    UFOs & “Aliens” Over Kapustin Yar: Russia’s Mysteries

    Published 19th March 2018

    What is Kapustin Yar? There are rumors of secret underground facilities by Kapustin Yar, where UFOs and “aliens” are kept by the Russian government. Well...after the WWII, Soviet missile development program gave impetus to the creation of the Kapustin Yar test range. The 1946 decree, officially establishing the rocket industry in the country, directed the Ministry of Armed Forces to propose the location for the Central Test Range for all jet-propelled weapons. The major factors which favored Kapustin Yar over other locations were the access by railroad, relative proximity to industrial infrastructure of the city of Stalingrad (Volgograd) on the Volga River and land availability for the construction of the range. The future range designated the 4th State Central Range (4th GTsP) centered is located at 48.4 degrees Northern latitude and 56.5 degrees Eastern longitude. And UFOs have been sighted there ever since…

    The Dark Galaxy Dragonfly 44 : A Galaxy Almost Entirely Dark Matter

    Published 19th March 2018

    Even though it is relatively nearby at 300 million light years from Earth, the galaxy, named Dragonfly 44, had been missed by astronomers for decades because it is very dim. The discovery of this dim object heralds in a new class of galaxies that have become known as ‘dark galaxies’ or ‘ultra diffuse galaxies’ because they contain relatively few stars, yet have a mass equal to our own Milky Way with hundreds of billions of stars.

    It was only discovered recently, in 2015, when the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, then a small collection of 24 commercially available 400mm telephoto lenses, looked towards a region of sky in the constellation Coma.

    But as astronomers looked closer using larger telescopes with specialized instruments, they realized this dim, tiny galaxy was more than meets the eye - literally. It contained so few stars. There were so few stars in this galaxy that there was no way they could all stay together as a gravitationally bound object - they would simply fly apart.

    So what was keeping the stars in Dragonfly 44 together?

    Astronomers had pretty good idea: dark matter.

    Rare Stellar Encounter Will Trigger Space Fireworks In 2018, Says NASA

    Published 20th March 2018

    This is the longest-period binary system containing a radio pulsar. A pulsar, known as J2032. When astronomers started watching it, they had no idea how dynamic was. They still don't know what it's capable of.
    This pulsar has been accelerating for the last ten years, and it's still speeding up.

    When it passes through the companion star's disk, we're gonna see some serious gamma-ray emission.
    The pulsar, known as J2032 is the crushed core of a massive star that exploded as a supernova.
    It is a magnetized ball about 12 miles across, or about the size of Washington, weighing almost twice the sun's mass and spinning seven times a second.

    The massive star tugging on the pulsar is named MT91 213. Classified as a Be star, the companion is 15 times the mass of the sun and shines 10,000 times brighter.
    Be stars drive strong outflows, called stellar winds, and are embedded in large disks of gas and dust.

    Astronomers are expecting high-energy explosions when pulsar J2032 swings around its massive companion star in early 2018. The pulsar will plunge through a disk of gas and dust surrounding the star, triggering cosmic fireworks.

    Several features combine to make this an exceptional binary. Out of six similar systems where the massive star uses hydrogen as its central energy source, J2032's has the greatest combined mass, the longest orbital period, and, at a distance of about 5,000 light-years, is closest to Earth.

    Astronomers think the supernova explosion that created the pulsar also kicked it into its eccentric orbit, nearly tearing the binary apart in the process.
    A study of the system led by Lyne and including Ray and Stappers was published June 16 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

    On This Day In Space | 20th March 1987 | NASA Launches Palapa B2P Satellite For Indonesia

    Published 20th March 2018

    On March 20, 1987, NASA launched an Indonesian communications satellite called Palapa B2-P. It would later become the first satellite owned by the Philippines. Almost 10 years after the satellite launched into orbit, Pasifik Satelit Nusantara — the Indonesian company that owned it — sold it to the Mabuhay Satellite Corporation in the Philippines. The country had been trying to establish its own satellite network for decades. They finally bought the Palapa satellite when President Fidel Ramos said he wanted one in time for an international forum that the country was hosting later that year. The president got his way, and the country's first satellite was moved into its new orbit with three months to spare. Mabuhay changed the satellite's name from Palapa to Agila, which means "eagle" in Filipino.

    Mathisen Corollary

    Equinox Planetarium

    Published 20th March 2018

    "Time-lapse" animation of the sun's position from the perspective of a viewer on earth in the northern hemisphere, seen at noon each day of the year as earth orbits the sun. The background of stars "behind the sun" will change as a function of earth's movement around the sun on its orbital path.

    The sun's elevation relative to the celestial equator at noon each day will grow higher and higher after we pass the point of winter solstice (lowest point) and progress towards the point of summer solstice (highest point). The sun's elevation at noon relative to the celestial equator will grow progressively lower after we pass through the point of summer solstice and head back "down" to the winter solstice. This elevation change is a function of the fact that earth's axis is tilted (oblique) to the plane of the orbit around the sun (the ecliptic plane) -- also known as the obliquity of the axis or the "axial tilt."

    The point of equinox occurs when the sun's path crosses through the celestial equator (ninety degrees down from the north celestial pole, and ninety degrees up from the south celestial pole). This will take place twice a year, once on the way down from summer solstice to winter solstice (the fall equinox) and once again on the way back up from winter solstice towards summer solstice.

    This short video may help you to visualize and understand what is taking place. You can see all the way down to the south celestial pole, because the earth has been made "transparent" or invisible, even though the perspective shown is still that of someone standing in the northern hemisphere. The sun at noon each day moves through the background constellations of the zodiac (because as we orbit the sun, the "line of sight" from earth to sun and beyond will point in a different direction as earth continues along its orbit throughout the year). Because of the axial tilt, the elevation of the sun at noon will grow higher in the summer and lower in the winter. The sun will cross the celestial equator (the "zero-degree line" of declination) at the two equinoxes, once on the way "up" and once on the way back "down."

    President Nixon Hid Evidence of Alien Life in White House Time Capsule!

    Published 20th March 2018

    In this special update former Federal Informant and Covert Operator Robert Merritt who was a member of the Nixon Administration’s ultra secret Huston Plan reveals even more about his meeting deep beneath the White House where President Nixon revealed he was going to hide a Time Capsule Message containing UFO Disclosure and an ET Energy Formula that would Change the World!

    The Kissinger Connection: UFO Crash Retrieval
    New research has uncovered that Nixon's Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was in charge of a program at Kirtland AFB that was part of the Rockefeller Special Studies Project to Re-engineer UFO Crash Retrievals.

    THREE MEETINGS THAT CHANGE HISTORY!
    In this historic Dark Journalist Interview Series, Former Federal Informant and Nixon Insider Robert Merritt steps forward for the first time ever in public reveals his Three Meetings with President Richard Nixon in a Deep Underground Location Beneath The White House!

    NIXON HID TIME CAPSULE WITH TOP SECRET INFORMATION IN THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER WATERGATE BREAK IN!
    President Nixon revealed to Merritt a Special Message that Nixon Read to him aloud before sealing it in the White House for later generations to learn the Truth. The letter contained information that the United States had obtained and had under its protection an ET Being. Scientists at Los Alamos eventually learned to communicate with the Being and developed vast knowledge from this interaction which helped them to achieve Advanced Technology and Science.

    NIXON TOLD MERRITT TO DELIVER A COPY TO HENRY KISSINGER
    In a late night meeting deep beneath the White House President Nixon taped a package containing the letter to Merritt's stomach and asked him to act act as a covert messenger to deliver to National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. Nixon told Merritt that only he and Kissinger knew of the letter's existence and it should not fall into the hands of the FBI or the CIA.

    Nixon developed a great trust with Merritt who he had assigned as an undercover operative to the Ultra Secret Huston Plan Program, a Covert Intelligence Unit run right out of the White House to perform Black Ops and Surveillance against Nixon's Political enemies. During his long history of Clandestine work for Intelligence Agencies Merritt was developed as a Covert Agent and a Sex Operative to get compromising material for Control Files to Blackmail Senators and Congressmen. Merritt had been used by the CIA, FBI and the ATF as an Deep Undercover Informant and found himself under the spotlight during the Watergate Hearings and was later featured in the New York Times. Eventually Merritt was forced to go underground and to keep silent in order to stay alive.

    On This Day In Space | 21st March 1965 | NASA Launches Ranger 9

    Published 21st March 2018

    On March 21, 1965, NASA launched the Ranger 9 spacecraft on a mission to crash into a lunar crater. Ranger 9 was the last flight of NASA's Ranger Program. The spacecraft would study the crater Alphonsus by crashing directly into it and taking pictures along the way. After launching on an Atlas-Agena rocket, Ranger 9 spent nearly three days making its way over to the moon. During the last 20 minutes of its flight, it took around 6,000 high-quality images of the moon. It then plowed into the Alphonsus crater at a speed of nearly 9,000 miles per hour. Images and videos from Ranger 9's descent were broadcast on live television to millions of viewers in the United States.

    A Star Grazed Our Solar System 70,000 Years Ago & Early Humans Likely Saw It

    Published 21st March 2018



    Some distant objects in our solar system bear the gravitational imprint of a small star's close flyby 70,000 years ago, when modern humans were already walking the Earth, a new study suggests.

    In 2015, a team of researchers announced that a red dwarf called Scholz's star apparently grazed the solar system 70,000 years ago, coming closer than 1 light-year to the sun. For perspective, the sun's nearest stellar neighbor these days, Proxima Centauri, lies about 4.2 light-years away. The astronomers came to this conclusion by measuring the motion and velocity of Scholz's star — which zooms through space with a smaller companion, a brown dwarf or "failed star" — and extrapolating backward in time.

    China’s 8 Ton Toxic Satellite Tiangong-1 Is About To Crash Earth

    Published 21st March 2018

    China's uncontrolled toxic satellite Tiangong-1 is likely to hit Earth between March 24 and April 19
    China space station Tiangyong 1 falling freely on Earth.
    The falling of old space junk is nothing new. Most of this junk includes controlled unmanned spacecraft which safely lands in the parts where it cannot harm human life or environment. But an out of control satellite carrying toxic fuels falling on Earth is as scary as it can get.

    Since the confirmation of falling of uncontrolled toxic Chinese space station, Tiangong-1, scientists had been speculating the time it reaches the Earth's surface and they theorized the time, impact and location of its fall.

    The US-funded Aerospace Corporation estimates Tiangong-1 will re-enter the atmosphere during the first week of April. The European Space Agency says the module will come down between March 24 and April 19, a Guardian report said.
