X-Rays From A Newborn Star Hint At Our Sun's Earliest Days

Published 18th June 2020

Astronomers have announced the first detection of X-rays from the earliest phase of evolution of a star like our Sun.

The X-ray flare was seen from the "protostar" called HOPS 383, which is located about 1,400 light years from Earth.

Scientists discovered the flare in data of HOPS 383 captured by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in December 2017.

The flare was 2,000 times brighter in X-rays than what we currently see from our middle-aged Sun.

This result may reset the timeline for when astronomers think Sun-like stars start blasting X-rays into space.

It may also help explain the unusual chemical composition of certain meteorites and other mysteries involving the present-day Sun and Solar System.

Astronomers have reported the first detection of X-rays from the earliest phase of evolution of a star like our Sun. This discovery, made using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, may help answer some questions about the Sun and the Solar System as they are today.

The X-rays came from a flare emitted by an object called HOPS 383, located about 1,400 light years from Earth in the star-forming region of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. Astronomers refer to HOPS 383 as a young "protostar" because it is in the earliest phase of stellar evolution that occurs right after a large cloud of gas and dust has started to collapse. Once it has matured HOPS 383 will have a mass about half that of the Sun.

This result is significant because it resets the timeline for when astronomers think Sun-like stars start blasting X-rays into space. While scientists know that young stars are much more active in X-rays than older ones, they have debated just when X-ray emission begins.

Chandra observations in December 2017 revealed the X-ray flare in HOPS 383, which lasted for about 3 hours and 20 minutes. Astronomers didn't see any other X-rays from HOPS 383 during this observing time, meaning that the flare at its maximum was at least ten times brighter than the usual X-ray output from the protostar.

This kind of information helps astronomers determine what effects X-rays from a very young star like our Sun might on the objects that form around it. For example, such high-energy outbursts in our infant Sun may explain the unusual chemical composition that scientists have found in some meteorites.

Astronomers will need longer X-ray observations to learn more about flares during this very early phase of development for stars like our Sun. They will use Chandra and other telescopes to examine just how common are X-ray flares from the youngest protostars and how much of an influence they have on the development of solar systems here and beyond.

Global Alert News | Episode 254



Published 20th June 2020

Only six months ago, none would have believed that we would find ourselves in a face mask wearing society today. Initially US agencies like the CDC said wearing face masks would not protect from CV -19. The surgeon general said the same. Other medical experts have cited serious health problems that can result from extended face mask use. Now the CDC says wearing a mask is essential. What changed? Is protecting public health really the goal? Or are other agendas in play? While populations are understandably burdened with the increasing day to day difficulties that covid-19 has brought on, what wider horizon challenges are looming? Could these background challenges very soon make other concerns mute?

The Wilson Leak: An Analysis & Working Theory

Published 19th June 2020

It consists of just 15 pages… but the implications are astounding.

The Admiral Wilson papers chronicle a secret meeting in Las Vegas, where deep dark alien secrets were revealed.

The leaked documents are named after the one who allegedly spilled SOME of the secrets… Admiral Thomas Wilson. He was a highly decorated Navy officer who also served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for three years ending in 2002.

As with any leaked record within the UFO community, it comes with controversy. Although some herald the leak as the greatest secret to be revealed in the last century; others consider it a well-thought out hoax which involves names of controversial UFO figures.

Who is right? What does Admiral Wilson himself say?

It's one of the rarest types of UFO encounters: cases in which people are given alien artifacts by the ETs. There are a surprising number of cases coming from across the planet. Crystals, metal bars, food, medicine, books, mechanical devices...all have been given to abductees by alien beings. What happens when somebody is given an actual alien artifact? The results may surprise you.

This video presents nearly a dozen cases in which people were given alien artifacts. For those who'd like to learn more, chapter five of my book, "Not from Here: Volume Three" presents these cases in detail, and is now available on here.

Radiation Might Be The Key Ingredient For Extraterrestrial Life

Published 23rd June 2020

New research reveals that massive amounts of radioactive material might actually be essential for life outside our solar system.

Huge amounts of radioactive material might not be so bad for life, after all. In fact, new research suggests that it might be exactly what some planets need to host life.

Here on Earth, water facilitates all of the chemical reactions of life.

When searching for other life out in the universe, it’s long been thought that the absolute most important thing a planet needs is, well, something like water.

That means that we’ve also been looking for a planet that’s located within the ‘habitable zone’ of its star — meaning that it's not too close to fry in the heat of that star and have all its water sizzle off, and not so far that it’s left out in the cold with only frozen water. But new research turns this entire idea on its head.

A team used modeling to find that at a certain size and with a high enough level of radioactive decay, a planet might not need a star to make it habitable, after all. Maybe all a planet needs is an abundant supply of radionuclides to keep itself warm.

Radionuclides are isotopes, or different types of familiar-sounding elements like uranium, that are radioactive.

Life Beyond the Habitable Zone
https://aasnova.org/2020/03/02/life-...abitable-zone/
[W]e already know that habitable zones don’t tell the whole story. Plenty of planets that lie within their stars’ habitable zones aren’t livable — perhaps because they’re inhospitable gas giants, or because they have the wrong type of atmosphere, or because they’re routinely blasted by energetic stellar flares from their host.
Could the opposite be true as well, however? Could planets outside of a star’s habitable zone be capable of supporting life?

No star, no problem: Radioactivity could make otherwise frozen planets habitable
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...nets-habitable
[R]esearchers have now proposed that some planets, particularly ones that form near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, might possess enough of these radioactive isotopes to generate sufficient heat to keep their surfaces from freezing entirely solid. “That gives you the freedom to be anywhere,” says Avi Loeb, an astrophysicist at Harvard University and a co-author of the new study. “You don’t need to be close to a star.”

On the Habitable Lifetime of Terrestrial Worlds with High Radionuclide Abundances
https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.02862
One of the most widely used criteria for habitability is the existence of a suitable liquid solvent, based on which the concept of the habitable zone (HZ) was introduced. The HZ is defined as the region around the host star where liquid water can theoretically exist on the planet’s surface. It is, however, crucial to recognize that habitability is a broader concept than the HZ, implying that worlds outside the HZ may be habitable.

Breakthrough Listen Releases List Of “Exotica” – One Of Almost Every Kind Of Observable Object Or Phenomenon In The Universe

Published 22nd June 2020



Breakthrough Listen, the initiative to find signs of intelligent life in the Universe, today released an innovative catalog of “Exotica” -- a diverse list of objects of potential interest to astronomers searching for technosignatures (indicators of technology developed by extraterrestrial intelligence). The catalog is a collection of over 700 distinct targets intended to include “one of everything” in the observed Universe - ranging from comets to galaxies, from mundane objects to the most rare and violent celestial phenomena.

The comprehensive new catalog is the first in recent times that aims to span the entire breadth of astrophysical phenomena, from distant galaxies, to objects in our own Solar System. The Listen team developed it conceptually, compiled it, and shared it with the astronomical community in the hope that it can guide future surveys - studying life beyond Earth and/or natural astrophysics - and serve as a general reference guide for the field.

“Many discoveries in astronomy were not planned,” remarked the lead author of the new catalog, Dr. Brian Lacki. “Sometimes a major new discovery was missed when nobody was looking in the right place, because they believed nothing could be found there. This happened with exoplanets, which might have been detected before the 1990s if astronomers looked for solar systems very different than ours. Are we looking in the wrong places for technosignatures? The Exotica catalog will help us answer that question.”
