"Dawn scientists can now conclude that the intense brightness of these spots is due to the reflection of sunlight by highly reflective material on the surface, possibly ice," Dawn principal investigator Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.

The $466 million Dawn mission launched in September 2007. From July 2011 through September 2012, Dawn orbited the protoplanet Vesta, which, like Ceres, lies in the main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter.

Dawn arrived at the 590-mile-wide (950 km) Ceres on March 6, in the process becoming the first spacecraft ever to orbit a dwarf planet, as well as the first to circle two objects beyond the Earth-moon system.

The probe just departed its first science orbit at Ceres; on Saturday (May 9), Dawn fired up its ion engine and began spiraling down to its second science orbit, which will take the spacecraft within 2,700 miles (4,400 km) of Ceres' surface.

Dawn is expected to get there by June 6. (Ion engines are extremely efficient, but very low-thrust.) The probe will then begin a comprehensive mapping campaign that should reveal key insights about Ceres' geological history. That could include whether or not the dwarf planet is still geologically active, a possibility hinted at by a recent Hubble Space Telescope observation of apparent water-vapor plumes emanating from Ceres.

Dawn will eventually descend to two even closer-in orbits, studying Ceres from a distance of just 900 miles (1,450 km) and 230 miles (370 km) over the course of its time at the dwarf planet before wrapping up its mission in June 2016.

So this Lazar guy worked at Area 51 with Alien Spacecraft. The U.S has been reverse engineering these things for a while it seems. What's crazy about the Lazar story is that all his claims seem real at first, except they lack credible evidence. He did mention Unumpentium 115 which at the time had not been synthesized until 2003. Corso Is saying that we reverse engineered the microchip aswell? And this Corso guy held some high ranking military duty? So that makes him reliable, right? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NcBLrVv8wYQ

Shockley & Co were Pioneers of Early Integrated Circuitry. That is however, only a textual observation, like saying Shannon invented Cryptography. The implementation of a Technology is different than the Theoretical, but the book keeper gets the credit.

Because of Black Budgets, most technological advances are within the scope of most developed nations, but kept from public knowledge for national security purposes.

I am familiar with Lazar, but I have no opinion whether his claims are true or false. I'll just say that, we don't understand Gravity or Chromodynamics. You could write Field Theories all day, but you might never replicate, much less amplify a 'gravity wave' which has only been observed in supermassive extragalactic phenomena. So a lot of questions have been raised regarding the validity of his claims. Read Stanton Friedman's Lazar Skeptic Analysis. I think Friedman is brilliant, but an institutional puppet: he symbolizes the academic world -- close minded and narrow.

VATICAN AND LUCIFER

One of the stake holders in the MGIO is a group of European institutes who built an infrared camera and spectroscope, and named it "Lucifer". So what happened? First, somebody reported that an instrument called "Lucifer" was installed on Mt Graham. Then somebody remarked that Mt Graham also hosts the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, and that it is somewhat amusing that Mt Graham has both Vatican and Lucifer. Then the information somehow degraded and the slur was born: Vatican astronomers are supposedly friends with Lucifer...



The instrument is chilled to -213 Celsius, about -351 F, to allow for near-infrared observations. That wavelength is important for understanding star and planet formation, as well as observing very distant and very young galaxies. Lucifer has three interchangeable cameras for imaging and spectroscopy in different resolutions. It has a large field of view and high-res capabilities, which allow a wide range of observations.

I myself have witnessed what seem to be 1) Plasmonic Orbifolds (Plasma Orbs)and Riemann Spheres 2) Sentient Rock-like Sediment with magma-like veins 3) Shapeshifting Triangles and Toroids.

They seem to be telepathic. On the other hand, they won't interact with the untrained. If you've experienced their presence you would know they seem to acknowledge and nod. Others have experienced abduction.

We are not alone folks.

Woah!

It's a cosmic mystery unfolding in agonizing slow motion. As NASA's Dawn spacecraft approaches Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, a series of weird, reflective bright spots have started to shrink as they resolve into clearer focus, but they haven't become any less odd and inexplicable. As Dawn descends toward its closest orbit around Ceres, it has been imaging the spots along the way, gradually giving us a less pixelated view of the large crater containing what now appear to be several bright spots reflecting the sun back at us. What once looked to be a large bright spot near the center of the dwarf planet soon split into two smaller, nearly adjacent spots upon closer inspection. In the latest view from Dawn, shot on May 16, those two large spots seem to be resolving into several smaller bright spots.

What could it be?

I didn't know if this thread belonged to either the SkyGaze Thread or the Awesome Science thread.

I think it delivers:

What's up with that?!

------------------49 Ceti (HIP 7345)------------------------------

49 Ceti is a white main-sequence star in the constellation Cetus. At 194 light years away, it shines at an apparent visual magnitude of 5.62. It is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 28.6 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 22,800 and 25,000 light years from the center of the Galaxy. 49 Ceti has no confirmed planets known to date (July 2013), but does have a circumstellar debris disk.

n many Science Fiction books and games, there are worlds or planet-like objects that are rings that orbit (or float around in space) (some examples being the Halo (from Halo) or the Ringworld (from the book called Ringworld by Larry Niven). After reading through a lot of the Ringworld book, it got me wondering. What would the size of a ring have to be to orbit a black hole, staying structurally stable. The size of the black hole would be stable (not growing) and being the size of an intermediate-mass black hole.

What this means is that it doesn't matter if the object is a black hole or a regular star with the same mass - the gravity you feel from it at r away will be exactly the same. What makes black holes special is that their mass is compacted into an area small enough that there is a zone between the actual surface (assuming there is one) and the place where Fgrav is such that the escape velocity=c. (This is the space where light can't move fast enough to escape, which is why the hole is "black".) The edge is called the event horizon. Anything further away than that can (at least theoretically) escape, and behaves perfectly normally.

In a study, published in the Astrophysical Journal (arXiv.org version), the team proposes that the mysterious gas comes from a very massive disk-shaped region around 49 Cet that is similar to the Sun�s Kuiper Belt.

�We now believe that 49 Cet is 40 million years old, and the mystery is how in the world can there be this much gas around an otherwise ordinary star that is this old. This is the oldest star we know of with so much gas,� said Prof Benjamin Zuckerman of the University of California in Los Angeles.

The total mass of the various objects that make up the Kuiper Belt, including the dwarf planet Pluto, is about one-tenth the mass of the Earth. But back when the Earth was forming, the Kuiper Belt likely had a mass that was approximately 40 times larger than the Earth�s; most of that initial mass has been lost in the last 4.5 billion years. By contrast, the Kuiper Belt analogue that orbits around 49 Cet I now has a mass of about 400 Earth masses.

This guy is great:

"Kepler-138 b is roughly 3,000 times less massive than the first exoplanet whose density was measured 15 years ago," Ford said. "We now are working to discover and characterize rocky planets in the habitable zones of nearby stars."

The Kepler spacecraft continues to search for planets and to explore the cosmos as part of a new mission, known as K2. Both K2 and NASA's upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite missions will hunt for planets transiting brighter stars that will be more easily studied by ground-based observatories such as the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) and the Miniature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array (MINERVA)."
