Close-up of the Bubble Nebula

It’s the bubble versus the cloud. NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula, is being pushed out by the stellar wind of massive central star BD+602522. Next door, though, lives a giant molecular cloud, visible to the right. At this place in space, an irresistible force meets an immovable object in an interesting way. The cloud is able to contain the expansion of the bubble gas, but gets blasted by the hot radiation from the bubble’s central star. The radiation heats up dense regions of the molecular cloud causing it to glow. The Bubble Nebula, featured here in scientifically mapped colors to bring up contrast, is about 10 light-years across and part of a much larger complex of stars and shells. The Bubble Nebula can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Queen of Aethiopia (Cassiopeia).

Auroras and the Magnetosphere of Jupiter
(via APOD; Illustration Credit: JAXA; Inset Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Chandra, Hubble )
Jupiter has auroras. Like near the Earth, the magnetic field of our Solar System’s largest planet compresses when impacted by a gust of charged particles from the Sun. This magnetic compression funnels charged particles towards Jupiter’s poles and down into the atmosphere. There, electrons are temporarily excited or knocked away from atmospheric gases, after which, when de-exciting or recombining with atmospheric ions, auroral light is emitted. The featured illustration portrays the magnificent magnetosphere around Jupiter in action. In the inset image released last month, the Earth-orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory shows unexpectedly powerful X-ray light emitted by Jovian auroras, depicted in false-colored purple. That Chandra inset is superposed over an optical image taken at a different time by the Hubble Space Telescope. This aurora on Jupiter was seen in October 2011, several days after the Sun emitted a powerful Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
The Dulce Papers, leaked from the secret underground military facility in new Mexico
One of the people who escaped the Dulce facility was reported to be a CIA agent who, prior to leaving, made some notes, photos, and videotapes, before going into hiding. He has been in hiding ever since, and every six months he allegedly contacts each of the people he left copies of the material with. His instructions were that if he missed four successive contacts, the people could do whatever they want with the material. In December 1987 a Description of these so called “Dulce Papers” was issued, and received by many ufo researchers. The leak is suspected to have come from one of the caretakers of the papers. The Dulce Papers themselves were said to be composed of the following:
● 25 black and white photos ● 6 minute video tape of Dulce Facility with no dialogue ● discussion of ultraviolet light & gamma rays ● set of technical papers pertaining to Facility
Earth is about to pass through the tail of Halley’s Comet,
This will start around April 20th and will continue right up until May 21st. The best time to view them will be in the small hours between May 5 and 7, when the sky will be the darkest during the new Moon.
The specks and flecks you’ll be seeing are tiny pieces of debris from Halley’s Comet hitting Earth’s atmosphere and burning up. They’re called the Eta Aquarids as they appear to emerge from the constellation of Aquarius.
The shower will be more visible in the southern hemisphere. However, those in the northern hemisphere should be able to catch the odd one, especially if you’re near the equator. At their peak time, those in the southern hemisphere can expect to see up to 30 meteors every hour. If weather conditions are favorable, even those north of the equator can still see up to 10 every hour.
The Eta Aquarids happens every year thanks to Halley’s comet. It takes the comet about 75 years to travel around the sun, but Earth passes through the tail of the comet around April/ May every year. Halley’s comet is projected to directly pass by the Earth again in 2061.
Your regular commercial airliner, like a Boeing 747 is fast. A super-spy jet like the SR-71 Blackbird is much faster than that, traveling at over three times the speed of sound. So how does a deep-space probe like New Horizons, which recently flew past Pluto, compare? Thanks to this animation, you can see it’s very, very fast indeed!
Bizarre planets.
Blue bubble in Carina
Sparkling at the centre of this beautiful NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a Wolf–Rayet star known as WR 31a, located about 30 000 light-years away in the constellation of Carina (The Keel).
The distinctive blue bubble appearing to encircle WR 31a, and its uncatalogued stellar sidekick, is a Wolf–Rayet nebula — an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other gases. Created when speedy stellar winds interact with the outer layers of hydrogen ejected by Wolf–Rayet stars, these nebulae are frequently ring-shaped or spherical. The bubble — estimated to have formed around 20 000 years ago — is expanding at a rate of around 220 000 kilometres per hour!
Unfortunately, the lifecycle of a Wolf–Rayet star is only a few hundred thousand years — the blink of an eye in cosmic terms. Despite beginning life with a mass at least 20 times that of the Sun, Wolf–Rayet stars typically lose half their mass in less than 100 000 years. And WR 31a is no exception to this case. It will, therefore, eventually end its life as a spectacular supernova, and the stellar material expelled from its explosion will later nourish a new generation of stars and planets.

Recently declassified ufo/uso pictures.
PHOTOGRAPHS revealing bizarre USOs taken by a US Navy submarine crew have been hailed as the best EVER evidence of extra-terrestrial visits to Earth The incredible images of Unidentified Flying Objects in the Arctic originated from the USS Trepang, SSN 674 in March, 1971
Researchers of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) believe the black and white images taken from the USS Trepang SSN 674 submarine in March 1971 - are evidence of UFO activity in the Atlantic.
The pictures where taken between Iceland and Norway’s Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic. According to a US Naval archive, the USS Trepang was in the area at the time the photos where claimed to be taken

Interview with Linda Moulton Howe from the 2014 Mutual UFO Network Symposium
Published on Aug 19, 2014
Linda Moulton Howe has been researching anomalous phenomena for decades. She is an award winning journalist, and was one of the speakers at the 2014 Mutual UFO Network Symposium. The theme for this year’s Symposium was UFOs and the Media. In this interview, we talk to Linda about her background, her research, extraterrestrial visitation, her thoughts on UFOs and the media, and the future of this field.

Alien Sighting Flancy, France. A group of friends were hanging out when they had a close encounter with an alien being. Luckily they were able to capture the experience on camera. As they were standing around a small fire they noticed something moving in the trees behind them, one of the friends throws down a lit branch close to the area of movement and that’s when you see a small grey alien peeking out from behind a tree. The alien then disappears, never to be seen again.

Alien Sighting: July 2015 Nuevo Laredo, Mexico:
In the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo city, in broad daylight the owner of a ranch, hearing strange noises outside the house, decided to investigate. Using the camera on his telephone, what he captured was allegedly an alien being of some kind with humanoid features, agile, slender, long arms and legs, and small head. The video was posted in Youtube by a local television news, El Mañana. Preliminary analysis of the material showed that the images have no cuts, animations or transition effects, adding to the authenticity of the footage.
UFO Sighting Bristol, England.
The infamous “Triangle” UFO has been spotted once again over the night skies in Bristol England, but this time the lights have a reddish tinge adding to the mystique, The triangle ufo is certainly a very unusual flying object due to its unique, almost impossibly aerodynamic shape and evenly spaced, triangulated light formations. Until governments reveal definitively that this is an actual airplane (with some fantastically advanced flying capabilities) it will remain one of the most enigmatic UFO candidates ever brought to light.
