    This story was linked on Steve Quayle's website today. I couldn't find an older article on the face.

    link
    Quote A reporter for a local newspaper got this footage from a drone. This Giant appeared after a collapse of part of a mountain.
    If it's not a petrified giant, it's a very old sculpture, perhaps antediluvian.
    I'm waiting for more news about this discovery. Will this discovery be covered up?

    The 5 Petals of Venus & Its 8 Year Cycle





    When plotted geocentrically – from an Earth-centered perspective – there is a highly noticeable rhythm in the motion of Venus. After eight years, it returns to the same place in our sky on about the same date. This is known as the eight-year cycle of Venus, and stems from the fact that 13 Venusian orbits (13 x 224.8 days) very nearly equals eight Earth years. As a matter of fact, the cycle was known to, and of great interest to, ancient peoples such as the Maya. Today, many know it as the pentagram or petals of Venus.

    The word pentagram – or five-sided figure – is because, over the eight years, each phenomenon – each relative position of Earth, Venus, and the sun – occurs five times. Then, over the next eight years, they repeat five times almost identically.


    The Five Petals Limerick

    There was a young gal from Australia
    Who went to a ball as a dahlia.
    When the petals unfurled
    It was known to the world
    That the dress – as a dress – was a failure.

    Peru Closes Machu Picchu Amid Anti-Government Protests

    More than 50 people have died as demonstrations escalate and police crack down on dissent





    In the wake of escalating political unrest, Peru has officially closed Machu Picchu, as well as the Inca Trail leading up to it, officials announced over the weekend. The country’s Culture Ministry said the move is meant “to protect the safety of tourists and the population in general.”

    More than 400 tourists were stranded at the historic site on Saturday after anti-government protesters damaged nearby railways. They were eventually evacuated via train to Cusco, according to a statement from the Tourism Ministry.

    The demonstrations began last month after former President Pedro Castillo was impeached and arrested for trying to dissolve Congress. His former vice president, Dina Boluarte, was sworn into office on December 7.





    Protesters are calling for new elections and Boluarte’s resignation. More than 55 people have died—and hundreds more have been arrested—in violent clashes between police and protesters.

    Real-Life 'Terminator 2' Robot Melts to Escape Jail, Solidifies on Command





    Scientists have created a tiny "Terminator 2"-like robot that can melt and resolidify itself on command, enabling it to perform difficult tasks and escape from confined spaces.

    To make the phase-shifting robot, scientists embedded microscopic chunks of magnetic neodymium, boron and iron into liquid gallium (a metal with a low melting point) and left it to solidify. And just like the spine-chilling T-1000 from "Terminator 2," the robot has shape-shifting abilities that make it an excellent escape artist. By using magnets to command their miniature creation to melt, the researchers recorded the robot transforming into an amorphous puddle to slither through the bars of a cage before miraculously reconstituting itself on the other side. The researchers published their findings Jan 25 in the journal Matter.

    The researchers see several potential medical and technological applications for their robot. So far, it has passed multiple tests: fixing circuits by entering tough-to-reach spots and then transforming itself into solder; melting into a screw socket and then solidifying to become a mechanical screw; and removing a foreign object from a model stomach.

    "Giving robots the ability to switch between liquid and solid states endows them with more functionality," lead author Chengfeng Pan, an engineer at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, said in the statement. "Now, we're pushing this material system in more practical ways to solve some very specific medical and engineering problems."

    SpaceX and Astronomers Come to Agreement on Reducing Starlink Astronomy Impact



    A Starlink satellite streaks across this image of the Andromeda galaxy from Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility


    With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, as with the Hubble Space Telescope before it, space-based astronomy gets a lot of attention, but ground-based observatories are the real workhorses of space science, and they have a really big problem: satellites. 

    Specifically, the problem is the various ways satellites can interfere with an observation, whether it be radio, optical, or infrared. To help mitigate these issues, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and SpaceX, operators of the fast-growing Starlink internet satellite network, have come to an agreement that they hope will reduce interference with astronomers in an increasingly crowded night sky, according to an NSF statement.

    SpaceX has begun working on redesigns for its second-generation Starlink satellites, including solar array mitigation, dielectric mirror film and a new kind of black paint for its satellites that it hopes will reduce brightness. The company also agreed to look at just how much of an effect the lasers that NSF facilities use to sharpen their instruments' vision actually affect the operation of a satellite. Observatories had been turning off their lasers whenever a Starlink satellite was nearby, but that won't be necessary any longer, according to the statement.

    SpaceX is addressing the concerns of radio astronomers as well as optical. The company has agreed to a number of coordination efforts since Starlink satellites use a radio band very close to that used for radio astronomy. In addition, the company has agreed to study the impact of Starlink terminals located near the Very Large Array in New Mexico and the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia.

    The Boogeyman Nebula by Joshua Carter





    2023 January 25 - LDN 1622: The Boogeyman Nebula





    "Boo! Its the Boogeyman! To some, the dark shape looks like a mythical boogeyman! Scientifically, Lynds' Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 appears against a faint background of glowing hydrogen gas only visible in long telescopic exposures of the region! In contrast, the brighter reflection nebula vdB 62 is more easily seen just above and to the right of center in the featured image! LDN 1622 lies near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, close on the sky to Barnard's Loop, a large cloud surrounding the rich complex of emission nebulae found in the Belt and Sword of Orion! With swept-back outlines, the obscuring dust of LDN 1622 is thought to lie at a similar distance, perhaps 1,500 light-years away! At that distance, this 2-degree wide field of view would span about 60 light-years! Young stars do lie hidden within the dark expanse and have been revealed in Spitzer Space Telescope infrared images! Have a great day everyone, and I'll see you in class!"

    Bull’s balls are, I believe, more properly known as prairie oysters. More cattle on the prairie than in the mountains.

    I’ve never had them, only read about them in cowboy stories, but I always thought that they were eaten fresh and raw, right after bulls were made into steers.

    A couple missed entrees: hallucinogenic honey, from ~Nepal, and giant hallucinogenic centipedes, from wherever those trippin’ monkeys are from.

    Heads Up - The Night Sky

    January 30 and 31: The Moon Nears, Covers Mars



    Fresh from the lunar occultation of Mars in December 2022, the pair will do it again on January 30, 2023. As seen from North America, Mars will lie off the waxing gibbous moon’s dark limb that evening. As the night proceeds, the moon will move closer to Mars, covering it as viewed from locations in the southern U.S. and extending farther south.




    The waxing gibbous moon slides by Mars on the nights of January 30 and 31, 2023, then sets a few hours before sunrise. Another red object near Mars is the fiery red star Aldebaran, the Eye of Taurus the Bull.

    Fascinating Facts About Starfish

    Starfish are brilliantly colored creatures that inhabit oceanic habitats. There are approximately 2,000 species of starfish, all unique in shape, size, and color—from blue and purple to pink and orange. Starfish can only live in saltwater, so you won't be finding them in freshwater environments. They also can't survive out of water for more than a few minutes.





    Starfish Are Not Actual Fish - Like sand dollars and sea urchins, starfish do not have backbones, which means they’re invertebrates.





    Not All Starfish Are Star-Shaped - The crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci), for example, is reported to have up to 21 arms. Likewise, sunstars—starfish aptly named for their resemblance to the sun—have about 12 arms.





    They Can Regenerate Lost Limbs - Starfish have the ability to regenerate lost limbs in cases of injury—for example, if they are hit by a rock from crashing tides. In fact, starfish are able to regrow an entire body from just one arm and at least one-fifth of their central disk.

    They Don't Have Any Blood - Rather than blood coursing through their veins, starfish have a water vascular system—canals that pump seawater throughout the starfish’s body.

    Starfish Are Carnivores - These innocent-looking creatures don’t just feast on algae and plants. Starfish are known to feed on creatures like injured fish, oysters, mussels, clams, and sand dollars.





    Starfish Digest Outside Their Bodies - Once they have opened their food, they extend their stomach outside of their mouth and envelop their prey with their stomach.
