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:

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

An orange GLOW could guide us towards alien life: Researchers finds mists could be key to finding habitable planets

• Research found faraway planet with orange atmospheric haze
• Planet could develop into the next Earth or currently hold life on it 
• Haze is similar to the haze that once covered the cooled young earth
• Researchers studied Earth from 2 billion years ago to learn if theory is true

An atmospheric haze around a planet could show that the world is potentially habitable, or even be a sign of life, researchers have found.

Researchers analysed data from Earth, and found at atmospheric haze once covered our cooling planet. 

This orange shroud could suggest the planet is potentially habitable or that there is life already there. 

An atmospheric haze, which is similar to the one that covered the once covered the cooled young Earth, was seen hovering over a planet in the distance. This orange shroud could suggest the planet is potentially habitable or that there is life already there

University of Washington doctoral student Giada Arney and co-authors chose to analyse Earth in its Archean era, about 2.5 billion years back, because it is 'the most alien planet we have geochemical data for'.

Using the Earth as a proxy for hypothetical exoplanets in computer modelling to simulate what such worlds might be similar and under what circumstance they might be suitable to support life has been a common method among Astronomers.

Newly Discovered Object Revives Speculation of Planet X - The likel...

The big question is whether V774104 sweeps inwards from its present location, like Eris, or outwards, like the objects known as 2012 VP113 and Sedna.

Unexplained history

These bodies are currently slightly closer in than Eris, but investigations of their orbits show they will reach far deeper into space, out to 66 billion km and 140 billion km, respectively.

Models for Solar System formation suggest that such objects were probably not created in these weird, eccentric orbits.

One explanation is that they have been perturbed gravitationally and pulled on to their strange trajectories by a passing planet - perhaps one that was expelled from our Solar System early in its history.

Some scientists even speculate that such objects could have been stolen from a star that formed from the same "nursery" of gas and dust as our Sun 4.6 billion years ago.

There was a fifth giant planet in the solar system, but it was ejected after a close encounter with Jupiter, a computer model made by Canadian astronomers suggests. They studied the orbits of Jovian moons for proof. The icy giant’s current whereabouts are unknown. Apparently it joined the estimated hundreds or thousands (or even billion) of so-called rogue planets traveling across the interstellar space of the Milky Way.

"The devastating potential of an extreme solar storm and what the White House is doing about it"

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/weather/the-devastating-potential-of-...

...The White House, realizing that an extreme solar storm could jeopardize the nation’s vitality and security, released a strategy and multi-agency plan on Thursday to prepare for and coordinate responses to the space weather threat.

“The plan was motivated by a recognition that we need a cohesive national network to build resilience [to space weather] and to determine what we need to know,” said Bill Murtagh, assistant director for space weather at White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). “This is a real and present danger, this is a real threat.”

The plan’s development, co-chaired by NOAA, the Department of Homeland Security and OSTP, was the work of members from seven Cabinet-level departments as well as 13 agencies and service branches.

Murtagh said the need for the plan arose over time as government officials as well as constituents from the electric power, telecommunications and emergency management sectors became increasingly aware of the risks posed by space weather. ...

Enormous 8,000-year-old Earthworks Discovered in Kazakhstan (Oct 30)

New satellite images from NASA have revealed unusual, massive patterns on the Earth’s surface. The geometric shapes are located in Kazakhstan, and are estimated to be up to 8,000 years old.

The massive earthwork patterns called the Steppe Geoglyphs were originally discovered by a Kazakh economist when he was browsing Google Earth in 2007. When browsing through an otherwise empty Central Asian landscape, Dimitriy Dey found intriguing markings in the soil.

But the study of these mysterious constructs is ramping up, and even NASA has taken an interest. Two weeks ago, the space agency released clear satellite photographs of the figures from about 430 miles in the sky.

“I’ve never seen anything like this; I found it remarkable,” Compton J. Tucker, a senior biospheric scientist for NASA who provided the archived images, told The New York Times.

The images show colossal squares, crosses, swastikas and rings, some of which reach over a kilometer in length. The oldest of these geometric shapes are estimated to have been made 8,000 years ago – over three millenniums older than the Egyptian pyramids.

The patterns are formed from uniformly circular mounds of dirt three feet high and thirty feet wide. There are at least 260 of the mounds, and they were described last year at archaeology in Istanbul as a previously unstudied phenomenon.

University of Winnipeg archaeologist Persis B. Clarkson says that constructions like these and the similar Nazca lines in Peru are challenging prevailing views of early people and nomads.

“The idea that foragers could amass the numbers of people necessary to undertake large-scale projects – like creating the Kazakhstan geoglyphs – has caused archaeologists to deeply rethink the nature and timing of sophisticated large-scale human organization as one that predates settled and civilized societies,” Dr. Clarkson said.
