The Falcon Lake Incident: Canada's Most Mysterious Unsolved UFO Case...
The Falcon Lake Incident: Canada's Most Mysterious Unsolved UFO Case...
In 1967 Stefan Michalak claims to of witnessed two UFOs in the woods of Manitoba, Canada at falcon lake. His story has become one of the most documented and heavily studied reports in history regarding UFOs. Interestingly, Stefan had more to back up his story than just recounting what he saw, he sustained an injury that still to this day cannot be explained away.
What follows is what many consider to be the best evidence of UFO’s of all time, this is the story of the falcon lake UFO.
In the fat report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects by the University of Colorado under contract to the United States Air Force (1969), Michalak's UFO encounter was described as "unknown", meaning there was no explanation. Their concluding remarks (on page 323) were impressive: "If Mr. A's reported experience were physically real, it would show the existence of alien vehicles in our environment."
NASA MARS ROVER FINDS METALLIC OBJECT THAT SMASHED DOWN ON SURFACE
NASA MARS ROVER FINDS METALLIC OBJECT THAT SMASHED DOWN ON SURFACE
OKAY, THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME.

Cacao Nibs
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has stumbled across yet another fascinating discovery while exploring the planet's barren surface.
This time, it appears to be an iron-nickel meteorite dubbed Cacao, which measures roughly a foot across and can be seen in an ultra-high resolution image, stitched together from 19 individual photos taken by the rover on January 28.
The mysterious object's lovely silver metallic hue stands out like a sore thumb in the surrounding, rust-colored landscape, a sulfate-bearing region of the Red Planet's Mount Sharp.
"Rock. Rock. Rock. Rock. Rock. Rock. METEORITE!" the rover's official Twitter account wrote. "It's not uncommon to find meteorites on Mars — in fact, I've done it a few times! But a change in scenery's always nice."
Pet Rock
Unfortunately, Curiosity, which has been roaming the surface for well over a decade now, isn't equipped to take a sample from Cacao and bring it back home. That's one of the main objectives of the rover's cousin Perseverance, the only other active rover currently roaming the surface of Mars, which has been industriously picking up samples of Martian rock and soil.
The meteorite could still allow scientists to glean insights into the Red Planet's ancient past or whether it once hosted life. The scars and indentations on Cacao's surface were likely formed as it made its way through the planet's atmosphere, as Universe Today reports, despite the planet's thin atmosphere.
Iron nickel meteorites are also the rarest kinds of meteorites and stand a very good chance of surviving their journey through either Mars' or Earth's atmosphere.
The Beast
As the Curiosity team points out in its update, the rover has come across several meteorites not unlike Cacao, from the golf ball-sized "egg rock" it found in 2016, to the massive seven-foot iron meteorite "Lebanon" — or "the Beast" — meteorite in 2014.
But there's only so much the scientists will be able to learn about Curiosity's newest find.
"There’s no way to date these," the team admitted in a Twitter reply. "But it could have been here millions of years!"
Some time ago, NASA began looking for extraterrestrial life, however, no signal from space has been received… or so it is believed. Recently, the UK Ministry of Defense declassified the National Archives for the seventh batch of UFO files, where it was explained that the space agency received “signals of a human civilization” from another planet.
One of the files has an article from the September 15, 1998 Weekley World News , in volume 19, superscript 51. That article narrates that NASA detected and decoded signals from a human civilization.
Supposedly requesting help since they were doomed on a planet outside of our galaxy.
Signs of a human civilization on another planet
The article says that the signal was detected in January 1998 , although it took several months before it was decoded.
Experts claimed that they intercepted an intergalactic distress signal from a human civilization. Supposedly, it had already peaked and was dying when humanity was still in prehistory.
But only in the last few weeks, radio astronomers and experts have found the key to cracking the language based on mathematics . Thus was translated the desperate plea for help.
According to a senior NASA source in Houston, Russian space scientist Viktor Kulakov , who leads a United Nations research team at a state-operated observatory 80 kilometers northwest of Moscow.
Kulakov said the signal was sent from a point beyond our galaxy , possibly from Andromeda . He also assured that it was about 80,000 years ago, by a human civilization more advanced than ours .
The fact that we received and decoded the message shows that the knowledge and technology of that civilization were better than the terrestrial one .
But despite being much more advanced than us, the death of such a civilization was not the result of a cosmic catastrophe . It was the result of its collapse , possibly due to the devastating use of some nuclear weapon.
the end of civilization
The scientist declined to provide a transcript of the message, but did say it started with a guilty plea . Then there was the request for help and finally, he passed the data of his location.
There was also an exact description of the devastation; explosions, widespread death and terminal illnesses.
The message contained a feeling of resignation and underlying guilt. It’s as if the senders recognized that the end of their planet was their fault.
Everything seems to indicate that they did not have the means to evacuate the remaining population. Interplanetary travel was possibly available to them, but only at a limited level . The message made it clear that they were trapped.
Kulakov is believed to have been made invisible by NASA and fired. In addition, any link that linked him to the agency was erased. It only remained as a curious note, as an atypical testimony.
Another point to take into account is that the Weekly World News, the newspaper where the article was published, was discontinued . It was also branded as a “conspiracy” medium, for which reason its veracity was questioned.
Some believe that Kulakov’s testimony is real, others that it was just another sensationalist article. However, the mystery is still present, and the possibility that a human civilization has communicated with us exists.

Focus on Chinese Spy Balloon Sets Up 'Perfect Storm for a Global Conflict'
Focus on Chinese Spy Balloon Sets Up 'Perfect Storm for a Global Conflict'
If the earth is round and each country has satellites in orbit in outer space, with technology like this, how come major nuclear powers are using Balloons?
Nearly identical Chinese spy balloons have been dispatched by the Chinese military into the airspace of Japan and India and the Philippines and in at least one case, probably all cases, at least one we know of, over a military installation.
Could there be deception here?

What does Islam say about alients? With the Universe being as unfathomably vast as it is, it seems impossible that Earth is the only planet that contains life. It just may be, however, that Islam has already confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life. Here's what the Qu'ran and hadith say about aliens.
The idea of extraterrestrial life is one of incredible fascination to us. Perhaps aggrandized through a century of literature and film, human beings are obsessed with the idea of searching the stars and discovering intelligent life.
With the Universe being as unfathomably vast as it is, it seems impossible that Earth is the only planet that contains life.
Humans have been searching for alien life rigorously for the past few decades. It just may be, however, that Islam has already confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life.
WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAY?
Even within the solar system, there exists the possibility of some form of life. Europa, for example, one of Jupiter’s larger moons, is believed to be a geologically active world, due to the gravitational fields of Jupiter heating its interior. Its surface is covered by water ice, and scientists believe that beneath the surface, due to the heated interior of the moon, is a global ocean which may be over 100 km deep. It’s plausible that the ocean floor contains hydrothermal vents and volcanos, features on Earth that enable the existence of life in the deepest depths of its oceans.
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, is also ice covered with a subsurface ocean of salty liquid water. Scientists discovered enormous geysers near the moon’s south pole which spray out water into space. The water contains tiny grains of rocky silicate particles that provide strong evidence for the existence of hydrothermal vents, and possible conditions for life.
Another moon of Saturn which is of interest to scientists looking for life is Titan. Its weather system is methane-based, instead of water-based, and the moon contains rivers and lakes made of methane and ethane, as well as possible cryovolcanoes that erupt liquid water rather than lava. It’s entirely possible that lifeforms exist on Titan, made up of different chemistry to lifeforms on Earth.
Titan, artist’s depiction.
Some scientists are still hopeful of the discovery of life on Mars. It had water billions of years ago, and potentially life, but what interests scientists today is the methane that exists in the Martian atmosphere, as methane can be produced by biological processes. While its atmosphere is very thin, it’s not impossible that life may still exist if the planet has managed to retain some reserves of water beneath its surface.

Outside of the solar system, the possibilities are endless. Scientists generally look for planets in what is known as the Goldilocks Zone, which refers to the habitable zone around a star where the temperature is just right for liquid water to exist on a planet. And, based on our understanding of life, where there is water, there should be life.
There are however other factors to consider. Scientists look for rocky planets, rather than gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn. And even if they find them, it doesn’t automatically make them inhabitable. For example, Mars and Venus exist in our sun’s Goldilocks Zone, but Mars barely has an atmosphere, and Venus is being decimated by its own greenhouse effect. Scientists would also look for traces of gases on potential worlds that can only be produced by life.
The Goldilocks Zone
In short, there may be life outside Earth. There may not be. What that life may look like – and whether it is intelligent life – no-one can say for sure. Whether we will ever even discover life outside of Earth, no-one can know for sure. And, regardless, given how vast the Universe is, finding life is unbelievably difficult.
ALIENS IN THE QUR’AN
The Holy Qur’an, perhaps, alludes to the existence of alien life multiple times.
In a surah we read every single day – Surah Al-Fatiha, Allah (SWT) says:
All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.”
(Holy Qur’an 1:2)
Allah emphasises that He is the Lord of all worlds, perhaps referring to worlds as in planets, universes, or dimensions. ‘Aalam’ – the word used for worlds here – can refer to an entire world or an entire people. Classical scholars obviously understood ‘aalam’ to mean people, animals, jinn, angels etc, but Allah is, from the very beginning, saying here that we are not alone.
The biggest pointer to life on other planets is a verse in Surah Ash-Shuraa, where Allah says:
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together whenever he pleases.” (Holy Quran, 42:30)
Examination of this verse leads many to believe that Allah is being clear here about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Firstly because the plural is used for heavens – ‘Samawaat’, meaning He is not just referring to the sky above us. Secondly, because the word used for creatures here is ‘daabah’. ‘Daabah’ refers to land-dwelling animals that move along the surface of the Earth. Therefore He is not referring to spiritual beings, but literal beings that occupy the Heavens (i.e., outside of Earth).

The famous Qur’an translator Abdullah Yusuf Ali seems to agree. He writes:
…it is reasonable to suppose that life in some form or another is scattered through some of the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space.” (The Quran: Text, Translation and Commentary, Ad-Dar Al- ‘Arabiah, Beirut, 1938, 1314)
He isn’t the only one. In a commentary on this verse, Allamah Tabatabai says:
The apparent meaning of this verse is that there are living creatures (Dawab) in the heavens similar to those on earth…”
(Al-Mizan – Volume 18, Page 58)
Islamic theologian Fahir al-Din al-Razi says in his commentary of this verse:
It is not impossible that in the heavens there are species of animals that move just like humans walk on the earth.”
(Religions and extra-terrestrial life, David Weintraub, pg. 165)
Agha Mahdi Puya, the Ayatollah who authored his famous Qur’an tafsir, was quite specific about the existence of alien life. He writes:
Life is not confined to the earth. It is indicated in this verse that life in some form or other is existing in the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space. The Almighty who created such countless beings has surely the power to bring them together when the trumpet is blown.”
What’s also interesting is the latter portion of the verse, where Allah says ‘He has the power to gather them together whenever he pleases’, emphasising that He can gather these various types of life together. Meaning that if the verse does refer to extraterrestrial life, He could be alluding to contact between beings on Earth and beings living beyond it. Let’s not forget that we look back at many verses today that highlighted hidden mysteries which science later “discovered”, such as living things being made of water, the expansion of the Universe, etc. We may one day look back at this verse and point out that the Qur’an foretold first contact with extraterrestrial life.
An Artist’s rendering of an exoplanet.
However, it’s important to remember that how we interpret this verse is based on how we choose to interpret the word used for Heavens – ‘Samaawat’. Objectively, the word has been used in the Qur’an for multiple meanings, including referring to above, planets in the sky, and the atmosphere on the Earth. So when Allah uses the word ‘Daabah’ in the context of ‘samaawat’ meaning the atmosphere of the Earth, ‘Daabah’ may actually be referring to microscopic life forms or large creatures (like birds) that surround or travel in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, Allah referring to gathering these beings together, could simply be referring to gathering them on the Day of Judgement, and not before.
In another verse, Allah (SWT) says:
Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The divine command comes down in their midst, that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge…” (Holy Quran: 65:13)
Here Allah alludes to the fact that there are similar, if not identical bodies to Earth. While this may be referring to planets in general, He also reminds us that divine revelation comes down to all of them. This could mean that divine revelation descends to alien life as well.
In another verse, Allah says:
The seven heavens and the earth and those that are in them extol His glory…” (Holy Quran, 17:45)
Here, Allah uses the pronoun ‘men’ when saying ‘those’, indicating that He is referring to intelligent life that occupies the heavens, or distant star systems, perhaps.
An artists impression of Proxima B, orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri / SO / M. Kornmesser / UNIG
The last verse, which Dr. Yasir Qadhi mentions is perhaps the biggest proof for extraterrestrial life (though he leans toward its existence, as opposed to fully supporting the idea) is where Allah says:
Indeed, We have dignified the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, granted them good and lawful provisions, and privileged them far above many of Our creatures.” (Holy Qur’an 17:1)
His point is that Allah is telling us here that we are higher than many other creatures – but not all of them (hence His use of the word ‘many’). And since we know that we are higher than angels, jinn, and animals, this verse is alluding to another form of creation that we are not aware of – perhaps, alien life.
ALIENS IN THE AHADITH
It’s when we begin to look into the ahadith, of the Shia Muslim tradition specifically, that things start to become more interesting.
Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq, famous scholar and 6th Imam of Shia Islam, is quite specific when it comes to this topic. He says:
Maybe you see that God created only this single world and that God did not create humans besides you. Well I swear by God that God created thousands and thousands of other worlds and thousands and thousands of humankind.” (Bihar Al-Anwar, Vol. 8, p. 375)
Another hadith I came across, also attributed to Imam Al-Sadiq, says:
Allah has created twelve thousand worlds and every one of them is bigger than the seven skies and seven earths together, none of the people of these worlds ever think that Allah has created any other worlds.”
(Khisal, vol. 2, pg. 639, hadith 14)
In another tradition, found in Safinatul Bahar, Imam Ali says:
These stars which are in the sky are like cities similar to the cities on earth, every city with another city (every star with another star) is connected by pillars of light.” (Safinatul Bahar: Volume 2, Page 574)
While Imam Ali has often used metaphors that the Arabs of his time would understand to describe the Universe (see Nahjul Balagha), it could be said that he is literally referring to alien civilizations here.
Artist’s concept of an exoplanet
Another hadith by the 5th Shia Imam, Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir, states:
Allah has Created this Domain of green aquamarine. It is from its greenery that the sky appears as such’. I said, ‘And what is the Domain?’ He said: ‘The veil. By Allah(azwj), behind that (veil) are seventy thousand worlds, more numerous that the number of the human beings, and the Jinn…”
(Basaair Al Darajaat, pg. 512)
However, while the Shia Muslim literature above seems to essentially confirm the existence of extraterrestrial beings, the authenticity of these narrations up for debate. And even if they are authentic, how one chooses to interpret these hadith is also based on what one is looking for. It could be that the Imams are referring to different dimensions or universes that we just do not (and cannot) understand. Other hadith references that there were peoples who existed before humankind as we know it, meaning the above hadith may fall into a similar category of discussion.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Ultimately, Islamic literature is far from explicit on the existence of alien life. It can be said that, perhaps, some Islamic literature can be interpreted to point toward the existence of life beyond Earth. Whether that be what we consider to be intelligent life, different types of creatures not unlike that which we find in the deepest depths of our oceans, or alien beings whose genetic and societal makeup is beyond our ability to understand, is up to pure speculation.
Much like the conclusion of science, the truth is, we just don’t know, and, at least right now, only Allah does. But after searching the stars enough, perhaps one day we will.
James Webb-telescoop ontdekt "per toeval" kleine asteroïde
Europese astronomen hebben met de James Webb Ruimtetelescoop (JWST) "per toeval" een asteroïde ontdekt in de belangrijkste asteroïdengordel tussen de planeten Mars en Jupiter. De asteroïde, die ongeveer zo groot is als het Romeinse Colosseum, is het kleinste object dat tot nu toe met de ruimtetelescoop is waargenomen, zo heeft het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA gisteren gemeld.
"De ongelooflijke gevoeligheid van de telescoop heeft het mogelijk gemaakt om dit object van ongeveer 100 meter breed op een afstand van meer dan 100 miljoen kilometer waar te nemen", zegt Thomas Muller, een astronoom aan het Max Planck Instituut in Duitsland.
De ontdekking vond plaats tijdens het kalibreren van het infrarood-instrument MIRI. Dat instrument is het resultaat van een Europees-Amerikaanse samenwerking, waarbij ook Belgische onderzoekers betrokken waren. Er zijn nog meer waarnemingen nodig om de aard en de eigenschappen van de nieuwe asteroïde beter te karakteriseren.
De telescoop is niet ontworpen om te zoeken naar kleine objecten zoals deze nieuwe asteroïde. De vondst toont volgens Muller aan dat nog veel nieuwe objecten ontdekt kunnen worden met de James Webb-telescoop.

Black Triangle Over Salt Lake City, Utah Sept 16, 2022, UFO Sighting News.
Black Triangle Over Salt Lake City, Utah Sept 16, 2022, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: September 16, 2022
Location of sighting: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
This is something very cool. A large black triangle was seen over Salt Lake City. The object seem to have a clear or reflective hump on its lower center that was semi transparent (as the screenshot shows).
This object held position not moving, which means its not one of the Stealth fighter jets often seen over Utah. However it might be a USAF TR3B or triangle craft using the Stealth fighter design and body. But the fact that its sunset and the USAF would not fly a TR3B during the day to keep it hidden form the public makes me know that this is 100% a real alien craft. This is a UFO. Wow, what a great video, oh and please subscribe to my channel UFO Sightings Daily on Youtube for more.
Thanks,
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
From the SLC avenues mid September 2022 at sundown, I noticed a fairly large triangular object hovering in the sky. It was first floating stationary but moving kind of wavy. It then proceeded to slowly move North. I captured a total of 4 videos of approximately 1 minute 30 seconds each. The object kept floating North and then seemed to dissapear from view. The object was definitely triangle and guessing the size could have been around 60-75 ft in length. The location when first spotted was just above the high rise buildings in downtown Salt Lake. It appeared to be about 1250-1500 ft in the sky.
The Roswell UFO incident, which occurred in the New Mexican desert in 1947, remains the most well-known and debated UFO case in history. Many people believe that the crash was evidence of humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial life. However, the truth behind the incident has been shrouded in secrecy and controversy for decades.
Leaked CIA memos and statements from ex-military officers have hinted at a government cover-up, leading many to believe that top secret information was kept from the public. Despite these efforts, the truth cannot be kept hidden forever and the mystery of the Roswell UFO incident continues to captivate and puzzle people to this day.
A 2020 documentary film about the Roswell UFO incident, “Roswell UFO Conspiracy: Unlocked,” was recently released on YouTube for free. This film offers a new perspective on the famous case and provides further insight into the shocking and complicated mystery that spans decades and continents.

Nasa Detects New Alien Life Radio Signals From Outer Space
Space is full of the known and the unknown! However, the unknown far outweighs the known, and we continually get baffled by phenomenons that, try as may, we cannot explain! Thanks to sophisticated equipment and sound data interpretation, we can detect many strange things, even though we struggle to explain them or their origin! The latest discovery that has left even the best NASA scientists scratching their heads is a series of strange radio signals emanating from space! What are these strange radio signals? Are they coming from intelligent aliens trying to establish communication with us? And how do they affect your everyday life? Join us as we dive deep into the strange radio signals coming from space that NASA just detected! Sitting in a cozy, well-lit room on Earth, space might look like a serene place where you can enjoy solitude, unlike the hustle and bustle of the big cities down here. However, that perception could not be more wrong! One of the most common is radio emissions because they come from basically everywhere! From planets and stars, exotic objects like pulsars and black holes, galaxies. Radio emissions even come from human technology. So, at any point in time, radio waves are emanating from uncountable sources! Despite the many possible sources, astronomers have detected new and unusual radio wave signals, unlike any found before! The radio waves fit no currently understood patterns of variable radio sources but are coming from the direction of the center of our Milky Way galaxy! The discovery was made using the ASKAP radio telescope. What is ASKAP? It stands for Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder and is a next-generation radio telescope incorporating novel receiver technologies and leading- edge ICT systems. It is made up of 36 antennas, each 12 meters in diameter, that all work together as a single instrument. When ASKAP is completed, it will be capable of high dynamic wide-field imaging using novel phased array feeds that will provide a unique new capability within radio astronomy. The design of ASKAP is unique among radio telescopes because its antennas feature three-axis movement and will use phased array feeds or radio cameras rather than ‘single pixel feeds’ to detect and amplify radio waves. These attributes mean that the telescope will survey large areas of the sky with unprecedented sensitivity and speed. Why did the scientists believe this radio wave was different from whatever they had heard before? They explained that it has a very high polarization. This means its light oscillates in only one direction, but that direction rotates with time. Apart from this, the brightness of the object also varies dramatically, by a factor of 100, and the signal switches on and off apparently at random, unlike anything the scientists had ever seen before! Initially, the scientists thought it could be a pulsar or else a type of star that emits huge solar flares. But the signals from this new source don’t match what these celestial objects emit! While the investigation continues on the radio wave, the source of the signals has been dubbed the ASKAP J173608.2-321635. However, even though the scientists werebaffled by the source of the emission, finding it was nothing short of extraordinary! The astronomers detected six signals over a period of nine months in 2020. But, when the astronomers tried to find the source in visible light, using optical telescopes, they saw nothing. The Parkes radio telescope in Australia also came up empty. This telescope, located just outside the town of Parkes in the central-west region of New South Wales, is one of the four instruments that make up the Australia Telescope National Facility. Parkes has a diameter of 64 meters, making it one of the largest single-dish telescopes in the southern hemisphere dedicated to astronomy. It started operating in 1961, and the surface, control system, focus cabin, receivers, computers, and cabling have all been upgraded to keep the telescope at the cutting edge of radio astronomy. The telescope is now 10,000 times more sensitive than when it was first commissioned. However, it failed to detect the source of the radio signal! Luckily, there is the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, an array of 64 interlinked receptors. A receptor is the complete antenna structure, with the primary reflector, sub- reflector, and all receivers, digitizers, and other electronics installed. Forty-eight of the receptors are concentrated in the core area, which is approximately 1 km in diameter. MeerKAT is even more powerful than Parkes, so the astronomers turned to it to unravel the mystery of this strange radio signal! MeerKAT did detect the signal! However, it was intermittent and different, signaling that

Why Don't Venus And Mars Have Life If They Are Both In The Habitable Zone?
The habitable zone is a region of the solar system where temperatures allow liquid water to exist on a planet, that is, a region that is neither too hot nor too cold. Did you know that there are three planets within the habitable zone in our solar system?
The habitable zone
The habitable zone is an area around a star within which temperatures between 32°F (0°C or 273K) and 212°F (100°C or 373K) are reached. That is, the habitable zone corresponds to the area around a star where the average temperature of the planets there would allow liquid water on its surface.
Other factors for habitability
The existence of liquid water on a planet does not depend only on the amount of energy it receives from its star. Atmospheric pressure also plays a vital role in the presence of water. Some of these other factors are:
Greenhouse effect: carbon dioxide in a planet's atmosphere generates the well-known greenhouse effect, due to which much of the radiation from the star cannot escape from the planet's surface. Albedo: is called albedo to the level of reflectivity of the surface of the planets or celestial bodies.
The habitable zone of other stars The main factor that determines the extent and characteristics of the habitable zone is stellar luminosity. As such,
Venus and Mars: habitable or not?
As we have already seen, the habitable zone of our solar system hosts three planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars; however, of those three, only Earth has life. Not only that but Venus and Mars are a long way from habitable planets.
1. Dough Low-mass planets are bad candidates for life for two reasons. First, its low gravity makes conserving the atmosphere difficult. 2. Orbit and rotation of the planet As in the other criteria, stability is critical in determining the effect of orbital and rotational characteristics on planetary habitability.

Starship will make its maiden orbital flight NEXT MONTH: Elon Musk reveals target launch date for his highly-anticipated £2.4 billion, 395ft-tall craft that was built to go to Mars
Starship will make its maiden orbital flight NEXT MONTH: Elon Musk reveals target launch date for his highly-anticipated £2.4 billion, 395ft-tall craft that was built to go to Mars
The rocket ship that could take humans to Marswithin the next decade is set to make its maiden orbital flight next month.
Elon Musk said SpaceX was targeting March for the eagerly-anticipated launch of his $3 billion (£2.4 billion) Starship — a vehicle that could be a game-changer for long-distance space travel.
Now the tech entrepreneur has revealed that his SpaceX company will try to send its huge Starship rocket to Earth orbit for the first time in a matter of weeks, providing the vehicle successfully ticks a few more boxes.
'If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month,' Musk wrote on Twitter.
Readying for lift-off: Elon Musk's $3 billion (£2.4 billion) Starship – a vehicle that could be a game-changer for long-distance space travel – is now just weeks away from shooting for the stars in what will be a highly-anticipated maiden orbital launch
'If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month,' Musk wrote on Twitter
'Success is far from certain, but excitement is guaranteed.'
There is reason to take the pledge with a pinch of salt, however.
The billionaire is famous for being overly-ambitious when it comes to targets — and Starship has already faced months of delays while readying for its debut orbital lift-off.
STARSHIP: KEY FACTS
First launch: March 2023?
What will it be used for? Partly the lander for NASA's moon missions but also to transport humans to Mars.
Height: 395ft (120m)
Weight: 11 million pounds (5 million kg)
Thrust:16 million pounds (70 Meganewtons)
Is it reusable? Yes
Max payload to low-Earth orbit: 220,000-330,000 pounds (100-150 tonnes)
Max payload to lunar orbit:220,000 pounds (100 tonnes)
Solid fuel: N/A
Liquid fuel: Oxygen and methane
Engines: Powered by around 32 Raptor engines
Crew module:Starship (ultimately able to carry up to 100 passengers)
Cost to build: Around $3 billion (£2.4 billion) in terms of total development
Price per launch: Ultimately around $2 million (1.7 million), according to Musk
Where will it launch from? Likely the Starbase facility near Boca Chica, Texas. But possibly Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.
Total launches:0
But there's no doubt that the wet dress rehearsal was a step in the right direction.
It includes many of the procedures SpaceX engineers will perform on launch day, such as pumping liquid oxygen and liquid methane propellant into the vehicle's Super Heavy first stage and Starship upper stage.
The vital mission – which will blast off from Texas and send the craft around Earth once, with a targeted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii – will act as an early milestone in Musk's ambition for Starship to carry people and cargo to the moon and Mars.
No spacecraft is currently capable of sending humans to the Red Planet — but all that could change with the development of Starship.
Its creation is part of Musk's grander vision of making us a 'multi-planetary species', first by starting a human colony on Mars and even getting to the point of building cities.
That may seem ambitious, but the tech supremo's long-term objective for Starship is for it to possibly carry people to destinations in the 'greater Solar System', including gas giants such as Jupiter or one of its possibly-habitable moons.
The thinking is that if there were ever a global apocalypse on Earth, the human race would have a better chance of several if people lived on different worlds in our solar system.
Starship will be capable of carrying up to 100 people to the Red Planet on a journey that is 250 times further than the moon and would take around nine months each way.
Musk and SpaceX have remained tight-lipped about a lot of the details regarding Starship, including images of what the inside will look like, but the 51-year-old has previously said he is looking to install around 40 cabins in the payload area near the front of the upper stage.
'You could conceivably have five or six people per cabin, if you really wanted to crowd people in,' the Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter boss added.
'But I think mostly we would expect to see two or three people per cabin, and so nominally about 100 people per flight to Mars.'
The Martian surface is not the only destination for Starship, however.
Powerful: Musk's vehicle (pictured earlier this week) packs 16 million pounds (70 Meganewtons) of thrust, which is almost double that of the other new generation rocket created by NASA and known as the Space Launch System (SLS)
A base on Mars? In terms of a Starship capsule travelling to the Red Planet, Musk wants to install around 40 cabins in the payload area near the front of the upper stage. This artist's impression shows what it would be like having multiple Starship vehicles on the Martian world
In April 2021, NASA announced that it had selected SpaceX's next-generation vehicle as the first crewed lunar lander for its Artemis III mission — due to put the first woman and first person of colour on the moon in 2025.
The Starship HLS – or Starship Human Landing System – will include SpaceX's Raptor engines, while also pulling inspiration from the Falcon and Dragon vehicles' designs.
It will feature a spacious cabin and two airlocks for astronaut moonwalks.
However, 2025 won't be the Starship HLS' first moon landing. That's because NASA wants the vehicle to perform an uncrewed test touchdown before it returns human boots to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.
The other uses for Starship are to deposit satellites into low-Earth orbit and possibly carry out space tourism trips.
Musk has already promised a trip around the moon to the Japanese online retail billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, who at the end of last year announced that a crew of eight artists would be joining him for the dearMoon mission.
It is currently scheduled for sometime this year, but with Starship not yet having completed a successful orbital launch, that date seems poised to slip.
Musk has previously estimated the total development cost of the Starship project to be between $2 billion (£1.6 billion) and $10 billion (£8 billion).
He later said it would probably be 'closer to two or three [billion] than it is to 10.'
The booster element alone has been developed over the years, from the Falcon 1 which was retired in 2009 to the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and now Super Heavy.
The idea for the Super Heavy dates back to November 2005, when Musk first discussed his desire to create a rocket he then termed BFR or Big F***ing rocket.
Since then, other SpaceX launch vehicles have followed, all building up to the development of the Super Heavy.
HOW WILL STARSHIP WORK, IS IT THE MOST POWERFUL ROCKET EVER AND WHERE WILL IT LAUNCH FROM?
How Starship works
Starship aims to be SpaceX's first fully-reusable rocket, which is part of the reason why the flight costs for Musk's vehicle could end up 200 times cheaper per launch than most other rockets.
So how will it work?
When it is ready to land on Earth, Starship will initially re-enter the atmosphere at a 60-degree angle, before 'belly-flopping' to the ground in a horizontal position.
This type of return uses our planet's atmosphere to slow the vehicle's descent but makes it unstable.
Starship aims to be SpaceX's first fully-reusable rocket, which is part of the reason why the flight costs for Musk's vehicle could end up 200 times cheaper per launch than most other rockets
It is for this reason that Starship will use four steel landing flaps, positioned near the front and rear of the vehicle, to control its descent, working in a similar way to how a skydiver uses their arms and legs to control a free-fall.
As Starship approaches the ground, it flips back into a vertical position and then uses its Raptor engines as retro-rockets to guide it down for a safe landing.
In November 2019, Musk claimed a Starship launch could cost just $2 million (£1.8 million) each time, thanks to efficiency savings that come from reusing a rocket.
By comparison, NASA's new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is estimated to cost an eye-watering $4.1 billion (£3.3 billion) per launch.
Where will Starship launch from?
Starship is expected to launch from the Starbase facility in Texas, close to the town of Boca Chica.
However, SpaceX will first need a launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration before it can blast off.
Musk has also previously said that the ship could lift off from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which is currently used by SpaceX for its Falcon series of rockets.
This was the launchpad that Apollo 11 blasted off from for its legendary mission to the moon in July 1969.
Is it the biggest rocket ever?
Yes. And not only that, it is also the most powerful.
Musk's vehicle packs 16 million pounds (70 Meganewtons) of thrust, which is almost double that of the other new generation rocket created by NASA and known as the SLS.
You might remember SLS for successfully delivering the Orion spacecraft to orbit last November as part of the Artemis I mission that saw it fly around the moon and back.
Starship is 395ft (120m) tall, with the ship itself measuring 164ft (49m) and the booster 230ft (70m).
No surprise, but SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket and the accompanying Starship spacecraft are, well, heavy.
The whole thing comes in at 11 million pounds (5 million kg) when fuelled.
REUSACHTIGE NESTELDRANG: 256 ONTDEKTE TITANOSAURUSEIEREN LEREN ONS VEEL MEER OVER DIT ENORME BEEST
REUSACHTIGE NESTELDRANG: 256 ONTDEKTE TITANOSAURUSEIEREN LEREN ONS VEEL MEER OVER DIT ENORME BEEST
Jeannette Kras
De titanosaurus spreekt met zijn maximale lengte van 30 meter tot de verbeelding. Dankzij de vondst van 256 dino-eieren weten we nu veel meer over dit gigantische beest.
In Centraal-India zijn 92 fossiele nesten vol met reuzeneieren gevonden, die zo’n 18 centimeter groot zijn. Ze blijken afkomstig van de titanosaurus (letterlijk: reusachtige of titanische hagedis), met een lengte tot wel 30 meter en een gewicht van 75.000 kilo waarschijnlijk de grootste dinosauriër die ooit op het Indische subcontinent heeft rondgelopen. Ondanks zijn enorme postuur was het waarschijnlijk een goeiige lobbes. Hij at louter planten, maar kon wel een vernietigende klap uitdelen met zijn staart of met zijn lange nek als een bloeddorstig monster het lef had om een hap uit hem te willen nemen.
Prehistorische kraamkamer De Lameta-formatie, gelegen in de Narmada-vallei in Centraal-India, staat bij paleontologen bekend om zijn vruchtbare bodem. Er zijn in de afgelopen 200 jaar al ontzettend veel fossielen van dino-skeletten, botten en eieren gevonden, die stammen uit het laatste stukje van het Krijt-tijdperk, tussen 70 miljoen en 66 miljoen jaar geleden, vlak voordat de dinosaurussen uitstierven.
Maar er lagen nog een aantal onaangeroerde prehistorische verrassingen op de wetenschappers te wachten. Liefst 256 titanosauruseieren kwamen na zorgvuldig onderzoek uit de aardlagen naar boven en geven ons een prachtig inkijkje in de leefwereld en leefgewoonten van deze gigantische dinosaurussen.
Ondiepe kuilen Onderzoekers van de Universiteit van New Delhi analyseerden de versteende eierresten en vonden uiteindelijk zes verschillende eiersoorten die allemaal onder de noemer titanosaurus vallen. Dit was een verrassing voor het team, omdat zij niet eerder zoveel diversiteit in skeletresten uit de omgeving waren tegengekomen. Ook de plaatsing van de tientallen nesten was interessant. Het kan niet anders dan dat de reusachtige dieren hun eieren in ondiepe kuilen begroeven, net als hedendaagse krokodillen dat doen. Er werden daarnaast verschillende afwijkingen gevonden in de eieren. Zo vonden ze bijvoorbeeld een ‘ei in een ei’. Dit is iets wat zelden voorkomt en erop duidt dat de fysiologie van de voortplanting van titanosaurussen erg lijkt op die van moderne vogels, die op dezelfde manier het ene na het andere ei produceren en in het nest leggen.
Broedkolonie Er zijn verspreid over het gebied heel veel nesten dicht bij elkaar gevonden. De wetenschappers concluderen dan ook dat de titanosaurussen, net als 13 procent van de hedendaagse vogelsoorten (waaronder veel zeevogels, maar ook roeken, kauwen en zwaluwen), gezamenlijk broedden in een titanische broedkolonie. Maar de kleine afstand tussen de nesten liet weinig ruimte over voor de immense dinosauruspapa’s en mama’s, waardoor het er sterk op lijkt dat de volwassen dieren de pasgeborenen al snel aan hun lot overlieten.
Het is zonder zulke archeologische vondsten onmogelijk om dit soort dingen over de voortplanting te ontdekken. De fossiele nesten leveren een schat aan gedetailleerde informatie en dragen enorm bij aan het begrip van paleontologen over hoe dinosaurussen leefden en evolueerden.
1000 kilometer aan eieren “Ons onderzoek heeft een grote broedplaats van een kolonie titanosaurussen blootgelegd. We hebben nieuwe inzichten opgedaan over het nestgedrag en de eerste levensfase van de reusachtige dieren. Er zijn door ons werk veel nieuwe details bekend geworden over de voortplantingsstrategie van deze dinosauriërs, vlak voordat ze zijn uitgestorven”, zegt onderzoeker Harsha Dhiman.
“De dinosaurusnesten in Centraal-India van Jabalpur in de oostelijke Narmada-vallei tot Balasinor in het westen, zijn nu gekoppeld aan de nieuwe broedplaatsen van het Dhar-district in Madhya Pradesh. Al met al is er een 1000 kilometer lang gebied ontstaan, dat een van de grootste dinosaurusbroedplaatsen ter wereld vormt”, besluit onderzoeksleider Guntupalli Prasad. En vermoedelijk zijn de onderzoekers nog lang niet uitgegraven. Het is een kwestie van tijd tot er nieuwe interessante details bekend worden over het leven van de reusachtige dinosauriërs.
Are the Misty Peaks of the Azores Remnants of the Legendary Atlantis?
Are the Misty Peaks of the Azores Remnants of the Legendary Atlantis?
Jutting from the deep briny mists of the mid-Atlantic, some 800 miles (1287 km) due west of Portugal, the Azores strike one as bejeweled, fern and flower-encrusted baubles in a vast expanse of blue oblivion. Largely a dormant volcanic archipelago today, to most, the region is a popular exotic getaway, but to some, these verdant islands represent the best case for a present-day fragment of the famed sunken landmass of Atlantis.
In a summary of a 2014 keynote speech given by legendary ocean explorer Thor Heyerdahl and Dr. Dominique Görlitz in Oslo, Norway, event planners state;
“In the last three years, the president of the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research, Nuno Ribeiro, has been claiming that archeological remains of structures discovered on several Azorean islands are of pre-Portuguese origin. Together with the Portuguese archaeologist Anabela Joaquinito, he has identified dozens of similar pyramidal structures in the Madalena area of Pico Island. Artifacts were also found on site which may predate the Portuguese settlement on the island. They believe the structures may have been built according to an oriented plan, aligned with thesummer solstices , which suggests they were built with an intended purpose. They also believe that the Madalena pyramidal structures are analogous to similar prehistoric structures found in Sicily, North Africa and the Canary Islands which are known to have served ritual purposes.”
This is quite interesting in and of itself, but consider that if one takes Plato's account as detailed in Critias and Timaeus at face value, then geographically, the primary Atlantean landmass from which sprang its sprawling seaborne empire would have been situated almost directly where the modern Azores island chain currently peeks out of the deep Atlantic. That is, directly “in front of the Pillars of Hercules,” i.e., Straits of Gibraltar. Ignatius Donnelly, the U.S. Congressman and dear friend of Abraham Lincoln who wrote the iconic 1882 book Atlantis: The Antediluvian World , was among the first to note this, as were the crew of the survey ship H.M.S. Challenger, whose 1877 article inScientific American , entitled “Glimpses of Atlantis,” stated;
“While the new America was thus forming, the ancient Atlantis was no doubt sinking as well as washing away. When its final disappearance occurred remains to be determined; quite recently however, two or three lines of research seem to converge in support of the truth of the ancient story, long considered mythical, in regard to the geologically recent occurrence of that wonderful catastrophe. Archaeo-geology has sufficiently demonstrated that the memory of man runs back vastly farther than history has been willing to admit; so that there remains no inherent improbability in the story the Egyptian priests told to Solon .”
Sao Jorge island in the Azores. Could it be that the Azores are actually the location of the legendary Atlantis?
Quite a conclusion from some of the most respected oceanographic pioneers, and one whose honest and open tone struck me as fundamentally different from the snide and condescending assessments of many mainstream discussions today, who in the ever-evolving debate surrounding Atlantis that we have thus explored, largely preclude a serious discussion of its historical or geographic reality before the conversation even begins. Yet until quite recently, historically speaking, this was not necessarily the case.
In a lighthearted Washington Post article from 1988 entitled “São Miguel, the Azores: Misty Fragments of Atlantis,” for example, travel correspondent David Yeadon flew to the Azores to meet with a local tour guide in São Miguel to catalog some choice sightseeing spots, only to find himself debating Atlantis over drinks with his host, something I can certainly relate to as this book was taking shape over the years. In the article he writes;
“Most Azoreans have no doubts on the matter at all.
‘Of course, this is Atlantis!’ Antonio Pinero insisted.
We sat sipping coffee and aguardiente (Azorean firewater made from the remnants of grape pressings) in an outdoor café overlooking the broad harbor at Ponta Delgada, capital of São Miguel Island and largest town in the nine-island archipelago of the Azores.
Antonio had been a modest, soft-spoken companion during my first hours in this little outpost of Portugal, 800 miles due west of Lisbon in the North Atlantic Ocean. But about this particular subject he tolerated no ambiguity whatsoever. From inside his worn wool jacket, he pulled a much-thumbed book titled Plato's History of Atlantis.
‘Was Plato a wise man?’ he challenged, obviously preparing for an extended semantic foray.
‘Yes, he certainly was,’ he responded. ‘Now please listen to what he wrote.’
He turned the grubby pages with solemnity.
‘For in those days,’ he began, ‘the Atlantis (sic) was navigable from an island situated to the west of the straits, which you call the Pillars of Hercules.’
He paused. ‘That's Gibraltar - the way out from the Mediterranean.’
I nodded; he nodded.
‘… and from it could be reached other islands and from the islands you might pass through to the opposite continent.’
He paused again. ‘That’s America.’
‘Plato knew about America?’ I laughed (a little).
Tony was not amused.
‘Plato knew everything. ’”
Back in Athens, 2,345 years before this little exchange at the São Miguel cafe was unfolding, Plato wrote in his Timaeus, describing a portion of the Atlantean capital city;
“In the next place, they used fountains both of cold and hot springs; these were very abundant, and both kinds wonderfully adapted to use by reason of the sweetness and excellence of their waters. They constructed buildings about them, and planted suitable trees; also, cisterns, some open to the heaven, other which they roofed over, to be used in winter as warm baths, there were the king’s baths, and the baths of private persons, which were kept apart; also, separate baths for women, and others again for horses and cattle, and to them they gave as much adornment as was suitable for them.”
While this may seem like a trivial aspect of our investigation, consider that today, one of the Azores’ main tourist attractions is its numerous healing springs. As a travel guide recently explained, “São Miguel Island is home to an exceptional array of mineral hot springs sure to elevate you to unmatched levels of relaxation. The Azores’ unique volcanic origins make these islands a thermal paradise, featuring steamy, iron-rich pools tucked amid lush green vegetation and tropical trees, and even a natural ocean pool heated by a volcanic vent and cooled by the ebbing tides of the Atlantic.” Sounds pretty nice.
The Azores were also briefly in the spotlight in 2013 when a chance discovery revealed a strange object at the bottom of the ocean. Diocleciano Silva, a Portuguese fisherman, noticed an unusual image on his yacht’s depth-finder while trolling between the islands of São Miguel and Terceira. According to his instruments, the pyramidal structure's base measured a whopping 86,111 square feet (8,000 sqm.), and its apex was submerged only 40 feet (12.2 m) beneath the surface, while the structure itself stood nearly 200 feet tall (61 m) from its base. It was also determined to be directly oriented to the four geophysical cardinal directions.
Reporting the findings to the Portuguese government in short order, they began their own investigation which naturally led to the official pronouncement that Silva had simply been using cheap and inaccurate equipment which gave an artificially sharp contour to what they claimed was a long-known natural volcanic formation in the area despite the iconic image of what is clearly a pyramid, which Portuguese television showed in a live broadcast at the time.
2021 oceanographic chart of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Geographically, regarding the working hypothesis – and description by Plato – that the region we call the Azorean Archipelago is the true geographical location of a former Atlantean home-island, in final reduced size after the continent´s previous two destructions as detailed by Edgar Cayce and others like Rudolf Steiner and William Scott-Elliott, what is truly astounding to me is that when one views a modern chart of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, one can clearly see the almost identical outline of the remaining Atlantean landmass hand-drawn by a teenage Frederick Oliver around 1886 during his clairaudient dictations of the past life of his muse Phylos in Atlantis in 11,160 BC on the island of Poseid.
This was contained in a loose collection of notes that later became the book A Dweller on Two Planets , privately published by his mother in 1904, years after Oliver’s early death in 1899, and not reaching wider audiences until a second publishing in 1920. Oliver’s channeled sketch is uncannily accurate given that he did not have access to detailed maps of the ocean floor at the time his manuscript was written in 1884-86, as none existed.
To my knowledge the only map he could have seen, had he visited a research library, would have been a basic contour map made by Sir Wyville Thomson in 1877 and released shortly after the H.M.S. Challenger survey, which contains no explicit details of the full boundaries and shape of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Compared to a modern oceanographic or bathythermic chart, there is no comparison regarding the level of detail, making Oliver’s sketch a bizarre and statistically improbable coincidence.
Frederick Oliver’s sketch of Poseid, 1886 (oriented).
(Author provided)
Yet if one traces the shape of Oliver’s channeled drawing, the curvature and geographical indentations of the landmass of Poseid are uncannily similar to the actual modern image of the Azorean seabed. In fact, it fits over the modern chart like a puzzle piece if exploded to equal size and oriented. “Pitach Rokh,” the highest point in Poseid according to Frederick Oliver’s book, was an enormous snow-capped active volcano in 11,160 BC.
Now note its location in his hand-drawn map's extreme southeast quadrant. This is very close to where the Azores jut out of the mid-Atlantic, straight “in front of the Pillars of Hercules ” as Plato stated. And from Plato’s description of the famed circular capital of Atlantis, whose central feature was a monumental statue of Poseidon surrounded by the Nereids, it would make sense that Oliver and Cayce both refer to the island as Poseid, and the culture as Atlantis.
Don’t forget that today, Mount Pico - a dormant stratovolcano and the highest point in the Azores which officially towers over the countryside at almost 7,700 feet (2,347 m) - when measured from its base deep in the ocean where once likely stood dry land some 13,000 years ago, is even taller; in fact, it would be one of the tallest mountains on earth. And so we are left with another interesting clue in our survey of these fragments of Atlantis, another piece of the puzzle as it were. Are Pitach Rokh from A Dweller on Two Planets and Mt. Pico one and the same? Time will tell, I suppose.
Athanasius Kircher's map of Atlantis, turned upside down, which located Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Even the map the Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher claims to have found in the Vatican Library during the Renaissance (above), copied from an alleged original brought to Rome from Egypt during the time of Octavian in the 1st century B.C., when flipped upside down so that Spain is oriented to the right, does, if you pay attention, show a more-similar-than-not, fin-shaped top portion of Atlantis divided by two rivers where the true-north compass symbol was placed.
And Edgar Cayce, one of the most studied clairvoyants in modern history, whose over 500 hypnogogic trance readings on Atlantis we have already explored at length, claimed that after many destructions and disturbances, but before the final separation into the separate islands of Poseid, Aryan and Og, the Atlantean landmass was crisscrossed by said rivers, even giving a date of 28,000 BC for this second of three destructions due to an unintended over-tuning of the massive Tuaoi crystal powering the civilization, which fractured the substrata. Perhaps this is the phase portrayed in Kircher’s map, whose upper portion too encompasses the Azores, and where our oceanographic chart displays that curious triangular seamount beneath the ocean.
At the end of the day, it’s all quite a coincidence if skeptics and debunkers claim unequivocally that Plato’s account of Atlantis was a pure fiction designed to glorify Athens, or at best, simply a fantastical reprise of more mundane Mediterranean disasters like the volcanic eruptions on the island of Thera in historical times, both of which I categorically reject based on the evidence thus presented throughout this book, as well as on Plato’s own frank and specific account from his dialogues which, like it or not, seems to point to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as the nucleus of the vast and powerful final iteration of the empire of Atlantis, whose imperial ambitions against the peoples of the Mediterranean were checked by its infamous and catastrophic destruction around 9,600 BC according to his seminal account.
But don’t take my word for it; it was Critias himself who explained in Plato’s Timaeus, “Let me tell you this story then, Socrates. It’s a very strange one but even so, every word of it is true. It’s a story that Solon, the wisest of the seven sages once vouched for.”

Labelled pots found in a 2,500-year-old embalming workshop have revealed the plant and animal extracts used to prepare ancient Egyptian mummies — including ingredients originating hundreds and even thousands of kilometres away.
Chemical analysis of the pots’ contents has identified complex mixtures of botanical resins and other substances, some of them from plants that grow as far away as southeast Asia. The discovery was reported in a 1 February paper in Nature1.
Previously, insights into the embalming process have come from two main sources: historical texts and chemical analyses of the mummies themselves. But linking these strands of information has proved difficult, says Salima Ikram, an archaeologist and mummy specialist at the American University in Cairo. “You might have the name of something, but you don’t know what the hell it is, except the hieroglyphics suggesting it’s an oil or a resin.”
That has now changed thanks to an underground embalming workshop discovered in 2016 at Saqqara, an ancient Egyptian burial ground in use from 2900 BC or earlier. The site also includes burial chambers, and it is likely that elite members of society were interred there, the authors say. Inside the Saqqara workshop, which dates to 664–525 BC, archaeologists discovered dozens of ceramic vessels used in the embalming process, many labelled with the ingredients they contain and their use. “This is the first time you’ve got jars with labels of the contents,” says Ikram.

To identify the specific contents of the vessels, an Egyptian–German team analysed the mixtures using a technique called gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, at a National Research Centre laboratory in Giza, Egypt. This showed that the pots contained substances previously linked to mummification, including extracts from juniper bushes, cypress trees and cedar trees, which grow in the eastern Mediterranean region. The team also found bitumen from the Dead Sea, along with animal fats and beeswax, probably of local origin.
But the researchers also identified two surprising ingredients: one resin called elemi, which comes from Canarium trees that grow in rainforests in Asia and Africa; and another called dammar that comes from Shorea trees found in tropical forests in southern India, Sri Lanka and southeast Asia.
“Egypt was resource poor in terms of many resinous substances, so many were procured or traded from distant lands,” says Carl Heron, an archaeological scientist at the British Museum in London.

But it’s not clear whether Egyptian embalmers sought out these specific ingredients or came across them through trial and error, says Ikram. “Absolutely amazing”, she says. “Who would have thought that they were getting stuff that might be coming from India?”
Ancient Egyptian embalmers had a sophisticated understanding of the raw materials’ properties, the authors say. Pots contained complex mixtures of ingredients that, in some cases, had been carefully heated or distilled. Many of the resins had antimicrobial properties — one bowl containing elemi and animal fat was inscribed “to make his odour pleasant” — or characteristics that promoted preservation.
“Their knowledge of these substances was incredible,” says study co-author Maxime Rageot, a biomolecular archaeologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
Chemical studies of mummies suggest that embalming recipes became more complex over time, notes Rageot. But one open question is how ancient Egyptians developed specific embalming procedures and recipes — and why they selected certain ingredients over others, said study co-author Mahmoud Bahgat, a biochemist at Egypt’s National Research Centre in Cairo, at a press briefing. “We need to be as clever as them to discover the intentions.”
Future Space Telescopes Could be 100 Meters Across, Constructed in Space, and Then Bent Into a Precise Shape
It is an exciting time for astronomers and cosmologists. Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have been treated to the most vivid and detailed images of the Universe ever taken. Webb‘s powerful infrared imagers, spectrometers, and coronographs will allow for even more in the near future, including everything from surveys of the early Universe to direct imaging studies of exoplanets. Moreover, several next-generation telescopes will become operational in the coming years with 30-meter (~98.5 feet) primary mirrors, adaptive optics, spectrometers, and coronographs.
Even with these impressive instruments, astronomers and cosmologists look forward to an era when even more sophisticated and powerful telescopes are available. For example, Zachary Cordero of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently proposed a telescope with a 100-meter (328-foot) primary mirror that would be autonomously constructed in space and bent into shape by electrostatic actuators. His proposal was one of several concepts selected this year by the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program for Phase I development.
Corder is the Boeing Career Development Professor in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and a member of the Aerospace Materials and Structures Lab (AMSL) and Small Satellite Center. His research integrates his expertise in processing science, mechanics, and design to develop novel materials and structures for emerging aerospace applications. His proposal is the result of a collaboration with Prof. Jeffrey Lang (from MIT’s Electronics and the Microsystems Technology Laboratories) and a team of three students with the AMSL, including Ph.D. student Harsh Girishbhai Bhundiya.
Their proposed telescope addresses a key issue with space telescopes and other large payloads that are packaged for launch and then deployed in orbit. In short, size and surface precision tradeoffs limit the diameter of deployable space telescopes to the 10s of meters. Consider the recently-launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the largest and most powerful telescope ever sent to space. To fit into its payload fairing (atop an Ariane 5 rocket), the telescope was designed so that it could be folded into a more compact form.
This included its primary mirror, secondary mirror, and sunshield, which all unfolded once the space telescope was in orbit. Meanwhile, the primary mirror (the most complex and powerful ever deployed) measures 6.5 meters (21 feet) in diameter. Its successor, the Large UV/Optical/IR Surveyor (LUVOIR), will have a similar folding assembly and a primary mirror measuring 8 to 15 meters (26.5 to 49 feet) in diameter – depending on the selected design (LUVOIR-A or -B). As Bhundiya explained to Universe Today via email:
“Today, most spacecraft antennas are deployed in orbit (e.g., Northrop Grumman’s Astromesh antenna) and have been optimized to achieve high performance and gain. However, they have limitations: 1) They are passive deployable systems. I.e. once you deploy them you cannot adaptively change the shape of the antenna. 2) They become difficult to slew as their size increases. 3) They exhibit a tradeoff between diameter and precision. I.e. their precision decreases as their size increases, which is a challenge for achieving astronomy and sensing applications that require both large diameters and high precision (e.g. JWST).”
While many in-space construction methods have been proposed to overcome these limitations, detailed analyses of their performance for building precision structures (like large-diameter reflectors) are lacking. For the sake of their proposal, Cordero and his colleagues conducted a quantitative, system-level comparison of materials and processes for in-space manufacturing. Ultimately, they determined that this limitation could be overcome using advanced materials and a novel in-space manufacturing method called Bend-Forming.
This technique, invented by researchers at the AMSL and described in a recent paper co-authored by Bhundiya and Cordero, relies on a combination of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) deformation processing and hierarchical high-performance materials. As Harsh explained it:
“Bend-Forming is a process for fabricating 3D wireframe structures from metal wire feedstock. It works by bending a single strand of wire at specific nodes and with specific angles, and adding joints to the nodes to make a stiff structure. So to fabricate a given structure, you convert it into bending instructions which can be implemented on a machine like a CNC wire bender to fabricate it from a single strand of feedstock. The key application of Bend-Forming is to manufacture the support structure for a large antenna on orbit. The process is well-suited for this application because it is low-power, can fabricate structures with high compaction ratios, and has essentially no size limit.”
In contrast to other in-space assembly and manufacturing approaches, Bend-Forming is low-power and is uniquely enabled by the extremely low-temperature environment of space. In addition, this technique enables smart structures that leverage multifunctional materials to achieve new combinations of size, mass, stiffness, and precision. Additionally, the resulting smart structures leverage multifunctional materials to achieve unprecedented combinations of size, mass, stiffness, and precision, breaking the design paradigms that limit conventional truss or tension-aligned space structures.
In addition to their native precision, Large Bend-Formed structures can use their electrostatic actuators to contour a reflector surface with sub-millimeter precision. This, said Harsh, will increase the precision of their fabricated antenna in orbit:
“The method of active control is called electrostatic actuation and uses forces generated by electrostatic attraction to precisely shape a metallic mesh into a curved shape which acts as the antenna reflector. We do this by applying a voltage between the mesh and a ‘command surface’ which consists of the Bend-Formed support structure and deployable electrodes. By adjusting this voltage, we can precisely shape the reflector surface and achieve a high-gain, parabolic antenna.”

Harsh and his colleagues deduce that this technique will allow for a deployable mirror measuring more than 100 meters (328 ft) in diameter that could achieve a surface precision of 100 m/m and a specific area of more than 10 m2/kg. This capability would surpass existing microwave radiometry technology and could lead to significant improvements in storm forecasts and an improved understanding of atmospheric processes like the hydrologic cycle. This would have significant implications for Earth Observation and exoplanet studies.
The team recently demonstrated a 1-meter (3.3 ft) prototype of an electrostatically-actuated reflector with a Bend-Formed support structure at the 2023 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) SciTech Conference, which ran from January 23rd to 27th in National Harbor, Maryland. With this Phase I NIAC grant, the team plans to mature the technology with the ultimate aim of creating a microwave radiometry reflector.
Looking ahead, the team plans to investigate how Bend-Forming can be used in geostationary orbit (GEO) to create a microwave radiometry reflector with a 15km (9.3 mi) field of view, a ground resolution of 35km (21.75 mi) and a proposed frequency span of 50 to 56 GHz – the super-high and extremely-high frequent range (SHF/EHF). This will enable the telescope to retrieve temperature profiles from exoplanet atmospheres, a key characteristic allowing astrobiologists to measure habitability.
“Our goal with the NIAC now is to work towards implementing our technology of Bend-Forming and electrostatic actuation in space,” said Harsh. “We envision fabricating 100-m diameter antennas in geostationary orbit with have Bend-Formed support structure and electrostatically-actuated reflector surfaces. These antennas will enable a new generation of spacecraft with increased sensing, communication, and power capabilities.”
A Martian Meteorite Contains Organic Compounds. The Raw Ingredients for Life?
In a recent study published in Sciences Advances, an international team of scientists led by the Technical University of Munich examined the Martian meteorite Tissint, which fell near the village of Tissint, Morocco, on July 18, 2011, with pieces of the meteorite found as far as approximately 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the village. What makes Tissint intriguing is the presence of a “huge organic diversity”, as noted in the study, which could help scientists better understand if life ever existed on Mars, and even the geologic history of Earth, as well.
“Mars and Earth share many aspects of their evolution,” Dr. Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin, who is the Director of the Research Unit Analytical Biochemistry at the Technical University of Munich, and lead author of the study, said in a statement. “And while life arose and thrived on our home planet, the question of whether it ever existed on Mars is a very hot research topic that requires deeper knowledge of our neighboring planet’s water, organic molecules, and reactive surfaces.”
Organic moleculesare molecules comprised of carbon atoms that are bonded to hydrogen atoms, but can also contain oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements, as well. The four primary classes of organic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. As seen on Earth, organic molecules are analogous to life, but the study notes that abiotic organic chemistry, non-biological processes, have been observed “in other Martian meteorites.”
“Understanding the processes and sequence of events that shaped this rich organic bounty will reveal new details about Mars’ habitability and potentially about the reactions that could lead to the formation of life,” Dr. Andrew Steele, who is a Staff Science at Carnegie Science, a member of the Mars Sample Return Campaign Science Group for NASA’s Perseverance rover, and a co-author on the study, said in a statement. Dr. Steele has also conducted extensive research pertaining to organic material found in Martian meteorites, to include Tissint.
For the study, the researchers examined the entirety of Tissint’s organic composition, and identified a “diverse chemistry and abundance in complex molecules “, as noted in the study, while also helping to unlock the past geologic processes within the crust and mantle of the Red Planet. The researchers also identified a plethora of organic magnesium compounds never before observed on Mars, which could bring new evidence about the geochemical processes that shaped Mars’ deep interior while possibly making a link between the Red Planet’s mineral evolution and carbon cycle.
NASA’s upcoming Mars Sample Return mission could provide even greater insights into both the organic and mineral composition of the Red Planet. Dr. Schmitt-Kopplin recently told Universe Today that such a mission could be just as successful as Japan’s Hayabusa2 asteroid sample return mission since they “were able to show that meteorites reflect nicely the chemistry found in the return mission, we probably will be able to do the same.”
Tissint has a total weight of 7 kilograms (15 pounds), and is currently the fifth meteorite classified as being of Martian origin, with a 2012 study estimating it was ejected from Mars approximately 700,000 years ago from some type of violent event. Tissint draws some parallels with one of the most famous meteorites of Martian origin found on Earth, ALH 84001, which was the subject of much scrutiny in the late 1990s when it was initially believed to contain microfossils, findings that since been rendered inconclusive.
“ALH 84001 was one of the most studied Mars meteorites because it was found in Antarctica and thus was ‘conserved’ in the ice with low contamination,” Dr. Schmitt-Kopplin recently told Universe Today. “That time looking at molecules of life in the diverse chemistry of that meteorite and seeing in addition biological-like features in microscopy led to a too rapid conclusion of having found Life on Mars.”

What new secrets of Mars will Tissint, future meteorites, and the future samples returned from Mars teach us about the Red Planet? Only time will tell, and this is why we science!
Watch This 12-Year Timelapse of Exoplanets Orbiting Their Star

Watch This 12-Year Timelapse of Exoplanets Orbiting Their Star
Back in 2008, astronomers made a big announcement: for the first time, they had taken pictures of a multi-planet solar system, much like ours, orbiting another star. At the time, the star system, named HR8799 was known to have three planets, but follow-up observations a year later revealed a fourth world.
Astronomers have continued to watch this intriguing star system, and now, using observations from the last 12 years, astrophysicist Jason Wang has put together a time lapse video showing the orbital motions of the four planets.
“Astronomical events either happen too quickly or too slowly to capture in a movie,” said Wang.” But this video shows planets moving on a human time scale. I hope it enables people to enjoy something wondrous.”
The dusty young star HR8799 ch is 140 light years away and about 1.5 times the size of our Sun. Even more intriguing is that HR8799 is visible to the naked eye. It has a magnitude 5.96 and it is located inside the western edge of the great square of Pegasus almost exactly halfway between Scheat and Markab.
The planets were imaged using high-contrast, near-infrared adaptive optics observations with the Keck and Gemini telescopes. In a press release from Northwestern University, Wang said he was instantly fascinated by the system when the news broke in 2008, and has been watching it ever since. He and his colleagues applied for time on the W. M. Keck Observatory, located on the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, to observe the system each year.
Using 12 years of imaging data, Wang put together the time lapse video, which shows the entire time period in a condensed 4.5-second time lapse.
“There’s nothing to be gained scientifically from watching the orbiting systems in a time lapse video, but it helps others appreciate what we’re studying,” Wang said. “It can be difficult to explain the nuances of science with words. But showing science in action helps others understand its importance.”

The outer planet orbits inside a dusty disk, much like our own Kuiper belt. Astronomers says it is one of the most massive disks known around any star within 300 light years of Earth. There is an additional debris disk just inside the orbit of the innermost planet – which was the fourth planet to be found. Astronomers say that would be room in the inner system for terrestrial planets. The planet nearest the star takes about 45 Earth years to make one revolution. The farthest planet, on the other hand, takes nearly 500 years to orbit the star.
Wang and his collaborators aren’t finished making observations of this system, and now are examining the light emitted from the star and its planets in order to better understand what they are made of.
“In astrophysics, most of the time we are doing data analysis or testing hypotheses,” he said. “But this is the fun part of science. It inspires awe.”
Pole Shift Is Happening! Earth's Magnetic Field Is Getting Weaker! Feb 2023
Pole Shift Is Happening! Earth's Magnetic Field Is Getting Weaker! Feb 2023
Pole Shift Is Happening! Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Getting Weaker! Feb 2023
If you are not aware there are two North Poles.
True North (located on a map)
Magnetic North (the magnetic North force that a compass points to)
The Magnetic North Pole moves and bounces around, however it has been making its way to this magnetic anomaly located in Russia. The Magnetic Pole started moving back in the 1800s, but always seemed to move and then bounce back and repeat. However, over the last 11 years, the magnetic pole has been moving very fast and is currently moving a rate of 5.25 miles ever 30 days!
According to experts, past Pole Reversals happened every 12,000 years. However, experts say that a full reversal has not taken place for 36,000 years! Talk about overdue.
It is currently 71 miles from a specific point knows at the 40 degree marker. At a rate of 5 miles per month, that puts the magnetic pole position at the 40 degree mark by March of 2023!
What happens to the Poles at the 40 degree mark?
Well, like any two magnets that attract to one another, a stronger magnet can make another flip completely. Based on what I have researched, that 40 degree marker is where the pull becomes so strong that it can cause a reversal, or some kind of permanent shift; or could flip the North and South magnetic or electromagnetic grid.
We do know that the electromagnetic field that protects life on earth (whether the earth is a sphere or a flat plane) is weakening as this Pole moves toward this anomaly in Russia. During the reversal the electromagnetic grid will be affected. The weather could change, atmosphere may change, even if temporarily; some say there will be something else completely, but let's get into this further.
How can this Pole Reversal or Shift change things?
Weather
Will you live in tropical weather if you live in the North East of the USA? I have no idea! However, some reports say that we are to go into the opposite; and experience an arctic freeze like many earth cycles in the past. Other theories are that a Great Solar Flash could take place; some say it will be the end; and others, like NASA say, "Though they sound scary, pole flips can take a long time to occur and pose no immediate threat."
If NASA says, "everything is fine"... it is fine...right...right?
In my experience and research, I have found coverup after coverup when it comes to NASA or any space program. One thing I CAN agree with NASA on is that this can change our weather patterns.
Our weather patterns have been changing for years and strange weather patterns have been increasing as time goes on; more earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and more have been on the uptick across the board! Are these related? Yes, common sense would tell you they are; but common sense seems to be missing in our sciences these days.
Schumann Resonance
Additionally, changes in the Schumann Resonance could greatly effect humans as a whole! Why? Well studies show that this frequency that the earth emits is connected to the human body, like a life force. It is true! The frequency or natural earth heartbeat is at about 7.8 Hz. When the human being lacks this frequency of 7.8 Hz, it can become ill both physically and mentally. Say Whaaaaat??!
That's right, you cannot live without this Schumann Resonance and the Earth's frequency, at least not for long and not in a healthy way. Since, the earth and the human body are connected, it would make sense that the body will be effected by this pole reversal since the Schumann Resonance is measured based on the atmospheric electromagnetic resonance. If the frequency of the atmosphere is changed, it will have effects on humans in some way.
You are vibrating particles, everything you see is frequency; just vibrating at different rates. Changes in earths Frequency will effect the human body, but will it effect it in a negative or positive way? That has yet to be determined, seen, experienced and recorded for future generations. Until then, we wait and hope that someone will come up with some more answers.
Conclusion and Final Thoughts on all this...
There is no way our changes in weather; the uptick in natural disaster; the desire for populations control and the FACT that the Pole Reversal is not even on the News are completely unrelated. The push to convince people that "Global Warming" will be our demise is, at this point, BOLOGNI!
The FACTS are this:
Main stream news has not reported on this at all!
NASA is basically reporting there is "nothing to see here."
No one at any of the Observatories are reporting on this either but ONE! Maverick Star Observatory
This has not happened for 36,000 years! An epic moment for humans on Earth and NO ONE even knows!
The changes in the poles will effect the electromagnetic grid, the Schumann resonance and all life forms in some way.
For Fun, here are some THEORIES of what may happen:
The Great Solar Flash a.k.a The Event
Complete chaos and catastrophe
Reversal of the weather patterns
The sun will rise in the west and set in the east
Complete ice age
3 days of darkness will commence
The veil will be lifted to all spiritual realms and dimensions
Additional lands and realms outside of our knowledge will be unlocked
There will be two suns in our sky, the current one and one from the central sun (inner earth)
The Return of Jesus (Jeshua), the end of all lies and the beginning of truth; Revelation
Some will unlock powers they never knew they had such as telepathy, healing and psychic abilities.
Who owns these pyramid-shaped UFOs that are flying in restricted airspace?
Who owns these pyramid-shaped UFOs that are flying in restricted airspace?
Over the years, reports of pyramid-shaped UFOs have surfaced online.
For example on December 18, 2009, a large triangle-shaped craft hovered above Red Square in Moscow and on December 18, 2018 a pyramid-shaped UFO was spotted over the Pentagon. That same year a leaked footage surfaced online of a meeting at the UN where the pyramid-shaped UFO was also discussed.
During the meeting Maria Garces said that on December at 4.07 pm an extraterrestrial contact occurred. A metal object, shaped like a pyramid appeared over the Pentagon, Washington DC, USA. The unidentified object with a diameter around 100 meters rotated around its own axis at an altitude of around 500 meters.
NASA operational task group, specializing in the receiving and processing of space data; received incoming data from the object. The data (information from the radars, the visual information and the fixation of the radio signals incoming from the UFO). After analyzing all data of the object that hovered over the Pentagon, NASA explained that the object can be identified as an craft of unknown origin, hypothetically of extraterrestrial origin.
The question is, who are they, where are they from, and what is their intention? Moreover, while the US shoots down an alleged Chinese spy balloon with a stinger missile (if you have to believe the hyped stories of the mainstream media about the Chinese spy balloon) then why are these unknown craft equipped with advanced and sophisticated technology allowed to fly with impunity within restricted airspace.
