NASA-Funded Research Discovers Life Built With Toxic Chemical

NASA-funded astrobiology research has changed the fundamental knowledge about what comprises all known life on Earth.

Researchers conducting tests in the harsh environment of Mono Lake in California have discovered the first known microorganism on Earth able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic. The microorganism substitutes arsenic for phosphorus in its cell components.

“The definition of life has just expanded,” said Ed Weiler, NASA’s associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at the agency’s Headquarters in Washington. “As we pursue our efforts to seek signs of life in the solar system, we have to think more broadly, more diversely and consider life as we do not know it.” Read more …

NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery; Science Journal Has Embargoed Details Until 2 p.m. EST On Dec. 2

WASHINGTON — NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.

The news conference will be held at the NASA Headquarters auditorium at 300 E St. SW, in Washington. It will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency’s website at http://www.nasa.gov.

Nasa spacecraft takes amazing thermal image of Saturn moon that looks just like Pac-Man

Scientists operating the Cassini spacecraft in its orbit around Saturn have discovered that one of the planet’s moons looks remarkably like the hungry 1980s video game icon Pac-Man.

Cassini took this thermal image of the surface of Mimas and produced a map which looks just like the video game character.

The probe measures temperature differences across the object’s surface and scientists believe the variations are probably related to the diversity of textures in surface materials.

Lighter areas of the moon which appear in the image may retain the heat better than others, scientists explain.

Mimas is only around 250 miles across. It has a distinctive scar called the Herschel Crater, which has led to many comparisons with the ‘Death Star’ from the Star Wars movies.

The Cassini team says the creation of the crater itself may have played a key role in the changing conditions across vast swathes of the moon’s surface.

The project is a joint venture between the Nasa, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

Its mission was recently extended until 2017.

Saturn has 62 moons with confirmed orbits. The largest is Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury.

All Men are from Mars… and Women …

Author Heather Couper believes Martian meteorites may have seeded life on Earth billions of years ago.

She said: “Mars is closer to the solar system’s asteroid belt than us and must have been hit by many more impacts. Some collisions blasted bits of Mars into space which circled the sun and fell to Earth as meteorites.

“So it is possible life began on Mars and spread to Earth thanks to cosmic collisions. It means we could all be Martians.” Read more …

The Mystery of the Challenger Disaster and … the UFO (1986 Video)

I find this very interesting as I had been told by my channel, at the time this occured, that they were there to reclaim those on board who were their solar cousins. We are all genetically programmed in one way or another. Many of us know we have choosen to be here in this place and time for a reason. These astronauts (not all astronauts) choose these paths for a reason. To further mankind. Consiously or subconsiouly. Their energy, souls, ghosts, electricity, or what ever you choose to believe in went back to their place of origin. It is a quantum thing.

New UFO Sightings 2009 - NASA Video

This is a video of NASA exploring space and finding unidentified flying objects. At 4:30 you will see unidentified objects that seem to be intelligent Nasa tries to explain.

Also at 4:41, you’ll see a frame that pops up and points out the UFO’s. Try clicking really fast to freeze the frame.

UFO on the Moon in Apollo Days-Debunked? Review

In UFO on the moon in Apollo Days? You decide I posted a photograph that is alleged to be an official NASA photograph showing a UFO observing activities of Apollo 14 in 1971.

I had searched the NASA GRIN (Great Images in NASA) database for both numbers assigned to the photo, as well as performing a web search. I was unable to find any photo online with those numbers, although they are apparently NASA sequence numbers.

Of course, not all NASA photos may be online. So I dug a little deeper.

Shown above is an authentic NASA Apollo 14 image (#AS14-66-9306). Look at the lower right–see the bursts of color? Another UFO photo?

Nope.

It shows Antares on the Frau Mauro Highlands on Feb. 5, 1971. And here’s the explanation NASA provided:

A front view of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module “Antares”, which reflects a circular flare caused by the brilliant sun. The unusual ball of light was said by the astronauts to have a jewel-like appearance. At extreme left, the lower slope of Cone Crater can be seen.

For good measure, I found another Apollo 14 photo with lights nearby. This is #AS14-67-9367. cropped to accent the lights in the right corner. Read more …
