    September Sunrise Shadows by Donato Lioce


    https://apod.nasa.gov

    The defining astronomical moment for this September's equinox was on Friday, September 23, 2022 at 01:03 UTC, when the Sun crossed the celestial equator moving south in its yearly journey through planet Earth's sky. That marked the beginning of fall for our fair planet in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere, when day and night are nearly equal around the globe. Of course, if you celebrate the astronomical change of seasons by watching a sunrise you can also look for crepuscular rays. The shadows cast by clouds can have a dramatic appearance in the twilight sky during any sunrise or sunset. Due to perspective, the parallel shadows will seem to point back to the rising Sun and a place due east on your horizon near the equinox date. Taken on September 15, this sunrise sea and skyscape captured crepuscular rays in the sky and watery specular reflections from the Mediterranean coast near the village of Petacciato, Italy.

    Two Silver UFO Spheres Over Horton Kirby, UK 9 July 2022

    Quote Eyewitness:

    Sitting in my garden I noticed off to my left 2 objects flying parallel to each other, at first I took it to be 2 herons then noticed them to be metallic spheres, thinking they maybe baloons I checked the wind direction which was at a constant moderate breeze in the direction of N to SW these objects however were travelling in a direction of W to E approximately which meant they were cutting across the wind at approx a 45 degrees angle. They elevated to just under the clouds and then disappeared. I was unable to see them on the phone screen (Samsung S21+) so just pointed and shot in the general direction in an attempt to capture some footage so not the best I’m afraid but you can clearly see in the attached video the objects.

    The Beez Have It

    Swarm of Bees Inhabits Goal Post in Packers-Buccaneers Game





    TAMPA, Fla. -- A hive of hundreds of honey bees colonized one of the goal posts at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa early in Sunday's Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Green Bay Packers game.

    The bees gathered underneath the goal post in the north end zone, which was shown on the Fox television broadcast. The hive did not impact play, as the Packers scored in that end zone on their opening drive. Although the buzzers were still there after the game, it is unclear whether players were even aware of the bees, who have mysteriously chosen the goal post as their new home.

    Florida is home to more than 300 species of bees, including 29 that are found nowhere else in the world.

    Physicists Prove You Can Make Something Out of Nothing

    Simulating Cosmic Physics





    A team of physicists says they have proven a 70-year-old quantum theory where something can be created out of nothing.

    An experiment designed to study the flow of “low valence” electrons accidentally succeeded in producing an analog of particle-antiparticle pairs where nothing had previously existed, using only an electric field and the nearly magical properties of the 2-D material graphene. The experiment was performed in January by a research team working at the University of Manchester.

    Previous theories held that such a process could only take place in ultra-high energy environments like the vicinity of a black hole or the center of a neutron star. However, the latest breakthrough was performed using standard lab equipment.

    Schwinger Effect Theorized Years Ago

    In physics, there are situations where individual particles can be manipulated to create additional particles seemingly from nothing. For example, if you take a quantum particle known as a meson and try to rip away its quark, a brand new set of particle-antiparticle pairs will emerge between them from the nothingness of empty space. Still, this situation involves starting with something–a meson–and creating more ‘somethings’ from it.

    But back in 1951, Julian Schwinger, one of the founders of quantum electrodynamics and a 1964 Nobel Prize-winning physicist, suggested that creating matter from empty space should be possible, even if there is nothing there to begin with, as long as you perturb that empty space with a strong enough electric field. Since then, this completely theoretical concept has been known simply as the Schwinger effect. Now, a team of researchers has shown this effect is real by essentially creating something out of pure nothingness ...

    What's in the sky tonight?

    Jupiter Will Be Closest to Earth In 59 years





    Jupiter will be directly opposite the sun as seen from Earth on Monday (Sept. 26), allowing skywatchers to see the solar system's largest planet in incredible detail during an event known as opposition.

    During the opposition Jupiter, Earth, and the Sun are aligned in such a way that both planets are on the same side of the star with Earth sitting between these two massive bodies. As the gas giant reaches opposition while rising from the east at the same time the Sun sets in the west, it will also be at its closest approach to Earth ,  known as perigee. This closest approach will bring Jupiter to around 367 million miles from Earth, the gas giant's closest to our planet since 1963.

    Space News Roundup

    DRAMATIC GROUND-BASED IMAGES OF ASTEROID STRIKE

    Yesterday, NASA's DART spacecraft hit asteroid Dimorphos--an incredible, dramatic bullseye 11 million kilometers from Earth. Surprising even NASA, ground-based telescopes had no trouble seeing the impact. Astronomers with the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Hawaii recorded a bright cloud of debris:


    https://www.spaceweather.com/

    This was the result of the 1,340-pound spacecraft plunging into Dimorphos at 14,000 mph. Most of the debris is probably asteroid dust, but some of DART may be in there, too. A similar video was recorded by the 1-meter Lesedi telescope in South Africa.

    Mission scientists say DART hit the asteroid less than 17 meters off center. Think about that: 17 meters off at a distance of 11 million kilometers.

    Now that the dust has cleared, astronomers are monitoring Dimorphos's orbit to find out whether or not it has changed in response to the strike. Even a slight shift would prove that human tech can alter an asteroid's trajectory--a possible strategy for future Planetary Defense.

    The logo of the National Intelligence Manager-Aviation shows a series of aircraft, as well as a UFO. 

    It’s not clear when the logo was created or updated, or by who, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine shows a different logo as recently as June.

    I wonder if the placement of that UFO has anything to do with the Galapagos Islands. Darwin was only there for five weeks. Maybe he was abudcted and the idea for On the Origin of Species was planted in him or he was chipped. Aborigines anagrams to Base Origin. It's an interesting anagram because the six-letter core is Origin and the first & last two spell Base.

    1: a member of the original people to inhabit an area especially as contrasted with an invading or colonizing people

    2: often capitalized : a member of any of the indigenous peoples of Australia

    The Cheaper Your Pleasures, The Richer You’ll Be | Minimalist Philosophy

    How can we be satisfied without cost? How can we be wealthy with only the bare minimum? Several philosophers of the past shed their light on questions like these. And, according to some, the cheaper your pleasures, the richer you'll be. This video explores different views on wealth, desire, pleasure, and how being ‘rich’ can be pretty cheap.
