'Water world' found just 39 light years away represents leap forward in search for aliens, scientists say
'Water world' found just 39 light years away represents leap forward in search for aliens, scientists say
The discovery marks the first time that an atmosphere has been found around another Earth-like planet
The hot, steamy planet as envisioned by an artist MPIA/PA
Scientists have found a planet that looks like Earth – and, for the first time, has its own hazy atmosphere.
The discovery represents a major leap forward in the hunt for a planet like our own that could support alien life.
The planet, which is 39 lightyears from us, has a hazy atmosphere that could have a "water world" beneath it, scientists say.
While the planet isn't likely to be habitable, it suggests that there might be more planets out there with the kind of atmosphere that could support life. Until now, scientists have only been able to see giant "hot Jupiter" planets that are too warm to house aliens.
The "super-Earth" planet known as GJ 1132b was observed as it passed in front of a cool red dwarf star, blocking out some of the star's light.
By measuring the slight drop in the star's brightness, astronomers were able to work out that the planet was 1.4 times the size of Earth.
They also found that in one light wavelength band, the planet looked slightly bigger. This could be explained by an atmosphere that was opaque to some light wavelengths, but transparent to others.

Dr John Southworth, from the University of Keele, who led the team, said: "While this is not the detection of life on another planet, it's an important step in the right direction.
"The detection of an atmosphere around the super-Earth GJ 1132b marks the first time that an atmosphere has been detected around an Earth-like planet other than Earth itself.
"With this research, we have taken the first tentative step into studying the atmospheres of smaller, Earth-like planets. We simulated a range of possible atmospheres for this planet, finding that those rich in water and/or methane would explain the observations of GJ 1132b.
"The planet is significantly hotter and a bit larger than Earth, so one possibility is that it is a 'water world' with an atmosphere of hot steam."
Analysing the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres could in future yield tell-tale signs of life.
Ozone, derived from oxygen released by plants, is one atmospheric life marker. Methane is another, although it can also be generated by volcanic activity.
US planetary scientist Dr Sara Seager, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has compiled a list of 14,000 different molecules that could provide biosignatures of life on alien worlds.
The American space agency Nasa's new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), due to be launched next year as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, will be powerful enough to begin studying the atmospheres of Earth-like exoplanets.
There are also proposals for an even bigger High Definition Space Telescope (HDST), with a 40ft-wide mirror twice as large as the one carried by the JWST. It would directly image planets in nearby star systems and search for the fingerprints of life in their atmospheres.
The HDST, likely to be a multibillion-pound international project, is not expected to be launched until the 2030s.
Dwarf Planet Ceres & the Case of the Vanishing Ice Volcanoes
Dwarf Planet Ceres & the Case of the Vanishing Ice Volcanoes
By Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor
The only mountain peak on the dwarf planet Ceres, the ice volcano Ahuna Mons, may be slowly spreading out and sinking into the crust. In this simulated perspective view, the elevation of the peak has been exaggerated by a factor of two.

The solitary mountain on the dwarf planet Ceres may be slowly disappearing, following in the footsteps of earlier peaks.
New research suggests that the outer layer of the icy world may be slowly shifting over time, allowing the peak to gradually stretch out and sink into the crust. Similar mountains may have peppered the planet in the past and flattened out over time.
"It's sort of like if you spill some syrup or honey on a plate and you watch it spread out over time, not instantaneously like water does but a little more slowly, it eventually gets to a flatter, broader shape; it's the same process," Michael Sori, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, told Space.com. [NASA Probe Snaps Stunning New Pics of Dwarf Planet Ceres]
Sori is lead author on a paper proposing that the mountain, called Ahuna Mons, may be slowly spreading outward due to its viscosity. He presented the results in March at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences conference in The Woodlands, Texas.
The lonely ice mountain
When NASA's Dawn mission arrived at Ceres in 2015, it found a nearly flat world with only a single mountain, Ahuna Mons. The massive summit towers 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) above the surface and is at most 200 million years old. Previous research has suggested the peak could be an ice volcano — forming through the process of cryovolcanism, or flowing ice — but its source is still under debate.
The mountain's isolation has been a major puzzle for scientists since Dawn first spotted it. Other icy worlds suspected of hosting cryovolcanoes, such as Pluto and the moons Europa, Triton and Titan, have multiple suspects. Ceres has only one. According to Sori, one possibility is that cryovolcanism was dormant on Ceres until fairly recently — although he calls that an unlikely scenario.
"It's just odd to think of a thermal history of a planet where that would happen, where you would have it be dead for most of its history and then just yesterday, relatively speaking, become active," he said. "It's a weird thermal history to think about."
The other, more likely option is that cryovolcanoes formed throughout the planet's lifetime, then disappeared. Because Ceres lacks an atmosphere or running liquids on its surface, the erosion processes of wind and rain that wear down Earth's mountains don't happen on the tiny world.
Sori and his colleagues focused not on the formation of the mountain but on what happened afterward. They modeled possible compositions for Ahuna Mons and found that, if at least 40 percent of the mountain was made up of ice, it would slowly spread outward like honey on a plate, gradually relaxing or flattening down over time. With more ice, the mountain became more viscous, wavering between solid and liquid.
"Our stuff takes place after the initial emplacement process, so we can be a little bit agnostic as to how the mountain formed in the first place," Sori said. "The key is, it just needs to have enough ice to experience this viscous relaxation."
Cratering records provide one method for calculating the age of a terrain. While Ahuna Mons itself lacks signs of impacts, the region it sits in has craters that provide a limit of about a billion years for the mountain, previous research has shown. Sori's team came up with an even younger age if the precipice is relaxing. If the peak is half ice, it would take 500 million years to relax away after formation, he said; if it is completely ice, it would vanish within 20 million years of its birth.
"Ahuna Mons is young, no more than 200 million years old," Sori said. Its youth suggests that the planet may still be geologically active today, though no definitive signs have been spotted by Dawn.

Lonely no more
Ceres may be the lone peak today, but there's evidence that another spire may have risen in the past. Near Ahuna Mons lies the shape of another hill, spotted by a previous team. This may be the remnants of a previous cryovolcano like Ahuna Mons that gradually relaxed away, Sori said.
"Maybe it was emplaced in the same shape [as Ahuna Mons] but flowed into its current shape over a few hundred million years," he added.
That could suggest that the region around Ahuna Mons may be an ongoing source of cryovolcanism. On Earth, shifting plates cause lava to erupt through the crust in multiple locations, often spawning chains of volcanoes, but Ceres has no plate tectonics. Sori said the region could be more like Mars, where rocky lava continued to pile up on itself to create the massive Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in the solar system. But while Ahuna Mons may be relaxing due to ice, the rocky Olympus Mons stands firm.
Sori and his colleagues plan to search other images of Ceres for signs of potentially relaxed cryovolcanoes.
A MILITARY OFFICER'S LOST CAMERA REVEALS A PICTURE OF AN ALIEN EMBRYO
A MILITARY OFFICER'S LOST CAMERA REVEALS A PICTURE OF AN ALIEN EMBRYO
Today we received a strange picture of an alleged alien being together with a fascinating story.
Read the eyewitness report and tell us what you think:
This happened exactly 11 years ago in 2006. It was my last year in high school, and I was involved in the art department.
Specifically there was three classes, Photography, Digital Photography and Natural Art. These three rooms were linked together in the middle by an office. I remember that it was me and two friends who were assistances for the teachers and we were talking in the office with the photography teacher.
He was telling us about a camera that was found in his sister’s house. It belonged to a military officer and well he had this camera in his attic, and while they were cleaning out the house and came across it, she decided to develop the pictures to see what they were.
To her surprise, my teacher described her reaction as “completely horrified” there were pictures she immediately threw away and could not believe. He never described to me what these pictures were but one of them he was able to keep.
It’s a specimen with an unknown tag on it. The military official that lived there apparently had died a long time ago and worked in a facility, but nobody ever knew where. My teacher was able to get this picture that was developed, and he showed it to us.
I asked if I could take a picture of it or show it to my friends he said no. He put it in his office and locked the office after we were finished seeing it. During lunch, my department (digital photography) had keys available for the office, and I quickly took the keys and opened the office while they were on lunch and well I quickly snapped pictures and ran back inside the classroom.
This is the picture of the photograph that was developed straight from the old camera!
Ze wonen op een van de meest afgelegen en unieke plaatsen van de aarde en dat zou hen nog specialer kunnen maken dan we al dachten. Onderzoekers hebben ontdekt dat de bewoners van enkele eilanden in de Stille Oceaan DNA hebben dat niet terug te voeren is op de voorouders van de mens die we al kennen: de denisovamens en de neanderthaler.
Wetenschappers van het MD Anderson Cancer Center aan de universiteit van Texas vonden sporen van een onbekende uitgestorven voorouder in het genetisch materiaal van de Melanesiërs, die op de eilanden wonen ten noordoosten van Australië: onder meer Fiji, Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea en de Salomonseilanden.
Het zou om materiaal van een verre verwant kunnen gaan van de neanderthaler. En het kan misschien helpen een van de mysteries van de Melanesiërs te verklaren, die zo donker zijn als de bevolking van Afrika, maar waarvan een kwart wel blond haar heeft. En niemand weet hoe dat komt.
Fossielen Van de neanderthaler zijn heel wat fossielen overgebleven in Europa en Azië, van de denisovamens amper een vingerkootje en wat tanden in een grot in Siberië. Maar allebei zijn ze goed gedocumenteerd. Van de nieuwe voorouder zijn nog geen fossiele resten ontdekt.
Complexer "We missen een voorouder", klinkt het bij onderzoeker Ryan Bohlender. "Of er is iets wat we niet begrijpen in hun onderlinge relatie. De menselijke geschiedenis is nog een stuk complexer dan we al dachten."
Het onderzoek toonde ook aan dat er twee keer zo veel mensen leefden in Afrika toen onze soort ontstond en dat de afsplitsing van de neanderthalers 100.000 jaar later gebeurde.
Wetenschappers hebben voor het eerst een atmosfeer ontdekt rond een aardeachtige planeet. Ze bestudeerden de planeet GJ 1132b, die 1,4 keer zo groot is als de aarde en 39 lichtjaren van ons verwijderd. Uit de studie, die werd gepubliceerd in het Astronomical Journal, blijkt dat de planeet omgeven is door een dikke laag gassen die ofwel uit water, methaan of een combinatie van beiden bestaan. De ontdekking van een planeet met een atmosfeer is een belangrijke stap in de zoektocht naar leven buiten ons zonnestelsel.
De ontdekking van planeet GJ 1132b werd voor het eerst aangekondigd in 2015. Ze ligt in het Vela-sterrenstelsel en cirkelt rond de dwergster GJ 1132. De planeet is in omvang ongeveer gelijkaardig aan de aarde, maar haar ster is veel kleiner, koeler en zwakker dan onze zon.
Sterrenkundigen hebben in het verleden al atmosferen ontdekt rond veel grotere gasreuzen zoals Jupiter of rond een 'superaarde' zoals 55 Cancri e, een planeet die ongeveer acht keer groter is dan de aarde op 40 lichtjaren van ons zonnestelsel. Maar het is de allereerste keer dat er bewijs is voor een atmosfeer rond een planeet die qua omvang niet veel verschilt van de aarde. Aan de hand van de atmosfeer kunnen de onderzoekers proberen vast te stellen of deze werelden geschikt zijn voor leven zoals we dat hier kennen en kunnen ze op zoek gaan naar sporen van leven.
Met een telescoop van het Europese Zuidelijke Observatorium in Chili konden de onderzoekers de planeet bestuderen door te observeren hoe ze het licht van haar ster blokkeert terwijl ze er rond cirkelt. "Het maakt dat de ster wat zwakker lijkt - en het is eigenlijk een heel goede manier om cirkelende planeten te vinden - zo werd deze ontdekt," aldus dr. Southworth.
Verschillende moleculen in de atmosfeer van een planeet - indien ze over een beschikt tenminste - absorberen licht op verschillende manieren, waardoor wetenschappers op zoek kunnen gaan naar hun chemische 'handtekeningen'.
Op basis van de observaties van planeet GJ 1132b vermoeden ze dat deze beschikt over een dikke atmosfeer die bestaat uit stoom en/of methaan. "Een mogelijkheid is dat het een 'waterwereld' is met een atmosfeer van hete stoom," zegt Southworth.
Leven mogelijk?
De kans dat er leven is op GJ 1132b is echter zeer klein: de planeet heeft een oppervlaktetemperatuur van 390 graden Celsius.
"De warmste temperatuur waarbij leven op onze aarde kon bestaan is 120 graden Celsius en dat is veel koeler dan deze planeet, zegt dr. John Southworth, de hoofdonderzoeker van de Keele University.
Toch is de ontdekking van een planeet met een atmosfeer hoopgevend. "Wat we hebben aangetoond is dat planeten rond lichte sterren atmosferen kunnen hebben en omdat er daarvan zoveel zijn in het universum, maakt dit het veel waarschijnlijker dat er eentje leven zou hebben."

Deze NASA-astronauten geloven dat aliens bestaan en de aarde hebben bezocht
Deze NASA-astronauten geloven dat aliens bestaan en de aarde hebben bezocht
Een aantal NASA-astronauten heeft gezegd dat buitenaardsen bestaan en dat ze al geruime tijd in contact staan met de mensheid.
Tenminste vier bekende astronauten hebben zich openlijk uitgesproken over bestaan van aliens.
Sommigen van hen hebben UFO’s zien vliegen, terwijl anderen claimen dat ze door hoge militaire functionarissen zijn ingelicht over buitenaards contact.
Edgar Mitchell
In 1971 werd Edgar Mitchell de zesde maan die op de maan liep. De rest van zijn leven bleef hij vertellen dat ‘aliens ons al lange tijd in de gaten houden en hier al heel lang zijn’.
Hij claimde eens dat vredelievende aliens de aarde hadden bezocht om ons te behoeden voor een kernoorlog en dat het Vaticaan de waarheid kent over het bestaan van buitenaardsen.
Mitchell zei ook dat UFO’s zijn gezien boven kerninstallaties en tijdens de Koude Oorlog vaak kernraketten uitschakelden.
De astronaut stelde bovendien dat de Amerikaanse overheid het beroemde Roswellincident in de doofpot heeft gestopt.
“De reden hiervoor was dat ze niet wisten of de aliens al dan niet kwaad in de zin hadden en ze wilden niet dat de Sovjets er lucht van zouden krijgen,” zei hij.
Gordon Cooper
Cooper deed mee aan Project Mercury, de eerste Amerikaanse bemande ruimtemissie. Hij zei in 1951 UFO’s te hebben gezien boven Duitsland.
De astronaut zei ook dat hij vliegende schotels had gezien boven een geheime vliegbasis waar experimentele Amerikaanse vliegtuigen werden getest.
“Deze buitenaardse vaartuigen en hun bemanningsleden komen van andere planeten die iets hoger ontwikkeld zijn,” zei hij in 1984.
“We moeten eerst laten zien dat we onze problemen op een vreedzame manier kunnen oplossen en niet door middel van oorlog, voordat we kunnen worden geaccepteerd als leden van het universele team.”
Deke Slayton
Slayton was ook onderdeel van Project Mercury en werd later directeur van Flight Crew Operations van de NASA.
In 1951 zag hij naar verluidt een UFO. “Het leek op een vliegende schotel,” zei hij. “Ik had geen camera bij me, anders had ik zeker foto’s gemaakt.”
“Het [object] versnelde plotseling en verdween,” zei Slayton.
Brian O’Leary
O’Leary is nooit in de ruimte geweest, maar was wel één van de 11 astronauten die in de jaren zestig in aanmerking kwamen voor een mogelijke Marsmissie.
Later in zijn leven had O’Leary een bijna-doodervaring die zijn kijk op het leven en de realiteit drastisch veranderde.
“Er is overvloedig bewijs dat we worden bezocht [door aliens],” zei O’Leary, die als professor was verbonden aan de Princeton University.
“Beschavingen houden ons al heel lang in de gaten en vanuit het traditionele materialistische westerse standpunt bekeken zien ze er bizar uit.”
ER VERSCHIJNEN VREEMDE WORMGATEN BOVEN ONZE ATMOSFEER ( VIDEO )
ER VERSCHIJNEN VREEMDE WORMGATEN BOVEN ONZE ATMOSFEER ( VIDEO )
Wij mensen zijn in onze driedimensionale werkelijkheid heel erg beperkt in wat we wel of niet kunnen.
Zo zitten we vast aan begrippen zoals tijd en ruimte, maar er verschijnen steeds meer aanwijzingen dat buitenaardsen dit probleem allang hebben opgelost.
De afgelopen jaren schreven we regelmatig over vreemde wolken die af en toe aan de hemel verschijnen en waar met de regelmaat van de klok UFO’s in en uit vliegen.
Wanneer je dan beelden ziet zoals wij die regelmatig laten zien, waarbij onbekende vliegende objecten met enorme snelheid verdwijnen in een soort onweerswolk om er vervolgens niet meer uit te komen, dan is het niet zo vreemd om te veronderstellen dat we hier te maken hebben met een dimensieportaal.
Een toegangspoort die door buitenaardsen wordt gebruikt om met hun UFO’s op aarde aan te komen en/of te vertrekken, waardoor ze via die poorten de normale beperkingen van tijd en ruimte omzeilen en zo in "no time" andere delen van ons universum kunnen bereiken.
Een wormgat, ook bekend als een Einstein-Rosen brug, is een hypothetische mogelijkheid om binnen de ruimtetijd sneller dan het licht te reizen. In de normale ruimte kan men tussen twee punten niet sneller reizen dan het licht, maar volgens de theorie van een wormgat bestaat er een "korte weg" in het universum. Langs deze korte weg is het dan mogelijk om sneller naar een ander punt in de ruimte te reizen dan wanneer je zou "omreizen" over de normale weg, ook al zou je dat doen met de snelheid van het licht.
De term wormgat werd bedacht door de Amerikaanse theoretisch natuurkundige John Wheeler in 1957, maar het idee van wormgaten was al getheoretiseerd in 1921 door de Duitse wiskundige Hermann Weyl in verband met zijn analyse van de massa in termen van het elektromagnetisch veld.
De naam wormgat komt van de analogie die vroeger gebruikt werd om dit uit te leggen: beeld je in dat het universum de schil van een appel is, en een worm van de éne zijde van de appel naar de andere zijde wil geraken. Als de worm op de schil van de appel blijft is de kortste afstand de helft van de omtrek van de appel. Maar als de worm in plaats van rond te gaan, een gat (wormgat) graaft recht door de appel, is de afstand merkbaar minder, namelijk de diameter van de appel.
Dit zou dan ook verklaren hoe het kan dat buitenaardsen in een oogwenk naar andere planeten kunnen reizen.
Naast de vele voorbeelden die we hebben gezien met vreemde wolken, zijn er ook aanwijzingen dat ze dergelijke wormgaten gebruiken net buiten de atmosfeer in de ruimte rondom onze planeet.
Er komen regelmatig verhalen van mensen die bepaalde flitsen waarnemen aan de hemel. Het duurt maar kort en ze bestrijken ook maar een klein deel van de hemel. Omdat het zo snel gaat, is dit fenomeen ook heel moeilijk vast te leggen.
Degene die dat wel is gelukt, of die het gelukt is dit fenomeen op NASA beelden te vinden, is de bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1.
Zowel op vier als op vijf april 2017 slaagde hij erin om dergelijke flitsen uit de NASA beelden te halen en deze zien er dan als volgt uit:
Wat op de beelden verschijnt, lijkt geen natuurlijk fenomeen te zijn en het zijn ook geen meteorieten, want die verschijnen niet als een korte flits in de ruimte.
Op één van de beelden lijkt het wel alsof er letterlijk een deur wordt opengedaan naar iets anders.
Is dit een ander verschijnsel van wormgaten zoals die door buitenaardsen gebruikt zou kunnen worden of is er een andere verklaring voor dit fenomeen?
UFO sightings are still being reported at a near- record level, according to the survey.
In 2016, 1,131 UFO reports were officially filed in Canada, the fifth year in a row above 1,000 cases but down slightly from 1,267 UFO sightings reported in 2015.
Last year most UFO reports were recorded during the summer with June, July and August having a combined 37.7 per cent of all cases.
Most sighting reports were simple lights in the sky, known as Nocturnal Lights (54.9 per cent), and Close Encounters comprised less than one per cent of the total.
The most popular shape of UFO reported in 2016 was a simple point source of light.
Other shapes reported were Triangle, Ball, Cigar and Fireball.
The classic “flying saucer” was only reported 48 times or 5 per cent in 2016.
While the vast majority of cases reported to UFO groups and official agencies are of low Strangeness, some rather odd incidents are reported each year, the report states.
"Close Encounter cases are definitely in the minority, but some of these cases are extremely close indeed," it said.
A witness in Cornwall, P.E.I. reported that a thin, six-foot-tall, long fingered, white alien in a black suit appeared in his bedroom. The witness spoke to the alien, which then left by walking through a wall.
In One report from Quebec simply stated 'They contacted me.'

69 Years Ago A UFO Crashed In Aztec, Arizona In 1948, And Was Covered Up, Video, UFO Sighting News.
69 Years Ago A UFO Crashed In Aztec, Arizona In 1948, And Was Covered Up, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of crash: 1948 Location of crash: Aztec, Arizona, USA Its important to look back at the past UFO sightings, but especially at the UFO crashes that took place in history. Here is an in depth look at this crash, and how the evidence was overwhelming. Alien bodies and craft were found, and the public of course was kept in the dark. Scott C. Waring Report states: Source: (Credit: aztecufo.com) [go to original source] THE AZTEC RECOVERY 1948 It was the columnist Frank Scully who first alerted the world to sensational stories of recovered flying saucers and little men in his best-selling book Behind the Flying Saucers published in 1950. Scully claimed that up to that time there had been four such recoveries, one of which was alleged to have taken place around Aztec, New Mexico, when sixteen humanoid bodies were recovered together with their undamaged craft. According to Scully's informants, the disk that landed near Aztec was 99.99 feet in diameter, its exterior made of a light metal resembling aluminum but so durable that no amount of heat (up to 10,000 degrees was applied) or diamond-tipped drill had the slightest effect. The disk apparently incorporated large rings of metal which revolved around a central, stabilized cabin, using an unfamiliar gear ratio. There were no rivets, bolts, screws or signs of welding. Investigators were eventually able to gain entry. Scully was told, because of a fracture in one of the portholes, which they enlarged, revealing a knob inside the cabin which when pushed (with a pole) caused a hidden door to open. Sixteen small humanoids, ranging in height from 36 to 42 inches, were supposedly found dead inside the cabin, their bodies charred to a dark brown color. Scully was told that the craft landed undamaged, having landed under its own guidance. The craft was eventually dismantled, the investigators having discovered that it was manufactured in segments which fitted in grooves and were pinned together around the base. The complete cabin section, measuring 18 feet in diameter was lifted out of the base of the saucer, around which was a gear that fitted a gear on the cabin. These segments, together with the bodies, were then transported to Wright Field (Wright Patterson AFB). Some of the bodies were later dissected and examined by the Air Force, and were found to be similar in all respects to human beings, with the exception of their teeth, which were perfect. New Supportive Evidence? According to important information published by William Steinman in 1987 there is a large grain of truth in the Aztec story, and he has managed to acquire some astonishing supportive evidence. Like Scully, he is unwilling to divulge his sources, which inevitably lays him open to charges of fabrication. Steinman discovered that the Aztec disk came to earth on 25 March 1948, having been detected by three separate radar units in the southwest, one of which was said to have disrupted the craft's control mechanism. The area of impact was calculated by triangulation and this information was immediately relayed to Air Defense Command and Gen. George C. Marshall, then Secretary of State, who allegedly contacted the MJ-12 group as well as the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU) of the Army Counterintelligence Directorate. The IPU operated out of Camp Hale, Colorado, at this time, Steinman claims, and its main function was to collect and deliver disabled or crashed disks to certain specified secret locations. The craft was recovered within hours by the IPU scout team about 12 miles northeast of Aztec. General Marshall ordered Air Defense Command to go off alert status, and the radar units were advised that there had been a false alarm. Marshall then gave orders to the commander of the IPU to organize a recovery team and contacted Dr. Vannevar Bush - the. head of MJ-12 to gather together a team of scientists to accompany the IPU to the crash site. Steinman has named these scientists as follows: Dr., Lloyd Berkner, Dr. Detlev Bronk, Dr. Carl A. Heiland, Dr. Jerome Hunsaker, Dr. John von Neumann, Dr. Robert J. Oppenheimer, Dr. Merle A. Tuve, Dr. Horace B. van Vandenberg. Four of these scientists, it will be noted, were members of the original MJ-12 panel set up in September 1947. Dr. Carl A. Heiland was a geophysicist and magnetic sciences expert who was the head of the Colorado School of Mines, and according to Steinman leaked details of the recovery to one of Scully's sources, Leo GeBauer. Dr. Horace B. van Vandenberg was an inorganic chemist associated with the University of Colorado. Dr. Merle A. Tuve worked for the Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II, and is chiefly remembered as a geophysicist for his techniques of radio wave propagation of the upper atmosphere. Dr. Robert J. Oppenheimer distinguished himself primarily as leader of the Los Alamos atomic bomb project , commanding the allegiance of the world's top physicists. He was the Director of the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton from 1947 and became Chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission. Dr. John von Neumann, the famous Hungarian born mathematician, became a consultant on the atomic bomb (Manhatten Project) in 1943. His main area of expertise lay in the design and development of computers. The scientists, according to Steinman, were told by Dr. Bush to assemble at Durango Airfield, Colorado, 35 miles to the north of Aztec, with the minimum delay. All those involved in the recovery were sworn to an above top secret oath. The IPU convoy used a route to the site that avoided main roads, and on arrival road blocks were set up at strategic points within two miles of the recovery area. The owner of a ranch and his family were allegedly held incommunicado and told never to discuss the matter (cf. the Roswell incident). Equipment hauling trucks were camouflaged to look like oil drilling rigs during the operation. Inside the Craft A team of scientists arrived at the site a little later than the IPU team and began dissecting the disk. According to Steinman, they entered the craft one by one, entry having been gained via a fractured porthole as described in Scully's account. The portholes themselves looked metallic and only appeared translucent on close inspection. Inside the craft they found two humanoids, about two feet in height, slumped over an instrument panel charred deep brown. Another 12 bodies lay sprawled on the floor in chamber within the cabin, making a total of 14 bodies (not 16 as Scully had been told). An instrument panel supposedly had several pushbuttons and levers with hieroglyphic-type symbols, as well as symbols illuminated on small display screens. Bush and von Neumann discovered that the control panel had drawers which rolled out, but no wiring could be detected. A book composed of parchment-like leaves with the texture of plastic also contained the strange hieroglyphs - similar to Sanskrit, Oppenheimer thought. This was given to General Marshall, who then passed it on to two leading cryptological experts for analysis, William F. Friedman and Lambros C. Callihamos (who both later led distinguished careers in the National Security Agency). Dr. Bronk, a physiologist and biophysicist, examined the bodies and asked Bush to get hold of cryogenic equipment with which to preserve them. Cryogenics specialist Dr. Paul A. Scherer, a colleague of Bush's, was contacted and advised Bush to obtain some dry ice. Meanwhile, another small group of scientists and military personnel examined the craft and were eventually able to dismantle it when several interlocking key devices were found which opened up seams at specific points. Three days later the segments were loaded onto three trucks, together with the bodies, and transported with a tarpaulin marked "Explosives". The convoy headed at night by the least conspicuous and often most laborious route to the restricted Naval Auxiliary Airfield Complex at Los Alamos, arriving one week later. Here they remained for over a year, Steinman claims, before being transported to another base. The Bodies Dr. Paul A. Scherer eventually obtained special preservation containers for the least damaged bodies, Steinman relates. One of the companies which supplied equipment was the Air Research Corporation, of which Scherer was Director of Research and Development; it supplied the liquid nitrogen pump, circulation system and refrigeration units. Other specimens were given a complete autopsy, by a team headed by Dr. Bronk, of biophysicists, histochemists and pathologists. The results were put in a report, part of which, Steinman claims, appeared in the "Air Force Project Sign (Grudge) Report No. 13" which has never been released. According to the report, the bodies were described as averaging 42 inches in length. The facial features strongly resembled "mongoloid Orientals" in appearance, with disproportionately large heads, large "slant" eyes, small noses and mouths. The average weight was about 40 pounds. The torsos were very small and thin, with very thin necks. The arms were long and slender, reaching the knees, with hands containing long and slender fingers with webbing between them. There was no digestive or gastrointestinal tract, no alimentary or intestinal canal, and no rectal point. No reproductive organs were apparent. Instead of blood there was a colorless liquid with no red cells which smelled similar to ozone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Further Evidence Veteran researcher Leonard Stringfield, a former Air Force intelligence officer who is the world's leading specialist on what he calls "Retrievals of the Third Kind," shares my misgivings about some of the material in Steinman's book, but we are both impressed with his extensive research into the Aztec case. Stringfield has uncovered further evidence himself. Captain V. A. Postlethwait, who was on detached service with Army G-2 (Intelligence) in 1948, told Stringfield that he was cleared to see a top secret cable describing the crash of a saucer-shaped craft 100 feet in diameter and 30 feet high, with one porthole broken, causing suffocation to the five occupants - who had turned blue as a result. The bodies were about four feet tall with relatively large heads, Postlethwait recollects. The metallic skin of the saucer was too tough to penetrate, although as thin as newspaper. The incident was said to have occurred near White Sands, New Mexico. Aside from a few discrepancies there are some significant parallels with the Aztec case. Postlethwait revealed to Stringfield, for example, that private property was purchased to facilitate transporting the craft. Leonard Stringfield has also spoken with Dr. Robert Spencer Carr, a retired University of South Florida professor who claims to have testimonial evidence from five sources, including a nurse and a high-ranking Air Force officer who participated in the recovery of a crashed UFO and occupants in 1948 - presumed to be the one at Aztec (although there was another alleged recovery that year, just across the Mexican border near Laredo, Texas). In 1982 Stringfield asked Carr to disclose the name of his principal source, "on the premise that our ages give us little time tolerance in our search for truth." "When Professor Carr named his source," says Stringfield, "I sat back dumbfounded. I knew his name well in research, and recalled some of his comments on UFOs while he served as an Air Force officer. . . . "Please, Len," pleaded Carr, "keep the name to yourself; please spare me any trouble as long as I live . . . My key witness participated in the 1948 retrieval and saw alien bodies on location." According to Bill Steinman, two of Carr's sources were aeronautical engineers who provided important information regarding the saucer's construction and propulsion. A source now named is Arthur Bray (not to be confused with the Canadian researcher), a security guard involved with the recovery project. Carr also interviewed a woman whose father was present during the recovery. Information pertaining to the flying saucers must be suppressed, he told his daughter. "If news of this vehicle's water-driven engine got out to the whole scientific community, that would be the end of the oil industry." The comment is of course pure hearsay, but if there is any truth in it a further possible reason for the cover-up is brought to light. At the still fenced-off crash site on a plateau twelve miles northeast of Aztec, Bill Steinman has uncovered charred and scraped-off rocks of various sizes as well as some metal bracing struts that might possibly have been used for supporting the craft. On one of his visits to the area he was shadowed by two unmarked helicopters. As for George Bowra's claim that no one in Aztec, could recall the incident, Steinman has traced at least four people who knew where the crash site was located, one of whom, "V.A.," recalls that sometime between 1948 and 1950 a huge disk-shaped flying object with a dome on top skimmed about 100 feet above the ground not far from him. The witness pointed out to Steinman a cliff jutting above the Animas River. "That thing, or flying saucer, tried hard to clear that cliff, but it hit the very corner up there, shooting sparks and rocks in every direction," he claims. "Finally, it made a right-angle turn in midair and headed straight north in the direction of the alleged crash site at Hart Canyon. That's the last I saw of it. I ran into the house and called the military in Albuquerque. I never heard from them about it." Steinman first became interested in UFOs in 1981 when he read Frank Scully's book, and has since devoted much of his time and resources on the Aztec case and the other recoveries associated with Scully's claims, often in the face of discouraging odds. Steinman's job in quality assurance and analysis in the aerospace industry has aided him in probing the complex and intricate leads that he has pursued. Writing in the foreword to Steinman's book, UFO Crash at Aztec, Leonard Stringfield explains how, like many others, he was led to believe the Scully story was a hoax, his disbelief long being conditioned by a succession of ufologists who for years claimed that Scully "was duped by a scheming Silas Newton and his cohort, Leo Gebauer." But now, thanks to Bill Steinman's painstaking research (as well as some of his own leads), he has been obliged to reevaluate the evidence.

Date of sighting: March 15, 2017 Location of sighting: California, USA Source: MUFON #82604 This is an awesome video posted by Isaac Wilee (click to subscribe to him) of Youtube. The video shows a triangle craft that may be the new evolution of the TR3B, but it certainly isn't the old one, because the TR3B has one small light (for balance hovering) on each corner (white lights) and a larger light orb at its center (propulsion). Awesome video. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
"I pulled onto my street heading home and I noticed 3 bright lights in the sky. 2 red and one white flashing very fast. I recorded it for a few seconds from my car, until the video went out of focus, then pulled into my driveway and went inside to tell people to come look. My brother in law came outside and seen it as well. I started to record again and as I did it changed its white light to red and began pulsating slowly with the other 2 lights now turned off. It then flickered its lights and changed the red pulsating light back to white, continued to pulsate, and then went back to flashing again for the remainder of the time I watched. It eventually vanished."

UFO Fan Disappears Without A Trace – Leaving Coded Writings In His Room VIDEO
The mysterious disappearance of a UFO enthusiast in Brazil causes speculations of alien abductions. Bruno Borges left behind a locked room full of coded writings and bizarre photos of extra-terrestrials. The internet is convinced that Borges has been either nabbed by the Men in Black or aliens after he suddenly disappeared without telling his family.
Avideo inside the room of Borges shows notebooks with cryptic writings on the covers and symbols apparently associated with pentagrams.
Bruno’s relatives said that he did not reveal details of what he was working, but hinted that he was into writing a series of books, which, according to Bruno, would change humanity in a good way.
The family had not yet received substantial information on what has happened, according to Father Athors Borges, who also said that they tried to call him on his mobile phone, but it was off.
The family said that this is the first time Bruno disappears without a trace. Athors stated that his son did not take anything and he was leaving their home the last time they saw him.
This interesting footage of triangle UFO sighting was recorded over Barrie in Ontario Canada on 27th February 2017.

This past weekend I spoke at the annual Edinburg, Texas “Out Of This World” conference. The subject: mysterious deaths in the field of Ufology. During the course of the gig, one of the attendees asked – given the various books I have written – if I had a large database of material on UFO-themed cases, witness reports, and so on. Well, yes, I do. So, I figured that today I would share with you one of those reports. It demonstrates the undeniably bizarre nature of certain aspects of the UFO phenomenon. It also reveals how the subject has been manipulated for very strange purposes.
On September 2, 2014, I had an interesting chat with a retired employee of the U.S. Air Force. I’ll call him “Harry Palmer.” He contacted me to share a deeply odd story – and specifically after reading my 2011 book, The Real Men in Black. Palmer’s exposure to the UFO phenomenon occurred below Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The base in question is a highly secure military installation. It has a reputation for (allegedly) being the home of a number of well-preserved – and some not so well-preserved – corpses of dead aliens, presumably recovered from more than a few UFO crashes. Many UFO skeptics ignore or write-off such claims. Harry Palmer told me he knew better.
It was a winter’s night in 1988 when Palmer (27 at the time) was ordered to report to one particular building on the base that he had never previously been in, one which was connected to a certain weapons-storage area. On doing so, he was met by three very pale-skinned men dressed in dark suits. They directed him to a door which, when opened, revealed a large elevator on the other side. Silently, the black-clad trio motioned Palmer into the elevator. He quickly realized he was descending – and to a fairly deep degree. He was then ushered into a corridor which had a large vault-like door at its end.
One of the three men opened it, and in a strange high-pitched voice, ordered Palmer into the vault. The same man pointed at a large container – perhaps nine feet in length and five feet in width – and told Palmer to take a look inside. He did as he was told and was shocked – to the point of feeling nauseous and clammy – by the sight of a badly-damaged body of what he, Palmer, could only guess was an extraterrestrial. The head was large, the eyes were huge and black, and the severed and small torso was skinny.
Dead aliens
In seconds, Palmer was forcibly taken from the room, taken to yet another room, and then ordered to sign a document which effectively said that if he ever spoke of what he saw he would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for violating U.S. national security regulations. After signing the document, a worried Palmer was taken back up to the surface and left there to make his way back to his regular place of work.
Clearly, this affair makes absolutely no sense at all – unless someone was playing weird mind-games with Palmer, which I think was probably the case, as I will soon reveal. It’s a fact that UFOs had zero bearing on Palmer’s work at Wright-Patterson. So, why expose him to something so astonishing that, in all probability, he would one day share the story with people – like his family and, in 2014, me?
My view on all this is that Palmer was shown the body (or, far more likely, an expertly-created model) to determine his loyalty. It may have been intended all along for him to see “it.” If Palmer kept quiet about what he saw, he was a good military man and someone considered trustworthy. If he told his family of what he had seen, he was, maybe, a potential security risk and needed to be watched carefully. And if he ran to a Soviet handler, it was jail-time. But, the important thing to remember is that no real secret would ever have been compromised: it was all a ruse and a test of loyalty.
On this thought-provoking matter/theory, Palmer told me he was assigned to a particularly sensitive non-UFO project (a description of which he did not expand on) just five days before seeing the body in the container. With that latter, notable issue in my mind, I strongly suspect that the body seen by Palmer was not real. The whole thing was a staged event. It was designed to see how – and to what extent – Palmer could be trusted.
If true, this saga may very well help to explain some of the highly controversial stories concerning military personnel who have reportedly been exposed to alleged alien bodies in underground rooms (such as the many “Hangar 18” legends attached to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), and under “convenient” and unlikely circumstances that many skeptical researchers think are just too good to be true. They probably are too good to be true. But not for the reasons that the skeptics think. This case also suggests that intelligence agents might, at times, mimic the actions and creepy appearances of the MIB – which is a story for another day.
When an extraterrestrial dies on Earth and can’t be taken back to the home planet, where do the mourning ETs bury their friend? Would you believe … Ohio? A UFO was spotted…
Well, with Men in Black 3 finally among us, I figured that now would be the time to share with you a very weird story of definitive MIB proportions, which was brought to…
The dark night of Saturday, September 11, 1976 was the decidedly ill-fated evening upon which the Orchard Beach, Maine, USA home of a certain Dr. Herbert Hopkins was darkened by a nightmarish MIB….
At 10:49pm Western Australian time on February 2 this year, cosmic gamma rays hit the Nasa satellite, Swift, orbiting the Earth. Within seconds of the detection, an alert was automatically sent to the University of WA's Zadko Telescope. It swung into robotic action, taking images of the sky location in the constellation Ophiuchus.
What emerged from the blackness, where nothing was seen before, was a rapidly brightening "optical transient", which is something visible in the sky for a brief period of time.
The event, named GRB170202, was a very energetic gamma ray burst (GRB). After less than a minute, the gamma rays switched off, and the GRB appeared as a brightening and then fading optical beacon.
The Zadko Telescope recorded the entire evolution of the optical outburst. During its biggest outburst, GRB170202 was equivalent in brightness to millions of stars shining together from the same location.
About 9 hours 42 mins after the GRB, the Very Large Telescope in Chile acquired the spectrum of the light from the optical afterglow.
This enabled a distance to the burst to be measured: about 12 billion light years. The universe has expanded to four times the size it was then, 12 billion years ago, the time it took the light to reach Earth.
GRB170202 was so far away, even its host galaxy was not visible, just darkness. Because the GRB was a transient, never to be seen again, it is like turning on a light in a dark room (the host galaxy) and trying to record the detail in the room before the light goes out.
Mystery of gamma ray burst
The flash of gamma radiation and subsequent optical transient is the telltale signature of a black hole birth from the cataclysmic collapse of a star. Such events are rare and require some special circumstances, including a very massive star up to tens of solar masses (the mass of our Sun) rotating rapidly with a strong magnetic field.
These ingredients are crucial to launch two jets that punch through the collapsing star to produce the gamma ray burst (see animation). The closest analogue (and better understood transient) to a GRB is a supernova explosion from a collapsing star. In fact, some relatively nearby GRBs reveal evidence of an energetic supernova linked to the event.
Simulations show that most collapsing stars don't have enough energy to produce a GRB jet, a so-called "failure to launch" scenario. Both observation and theory show that GRBs are extremely rare when compared to the occurrence of supernovae.

fast radio burst
The stars that produce GRBs are born and die within some tens to hundreds of thousands of years, unlike our Sun which has been around for billions of years. This is because very massive stars exhaust their fuel very quickly, and undergo violent gravitational collapse leading to a black hole, on the timescale of seconds.
A plethora of rogue black holes
The rates of black hole formation throughout the universe can be inferred from the GRB rate. Based on the observed GRB rate, there must be thousands of black hole births occurring each day throughout the entire universe.
So what is the fate of these cosmic monsters? Most will be lurking in their host galaxies, occasionally devouring stars and planets.
Others will be in a gravitational death dance with other black holes until they merge into a single black hole with a burst of gravitational waves (GWs), such as the first discovery of such an event by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO).
At the frontier of understanding black hole formation is the search for a special kind of GRB that marks the merger (collision) of two neutron stars. So called "short GRBs" are flashes of gamma radiation that last less than a second and could be the "smoking gun" for neutron star mergers.

black hole
Importantly, merging neutron stars should be detected from their gravitational radiation by LIGO. Hence, a coincident detection in gamma rays, optical and gravitational waves is a real possibility.
This would be a monumental discovery allowing unprecedented insight into the physics of black hole formation. The revolution is like listening to the radio on a 1920s receiver and then watching a modern high definition surround sound movie.
Future challenges
Given the above rate of thousands of black holes created per day, it seems that coincident detection of GRBs and gravitational waves is a no brainer.
But in reality we must take into account the limited sensitivity of all the telescopes (and detectors). This reduces the potential observation rate to some tens per year. This is high enough to inspire a global scramble to search for the first coincident gravitational wave sources with electromagnetic counterparts.
The task is extremely difficult because the gravitational wave observatories cannot pinpoint the location of the source very well. To counter this, a strategy of searching for coincident gravitational wave and electromagnetic detections in time may be the best bet.
The newly funded ARC Centre of Excellence OzGrav mission is to understand the extreme physics of black holes.
One of the goals is to search for optical, radio and high energy counterparts coincident with gravitational waves from black hole creation. Australia is poised to play a significant role in this new era of "multi-messenger astronomy".

Iron Man-Style Exosuit Turns Inventor into Real-Life Superhero
Iron Man-Style Exosuit Turns Inventor into Real-Life Superhero
By Tereza Pultarova, Live Science Contributor
The so-called Daedalus suit is a jet engine-powered exosuit developed by amateur inventor Richard Browning.

Residents of the quiet town of Salisbury, in the south of England, had no clue until last week that their neighbor, a 38-year-old oil trader named Richard Browning, is a real-life Iron Man in the making.
The amateur inventor had been secretly building a jet engine-powered exoskeleton suit, and he recently unveiled how the futuristic ensemble enables him to hover in the air like a superhero.
Despite the noisiness of the technology, which consists of three sets of miniature jet engines attached to the arms and the back, Browning managed to keep the work completely under wraps. For 18 months, he had been experimenting in his garage, trying to figure out the optimal number and position of the jet engines toallow him to fly with a minimal amount of equipment. [Humanoid Robots to Flying Cars: 10 Coolest DARPA Projects]
"The philosophy behind all this was: Could we reimagine how a really raw form of human flight would work?" Browning told Live Science.
"The human body is very good at being trained to do specific things, and it's a useful structure, and the human mind is a pretty amazing machine. So, we had this idea — rather than go and rely on aluminum structures to build the machine, rely on gyros and computers in order to achieve stability, why not rely on the human machine, keep it as raw and original as possible?"
Browning, a former marine reservist who runs ultramarathons and performs calisthenics stunts, admitted that piloting the device takes quite a lot of personal strength and body coordination. There is no steering mechanism, and speed and direction can be adjusted only by changing the direction of the engines' thrust, solely using upper-body strength.
"You have a trigger at your right hand, which controls the arm engines, and you have a trigger at your left hand, which controls the rear engines," said Browning. The inventor added that he was inspired to create the suit by the Greek myth of Daedalus, who made himself wings to escape from captivity. The suit takes its name from the myth.
"You preset the power levels. Your arms are held out, and as you then line them up vertically and direct them towards the ground, all the thrust vectors [thrust vector is the direction in which the engine produces force] start lining up and you achieve lift-off. When you want to go down, you flail your arms again."
Browning, who recently established a company called Gravity, said he hopes to further enhance the technology. Currently, he can stay in the air for up to 10 minutes using the exosuit. Browning said he thinks he could eventually fly more than 60 mph (100 km/h) and to an altitude of about 330 feet (100 meters), but so far, the inventor has kept his superhero experiments at a running speed of about 5 mph (8 km/h) and an altitude of only 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 m) above the ground.
The next phase of the project will focus on improving the suit's performance, and that work will include experimenting with longer flights, Browning said.
"There is also some parallel development going on with airbag technology and parachute technology to enhance safety and allow us to fly higher — for example, above water," he added.
Since the unveiling of his innovation, Browning has been flooded not only with invitations to demonstrate the technology at high-profile events but also with queries from daredevils and wealthy technology lovers keen to have their own Iron Man-style flying suits, the inventor said.
"The cost is about $250,000, so it's something that you could buy instead of a Lamborghini," Browning said. "It's not intended for the mass market at this stage."
The next generation of the Daedalus suit will most likely have a suspension mechanism that would make maneuvering the technology easier, even for people with less physical strength than Browning, he said.
"It's really an amazing piece of engineering," said Pete Wood, a tech enthusiast and digital marketing manager at RS Components, a global supplier of industrial components and tools. RS Components is helping Browning to fine-tune the technology and streamline the circuit boards controlling the Daedalus suit's jets.
"Right now, it's more about displays, but I can imagine in [the] future, it could be used by the emergency services, for example," Wood said, hinting at a future of flying firemen rescuing people trapped in burning fifth-floor apartments in superhero style.
NASA/JPL-CaltechAn illustration of the Cassini spacecraft over Saturn’s north pole with its hexagon-shaped storm.
The Cassini spacecraft, which launched toward Saturn in 1997, is running very low on fuel.
To avoid running out and accidentally crashing into and contaminating a nearby moon that may harbour alien life, NASA is going to destroy the robot.
Before Cassini perishes, however, it will fly between Saturn and its rings and record as much new data as possible.
For nearly three decades, researchers have worked to design, build, launch, and operate an unprecedented mission to explore Saturn.
Called Cassini-Huygens — or Cassini for short — the golden nuclear-powered spacecraft launched in October 1997, fell into orbit around the gas giant in July 2004, and has been documenting the planet and its dizzying variety of moons ever since.
But all good things must come to an end. And for NASA’s $US3.26 billion probe, that day is Friday, September 15, 2017.
During a press conference held by the US space agency on April 4, researchers explained why they’re killing off their cherished spacecraft with what they call the “Grand Finale.” The manoeuvre will use up the fleeting reserves of Cassini’s fuel, putting it on a collision course with Saturn.
“Cassini’s own discoveries were its demise,” said Earl Maize, an engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) who manages the Cassini mission.
Maize was referring to a warm, saltwater ocean that Cassini found hiding beneath the icy crust of Enceladus, a large moon of Saturn that spews water into space. NASA’s probe flew through these curtain-like jets of vapour and ice in October 2015, “tasted” the material, and indirectly discovered the subsurface ocean’s composition — and it’s one that may support alien life.
“We cannot risk an inadvertent contact with that pristine body,” Maize said. “Cassini has got to be put safely away. And since we wanted to stay at Saturn, the only choice was to destroy it in some controlled fashion.”
However, Maize and a collaboration of researchers from 19 nations aren’t going to let their plucky probe go down without a fight.
They plan to squeeze every last byte of data they can from the robot, right up until Cassini turns into a brilliant radioactive comet above the swirling storms of Saturn.
‘We’re going in, and we’re not coming out’
Long before Cassini began orbiting Saturn in 2004, mission managers carefully plotted out its orbits to squeeze in as many flybys of the gas giant planet, its moons, and its expansive icy rings as possible.
Their goal: get lots of chances to record unprecedented new images, gravitational data, and magnetic readings without putting the spacecraft into harm’s way or burning up too much of its limited propellant.
But after 13 years of operation at nearly 1 billion miles (1.45 billion kilometers) away from Earth, Cassini’s tank is running close to empty.
“We’re coming to the end. As it runs out of fuel, the things it can do are quite limited — until we decided on a new approach,” Jim Green, the leader of NASA’s planetary science program, said during the press conference.
NASA could have propelled Cassini to some other planet — perhaps Uranus or Neptune. But in 2010, mission managers decided to keep it around Saturn, reasoning they could squeeze more science out of the mission there. However, this effectively doomed the spacecraft to a fiery death.
Cassini’s death spiral will officially begin on April 22, 2017. That’s when it will, for the last time, fly by Titan: an icy moon of Saturn that’s bigger than our own, has a thick atmosphere, seas of liquid methane, and even rain.
Titan’s gravity will slingshot Cassini over Saturn, above the planet’s atmosphere, and — on April 26 — through a narrow void between the planet and the innermost edge of its rings.
“That last ‘kiss goodbye’ will put Cassini into Saturn,” Maize said. “This is a roller coaster ride. We’re going in, and we are not coming out — it’s a one-way trip.”
The void between Saturn and its rings is about 1,200 miles wide, or roughly the distance from northern Washington state to the southern tip of California.
“As we’re skimming close to the planet, we’ll have the best views ever of the poles of the planet,” Linda Spilker, a Cassini project scientist and a planetary scientist at NASA JPL, said during the press briefing. “We’ll see the giant hurricanes at the north and south poles.”
During its final orbits above Saturn, Cassini will get its closest-ever views of the hexagon-shaped feature of Saturn’s north pole, which Spilker said is “two Earth diameters across” yet poorly understood.
“Perhaps by getting close with Cassini, we’ll answer the question, ‘What keeps the hexagon there in this particular shape?'” she said.
Spilker said Cassini will also photograph the auroras of Saturn’s poles, measure how massive the planet’s rings are, “taste” the icy material they’re made of, and even probe deep below its thick clouds to see how big its rocky core is.
Sensitive magnetic and gravitational measurements that Cassini couldn’t make before may also answer lingering questions about the internal structure of Saturn, including how big its rocky core is, plus how fast a shell of metallic hydrogen around it spins.
“How fast is Saturn rotating?” Spilker asked. “If there’s just a slight tilt to the magnetic field, then it will wobble around and give us the length of a day.”
Hours before it takes its final plunge on September 15, 2017, Cassini will beam back its last batch of images — then prepare for the end.
The fiery end of a long-time robotic friend
Cassini is a 2.78-ton robot with delicate instruments that was not designed to ram into icy ring material at 70,000 mph. It also wasn’t made to plunge into the thick atmosphere of a gas giant and live to tell the tale.
Nevertheless, scientists behind the mission say they are going to do their best to shield its instruments from damage and keep the data flowing until the moment it dies.
NASAThe Cassini spacecraft being prepared for flight in 1997.
They will do this primarily by using the cone-shaped primary antenna as a shield to protect cameras, magnetometers, and more.
“If we get surprised, well, we’ve got a bunch of contingency plans … We’ll milk the best out of this,” Maize said. He added that even if icy bits take out Cassini’s ability to talk to Earth, the spacecraft “will still finish out exactly where we planned, but we’ll have a little less science than we hoped for.”
When Cassini begins its final plunge, it will use its last propellant to fight atmospheric drag and keep the antenna pointed at Earth. During that time, it will “taste” the composition of Saturn’s atmosphere as it descends into the gases, broadcasting its readings in real-time back to satellite dishes on Earth.
But the measurements won’t last long.
“It will break apart, it will melt, it will vaporise, and it will become a very part of the planet it left Earth 20 years ago to explore,” Maize said.
While members of the Cassini team said they’re looking forward to the Grand Finale, they weren’t without remorse.
“It’s really going to be hard to say goodbye … to this plucky, capable little spacecraft that has returned all of this great science,” Spilker said. We’ve flown together a long time.”
ANNOUNCEMENT: Scientists have found an 'atmosphere' on another planet for the first time
The Earth-sized planet orbiting a dim star 39 light years away has a hazy atmosphere which could indicate the presence of a “water world”, scientists claim.
And the planet, named as GJ 1132b, may have a hot, steamy atmosphere perfect for harbouring life.
It discovered back in 2015 but this is the first time astronomers have been able to detect an atmosphere surrounding a small rocky planet.
GETTY
ALIEN: The planet, GJ 1132b, is believed to be a 'water world' which could host life
Before this they have only been able to detect atmospheres of giant gas planets which are not likely to have life.
Now a new generation of powerful telescopes is making the search for life outside out Solar System much more likely to end up with success.
The “super-Earth” planet was observed as it passed in front of a cool red dwarf star, blocking out some of the star’s light.
Dr John Southworth, who led the team from the University of Keele, said: "The detection of an atmosphere around the super-Earth GJ 1132b marks the first time that an atmosphere has been detected around an Earth-like planet other than Earth itself.
"With this research, we have taken the first tentative step into studying the atmospheres of smaller, Earth-like planets.
"We simulated a range of possible atmospheres for this planet, finding that those rich in water and/or methane would explain the observations of GJ 1132b.
"The planet is significantly hotter and a bit larger than Earth, so one possibility is that it is a 'water world' with an atmosphere of hot steam."
Former astronaut claims that aliens are WATCHING us
By measuring the slight drop in the star's brightness, astronomers were able to work out that the planet was 1.4 times the size of Earth.
They also found that in one light wavelength band, the planet looked slightly bigger.
This could be explained by an atmosphere that was opaque to some light wavelengths, but transparent to others.
They are now hope to analyse the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres to yield tell-tale signs of life.
Ozone, derived from oxygen released by plants, can support life as well as methane.
Scientists are also hoping to discover new planetary systems like ours to find alien life.
Trappist-1 has seven Earth-like planets orbiting a star similar to our Sun.

If we finally find alien life, will it be anything like the movies?
If we finally find alien life, will it be anything like the movies?
How realistic is Hollywood's most famous extraterrestrial?
(Universal Pictures)
Last night's Stargazing Live revealed four newly-discovered planets orbiting a distant star. Discoveries like this are hugely exciting because they hold out the tantalising prospect of planets harbouring alien life.
But if we ever do encounter aliens, what will they be like? Have we been well prepared, or led down an intergalactic garden path, by all the little green men that litter the history of cinema?
The two co-hosts of ABC podcast Cosmic Vertigo, Dr Amanda Bauer and Dr Alan Duffy, are astronomers but also sci-fi fans. In the latest episode, they discuss the search for alien life.
So we asked them, as scientists: What is your all-time favourite movie alien?
Amanda: E.T. Full stop.
Alan: Oh, come on! Really?
Amanda: Look, I think a test of a good sci-fi film is how well it ages, and while I'm slightly hesitant to admit this — I watched E.T. recently and cried. And laughed. And got goosebumps all the way through and felt nostalgic for all those times I watched it as a kid. Sure, it's far-fetched that an alien species would look so similar to humans and be so incredibly cute... It's just a great movie!
And then there's WALL-E, who looks oddly similar to E.T. now I think about it. Maybe I just like the friendly ones, instead of all those aliens who visit Earth only to have humans jump to evil conclusions and inevitable misunderstandings and then OMG THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY US, WE MUST DESTROY THEM FIRST.
Alan: WALL-E is not even an alien.
The one and only WALL-E
Amanda: I guess you're right. Fine! I'm clearly not the sci-fi expert you are...
Alan: I'm definitely a fan. And I think it's an incredible way to present great science to many millions of people. There are wonderful examples of films getting the science right.
Take Gravity, Interstellar and 2001: A Space Odyssey. They didn't get absolutely everything right, but some of their most accurate scenes are also some of the most engaging. Wonderful cinematic moments and wonderful scientific demonstrations at the same time.
Like all the micro-gravity scenes in Gravity — full of the tension of just being out of reach, powerless to propel yourself forward without being able to interact with another object. This is beautifully realised Newtonian dynamics! And in a setting that not even Isaac Newton could have imagined.
Feeling the effects of Gravity
Amanda: Wait, am I allowed to talk about where Gravity got it WRONG now? They rendered the Hubble Space Telescope and the Soyuz Spacecraft beautifully — but the chance of the astronauts cruising between the two spacecraft, whose orbits above Earth differ by 140 kilometres in height, with nothing but jet-pack propulsion, and then just grabbing on?! Nope. Not possible.
Alan: OK then, let's talk Interstellar. The modelling they used to depict that black hole was so involved that a new effect was noticed: the halo-like warping of the glowing accretion disk around the black hole. It was written up in a scientific journal by the movie's science advisor Professor Kip Thorne!
Amanda: Yeah, that was cool. My first university summer research project started by reading Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy. The book started with a short sci-fi story about what you would experience if you flew your spacecraft near a small black hole versus a supermassive black hole, and then continued by explaining all the physics and general relativity that lead to why we think those things actually exist. It was awesome.
The black hole (top right) in Interstellar was very carefully simulated.
(Paramount Pictures)
Alan: And what about the ultimate masterpiece? 2001: A Space Odyssey. The rotating spacecraft that mimics Earth-like gravity because of its centripetal acceleration, or the wondrous silence punctuated by moments where air pressure (and hence sound) return; they all add to the film, while faithfully exploring scientific concepts in front of a huge audience.
Amanda: Love the music, love the ideas... But this film also creeped me out about artificial intelligence in a way that I'm still not completely comfortable with!
Anyway — let's get this back to aliens. If you're such an expert, what's YOUR favourite move alien?
Alan: That's tricky. Space is sometimes explored really well in the movies, but the fictional aliens that live there are usually much less convincing.
The common plot line, where aliens are so advanced as to travel hundreds of trillions of kilometres between the stars and then invade us, is just bizarre! Why harvest the resources on Earth when there is so much more available — and already in bite-sized chunks — lying in the asteroid belt?
Amanda: True. And you guys, in your enormous ships, flew right past all those asteroids to get here!
Alan: I'm looking at you, Independence Day. Don't get me wrong, I loved it! Just not for the science. And it's a shame they never made a sequel. EVER. Independence Day 2 never happened.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey has some indelible moments
Amanda: Even if they did decide to come and fill their alien bellies on Earth — would it do them any good? And why is it always us, and not any of rest of the life on Earth? Why do they never start with some nice fruit or vegetables?
Alan: That's true. The idea that the aliens can somehow use our bodies is incredibly unlikely.
Considering that we share most of our DNA with life on Earth, and yet are violently sick (at best) if we try to eat almost any of it — then how would an alien from space, which shares none of that DNA, possibly be able to eat us? Let alone, as in Aliens, go one step further and use us as a host, or even somehow take DNA characteristics from that host! Remember the dog-alien?
Amanda: But there are some great movies about aliens. Like the ones where we don't actually meet each other! After all, the distances are so vast that our bodies probably won't make the trip.
Alan: Unless Interstellar is right and wormholes exist! And, sure, they're technically allowed by physics, just... highly suspect.
Amanda: But instead of meeting face-to-face, maybe we will communicate. Like in Contact — I love that movie. It's a wonderful description of the way we might uncover such a signal, and it's a great exploration of the range of responses from the public too.
Contact came out when I first started studying physics and I constantly got told, "You remind me of that lady in the movie with the headsets..." Jodie Foster? "YES!"
"The movie with the headsets": Contact
But by the time I started teaching, the students were too young to have seen that movie. Sad.
Alan: Just last year we had an update on that style of movie — Arrival, which I completely loved. It has a strong female lead scientist, and a great depiction of how diverse communication can be. Also it shows how challenging it will be to recognise it, if we do hear anything with our radio telescopes!
And we are certainly listening. Telescopes around the world, including the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, are looking for just this sort of signal as part of the Breakthrough Listen project. The science is finally catching up with the science fiction.
Amanda: Maybe our search for life in the universe, in reality and in the movies, is more about understanding what makes it possible here on Earth — and gaining insight into ourselves.
Alan: Totally. When we explore space and contact aliens in film, what we're really projecting onto the big screen is us.
