Collision with giant ice planet thought to lurk on the edge of our solar system 'will wipe out Earth in 2016'

By GEORGE HARRISON

CONSPIRACY theorists have claimed a giant planet lurking on the edge of our Solar System will wipe out humanity in a collision with Earth this year.

Keen conspiracy theorists have long believed in the existence of a distant 9th planet in our Solar System, but were ridiculed by the scientific community for years.

However, the claims of these theorists were lent weight after space experts at the California Institute of Technology revealed they had found evidence for a giant ice planet just beyond Pluto.

The frosty world, known as ‘Planet 9’, was recently found to be on a 20,000-year orbit of the Sun, with a mass 10 times that of Earth.

Worryingly, the same group who turned out to be right about Planet 9’s existence also had an apocalyptic warning that a massive hidden planet with a very long orbit will crash into Earth in 2016.

Rogue scientists had speculated about the existence of another planet since the 1800s, but their theories were rubbished and the search for what they termed ‘Planet X’ was called off.

They also claimed to have found a description of a huge planet among the work of the ancient Babylonian civilisation, a society well known for being pioneers of astronomy.

These maverick theorists now believe Planet 9 was the planet we were being warned about by the Babylonians, with theories emerging to suggest this planet will smash into Earth this year.

NASA has, however, warned it is too early to confirm the existence of Planet 9 for sure but pledged “if it's there, we'll find it.”

UFO sightings are common in tiny Colorado town

HOOPER, Colo. -- As part of the new series "Colorado’s Unexplained Stories," we’re taking a trip four hours south of Denver to the San Luis Valley. The area is nicknamed "The UFO Hot Spot of America."

Apparently, there are more UFO sightings there than anywhere else in America.

Locals refer to Highway 17, which cuts through the valley, as "The Cosmic Highway."

If you take the highway into Hooper, you’ll eventually pass by an oddly shaped dome-like structure known as "The UFO Watch Tower." It was created by Judy Messoline 15 years ago.

“What I find is we get people here because they need a place to talk about it and especially ones that have had experiences. Especially abductees,” Messoline said.

Ask anyone who lives in the Hooper area if they’ve ever seen anything weird in the sky and chances are each one of them will tell you "Yes."

Their experiences inspired Messoline to create the tower. It features plenty of things, including a log book where people can write their run-ins with the unknown.

“I had an air traffic controller from DIA come in who said they get six to eight UFO reports from pilots every month. Now figure that one out,” Messoline said with a chuckle.

Without a doubt, what’s inside the tower is neat. But what’s outside is really out of this world.

“The meteor showers are just awesome from up here,” Messoline said as she stood on the tower.

From high atop the tower, people come to experience something different.

“About 40 psychics have been by and they’ve all said the same thing -- that there are two large vortexes in front of the tower,” Messoline said with a serious tone.

It might sound weird, but Messoline said there’s something special about the land the UFO Watch Tower sits on.

So much so, she created a "UFO Garden." The garden is scattered with all sorts of trinkets, left behind by visitors from our world.

“When you walk through the garden you should pay attention to your body so you can feel the energy from the vortexes,” Messoline said.

Vortexes are defined as being a portal between our world and other worlds. Almost like a gateway to a different universe, Messoline said.

“And I thought that’s kind of special, ya know? Doggone,” Messoline said.

For some, this sort of stuff is hard to believe. But in Hooper, the supernatural just comes naturally.

“Lots of things happen here and they can keep on happening because I’m having fun with it,” Messoline said with a laugh.

Our paranormal series "Colorado’s Unexplained Stories" will continue through this season of "The X-Files." If you have a supernatural story you’d like us to investigate, contact FOX31 Denver’s Kevin Torres at kevin.torres@kdvr.com or on his Facebook page.

Sorry, UFO Hunters: Area 51 Just Banned Hobby Drones.

There's some bad news for anyone trying to use their drone to find out what the U.S. government is up to at Area 51. Unmanned aerial vehicles are now banned from flying near the facility.

That's according to a new batch of warning signs posted around the U.S. Air Force base in Nevada. The exact purpose of Area 51 remains classified, though it's believed to be the military's primary development and testing facilities for aircraft and new weapons. The landscape surrounding Area 51 is patrolled by trucks and is dotted with stern signs warning visitors they're subject to search and possible arrest if they cross a boundary.

The new signs were first reported in an article Sunday on the military blog Foxtrot Alpha.

The new drone policy shouldn't come as a surprise. Not only has Area 51 remained one of the U.S. military's most closely guarded secrets for decades, security teams also patrol the restricted air space with low-flying HH 60G Pave Hawk helicopters. A collision with even a small drone could be enough tto cause one of those helicopters to crash.

The Federal Aviation Administration has also sought to reduce unsafe and illegal drone activity by asking all pilots flying a drone that weighs more than .55 pounds to register with the government. That way, the FAA says, officials will know who's responsible when a drone flies too close to an airport, interrupting normal flights operations.

More than 250,000 people have signed up their UAV in the first 30 days since registration began, the FAA reported.

The truth is out there? Irish UFO spotters hoping return of 'X-Files' revives interest

Jane O'Faherty

While Ireland might be well known for leprechauns, another variety of little green men have also captured the imagination of many across the country.

A cloudy and rainy island on the edge of Europe may not seem like the best place for flying saucers, but UFO spotters (or Ufologists) believe Ireland has not been exempt from encounters with beings from other planets.

And believers hope the return of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in a brand new season of 'The X-Files' could rekindle interest in visiting spacecraft.

Yvonne McConnell, a member of the Northern Ireland UFO Society, said she hopes the return of the iconic American series will draw more attention to otherworldly phenomena.

"You had Mulder and Scully, and the amount of coverage it got was huge," she said.

"We think anything that brings people into it and creates awareness is great.

"We are very serious about Ufology, but we are hoping 'The X-Files' gets more people in to it - or even gets them looking up at the sky," she said.

She told the Irish Independent that the society has been holding UFO-watching tours, but is now trying to get a database to collate all sighting reports in once place.

"There's no cross-referencing of data - so, in that case, it's very hard to place anything that's reported," she added.

"It should be treated like all investigations - and this is an investigation."

While Yvonne acknowledges that sightings have been scarce recently, numerous reports of close encounters exist online.

In 1997, UK newspaper 'The People' reported that a group of British SAS troops allegedly met some extra terrestrials while on an assignment in south Armagh some years earlier.

The soldiers were planning to ambush IRA gunmen on a hillside at night, but their mission was said to be thwarted by "up to four small grey figures" who appeared in front of them.

The article says the figures approached the undercover soldiers on a hillside in 1993, stood facing them for one minute, and then disappeared.

In 2008, a senior garda said he filmed unusual light formations in the sky above Dunboyne, Co Meath.

Meanwhile, UFOinfo.com received nine reports of sightings in Ireland in 2014. According to the international website's statistics, 2009 and 2010 were the biggest years for sightings, with 40 and 70 reports respectively.

However, the UK's National Archive, which stores some correspondence of UFO activity in the UK, notes a similar spike in British sightings in 2009 could have been due to a Chinese lantern fad at the time.

It comes as the UK's Ministry of Defence said it planned to release confidential UFO files by March this year.

Meanwhile, the German government was ordered by a court to release its files on extra-terrestrial incidents last year.

In Ireland, however, the Department of Defence said it did not maintain a file on UFO sightings and has not done so since 1984.

Just five Freedom of Information requests have been sent to the department on the topic, but all have been refused. The reason given for all five refusals was that "records do not exist".

Meanwhile, the Irish Aviation Authority stated it had never received any reports relating to unidentified objects spotted in Irish airspace.

'The X-Files' begins on RTÉ 2 at 9.55pm tomorrow.

Strange spheres falling from the sky in North Atlanta (Video)

On January 20, 2016 at approximately 1:24 pm in North Atlanta, strange bb size spheres fell from the sky.  

 

Witness states: What I thought was sleet turned out to be a clear salty hard unknown matter. I still have them and plan to send them somewhere to be tested for what in the world it is!

 

Could the atmosphere of earth have been propagated by wave frequencies just prior to one of the most historic storms in US history?

And the strange ‘salty’ spheres have been sprayed into the atmosphere at high altitudes in order to make it snowing sooner and heavier than it might have done?

 

We have seen it before that Governments have the ability to cause massive floods, droughts, earthquakes and other severe weather patterns by using technologies to devastating effects – even on their own people, indeed.

Take a Peek Into Our #XFiles 5 docs for Mulder & 5 for Scully #TheTruthIsOutThere http://1.usa.gov/1SCbcjj 

7:40 PM - 24 Jan 2016

De documenten hebben onder meer betrekking op vliegende schotels die zijn gezien boven Oost-Duitsland, vliegende schotels boven uraniummijnen in Belgisch-Congo en de bevindingen van het wetenschappelijke adviespanel over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten.

De CIA verwees rechtstreeks naar de hitserie. De spionagedienst droeg vijf documenten aan die ‘Fox Mulder goed kan gebruiken om anderen te overtuigen van het bestaan van buitenaardse activiteit’. Er zijn ook vijf documenten openbaar gemaakt die ‘Dana Scully kan gebruiken om te bewijzen dat er een wetenschappelijke verklaring is voor UFO-waarnemingen’.

Nieuwe onbekende planeet al in 1983 ontdekt?

Er is afgelopen week nogal wat opwinding ontstaan doordat enkele astronomen de ontdekking van een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel aankondigden. 

De hele wereld deed uiterst verbaasd want niemand had dit verwacht. Complete onzin natuurlijk want de planeet waar deze twee astronomen over spreken, is al heel lang bekend. 

De wereld heeft meestal een kort en vaak ook een nogal selectief geheugen. Zo kan het gebeuren dat alles en iedereen afgelopen week in staat van opwinding verkeerde vanwege de ontdekking of liever gezegd de berekening van een nieuwe planeet in ons zonnestelsel.

In 1983 verscheen het volgende artikel in The Washington Post:

Het grote verschil met het verhaal van astronomen nu en het verhaal toen is dat het in 1983 wel degelijk werd waargenomen. 

Wat niet in het gedrukte artikel stond, maar nog wel steeds online staat bij de Washington Post, is het volgende stukje: 

The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time. 

Zoals we inmiddels weten, verdwijnt na 1983 de onbekende planeet plotsklaps uit beeld en is nu ineens weer terug. 

Waar we dus over praten is een grote planeet die niet of nauwelijks schijnt te bewegen: 

Planeetonderzoekster Daphne Stam van de TU Delft noemt de ontdekking een verrassing. Er zijn de afgelopen jaren wel veel dwergplaneetjes gespot in de buitengebieden van het zonnestelsel, 'maar dit is echt een joekel'. 

Waar we hier dan ook over praten is niet de planeet X of Nibiru, maar de zusterplaneet van onze zon. Een planeet die door Nancy Lieder en de Zeta’s al zo'n twintig jaar geleden werd omschreven als de planeet Nemesis. 

De planeet Nibiru en de bijbehorende planeten en manen draaien zowel om deze planeet als om onze zon en verschijnen ook uit de richting van Nemesis en verdwijnen na de passage ook weer die kant op. 

De voornaamste reden dat deze zogenaamde binaire tweeling van onze zon nooit wordt waargenomen, is omdat het altijd een donkere ster is gebleven en geen licht uitstraalt zoals onze zon. Het geeft daarom ook nauwelijks enige warmte af en is derhalve bijna niet op te merken, behalve door telescopen zoals de infrarode IRAS in 1983. 

Daarmee is dan ook de reden verklaard dat toen IRAS na zes maanden voor de tweede keer deze onbekende planeet vastlegde, deze ogenschijnlijk niet van positie was veranderd. Net zoals in ons zonnestelsel voor ons de zon niet van positie veranderd, zo gaat dit ook op voor de zusterplaneet van de zon. 

De planeet Nibiru en de andere planeten bewegen echter wel degelijk in de bekende ovale omloopbaan om hun zon, de net opnieuw ontdekte zusterplaneet van onze zon. 

De reden dat men het bestaan van deze planeet en de om haar heen bewegende planeten zoals Nibiru tot nu altijd geheim heeft gehouden, is om de elite de kans te geven de nodige voorbereidingen te treffen zoals gigantische ondergrondse schuilplaatsen en soms zelfs complete steden. De tweede reden is dat men de wereld zolang mogelijk normaal wil laten doordraaien. 

Nu komen we langzamerhand in een periode waarbij zich zoveel vreemde verschijnselen voordoen dat men er toch niet aan zal ontkomen om op een gegeven moment het bestaan van een aantal onbekende planeten toe te moeten geven. WE hebben altijd voorspeld dat het scenario zich zo zou ontvouwen.

Je ziet nu hoe het gaat in de praktijk. Ondanks dat er gewoon aan te tonen is dat men al heel lang op de hoogte is van een grote onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel reageert de hele mainstream-wereld, als op commando, heel verbaasd.

Mensen die nog steeds moeite hebben met het concept van een aantal planeten waarvan ze nooit het bestaan vermoedden, willen wij aanraden om zich eens te verdiepen in wat er gebeurde na 1983. 

Waarom zijn ongeveer vanaf die datum enorme ondergrondse projecten opgestart? 

Waarom wordt vlakbij de Amerikaanse stad Denver niet lang daarna begonnen met de bouw van het meest enge vliegveld ooit? De werkelijke reden is niet omdat er zo nodig een nieuw vliegveld moest komen, maar wel omdat er een excuus moest zijn om te beginnen met de bouw van een ondergrondse stad. 

Een vliegveld dat landingsbanen heeft in de vorm van een hakenkruis.... maar hey, dat is toeval.

Het vermoeden van een ondergrondse stad onder dit vliegveld bestond al veel langer, maar kon nooit echt bewezen worden totdat ook hierover klokkenluiders begonnen te praten. 

Nu is de tijd dat ongeveer alle ondergrondse faciliteiten klaar zijn en belangrijke instanties zijn verkast. 

Zo vind je in de al eerder geciteerde Washington Post al vanaf 2005 verhalen over hoe de CIA bepaalde afdelingen heeft verhuisd naar Denver omdat dit efficiënter zou zijn. Naast de CIA duiken er nog veel meer veiligheidsinstanties op in Denver. Niemand begrijpt trouwens dat dit de efficiëntie zou bevorderen. 

It is unclear how a move to Denver would increase the effectiveness of the domestic division's operations, said several former intelligence officials. 

Colorado has become a major intelligence hub since Sept. 11, 2001. 

Bovenstaande is slechts een kleine greep uit over hoe men wel degelijk weet van het bestaan van onbekende planeten in ons zonnestelsel en hoe men zich al tientallen jaren bezighoudt met het voorbereiden hun komst. 

Het enige dat eigenlijk nu nog rest is om te kunnen vaststellen wanneer deze passage van Nibiru met bijbehorende satellietplaneten zal plaatsvinden. 

De meningen daarover zijn enorm verdeeld en het enige correcte antwoord is dat helemaal niemand (of bijna niemand) dat weet. 

Niemand van de huidige mensheid heeft ooit zoiets meegemaakt en ook onze voorvaderen niet, dus van de geschiedenisboeken worden we ook al niet veel wijzer. 

We zitten op dit moment in een fase waarin duidelijk wordt dat er “iets” is en dat er bepaalde ongewone gebeurtenissen plaatsvinden zoals de vreemde geluiden en de vreemde lichten zowel op in ieder geval aarde alsook op Mars. 

In de komende jaren zullen waarschijnlijk bepaalde verschijnselen heftiger worden en zullen er misschien nog meer “vreemde” dingen voorvallen. 

Een goede manier om te ontdekken of er werkelijk wat staat te gebeuren, is om de agenda’s van de elite te controleren. Op het moment dat zij zo ongeveer allemaal een periode hebben met “lege agenda’s” kun je er gevoegelijk vanuit gaan dat er iets staat te gebeuren. 

Gezien de manier waarop ze zich op dit moment gedragen, lijkt daar op dit moment vooralsnog geen sprake van.

Harvard is trying to build an AI as fast as the human brain

A reconstruction of cortical connectivity

Harvard University has been awarded $28 million (£19m) to investigate why brains are so much better at learning and retaining information than artificial intelligence. The award, from the Intelligence Advanced Projects Activity (IARPA), could help make AI systems faster, smarter and more like human brains. 

While many computers have a comparable storage capacity, their ability to recognise patterns and learn information does not match the human brain. But a better understanding of how neurons are connected could help develop more complex artificial intelligence.

Most neuroscientists estimate that the 'storage capacity' for the human brain ranges between 10 and 100 terabytes, with some evaluations putting the number at close to 2.5 petabytes. In terms of functionality, the human brain has a huge range -- data analysis, pattern recognition and an ability to learn and retain information are just a few processes the brain goes through on a daily basis. 

A human being only need look at a car a few times to recognise one, but an AI system may need to process hundreds or even thousands of samples before it's able to retain the information. Conversely, while functionality may be more complex and varied, the human brain is unable to process the same volume of data as a computer.

Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Centre for Brain Studies (CBS) and Department of Molecular and Cellular Biologies will work together to record activity inside the visual cortex. This, they hope, will help us understand how neurons are connected to each other with the end goal of creating a more accurate and complex artificial intelligence system. These learnings could allow the creation of the first computer systems that can interpret, analyse and learn information as quickly and successfully as human beings. 

The systems could be used to detect network invasions, read MRIs, drive cars, or complete just about any task normally reserved for human brains. The project will generate over a petabyte of data, which will be analysed by a series of complex algorithms to create a detailed 3D neural map.

DON'T MISS

US military wants to help us control computers with our thoughts

"The pattern-recognition and learning abilities of machines still pale in comparison to even the simplest mammalian brains," said Hanspeter Pfister, professor of computer science at Harvard.

"The project is not only pushing the boundaries of brain science, it is also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in computer science. We will reconstruct neural circuits at an unprecedented level from petabytes of structural and functional data. It requires us to make new advances in data management, high-performance computing, computer vision and network analysis". 

Once the detailed neural map has been collated, the teams will try to understand exactly how connections between neurons allows the system to process information. These 'biologically-inspired' algorithms will far outperform current AI capabilities, and could see major improvements in computer vision, navigation and recognition. 

"This is a moonshot challenge," said project leader David Cox, assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology and computer science. "The scientific value of recording the activity of so many neurons and mapping their connections alone is enormous, but that is only the first half of the project. 

"As we figure out the fundamental principles governing how the brain learns, it's not hard to imagine that we'll eventually be able to design computer systems that can match, or even outperform, humans."

“We have a huge task ahead of us in this project, but at the end of the day, this research will help us understand what is special about our brains," he added. "One of the most exciting things about this project is that we are working on one of the great remaining achievements for human knowledge -- understanding how the brain works at a fundamental level."

A Russian scientists injected himself with a 3.5 million year old ‘bacteria’ found in Siberia and the results are staggering

Controversial ‘Mad Scientists’ Anatoli Brouchkov has injected himself with a 3.5 million year old bacteria said to be the key to ‘eternal life’. Broushkov found the revolutionary cells in the Siberian permafrost and says that ever since he injected himself with the bacteria, he feels stronger and healthier than ever.

 

The cells discovered in the Siberian permafrost have an incredible level of vitality and high resistance to environmental factors. Tests on animals showed that these cells substantially increased physical activity and strengthened the immune system.

 

Prof Anatoli Broushkov is the head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University and according to Russian media, he has not gotten sick in two years, ever since he started experimenting on himself.

 

The 3.5 million year old Bacillus F is believed to be a key component in improving the longevity of humans. Researchers from Russia have managed to unlock the DNA of the bacteria and have been testing it on Mice and human cells. Broushkov however decided to test it out on himself, the results? A healthy and strong body resisting time better than ever.

 

 

What makes this bacteria so special? Well Bacillus F as it has been dubbed by scientists has managed to survive for millions of years in Siberia, one of the most extreme places on Earth.

 

‘I started to work longer, I’ve never had a flu for the last two years,’ he told The Siberian Times

‘After successful experiments on mice and fruit flies, I thought it would be interesting to try the inactivated bacterial culture.’

 

Prof Broushkov believes that there are trace amounts of the bacteria in the water supplies of the region.

 

 

‘The permafrost is thawing, and I guess these bacteria get into the environment, into the water, so the local population, the Yakut people, in fact, for a long time are getting these cells with water, and even seem to live longer than some other nations. So there was no danger for me.’

 

At first it was difficult to understand what the bacteria was doing with inside the body said Broushkov.

 

‘But we do not know yet exactly how it works. In fact, we do not know exactly how aspirin works, for example, but it does. ‘The same is true here: we cannot understand the mechanism, but we see the impact.’

 

‘Perhaps there were some side-effects, but there should be some special medical equipment to spot them.’

 

‘Of course, such experiments need to be conducted in clinic, with the special equipment and statistics.’

 

‘Then we could say clearly about all the effects.’

 

‘If we can find how the bacteria stays alive we probably would be able to find a tool to extend our own lives,’ he told RT in an interview.

 

The 3.5 million year old bacteria could not only be the key to human longevity but it can be a key factor to fertility say scientists. Once injected into mice, Bacillus F allowed older female mice to reproduce after they stopped being able to. The bacteria has the ability to heal plants as well.

 

Dr Viktor Chernyavsky, an epidemiologist from Yakutsk described the discovery as a ‘scientific sensation’ and as an ‘elixir of life,’ saying ‘The bacteria gives out biologically active substances throughout its life, which activates the immune status of experimental animals.’

Colonel Halt addresses nation on the rendlesham UFO

A Doctor Claims To Have Proved Aliens Exist

Dr Richard O’Connor locked two motion detector cameras in the sky at his home in Helena, Montana in the U.S., which allowed him to snap nearly 280,000 photos.

But only on his recent photos he believes he’s able to capture the long-sought proof of alien-flown UFOs. Dr O’Connor, a semi-retired anesthesiologist at Helena’s St. Peter’s Hospital, claims he captures an object flying through the skies in a series of five pictures.

He says that even a hardened sceptic would say “wow!” as this is what he expects of a UFO would look. He adds that it appears to be a light source, and the photographs are evidence that UFOs are real.

After Dr O’Connor had posted those pictures online, a frenzy of debate flared among the UFO community, with some suggested they were not conclusive proof, and other said they were fake.
Now, he is enlisting more experts to check and examine the photos.

Dr O’Connor set up two Reconyx Hyperfire PC 900 Trail cameras, 30 feet above the ground on the south-east corner of his house, in hopes to get some evidence of UFOs once they set off the motion detector.

The cameras shoot 20 photos at about a second intervals when triggered by motion. They had captured several squirrels, birds, and windblown treetops, but Dr O’Connor believed he finally snapped proof of UFOs this winter.

He said: “Basically what you see is a very symmetrical, smooth and reflective surface that appears to have its light source.”

He further claims that he has no knowledge about image manipulation. His photos were sent to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), which keeps and investigates a database of UFO sightings.

Head of NUFORC, Peter Davenport, sent the pictures to a photo-analyst for further investigation. According to the unnamed analyst, the images are real, but still a mystery. The analyst suspects the lights in the first and last photos are sun reflections of something rather than any propulsion system. In conclusion, the analyst says it’s a puzzle to solve rather than a fake.

However, another analyst who also examined them suggested they were completely fake, which angered Dr O’Connor, who promised to take a polygraph test about the authenticity of his photos. Dr O’Connor said that what people saw in there was what came off that camera. He added that they were deserving to be studied in a well-funded, unbiased scientific study to determine if we were being visited.

A third analyst said that the photo was an interesting one. The colours of the object resembled the surrounding clouds and blue sky. It would occur naturally with highly reflective silver objects. The fact that it was 1/20 second frame could rule out balloons or other terrestrial objects. It also indicated the objects decelerated and accelerated and held the position for just one frame, as no elongated motion line would have occurred if the velocity was constant, explained the third analyst.

A new documentary about the space shuttle Challenger accident airs tonight (Jan. 25), three days before the 30th anniversary of the tragic event.

On Jan. 28, 1986, Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after blasting off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, killing all seven astronauts aboard, including Christa McAuliffe, whom NASA had chosen to become America's first teacher in space.

The new documentary, called "Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes," re-examines the disaster using contemporary audio recordings and rare video footage, including interviews with McAuliffe and clips of the New Hampshire social-studies teacher practicing some of the lessons she had planned to send down to kids on Earth from orbit.

"Christa was just a wonderful teacher, a wonderful human being and a wonderful representative of our profession," former NASA astronaut Barbara Morgan told Space.com. Morgan, an educator herself, served as McAuliffe's backup on the Challenger mission and eventually made it to space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 2007.

"Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes" premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on the National Geographic Channel. The film will also air on National Geographic Channels in 171 countries in 45 languages, and in Spanish on Nat Geo Mundo, network representatives said. You can watch a teaser trailer for the documentary here.

McAuliffe was a payload specialist on the doomed Challenger mission, which is known as STS-51-L. The other astronauts who lost their lives that day were mission commander Dick Scobee; pilot Mike Smith; mission specialists Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka and Ron McNair; and payload specialist Greg Jarvis.

Investigators later determined that a rubber seal called an O-ring in one of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters failed during launch, partly as a result of unusually cold weather (which caused the O-ring to harden).

This failure allowed hot, high-pressure gas to escape and damage Challenger's huge external fuel tank, as well as the equipment that attached the solid rocket booster to the tank.

The space shuttle fleet was grounded for 32 months in the wake of the Challenger disaster, finally taking to the skies again in September 1988 on Discovery's STS-26 mission. The program suffered another disaster on Feb. 1, 2003, when the shuttle Columbia broke apartupon re-entering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard.

The shuttles stopped flying for good in July 2011, and the surviving orbiters are now museum pieces. NASA currently relies on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to get its astronauts to and from orbit, though the space agency is encouraging privately developed American spaceships to perform this taxi service. Indeed, NASA awarded a total of $6.8 billion to Boeing and SpaceX in September 2014 to finish work on their crew capsules, which the agency hopes will be up and running by the end of next year.

"Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes" airs tonight on the National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m. (check local listings).

Scientists Claim To Have Invented A ‘Magnetic Wormhole’

Scientists in Spain have created a “magnetic wormhole” in the laboratory which is reportedly capable of transmitting magnetic fields invisibly through space.

While the manufactured wormhole does not connect two separate points in “spacetime” as does a genuine theoretical wormhole and cannot answer physic’s and cosmology’s fundamental questions, it can however connect two points in three dimensional space, albeit electromagnetically.

Researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have developed a spherical device capable of transferring a magnetic field from one point in space to another via a path that is magnetically undetectable. The results are published inNature.com.

Smash reports:

The experiment involved designing a three-layer device which had two spheres connected by an interior spiral cylinder. It enabled the magnetic field to travel from one point to another on a hidden path. The inner layer was made of a ferromagnetic mu-metal, giving it a high level of magnetism, while the next two layers worked to conceal the travelling field.

One was a superconductor shell that bent the field as it travelled through the ferromagnetic material, the other was a different mu-metal, cut and formed so as to cancel out the bending. The entire device was placed in liquid nitrogen to aide the superconductors.

Normally, as a magnetic field travels its path can be detected, but the device enabled it to disappear while in transit so it appeared to arrive from out of nowhere at its destination, like a cloaking effect.

“This device can transmit the magnetic field from one point in space to another point, through a path that is magnetically invisible,” said Jordi Prat-Camps, a co-author of the study. “From a magnetic point of view, this device acts like a wormhole, as if the magnetic field was transferred through an extra special dimension.”

While what’s been created isn’t a space-time wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen bridge, like the sort seen inInterstellar and Thor (see below), it does hold real-world potential. For instance it could have applications for MRI scanners which use strong magnets and require people to sit inside a huge machine.

Using a more refined version of this technique means the magnet could still be effective placed further away, doing away with the confined space of an MRI.

Of course, these are all the positive applications that it could possibly used for, but just to keep you on your toes the sphere does have more than a passing resemblance to a certain film (below), Event Horizon, where things didn’t go quite as planned:

Our solar system might not be the weird kid on the block after all. Astronomers announced this week that they’ve seen strong evidence for a planet around 10 times Earth’s mass lurking unseen in the outer solar system. If it bears out, this world would fill a hole in our solar system’s family tree: a missing super-Earth.

Super-Earths, also known as mini-Neptunes since they may be gassy or rocky, are among the most common planets in the Milky Way. Hundreds have been spotted in other solar systems over the past two decades, but even so there appeared to be none back home.

But now Konstantin Batygin and Michael Brown, astrophysicists at the California Institute of Technology, say they can make a convincing case for a super-Earth here in our solar system.

Only a giant planet will do

“We didn’t want to invoke a distant giant planet to explain anything about the outer solar system,” says Batygin. “We tried every trick in the book, and some that aren’t in the book. Simply nothing else worked.”

“We usually talk about how the most common type of planet, two to three times the size of Earth, is not found in our solar system, yet now we might have one,” says Sara Seager at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology. “That’s cool.”

But even if there is a super-Earth out on the edges of our solar system, we’re still pretty weird. “Even with Planet Nine bringing us a bit closer to the galactic planetary catalogue, the solar system does still appear to be an overall outlier,” says Batygin, as super-Earths in other star systems are much closer to their stars.

Jupiter is the culprit

Simulations of the young solar system suggest that the early formation of Jupiter probably prevented this from happening here. But those simulations also suggest that a super-Earth couldn’t have formed as far away as Planet Nine would have to be, at least, not then – there simply wasn’t enough material out there to make a planet that big.

So how did Planet Nine, if it exists, get all the way out there?

The answer must lie in the very beginnings of the solar system, when our stellar neighbourhood was a very different – and much more dangerous – place. “We know the process of planet formation is not placid,” says Batygin. “There was a very chaotic sequence of events.” Planets were thrown around by their gravitational pulls on each other, occasionally colliding, as in the process that is thought to have formed Earth’s moon.

Planet Nine was the “core of a giant planet, which was forming with the other planets we know and love, that was thrown out of the solar system,” says Batygin.

Violent births

“We know that Uranus and Neptune probably had a very violent final phase of formation,” says Sean Raymond of Bordeaux Observatory in France – they essentially came together through a series of collisions. Last year he and colleagues simulated this process and found that planets around five times the mass of Earth were ejected from the solar system during the pileup.

At the time the team didn’t think too much about their eventual fate, but hints of Planet Nine suggest one could have settled down into a lengthy orbit. “This extra planet could be representative of the building blocks of the ice giants,” says Raymond.

That gives us a new mystery: what prevented the planet’s escape? Brown believes that gas and dust in the very early solar system may have slowed down the planet, but Batygin has his eye on a different culprit: the other stars nearby in the early days of our solar system. He thinks that gravitational tugs from those stars, are the best candidates for slowing down Planet Nine enough to keep it in a huge, elongated orbit around the sun.

Random pattern or real object?

But Planet Nine might not even be there. While Batygin and Brown have pointed out compelling evidence for the existence of Planet Nine by studying the unusual orbits of six distant rocks called Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), that is not the same as a discovery, says Brown. “People are good at seeing patterns in places, and maybe we have just seen a random pattern and convinced ourselves it’s statistically significant. That’s my biggest worry.”

Future discoveries of KBOs will provide the true test. “If you find more of these objects and they really are randomly distributed around the sky, then it’s time for us to hang our heads in shame and retreat from the national media,” says Brown. But if the anomalies in the outer Kuiper belt remain, then Planet Nine will remain a likely explanation for them.

“Further work is needed to explain the origin of Planet Nine,” says Lucie Jílková of Leiden Observatory in The Netherlands, who last year suggested the strange orbits of these KBOs could be explained if they were stolen from a passing star. “Observations of more outer solar system bodies will help to further constrain and distinguish the theories.”

Lightbulb on the moon

If Planet Nine really is out there, with any luck astronomers will be able to spot it soon, despite the scant light it reflects from the sun. “Finding this object is like finding a lightbulb on the moon,” says Batygin. “But our calculations have provided a roadmap for where to look for this very dim object in the sky. Hopefully, that will trigger a hunt.”

We might even send a probe there one day. “It’s not as crazy as it sounds,” says Brown. “The way you do it is head straight for the sun, and as you swing around the sun and you’re getting this gravitational slingshot, you fire a whole bank of rocket engines.” Depending on the distance to Planet Nine, this could take anywhere from a few years to 20 years.

Other schemes like this have been proposed in the past, some with nuclear-powered rockets, but they never got past the planning stages. But a target like Planet Nine could make all the difference. “The societal impact of having that destination would be very exciting,” says Greg Laughlin at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “The stars are just too far away, we’re not going there. But this is a place where we could get to.”
