Small Moon Discovered Orbiting Dwarf Planet Makemake (June 28, 2016)

Scientists have discovered a small moon orbiting Makemake, a dwarf planet found at the edge of our solar system in the Kuiper Belt region.

“Makemake’s moon proves that there are still wild things waiting to be discovered, even in places people have already looked,” said Alex Parker, lead author of the paper detailing the findings, in a statement.

ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for June 25, 2016

Prong 2 sought to answer why “Planet 9” evaded discovery for so long by suggesting that Hubble and Kepler and WISE looked afar, at bright objects, so that anything close in or somewhat dim would be missed. As evidence of this, the ESO’s observatory in Chile had discovered several exoplanets overlooked by the other sky mapping enterprises. Prong2’s agenda is to place into the public mind that an object such as Nibiru, shrouded by dust, could sneak into the Solar System unnoticed. To this end we have the newly announced second moon of Earth, an orbiting asteroid, just recently “discovered” by NASA.

And another one "found" ...

New 'large and bright' dwarf planet discovered in our solar system

"The new dwarf planet, dubbed 2015 RR245, has such a huge, highly elliptical orbit that it takes an astonishing 700 Earth years to complete one trip around the sun, and it ventures over 120 times further away from the sun than our planet does."

A radical new theory has claimed the mysterious 'Planet Nine' might...

Planet Nine is mention in the article : Scientists noticed that rebel Niku seems to be hanging around a gang of other strangely aligned objects. At first glance, the scientists thought that this might suggest that Planet Nine, a hypothetical planet that would be about as much as 10 times as massive as Earth, might be pulling on the objects.

But it turns out that the rebellious object would be out of Planet Nine's reach, too free-living to succumb to the undiscovered planet's gravitational attraction.

So exactly what's going on is still a mystery. https://amp.businessinsider.com/niku-mysterious-object-orbiting-bey...

What Will You Do When The Lights Go Out? The Inevitable Failure Of The US Grid

Aug 12, 2016, 5:27 PM CDT

Some key points of the article:

Despite a few billion dollars being thrown at the grid to improve its resiliency or reliability, the number of outages due to weather is expected to increase, assuming that climate change will indeed intensify extreme weather, as some predict.

What we are certain of, is that severe weather will continue to stress and threaten our power grid. And unless something changes, ultimately, it will fail. So when we talk about reliability, we’re talking about “when” and “for how long” scenarios, not “what if”.

The how-long factor plays a huge role into how bad is “bad”; not because of the events that one knows will follow, which includes mass food spoilage, deaths due to overheating in the hot summer months, deaths due to freezing in the cold regions, and the halting of everything we take for granted these days—airlines, internet and most other forms of communication.

In the context of blackouts, we saw this in 1977, when a lightning strike in New York on a Hudson River substation tripped two circuit breakers, causing power to be diverted in order to protect the circuit. The chain of events that followed ended in an entire blackout for the area, which led to mass rioting, over 1000 deliberately set fires, the looting of 1600 stores, and the eventual arrest of 4,500 perpetrators and the injury of 550 officers, according to some estimates. The power was only out for 25 hours, and in one area.

In all likelihood, the haves (those who have removed themselves from the grid and prepared accordingly) will soon be overrun by the have-nots in the event of any extended blackout, with heavily populated areas taking the brunt of the chaos—and your solar roof panels or generator will not suffice as your savior.

Home from home: Scientists may have discovered an Earth-like planet with water

https://www.rt.com/viral/356189-earth-like-planet-water/

The as of yet unnamed planet orbits the small Proxima Centauri star, which, other than the sun, is the closest star to Earth, located only 4.25 lightyears away.

According to Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine, the exoplanet is located in the so called “Goldilocks zone” or “habitable zone,” meaning it orbits the star at a distance which would be favorable to having liquid water on the surface, which is vital for supporting life.

"Never before have scientists discovered a second Earth that is so close by," the report said, citing an unnamed source at the ESO, who themselves have neither confirmed or denied their rumored announcement.

"We were surprised to see the article in Der Spiegel and do not know the source," ESO spokesman Richard Hook told Space.com. "ESO has no further comment to make at present."

If true, the planet’s discovery will come just over a year after NASA found two other exoplanets outside the solar system - Kepler-452b and HD 219134b.

'Strong signal' stirs interest in hunt for alien life

http://phys.org/news/2016-08-strong-alien-life.html

A "strong signal" detected by a radio telescope in Russia that is scanning the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial life has stirred interest among the scientific community.

"No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilization, but it is certainly worth further study," said Paul Gilster, author of the Centauri Dreams website which covers peer-reviewed research on deep space exploration.

The signal is from the direction of a HD164595, a star about 95 light-years from Earth.

The star is known to have at least one planet, and may have more.

The observation is being made public now, but was actually detected last year by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya, Russia, he said.

Experts say it is far too early to know what the signal means or where, precisely,it came from.

"But the signal is provocative enough that the RATAN-600 researchers are calling for permanent monitoring of this target," wrote Gilster.

The discovery is expected to feature in discussions at the 67th International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, on September 27.

"Working out the strength of the signal, the researchers say that if it came from an isotropic beacon, it would be of a power possible only for a Kardashev Type II civilization," Gilster wrote, referring to a scale-system that indicates a civilization far more advanced than our own.

"If it were a narrow beam signal focused on our Solar System, it would be of a power available to a Kardashev Type I civilization," indicating one closer to Earth's capabilities.

Gilster, who broke the story on August 27, said he had seen a presentation on the matter from Italian astronomer Claudio Maccone.

"Permanent monitoring of this target is needed," said the presentation.

Nick Suntzeff, a Texas A&M University astronomer told the online magazine Ars Technica that the 11 gigahertz signal was observed in part of the radio spectrum used by the military.

"If this were a real astronomical source, it would be rather strange," Suntzeff was quoted as saying.

"God knows who or what broadcasts at 11Ghz, and it would not be out of the question that some sort of bursting communication is done between ground stations and satellites," Suntzeff said.

"I would follow it if I were the astronomers, but I would also not hype the fact that it may be at SETI signal given the significant chance it could be something military."

Astronomers just discovered two of the closest-orbiting twin stars ever

http://www.sciencealert.com/astronomers-just-discovered-two-of-the-...

And this isn't just any old binary star system – these stars, called HD 133131A and HD 133131B, are the the closest-orbiting twin stars that scientists have ever found in a binary system where both the stars host planets.

That might not sound close to you and me, but for a binary star, it's pretty intimate, all things considered, with the next comparable closest binary system having a separation of around 1,000 AU between its two stars.

Brown dwarfs hiding in plain sight in our solar neighborhood

http://phys.org/news/2016-09-brown-dwarfs-plain-sight-solar.html

"Everyone will benefit from the study of brown dwarfs, because they can often be found in isolation, which means that we can more easily gather precise data on their properties without a bright star blinding our instruments," Gagné said, who is also a collaborator of the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx) at Université de Montréal.

(the implication being that the sun would be blinding our instruments, if a supposed brown dwarf was near it)

To that end, the team, led by Jasmin Robert of Université de Montréal, believed that although hundreds of ultracool brown dwarfs have already been discovered, the techniques used to identify them were overlooking those with more-unusual compositions, which would not show up in the color-based surveys generally used.

So they surveyed 28 percent of the sky and discovered 165 ultracool brown dwarfs, about a third of which have unusual compositions or other peculiarities...  

"The search for ultracool brown dwarfs in the neighborhood of our own Solar System is far from over," said Gagné. "Our findings indicate that many more are hiding in existing surveys."

(Zetas right again!! Didnt the zetas say that the scientific community will look like they missed Nibiru & "happen to find it" by going through previous surveys??)

Pluto Probe Spots Distant Dwarf Planet Quaoar (Photos)

http://www.space.com/33921-dwarf-planet-quaoar-new-horizons-photos....

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured this image of the dwarf planet Quaoar in July 2016, from a distance of 1.3 billion miles (2.1 billion kilometers).

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has photographed a distant dwarf planet cruising through the dark depths of the outer solar system.

New Horizons captured images of the mysterious, 690-mile-wide (1,110 kilometers) Quaoar at four different times on July 13 and July 14 — exactly one year after the probe's historic July 14, 2015, flyby of Pluto.

New Horizons was 1.3 billion miles (2.1 billion km) from Quaoar when it took the photos with its Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera, so the dwarf planet is not sharply resolved. But even such fuzzy views have scientific value, NASA officials said. [Destination Pluto: NASA's New Horizons Mission in Pictures]

"With the oblique view available from New Horizons, LORRI sees only a portion of Quaoar's illuminated surface, which is very different from the nearly fully illuminated view of the dwarf planet from Earth," NASA officials wrote in an image description today (Aug. 31). "Comparing Quaoar from the two very different perspectives gives mission scientists a valuable opportunity to study the light-scattering properties of Quaoar's surface."

Quaoar (pronounced kwa-whar) was discovered in 2002 and has not officially been designated a dwarf planet, but it almost certainly qualifies, researchers have said. Dwarf planets need to be massive enough to be shaped into a sphere by their own gravity; with a diameter of 690 miles, Quaoar is larger than the officially recognized dwarf planet Ceres.

Quaoar lies an average of 43 astronomical units (AU) from the sun and completes one lap around the star every 286 Earth years. (One AU is the average distance from Earth to the sun — about 93 million miles, or 150 million km.) The object has one known moon.

The newly released images also show a number of background stars and two galaxies, known as IC 1048 and UGC 09485, both of which are about 370 billion times farther from New Horizons than Quaoar is, agency officials added.

As the Quaoar observations show, New Horizons' work did not end with the Pluto encounter. On Jan. 1, 2019, the probe will fly by an object called 2014 MU69, which lies about 1 billion miles (1.6 billion km) beyond Pluto.

The 2014 MU69 flyby, which is the centerpiece of a mission extension approved by NASA last month, should help researchers better understand the diversity of objects in the Kuiper Belt, the large, frigid realm beyond Neptune's orbit. (At an estimated 13 to 25 miles, or 21 to 40 km, wide, 2014 MU69 is very different from Pluto, which measures 1,473 miles, or 2,370 km, across.)

Our Interstellar Neighbors: 5 Potentially Earth-Like Planets Nearby

http://www.space.com/33952-five-nearest-earth-like-alien-planets.html

A possibly Earth-like planet has been found within the habitable zone of humanity's closest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, and astronomers think the world could potentially support life. 

While there is still a lot to learn about this newfound world, called Proxima Centauri b or just Proxima b, astronomers are sure of a few things: The Earth-like rocky exoplanet is 4.2 light-years away; its minimum mass is 1.3 times that of the Earth, and it orbits Proxima Centauri every 11.2 days.

Astronomers also said that Proxima b lies within the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, which means the planet orbits a safe distance from the star, making it neither too hot or too cold. Because of this, astronomers said that Proxima b may have suitable surface temperature that would allow for the presence of liquid water, meaning the exoplanet could support some sort of life. [Proxima b: Closest Earth-Like Planet Discovery in Pictures]

"We know very little about these [types of] planets," Thomas Barclay, senior research scientist and director of the Kepler and K2 missions, told Space.com. NASA's orbiting Kepler Space Telescope has identified more than 2,000 confirmed planets around other stars based on changes in the stars' brightness. "For some of them, we know an approximate mass or an approximate radius, and we know roughly how far they are from their star — but that's really all we know." 

With the discovery of Proxima b, here are five other potentially Earth-like planets that astronomers have previously found in Earth's interstellar neighborhood:

Wolf 1061c

This exoplanet is located about 13.8 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus, making it the second-closest known potentially habitable planet to Earth, after Proxima b.

Wolf 1061c lies within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star called Wolf 1061, according to a 2015 study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The exoplanet takes about 17.9 days to complete one orbit around its parent star. Its estimated mass is about 4.3 times that of Earth. Wolf 1061c is thought to be a rocky planet, which means it may be able to support life as we know it. 

Gliese 832c

This alien world is slightly farther from Earth, but it exhibits many similar traits that suggest it may be able to support life, too. 

Gliese 832c is located just 16 light-years from Earth and lies within the habitable zone of a red dwarf star called Gliese 832. This exoplanet completes one orbit around its star in 36 days. 

Gliese 832c is what astronomers call a "super-Earth," because it is at least five times as massive as Earth. It was actually the second planet found around the star Gliese 832. However, the other one, Gliese 832b, is a gas giant that is likely unable to support life. 

Gliese 667Cc

This exoplanet is also considered a "super-Earth," because it is at least 3.9 times more massive than Earth. It orbits the red dwarf Gliese 667C, which is part of a three-star system that lies 22 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius.

Gliese 667Cc also lies within the habitable zone of its parent star and takes about 28 days to complete one orbit. Astronomers announced the discovery of this alien world in 2011. It was found using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) 3.6-meter telescope in Chile. 

TRAPPIST-1d

This exoplanet orbits around an ultracool dwarf star known as TRAPPIST-1, which lies approximately 40 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. TRAPPIST-1d also resides within the habitable zone around its star.

Astronomers announced the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 system on May 2, 2016. This alien solar system has three potentially Earth-like planets that orbit the dwarf star. 

Scientists found the TRAPPIST-1 star system and planets using the TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) instrument at the La Silla Observatory in Chile, which is operated by the ESO. 

Gliese 163c

This exoplanet also appears potentially habitable and is located 49 light-years from Earth, in the Dorado constellation. Gliese 163c isapproximately seven times the mass of Earth, earning it the title of a "super-Earth." 

It lies within the habitable zone around a red dwarf star known as Gliese 163 and takes 26 days to complete one orbit. Gliese 163c is one of two alien planets found orbiting the star Gliese 163. Astronomers found this planet using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), which is mounted on the ESO telescope located at the La Silla Observatory. 

Living on these planets

Since Proxima b is so close to Proxima Centauri, the exoplanet likely has one side that constantly faces the star, similar to how the moon always shows the same face to Earth. Astronomers suggest that Proxima Centauri's gravitational pull likely forced Proxima b to become "tidally locked" to the star in this way, so the world has one illuminated side and one dark side. 

If that is the case, any life on the Proxima b would be very restricted due to extreme temperature variations between the dark and light side, Barclay explained. 

"There would likely be enormous winds on these planets," Barclay said. "When you have hot areas [on the sunlit side] and cold areas [on the dark side] on a planet, the hot part of the atmosphere moves the cold part, which would produce very strong and fast winds."

As a result, life on an exoplanet like Proxima b would be very different from what humans experience on Earth. 

"The light also isn't the bright white-yellow light we get from the sun. It would be much more red. So, you would expect biology to evolve differently," Barclay said, adding that solar flares from red dwarfs could also have a large impact on exoplanets orbiting them. 

"We see solar flares [from the sun] occasionally, but they don't really impact life on Earth all that much," Barclay said. On the other hand, "Proxima Centauri is thought to have a flare every 20 minutes." 

However, astronomers are still unsure what damage solar flares could cause.  

"What we have learned when we look at biology on Earth is that life seems to find a way. Life adapts," Barclay said. "We might find life to be extremely different on these planets, just because it has had to adapt to a very different environment."

A New Generation of Astronomers Is on the Hunt for the Next Earth 

https://www.wired.com/2016/10/meet-next-generation-exoplanet-hunters/

About a month ago, astronomers announced they had found a new exoplanet—this one, orbiting in the habitable zone of the nearest star to Earth. Proxima b is exciting because it’s nearby, and someday someone might send a spaceprobe to it. Plus, it has a mass close to Earth’s—making it more likely to be livable.

Proxima b popped out of a different technique, one that, for the most part, hasn’t been sensitive enough to see planets like Earth. And advances in that technique—including a new instrument called EXPRES—could improve detection enough for scientists to find and weigh lots of other Earth-mass planets.

Astronomers have discovered two moons located behind Uranus after re-examining old data collected by NASA’s space probe Voyager 2.

'Planet Nine' Can't Hide Much Longer, Scientists Say

http://www.space.com/34455-planet-nine-discovery-coming-soon.html

Planet Nine's days of lurking unseen in the dark depths of the outer solar system may be numbered.

The hypothetical giant planet, which is thought to be about 10 times more massive than Earth, will be discovered within 16 months or so, astronomer Mike Brown predicted.

"I'm pretty sure, I think, that by the end of next winter — not this winter, next winter — I think that there'll be enough people looking for it that … somebody's actually going to track this down," Brown said during a news conference Wednesday (Oct. 19) at a joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) and the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) in Pasadena, California. Brown said that eight to 10 groups are currently looking for the planet.

...

The researchers suggested that this putative planet is perhaps two to 15 times more massive than Earth and lies hundreds of astronomical units (AU) from the sun. (One AU is the Earth-sun distance, about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)

This interpretation was bolstered in January of this year by Brown and fellow Caltech astronomer Konstantin Batygin, who found evidence of a perturber's influence in the orbits of a handful of additional distant objects. This "Planet Nine," as Batygin and Brown dubbed the putative world, likely contains about 10 Earth masses and orbits on a highly elliptical path whose aphelion (farthest distance from the sun) is about 1,000 AU, the researchers said. (For perspective, Pluto gets just 49.3 AU from the sun at aphelion.)

...

The ongoing Planet Nine research also includes efforts to pin down where the world might be in the sky these days. This is a key part of the discovery effort, since a blind search for an object so far away, and with such a huge and elliptical orbit, has little chance of success in the near term, Brown has said.

...

Astronomers have said Planet Nine is perhaps four times wider than Earth, and such an object would be easily visible with professional-grade equipment if it were relatively close to Earth, Brown explained. In addition, planets on highly elliptical orbits spend most of their time near aphelion, since they're traveling most slowly on this part of their path, he said.

An object four times bigger than Earth that's located at 1,000 AU would have a magnitude of about +25 on astronomers' brightness scale, Brown added.

"This is well within reach of the giant telescopes," he said. "The Subaru telescope, I think, on Mauna Kea, [in Hawaii] — the Japanese national telescope — is the prime instrument for doing the search. But there are a lot of other people who have clever ideas on how to find it, too, that are trying with their own telescopes."

Trump To Announce Nibiru During Victory Speech (Nov 7)

An inside source with close ties to the Trump campaign provided shocking information as to Donald Trump’s plans for election night. If he wins the election, Trump will reveal the existence of Nibiru—said to be a brown dwarf star and seven planets on a near-collision course with Earth—during his victory speech. The information stems from a source with unimpeachable credentials, a friend and associate of the Republican nominee. For this to happen, however, Trump must diminish Hillary Clinton’s four-point lead in the polls, or prove the pollsters wrong and win the election in a landslide.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, belongs to a cabal devoted to concealing the truth about Nibiru until the last possible moment, in hopes that she and her elitist friends can weather the storm in underground bunkers and rise to build the world anew once the dust settles.

“President Trump will not permit this charade to continue,” our source said. “He knows Hillary’s plans, and, sadly, she knows his—that is why Clinton is desperate to stop him. But Trump will prevail, and once and for all demolish the Nibiru cover-up, allowing Americans to take whatever actions they deem necessary to prepare for the worst possible scenario. You know, a lot of people have wondered why Trump has not devoted more than just one-hundred million dollars of his own money toward the campaign. Well, he’s been putting that money to a much more important issue.”

Unsealed records, obtained via the Freedom of Information Act, indicate that Trump has spent over thirty million dollars on Nibiru research. He enlisted the aid of prominent, ostracized NASA scientists, people like astronomers Paul Cox and Dr. Stephen Greenbaum, to study Nibiru’s expected impact on Earth. Trump’s scientific advisers admit that Nibiru will ravage the earth, but have posited that Nibiru will not arrive until the winter of 2019, a significant deviation from previously established forecasts.

“Future President Trump has high confidence in his scientific team,” our source said. “He will use the added time to warn and help prepare Americans to survive the Nibiru cataclysm. He will fulfill his promise to President Putin. Unless they get to Trump first. But he’s well protected. You saw what happened in Reno.”

Saturday afternoon, a protester disrupted a Trump rally in Reno, Nevada. Austyn Crites, a Democrat posing as a disgruntled Republican, attempted to incite a mass riot during Trump’s second really of the day. The United States Secret Service rushed into action, whisking Trump off the stage before Crites neared the podium. Against the advice his protective entourage, Trump triumphantly returned to the stage to finish delivering his message to the American people. We later learned that Crites has a criminal arrest record and is a known agent provocateur employed by the Democratic National Committee. The secret service discovered a pair of silencer-equipped .45 caliber handguns, a miniature flame-thrower, and a pocketknife on his person.

“Hillary Clinton has demonstrated her willingness to stop at nothing to stop Trump,” our source said. “This potential assassination attempt shows her resolve to eliminate Trump before election night. Regardless, Trump will prevail and tell the world about Nibiru, hopefully on election night.”

Following Hillary’s concession announcement, President-elect Trump and special guest astronomer Paul Cox will take center stage and warn the world about the forthcoming Nibiru cataclysm.

“This will be the most Earth shattering announcement ever made,” our source said. “Donald Trump is a caring man. A man of principle and character. He is a family man who loves his wife and children. He wants people be aware of the threat while he and his team try to find a means to stop that threat.”

NASA PREPARES TO TAKE FIRST PICTURES OF PLANET X NIBIRU

Even before Pluto was demoted as a planet, there was often the joke that there was a tenth planet known as Planet X, but in reality, people laughed it off and would obviously not take such a comment seriously. Since Pluto was no longer deemed a planet, a planet known as Planet X has come to existence and is now in fact perceived as the ninth planet to replace what Pluto formally was. 

The planet has often been referred to as Planet Nine and Nibiru. The planet has been a relative mystery, for the most part. However, one scientist believes that a sighting of the planet is expected to be seen within the next two years. NASA GETTING INVOLVED IN MYSTERY PLANET Astronomer, Mike Brown also stated that he expects that someone in the organization of NASA will, in fact, capture this hiding planet and learn much more about its existence and content. Brown has also indicated that 8-10 groups are already on the task of looking for the planet, which hints at a strong possibility that the sighting of Nibiru will be much sooner rather than later. Reports indicate that Planet Nibiru is currently at or near aphelion, which is approximately 1,000 AU and measures in the sky of about 400 square degrees. In a simpler term, the moon covers about.5 of the sky, so this means that Nibiru is believed to be about four times bigger than the Earth, which also creates the likelihood to find this planet to be even stronger, given its unique and sheer mass for a planet. Scientists agree with this sentiment and say with their state-of-the-art telescopes the planet should be spotted in no time; it is just a matter of who spots the planet first. This is also a big deal because a contest of who has better equipment to deal with space-related context is present again much like the United States and Russia decades back. China has apparently obtained an extremely powerful telescope that no one has even fathomed to exist, which leaves NASA reeling and trying to catch up to create something just as powerful if not stronger. NASA finding the planet first would also increase the possibility of receiving more funding towards better technology and projects overall. This race is not as well-documented as the Sputnik satellite. However, there is some angst within NASA to try and get better. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in always trying to be number one.

EARTH MUST BE WARNED.......Most likely Nibiru, not aliens

http://nypost.com/2016/11/17/did-this-astronaut-warn-of-aliens-befo...

Did this astronaut warn of aliens before attempting suicide?

November 17, 2016 | 3:13pm

A shocking video claims France’s first female astronaut screamed “Earth must be warned!” before she attempted suicide.

Claudie Haigneré, 59, reportedly had to “be restrained” after yelling the eerie caution prior to falling into a coma from an overdose of sleeping pills.

A six-minute YouTube conspiracy film by UFOmania has resurfaced this week examining her story. It has been viewed nearly a million times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqIjPQb8U1I

In 1993, esteemed scientist Claudie was a backup crew member for the 1993 Mir Altaïr mission, which included her future husband, Jean-Pierre Haigneré.

She made it to the Mir space station in 1996 as part of the Russian-French Cassiopée mission, and in 2001 became the first European woman to visit the International Space Station.

The asteroid 135268 Haigneré is named after Claudie and her husband.

After retiring from space work, Claudie entered French politics and worked as minister delegate for research and new technologies from 2002 to 2004 and minister delegate for European affairs from 2004 to 2005.

But, despite her efforts, budgets for scientific research were cut.

After leaving politics, she worked in a biology lab at the Pasteur Institute.

That’s where the story gets strange.

In December 2008, it was widely reported that Claudie had to be rushed to a hospital after allegedly taking an overdose of sleeping pills.

It was reported that she was found conscious but had to be restrained while screaming, “Earth must be warned!” before lapsing into a coma.

Claudie blamed the incident on “burnout syndrome” and is now the director of the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie — the largest science museum in Europe.

However, alien enthusiasts believe she was trying to warn the Earth about life in outer space.

The YouTube video, which is narrated by a robot voice, is a conspiracy that blends fact and fiction.

NASA scientist warns Earth is due for ‘extinction-level’ event

December 14, 2016

New York Post

A NASA scientist is warning that Earth is due for an “extinction-level” event like a comet or asteroid strike — and claims there won’t be anything we can do to stop it.

Joseph Nuth, an award-winning scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told attendees during Monday’s annual American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco that policymakers should start preparing for such a possible cataclysmic strike, despite the extremely long odds of it happening.

“But on the other hand, they are the extinction-level events, things like dinosaur killers, they’re 50 to 60 million years apart, essentially,” Nuth said. “You could say, of course, we’re due, but it’s a random course at that point.”

Making matters even worse is Nuth’s claim that humanity isn’t close to being prepared for such a threat, The Guardian reported.

"The biggest problem, basically, is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment,” Nuth said.

Nuth is calling on NASA to build two spacecraft: an “interceptor” rocket and an observer spacecraft. If a comet or asteroid poses a strong enough threat to Earth, the rocket — which would be capable of carrying a nuclear bomb — could “mitigate the possibility of a sneaky asteroid coming in from a place that’s hard to observe, like from the sun,” he said.

But NASA would need to drastically reduce the typical five-year span between mission approval and launch to make any such last-minute deflection attempt a possibility.

“It’s really imperative that we reduce that reaction time,” Nuth said.

Space.com reports that NASA would need to make a formal request to Congress to approve such a mission.

“We’re talking a considerable amount of money,” Nuth said. “The NASA request would probably be for several hundred million dollars to produce one of these spacecraft.”

Nuth stressed that he wasn’t speaking on behalf on NASA, saying he’s not a policymaker at the space agency.

“I’m not even in the administration of NASA,” he said. “So this is more of a scientific recommendation.”

Nuth said Earth had a “close encounter” just two years ago, when a comet passed “within cosmic spitting distance” of Mars. The cosmic snowball of frozen gases was discovered just 22 months before its near-collision with the Red Planet.

“If you look at the schedule for high-reliability spacecraft and launching them, it takes five years to launch a spacecraft,” Nuth said. “We had 22 months of total warning.”

But NASA officials, in a statement to The Post, said not to worry for at least the next century.

“NASA places a high priority on finding and characterizing any hazardous asteroids and comets as much in advance as possible, to have sufficient time to protect our home planet from a potential impact,” the statement reads. “The agency continues to aggressively develop strategies and plans with partners in the US and abroad to enhance our identification and tracking efforts, and develop options for mitigation and planetary defense.”

The statement continued: “To date, approximately 95 percent of potentially hazardous asteroids and comets larger than 1 kilometer in size that could pose danger to Earth have been found. Additionally, there are no detected impact threats for the next 100 years.”

Nuth is a senior scientist for primitive bodies at Goddard Space Flight Center, according to his NASA bio. He has won several awards and commendations throughout his 38-year career, including an achievement award in astrobiology from NASA

‘Overwhelming evidence’ that Planet X will DESTROY Earth in 2017

IF YOU thought 2016 was a bad year, 2017 could herald the apocalypse as the much speculated Planet X is set to arrive, according to conspiracy theorists.

REVEALED: ‘Rogue planet’ could boot Earth ‘OUT OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM’, scientists claim

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/753174/planets-astronomers-nint...

Professor Mike Brown, who is one of the first astronomers to propose the existence of the planet, said at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences, that it is only a matter of time before it is discovered.

Having performed simulations of 156 encounters between our solar system and rogue plants, Mr Vesper said there is a chance the ninth planet could come into orbit with native planets and boot one out the solder system.

He said there is a 40 per cent chance a rogue planet could end up entering, or being "captured", by the solar system.

How the world works

Finding a "new-to-us" continent is about much more than this discovery alone.

"Our work is addressing the question of how continents break apart from each other and how new oceans are formed," says Ashwal.

"If we are able to reconstruct their positions in the past, where they were and at what time in the past, then we can understand better how the earth works."

Black Ops Chemtrails Intended to Hide Nibiru (Feb 4)

A Top Secret mission is under way to hide a giant alien planet that is going to obliterate Earth.

Operation Indigo Skyfold involves the use of military aircraft to create “chemtrails” in the sky which block out the visibility of approaching Planet X.

Chemtrails is a name derived from condensation trails (contrails) – the white lines of condensation left behind by high-flying aircraft.

However, many people believe they are not created by water vapour but are actually a result of the planes spraying toxic chemicals and biological agents into the air.

The apparent sharp rise in the number of these over the world has been discussed on internet forums for years now.

Looks like more Prong 3 mischief planned by NASA as the Zetas explained in last Saturday's New Zetatalk:  this time they are going to reclassify every piece of rock in the solar system as a planet to cloud the issue when PX is announced.

Our solar system could be about to get 100 new planets

http://metro.co.uk/2017/02/20/our-solar-system-could-be-about-to-ge...

Our solar system could be about to get 100 new planets, under a new proposal by a top NASA scientist.

But don’t worry – there’s not a whole bunch of new worlds flying towards our solar system, preparing to dock next to the sun.

Instead, the whole way we classify planets is wrong – and we should actually consider our moon as a planet, says Alan Stern, principle investigator of Nasa’s New Horizons mission to Pluto.

Stern and five colleagues have written a suggestion of a new way to classify planets – which would no longer require planets to orbit the sun.

If accepted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the move would mean that our solar system would acquire 100 new planets – including Saturn’s moon Titan and Jupiter’s moons Europa and Ganymede.

Even more Prong 3 mischief from NASA? The "discoveries" are coming thick and fast!

Major Discovery! 7 Earth-Size Alien Planets Circle Nearby Star

Astronomers have never seen anything like this before: Seven Earth-size alien worlds orbit the same tiny, dim star, and all of them may be capable of supporting life as we know it, a new study reports. 

"Looking for life elsewhere, this system is probably our best bet as of today," study co-author Brice-Olivier Demory, a professor at the Center for Space and Habitability at the University of Bern in Switzerland, said in a statement. 

The exoplanets circle the star TRAPPIST-1, which lies just 39 light-years from Earth — a mere stone's throw in the cosmic scheme of things. So speculation about the alien worlds' life-hosting potential should soon be informed by hard data, study team members said.....

Interestingly the NASA discovery uses the word "Announcement" in their discovery of the 7 Earth-size planets.  There is also a Google Doodle about the issue with links on the topic:

Australian National University enlists "citizen scientists" to help find Planet 9. More clutter from the wealthy elite, trying to drown out the Dark Energy Survey discoveries! Disinformation broadcast to a global audience through the BBC and ABC television networks.

ANU leads citizen search for new planet in Solar System

http://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/anu-leads-citizen-search-for-ne...

ANU is launching a search for a new planet in our Solar System, inviting anyone around the world with access to the Internet to help make the historic discovery.

...

ANU astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker is leading the project, which is being launched by Professor Brian Cox during a BBC Stargazing Live broadcast from the ANU Siding Spring Observatory.

"We have the potential to find a new planet in our Solar System that no human has ever seen in our two-million-year history," said Dr Tucker from the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Dr Tucker said astronomers had long discussed the likelihood of a ninth planet on the outer edges of the Solar System, but nothing had been found yet.

"Planet 9 is predicted to be a super Earth, about 10 times the mass and up to four times the size of our planet. It's going to be cold and far away, and about 800 times the distance between Earth and the sun. It's pretty mysterious," he said.

The ANU project will allow citizen scientists to use a website to search hundreds of thousands of images taken by the ANU SkyMapper telescope at Siding Spring.

SkyMapper will take 36 images of each part of the southern sky, which is relatively unexplored, and identify changes occurring within the Universe.

Finding Planet 9 involves citizen volunteers scanning the SkyMapper images online to look for differences, Dr Tucker said.

"It's actually not that complicated to find Planet 9. It really is spot the difference. Then you just click on the image, mark what is different and we'll take care of the rest," Dr Tucker said.

He said he expected people to also find and identify other mystery objects in space, including asteroids, comets and dwarf planets like Pluto.

...

Dr Tucker said modern computers could not match the passion of millions of people.

"It will be through all our dedication that we can find Planet 9 and other things that move in space," he said.

Co-researcher and Head of SkyMapper Dr Chris Wolf said SkyMapper was the only telescope in the world that maps the whole southern sky.

"Whatever is hiding there that you can't see from the north, we will find it," Dr Wolf said.

From 28 to 30 March at 8pm London time, BBC Stargazing Live hosted by Professor Cox and comedian Dara O Briain is expected to be viewed by around five million people.

The ABC will broadcast an Australian Stargazing Live program from Siding Spring from 4 to 6 April, hosted by Professor Cox and Julia Zemiro.

SkyMapper is a 1.3-metre telescope that is creating a full record of the southern sky for Australian astronomers.

People will be able to participate in the ANU citizen science project to search for Planet 9 at www.zooniverse.org

ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for February 18, 2017

Prong 3 mischief

http://www.zetatalk.com/ning/18fe2017.htm

At first blush this offer seems to be asking amateurs to help them locate Nibiru, as we have in ZetaTalk mentioned the possibility that the actual official announcement route might be by elevating amateur discoveries to review and discussion by Prong 3 astronomers. But this maneuver by NASA has the opposite intent. Owned or bribed by the wealthy elite who still want the cover-up to continue, those at the helm in NASA are intent on discrediting the Prong 3 efforts and confusing the general public.

Nibiru will be discovered, as we have stated, within the Dark Energy Survey images which have imaged the inner Solar System from the Chili observatory since 2013 and include recent infra-red images from the SouthEast to the NorthEast along the Ecliptic. This scan is within the Earth’s orbit, where the Nibiru complex has resided since 2004. The WISE images, on the other hand, all point outward from the Earth into the night sky, never imaging the region, thus, within the Earth’s orbit. This maneuver by NASA is intended to create clutter, to drown out the Dark Energy Survey discoveries.

Ancient carvings show comet hit Earth and triggered mini ice age

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2128512-ancient-carvings-show-...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/04/21/ancient-stone-carving...

Evidence from the carvings, made on a pillar known as the Vulture Stone, suggests that a swarm of comet fragments hit the Earth in around 11000 BC

Using a computer programme to show where the constellations would have appeared above Turkey thousands of years ago, they were able to pinpoint the comet strike to 10,950BC, the exact time the Younger Dryas begins according to ice core data from Greenland

Other evidence for the impact from a Greenland ice core suggests roughly the same time frame.

The Younger Dryas is viewed as a crucial period for humanity, as it roughly coincides with the emergence of agriculture and the first Neolithic civilisations.

Before the strike, vast areas of wild wheat and barley had allowed nomadic hunters in the Middle East to establish permanent base camps. But the difficult climate conditions following the impact forced communities to come together and work out new ways of maintaining the crops, through watering and selective breeding. Thus farming began, allowing the rise of the first towns.

A number of the pillar symbols suggest that long-term changes in the Earth’s rotational axis were recorded by the early astronomers using an early form of writing

Senator Telmário Mota (PTB-RR) drew the attention of parliamentarians during the session on Thursday, 25, announcing in a speech in the Senate Plenary the collision of an X7 planet, known as "Nibirú", with Earth.

"I have received the information from an elect who said NASA [NASA] states that the planet Nibiru is coming towards Earth and the current cycle will be over soon," said the senator.

According to Telmário, the NASA report says that the planet changes the gravitational field of the earth and, with that, two thirds of humanity will perish. "Two-thirds will die of hunger and disease. I passed this to my advisers to do a study to see if this planet Nibiru is really approaching Earth, "he announced.

The video of the senator's speech quickly turned into social networks and was shared by thousands of Internet users, who criticized the senator's position, saying that the senator should bring more relevant issues to the Plenary. Check out the video:

PLANET X-7- In 2016 was published the book Planet X - The 2017 Arrival (Planet X - The arrival in 2017). Its author, David Meade, claims to have studied astronomy and claims that a series of stars, propelled by "a twin twin of our Sun", approaches the Earth dangerously and will collide with it in October 2017.

He states that he has scientific evidence and, to explain the absence of detection of such a star, mentions the "oblique angle" of his approach and his next impact against our South Pole.

GPS failure could lose UK £1bn PER DAY

A government report has found that the UK could lose £1 billion per day if the Global Positioning System (GPS) experienced major disruption.

With society now reliant on this technology for everyday navigation on mobile phones, for tracking, and even gaming, the impact of an event such as this would be dangerous beyond the financial haemorrhage.

Emergency services would be unable to handle the demand, emergency calls would be longer, congestion would be severe, and navigation systems would be not be operational.

GPS would not only impact navigation, it would affect multiple industries that rely on the technology for mapping, tracking, and timing.

The report outlines a day in the UK of using services that operate using GPS, some you might not have thought of include social media and online news, which are synchronised using GNSS time.

Shops, scientists and merchant vessels would also be included, with other examples spreading right across the industrial spectrum to fisherman and farmers.

The report is titled ‘Economic impact to the UK of a disruption to GNSS’, it was commissioned by Innovate UK, a non-departmental public body operating with connection to the Government. London Economics, a specialist policy and economics consultancy worked on the report.

The report summarises the capabilities and uses of the system: “The Global Positioning System (GPS) is one – albeit the original and most utilised – of four Global Navigation   Satellite   Systems   (GNSS) that provide   positioning,   navigation   and   timing   (PNT) information via satellites orbiting in space. This information allows users with a compatible receiver (e.g. smartphone) to determine their position, velocity and precise universal and local time.”

Impact has been felt before in the UK from disruption of this kind, as British industries were affected when a US satellite was decommissioned; it is thought that other satellites were also impacted.

With the potential for such all-round chaos, there is now a conversation rising surrounding government intervention, and possibly the implementation of a commercial GPS backup in the event of disruption.
