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:
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:

While hunting for the elusive Planet X, astronomers have discovered 12 additional moons around Jupiter, bringing the grand total of the planet’s known satellites up to a whopping 79.
The new moons are all relatively small — between 1 and 3 kilometers (.6 to 1.8 miles) across, which is likely why they haven’t been spotted before, scientists said.
They were first seen in the spring of 2017 by researchers who have spent the last few years searching for Planet X, also known as Planet 9 — an object they expect to be Mars-sized or bigger.
They believe it lies in the distant solar system, as much as 100 times farther from the sun than is the Earth. (For reference, Pluto is about 30 times farther from the sun than Earth is).
Any object that far away will receive very little light from the sun that it can reflect back to telescopes on Earth, which is why the search has been so challenging, said Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington who led the work.
To aid them on this quest, the science team is using a four-meter telescope in Chile attached to the largest camera ever built.
It’s called the Dark Energy Camera, and it’s about the size of a smart car, Sheppard said.
Because the camera is so big, it can capture a much wider patch of sky in a single exposure than was previously possible.
“It allows us to be much more efficient than we’ve been in the past,” Sheppard said. “It used to be that one image was basically the area of a full moon in the night sky. Now we can cover twelve times that much.”
Sheppard and his colleagues are primarily focused on surveying the deep outer solar system, but a few years ago they realized that the Jupiter system was well positioned for them to take a closer look at its myriad satellites.
“It was kind of like trying to kill two birds with one stone,” Sheppard said. “We thought we might find a few more moons by covering the whole Jovian system in one exposure, which hadn’t been done before.”
The researchers deliberately picked fields to image that would allow them to see Jupiter’s moons without the bright light from the planet itself getting in the way.
They were able to determine which points of light in their images were Jovian moons because they moved across the sky at the same rate as their host planet.
“Anything that moved much slower would be a more distant object,” Sheppard said.
Their observations revealed the 12 never-before-seen moons. Eleven of them have been verified by representatives of the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center. The status of the 12th moon is still pending, although the researchers expect that it will be verified soon.
Most of the newly discovered moons belong to two previously known families of satellites.
Nine of them circle Jupiter in a wide, retrograde orbit, which means they move in the opposite direction that the planet rotates. It takes them about two Earth years to orbit Jupiter.
Two of them are part of a more inner group of moons that circle the planet in the prograde, or the same direction as it spins. This group completes a single orbit around Jupiter in one Earth year.
However, there is one moon, tentatively called Valetudo, that stands out. It doesn’t belong to any known group of moons, and it follows a strange prograde orbit that occasionally crosses the path of the retrograde moons.
“It’s basically going the wrong direction on the highway,” Sheppard said. “And that means that the chances of a collision are much higher.”
Sheppard said the discovery of Valetudo could help answer some longstanding questions about the formation of the extensive Jovian system.
Scientists believe that the families of small moons we see orbiting Jupiter today may have once been single, larger moons that broke apart after colliding with something — perhaps an asteroid or comet.
But if Valetudo is the remnant of a much larger moon with the same weird orbit, it is possible that the families of small moons were created by the collision of two moons.
Sheppard added that the team is currently running a simulation using supercomputers to determine how long before Valetudo crashes into one of the moons in the retrograde orbit. He expects that it will be sometime between 100 million and 1 billion years.
“The chances of us seeing an impact in any one year is vanishingly small, but it is likely in the life of the solar system,” said Gareth Williams, an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who determined the orbits of the newly discovered moons for the International Astronomical Union.
Williams said he was not surprised by Sheppard’s discovery of additional moons around Jupiter.
“We know there are probably hundreds of moons around Jupiter that are a kilometer or more in diameter at the moment,” he said.
However, he said the finding is still significant.
“Knowing how many satellites around each of the planets is important because any formation scenario for the planet has to account for the satellite system,” he said. “If your model only accounts for 20 satellites, that’s not going to fly when you suddenly have 60.”
He added that now that these moons have been discovered, and their orbits determined, scientists will know where to point their telescopes in order to study them more in depth. That will help them determine how dark they are and what they are made of, helping researchers learn more about the makeup of our solar system.
In the meantime, Sheppard’s hunt for Planet X continues. Who knows what else he and his colleagues might discover along the way?

Curiosity digs up carbon compounds that could be food for life in sediments that formed 3bn years ago
Nasa’s veteran Curiosity rover has found complex organic matter buried and preserved in ancient sediments that formed a vast lake bed on Mars more than 3bn years ago.
The discovery is the most compelling evidence yet that long before the planet became the parched world it is today, Martian lakes were a rich soup of carbon-based compounds that are necessary for life, at least as we know it.
Researchers cannot tell how the organic material formed and so leave open the crucial question: are the compounds remnants of past organisms; the product of chemical reactions with rocks; or were they brought to Mars in comets or other falling debris that slammed into the surface? All look the same in the tests performed.
But whatever the ultimate source of the material, if microbial life did find a foothold on Mars, the presence of organics meant it would not have gone hungry. “We know that on Earth microorganisms eat all sorts of organics. It’s a valuable food source for them,” said Jennifer Eigenbrode, a biogeochemist at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
“While we don’t know the source of the material, the amazing consistency of the results makes me think we have a slam-dunk signal for organics on Mars,” Eigenbrode added. “It is not telling us that life was there, but it is saying that everything organisms really needed to live in that kind of environment, all of that was there.”
The car-sized rover, which has trundled a careful 12 miles (19.3km) since it landed in the planet’s Gale crater nearly six years ago, detected a slew of organic molecules in pieces of Martian mudstone it drilled from the ancient lake bed and heated in its onboard oven. When the samples reached 500 to 820C, the rover’s instruments detected a range of so-called aromatic, aliphatic and thiophenic vapours. The science team believes these are breakdown products of even larger organic molecules, similar to those found in coal, which were trapped in the Martian rocks in the distant past.
“To me it is amazing that we can show we have organic matter preserved for more than 3bn years in these rocks,” said Kirsten Siebach, a planetary geologist who was not involved in the work at Rice University in Houston, Texas. “This is very promising for the preservation of potential ancient life on the planet.”
“These molecules could have been part of life, but they could also have been food for life,” Siebach added. “To know that the water really was full of organic molecules really opens up the different ways that life could have existed on Mars.”
The Nasa rover has found hints of organics on the planet before. In 2015, mission scientists reported that Curiosity had detected whiffs of chlorine-containing organics in the planet’s rocks, but concerns over potential contamination and instrument glitches meant that the results did not convince everyone.
The latest findings, reported in the journal Science, are far more compelling. According to Inge Loes ten Kate, a geologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, “the results convincingly show the long-awaited detection of organic compounds on Mars.”

The discovery of organics in rocks mere centimetres beneath the Martian surface has raised hopes of finding richer deposits of the compounds deeper down. In those may lurk tell-tale signs of life itself, scientists say. “If we can find things like fatty acids, that would be the first potential hints of life,” said Eigenbrode.
In a separate paper published in Science, another Nasa-led team describes Curiosity’s latest measurements of the Martian atmosphere. Before the rover touched down in August 2012, missions to the red planet had already spotted methane in the atmosphere which spiked from time to time as plumes of the gas apparently rose from the planet. The discovery fuelled speculation that the gas might be the expulsions of Martian microbes eking out an existence deep underground. More mundane explanations included chemical reactions between water and Martian rocks.
The new measurements do not settle the question, but the team led by Christopher Webster at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion lab in California reveals the first regular pattern in Mars’s fluctuating methane. Tests on the Martian air show that background levels of methane rise and fall with the changing seasons. As winter gives way to summer in the northern hemisphere, the methane triples from 0.24 to 0.65 parts per billion.
Webster suspects that reservoirs of methane lie deep under the surface of Mars, perhaps in water crystals called clathrates, and leak the gas continuously. When the methane reaches the surface, it sticks to Martian dust but is released in ever-increasing quantities when the ground warms up in the summer.
“These subsurface reservoirs could be from ancient methane that was trapped underground, or from methane that is forming today. Either way it could be produced by chemistry or by microbial activity. We certainly cannot rule out a biological source at this stage,” said Webster.
Taking the measurements was no easy task. A year on Mars lasts two Earth years, so to spot a seasonal pattern in the methane levels, the scientists had to take readings for four Earth years. “That’s why it has taken us so long,” said Webster. “Talk about having patience.”

This bizarre, backward asteroid might be a visitor from another star (May 21, 2018)
An asteroid dubbed 2015 BZ509 — lurks in the orbit of Jupiter, where it circles the sun in the opposite direction of the gas-giant planet and nearly everything else in the solar system. The twin facts that it shares an orbit with a planet and flies against the flow of traffic makes it like no other known object in our celestial neighborhood.
[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2018/05/21/this-bizarre-backward-asteroid-might-be-a-visitor-from-another-star/?utm_term=.99a360b880fa]
BZ509’s orbit is backwards, or retrograde, meaning it moves in the opposite direction of the prograde orbits of almost everything else circling the sun.
Konstantin Batygin, an astrophysicist at Caltech, also not involved with the work, suggests a wild possibility: Planet Nine, a hypothetical 10-Earth-mass undiscovered world far beyond Pluto that Batygin proposed in 2016 with fellow Caltech astronomer Mike Brown, would inevitably “pollute” the solar system with retrograde objects much like BZ509 as it drifts through the outer solar system.

ZetaTalk Insight 8/20/2016:
The key word is “retrograde”, which is characteristic of Nibiru in both its orbit past the Sun, its rotation, and the rotation of the swirls in its tail. Retrograde is a clockwise motion. All else in the Solar System goes counter clockwise – the Sun, the Sun’s rotation, and the orbiting planets.

NASA’s new exoplanet hunter TESS snaps 200,000+ stars in its 1st PHOTO
https://www.rt.com/usa/427222-tess-first-image-nasa/
The mesmerizing two-second test exposure by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) focused on the southern constellation Centaurus, after the spacecraft traveled around 5,000 miles past the moon. The image, which captures more than 200,000 stars, clearly shows Coalsack Nebula in the top-right corner, while Beta Centauri is visible at the lower left edge.
Space hunter: Scientists pin alien exoplanet hopes to NASA’s latest...
TESS, which was launched on its hunt for faraway planets last month, is armed with four cameras capable of covering 400 times as much sky as shown in its maiden snapshot.
(Adding to Starr's post below) Dwarf planet 2015 BP519 connects the Planet 9 hunt with searching the Dark Energy Survey images, where Nibiru images are to be found:
Spotted toward the end of 2014, this rocky object is estimated to be almost as big as a dwarf planet and was picked up by the Dark Energy Survey’s telescope, an international project that studies dark energy in order to measure the expansion of the universe.
Described in a paper hosted by the arXiv server, 2015 BP519 is seen as an important piece of evidence in support of Planet Nine’s existence, because its puzzling 54-degree-tilted orbit can’t be explained unless the hypothetical ice giant is factored into the equation.

Two years ago, scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) found evidence to suggest that a planet larger than Earth could be hiding beyond the orbit of Pluto, in the furthest reaches of the Solar System.
The researchers didn’t directly observe the hypothetical ninth planet, but they did predict its existence based on the strange orbits of a handful of distant, icy worlds in the Kuiper belt—a disc of primarily small and rocky bodies that begins just past the orbit of Neptune—that were extremely unlikely to have occurred by chance.
Since this discovery, scientists around the world have been trying to uncover more evidence of Planet Nine. Now, an international team of researchers has reported the discovery of another distant world, possibly a dwarf planet, which has a bizarre orbit that it is likely being influenced by the ninth planet, they say.
“It’s not proof that Planet Nine exists,” David Gerdes, from the University of Michigan and a co-author of the new paper, told Quanta Magazine. “But I would say the presence of an object like this in our solar system bolsters the case for Planet Nine.”
Wow! Various news outlets announce the Cover-Up may indeed exist:
A MYSTERIOUS planet "on a collision course with Earth” is being covered up, it has been sensationally claimed.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/659456/Nibiru-Planet-X...
Doomsayers have long thought that a huge mystical alien world called Nibiru – or Planet X – is hurtling through space and will appear in our skies at any moment.
The planet will wipe out most of mankind, believers warn.
And now conspiracy theorists bizarrely claim mainstream newspapers have agreed with various governments not to reveal to the world they know a mythical planetary system is making its way towards Earth.
They believe every newspaper editor across the globe has agreed not to break the story due to fears of the panic it would cause.
Fears of a looming apocalypse reached new heights this year as Christian prophets and conspiracy theorists proclaimed the end is nigh.
Mythical planet Nibiru is at the centre of these fears.
It was supposed to hit us last month, but the date was revised based on apocalyptic passages in the Bible that claim it will be visible before Christmas.
Many people claim to have seen the so-called “intruder planet”, with amateur photos and videos appearing online.
One of the leading pushers of the "Nibiru media blackout" theory is UK-based conspiracy theorist Matt Rogers, who runs the YouTube channel Sky Watcher Matt Rogers.
He releases daily videos, with claims he has evidence of Nibiru in the sky, in which he lambasts the media for keeping quiet.
Mr Rogers said: "We can all see from the skies, that the skies are changing, that there is a problem, but still the media says nothing, because the governments and the shadow government don't want them to.
"In this video, I'm going to show how the powers that be control the media, because they do it every day.
"They tell us everything is fine, but you can see the chemtrails up there.
"They have been getting away with the propaganda for many, many years.
"We listen to those TV stations, we read the newspapers, we listen to the radio, and we look at the internet, but they are all controlled by the powers that be - the shadow government.
"They play us all the time as puppeteers - we need and demand the truth we want true news."
Despite these claims, mainstream media outlets have reported on theories since August when it was believed Nibiru was about to pass Earth.
Space boffins at NASA continued to deny the existence of the alien planet until recently.
Speaking last month, the space agency said the mysterious “super-Earth” – which is 10 times the weight of our planet – may be so powerful it is pulling the other planets out of orbit and even tilting the entire Solar System to one side.
A leading figure in the so-called Nibiru Cataclysm movement believes that Planet X’s gravitational pull will whip up 740mph tsunamis and earthquakes registering 9.8 on the richter scale here on Earth.
Researcher David Meade previously said that only 50% of the world’s population will be left after the disaster.
Daily Star Online previously released the conspiracy that claimed Pope Francis was surpassing information on the deadly planet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
US SPACE agency NASA is involved in a major cover up over the existence of a mythical planet that could wipe out mankind, it has sensationally been claimed.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/691097/nasa-nibiru-2018...
Doomsayers have long thought that a huge mystical alien world called Nibiru – or Planet X – is hurtling through space and will appear in our skies this year.
The planet will wipe out most of mankind, believers warn.
NASA has thoroughly debunked the Nibiru myth – but some claim this is a cover-up to stop people panicking and save space in protective bunkers.
A former scientist at the US Geological Survey has sensationally claimed he has broken a confidentiality agreement to warn humanity about the danger of the approaching planet.
Dr Ethan Trowbridge worked for more than 10 years at the US government agency, learning about the imminent catastrophe posed by the planet Nibiru, which he claims consists of a brown dwarf star and seven planets.
According to Dr Trowbridge, the USGS and NASA were aware of the approach of this planet at least thirty years ago and together with other state bodies, entered into a criminal conspiracy to hide the existence of the planet.
“The USGS learned about Nibiru after this information came from NASA,” he told Daily Star Online.
“We were instructed to check whether the abnormal climate change due to the influence of this heavenly body and studies proved this relationship”, he said.
He added that only a handful of employees from the USGS know about the mythical planet.
He said: “This information is highly classified and all documents and information concerning its fragmented and divided by department so that people working with fragments of this information can not understand its purpose.
“I think maybe forty or fifty employees have a real idea of what is happening.”
Just last week, another top scientist urged NASA to prove Nibiru is not real.
Fears of a looming apocalypse reached new heights last year as Christian prophets and conspiracy theorists proclaimed the end is nigh.
Mythical planet Nibiru was at the centre of these fears.
It was supposed to appear in September, but its apparent arrival date has been revised to later this year.
Many people claim to have seen the so-called “intruder planet”, with amateur photos and videos appearing online.
There has been no official confirmation of its arrival and Nasa’s only statement read: “‘Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax.
“There is no factual basis for these claims."
“If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.”
Dr Trowbridge cites a sharp rise in sea level, sudden changes in temperature and melting of polar ice, is iproof of Nibiru’s influence on our planet.
He believes that Nibiru will irrevocably change our planet.
He added: “Nibiru will devastate the Earth”.
----------------------------------------------
Voyager 1 has been floating outbound to the northern edge of the Solar System since 1977, and in combination with Voyager 2 (which has been outbound to the southern edge of the Solar System), they have been able to triangulate the location of Nibiru as it prepared for another passage.
But since 2014, Voyager 1’s main thrusters have been dying, and fearing they would lose their optimum view of Nibiru during its passage, NASA in desperation tried to access the backup thrusters, finding them operational.
Why is this in the news? Why is the public being informed? The establishment, in particular NASA, is looking for an explanation of why they delayed informing the public about Nibiru lo these many years. Nibiru is heavily shrouded by red dust. Where the Moon Swirls form into long tubes and can focus light down the tube like a flashlight, Nibiru itself is so shrouded it looks like a dim fuzz ball. The Second Sun happens only on occasion, and Moon Swirl orbs, though brilliant, likewise fade quickly. Thus NASA hopes to claim that they only now have been able to discern Nibiru, due to Voyager 1 regaining functionality.
