it."

In this interview, he describes an experience with aliens when he was about twenty.

'I don't see any evidence of aliens.'

SpaceX's Elon Musk Says Starlink Satellites Have Never Dodged UFOs


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9rhyjALvL9YKcyaGUjuTra-650-80.jpg


Elon Musk isn't convinced that aliens have ever visited Earth. 

The SpaceX CEO and founder sat down for a panel titled "How to save the human race and other light topics" at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference held in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 7). During the conversation, the institute's chairman, financier Michael Milken, began by asking Musk how he feels about the well-known opening monologue to many "Star Trek" series, in which it is stated that the starship Enterprise's mission is to "seek out new life forms and new civilizations." Musk replied, "Yeah, that's the idea."

Musk elaborated, stating that if we send probes out into the universe, we might find "remains of long-dead alien civilizations." He then launched into an explanation about why he doesn't feel aliens have ever visited our planet.

Musk told Milken that he is frequently asked if he believes aliens are among us here on Earth, acknowledging how widespread that belief is. "And for some reason, a lot of the same people who think there are aliens among us don't think we went to the moon, which, I'm like: 'Think about that for a second,'" Musk said to laughter from the audience.

Musk elaborated on why he doesn't believe aliens have visited our planet, stating that, even with the thousands of broadband spacecraft that SpaceX operates in low Earth orbit, he hasn't once seen any compelling evidence of either extraterrestrial life or any potential craft operated by non-human intelligence.

"I've not seen any evidence of aliens," Musk said. "And SpaceX, with the Starlink constellation, has roughly 6,000 satellites, and not once have we had to maneuver around a UFO. [...] Never. So I'm like, okay, I don't see any evidence of aliens."

Sunday, May 19: Pallas at opposition (all night) 

http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KycqpXZnAYnDavkrAW7EdR-970-80.jpg

On Sunday, May 19, the main belt asteroid designated (2) Pallas will reach opposition, its closest approach to Earth for the year. On the nights around opposition, Pallas will shine with a peak visual magnitude of 9.1, which is within reach of a backyard telescope. 

The asteroid will be located above and between the bright double star Zeta Herculis, which marks the upper right corner of Hercules' keystone-shaped body, and Kornephoros, which shines at Hercules' elbow. Pallas itself will spend May sliding downward (to the celestial south) between those stars.

Sunday, May 19: Bright moon approaches Spica (overnight)

On Sunday afternoon, May 19, the pale orb of the waxing gibbous moon will clear the trees toward the southeast by about 5:30 p.m. local time. Once the sky darkens several hours later, Virgo's brightest star Spica will be visible to the lower right (or celestial southeast) of the very bright moon. 

Binoculars (orange circle) will better show the star against the moon's glare. As the night unfolds the moon's continuous eastward orbital motion (green line) will be apparent as it changes its distance from Spica.

General Relativity Explained Simply & Visually


http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/151/590x/1535474_1.jpg


In less than 15 minutes.


Albert Einstein was ridiculed when he first published his theory. People thought it was too weird and radical to be real. Einstein wasn’t satisfied with his theory either, because the theory did not apply if Gravity was present or if the observer was accelerating. One day, while observing a window washer on a ladder near his patent office, he had a thought experiment.

He imagined what would happen if the worker were to fall. He put himself in the window washer’s perspective, and imagined what he would experience as he was falling. He realized that if he was falling, gravity would be the only force acting on him. He would be accelerating towards the ground, but since the ground would not be pushing up on his body, he would feel no weight. And this would be no different than being weightless in space.

In a way gravity and acceleration were different ways to describe the same thing. The way to connect gravity in the theory of relativity was through the idea of acceleration, and this became the basis of general relativity.

Potential ‘Advanced Alien Civilizations’ Discovered by Scientists Orbiting 7 Stars

Scientists Find Needles in Haystack

Researchers have allegedly discovered seven stars in our galaxy that exhibit signs of potentially being surrounded by Dyson spheres, advanced structures built by hypothetical alien civilizations to harness the energy of their home stars. This groundbreaking finding has sparked significant interest in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

What is a Dyson Sphere?

(Short answer: In theory and models, they would work, however, construction is an impossible task.)


http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NYUBqse2gz2KJficf44pM8-650-80.jpg


Dyson spheres, first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960, are hypothetically colossal megastructures that could encompass a star, capturing a substantial portion of its energy output. These structures could vary in form, from a complete sphere encasing a star to more fragmented designs like Dyson swarms or ring stations.

The concept is rooted in the idea that an advanced alien civilization would need to harness massive amounts of energy to sustain its technological needs. By building a Dyson sphere, such a civilization could theoretically capture and utilize nearly all the energy produced by their star, significantly boosting their capabilities.

The seven stars identified are all M-dwarf stars, smaller and dimmer than our Sun, and located within 1,000 light-years of Earth. M-dwarf stars are known for their long lifespans and stable luminosity, making them favorable candidates for hosting long-term advanced civilizations.

The discovery is particularly intriguing because it narrows down the search for advanced alien civilizations to specific, observable targets. These stars’ consistent infrared excess cannot be easily attributed to known natural sources, suggesting the potential presence of artificial structures.

A team of scientists from Sweden, India, the UK, and the USA has led to the development of a method for detecting technosignatures associated with Dyson Spheres. This initiative named Project Hephaistos, after the Greek god of fire and metallurgy, aims to identify potential Dyson Sphere constructions by advanced civilizations.
