The Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Acidified The Ocean In A Flash

Published 21st October 2019



What happened to the dinosaurs when an asteroid about six miles wide struck Earth some 66 million years ago in what is today Mexico is well known: It wiped them out. But the exact fate of our planet’s diverse ocean dwellers at the time — shelly ammonites, giant mosasaurs and other sea creatures — has not been as well understood.

New research now makes the case that the same incident that helped bring an end to the reign of the dinosaurs also acidified the planet’s oceans, disrupted the food chain that sustained life underwater and resulted in a mass extinction. The study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, aims to shore up the hypothesis that the Chicxulub event’s destruction of marine life — the result of sulfur-rich rocks depositing acid rain into the oceans — was just as severe as the fire and fury it brought to land.

The Power Of Space Impacts

Published 21st October 2019

Since the beginning of spaceflight, over 9,000 satellites have been launched into orbit. Along with every satellite, there is around 100,000 tonnes of space debris, most of which is too small for us to track. This video looks at the powerful physics behind space collisions and the different methods that are used to shield the International Space Station.

Modern Planet Protection Rules Recommended & Welcomed

Published 22nd October 2019



“Our guidelines on how we protect the places we’re going from contamination and how we protect our own planet on the way back are in urgent need of updating,” Thomas Zurbuchen, the head of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, told reporters at an 18 October press conference. Those guidelines for planetary protection must be updated, streamlined, and uniformly implemented across the agency and the private sector, according to a new report.

NASA convened the Planetary Protection Independent Review Board (PPIRB) earlier this year to address concerns about its planetary protection guidelines. Past reviews found that the protocols are based on Apollo era science and technology, are unevenly applied to exploration missions, can be a significant burden to low-budget missions, and fail to address the private sector of the spaceflight industry.

The PPIRB’s 18 October report “really addresses both our changing knowledge of other worlds in our solar system and the changing landscape of space exploration itself,” said Lucianne Walkowicz, an astronomer at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago who was not involved with the report. “This report is a great first step in reassessing what we think we know, so we determine a better path forward.”

Emily Levesque | Red Supergiants: New Perspectives On Dying Stars

Published 22nd October 2019

Red supergiants (RSGs) are the helium-fusing descendants of moderately massive (10-25Mo) stars. As the coldest and largest (in physical size) members of the massive star population, these evolved stars serve as ideal "magnifying glasses" for scrutinizing our current understanding of massive stars and their role as supernova progenitors. RSGs are the observationally-confirmed progenitors of Type II-P, an intermediate evolutionary phase in the lifetimes of some stripped-envelope SN progenitors, and a crucial step in the formation and population statistics of massive interacting binaries (including those that will ultimately produce compact object binaries and gravitational waves). This talk will provide an overview of our field's current knowledge of RSGs, identify some of the most pressing open questions about these stars and their role as supernova progenitors, and consider the importance of RSGs in the coming decade as the next generation of observatories comes online.

Revealing The Beauty Of The Hidden Universe: eROSITA Sees First Light

Published 22nd October 2019



On 22 October 2019, the beautiful first X-ray images of the eROSITA telescope were presented to the public at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Garching. After an extended commissioning phase, since October 13 all seven X-ray telescope modules with their custom-designed CCD cameras have been observing the sky simultaneously. The first combined X-ray images of our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and a pair of interacting clusters of galaxies at a distance of about 800 Million lightyears, show remarkable details and demonstrate the promise of the ambitious science programme planned with the space-borne telescope.

Is Humanity Prepared To Discover Alien Life?

Streamed & Published 22nd October 2019

People always ask me how I think humanity will react if we discover life somewhere out there in the Universe, whether it’s bacteria under the surface of Mars, a biosignature of alien life in the atmosphere of another world, or a radio signal from another civilization.

Will our civilization lose its collective mind and have a temper tantrum on a global scale? Will we become one of those purge planets from Rick and Morty?

Will the discovery suddenly end all religion, as we wait for guidance from our new alien overlords?

Will we gather together as a species to present a common front to whatever cosmic horrors await us beyond the Solar System?

In my opinion, if I could sum up the collective response in a single word, it would be: meh.

Podcast UFO



Dr Elring Strand - Hessdalen Lights | Dr Seth Shostak - SETI & Big Picture Science

Streamed & Published 22nd October 2019

Alejandro Rojas with UFO Updates then guest Erling Strand who just returned from Hessdalen Valley, Erling discusses the mysterious ongoing unknown atmospheric phenomena being researched through Project Hessdalen known as the Hessdalen Lights, UFODATA and more. HOUR TWO (Live): Dr Seth Shostak discussing SETI, his popular podcast, Big Picture Science and his thoughts on UFOs since the US government has been taking them more seriously.

ERLING P. STRAND: received a M.SC.EE. degree in 1981 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Since 1988 he has been a lecturer and is an Asst. Professor at the School of Computer Sciences, Østfold University College, in Norway. He is also one of the founders of Project Hessdalen and, since 1993, the project manager. The main goal of the Project is to learn more about the mysterious lights in the Hessdalen valley in Norway.

His work with UAP (Unknown Atmospheric Phenomena) in Hessdalen started in 1983, when Project Hessdalen was founded. He had the responsibility of the scientific and technical part of the two field studies, which were run in 1984 and 1985. He is the author of the report from the first field project in 1984: Project Hessdalen 1984 Ð Final Technical Report. In 1988 a fully automatic measurement station was put in operation in the Hessdalen valley. Since 2002 Science Camps have been held there, where young students spend one week in the valley, searching for UAP, equipped with a range of instruments.

He has presented the results and work of Project Hessdalen in numerous TV and radio programs worldwide, and he has also lectured widely about the project and its findings. Project Hessdalen website: www.hessdalen.org

SETH SHOSTAK: claims to have developed an interest in extraterrestrial life at the tender age of ten, when he first picked up a book about the Solar System. This innocent beginning eventually led to a degree in radio astronomy, and now, as Senior Astronomer, Seth is an enthusiastic participant in the Institute’s SETI observing programs.

In addition, Seth is keen on outreach activities: interesting the public – and especially young people – in science in general, and astrobiology in particular. He’s co-authored a college textbook on astrobiology, and has written three trade books on SETI. In addition, he’s published more than 400 popular articles on science including regular contributions to NBC News MACH, gives many dozens of talks annually, and is the host of the SETI Institute’s weekly science radio show, “Big Picture Science.” http://radio.seti.org/

Here Comes The Judge: Whistleblower To Expose CIA “UFO Disinfo” Scientist, Congressman In Court

Published 22nd October 2019



Former CIA Deputy Director Ron Pandolfi, former U.S. Congressman Dan Marriott of the world famous Marriott Hotel chain, both could testify in California Superior Court in a trial for participating in a “technoscam” involving UFOs and a phony “anti-gravity”device that bilked investors.

While whistleblowers are dominating news headlines, more are coming. This time, it isn’t only American President Donald Trump who is worried. Instead, it’s arguably a former CIA Deputy Director and apparent associate, Congressman Daniel Marriott of the world famous Marriott Hotel chain. Soon, both he and the CIA’s Ron Pandolfi might have to ‘explain’ to a California Superior Court Judge and jury under oath and penalty of perjury, their roles in a fraudulent scheme involving, you can’t make this up, UFOs and an alleged “anti-gravity” device that never existed. Millions of dollars are involved, investors have been bilked out of their money, salaries legally owed as per contract remain unpaid.

Intelligent Disclosure | Early Tic Tac UFOs?

Streamed & Published 1st October 2019

The story of the Tic Tac UFO of November 2004 is now very well known, and deservedly so. But there is a history of inexplicable objects easily outperforming U.S. military interceptors. Richard and Tracey discuss two forgotten cases from early years: Fukuoka, Japan (1948) and Rapid City, South Dakota (1953). Like the Tic Tac encounter, these were well-observed and recorded incidents of encounters with objects that should not have existed.

Intelligent Disclosure | (More) Early Tic Tac UFOs!

Streamed & Published 22nd October 2019

We constantly forget our history. In the case of UFOs, despite all the attention that the now famous Tic Tac UFO of 2004 has gotten, the fact is there are many cases of very similar types of performance from objects going back many years. They have been reliably witnessed and reported, often by U.S. military personnel. Some of these objects have been tracked at traveling at speeds in excess of 10,000 mph. Richard and Tracey present two compelling cases from the past, both from 1952, that deserve our attention as a reminder that incredible UFO encounters have been going on for a long time. How can we explain such cases?
