We are seeing so many remarkable pre-announcement pieces showing up, this is a place to post and discuss them. This one for example, is making discoveries sound 'ho hum' which a few months/years ago were heralded as amazing breakthroughs. Today for example: 

"Nearly Every Star Hosts at Least One Alien Planet"

http://news.yahoo.com/nearly-every-star-hosts-least-one-alien-plane...

When a month or so ago they were making a BIG deal about finding one planet in the sweet zone which could possibly support life, son they they say 25% of them could support life! Including mention of red dwarfs, etc. The Zeta predicted evidence continues to build up!

Here is another blog that relates, describing a wobble:

Monster asteroid which 'could cause earthquakes and volcanoes' will skim past Earth on Xmas Eve

Scientists now believe this asteroid, and some others, could be even bigger than calculated as it is thought part of their mass may have been shrouded in darkness

A colossal asteroid so big some claim its gravitational pull could cause earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth is set to skim past the planet on Christmas Eve...

The news may fuel rumours by conspiracy theorists that a mysterious Planet X four times the size of Jupiter will pass the Earth this month.

Longer days ahead: Melting ice caps causing Earth's rotation to slow down, says study

Much has been reported about how global climate change is causing polar ice caps to melt, which results in rising sea levels predicted to inundate entire countries.

A new study conducted by researchers from the Harvard University, however, revealed a quite unexpected result of melting glaciers: the slowing down of the Earth's rotation, which means longer days.

The study, published this week in the journal Science Advances, concluded that shrinking glaciers are affecting the speed of the Earth's rotation and how our planet is tilted on its own axis by redistributing all the once-frozen water around the world.

When the ice caps melt, the water shifts from the poles toward the equator, causing the Earth to have extra girth or a wider midsection. This ultimately leads to a slower rotating planet.

Physics Professor Mathieu Dumberry of the University of Alberta, a co-author of the study, compared the Earth to a spinning figure skater.

He explained to CBC News that a spinning figure skater will slow down his or her circular movement if he or she extends the arms on both sides—much like how the Earth is slightly expanding due to the melting polar ice caps.

In total, the researchers calculated that a day on Earth has already been a millisecond longer over the past century due to this phenomenon.

Dumberry explained that they were able to reach this figure by using the traditional way of identifying changes in the speed of the Earth's rotation: by looking at records of ancient eclipses recorded by civilisations such as the Babylonians.

To make a more conclusive observation, the research team also observed changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

"It's like a hamster in a wheel. The hamster runs in one direction and the wheel [turns] in the other. Earth's core has accelerated," Dumberry explained to CBC News. "It has been moving slightly faster in the past 3,000 years."

Climate Change Is Making the Earth Wobble

As pollution from burning fossil fuels continues to heat the atmosphere, the world’s glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate. Scientists widely agree that this meltwater has been a major factor in raising global sea levels about seven inches over the 20th century.

The movement of all that water is affecting the Earth’s rotation, according to a study published Friday in the journal Science.

“If you are melting glaciers from high latitudes—in Alaska, Greenland, or Iceland—you move mass away from the pole, toward the equator, which slows the Earth down,” said Jerry Mitrovica, the study’s lead author and a Harvard geophysicist who specializes in studying sea level change. “The change in the distribution of the mass from the poles to lower latitudes also causes the rotation to wobble slightly, because it’s being redistributed unequally.”

That change in rotation added a microsecond to the course of a day over the 20th century.

The study showed that “glacier melt over the 20th century would have increased the duration of a day by maybe a millisecond,” said Mitrovica. While small, the change “can tell you something about how things are melting,” he said, and is a striking example of how human activities are altering Earth’s systems.

For the first time, researchers have mathematically detected glacier meltwater’s movement from higher altitudes to the ocean basins in the speed of the Earth’s rotation.

The finding is yet more proof that greenhouse gas emissions are having an enormous impact on the Earth’s climate. “This very subtle effect, Earth’s rotation, is a way to monitor how much ice sheets are melting and adds to how we are monitoring sea level rise,” Mitrovica said.

“And more important, it shows that even these very subtle effects support the scientific consensus that we’re affecting the climate, and that effect is accelerating,” he added.

In the study, Mitrovica and his colleagues updated and corrected how scientists calculate the known impacts on the Earth’s spin and axis resulting from the end of the last ice age. In the process, they may have solved a 13-year-old conundrum in earth science called “Munk’s enigma,” which asked why the influx of water from melting glaciers wasn’t apparent in measurements of the Earth’s rotation.

“It is an important additional tool in understanding the mass balance of ice sheets, and we need as many of those as we can get,” Mitrovica said. Source: news.yahoo.com

Astronomers question claim of super planet found at solar system’s ...

New papers say "Super Earth" may orbit the Sun at six times the distance of Pluto.

Scientists and amateur astronomers have long been fascinated by the possibility of a "Planet X" at the edge of the solar system that may explain some apparent anomalies in the orbits of planets such as Neptune and Uranus. However, in recent years, astronomers have largely ruled out the possibility of a large, unseen planet far beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Research groups from Sweden and Mexico have now submitted pre-prints of two research papers to arXiv (here and here) that claim to have discovered a massive object at the edge of the solar system. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile during 2014 and 2015, the astronomers spied "a new blackbody point source" that appears to be moving in conjunction with the Alpha Centauri star system, about 4.3 light years from Earth.

Did The Solar System Just Gain Two New Worlds?

A pair of scientific papers suggest that the ALMA observatory may have detected 2 new 'planet-scale' objects associated with the outer realms of the solar system. But should we be awed or skeptical?

Not all pre-announcement signs are for an increased disclosure, some are the opposite:

Young people who question the Government or media may be extremists, officials tell parents

A leaflet distributed as part of an anti-extremism drive says these signs are 'specific' to radicalisation

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/young-people-who-ques...

Child protection officials been criticised after warning parents that young people who take issue with government policy or question what they are told in the media may have been radicalised by extremists.

A leaflet drawn up by an inner-city child safeguarding board warns that “appearing angry about government policies, especially foreign policies” is a sign “specific to radicalisation”.

Parents and carers have also been advised by the safeguarding children board in the London Borough of Camden that “showing a mistrust of mainstream media reports and a belief in conspiracy theories” could be a sign that children are being groomed by extremists.

Bella Sankey, policy director at the campaign group Liberty, criticised the leaflet.

“Children should be encouraged to take an interest in politics and think critically about what they see in the media, not deemed suspect for so doing,” she said.

3,500-Year-Old Sunken Town Discovered In Croatia

Archeologists in Croatia announced their discovery of a 3,500-year-old sunken town in Adriatic Sea near Zadar, a southern coastal city. The ancient settlement and port was found in the sea between the islands of Ricula and Galesnjak in the Pasman Channel in 2014.

President Obama brought up "Roswell and the aliens and UFOs" in 

President Obama and Bill Simmons: The GQ Interview (11/17/15)

http://www.gq.com/story/president-obama-bill-simmons-interview-gq-m...

Have you ever said, “Give me the JFK-assassination files, I want to read them. Give me all the secret stuff”?

I gotta tell you, it’s a little disappointing. People always ask me about Roswell and the aliens and UFOs, and it turns out the stuff going on that’s top secret isn’t nearly as exciting as you expect. In this day and age, it’s not as top secret as you’d think.

Tsunami devastated Europe 8,150 years ago: Huge waves swept hundreds of miles down the North Sea after the last Ice Age

  • A huge landslide under the Norwegian Sea triggered the powerful tsunami
  • Waves of up to 65 feet high hit Iceland, Greenland, Norway and Britain
  • The tsunami was so powerful it swept all the way down the North Sea

It was a time when stone-age hunter gatherers were spreading across northern Europe and into Britain as the glaciers of the last ice age retreated.

But just as these mesolithic tribes were settling in these newly uncovered areas a giant tsunami triggered by an underwater landslide off the coast of Norway devastated large parts of Europe.

Waves of up to 65 feet (20 metres) are thought to have smashed into Iceland, Greenland, Norway Scotland and parts of England's northern coastline.

A huge landslide of Ice Age sediment under the Norwegian Sea 8,150 years ago (illustrated) produced a tsunami so powerful it swept hundreds of miles down the North Sea and created waves of up to 65 feet high

Scientists have now uncovered evidence that shows just how powerful these huge waves were and the huge area that they effected.

Sediment discovered on the south west coast of Denmark shows the waves spread out across the Norwegian Sea and penetrated deep into the North Sea.

COLLAPSE OF VOLCANO TRIGGERED MEGA TSUNAMI 73,000 YEARS AGO

A tsunami of biblical proportions triggered by the sudden collapse of a volcano generated a wave nearly 1,000ft high, scientists have discovered.

The event occurred 73,000 years ago in the Cape Verde Islands off west Africa, long before there were any coastal cities that might have been flattened by the deluge.

But some experts fear a similar giant collapse could present a real threat today, especially around volcanic islands.

The ancient collapse occurred at Fogo, one of the world's largest and most active island volcanoes that today towers more than 9,000ft (2,743m) above sea level. 

An estimated 40 cubic miles (167 cubic kilometres) of rock fell into the ocean at once, resulting in an 800ft (244m) high tsunami that engulfed an island more than 30 miles away (48km).

By comparison, the largest known recent tsunamis, which devastated Indian ocean coasts in 2004 and eastern Japan in 2011, attained maximum heights of around 100ft (30m). 

Waves of at least six feet tall (2m) would have been powerful enough to sweep people off their feet if they had been unfortunate enough to be standing on the Danish coast at the time.

Writing in the journal Geology, Dr Mikkel Freurgaard, a geologist at the University of Copenhagen and his colleagues who conducted the study, said: 'Our results demonstrate that the Storegga tsunami propagated 900–1000 km (559-621 miles) across the shallow continental shelf of the North Sea.

'This implies that the Storegga slide tsunami probably impacted the entire coast of the southeastern North Sea.'

The tsunami is thought to have been triggered when a 120 mile long stretch of sediments that had accumulated off the coast of Norway during the Ice Age broke free of the continental shelf and plunged into the depths 8,150 years ago.

The area of seabed is thought to have been roughly the samne size as Iceland and was up to 111 feet thick.

This huge underwater landslide, known as the Storegga slide, sent waves out in all directions, causing huge tsunamis to sweep over the coastline of Norway and Iceland.

The waves also raced south engulfing the Faroe Island, Orkney and large parts of the coastline of mainland Britain.

Previous studies, however, have found that friction from the shallow seabed in the North Sea would have dissipated the tsunami's energy and so doubted it would have reached far down the west coast of mainland Europe.

The latest findings, however, which are published in the journal Geology, have shown that sediment on the island of Rømø on the west coast of Denmark, contain material carried by the powerful tsunami waves.

At the time sea levels would have been 65 feet (20m) lower than they are currently and the area was covered by a large lake.

Dr Freurgaard told Science Nordic: 'At some point there was a big inundation of sea water, which dumped a lot of marine sand at the bottom of the lack, along with (organic) material from the edges of the lake and the lake bottom.'

Nicolai Kliem, head of the sea and ice section at the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen who was not involved in the study, added: 'The fact the tsunami reached Denmark suggests that it was very strong.' 

Tsunamis are one of the most devastating forces of nature and have claimed thousands of lives in recent years. The picture above shows a tsunami wave crashing into a street in Miyako City in northeast Japan following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the area in 2011
