'Bashful' Black Hole in Neighboring Galaxy Revealed

Thanks to the extraordinary sensitivity of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have detected what they believe is the long-sought radio emission coming from a supermassive black hole at the center of one of our closest neighboring galaxies.

Evidence for the black hole’s existence previously came only from studies of stellar motions in the galaxy and from X-ray observations.

The galaxy, called Messier 32 (M32), is a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, our own Milky Way’s giant neighbor. Unlike the Milky Way and Andromeda, which are star-forming spiral galaxies, M32 is an elliptical galaxy, with little star formation. About 2.5 million light-years from Earth, M32 is much smaller than either the Milky Way or Andromeda.

The galaxy M32 is a small satellite of the larger, spiral Andromeda Galaxy (M31), as shown in this Hubble Space Telescope image. The inset is a combined radio/optical/X-ray image of M32. The diffuse purple is the visible starlight of M32.

The central white object in the inset is the center of M32, where there is both radio and X-ray emission. Red shows radio-emitting objects, including a pair of presumed planetary nebulae (left center), and the green is an object strongly emitting X-rays.

Evidence Of First Generation Stars In The Universe

Astronomers have long theorized the existence of a first generation of stars — known as Population III stars — that were born out of the primordial material from the Big Bang . All the heavier chemical elements — such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and iron, which are essential to life — were forged in the bellies of stars.

This means that the first stars must have formed out of the only elements to exist prior to stars: hydrogen, helium and trace amounts of lithium.

This artist’s impression shows CR7 a very distant galaxy discovered using ESO’s Very Large Telescope. It is by far the brightest galaxy yet found in the early Universe and there is strong evidence that examples of the first generation of stars lurk within it.

These massive, brilliant, and previously purely theoretical objects were the creators of the first heavy elements in history — the elements necessary to forge the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them, and life as we know it.

This newly found galaxy is three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known up to now.

Hollow Earth Agartha (Photographs)

The biggest cover-up of all time is the fact that there is a civilization of people living in the center of Earth, whose civilization’s name is known as “Agartha” (variations: ‘Agharta’ & ‘Aghartha’).

 This may be hard for some of you to believe. I know it was for me at first, however, I now have an absolute knowingness of the truth of this.

 To begin with, the Buddhists, in their theology fervently believe in its existence. They believe it to be a race of super men and women who occasionally come to the surface to oversee the development of the human race.

They also believe that this subterranean world has millions of inhabitants and many cities, and their capital is Shamballa. The Master of this world was believed to have given orders to the Dalai Lama of Tibet, who was his terrestrial representative.

His messages were being transmitted through certain secret tunnels connecting this inner world with Tibet.

The 'Eye Of Medusa' - Unknown Extreme Star Formation Discovered

NOEMA (Northern Extended Millimeter Array), the most powerful millimeter radio telescope of the Northern Hemisphere, has unveiled its first astronomical image: a unique and spectacular view of a previously unknown region of extreme star formation in the ‘Medusa merger’ – a luminous collision of two galaxies at more than 100 million light years from Earth.

The multi-wavelength image shows the ‘Eye of Medusa’ (orange) located directly below the black hole at the center of NGC 4149 (white and green).

The observations, conducted by IRAM using the new NOEMA observatory in the French Alps, reveal a giant region (about 500 light years across) of recently formed massive stars at the center of the ‘Eye of Medusa’, the central gas-rich region of the Medusa merger. The stars are still wrapped in their dusty birth clouds and completely hidden from view in visible light.

Other observatories have previously mapped the Medusa merger but none had detected the existence of this region of high-density gas in the ‘Eye’ until now. The new discovery has not only proven its existence, but also has implications for our understanding of the origins of the Universe and will influence future investigative techniques.

A Look into the Deep Interiors of Stars and Planets

The matter that makes up distant planets and even-more-distant stars exists under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. This matter includes members of a family of seven elements called the noble gases, some of which–such as helium and neon–are household names.

Alexander Goncharov, Stewart McWilliams, and the rest of the team’s work on noble gases could help solve the mystery of why Saturn emits more heat from its interior than would be expected. In Jupiter and Saturn, helium would be insulating near the surface and turn metal-like at depths close to both planet’s cores, where it is also predicted to be dissolved in hydrogen.

 But neon behaved differently in the laboratory conditions mimicking the two gas giants. In Saturn, it would remain an insulator even at the core. As such, an ocean-like envelope of undissolved neon could collect deep within the planet and prevent the erosion of Saturn’s core compared to its neighbor, Jupiter.

New work from a team of scientists led by Carnegie’s Alexander Goncharov used laboratory techniques to mimic stellar and planetary conditions, and observe how noble gases behave under these conditions, in order to better understand the atmospheric and internal chemistry of these celestial objects. Their work is published the week of June 15 by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The team used a diamond-anvil cell to bring the noble gases helium, neon, argon, and xenon to more than 100,000 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere (15-52 gigapascals), and used a laser to heat them to temperatures ranging up to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 28,000 degrees Kelvin).

The FBI Acknowledges Visits Of Beings From Other Dimensions - Declassified FBI Document (Video)

The FBI now finally admits that alien beings from other dimensions visit Earth.

 In startling declassified documents, it is revealed that the FBI had prior knowledge of these visits and were aware of their existence.

This admission has finally given the paranormal world the answers they’ve been waiting for. In 2011 after some documents were “declassified” a report written by a special agent of the FBI in 1947 reached the public.

The special agent of the FBI, a lieutenant colonel whose identity, remained anonymous because of “national security” gather numerous data on the UFO phenomena after interviewing and studying the phenomena for years.

Documented Account Of The Future: The Secret Diary Of A Man Who Saw The Future 

One of the questions that has plagued man since the beginning is could traveling through time be possible? Can one leave their body in spirit, without the constraints of the physical body and go to the future?

The idea that humans can leave their bodies during dream states is an ancient one. Countless people — from New Agers to shaman around the world to 19th-century occult philosopher Madame Blavatsky — believe that it is possible to commune with cosmic intelligence through visions and vivid dreams experienced during astral projection, also known as out-of-body experiences.

 One man claims to have done just that, to have traveled through time while being ill for over a year. Amadeus Dienach Paul gives a wondrous account about his time in the future.

 The Chronicles of the Future tell the bizarre, incredible and “controversial” experience of Amadeus Dienach Paul, who lived at the beginning of last century in Central Europe.
