Multiwavelength Image Of The 'Toothbrush' Galaxy Cluster

Published 27th December 2017



Most galaxies lie in clusters containing from a few to thousands of objects. Our Milky Way, for example, belongs to a cluster of about fifty galaxies called the Local Group whose other large member is the Andromeda galaxy about 2.3 million light-years away. Clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound objects in the universe and form (according to current ideas) in a "bottoms-up" fashion with smaller structures developing first and larger groupings assembling later in cosmic history. Dark matter plays an important role in this growth process.

Watch Purple Lasers Light Up NASA's Parker Solar Probe In Test

Published 27th December 2017



Aimed at the spacecraft's solar array, the purple lasers helped researchers verify that the 44 strings of solar cells on each panel are still electrically connected, following vibration and acoustic testing conducted earlier this fall, according to a statement from NASA. The vigorous noise and shaking helped simulate launch conditions that the probe will undergo when it takes off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on July 31, 2018.

Kathleen Marden & Stanton Friedman Weighs In On Pentagon's Secret UFO Search

Published 27th December 2017

Stan Friedman with Kathleen Marden will weigh in on the Pentagon's Secret UFO Search, including the latest updates. In hour two, they will discuss the Betty & Barney Hill case.

Bio: Nuclear Physicist-Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman received his BSc. and MSc. Degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas working in such highly advanced, classified, eventually cancelled programs as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and various compact nuclear powerplants for space and terrestrial applications.

He became interested in UFOs in 1958, and since 1967 has lectured about them at more than 600 colleges and 100 professional groups in 50 U.S. states, 10 Canadian provinces and 18 other countries in addition to various nuclear consulting efforts. He has published more than 90 UFO papers and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 2007 and twice in 2008, and many documentaries. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident. And more, source: http://www.stantonfriedman.com/index....

Bio: Kathleen Marden is a leading researcher of contact with nonhuman intelligence, an author, and lecturer. Her educational background in the social sciences has shaped her interest in scientific ufology. Extensive research and investigation into alien abduction has convinced her that some abductions are real.

She earned a B.A. degree in social work from the University of New Hampshire and participated in graduate studies in education while working as a teacher and education services coordinator. Her scholarship led to acceptance into the Alpha Kappa Delta sociology honor society. During her fifteen years as an educator, she innovated, designed and implemented model educational programs. She also held a supervisory position, coordinating, training and evaluating education staff.

Her interest in UFOs dates back to September 20, 1961, when her aunt, Betty Hill, phoned her childhood home to report that she and Barney had encountered a flying saucer in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. A primary witness to the evidence of the UFO encounter and the aftermath, Kathleen has intimate knowledge of the Hill’s biographical histories, investigation files, and scientific interest in their sensational experience. This led to a journey of exploration, leaving no stone unturned, to find answers through scholarly work, investigation and social research. She is recognized as the world’s leading expert on the Betty and Barney Hill abduction.

Capel Green | Rendlesham Forest Incident Documentary

Published 28th December 2017

On the 37th anniversary of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, Indigo Transmit Films are proud to release the latest, extended trailer for a new feature length documentary due for release in 2018.

Capel Green is a feature length documentary film concentrating on the life of Larry Warren, original witness and whistle-blower in the famous Rendlesham Forest Incident.

An insightful story about what took place in the early hours of December 28th 1980 in a farmer's field on the edge of the forest where even stranger things occurred. Described as "Britain's Roswell", the mysterious lights and events witnessed by many US Air Force personnel spanned three evenings; the Capel Green incident on the third night of activity was by far the most intriguing.

Reopening a cold case, the film follows Larry's life and presents new evidence and previously unseen original documents. The film talks to the many witnesses involved, takes time to analyse the facts, documents and evidence, and questions why these incidents did not follow the standard investigation procedures by authorities.

How Scientists Are Expanding The Spectrum For SETI And The Search For Alien Life

Published 29th December 2017



Twenty years after the movie “Contact” brought the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, to the big screen, it’s dawning on astronomers that the real-world plotline might turn out to be totally different 20 years from now.

So far, SETI has been dominated by radio telescope surveys looking for anomalous patterns that may point to alien transmissions. But SETI’s practitioners are realizing that E.T. may make its presence known in other ways.

Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 Might Have A Small Moon

Published 29th December 2017



The upcoming encounter of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft with 2014 MU69 will be an important and rare opportunity for close-up study of a Kuiper Belt object. The New Horizons team was already excited to learn earlier this year that 2014 MU69 might be either peanut-shaped or even a binary. Now new data hints that this object might have a tiny moon.

Exoplanet With Deadly Wind Speeds

Published 29th December 2017



In the wake of recent category four and five hurricanes in the United States, it’s easy to see the massive destruction that weather can bring on planet Earth. These storms had winds that reached up to 183mph. At that speed, these storms were able to destroy a large number of homes and businesses, flood entire cities, and turn people’s lives upside down. Nature is truly an awesome force here on Earth, however, when we examine other planets we find that Mother Nature has really kept the kid gloves on. Sixty-three light years away there is a planet that has storm and wind speeds that make anything on Earth look tame.
