The Climate Changes ... In Solar System



The changes in Jupiter's atmosphere.

COSMIC SPACE. Global warming is a controversial subject and, while reality is shrouded in contradictions. Scholars divide opinions. The so-called global warming deniers, contest, specifically, the anthropogenic warming - caused by man. 

They argue that climate change is not related to human activities but with a process that is affecting the entire solar system. Among scholars, there aren't consensus nor about the warming. Some say that the temperature is increasing, others, affirm that is decreasing, in a process of cooling.

Many denounce that the theory of anthropogenic warming is a theory forged by the more developed nations of the world with the goal of implementing a global tax on carbon emissions, what would keep rising powers limited in their development by this artifice, that would be a brake for economic growth.

But the facts are indifferent to discussions. And the fact is that the astronomical data indicate climate changes throughout the solar system. Three recent examples illustrate the phenomenon.


JUPITER


Jupiter has suffered more impacts over the past four years than astronomers already have observed along the timeline. On the image, the impact of a meteor, on 10 September 2012.

In 2009, astronomers observed the disappearance of a brown track south of Jupiter's equator. It reappeared in 2011. At the same time, the scientist Glenn Orton and his team, of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA - discovered, this year (2012) - that the north equatorial belt became noticeably clearer rapidly, more than the same process occurring over a century.

At Jupiter - there are events that are happening for the first time and others which aren't seen for decades, said Orton. The scientific community has no explanation for what is happening on this planet. Some believe that the surprise is due to the fact that only recently appeared potent observation equipments, able to allow the observation of phenomena previously ignored.


SATURN

One Saturn's year equals 30 Earth years. The annual storm on that planet, which has been registered since 2010 but has started in August 2009 must lasts about seven Earth years. It is monstrous. 

The image, taken by the Cassini spacecraft at the end of 2010, shows the layers of Saturn's atmosphere. The red and orange colors indicate lower clouds, closer to the surface of the globe. The tracks green and yellow are intermediate. 

White and blue are the outer levels of the atmosphere, where the storm is more intense. The rings do not appear because they are out of the atmosphere - out of the image's focus.



The evolution of the storm, and between 2010 and 2011. The "Great Storm of Saturn's Spring" has manifested itself two years ago as a giant vortex, formed by the merger of two large pockets of hot air. This vortex moves across the northern hemisphere of the planet since mid-2011.



The anticyclone vortex - which formed in the stratosphere, that is low pressure zone - has about 62,000 km of diameter, almost a quarter of the circumference of Saturn.

On Saturn, the Cassini probe, NASA - has monitored the consequences of a rare and monstrous storm. The data revealed a record of disturbances in the planet's atmosphere. The probe's infrared spectrometer registered an increase in temperature of 150 degrees Celsius above normal.

In the same period, scientists of Goddard Spaceflight Center (NASA), Greenbelt (USA, Maryland) - detected a large increase in the amount of ethylene gas whose origin is a mystery. The release of ethylene was confirmed by Celeste infra-red spectrometer (CIRS) at the McMath-Pierce installed Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak - Arizona (USA).

Scientists at Goddard, in the edition of November 20 (2011) of the Astrophysical Journal, describe an unprecedented energy emission. According Brigette Hesman, University of Maryland - who also works in Goddard - lead author of the study:

This temperature rise is almost unbelievable, especially in this part of Saturn's atmosphere [atmosphere upper outermost] which is normally very stable. The illustration of a change in temperature on the same scale on Earth it would be like going from the intense cold in Fairbanks's winter (Alaska) to the hottest summer of the Mojave Desert.

Detected by the first time in the northern hemisphere of Saturn on December 5, 2010, the storm became so great that a similar phenomenon on Earth, could involve completly this planet, many times.


URANUS


Fast winds and swirling clouds in the atmosphere of Uranus form a dark vortex large enough to swallow two thirds of the United States. Astronomers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison used the Hubble telescope, NASA - on August 23, 2006 - for obtain the first images of the dark stain of Uranus which measures 1.700 km wide by 3.000 km in length.

About Uranus, a study of an international team of scientists has revealed that currently the planet is swept by wind gusts reaching speeds exceeding 900 miles per hour. The finding surprised because when the Voyager probe passed by Uranus in 1986 showed a quiet landscape, without major changes. 

The result of the research about the "celestial planet" (Uranus is the deity who personifies the sky in Greek mythology, father of Saturn or Chronos, the Time) - presented at the American Astronomical Society, showed new images obtained by a new technology implemented in the Keck Observatory, Hawaii.

These images revealed that the planet has a dense atmosphere, similar to the neighbor - Neptune, made mostly of hydrogen, helium and methane. The temperatures are low enough to freeze the methane, about 180° negative Celsius. The fast winds, which blow with orientation east-west, are an enigma for the researchers because they don't understand where does the energy required to produce them.

Heidi Hammel (American Astronomical Society) - explained that ... These images reveal an incredible complexity in the atmosphere of Uranus. We knew that the planet was active but not in this level.

Another scientist, Larry Scromovsky observed: Uranus is changing. There, the meteorological profile is showing a different behavior than had been detected until recently. The fundamental difference is the instability - what never was observed before.

On Earth changes are also globals. Glenn Orton (quoted above, in the begin of this article) - warns that ...these changes may end his life in this world or, at least, radically alter the ecosystem as it is configured now. One of the things that has sustained life at the Earth is its stable environment.

Men in Black: Apparition in Concordia's Airport



ARGENTINA. It happened on a Sunday, around 10 am on June 24, 2012. In the vicinity of the town of San Antonio de Padua de la Concordia - department of Concordia, Entre Rios province, in the Aeropuerto Comodoro Pierrestegui (airport Concordia), a couple who usually will go to the site in weekends witnessed a strange episode.




The woman, who fears to be ridiculed and therefore is identified only by first name, Claudia - says she and the husband had observed a "man in black" and a small plane. The man drew attention not just for his clothes, completly black in a sunny day, but also because it was extremely tall, measuring over two meters of hight.

He had a thin and elongate face, legs and arms very long, short hair and strangely red - that was visible because he wasn't using hat, pale skin, wore dark glasses with round lenses and their movements were mechanized, walking in slow steps, like a robot.

In the words of the witness ... he did not come in any car: walked in direction of the aircraft, carrying two suitcases, one in each hand. Approaching the plane, did put inside it the suitcases and then the whole scene - simply - disappeared.

The ufologist and owner of the Museo OVNI (UFO Museum) in the city of Victoria (also located in the province of Entre Rios, department of Victoria), Silvia Perez Simondini, who heard the witnesses, investigated the fact: according with the operator of the flights control tower, which also prefers to remain anonymous (everyone has fear of ridicule), the airport radar only recorded a takeoff in that day.

The ascertainment of the activities at the airport on the day of the event noted: there were two aircrafts stopped - one, the plane of the governorate and another of a certain Mr Moron, from the province of Buenos Aires, who arrived in Concordia on Friday, June 22 and took off at 12:30 pm, on Sunday, long after the observation of the witnesses (10 of the morning). Only around 1 pm, some airplanes - of a flying school of Santa Fe - landed.

The operator confirmed the information to the police, who was notified about the incident by Matías Hojman, broadcaster who presents the program 5-La Pata, the Oíd Mortales radio, 88.9 Mhz - Concordia's city. In an interview for another radio station, El Entrerios (elentrerios.com) Simondini commented:

In 1998, we had a case similar to this, with the same kind of man, in downtown Victoria ... This is happening worldwide. These people [men in black] who do not maintain contact with humans and are distinguished by appearance and way to walk. 

We do not know much about them ... but they are related to something of extraterrestrial. Their presence is often associated with the appearance of UFOs. We suspect that they use holograms to create an illusion of reality to hide what actually is happening.

SÃO PAULO. BRAZIL. Sunday, October 28 (2012). Despite the intense heat that led thousands of residents and tourists to the beach Gonzaga, in the city of Santos, around 2:30 pm, occured an unusual phenomenon: a huge cloud, in low altitude, in the form of Tsunami, approached the strip of sand drawing the attention of people who gathered to observe the vaporous colossus.

UFO - Strange and bright, a Huge Cylinder Penetrates in the Popocatepetl Volcano



The object is precipitated as a huge light stick inside the crater. 

THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE, posted on 27/10/2012. 

[http://youtu.be/M5Jhc54v5lw]

MEXICO. On Friday, October 26 (2012), the camera that Televisa maintains permanently monitoring the activity of the volcano Popocatepetl, registered the moment when a strange light came down from heaven and, apparently - entered in the giant's crater.

According to experts (and how is saw in the video), it was a bright object. Its sized was of approximately 1 km long and 200 meters wide with cylindrical shape (in the longitudinal direction, the object is precipitated as a light stick inside the crater.) The direction from which came could not be determined because its speed is much higher than that of a plane.

The astronomer in UNAM, Margarita Rosado, a member of the International Astronomical Union, who observed in details luminous objects seen in the area for 15 days of April (2012) - when the volcano showed increased activity commented: It's an interesting thing. If it was something that emerges, would be possible to think in natural causes but an object that falls on the crater is really unusual.

Rosado ruled out the possibility of object be released by the volcano like glowing material or - even that it would be a meteorite. The scientists consider the characteristics of the object as something strange: its shape well defined in which is possible to distinguish the edges, bright colors and their variants and no-interaction with the gases from the volcano.

Curiosity: Life at Mars?

[http://sofadasala-noticias.blogspot.com.br/2012/10/curiosity-vida-em-marte.html]




Oh, Yeah! Finally we can see sometihing.

MARS. The photo is on the NASA site. It was obtained by the camera mast (Mastcam) during the Martian day 52 or 52th of sun of the mission Curiosity Mars Rover, or be in 28/09/2012. This place of the red planet is called Rocknest. The real dimension of the frame is 1.5 m wide by 5 m high.

At first glance, does not exist, in this landscape, nothing remarkable, much less a way of life. But once again, the eagle eye of an internaut that certainly would want so much to find something extraordinary in this orb apparently dead, discovered or at least can seem that discovered a living being amid the rocks. Whatever, its shape and appearance is similar to a Guinea pig.

Find this creature in the environment is extremely difficult. It requires a huge degree of magnification of the photo and manipulation of the picture in terms of focus and definition to give some clarity to the picture. 

But, discarding the hypothesis of an optical illusion, pareidolia phenomenon, one can concede that, finally, there is the possibility that the "object" is even an animal, with eye, coat and paws.

* At the website of origin of this news thus like in the page of the NASA is almost impossible to find the "animal". BMW, had to squeeze the eyes to offer to its readers the exact location of the ... creature? ... Object? ... Enfin ... of the thing.

Supernatural Phenomenon Expelled Family from Home



The haunted house: residents expelled. The video about the case, in Spanish: on Youtube - posted on 25/10/2012. [http://youtu.be/WnTpTe63aic]

ARGENTINA. In the municipality of La Merced, province of Salta, a humble family claims to be the victim of attacks by evil spirits whose spectrums, that are manifested as shadows, are visibles. They believe that the purpose of harassment is to make the persons abandon the house, located in the neighborhood "40 Viviendas".

Santos Sanchez, the father of the family, says the nightmare began when the children, two teenagers of 12 and 16 years, commented about strange occurrences that happen in the house: shadows that roam through the rooms, pushing and hitting the people, unexplained cold air currents in any time of the day, even when the residence is completely closed.

In the week between the days 14 and 20 of October (2012) - the police were called. In his denounce, Sanchez reported that ... We had to leave the house because it was impossible to stay there with these spirits tormenting all us. What most impressed the police was reporting one incident when the girl, daughter of Sanchez, levitated for several seconds 50 cm above the floor.

But the police, confused by the situation, citing lack of objectivity in the occurrence, suggested the intervention of a priest.



The Catholic priest Pablo Castro, convoked to exterminate the enemy: the blame is the "Game" (Ouija).

The town's vicar, the Catholic priest Pablo Castro, was called for execute "the mission". But for safety, police resolved to accompany the priest during the blessings. The priest refused the aid. Even thus, the ritual was scheduled to be done in daylight and a police patrol was thrown to monitor the procedure.

Arriving to the place, one of the officers knocked on the front door. The mother of the family opened and, in this moment, the officer received a strong blow and, struck by this invisible force, he was threw backward several feet in plain sight of all. Perplexed, the police was to seek support at the comissionership. Meanwhile, the priest would say ...I have everything under control.

Then the vicar entered the house and proceeded to "cleaning", profering prayers and blessings for several hours. After, he said he did not feel the presence of no devil and that the property could has been influenced by a cult of the Santa Muerte, or that the phenomenon may have been caused by some demonic entity, unconsciously attracted by someone in the family that can to have practiced some kind of ritual, as the "game of cup" or used the Ouija board, very common, currently, among the adolescents of the country.

About the "Game of the Cup", the religious commented: Many negative things can result from this practice. It is a dangerous joke that, in fact - atract the enemy (Satan, the adversary). These paranormal phenomena are the work of evil, of the devil. Maybe, this house might be needing a formal ritual of exorcism.

What we can say? Let's call the Winchester brothers...
