Asteroid (2020 SW)

Published 20th September 2020

Asteroid (2020 SW) is a recent discovery and is set to buzz close to Earth this week. The asteroid will flyby 10,000 miles away from Earth which is a lot closer than the Moon. The asteroid is around 30 feet in diameter and traveling over 17,000 miles per hour. Impact is not expected.

Elon Musk Is Set To Mine A Golden Asteroid Worth $700 Quintillion

Published 18th September 2020

Out there in space, right now above our heads, is a wealth of knowledge. And in this case, we mean that literally. Believe it or not, in our very solar system, there is an asteroid that is thought to be the remnants of a planet core. And that means that all those pricey metals that we have to dig for here on Earth, are exposed, and ripe for the taking. Estimates put this giant space faring gold mine at 10,000 quadrillion dollars, and who knows, if we can get up there to explore it up close, we may find that it is worth even more. What would this do to our economy? Just how rich would this make everyone on earth if it was split evenly? Are there any missions planned to get up there? Oh, we got your answers right here. In today’s video we are getting scientific, while making sure to not skimp out on the riches, so we can give you the scoop on this nearby, giant, golden asteroid. If it piques your interest, you’re not alone. None other than Elon Musk has made comments about his thoughts on mining this bad boy, and considering SpaceX will be the company that supports NASA in this quest, you better believe it’s something we should all take seriously. It would bring all new meaning to the phrase, the rich only get richer. So sit back, relax, and get ready to countdown from ten, as we fire all the thrusters and blast off into the final frontier to give you the scoop on the absurd amount of gold floating around in our solar system.

Meteorite Study Calls Into Doubt A Popular Theory About The Early Solar System

Published 16th September 2020



It is generally accepted that the inner region of the early solar system was subject to an intense period of meteoric bombardment referred to as the late heavy bombardment. However, researchers have found evidence that suggests this period occurred slightly earlier than thought and was less intense but also more prolonged. Such details about this period could impact theories about the early Earth and the dawn of life.

Around 4 billion years ago, the solar system was far less hospitable than we find it now. Many of the large bodies we know and love were present, but probably looked considerably different, especially the Earth. We know from a range of sources, including ancient meteorites and planetary geology, that around this time there were vastly more collisions between, and impacts from, asteroids originating in the Mars-Jupiter asteroid belt.

Meteorites From Vesta Found On Asteroid Bennu

Published 21st September 2020



In an interplanetary faux pas, it appears some pieces of asteroid Vesta ended up on asteroid Bennu, according to observations from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. The new result sheds light on the intricate orbital dance of asteroids and on the violent origin of Bennu, which is a “rubble pile” asteroid that coalesced from the fragments of a massive collision.

Space News | Andrew Hall: Scars Of Plasma Dragons

Published 20th September 2020

For the last five years, on this series, Thunderbolts colleague Andrew Hall has presented an extraordinary reconstruction of catastrophic events on Earth, exploring the telltale clues these events imprinted on our planet’s surface. As Andy has explained, many of the fractal patterns we see on Earth cannot be explained through any traditional geological process. However, these geological features find intriguing analogues in some of the highest energy atmospheric phenomena seen in our solar system today.

In part one of this two part presentation, Andy presents the seventh installment of his "Eye of the Storm" series with an examination of the remarkable filamentary and dendritic patterns seen on planet Earth — patterns whose explanation may be found in the ancient events that created the cultural memory of a mythical creature, the dragon.

Previously, in Part One of this presentation, our guest Andrew Hall began his Seventh Episode of "Eye of the Storm" – a series devoted to exploring some of the most dramatic and puzzling geological features on planet Earth.

In Part 2 of his visual essay for "Eye of the Storm" — Episode 7, Andy goes into detailed examination of the lifelike emanations of electrified plasma which tell us much about mysterious dendritic and filamentary geological patterns. Nor is it coincidental that plasma filaments find a stunning analog in a global mythical archetype: the sinuous form and fiery breath of the cosmic dragon.

Sunset Over The Earth

Published 25th September 2020

8K HDR is the future of video. In a world first, we modified a RED Helium 8K camera to shoot 8K video fo the Earth in space. This incredible 8K video was shot over Belgium at sunset, capturing the sun's rays reflecting off the clouds minutes before it descends below the horizon. Shot using a Zeiss CP.3 T2 15mm XD lens, this video shows the Earth's true curvature with no barrel distortion from 120,000 feet (36,000 metres) altitude.

This stunning technical achievement was only possible thanks to the collaboration between our engineering department and the team at RED. Working closely with exclusive access to their design specs and internal software, we were able to modify the camera's thermal control system to develop a completely novel combined temperature regulation method which uses the extreme cold of space to offset the camera's own heat output. That's one way to void a warranty!

Global Alert News | Episode 268



Published 26th September 2020

Heat, wildfires and smoke in the US West have been relentless. The climate engineers can continue the trend for as long as they choose. The scheduled weather for the West is for more of the same. In the eastern half of the US a round of engineered winter weather is being staged. As food crops and fish harvests around the world continue to collapse, the CV-19 societal lockdown scenario is being advanced. How long till forced vaccinations are a part of the equation? The following quote is from a statement just given to Geoengineering Watch by a medical physician, Dr. Anthony Parkes:
"When doctors refuse to even look at evidence on vaccine injuries or genetically engineered viruses, simply dismissing them as conspiracy theories, I truly fear for the future of humanity"~Anthony C Parkes MB, ChB, FRCS (London). To hear the entire statement from Dr. Parks, tune in to this week's broadcast.

Tropical Weather Bulletin For September 27th 2020

Published 27th September 2020

The tropics remain fairly quiet, but there are signs of new activity in the Pacific Ocean.

In the Western Pacific, a broad area of interest has developed into Tropical Depression 15W, which is unlikely to affect significant land areas. Another area of interest persists to its west, with a low chance of formation.
In the east, a system or perhaps two could form off the coast of Mexico near the end of the five day forecast period. Chances also remain, albeit very slim, for a tropical cyclone near the Bahamas this weekend or early next week.

Full Harvest Moon

Published 26th September 2020

According to folklore, the Harvest Moon is the Full Moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox, the beginning of northern autumn. In the days before light bulbs, farmers relied on moonlight to help them harvest their crops. Many crops ripen all at once in late summer and early autumn, so farmers found themselves extremely busy at this time of the year. They have to work after sundown. Moonlight became an essential part of farming and thus, the Harvest Moon was born.

There's more to the Harvest Moon, however, than just an old-fashioned name. It realy is special. Throughout the year the Moon rises, on average, about 50 minutes later each day. But near the Equinox, this difference shrinks to only 30 minutes.

The reason is, at the beginning of autumn the Moon's orbital path makes a narrow angle with the evening horizon. For several nights in a row around the time of the Harvest Moon, the Moon rises almost at sunset.

And you know what happens when the Moon rises at sunset? Low-hanging Moons are reddened by clouds and dust. Not only that, they are swollen to outlandish size by the Moon illusion, a well known but still mysterious trick of they eye, that makes low-hanging Moons seem much larger than they really are.

When you add these effects together the Harvest Moon often looks like a great pumpkin. The experience is repeated for several nights in a row around the Equinox. A great pumpkin-colored Moon rising in the east is a nice way to end the day.

At sundown on October 1-2, go outside, face east and enjoy the Harvest Moon.
