Constellation Cetus the Whale (Sea Monster)



Deneb Kaitos Marks the Tail of Cetus



Deneb Kaitos is the brightest star in the constellation Cetus the Whale (or Sea-Monster). In star names, the word deneb usually means tail. And so it is with this star. It marks the tail of Cetus. Deneb Kaitos is also known by two alternate names, Beta Ceti and Diphda. It shines at magnitude 2, making it about as bright as Polaris the North Star. Neither Polaris nor Deneb Kaitos shines brightly enough to be super noticeable. But both are well within the limit of visibility to the unaided eye. Based on parallax measurements, Deneb Kaitos lies at an estimated distance of 96 light-years from Earth.

Deneb Kaitos reaches its highest in the sky on October and November evenings every year. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere it appears in the southern sky. It’s closer to overhead as seen from Earth’s Southern Hemisphere.

The stars return to the same place in the sky about two hours earlier with each passing month (or four minutes earlier with each passing day). In middle January, look for Deneb Kaitos to reach its high point around 7 p.m. local time. On February evenings, this star drifts into the southwest sky, and disappears from the evening sky by March.



It’s easy to locate Deneb Kaitos if you’re familiar with the Great Square of Pegasus. Locate the star by drawing an imaginary line through 2 stars in the Square: Alpheratz and Algenib. Deneb Kaitos isn’t super bright, but it’s in a part of the sky filled with even-fainter stars.

An Ocean of Stars – Sh2-308: The Dolphin Head Nebula


http://apod.nasa.gov

Blown by fast winds from a hot, massive star, this cosmic bubble is huge. Cataloged as Sharpless 2-308 it lies some 5,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Big Dog (Canis Major) and covers slightly more of the sky than a Full Moon. That corresponds to a diameter of 60 light-years at its estimated distance. The massive star that created the bubble, a Wolf-Rayet star, is the bright one near the center of the nebula. Wolf-Rayet stars have over 20 times the mass of the Sun and are thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova phase of massive star evolution. Fast winds from this Wolf-Rayet star create the bubble-shaped nebula as they sweep up slower moving material from an earlier phase of evolution. The windblown nebula has an age of about 70,000 years. Relatively faint emission captured by narrowband filters in the deep image is dominated by the glow of ionized oxygen atoms mapped to a blue hue. Presenting a mostly harmless outline, SH2-308 is also known as The Dolphin-head Nebula.

Oldest Ghost Drawing Discovered on Babylonian Exorcism Tablet

"Do not look behind you."





British Museum curator Irving Finkel, from the museum's Middle East department, has discovered the oldest-known ghost drawing on a 3,500-year-old ancient Babylonian tablet that also includes instructions on how to exorcise the unwanted spirit.

The drawing on a clay tablet depicts a seemingly grumpy, bearded male ghost being led to the underworld on a rope by a woman. A ritual engraved alongside the sketch explains that the solution for removing pesky male ghosts is to give them a lover.

The tablet is small enough to fit in one hand, and at least half of it is missing. Upon closer inspection, Finkel found the fine drawing, which is barely visible to the naked eye, and he identified the ghost and woman. The image serves as a visual aid to the ritual, which would have been performed by an exorcist. 

The ritual instructs the reader to make figurines of a man and a woman, and equip them with specific items, including travel provisions for the man and furniture for the woman. The figurines are then to be buried together at sunrise while the exorcist recites a spell. The spell on the tablet is incomplete, but it begins by calling the sun god Shamash, who was responsible for the movement of ghosts to the underworld. 

"These characters suddenly walked out of a myth," Finkel said. "It was very exciting."

October 20, 2021 - More Strange Booms and 20 Nukes Turned Off by UFOs

From October 12th in Arizona to October 17th in Louisiana — citizens, law enforcement, and scientists are baffled by reports of strong house-shaking booms without any physical evidence. And the big military secret that UFOs have repeatedly turned off 10 Minuteman missiles at a time since the 1960s has military witnesses who think the public and Congress should know the truth.

Wild Pacific - The Beauty of Life

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

At 165,250,000 square kilometers (63,800,000 square miles) in area (as defined with an Antarctic southern border), this largest division of the World Ocean—and, in turn, the hydrosphere—covers about 46% of Earth's water surface and about 32% of its total surface area, making it larger than all of Earth's land area combined (148,000,000 square kilometers).

Somewhere in the Skies | The UFOs and Nukes Connection with Robert Salas (Former USAF Captain)

On episode 235 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan joins the Rogue Planet crew in a special panel discussion featuring former USAF Missile Launch Officer, Robert Salas. The panel was hosted by Best-Selling author and radio show host, Peter Robbins. The panel discusses Salas' involvement in the famous Maelstrom Air Force Base Nuclear Missile Incident. On March 24th, 1967, it is alleged that ten of the base's Minuteman ICBMs known as Oscar Flight became inoperative, after UFOs were seen hovering over them. Robert Salas was the Captain in charge at the time. He will also field questions from the panel in relation to his conference held at the National Press Club October 19th in Washington DC – The UFOs and Nukes Connection.

UFO hotspots ...



These Unknown Objects Are Zipping Through Our Skies

High speed disc-shaped UFO travelling over Mount Teide in Tenerife. Since the UFO/fastwalker passes the photographer at a reasonable distance, it is unlikely that the object is a bird flying close to the camera. Then, four cigar shaped independent objects flying in parallel over Bend, Oregon. Objects were not visible to the naked eye and a weird transparent shaped object hovering through the sky over Brooklyn, New York. It appeared to be a physical object that reflected the light of the sun only at certain angles when turning. Original source: www.mufon.com

Scientists Need Your Help in Identifying New Exoplanets Out in Space



You might be able to spot transit events like this


If you've always wanted to discover a planet for your very own, now's your chance. Researchers are calling on the public for help in identifying exoplanets – planets orbiting stars outside of our own Solar System.

The Planet Hunters Next-Generation Transit Search (NGTS), run by an international group of astronomers, has five years' worth of digital footage that needs sifting through. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spot stars that briefly dim, perhaps suggesting a planet is passing in front of them.

That's known as a transit by the experts, but you don't need any experience to get involved in trying to spot one. All you need is a keen eye and some patience to sift through the images collected by the NGTS telescopes based at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal Observatory in Chile.



One of the folded light curves you'll be looking for


"It is exciting to be able to involve the public in our search for planets around other stars," says astrophysicist Peter Wheatley from the University of Warwick in the UK and the lead of NGTS. "We are pretty sure our computer programs are missing some planets. These will be the most unusual signals and so probably some of the most interesting planets. Humans are still smarter than machines, and I can't wait to see what our volunteers unearth."

The Auto Mechanic Who Found a 4 Planet Solar System





From his quiet corner inside a steamy Darwin workshop Andrew Grey has repaired hundreds of cars, but his discovery of four previously unknown planets has changed his world forever.

He wasn't aware of the significance of his discovery until he was informed of it on live television.

Today the 26-year-old mechanic and self-confessed space nerd was popping in and out of the workshop to answer calls from interested journalists and scientists eager to speak with him about what he found. His boss has allowed him the time to appear on national television and speak to the media, as long as he makes some progress on the line of cars awaiting repair.

"To be published alongside people that went to university for years and years and for me, just a mechanic from Darwin, to have my name on it, I think it's pretty amazing," he said. "The nerd side of me is just ecstatic."
