Space pollution: Astronomers call on world governments to intervene on 5G satellites

Published

on

(Planet today) A group of professional astronomers has made an international appeal to put an end to the 5G satellite madness in order to protect the astronomical sky.

(Article by Cassie B. republished from NaturalNews.com)

Their formal request follows many of the concerns previously voiced by the International Astronomical Union as well as other institutions. They argue that sky degradation is coming from not just light pollution in the sky around cities; it is increasingly coming from artificial satellite fleets that create bright parallel streaks and trails, obscuring important views of the universe.

Astronomers worry the earth could soon be blanketed by tens of thousands of satellites, handily outnumbering the roughly 9000 stars currently visible to the unaided human eye and adversely impacting their ability to make astronomical observations, which in the past have led to incredible progress in our scientific understanding of how the laws of nature work.

SpaceX has already sent 180 small satellites into orbit and intends to fill the sky with around 42,000 satellites overall. When you add in other telecommunications space projects that are expected to launch 5G satellites, such as those from Facebook, Amazon, OneWeb, Telesat, Roscosmos of Russia, and the Chinese Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, there could soon be more than 50,000 small satellites orbiting our planet for telecommunication purposes.

There is a lot to worry about here, with these small, mass-produced satellites orbiting very close to the Earth, which makes them brighter and more visible in the night sky. For example, the satellites launched by SpaceX are now greater than 99% of all the objects visible by the earth orbit.

University of California Davis physicist and astronomer Tony Tyson said that when there are 50,000 satellites in the sky, “you’ll see the sky crawling,” adding that “every square degree will have something crawling in it.”

Space debris and 5G radiation are major concerns

Not only will this hamper our view of the universe, but it will create a greater amount of space debris. When a satellite breaks down in space, it remains out there as space junk until gravity brings it back down to Earth. While it is up in space in the form of debris, it could potentially collide with other objects and create serious problems.

In addition to threatening scientific advances and creating dangerous space debris, many of these satellites are essentially carpet-bombing our planet with 5G radiation, which means that even those who opt out of using the dangerous technology will essentially have nowhere to go to avoid exposure.

Countless studies have shown that Wi-Fi radiation can have devastating effects on our brain and our overall health. Children are particularly vulnerable to this exposure because their bodies are still developing. 5G makes use of thousands of mini antennas forming beams that don’t weaken across broad distances the way that those of 4G do, which means that humanity is at significant risk.

The electromagnetic radiation changes that cell phone use causes in the brain are believed to be one of the factors behind the fact that we now have the highest suicide rate since the Second World War. It may also explain why children who are just 9 and 10 years old have brains that resemble those of elderly senile people in scans.

Experts like Claire Edwards believe that the race for 5G and the push for a fast rollout comes from a desire to have the technology in place before people fully understand the dangers of it and have the time to organize and block it. After all, once these tens of thousands of satellites are already orbiting the Earth, there won’t be much that people can do to stop it.

“Alien bases” may be hiding off the coast of Alaska, researchers say

Published

An organization of civilian volunteers dedicated to the study of
unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has issued a statement based on
decades of studying eyewitness reports. According to Mutual UFO Network,
“alien bases” may be hiding off the coast of Alaska, reports the-sun.com.

Researchers
say the deep waters in this region may hold something surprising. After
analyzing reports from the ship’s crew from 1945, they hypothesized
that alien objects could be lurking underwater, off the coast of the
state.

Alleged sightings of alien spacecraft nearly 80 years ago
have become a key point in research. Members of the organization believe
that UFOs move over water and may have “bases.”

Researchers
allege crew members on a U.S. Army transporter ship sailing past Island
Adak saw a massive UFO sized 150 to 200 feet emerge from the water.
Although these reports are nowhere to be found, UFO enthusiasts believe
the unidentified flying vehicles likely were used to commute to
different supposed alien bases hiding in the deep waters.

As
the “secret reports” of the sailors aren’t available, investigators
have taken it upon themselves to unravel the mystery surrounding the
unidentified flying objects and they believe the ocean has alien bases
that humans aren’t aware of.

Enthusiasts claim that UFOs may be
using “underwater networks” or wormholes as superhighways to travel
between points in the universe. UFO researcher Johnny Enoch added that
such objects could serve as a vehicle for aliens.

There are also
theories that other places on Earth could serve as bases for alien life.
A mountain in Seoul, South Korea is believed to be hiding a UFO,
according to Dr. Steven Greer.

An episode of the series “The
Alaska Triangle” features satellite imagery that claims to show one of
the “alien bases” in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

Meanwhile,
another researcher featured in the program showed markings from the sea
bed that she claimed could have been roadways for aliens.

While
the mysteries of the ocean remain unsolved, researchers continue their
search, trying to unravel the mystery of what may be hiding in the
depths of the waters off the coast of Alaska.

Enormous City-Size Comet Racing Towards Earth Grows ‘Devil Horns’ After Massive Eruption

Published

By


A volcanic comet the size of a mid-sized US city has
violently exploded for the second time in four months as it continues
racing toward the earth. And following the massive eruption, the cloud
of ice and gas sprouted what looked like a pair of gigantic devil horns.

The city-sized comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks, is a cryovolcanic — or
cold volcano — comet. It has a solid nucleus, with an estimated diameter
of 18.6 miles, and is filled with a mix of ice, dust and gas known as
cryomagma. The nucleus is surrounded by a fuzzy cloud of gas called a
coma, which leaks out of the comet’s interior.

When solar radiation heats the comet’s insides, the pressure builds up
and the comet violently explodes, ejaculating its ice-cold innards into
space through seeping cracks in the nucleus’s shell.

Live Science report:
On Oct. 5, astronomers detected a large outburst from 12P, after the
comet became dozens of times brighter due to the extra light reflecting
from its expanded coma, according to the British Astronomical Association (BAA), which has been closely monitoring the comet 

Over the next few days, the comet’s coma expanded further and developed its “peculiar horns,” Spaceweather.com
reported. Some experts joked that the irregular shape of the coma also
makes the comet look like a science fiction spaceship, such as the
Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.

The unusual shape of the comet’s coma is likely due to an irregularity in the shape of 12P’s nucleus, Richard Miles, a BAA astronomer, told Live Science after the comet’s previous eruption.
The outflowing gas is likely being partially obstructed by a notch
sticking out on the nucleus, Miles said. As the gas continues to expand
away from the comet, the irregularity in the coma’s shape becomes more
defined and noticeable, he added.

12P is currently hurtling toward the inner solar system, where it
will be slingshotted around the sun on its highly elliptical 71-year
orbit around our home star — similar to the green comet Nishimura, which
pulled off a near-identical maneuver on Sept. 17

12P will reach its closest point to Earth on April 21, 2024, when it
may become visible to the naked eye before being catapulted back toward
the outer solar system. It will not return until 2095.

This is the second time 12P has sprouted its horns this year. On July
20, astronomers witnessed the comet blow its top for the first time in
69 years (mainly due to its outbursts being less frequent and harder to
spot during the rest of its orbit). On that occasion, 12P’s coma grew to
around 143,000 miles (230,000 km), which is around 7,000 times wider
than the comet’s nucleus.

It is unclear how large the coma grew during the most recent
eruption, but there are signs the outburst was “twice as intense” as the
previous one, the BAA noted. By now, the coma has likely shrunk back to
near its normal size.

As 12P continues to race toward the sun, there is a high probability
that we will witness several more major eruptions. It is possible that
those eruptions will be even bigger than the most recent one as the
comet soaks up more solar radiation, according to Spaceweather.com.

But 12P is not the only volcanic comet that astronomers are currently
monitoring: 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann (29P) — the most volatile volcanic
comet in the solar system — has also had several noticeable eruptions
in the last year.

In December 2022, 29P experienced its largest eruption in around 12 years, which sprayed around 1 million tons of cryomagma into space. And in April this year, for the first time ever, scientists accurately predicted one of 29P’s eruptions before it actually happened, thanks to a slight increase in the comet’s brightness in the lead-up to the icy explosion.
