Wrong way planet

There supposed to go the way of the star. WASPS 17, which was discovered in 2009 by David Anderson, was going backwards.

This planet has a year of 3.7 days. It is the biggest planet ever found. It has a diameter, that is a width, of 175,000 miles. That's twice as wide as Jupiter. It's distance from Earth is 1300 light years. A light year is approximately 6 trillion miles.

It's the most puffed planet. It's only as dense as a styrofoam cup.

Entanglement

Entanglement is present throughout space and time. Anything you do to one entangled entity you consequentially do to another. This is not a random effect, although it may seem so.

Entanglement is a teleportation in a way. It teleports information from one place to another, in its causing coincidental phenomenon to occur it produces this correlation. This entanglement is a vas encouragement of teleportation as well as other ideas.

Our understanding of the world only applies to the segments of reality that we are in. If our intention of reality is to draw conclusions over aspects that are not certain, we end up with more questions than answers.

Flutist in Space

Cady Coleman, who is an astronaut, is playing her flute from space. More than 200 miles from Earth she says “I play the flute on the ground and it’s one of the things I love to do,” she says during an NPR interview. She believes that it helps her share how amazing it is with others. She just wanted to have people understand what a cool place space is, and that there were as many possibilities on the space station as there was on Earth. She brought a variety of four flute like instruments up in her allotment to Space Station Meir. Many times she plays with her eyes closed.

Alien Abduction: Fact or Fiction

80,000 people in the US claim that they have been abducted by aliens.
This happened in 1994, they were very precise in the way they did this.

57 varieties of aliens

If you’re worried about potential loss of health, life, property or sanity as a result of alien abduction, you’re not alone. But luckily, there are number of insurance agencies willing to sell you a policy to protect you in case of a close encounter of the third kind. More of a lark than a serious protection of one’s assets, alien abduction insurance policies have been issued to over 20,000 people since the 1990s. “Of course, the burden of proof lies with the claimant,” says Simon Burgess, managing director of British Insurance. “Let’s face it – insurance is so tedious that if I can enlighten my dreary life with a bit of humor every now and again, I will.” It’s not all for laughs, though. The infamous Heaven’s Gate cult purchases insurance policies for all of its members before the group’s mass suicide, leading Goodfellow Rebecca Ingrams Pearson (GRIP), the company that issued the policy, to cease offering the service. If you’re wondering how much alien abduction insurance might cost you, you couldn’t do much better than $9.95, the price of a lifetime policy from the Alien Abduction Insurance Corporation

In a dark room they could touch a object and tell what color it was. They have a greater sight, smell and hearing, however why do they take on humanoid appearance.

Alien abduction incident in Lake City

There was a spaceship sighted. In 60 minutes of terrified panic, a family striken with fear fights off aliens that are trying to abduct them.

Tom Dogo who is a to UFO researcher in Arizona, believes the tape was genuine. Lt. Col. Donald of the Air Force, who is a UFO researcher, also believes him. I do as well.

Xenobiology

Also known as exobiology or astrobiology is the study of extraterrestrial life. Now Panspermia, which is the study that life exists throughout the universe, is a support of this.

Scientists are searching for extraterrestrial life in two very different ways. They are searching for evidence of life within the solar system: searching Mars and meteors which have fallen to Earth, and a proposed mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons with a liquid water layer under its surface.

There is evidence for the existence of micro biotic life on Mars. An experiment on the Viking Mars lander reported gas emissions from heated Martian soil that some argue are consistent with the presence of microbes, though the lack of corroborating evidence from other experiments on the Viking indicates that a non-biological reaction is a more likely hypothesis. Indepedently, in 1996 structures resembling bacteria were discovered in a meteorite known to be formed of rock ejected from Mars. Again, this evidence is vigorously disputed.

Secondly, it is theorised that any technological society will be transmitting information: man-made electromagnetic radiation is already detectable within an eighty light-year radius of Earth, and is constantly spreading. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, takes the data gathered by the world's largest radiotelescopes and analyses it for artificial patterns using

supercomputers and one of the largest distributed computing projects in the world, SETI@home.

Some scientists believe that some UFOs are the spacecraft of intelligent extraterrestrials; however since these scientists are currently very much in the minority, work such as SETI continues in the hopes that a signal will be detected.

Astronomers also search for extrasolar planets that would be conducive to life. Current radiodetection methods have been inadequate for such a search, as the resolution afforded by recent technology is inadequate for detailed study of extrasolar planetary objects. Future telescopes should be able to image planets around nearby stars, which may reveal the presence of life (either directly or through spectrography revealing, for instance, the presence of free oxygen in a planet's atmosphere).

Solar Sail Flotilla Could Divert Possibly Dangerous Asteroid

A flotilla of solar sail spacecraft could change the course of the asteroid Apophis — which is headed a little too close to Earth for comfort — by shading the space rock from solar radiation, according to a French researcher.

Such a plan could help shift Apophis into a slightly safer orbit by the time it is expected to swing by Earth on April 13, 2036. But experts have warned previously that any efforts to divert the space rock could actually make matters worse.

The preliminary concept idea was proposed at a symposium on solar sails – which are spacecraft powered by sunlight pushing against a sail – a few months ago at the New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn.

"Apophis is a nice target for launching this kind of mission for 20 years from now; not too far, not too close," said Jean-Yves Prado, an engineer at the National Center for Space Study (CNES) in France.

How to move a space rock

A group of formation-flying solar sails could alter the asteroid's course by eliminating the so-called Yarkovsky effect, a phenomenon described by Russian engineer I.O. Yarkovsky a century ago.

That effect occurs when the sun warms an asteroid more on the sun-facing side than the far side. The rock then emits more thermal radiation on its near side, which creates a bit of thrust and changes its momentum slightly.

"It's really a very small effect and doesn't apply to very small asteroids because the temperature would be quite negligible, so thrust is negligible," Prado explained. "It also does not apply to very large asteroids because they are too heavy."

But for Apophis, which falls just in the middle of that mass range, the effect could make a difference.

The proposed mission would deploy four 441-pound (200 kg) solar sails from a transfer module that used solar electric propulsion to reach Apophis. Previous spacecraft that have used solar electric propulsion include NASA's Deep Space 1 and Dawn probes.

Once deployed, the solar sails would hover a few kilometers above the space rock and fly in formation according to master control by the transfer module, without a direct link between Earth and the individual sails.

The module could also position itself as a small gravity tractor to provide a small gravitational push on Apophis, Prado suggested.

Practical concerns arise

A previous NASA assessment of possible asteroid deflection methods had placed solar sails relatively high in terms of readily available and not-too-complex technology.

Launch windows would become available for such a mission to launch aboard a Russian Soyuz-Fregat rocket in 2016 and 2019, Prado said. He added that a second redundant mission could also launch to ensure success.

Several other solar sail researchers at the symposium raised questions about the mission design. One questioned the need for a chemical propulsion system on each solar sail that would balance out the solar pressure and keep the sails flying in their proper place.

Prado replied that his group had examined the possibility of using solar electric propulsion to also maintain low thrust and keep the solar sails in place, but had ruled it out based on cost.

Another researcher suggested that simply crashing four spacecraft with the mass of the solar sails into Apophis might be simpler.

The long view

An earlier, unrelated Russian proposal to nudge the space rock aside has been met with skepticism, in part because any solution might worsen Earth's chances, given the uncertainty regarding Apophis' exact trajectory.

NASA scientists previously pegged the possibility of an Apophis collision with Earth at a low 1-in-250,000 chance in 2036, when Apophis is expected to approach within 18,300 miles (29,450 km) of the planet in 2036.

The asteroid's second near pass by Earth comes in 2068, when it has a three-in-a-million chance (or about 1-in-333,000) of impacting on the planet.

Whether or not solar sails prove instrumental in protecting Earth from asteroids, proponents of the technology are excited about the progress they've made.

In July 2010, Japan's Ikaros spacecraft became the first vehicle to have deployed a solar sail and successfully rode the sunlight in deep space. Another effort by Britain called CubeSail, slated to launch next year, will use a solar sail as an atmospheric brake and will possibly be used to take down pieces of space junk
