+ MYSTERIOUS RIPPLES FOUND RACING THROUGH PLANET-FORMING DISC [HEIC1521]
Using images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered never-before-seen structures within a dusty disc surrounding a nearby star. The fast-moving wave-like features in the disc of the star AU Microscopii are unlike anything ever observed, or even predicted, before now.

+ COMETWATCH 1 OCTOBER
Today's CometWatch entry is an image from Rosetta's NAVCAM taken on 1 October 2015, at a distance of 1323 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

+ COMETWATCH 30 SEPTEMBER - FAR, FAR AWAY
Today's CometWatch entry is an image taken by Rosetta's NAVCAM on 30 September 2015, about 1488 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image was taken a few hours after the spacecraft had reached the farthest point - 1500 km from the nucleus - on its far excursion to study the coma and plasma environment of 67P/C-G on a broader scale.

+ ROSETTA'S FIRST PEEK AT THE COMET'S SOUTH POLE
Using the Microwave Instrument for the Rosetta Orbiter (MIRO), scientists have studied the comet's southern polar regions at the end of their long winter season. The data suggest that these dark, cold regions host ice within the first few tens of centimetres below the surface in much larger amounts than elsewhere on the comet.

+ AN UPDATE ON COMET 67P/C-G'S WATER-ICE CYCLE
Earlier we reported on the daily water-ice cycle of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko that was observed in a specific region of the comet's neck by Rosetta's VIRTIS instrument, in September 2014. Yesterday at the European Planetary Science Congress, animations were shown covering the period 1 August 2014 to 10 February 2015.

Awareness of EBE Contact

David Jacobs      I would estimate that %99.99 of all abductees are unaware of what has happened to them. Perhaps many of them know that they have had strange, out of the ordinary experiences like missing time events, Out of Body Experiences, "astral travel," seen ghosts, or even had deceased relatives visit them at the foot of their beds, but these experiences are chalked up to "normality" oftentimes.      They have an available menu of culturally determined explanations of strange occurrences and they pick and chose among them to help explain what has happened to them. Only a tiny fraction of abductees have systematically explored their experiences with me or with Budd Hopkins and are fully aware of the situation that they are involved in. I have handed out a questionnaire geared toward helping me to gauge how many people might have had abductions. I have given it to about 900 students at Temple University over the past few years. Right now my sta...

The Mystery of Rh-Negative Blood Genetic Origin Unknown

Image
  Authenticity and legitimacy are based on factual history and the power of sacred history. What Does the absence of Rhesus monkey factor mean? No solid scientific explanation exists as to how or why Rh- blood came about. It is presumed to be the result of a random mutation. Have you ever felt you were weird or different? It may be due to your DNA ... 85% of humans have the monkey gene (RH+) and 15% do not (RH-) and maybe have an alien gene instead. RH- people are characterized by higher IQs, sensitive vision, lower body temperatures, sensitivity to heat and sunlight, psychic power, ability to stop watches and electrical appliances and having extra vertebrae. This film explores the possibility that we were bred as a slave race for labor, since 97% of our genetic code is disabled, with only 3% left for us to survive. RH negative blood group is from ANNUNAKI heritage Of the human blood types, O is the most common. It is a universal blood type. Blood types are further bro...
