NASA's Opportunity rover has begun examining ancient clays on Mars that would have formed in the presence of water with neutral acidity and stumbled across an intriguing new geologic puzzle.
Sepp Hasslberger's insight:
Mars is not the only place in this solar system where life has (or could have) existed. So NASA, after telling us that no way Mars could have life for some decades now seems to be "softening" to the evidence, or has a decision been made to slowly get us closer to the reality that there really IS life out there? We should be hearing more shortly, if that is the case...

Vast supplies of water ice and organic material on Mercury were found by NASA's Messenger probe.
Messenger's neutron spectrometer spotted hydrogen, which is a large component of water ice. But the temperature profile unexpectedly showed that dark, volatile materials – consistent with climes in which organics survive – are mixing in with the ice.

People around the world are noticing that our planet's weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have lead millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs.
My comment: Finally a proper documentary about chemtrails. Worth watching - and telling others about.

Prof. dr. Wubbo J. Ockels is a Dutch physicist, and also the Netherlands original astronaut. He is a Professor of Aerospace Sustainable Engineering and Technology at the University of Delft, and tries to stimulate a mentality change among Dutch citizens.
In this mind-bending TEDxAmsterdam talk, Ockels explains how time is created by human beings, as a way for our brains to make sense of gravity.
The speed of light is constant, because it depends on our time, which is made by us: its the clock by which we have calibrated our existence. Based on this premise, Ockels proposes a new way to explore life in our galaxy.

Sean Ragan of MAKE magazine just posted this amazing graphic, which he tracked down after being mildly obsessed with it for more than a decade. It’s an “Integrated Space Plan” drawn up by Rockwell International, a conglomerate of manufacturing companies in the aerospace, electronics, and truck component industries. The plan was created in the ’80s, and is supposed to be a detailed flow chart for establishing a permanent human presence in space. And it. Is. Amazing. You can click to make this teeny version a little bigger, but for serious evaluation you should get the PDF from MAKE. Once you do that, you can try to actually follow the plan — it runs chronologically from top to bottom, the arrowed lines denote “evolutionary, supporting, or synergistic relationships” and “communication/data links,” and big circles are “plateaus of human technological achievement.” Or you can just bask in the fractal weirdness of the thing. Nodes on the chart include goals like “Interstellar Traversing World Ships” and “Create New Moons for Mars If Required.”
As far as I can tell we’re currently supposed to be in the “Routine Access to Space Achieved” plateau AND the “Biplanetary Civilization Evolves to Exploit Extraterrestrial Resources” plateau, so we can see how well this is working out..

A portal is a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown - an extraordinary opening in space or time that connects travelers to distant realms.
Thinking SCI-FI? Well, read on.
NASA-funded researcher and plasma physicist Jack Scudder of the University of Iowa claims he has figured out a way how to find them. ”We call them X-points or electron diffusion regions,” he explains.
“They’re places where the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted path leading from our own planet to the Sun’s atmosphere 93 million miles away.”

"It is a fact that psychological warfare has been used to keep the truth behind the UFO/flying saucer phenomenon and the extraterrestrial hypothesis from the public.
The movie industry has been a part of this secret effort. Scriptwriters and movie producers have been covertly recruited to assist the officially sanctioned government policy of educating the public that there is no truth to the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
Yet whistleblowers and witnesses have come forward to reveal the reality of extraterrestrials among us...

"The company, called Planetary Resources, Inc., intends to mine 100 or more near-Earth asteroids for resources including water and various precious metals."
"Space resources are “just so valuable” and “really are the low-hanging fruit of the solar system,” co-founder and co-chairman Eric Anderson told SPACE.com. The idea is to generate resources in space sufficient to impel additional colonization efforts, creating a network of veritable “in-space gas stations” to fuel ongoing and expanding operations."
My comment:
Should space be a commons? Or should it be "first come, first served"?
If space and what flies around out there, including other planets and stars, are to be a commons, who is to administer/steward it, and under what interstellar code of law?
The sooner we ask those questions and find answers to them, the better. Otherwise we'll have another "Wild West" up there, with life on other rocks endangered just because "we need the minerals they sit on"...

Humanity needs to be much better prepared for massive solar storms, which can wreak havoc on our technology-dependent society, a prominent researcher warns. Powerful blasts from the Sun have triggered intense geomagnetic storms on Earth before, and they'll do so again.
But at the moment our ability to predict these events and guard against their worst consequences - which can include interruptions of power grids and satellite navigation systems - is lacking, says Mike Hapgood of the British research and technology agency RAL Space.
"We need a much better understanding of the likelihood of space weather disruptions and their impacts, and we need to develop that knowledge quickly," Hapgood, head of RAL Space's space environment group, writes in a commentary in the April 19 issue of the journal Nature.

A gigantic UFO was discovered by a Google Sky user poring over the constellation Sirius which looks man-made. There is no spacecraft in that region of deep space. So what is it? The unidentified flying object looks like a satellite with massive solar panels powering its flight. But its size in relation to the surrounding star field is larger than any satellite ever launched.
"The object seems transparent with stars visible in front and behind it. If the object was added as an image overlay, who put it there? Is Google aware that the program may have been hacked?"
"Searching the sky in the constellation of Sirius, the Dog Star, reveals the UFO and another strange object floating nearby. It seems to be metallic and is shaped aerodynamically."
This is probably not an object made by extraterrestrials, so that’s not the issue raised by the video. The question is, has NASA launched a secret spacecraft, for whatever publicly unknown purpose? What is it being used for?

Cameras of all kinds, from the delicate instruments on satellites to the cameras in your mobile phones can suffer from image artifacts and lens flares, caused by a bright light source scattering and reflecting around the optics. If Google Sky cannot display an image, and we know which imagery Google uses, we can go straight to the source and search the catalogs directly, as you can see in this video. Different programs contain different sets of imagery, WikiSky for example allows us to see imagery from IRAS, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, one of the original sources for the Planet X claims back in the 1980s.
While searching through the following sites appears a lot more complex than looking through Google, these links will go straight to the data that is being used by these sky programs, and will also have a lot more information about that point in space, depending on how much we want to find out. At it's simplest, you will only need to know the coordinates of the region in space you want to look at, and, handily, this information is usually always given in a video that claims something is being hidden. NASA SkyView Virtual Observatory is the easiest to use, enter your coordinates, select a survey and away you go. The SDSS DR7 Finding Chart Tool contains the latest imagery from the SDSS, but be aware that only 25-30% of the sky has been surveyed here, so chances are you'll also find a blank image, but the reason for it is known - the survey has not covered this region of space. The Hubble Space Telescope has done a lot of work, but has also not surveyed all of the sky, so again, chances are you might not find anything here. The Infrared Science Archive contains many surveys, including those of IRAS and 2MASS, as well as a Finder Chart tool that allows you to quickly compare images. In the case of the video above, the image that opens the video is described as a leaked photo from the South Pole Telescope (SPT), and links it to the black box in Google Sky. We can of course check from the sources above what is actually behind the black boxes, should any photographs be shown claiming to be the original content, but in this case we can pursue another route. |

A physics student from Egypt's Sohag University, Aisha Mustafa, 19, has patented a new type of propulsion system based on quantum theory that she says could propel space probes and artificial satellites without using any fuel.
Mustafa believes it is possible to use vacuum energy fields to create propulsion and build spacecraft propulsion systems that need little or no fuel to travel in space.
Mustafa expressed her appreciation to her faculty and university staff for providing materials, resources and support. She, however, lamented that there is no funding for a department of space science in her university and in Egyptian universities in general. She said this prevents development and research in the field of space technology.
She said: “Departments of astronomy and physics are only available. Although they are related to space sciences but unfortunately they aren’t into the specific field of my invention and they can’t practically test or implement it.”

The low prices the US entrepreneur is quoting for his new Falcon 9 vehicle mean it is winning contracts that in the past would have gone to Ariane.
Mr Musk said that the cost of producing the current European rocket would kill it as a commercial entity.

Huntsville AL (SPX) Sep 25, 2012 -
The estimated mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the galaxy.
If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it also could be an explanation for what is known as the "missing baryon" problem for the galaxy.
Baryons are particles, such as protons and neutrons, that make up more than 99.9 percent of the mass of atoms found in the cosmos. Measurements of extremely distant gas halos and galaxies indicate the baryonic matter present when the universe was only a few billion years old represented about one-sixth the mass and density of the existing unobservable, or dark, matter.
In the current epoch, about 10 billion years later, a census of the baryons present in stars and gas in our galaxy and nearby galaxies shows at least half the baryons are unaccounted for.

An astronomer has proposed the existence of an unseen planet in the distant outskirts of the solar system. It would explain the peculiar motions of Kuiper belt objects.
"A planet four times the size of Earth may be skirting the edges of the solar system beyond Pluto, according to new research. Too distant to be easily spotted by Earth-based telescopes, the unseen planet could be gravitationally tugging on small icy objects past Neptune, helping explain the mystery of those objects' peculiar orbits."
"The claim comes from Rodney Gomes, a noted astronomer at the National Observatory of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro."

All what we believe is real, our whole physical world, is - in fact - an illusion being proved by the holographic universe, one of the most remarkable theories of 20th century.
Energy fields are decoded by our brains into a 3D picture, to give the illusion of a physical world.
Despite its apparent materiality, the universe is a kind of 3-D projection and is ultimately no more real than a hologram.
"Our brain mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately from another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time:
The brain is a hologram enfolded in a holographic universe!"

UFO Near Sun: Astounding NASA Video from an orbiting NASA telescope reveals bizarre, UFO-like object siphoning energy from the sun.
(My comment:) There are several videos embedded in this article, showing what seems to be a giant (larger-than-earth) round object getting close to the sun, drawing in something through tornado-like tubes and then leaving.
What was that? is the question asked in the article.
Is our reality really so limited that we cannot conceive we might be observing a giant space ship using the sun as a reservoir of energy from which to replenish its own reserves?
