Pre-Announcement Media Coverage

[John Smith]

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:

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

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

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is reportedly set to announce the discovery of a new “Earth-like” planet at the end of August. The unnamed planet is thought to have liquid water on its surface.

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.

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.

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...

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."

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.

NASA Astronomers Discover Earth’s New Asteroid Companion

First Posted: Jun 18, 2016 04:59 AM EDT

NASA astronomers have discovered a tiny asteroid which is constantly orbiting the Earth around the sun.

The newly found asteroid, 2016 HO3, was spotted first on April 27 by the Pan-STARRS 1 asteroid survey telescope on Haleakala, Hawaii. While, the size of the "quasi-satellite" has not been confirmed yet, it's expected to be between 130 feet and 330 feet wide (40 to 100 meters). Astronomers claim that the asteroid has been out there for about 50 years and will probably stay for centuries to come.

The new asteroid orbits the sun and constantly circles around Earth as well. Does this mean that Earth has a new moon? Well, the answer is no. It is too far to be considered natural moon or a true satellite of the Earth. Instead, it can be called as a "quasi-satellite."

The Daily Mail 'speculates' today what would happen if all 1,500 of the world's active volcanoes erupted all at once; and classifies 'active' as any volcano that has erupted in the last 10,000 years - exactly mirroring the Zeta's prediction that these would be the volcanoes that will erupt during the pole shift.

And just for good measure, says that the resulting ash fall out would somehow sink buildings!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What would happen if Earth's 1,500 volcanoes erupted at once? Experts outline terrifying doomsday scenario

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3642494/What-happen-...

The Earth currently has 1,500 'active volcanoes' - meaning they have had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years.

This is aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor, about 500 of which have erupted in historical time.

However, not all eruptions are the same.

Dr Matthew Watson, a volcano specialist from the University of Bristol told MailOnline: 'You can broadly categorise eruptions into two different types.

'The first, effusive, produces lava flows and lots of gas. The second, explosive, produces ash and gas.

'The difference in activity is controlled mostly by the viscosity of the magma.

'The more viscous the magma, the more difficult it is to get gas out of the system and the more likely you are to have an explosion.'

Despite the type of eruptions differing massively, if all the world's volcanoes erupted at the same time, the results would be catastrophic in a number of ways.

Firstly, the people in the firing line of the eruption would be affected, not only by the flow of magma from the volcano, but also from the huge ash clouds expelled.

Pyroclastic flows are fast-moving clouds of rock, ash and gas that are very hot, with temperatures rising up to 1000°C.

These would be impossible to outrun or even drive, as they can travel up to 450 miles per hour.

As well as affecting people near the volcano itself, pyroclastic flows can cause destruction for up to 100 miles from the site.

The number of people living near volcanoes that this would affect is massive.

For example, around three million people live near Mount Vesuvius, while 130 million people live on the island of Java which alone has 45 active volcanoes.

The far-reaching damage

But the destruction close to the volcanoes would just be the beginning.

The eruptions would send plumes of volcanic ash into the sky that could travel for thousands of miles.

Dr Watson said: 'Ash is pretty unpleasant stuff. Its comprised of tiny fragments of glass, crystals and rock.'
