"the current accepted model of the start of the universe makes clear predictions about the amount of helium and hydrogen present during the Big Bang, and the ratio of these atoms in metal-poor galaxies provides a direct test of the model."

Woooow. A Breathtaking journey through the endless vastness of the universe. This universe is like a black coat, studded with colorful flashing stars-diamonds, lined with secrets that, float around like a veil-like mist. Fascinating and very creative work of art, where I have the feeling to fly for a moment through this universe. The gorgeous colors are an fantastic eye catcher. Great work of art.

ISS and Mercury
Transits of Mercury are relatively rare. Monday's leisurely 7.5 hour long event was only the 2nd of 14 Mercury transits in the 21st century. If you're willing to travel, transits of the International Space Station can be more frequent though, and much quicker.

This image shows the ISS, moving from upper right to lower left, as it crossed the Sun's disk in 0.6 seconds. Mercury too is included as the small, round, almost stationary silhouette just below center. In apparent size, the International Space Station looms larger from low Earth orbit, about 450 kilometers from Philadelphia.
Mercury was about 84 million kilometers away.

NASA's Kepler Mission Has Verified 1,284 New Planets, the Single Largest Finding of Planets to Date

“This announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler,” said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth.”

Analysis was performed on the Kepler space telescope’s July 2015 planet candidate catalog, which identified 4,302 potential planets. For 1,284 of the candidates, the probability of being a planet is greater than 99 percent – the minimum required to earn the status of “planet.” An additional 1,327 candidates are more likely than not to be actual planets, but they do not meet the 99 percent threshold and will require additional study. The remaining 707 are more likely to be some other astrophysical phenomena. This analysis also validated 984 candidates previously verified by other techniques.

"Before the Kepler space telescope launched, we did not know whether exoplanets were rare or common in the galaxy. Thanks to Kepler and the research community, we now know there could be more planets than stars,” said Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters. "This knowledge informs the future missions that are needed to take us ever-closer to finding out whether we are alone in the universe."

Kepler captures the discrete signals of distant planets – decreases in brightness that occur when planets pass in front of, or transit, their stars – much like the May 9 Mercury transit of our sun. Since the discovery of the first planets outside our solar system more than two decades ago, researchers have resorted to a laborious, one-by-one process of verifying suspected planets.

Mad World

by Russell Blattberg

Why am I here? What is the meaning and purpose of life? What in point of fact is actually the truth? These questions have plagued humanity since the dawn of time.... So how do we resolve these seemingly insolvable preponderances? Why is the world so crazy? What's really going on? Every question can be answered, but a simple answer does not suffice, and only sparks thousands of additional questions. I am just one man, with one perspective, but I will attempt to reconcile these burning issues. Where does one begin? I began at 11:10 p.m. December 8th, 1988 at Boston Brigham and Women's Hospital. Why? Is a better question. I believe that I came in order to help... With what exactly? The situation on this planet. I certainly did not plan it. If this were "my" world I would structure it much much differently. I was conceived out of confusion... Out of a desire for love. The lesson is always love. The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry, lifetime after lifetime. I would like to see the world change... Change is the only constant in life. But will the world change for the better or for the worse? That all depends on you.

Personally I believe this world is doomed. People do not understand what it is to love, and they don't care to know. Life is a paradox. The truth will set you free, but the truth also hurts. People to not want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions and delusions to be destroyed. They cling to their cognitive dissonance like its their teddy bear. They don't want to change, or to grow... As a result, pain and suffering inevitably ensues. No one wants to take personal responsibility. This is the price of freedom, and god knows this not a free world. Like Bill Hicks said, "If you think you are free, try going somewhere without fucking money..." Why do we have to pay to live on a planet we were born on? Who are we paying for the privilege of being alive here? Who made them the boss? Who put them in charge? Think about that... We were never meant to be prisoners on our own home. This was never meant to be a slave planet.

Why do people do the things they do? Are their actions motivated by fear or by love? My parents were not happy, nor were their parents... Very few people are. I love the John Lennon quote where he was asked in 3rd grade what the meaning of life was. He said "to be happy". The teacher told him that he did not understand the assignment- he told her that she did not understand life. Another pertinent quote from John Lennon, "Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." I am writing this from a mental hospital.... John Lennon also said that the two things the system doesn't know how to deal with are non-violence and humor. He was right, that's why they killed him. Aaron Russo, in his final interview Reflections and Warnings when asked his philosophy on life said "I think the importance of life is to like yourself. In order to like yourself you have to respect yourself, and in order to respect yourself you have to take actions that you would respect if someone else were to take them. You can have all the money in the world, but if you look in the mirror and you don't like what you see, what's the point of living? Unless you stand up for what is right in life, you are nothing." I agree with him... He died in order to tell the truth, and I will do the same if necessary. Those who go up against the control system get their lives ruined. John F. Kennedy is a perfect example. He signed executive order 11110 which effectively would allow the government to print its own currency and back it with silver, as opposed to borrowing worthless debt from the Federal Reserve and having Americans paying the interest in the form of income tax to the mafia IRS. About a week before he was murdered he made a speech about secret societies; "The very word 'secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society; and we as a people inherently and historically are opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings." Is it any wonder he ended up dead? The trend is plain for all to see. Look at Martin Luther King. In 1999 MLK's family won a lawsuit against the U.S. government because they were able to prove that the government was behind his murder.

Why do we allow these things to happen and sit idly by? Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it (remember… history = his story, and is written by the victors). The nature of prophecy is that it will come true, unless you are willing to change. Voltaire — 'Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.' There is a saying in the Jewish Community in regards to the Holocaust ‘Never Again’. This is referring not just to the Jews, but to the oppression or suppression of any people or minority group.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

pastor Martin Niemöller

History does not repeat, but it rhymes…

If we do nothing our fate will be as bad or worse than the victims of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust (burnt offering). George H.W. Bush was quoted as saying “If the American people ever learn the truth about we (the Bush family and other neocon globalists) they will chase us down the streets and lynch us.” George Prescott Bush financed Hitler and the Nazis through Union Bank. We have been dealt a losing hand. Presidents are not elected but rather selected. We have gone from Bush to Clinton to Bush to Clinton… What has happened to the supposed ‘land of the free and home of the brave’? It has become the land of the fee and the home of the slave. George Carlin’s words have always had an eerily prophetic tone, “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” Wake up and ACT NOW… before all is lost. The mode of attack is divide and conquer- united we stand and divided we fall. We either hang together or hang separately. Its time for humanity to make its choice- at the moment humanity is just a potential-waiting to be realized. Will we evolve or perish? Grow up or die? We are clearly stuck in a vicious cycle, we must break it now- or never. We are all one human family, what we have in common is each other and the planet.

Peace and Blessings to you

I love you all… your friend Russell Blattberg

THE SECRET COVENANT

"An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.

Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.

"We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.

"We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.

The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information.

The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons.

"They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things.

When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison.

"We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives.

We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil.

"Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves.

We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers.

They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit.

"We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.

"We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt.

"When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than…

I dream one day I'll be able to literally be able to see the planets, stars, generally the whole universe to discover what it's worth. I basically wanted/desire to be Christopher Columbus of space. The woman who showed the human race other human friendly planets and so on, but I know deep down in my heart it won't ever happen. But why not dream a bit?

NASA’s SDO Captures Mercury Transit Time-lapse
Around 13 times per century, Mercury passes between Earth and the sun in a rare astronomical event known as a planetary transit. The 2016 Mercury transit occurred on May 9, between roughly 7:12 a.m. and 2:42 p.m. EDT.

The images in this video are from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Tycho's Supernova Remnant: Chandra Movie Captures Expanding Debris From a Stellar Explosion

When the star that created this supernova remnant exploded in 1572, it was so bright that it was visible during the day. And though he wasn't the first or only person to observe this stellar spectacle, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe wrote a book about his extensive observations of the event, gaining the honor of it being named after him.

In modern times, astronomers have observed the debris field from this explosion - what is now known as Tycho's supernova remnant - using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and many other telescopes. Today, they know that the Tycho remnant was created by the explosion of a white dwarf star, making it part of the so-called Type Ia class of supernovas used to track the expansion of the Universe.

Since much of the material being flung out from the shattered star has been heated by shock waves - similar to sonic booms from supersonic planes - passing through it, the remnant glows strongly in X-ray light. Astronomers have now used Chandra observations from 2000 through 2015 to create the longest movie of the Tycho remnant's X-ray evolution over time, using five different images. This shows the expansion from the explosion is still continuing about 450 years later, as seen from Earth's vantage point roughly 10,000 light years away.

By combining the X-ray data with some 30 years of observations in radio waves with the VLA, astronomers have also produced a movie, using three different images. Astronomers have used these X-ray and radio data to learn new things about this supernova and its remnant.

Tycho's Supernova Remnant: NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory Movie Captures Expanding Debris From a Stellar Explosion
May 12, 2016: For the first time, a movie has been made of the evolution of Tycho's supernova remnant. This sequence includes X-rays observations from Chandra spaced out over a decade and a half. Tycho belongs to a class of supernovas used to measure the expansion of the Universe so the details of these explosions are very important.

By combining the Chandra data with 30 years worth of observations with the VLA, scientists have learned new things about this remnant and its history.

When the star that created this supernova remnant exploded in 1572, it was so bright that it was visible during the day. And though he wasn't the first or only person to observe this stellar spectacle, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe wrote a book about his extensive observations of the event, gaining the honor of it being named after him.

In modern times, astronomers have observed the debris field from this explosion - what is now known as Tycho's supernova remnant - using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and many other telescopes. Today, they know that the Tycho remnant was created by the explosion of a white dwarf star, making it part of the so-called Type Ia class of supernovas used to track the expansion of the Universe.

Since much of the material being flung out from the shattered star has been heated by shock waves—similar to sonic booms from supersonic planes—passing through it, the remnant glows strongly in X-ray light.

By combining the X-ray data with some 30 years of observations in radio waves with the VLA, astronomers have also produced a movie, using three different images. Astronomers have used these X-ray and radio data to learn new things about this supernova and its remnant.

The researchers measured the speed of the blast wave at many different locations around the remnant. The large size of the remnant enables this motion to be measured with relatively high precision. Although the remnant is approximately circular, there are clear differences in the speed of the blast wave in different regions. The speed in the right and lower right directions is about twice as large as that in the left and the upper left directions. This difference was also seen in earlier observations.

This range in speed of the blast wave's outward motion is caused by differences in the density of gas surrounding the supernova remnant. This causes an offset in position of the explosion site from the geometric center, determined by locating the center of the circular remnant. The astronomers found that the size of the offset is about 10% of the remnant's current radius, towards the upper left of the geometric center. The team also found that the maximum speed of the blast wave is about 12 million miles per hour.

Offsets such as this between the explosion center and the geometric center could exist in other supernova remnants. Understanding the location of the explosion center for Type Ia supernovas is important because it narrows the search region for a surviving companion star. Any surviving companion star would help identify the trigger mechanism for the supernova, showing that the white dwarf pulled material from the companion star until it reached a critical mass and exploded. The lack of a companion star would favor the other main trigger mechanism, where two white dwarfs merge causing the critical mass to be exceeded, leaving no star behind.

The significant offset from the center of the explosion to the remnant's geometric center is a relatively recent phenomenon. For the first few hundred years of the remnant, the explosion's shock was so powerful that the density of gas it was running into did not affect its motion. The density discrepancy from the left side to the right has increased as the shock moved outwards, causing the offset in position between the explosion center and the geometric center to grow with time. So, if future X-ray astronomers, say 1,000 years from now, do the same observation, they should find a much larger offset.

A paper describing these results has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available online.

It’s not often that we get to put Isaac Asimov and Joe Rogan together in the same sentence, but stick with me and you’ll see why it makes perfect sense.
