Earth Asteroid Catalog 2011
Analysis of data collected by a NASA infrared space telescope shows there are fewer near-Earth asteroids than previously believed, scientists said Thursday.
Mapping the History of Space & Time
The longer a telescope spends looking at a target, the more sensitive the observations become, and the deeper we can look into space. But to get the full picture of what’s happening in the Universe, astronomers also need observations at a range of different wavelengths, requiring different telescopes. These are the key ideas behind the [...]
Geo-magnetic Storm Visualized
20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific [...]
Walter Russell – The Leonardo Da Vinci of the 20th Century
Walter Russell was regarded as the Leonardo Da Vinci of our modern era by some. We should ask ourselves why most of us have never heard of him. A painter, an artist a mathematician, sculptor, architect, musician, professional ice skater, he discovered deuterium, tritium, plutonium and neptunium as well as developed the accurate version of [...]
NASA, From Stonehenge to STEREO
Humans have always wanted to learn about the Sun, but our understanding of our favorite star has changed through the centuries. In preparation for Sun360, when the STEREO spacecrafts will provide the first uninterrupted view of the Sun, this video is a condensed history of how we have studied the Sun over time.
Free Fall from Space
Still the highest jump ever made. Joseph Kittinger jumped from space in the 1960 holds the record for longest free fall. Interesting: Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size. Height: 102,800 feet (31,300 m) Max Speed: 988 km/h
Clyde Tombaugh
Clyde William Tombaugh was an American astronomer. While best known for discovering dwarf planet Pluto in 1930, he was also probably the most eminent astronomer to have reported seeing UFOs and support extraterrestrial hypothesis. He has reported numerous sightings. In 1949, he described seeing six to eight rectangular lights in the sky near Las Cruces, [...]
Hubble’s New Camera – Wide Field Camera 3
Hubblecast Episode 40: Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) – Hubble’s New Miracle Camera In early 2009, a team of astronauts visited Hubble to repair the wear and tear of twenty years of operating in a hostile environment – and to install two new instruments, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, and Wide Field Camera 3 – better [...]
Is Climate Change Evident in Our Entire Solar System?
Man-made CO2? Hmmm – I don’t think that is our main problem… what do you think? This short video looks at some of the changes which seem to have been taking place in the solar system in the last 30 years or so.
The Orion Conspiracy
More than fifty years of misinformation and manipulation in the shadow of the media have divided and impoverished public opinion, so as to control it all the better. This film is neither a work of fiction, nor a documentary. Forget the words “esoteric” or “fantastic”, here we’re speaking about REALITY… It is done well but [...]
