Meteor Alert: Outburst of Shooting Stars Expected from the Alpha Monocerotids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What we have been taught in school is far from the truth. What we are being told about the past is disseminated by the very entities that suppress the hidden history. The ancients were well aware of this ruse time immemorial. This is why they encoded the sacred geometry and cosmic information into their architecture. In this way, the information would not be lost and therefore preserved for those few who made it through the transitionary times.
Gobekli Tepe is a great example of our last great culture trying to secure a message for future humans to decipher. Burying hundreds of megalithic stone structures which clearly suggest a cosmic calendar system. Nonetheless, the stories we are told about such ancient cultures are how savage and inane they were. Nonsense.

"A cosmic tempo based on Sacred Geometry, encoded in myth & mystical architecture throughout the Earth governs the unfolding of world ages, the rise and fall of civilizations & is ultimately the very basis of apocalyptic prophecy" - Randall Carlson

De Santillana and von Dechend, on the other hand make the case that the slow shifting motion of the Earth's axis, called Precession, provides the basis for defining the duration of the Great Year. The discovery of Precession is attributed by historical orthodoxy to the Greek astronomer and mathematician Hipparchus in the year 127 B.C., but the authors of Hamlet's Mill contend that it was actually known at least a millennium earlier. The authors argue that

"There is good reason to assume that he actually rediscovered this, that it had been known some thousand years previously, and that on it the Archaic Age based its long-range computation of time."
This claim has remained controversial to this day. However, it is our impression that the authors of Hamlet's Mill may actually have been overly conservative in their contention that knowledge of the precessional cycle predated Hipparchus by only a millennium. In any case Ulansey seems to concur that this cycle was the basis of the Great Year according to his researches into the cosmological beliefs at the core of the Mithraic religion, however, he does not assume that knowledge of precession necessarily predated Hipparchus.

The authors of Hamlet's Mill interpret the imagery of cataclysm figuratively, seeing in it a metaphor for the changing dominance of astronomical configurations as a result of the precessional motion. They fail to recognize the possibility of actual catastrophic events provoking the literal destruction of worlds or the association of such events with changing celestial relationships, but given the prevailing paradigms of the era in which they conducted their research this should not be surprising. We have come a long way since the mid Twentieth century in our understanding of Earths cataclysmic history. Nevertheless they cannot entirely escape the literal implications of their research:

Given what is now known about the nature of geological change over the course of multiple time scales it is not exaggeration to speak of actual, far-reaching destructions and the subsequent rebuilding of a new world. Nor is it unscientific to hypothesize those cataclysmic episodes may have left an imprint in the belief systems of archaic humanity, influencing mythology, religion and psychology to an extent under-appreciated until only recently.

Considering the various concepts of a Great Year cycle held by ancient peoples, the version based upon the precession of the equinoxes would seem the most credible, and it is to this model that we will now direct our attention. Stay Tuned for part 2.

📰 La Cámara con sensado de luz NIST podría ayudar a la detección de Vida Extraterrestre y Materia Negra

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made one of the highest-performance cameras ever composed of sensors that count single photons, or particles of light.

With more than 1,000 sensors, or pixels, NIST's camera may be useful in future space-based telescopes searching for chemical signs of life on other planets, and in new instruments designed to search for the elusive "dark matter" believed to constitute most of the "stuff" in the universe.

Described in Optics Express, the camera consists of sensors made from superconducting nanowires, which can detect single photons. They are among the best photon counters in terms of speed, efficiency, and range of color sensitivity. A NIST team used these detectors to demonstrate Einstein's " spooky action at a distance," for example.

The nanowire detectors also have the lowest dark count rates of any type of photon sensor, meaning they don't count false signals caused by noise rather than photons. This feature is especially useful for dark-matter searches and space-based astronomy. But cameras with more pixels and larger physical dimensions than previously available are required for these applications, and they also need to detect light at the far end of the infrared band, with longer wavelengths than currently practical.

NIST's camera is small in physical size, a square measuring 1.6 millimeters on a side, but packed with 1,024 sensors (32 columns by 32 rows) to make high-resolution images. The main challenge was to find a way to collate and obtain results from so many detectors without overheating. The researchers extended a "readout" architecture they previously demonstrated with a smaller camera of 64 sensors that adds up data from the rows and columns, a step toward meeting the requirements of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

"My primary motivation for making the camera is NASA's Origins Space Telescope project, which is looking into using these arrays for analyzing the chemical composition of planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system," NIST electronics engineer Varun Verma said. Each chemical element in the planet's atmosphere would absorb a unique set of colors, he pointed out.

"The idea is to look at the absorption spectra of light passing through the edge of an exoplanet's atmosphere as it transits in front of its parent star," Verma explained. "The absorption signatures tell you about the elements in the atmosphere, particularly those that might give rise to life, such as water, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The signatures for these elements are in the mid- to far-infrared spectrum, and large-area single-photon counting detector arrays don't yet exist for that region of the spectrum, so we received a small amount of funding from NASA to see if we could help solve that problem."

Verma and colleagues achieved high fabrication success, with 99.5% of the sensors working properly. But detector efficiency at the desired wavelength is low. Boosting efficiency is the next challenge. The researchers also hope to make even bigger cameras, perhaps with a million sensors.

Other applications are also possible. For example, the NIST cameras may help find dark matter. Researchers around the world have been unable to find so-called weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and are considering looking for dark matter with lower energy and mass. Superconducting nanowire detectors offer promise for counting emissions of rare, low-energy dark matter and discriminating real signals from background noise.

The new camera was made in a complicated process at NIST's Microfabrication Facility in Boulder, Colorado. The detectors are fabricated on silicon wafers diced into chips. The nanowires, made of an alloy of tungsten and silicon, are about 3.5 millimeters long, 180 nanometers (nm) wide and 3 nm thick. The wiring is made of superconducting niobium.

The camera performance was measured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. JPL has the necessary electronics due to its work on deep space optical communications.

The work was supported by NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

📝 Enorme Tsunami golpeó Omán hace 1,000 años atrás

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
15-meter high waves that pushed boulders the weight of a Leopard tank inland: This is more or less how one can imagine the tsunami that hit the coast of today's Sultanate of Oman about 1,000 years ago, as concluded by a recent study by the universities of Bonn, Jena, Freiburg and RWTH Aachen. The findings also show how urgently the region needs a well-functioning early warning system. But even then, coastal residents would have a maximum of 30 minutes to get to safety in a similar catastrophe. The study will be published in the journal "Marine Geology", but is already available online.

Oman lies in the east of the Arabian Peninsula. The coasts of the Sultanate are repeatedly struck by tsunamis, most recently in 2013. Even with the most severe of these in recent times, the Makran event in 1945, the damage remained comparatively low. Back then, the tidal wave reached a height of three meters.

The scientists have now discovered evidence of a tsunami which is likely to have been much more powerful, with waves of up to 15 meters. For this purpose, the researchers from Bonn, Jena and Aachen concentrated their terrain investigations on a 200-kilometer coastal strip in northeastern Oman. "There we identified 41 large boulders, which were apparently carried inland by the force of the water," explains Dr. Gösta Hoffmann from the Institute for Geosciences at the University of Bonn.
Quartz clock in the rock
Some of the boulders were probably formed when the tsunami shattered parts of the cliffs; for one of them, the largest weighing around 100 metric tons, scientists were even able to determine the exact point at which it broke off. Others show traces of marine organisms such as mussels or oysters that cannot survive on land. "Certain methods can be used to determine their time of death," says the geologist Gösta Hoffmann. "This allowed us to establish when the boulders were washed ashore."

The quartz crystals in the rock also represent a kind of clock: They provide information about the last time they were exposed to the sun. This allowed the scientists to deduce how long the rocks had been in the place where they were found. The scientists from Freiburg are specialists in this method. "Many of these measurements gave us a value of about 1,000 years," emphasizes Hoffmann. "This corresponds well with the dating results of clay fragments we found in tsunami sediments. They originate from vessels used by coastal dwellers."

The Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates collide in the Arabian Sea. They move towards each other at a speed of about four centimeters per year. During this process, one plate slides beneath the other. Sometimes they get stuck in this subduction zone. This can cause tensions that intensify more and more over years and decades. If they suddenly come loose with a violent jolt, the water column above the plates starts to move. This can lead to the extremely destructive waves that are characteristic of tsunamis.

"So far it has been unclear to what extent the Arabian and Eurasian plates get stuck," says Hoffmann. At the Makran event of 1945, for example, the effects were locally confined. The current findings, however, suggest that the tensions can also build up and unload on a very large scale - there is no other feasible explanation for the enormous forces at work at the time. "It is therefore extremely important that a tsunami early warning system is put in place for this region," stresses the geologist.

Nevertheless, even a smaller tsunami would have devastating consequences today: A large part of the vital infrastructure in the Sultanate of Oman has been built near the coast, such as the oil refineries and seawater desalination plants. A well-functioning warning system can, however, at least give residents some time to get to safety. Not very much though: Tsunamis move at the speed of a passenger aircraft; in the best case, the time between the alarm and the wave's impact would therefore be little more than 30 minutes.

📰 Investigadores hablan sobre el escándalo de los datos-salud de Google

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Google and one of the largest health-care networks in the United States are embroiled in a data-privacy controversy that researchers fear could jeopardize public trust in data-sharing practices and, potentially, academic studies.

At issue is a project dubbed Nightingale that gives Google access to the health-care information, including names and other identifiable data, of tens of millions of people without their knowledge. The people were treated at facilities run by the health network Ascension, which is based in St Louis, Missouri.

Google says that Nightingale, first reported in The Wall Street Journal on 11 November, is meant to develop technology that would enable Ascension to deliver improved health care.

Both companies say that they abided by US laws to protect health-care information. But the lack of patient knowledge - and the fact that identifiable data weren't scrubbed from the records - has caused US lawmakers to cry foul. The US Department of Health and Human Services says it is now looking into "this mass collection of individuals' medical records with respect to the implications for patient privacy".

Researchers worry that the revelations will undermine trust in studies more broadly. "This has shockwaves far beyond Google, far beyond the health-care sector," says Johan Ordish, a policy analyst at the PHG Foundation, a charity in Cambridge, UK, that studies health-care technology.

Legal reassurance

In a statement posted online on 11 November, Google said that its work with Ascension adheres to industry-wide regulations regarding patient data, and "comes with strict guidance on data privacy, security, and usage". The same day, Ascension also posted a statement saying that the project complied with the law and the company's "strict requirements for data handling".

Neither company responded to Nature 's request for comment on the potential for Nightingale to erode trust in research.

This isn't the first time Google has been involved in a controversial health-care project. In 2016, the magazine New Scientist revealed that the Google-owned artificial-intelligence company DeepMind had partnered with a group of London hospitals called the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust to access health data without gaining patients' permission. An investigation by UK regulators subsequently determined that the agreement breached data-protection laws.

Meanwhile, an agreement between Facebook and the UK company Cambridge Analytica that came to light in 2018 allegedly granted researchers access to data from millions of Facebook users without their consent. The controversy was a watershed moment for those whose research involves large collections of personal data, says Ordish: "Cambridge Analytica shook the world." In July, Facebook agreed to pay US$100 million to settle the matter with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Nightingale project is much larger than the Royal Free agreement. And it has the potential to resonate even more deeply than the Cambridge Analytica controversy, because people are particularly protective of their health-care information, says bioethicist Effy Vayena of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

Regulations lacking

All three cases highlight the lack of regulations surrounding corporate use of personal data, says social scientist Jay Shaw, who studies artificial intelligence and health at the University of Toronto in Canada. "It's just the Wild West right now," he says.

Against this backdrop, academics are flocking to combine large amounts of health data with artificial-intelligence techniques to evaluate health care and find ways to improve it. Research and business communities are grappling with how to combine this push with appropriate privacy controls.

Academics seeking health data for research rather than commercial purposes must typically get approval from an ethical-review committee before they can start a project. The researchers also often strip identifying information from the records they work with. Commercial uses of personal data don't necessarily undergo the same review, says Edward Meinert, who studies health-care systems at the University of Oxford, UK. "The problem with these deals is that they're not going through that type of rigorous process," he says.

But that distinction might be lost on many people, especially if there are further controversies, cautions Vayena. "At some point, all of the research will get a bad name," she says. "With these incidents, we undermine public trust to this whole enterprise. We have to be really careful."

📰 Esta semana nosotros estamos bajo el Clima Espacial

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This week, space weather experts are coming together in Liège, Belgium, for the main annual event in their calendar, European Space Weather Week.

Life next to a raging star is full of uncertainty and poses a threat to the technologies on which we are becoming increasingly dependent.

For this reason, scientists, engineers, satellite operators, power grid technicians, communication and navigation specialists, people working in aviation and more, are now meeting to discuss solar activity, its influence on Earth, and what we can do about it.

Life next to a raging star

Our Sun dominates the entire Solar System. Unpredictable and temperamental, it has made life on the inner planets impossible due to intense radiation and colossal amounts of energetic material that it blasts in every direction. These constant emissions create the ever-changing conditions in space known as 'space weather'.

So how did life come to thrive on Earth? Our magnetic field protects us from the solar wind - the constant stream of electrons, protons and heavier ions from the Sun - and from Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), the Sun's occasional outbursts of billion-tonne clouds of solar plasma into space.

The most extreme events, arrivals of fast CMEs or high-speed solar-wind streams, disturb our protective magnetic shield, creating geomagnetic storms at Earth.

Modernity is more fragile than it seems

These storms have the potential to cause serious problems for modern technological systems, disrupting or damaging satellites in space and the multitude of services - like navigation and telecoms - that rely on them, blacking out power grids and radio communication and creating a radiation hazard for astronauts in space, even serving potentially harmful doses of radiation to astronauts on future missions to the Moon or Mars.

While these events can't be stopped, advance warning of an oncoming solar storm would give operators of satellites, power grids and telecommunication systems time to take protective measures.

ESA to provide solar warning

ESA is planning a unique mission that will do just this. The Lagrange mission will make much-needed observations of the Sun, gathering the data needed to provide such advance warnings.

Watching the Sun from the fifth Lagrange point - a special position in space in which the gravitational forces of the Sun and Earth balance out - the satellite will monitor potentially hazardous sunspots and high-speed solar wind streams before they come into view from Earth.

It will detect solar events and their propagation toward the Earth with higher accuracy than is possible today, transmitting data to Earth and distributing it into ESA's Space Weather Service Network in near real-time, to generate warnings and forecasts.

As much of modern human society becomes ever more reliant on space-based services, vulnerable to the Sun's outbursts, protective measures against space weather are becoming increasingly important.

Space19+

This month, at ESA's 2019 Ministerial Council, space weather and early warning services will be a main topic presented as part of the Agency's vision for the future in the emerging field of space safety and security.

This week, ESA will highlight the unique phenomenon of space weather, from the science behind it and how we study it, to its effect on satellites in space and ESA's plans for the future. Check the Soundcloud for two podcasts on the subject, including an exploration of the Carrington event of 1859, and how a solar storm would affect us today.

📰 Sonido Magnético de la Tierra registrado por primera vez durante una Tormenta Solar

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Data from ESA's Cluster mission has provided a recording of the eerie 'song' that Earth sings when it is hit by a solar storm.

The song comes from waves that are generated in the Earth's magnetic field by the collision of the storm. The storm itself is the eruption of electrically charged particles from the Sun's atmosphere.

A team led by Lucile Turc, a former ESA research fellow who is now based at the University of Helsinki, Finland, made the discovery after analysing data from the Cluster Science Archive. The archive provides access to all data obtained during Cluster's ongoing mission over almost two decades.

Cluster consists of four spacecraft that orbit Earth in formation, investigating our planet's magnetic environment and its interaction with the solar wind - a constant flow of particles released by the Sun into the Solar System.

As part of their orbits, the Cluster spacecraft repeatedly fly through the foreshock, which is the first region that particles encounter when a solar storm hits our planet. The team found that in the early part of the mission, from 2001 to 2005, the spacecraft flew through six such collisions, recording the waves that were generated.

The new analysis shows that, during the collision, the foreshock is driven to release magnetic waves that are much more complex than first thought.

"Our study reveals that solar storms profoundly modify the foreshock region," says Lucile.

When the frequencies of these magnetic waves are transformed into audible signals, they give rise to an uncanny song that might recall more the sound effects of a science fiction movie than a natural phenomenon.

In quiet times, when no solar storm is striking the Earth, the song is lower in pitch and less complex, with one single frequency dominating the oscillation. When a solar storm hits, the frequency of the wave is roughly doubled, with the precise frequency of the resulting waves being dependent on the strength of the magnetic field in the storm.

"It's like the storm is changing the tuning of the foreshock," explains Lucile.

And it doesn't stop there because not only does the frequency of the wave change but it also becomes much more complicated than the single frequency present in quiet times. Once the storm hits the foreshock, the wave breaks into a complex network of different, higher frequencies.

Computer simulations of the foreshock, performed using a model called Vlasiator, which is being developed at the University of Helsinki, demonstrate the intricate wave pattern that appears during solar storms.

The changes in the foreshock have the power to affect the way the solar storm is propagated down to the Earth's surface. Although it is still an open question exactly how this process works, it is clear that the energy generated by waves in the foreshock cannot escape back into space, as the waves are pushed towards Earth by the incoming solar storm.

Before they reach our atmosphere, however, the waves encounter another barrier, the bow shock, which is the magnetic region of space that slows down solar wind particles before they collide with Earth's magnetic field. The collision of the magnetic waves modifies the behaviour of the bow shock, possibly changing the way it processes the energy of the incoming solar storm.

Behind the bow shock, the magnetic fields of Earth start to resonate at the frequency of the waves and this contributes to transmit the magnetic disturbance all the way to the ground. It is a fast process, taking around ten minutes from the wave being generated at the foreshock to its energy reaching the ground.

Lucile and colleagues are now working to understand exactly how these complex waves are generated.

"We always expected a change in frequency but not the level of complexity in the wave," she adds.

Solar storms are a part of space weather. While the solar wind is always blowing, explosive releases of energy close to the Sun's surface generate turbulence and gusts that eventually give rise to solar storms.

Understanding space weather has become increasingly important to society because of the damaging effects solar storms can have on sensitive electronics and technology on ground and in space. It is now more important than ever that we understand how space weather disturbances such as solar storms propagate through the Solar System and down to Earth, and ESA's upcoming Solar Orbiter mission, scheduled for launch in February 2020, will greatly contribute to these investigations.

This new scientific study based on the long-lived Cluster mission provides another detail in that knowledge but it also has a larger role to play in our understanding of the Universe. Magnetic fields are ubiquitous and so the kind of complex interaction seen in Earth's foreshock may take place in a variety of cosmic environments, including exoplanets orbiting close to their parent star, as they would be immersed in intense magnetic fields.

"This is an excellent example of how Cluster continues to extend our knowledge of the Sun-Earth connection, even years after the original data was obtained," says Philippe Escoubet, ESA Project Scientist for Cluster.

"The results take us deeper into the details of fundamental magnetic interactions that take place across the Universe."

Notes for editors
First observations of the disruption of the Earth's foreshock wave field during magnetic clouds by L. Turc et al is published in Geophysical Research Letters.
