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.

NASA Discovers Hyper-Speed Object That Could Break Free from the Milky Way

Published

According to NASA, a rogue, hyper-speed object, which is over
27,306 times the size of Earth, is hurtling so fast through our galaxy
that it might break free of the Milky Way.

Scientists say they have determined that the mysterious object was
cruising at a breakneck one million miles per hour when they spotted it
more than 400 light years from Earth. One light-year is equal to six
trillion miles.

Could this latest find be connected to the fake alien invasion that has long been in the pipeline?

The Mail Online reorts: While experts have not determined what the newfound celestial body is, they speculated it is a ‘brown dwarf,’ a star which is larger than a planet but lacks the mass to sustain long-term nuclear fusion in its core like Earth’s sun.

If the object confirmed as a brown dwarf, it would be first-ever to
be documented in a chaotic, hyper-speed orbit capable of breaking free
from our home galaxy.

A coalition of citizen-scientists with NASA’s ‘Backyard Worlds: Planet 9’ projectwere the first to spot the celestial body, the US space agency confirmed this week.

‘I can’t describe the level of excitement,’ German citizen-scientist Martin Kabatnik, a long-time member of NASA’s Backyard Worlds program, said in statement.

‘When I first saw how fast it was moving,’ the Nuremberg-based
researcher confessed, ‘I was convinced it must have been reported
already.’

Backyard Worlds citizen-scientists Martin Kabatnik, Thomas P. Bickle
and Dan Caselden were the first to spot this million mph object a few
years ago, earning the hyper-speed object the catalogued name CWISE
J124909.08+362116.0.

According to astronomer Dr Kyle Kremer,
who has collaborated with them on better understanding the object,
several astrophysics theories could explain how the object, CWISE J1249
for short, could have gotten to its incredible speed.

In one theory, CWISE J1249 rocketed out of a two star or binary star
system after its ‘white dwarf’ sister star died off — collapsing in an
explosive runaway nuclear fusion reaction called a supernova.

Another viable theory has it that CWISE J1249 originated inside a
tight cluster of starts called a ‘globular cluster’ where it was flung
free via the pull of a black hole.

‘When a star encounters a black hole binary,’ Dr Kremer said in a
NASA statement on the discovery, ‘the complex dynamics of this
three-body interaction can toss that star right out of the globular
cluster.’

Polish astronaut prepares for 2025 flight to ISS

Sławosz Uznański will be the second Pole in space and the first to fly to the International Space Station (ISS).

Uznański revealed that his mission to the ISS is planned for 2025 and will last about two weeks. He will launch from Cape Canaveral on a rocket provided by SpaceX. This journey not only represents a significant milestone for Uznański but also for Polish space exploration.

Last year, Uznański was officially selected for this mission, after which he commenced his training at the European Space Agency’s facility in Cologne, Germany. Initially planned for 2024, the mission faced delays, but new details have recently emerged on Uznański’s social media profiles.

Będzie się działo! 🚀🧑🏻‍🚀
W ten weekend 👉🏻 przeprowadzam się do Houston 🇺🇸 W poniedziałek zaczynam szkolenie w @Axiom_Space, a następnie w @SpaceX i @NASA 💪🏻🧑🏻‍🚀

🇵🇱 Polska misja na 🛰️ Międzynarodowej Stacji Kosmicznej odbędzie się w 2025 roku i będzie się skupiać na testach polskich… pic.twitter.com/BS47jpoOEI

During his two-week stay on the ISS, he will focus on Polish scientific projects and technology tests, including artificial intelligence applications in space and studies on the effects of microgravity on the human immune system.

The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) received numerous project proposals for Uznański’s mission. Due to limited space, only seven were selected, highlighting the extensive interest and potential impact of this mission.

Uznański will travel to the ISS in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, a vehicle regularly used by NASA for transporting astronauts. The Crew Dragon will be mounted atop a Falcon 9 rocket, with the launch also set to take place at Cape Canaveral. While the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed, preparations are in full swing.

In a move to further his training, Uznański has relocated to Houston, Texas. Starting Monday, he will begin a new training phase at Axiom Space, a partner in the mission, followed by sessions at NASA and SpaceX facilities. This mission not only propels Uznański into space but also significantly advances Poland’s stature in the global aerospace sector.
