A New Map of Mars, Made From 51,000 Orbital Images
A New Map of Mars, Made From 51,000 Orbital Images
When NASA sent the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to the red planet in 2006, the spacecraft took an instrument with it called CRISM—Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars. CRISM’s job is to produce maps of Mars’ surface mineralogy. It’s been an enormous success, but unfortunately, the loss of its last cryocooler in 2017 means the spectrometer can only undertake limited observations.
But CRISM is going out with a bang, creating one final image of the surface of Mars that NASA will release in batches over the next six months.
“It’s effectively a whole new data set that will fuel a second wave of discoveries about Mars’ surface composition.”
Scott Murchie, CRISM’s principal investigator, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL).
The new map will cover 86% of Mars’ surface. It’ll be 5.6 gigapixels in size and will reveal the locations of dozens of important minerals in 72 colours. Since many minerals form in the presence of water, the locations of certain minerals reveal evidence of Mars’ watery past. The new map will also help plan future missions and choose the most promising locations for rovers to visit.
Jezero Crater on Mars was the landing site for NASA’s Mars 2020 rover. The colours in this image show surface minerals detected by CRISM, which helped identify the crater as a desirable landing site. The green colour represents carbonates, which are good at preserving fossils. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU
We already have the first portions of the new map. The final version of the map will contain about 51,000 540-kilometre-long strips, contained in 1764 tiles. In mid-June, NASA released 48 of those tiles, and they cover five of Mars’ most scientifically interesting regions.
The final map is a whole new data set and the first of its kind. The data has been gathered over the mission’s years but has never been put together, though mission scientists had this project in the back of their minds. “We’ve had the map tiles as a product set on the books really from the very beginning,” said Frank Seelos, a planetary scientist at APL and lead on the CRISM mapping project. “We knew we wanted to do this, but it took us many, many years to get to the point where we had enough data and the tools needed to make it worthwhile.”
A near-global map of Mars, composed of nearly 51,000 mapping strips mosaicked into 1,764 tiles. The grid overlay shows the boundaries of the individual tiles. An additional 100 tiles in each polar region — not included here — are being processed separately. The map shows familiar large-scale surface brightness patterns, largely governed by the distribution of bright-red iron oxide-bearing dust. Darker, relatively dust-free regions consist of impact-fragmented crustal rock and wind-blown sand. The Nili Fossae region, where the Mars 2020 (Perseverance) rover is exploring Jezero Crater near the top-right quadrant, is indicated by the yellow box in the center-right part of the map. It’s also the location of the leading image. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Johns Hopkins APL
CRISM has made about 33,000 high-resolution images over the years, and they’ve helped identify landing sites for rover missions, and also inform the future Mars Sample Return mission. But while it was doing that work, it was also gathering lower-resolution mapping strips, about 83,000 of them. Now that CRISM is no longer active, the team is building their map from those strips.
This four-panel montage shows different aspects of the tile mosaic composed of data collected over the Nili Fossae region from the yellow rectangle in the larger image preceding it. Top left: An approximate natural colour rendering of Mars’ surface. Top right: Synthetic colour composite showing variation in iron mineralogy, with iron oxide appearing in red, iron-bearing minerals (e.g., olivine, high-calcium pyroxene) in blue, and low-calcium pyroxene in cyan. Bottom left: Water-altered iron- and magnesium-rich phyllosilicate clays, as well as some carbonates, with warm colours indicating a stronger feature. Bottom right: Synthetic colour composite showing the variation of unaltered igneous minerals, with olivine (red), low-calcium pyroxene (green), high-calcium pyroxene (blue), and mineral mixtures (other non-primary colours).

Processing this much data into one cohesive map is a complicated task requiring powerful computing resources. It takes time to optimize the maps and account for environmental conditions and discrepancies between the different images. “For an individual tile, the optimization process might take just five hours in some exceptional cases, but sometimes it will take over a day,” said CRISM team member Katie Hancock, a software developer at APL who spearheaded the development of the optimization code. In a press release from JH/UAPL, Hancock said that it could take a computer cluster a month to build the map of the entire planet.
The map will be important for years to come and will fuel future discoveries about Mars. “It’s effectively a whole new data set that will fuel a second wave of discoveries about Mars’ surface composition,” said Scott Murchie, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and CRISM’s principal investigator. “In fact, one of the objectives of the next MRO extended mission is for its HiRISE camera to go back and image in colour the hundreds of new high-science priority spots we’re finding on the map — spots that haven’t been imaged at high resolution because their importance wasn’t known.”
CRISM is still operational in a limited way. Without a cryocooler, it can’t perform infrared observations and will be limited to visible light operations. It’s in standby mode right now and is on deck until it’s decommissioned in a few months.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is still going strong and has exceeded its planned mission length by several years. In 2018 NASA said it wants to keep the spacecraft operating through the late 2020s, at least. One of the obstacles to greater longevity is its aging gyroscopes, but NASA said they can rely on stellar navigation to maintain the spacecraft’s orientation. MRO’s HiRISE camera has captured almost 70,000 high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. It doesn’t rely on a cryocooler so as long as MRO is operating, we’ll still be seeing stunning visible light images of Mars.
The ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter is still operating at Mars, too, and it carries its own spectrometer. The Infrared Mineralogical Mapping Spectrometer, or Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activit (OMEGA) also uses near-infrared to map mineral concentrations on the Martian surface.
Frank Seelos, the lead on the CRISM mapping project, points out that the mission has been a success and the instrument doesn’t need to contribute any more than it has already to be a big part of Mars’ exploration.
“The warranty on this thing expired years ago before my kids were even born,” Seelos said. “The CRISM investigation has been very long-lived, and the fact that we were able to take data for so many years is amazing. The release of these tiles is a kind of exclamation point for the instrument’s legacy.”
CRISM has left its mark on multiple missions to Mars. This is an image of Mars’ Santa Maria Crater from Orbit. NASA’s Opportunity rover arrived at the western rim of Santa Maria Crater, some 90 meters wide, on Dec. 16, 2010, at a spot called “Palos”. Opportunity then drove in a counterclockwise direction to a spot called “Wanahani” at the southern edge. Researchers used data collected by CRISM to direct Opportunity’s route to Endeavour crater. Spectral observations recorded by CRISM indicated the presence of water-bearing sulphate minerals at the location shown by the red dot on the southeast rim crater. This image was taken by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera also on MRO. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona.
“The CRISM investigation has been one of the crown jewels of NASA’s MRO mission,” said Richard Zurek, the mission’s project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Analyses based on these final maps will provide new insights into the history of Mars for many years to come.”
If you’d like to take a deeper look at what CRISM shows us about the minerals on Mars’ surface, visit JHUAPL’s MICA site. MICA is a downloadable set of published descriptions and type locations of unique spectral features identified on Mars by using data from CRISM. It was published in 2019.
70 Meter Dark Entrance Found On Crater On Google Moon Map, June 29, 2022, UFO Sighting News.
70 Meter Dark Entrance Found On Crater On Google Moon Map, June 29, 2022, UFO Sighting News.
LOL, I just found this after finding the blue planet object on Google Sky. I just switched over and 5 min later found this on the moon. The dark black square is 70 meters by 70 meters according to google ruler. However this is also some thick framing around it which causes me to think this is an entrance and exit point for small craft to reach inside the moon. You see, the moon is hollow, an Apollo mission which measured the echo of a lander rocket recorded that the moon is hollow. So with that point made, this 70 meter dark square with the think frame does appear to be an open doorway. This is 100% proof that intelligent life exists below the surface of the moon.

Giant Blue Matter On Google Sky Map May Be Intelligently Made Planet, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: June 29, 2022
Location of discovery: far right of Horesehead Nebula
Coordinates: -2.759860° -88.686101°
I was looking over Google Sky map, which is free and comes with the Google Earth map. You only need to click on the Satern icon on the top center of the Google map to move to Sky map or moon maps.
Here I found a strange object which I believe to be fake land. I believe that aliens can create planetary matter but in any design or shape that they see as being more useful to them. Here is a scattering of matter, blue and made to act like a planet. The object has lights in front of it due to planets an stars seen between us and it. It is not transparent.
We see life and existence as a lower life form would...simple with simplistic answers, however the depth of possibilities is endless and this object is space is no Nebula its something created by intelligent beings.

San Diego, California Skies light up with lights over ocean, June 27, 2022, 2 Videos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:June 27, 2022 Location of sighting: San Diego, California, USA
An unusual line of lights lit up the California city of San Diego a few days ago. The lights are similar to the ones seen by thousands of people over Phoenix, Arizona back in March 13, 1997 where long lines of lights were seen in the sky over the city. Well it looks like those aliens are back and they are near San Diego, but over the ocean area. This seems to indicate there may be an alien base somewhere in the ocean near San Diego, which would explain a lot of the earth quakes that they have been having over the years. The US military has denied that any exercises took place, so that rules out flare, but then again flares only last minutes, this sighting lasted almost an hour!
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
Its still happening, going on about an hour now. Multiple floating lights over the ocean. Very still, very bright. Orange reddish lights. Pattersn of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6."
Alien civilizations from level 1 to level 7 - We are only at level 0.72
Alien civilizations from level 1 to level 7 - We are only at level 0.72
The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use. The measure was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964.The scale is hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale.
Kardashev's has given rise to numerous scenarios exploring the possibility of more evolved civilizations. These scenarios each question in their own way, defining a civilization: energy sources, technology and the transmission of interstellar messages.
The purpose of this classification is to guide the search for extraterrestrial civilizations, particularly within SETI, in which Kardashev participated, and this on the assumption that a fraction of the energy used by each type is intended to communicate with other civilizations.
To make this scale more understandable, they compare the speed of transmission across the galaxy of a volume of information equivalent to a medium-sized library.
For example:
A type 2 civilization can send this data by means of a transmission beam emitting for only 100 seconds. A similar amount of information can be sent across intergalactic distances of about ten million light years, with a transmission time of several weeks.
A type 3 civilization can transmit this same amount of data to the entire observable universe with a transmission time of 3 seconds.
Kardashev believes that it will take humanity 3,200 years to reach Type 2, and 5,800 years to reach Type 3, but physicist and futurist Michio Kaku suggested that, if humans increase their energy consumption at an average rate of 3 percent each year, they may attain Type 1 status in 100–200 years, Type 2 status in a few thousand years, and Type 3 status in 100,000 to a million years.
A Type I civilization is usually defined as one that can harness all the energy that reaches its home planet from its parent star.
A Type 2 civilization is capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star, or example, by means of the successful completion of a Dyson sphere or Matrioshka brain.
Note 1: A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its solar power output.
Note 2: A Matrioshka brain is a hypothetical megastructure of immense computational capacity powered by a Dyson sphere. It is an example of a class-B stellar engine, employing the entire energy output of a star to drive computer systems.
A Type 3 civilization is in possession of energy at the scale of its own galaxy. Civilizations of this type as having access to power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy.
A Type 4civilization can control or use the entire universe while
a Type 5 civilization can control collections of universes as well as there is
a Type 6 multidimensional civilization
a Type 7 creator civilization what is discussed in the video below.
At the current time, humanity has not yet reached Type 1 civilization status, we are only at level 0.72

Mysterious rocket crash on moon baffles scientists or was it a UFO?
Mysterious rocket crash on moon baffles scientists or was it a UFO?
A mystery rocket has crashed into the moon creating two large craters. NASA astronomers are baffled, they don't know where the rocket came from and why the impact was spread over two distinct areas.
The astronomers discovered a rocket body heading toward a lunar collision late last year. The impact occurred on March 4, 2022 with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter later spotting the resulting crater. Surprisingly the crater is actually two craters, an eastern crater (18-meter diameter, about 19.5 yards) superimposed on a western crater (16-meter diameter, about 17.5 yards).
The double crater was unexpected and may indicate that the rocket body had large masses at each end. Typically a spent rocket has mass concentrated at the motor end; the rest of the rocket stage mainly consists of an empty fuel tank.
No other rocket body impacts on the Moon created double craters. The four Apollo SIV-B craters were somewhat irregular in outline (Apollos 13, 14, 15, 17) and were substantially larger (greater than 35 meters, about 38 yards) than each of the double craters. The maximum width (29 meters, about 31.7 yards) of the double crater of the mystery rocket body was near that of the S-IVBs.
That means it wasn’t an average rocket, NASA reported in a June 24 news release.
The origin of the rocket body remains uncertain and so far, none of Earth’s space exploring nations have taken credit or blame for the crash.
Since they cannot identify the object means it was an Unidentified Flying Object, but NASA will never admit that it was a UFO that crashed on the moon.
During archaeological excavations in Crimea , experts discovered a necropolis of the Byzantine Empire where the tomb of a giant was .
While the reconstruction work on the Mithridates Staircase in Kerch continues, archaeological excavation work has also started in the area.
This revealed up to 100 square meters of a necropolis, which had burials of people who once visited the temple of Juan Bautista .
To date there are 27 uncovered burials , some of children and twin burials. In addition to other elements, such as bronze pendants or bracelets.
They even managed to find felt clothing in one of the burials . This was very helpful as it allowed them to date the find .
Tomb of a giant in the necropolis
The find itself was not common and it became much more strange when they found a funerary box that exceeded 2.30 meters in length . When they uncovered it, they found what appeared to be the skeleton of a giant.
If the standard physique of the inhabitants of the area in the past is taken into account, finding a skeleton of a man that exceeded two meters in height is something that does not agree with the data.
The average height of the population of the date was 1.60 meters high , so there is no way to explain how the remains of this giant were buried in the area.
The remains were examined by the team’s anthropologist, who hopes to give an estimate of the age of the person buried there.
The remains must be analyzed to discover their origin
complicated excavation
The excavation work has been slow due to the complicated terrain, which is mixed . In ancient times, garbage was simply thrown on the ground.
Then, in the Middle Ages , the necropolis was created on top of all the ancient remains. For this reason it has become difficult for archaeologists to give an exact interpretation of the origin of everything found.
At the moment, the experts are in negotiations with the diocese of Kerch-Feodosia to be able to extract the remains found and examine them better.
Experts continue to investigate the origin of the mysterious skeleton and the reason for its abnormal size. In addition to finding an explanation for its origins.
The existence of giants is common in different ancient cultures, despite the fact that traditional archeology tries to keep these types of findings hidden. But discoveries like the one in Crimea show us that they existed.
ARCHEOLOGEN ZIEN 3400 JAAR OUDE STAD VAN MYSTERIEUZE BESCHAVING UIT HET WATER OPDOEMEN
ARCHEOLOGEN ZIEN 3400 JAAR OUDE STAD VAN MYSTERIEUZE BESCHAVING UIT HET WATER OPDOEMEN
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Door aanhoudende droogte viel de stad – die zich normaliter onder water schuilhoudt – eerder dit jaar heel even droog. Wat volgde, was een race tegen de klok. Mét resultaat.
Als klimaatverandering ergens tot uiting komt, dan is het – even afgezien van de polen – wel in Irak. Met name het zuiden van het land gaat regelmatig gebukt onder extreme droogte. Zo ook in januari en februari van dit jaar. Om de gewassen op de droge akkers in ieder geval nog een kans te geven, werd een beroep gedaan op het Mosoel-reservoir; het belangrijkste waterreservoir dat Irak sinds de jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw rijk is (zie kader). Het waterpeil in dit reservoir zakte rap. En terwijl het water zakte, dook in het reservoir een grote en daarmee vermoedelijk belangrijke stad uit de Bronstijd op.
Mosoel-reservoir In 1981 werd in het noorden van Irak aangevangen met de bouw van de Mosoeldam (in die tijd aangeduid als de Saddamdam). Door de dam ontstond een stuwmeer dat men kort na de voltooiing van de dam – in 1985 – liet vollopen. Verschillende archeologische vindplaatsen verdwenen daarbij onder water, waaronder dus ook de stad die begin dit jaar tijdelijk uit het water verrees. Wat deze stad echter bijzonder maakt, is dat deze – ook voorafgaand aan de totstandkoming van het stuwmeer – nooit door archeologen onderzocht is.
Geen vrije tijd Koerdische archeologen haastten zich – met enkele Duitse collega’s – naar het Mosoel-reservoir. En dat was het startsein van een race tegen de klok (en het water). De archeologen hadden daarbij een duidelijk doel voor ogen: een zo’n groot mogelijk deel van deze stad – voor het water deze weer zou verzwelgen – verkennen. “De tijdsdruk had geen effect op de opgravingen en onze documentatiemethoden,” benadrukt onderzoeker Ivana Puljiz, verbonden aan de universiteit van Freiburg. “Maar het betekende wel dat we bijna geen vrije tijd hadden.”
Zes weken was de archeologen uiteindelijk gegund. En in die periode werd er continu keihard gewerkt. “De grootste uitdaging tijdens de opgravingen was het weer. Door de tijdsdruk bleven we doorgraven in kou, sneeuw, hagel, regen en zelfs stormen. Want we wisten niet wanneer het waterpeil weer zou stijgen en hoeveel tijd we zouden hebben.”
Machtig rijk Maar het harde werk heeft zijn vruchten afgeworpen. Want de archeologen zijn erin geslaagd om – in de korte tijd die hen daarvoor gegund was – een groot deel van de stad in kaart te brengen. Daarnaast zijn in de stad ook een aantal interessante vondsten gedaan die hopelijk meer inzicht kunnen geven in het nog altijd mysterieuze beschaving die tussen 1550 en 1350 voor Christus over grote delen van het noorden van Mesopotamië en Syrië heerste: de Mittani.
Over de Mittani “Het Mittani-rijk is één van de grootste staten die tijdens de late Bronstijd in het zuidwesten van Azië te vinden waren,” vertelt Puljiz. “Het bestond gelijktijdig met het Nieuwe Rijk in Egypte, de Kassieten die over Babylon heersten en het Hettitisch Koninkrijk (dat centraal Anatolië en noordwestelijke Syrië besloeg, red.). Het gebied waarin de Mittani heersten, was groot en reikte van de Mediterrane kust tot het noorden van Irak. Maar er is heel weinig bekend over de organisatie van het rijk, omdat de hoofdstad ervan tot op heden nog niet met zekerheid geïdentificeerd is en de archieven nog op ontdekking wachten.”
Waardevol Het maakt de opgravingen die nu op de tijdelijke oevers van het Mosoel-reservoir hebben plaatsgevonden heel waardevol. “De opgravingen wijzen erop dat dit een belangrijk centrum in het Mittani-rijk was,” vertelt onderzoeker Hasan Qasim. En de stad kan ons dan ook meer vertellen over deze nog altijd vrij mysterieuze beschaving.
Grote gebouwen Zo zijn de onderzoekers tijdens hun opgravingen op een paleis gestuit, maar ook op een soort fort met muren en wachttorens en een enorm, meerdere verdiepingen tellend pakhuis. “Wat het meest opwindend is, is dat we ons nu een voorstelling kunnen maken van hoe de stad eruitzag,” stelt Puljiz. “Hoe de stad functioneel en ruimtelijk georganiseerd was. Wat ons daarbij onder meer verbaasde was dat we op verschillende plaatsen in de stad op enorme gebouwen stuitten.”
In de stad zijn opmerkelijk goed bewaard gebleven muren ontdekt.

Metershoge muren Veel van die gebouwen zagen er naar omstandigheden nog redelijk goed uit. Zo werden er op verschillende plaatsen in de oude stad goedbewaard gebleven muren teruggevonden die soms wel enkele meters hoog waren. Dat de muren – gemaakt van in de zon gedroogde kleisteen – zelfs na meer dan 40 jaar onder water te hebben gestaan, nog heel zijn, is volgens de onderzoekers te herleiden naar een aardbeving die de stad rond 1350 voor Christus verwoestte. Tijdens deze beving stortten de bovenste delen van gebouwen in, waardoor de onderste delen erdoor begraven – en later ook beschermd – werden.
Tabletten Naast de muren stuitten de onderzoekers nog op een andere spectaculaire vondst; vijf keramische vazen die samen een meer dan 100 kleitabletten tellend archief herbergden. De kleitabletten dateren uit de periode kort nadat de aardbeving plaatsvond. En ook daarvoor geldt dat het bijna wonderbaarlijk te noemen is dat deze kleitabletten hun decennialange onderdompeling hebben doorstaan. De onderzoekers vermoeden dat de tabletten brieven zijn en hopen dat deze ons meer kunnen vertellen over de ondergang van de stad en misschien ook de opkomst van het Assyrische rijk in het gebied.
Hier zie je een met kleitabletten gevuld vat. Eén van de kleitabletten zit zelfs nog in zijn ‘envelop’.

Zakhiku Ten slotte denken de onderzoekers dankzij de opgravingen ook te weten hoe de Mittani deze indrukwekkende stad noemden. “Tijdens onze opgravingen hebben we een administratieve tekst gevonden die de oude stad Zakhiku noemt. We nemen aan dat dit verwijst naar de plek waar we opgravingen hebben gedaan.”
Dat de onderzoekers in amper zes weken tijd zoveel gezien en gedocumenteerd hebben, is indrukwekkend. En er viel nog veel meer te ontdekken, maar de tijd ontbrak; de archeologen waren in februari gedwongen de stad weer terug te geven aan het water. Maar niet voordat ze deze voor zover mogelijk met plastic hadden bedekt. “Het is belangrijk om ons gedeelde culturele erfgoed voor toekomstige generaties te behouden,” stelt Puljiz. “En archeologische vindplaatsen in reservoirs eroderen door het stijgende en dalende water. Uiteindelijk zal zo’n vindplaats compleet eroderen en gaan alle ruïnes verloren.” Dat probleem speelt ook in het geval van Zakhiku. “Hoewel de gebouwen uit de Mittani-periode dankzij hun omvang goedbewaard zijn gebleven, zijn de bovenliggende lagen – zonder ooit archeologisch onderzocht te zijn – al bijna vrijwel geheel geërodeerd. We hopen verdere erosie te voorkomen door de vindplaats in te pakken met plastic dat door stenen en keien op zijn plaats wordt gehouden.”
Na de opgravingen werden de ruïnes met plastic bedekt om ze tegen erosie te beschermen.

Inmiddels is de stad weer volledig door water bedekt. Wanneer deze weer uit het water verrijst, is onmogelijk te voorspellen. “Maar ik hoop dat we ons onderzoek op deze opwindende plek weer eens voort kunnen gaan zetten,” stelt Puljiz. “Er zijn nog zoveel dingen te ontdekken!” En niet alleen in deze stad. Want naast Zakhiku zijn er in de jaren tachtig met de totstandkoming van het Mosoel-reservoir nog veel meer gebieden aan het water ten prooi gevallen. “Voorafgaand daaraan heeft de Irakese overheid een soort reddingsprogramma op poten gezet waarbij talloze van deze gebieden eerst door Irakese en buitenlandse onderzoekers zijn onderzocht.” Hoewel men ook van het bestaan van Zakhiku op de hoogte was, werden de resten van deze stad echter nooit onder de loep genomen. En mogelijk zijn er nog wel meer plaatsen die archeologen toen – bewust of onbewust – niet nader hebben onderzocht. “Er kunnen zomaar tientallen andere belangrijke plaatsen zijn waar we nog helemaal nietsvan weten,” denkt Puljiz.

Cooling Earth
According to new research, the core of the Earth is cooling much faster and sooner than originally anticipated — a new mystery that could throw a wrench in our understanding of the planet's evolution.
To get a better sense of how far along the Earth is in the process, scientists are studying the thermal conductivity of the minerals present in the layer between the planet's core and mantle. The faster that hot center passes heat to the planet's outer layers, the faster the Earth is losing the heat present in its core.
Heating Rocks
In a lab simulation, a team of researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and the Carnegie Institution for Science applied immense amounts of pressure and heat to a mineral called bridgmanite — which is found in the transitional zone between the core and mantle — to simulate the conditions deep below the surface. They then measured its thermal conductivity to get a better sense of the cooling processes at play.
The results were surprising.
"This measurement system let us show that the thermal conductivity of bridgmanite is about 1.5 times higher than assumed," said ETH professor Motohiko Murakami, lead author of a paper about the findings published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, in a statement.
In other words, the heat from the core is being passed on at a much faster rate than previously thought, leading to the greater cooling of the Earth.
A New Perspective
The study could rewrite what we already know about the dynamic processes leading to the slowing down of convection currents.
"Our results could give us a new perspective on the evolution of the Earth’s dynamics," Murakami explained. "They suggest that Earth, like the other rocky planets Mercury and Mars, is cooling and becoming inactive much faster than expected."
The researcher did, however, note we didn't know enough to pinpoint how long it will take for convection currents to stop altogether.
De Amerikaanse sonde Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), die sinds 2009 rond de Maan wentelt, heeft na de mysterieuze inslag van een rakettrap twee nieuwe impactkraters op het hemellichaam gevonden, zo heeft nieuwszender CNN maandag gemeld.
Op 4 maart sloeg een door mensenhanden gemaakt object, voor het eerst niet met opzet, op de Maan in. Nadien stelde de LRO vast dat er twee nieuwe impactkraters zijn. Een oostelijke is achttien meter breed en een westelijke zestien meter.
Volgens CNN zijn astronomen verrast dat er twee kraters zijn. Het suggereert dat de impact het werk is van een groot object.
Wat dat object precies is, is nog steeds onduidelijk. Eerst was sprake van een trap van een Amerikaanse Falcon-draagraket. Daarop sprak China de versie tegen dat het een trap van de Lange Mars-3C draagraket was die de Chinese Chang’e-5 Maanmissie lanceerde.
Mogelijk kan de dubbele inslag astronomen meer leren over de precieze herkomst, aldus nog CNN.
A rocket body struck the moon on March 4 near the Hertzsprung crater, creating a double crater roughly 28 meters wide.
Limburger looft 1 miljoen euro uit voor wie bezoek van aliens in ufo kan bewijzen
Eén miljoen euro voor wie het bestaan van ufo’s als buitenaardse ruimtetuigen kan bewijzen. Dat mooie bedrag looft Limburger Marc Broux uit, om zijn overtuiging dat ufo’s van aliens niet bestaan kracht bij te zetten. Zijn belofte loopt tot nog tot 21 april 2025.
24 juni 1947. Piloot Kenneth Arnold ziet negen onbekende vliegende objecten nabij de Mount Rainier in de Amerikaanse staat Washington. Zijn melding ervan geldt als de allereerste van zogenaamde ufo’s: unidentified flying objects of ongeïdentificeerde vliegende voorwerpen. De ufologie, het onderzoek naar ufowaarnemingen, bestaat sinds vrijdag dus exact 75 jaar. Maar of ook ufo’s zelf écht bestaan, dat is een andere zaak.
Marc Broux, een ufoloog uit Zolder, was lange tijd een believer, maar nu niet meer. De expert gelooft wel in waarnemingen van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten, maar niet dat die vliegende schotels zouden bemand zijn door aliens, die onze aarde al dan niet geregeld een bezoekje brengen. “Al 75 jaar beweren honderdduizenden mensen ufo’s gezien te hebben”, aldus Broux. “Tienduizenden beweren in oogcontact te zijn geweest met de bestuurders ervan. En duizenden aardse mensen beweren ontvoerd en onderzocht te zijn geweest door buitenaardsen. Wel, als dat zo is, dan moet het toch een kleine moeite zijn om één fysisch, materialistisch, tastbaar of visueel bewijs te geven. Maar... dat gebeurt niet.”
Volgens Broux zijn ufo’s dan ook geen buitenaardse ruimtetuigen, maar eerder verkeerd geïnterpreteerde astronomische, natuurkundige of psychologische gebeurtenissen.
Wie wél bewijsmateriaal heeft, die kan zijn rekening aangedikt zien met maar liefst één miljoen euro. Broux lanceerde die belofte op 21 april van dit jaar en ze loopt nog tot 21 april 2025. “Maar er zijn spelregels”, voegt hij eraan toe. Wie aanspraak maakt op de mooie geldsom, moet kunnen bewijzen dat “bepaalde intelligente wezens die van buiten ons zonnestelsel komen, met hun ruimtetuigen onze aarde een bezoek brengen”. Foto’s en filmmateriaal zijn geen bewijs voor Broux. “Het beste bewijs is uiteraard het ruimteschip zelf”, vult hij aan. Het eventuele bewijsmateriaal zal ook wetenschappelijk onderzocht worden. Geïnteresseerden kunnen het deelnameformulier aanvragen met een brief naar Begonialaan 35 in Heusden-Zolder.

We Could Discover new Kinds of Particles Around Black Holes Through Gravitational Waves
We Could Discover new Kinds of Particles Around Black Holes Through Gravitational Waves
On February 11th, 2016, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the detection of gravitational waves (GW) for the first time. As predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, these waves result from massive objects merging, which causes ripples through spacetime that can be detected. Since then, astrophysicists have theorized countless ways that GWs could be used to study physics beyond the standard models of gravity and particle physics and advance our understanding of the Universe.
To date, GWs have been proposed as a means of studying Dark Matter, the interiors of neutron stars and supernovae, mergers between supermassive black holes, and more. In a recent study, a team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Harvard University has proposed a way where GWs could be used to search for ultralight bosons around rotating black holes. This method could not only offer a new way to discern the properties of binary black holes but could lead to the discovery of new particles beyond the Standard Model.
It’s a well-known fact that normal matter will infall toward black holes over time, which will form an accretion disk around its outer edge (aka. Event Horizon). This disk will be accelerated to incredible speeds, causing the material within to become super-heated and release tremendous amounts of radiation while slowly being accreted onto the black hole’s face. However, for the past few decades, scientists have observed that black holes will shed some of their mass through a process called “superradiance.”
This phenomenon was studied by Stephen Hawking, who described how rotating black holes would throw off radiation that would appear “real” to a nearby observer, but “virtual” to a distant one. In the process of transferring this radiation from one reference frame to another, the acceleration of the particle itself would cause it to transform from virtual to real. This exotic form of energy, known as “Hawking Radiation,” will form clouds of low-mass particles around a black hole. This leads to a “gravitational atom,” so-named because they resemble ordinary atoms (clouds of particles surrounding a core)
While scientists know that this phenomenon occurs, they also understand that it could only be explained through the existence of a new ultralight particle that exists beyond the Standard Model. This was the focus of the new paper, where lead author Daniel Baumann (GRAPPA and the University of Taipei) and his colleagues examined how superradiance causes unstable clouds of ultralight bosons to form around black holes spontaneously. In addition, they suggest that the similarities between gravitational and regular atoms go deeper than their structure.
In short, they suggest that binary black holes could cause particles in their clouds to become ionized via the photoelectric effect. As described by Einstein, this occurs when electromagnetic energy (such as light) makes contact with a material, causing it to emit excited electrons (photoelectrons). When applied to a binary black hole, Baumann and his colleagues show how clouds of ultralight bosons could absorb the “orbital energy” of a black hole companion. This would cause some of the bosons to become ejected and accelerated, evident from the black hole’s associated GW signals.

Lastly, they demonstrated how this process could dramatically alter the evolution of binary black holes by reducing the time it takes for the objects to merge. As they state:
“The orbital energy lost in this process can overwhelm the losses due to GW emission, so that ionization drives the inspiral rather than merely perturbing it. We show that the ionization power contains sharp features that lead to distinctive “kinks” in the evolution of the emitted GW frequency.”
These “kinks,” they argue, will be discernible to next-generation GW interferometers like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). This process could be used to discover an entirely new class of ultralight particles and provide direct information about the mass and state of “gravitational atom” clouds. In short, the ongoing studies of GWs using more sensitive interferometers could reveal exotic physics that advance our understanding of black holes and lead to new breakthroughs in particle physics.
This is one of many possibilities that have been ventured thanks to the revolution taking place with GW astronomy. In the coming years, astrophysicists hope to use them to probe the most extreme environments in the Universe, like black holes and neutron stars. They also hope that primordial gravitational waves will reveal things about the early Universe, help resolve the mystery of the matter/anti-matter imbalance, and lead to a quantum theory of gravity (aka. a Theory of Everything).
Canada admits UFO activity as a member of Parliament claims they are real
Canada admits UFO activity as a member of Parliament claims they are real
Following the moves taken by the US, Russia, and China earlier this week, Canada should become the latest state to either support or boost up the investigation into UFOs.
NASA announced the establishment of a small team to “advance the scientific knowledge of unexplained aerial phenomena ahead.” NASA confirmed the establishment of a small team to further scientific knowledge of mysterious aerial occurrences, making the United States the first to ‘act.’
In recently revealed letters dated June 6, officials from Canada acknowledged their plan to help UFO studies in the United States.
John Hannaford, the Deputy Minister for Natural Resources Canada, indicated his plan to participate in the US research in a letter to Larry Maguire M.P. and Kathleen Heppell-Masys, Directorate of Security and Safeguards for the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This is what he wrote in the letter:
“I am writing in follow-up to my May 18, 2022, appearance before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources, where you raised security-related questions regarding the Government of Canada’s position on drones and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) near North American nuclear facilities. Given the shared priority for nuclear safety and security of nuclear facilities, and the growing interest in UAPs in both Canada and the United States, the CNSC is committed to raising the issue with its United States counterpart and sharing any related information going forward.”
In a prior email, Maguire confirmed the existence of UAPs and stated that Canada needs to consider them with more seriousness.
This disclosure comes about a year after the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a study claiming that the federal government couldn’t explain all of the 144 UAPs which were discovered by military aviators, instead they could do that only for one of them. They did mention birds or balloons, as well as classified American programs and superior Russian or Chinese technology.
Dust Devils and Strong Winds Produce the Constant Haze on Mars
Dust Devils and Strong Winds Produce the Constant Haze on Mars
Dust is an everyday feature on Mars and wreaks havoc on various pieces of equipment humans decide to send to it, such as Insight’s continual loss of power or the losses of Opportunity and Spirit. But we’ve never really understood what causes the dust to get up into the air in the first place. That equipment that is so affected by it usually isn’t set up to monitor it, or if it is, it has been sent to a place where there isn’t much dust, to begin with. Now, that has changed with new readings from Perseverance in Jerezo crater, and the answer shouldn’t be much of a surprise – dust devils seem to cause some of the dust in the atmosphere on Mars. But strong winds contribute a significant amount too.
A new paper in Science Advances by a team of over 45 scientists reports on data collected by Perseverance’s instrumentation that is designed to study the Martian environment. The Radiation and Dust Sensor (RDS) instrumentation is part of a broader package of instrumentation known as the Mars Environment Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA).
This instrument can detect changes in the environmental conditions that would occur around the rover about once a second. The most likely cause of those changes would be the presence of dust devils.

But it is not enough to detect those changes alone, as they could be caused by sources other than dust devils. So the RDS combines forces with another MEDA instrument, the Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS), which can provide data on the tracking radiative flux around the rover. Combining these two data sets allow scientists to comprehensively say whether or not a dust devil has overtaken the rover.
They do so often. About four times a day, the rover is subjected to “convective vortices,” the technical term for updrafts that are strong enough to sense. About one of those four carries enough dust to be thought of as what we would conventionally call a “dust devil.” And their existence seems to be the source of most of the dust that reaches the air. But they aren’t the only source.
There was some evidence for strong wind gusts that don’t actually form into a dust devil and might force a significant amount of dust into the air themselves. While these weren’t necessarily as strong as the dust devils, they covered a much larger area, with the largest being ten times larger than the largest dust devil. So even if they are much weaker, they were potentially able to lift smaller grains of dust high into the atmosphere.

The scientists think that a roughly equal amount of dust in the Martian atmosphere could be caused by both dust devils and these more concentrated wind gusts. But no matter what the dust is from, the existence of instruments on Mars that can finally collect data on the underlying cause of the dust is a breakthrough in understanding the Martian environment. It might also help us find a way to disrupt this potentially destructive process if it ever comes to that.

Deep-Sea Camera Captures What No One Was Supposed to See
Life on earth is entirely dependent on water, every single living organism requires water for survival. More than 60% of the human body is composed of water. We are dependent on water in different ways including for drinking, for taking showers, cooking food, and for swimming. Agriculture and industry both run on water. Well, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water and oceans constitute about 96.5% of this water. It means, we have tremendous opportunities to explore but exploring the abyss of the ocean is a difficult proposition and maybe quite scary. Scientists have been trying to reach the darkest corners of the unchartered oceans and they have come across some terrifying things.

Spirit Orb Seen On Baby Monitor Leaves When Mother Goes To Investigate & Returns After She Leaves.
This was captured on June 23, 2022 at their home in Preston, Lancashire in England. I believe this to be a spirit orb and not dust or a bug as with dust would not hover or stay in one spot for any length of time as for this being a bug, this was seen for several nights and always in the same area that had been clean so what could this be? One explanation could be with the passing of the grandmother could this be her watching over granddaughter
Two Fighter Jets Spotted Chasing A UFO Over Mount Desert Island In Maine. June 20, 2022
Guys I'm feeling a lot better and i have missed you crazy lot...
Now back to the footage. In this short clip we can see these two jets giving chase to this UFO just before the camera goes out of focus and the object and jets enter the clouds. I asked the witness if there was an air show and he replied "There was no air show. Heard the planes and looked up. My daughter saw them first. Low altitude over the water."
Thanks to Alex McCall for allowing me the use of his footage and to view the original:
