NASA Study Hints at Possible Change in Water ‘Fingerprint’ of Comet

Image
Feb. 28, 2017 A trip past the sun may have selectively altered the production of one form of water in a comet – an effect not seen by astronomers before, a new NASA study suggests. Astronomers from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, observed the Oort cloud comet C/2014 Q2, also called Lovejoy, when it passed near Earth in early 2015. Through NASA’s partnership in the W. M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, the team observed the comet at infrared wavelengths a few days after Lovejoy passed its perihelion – or closest point to the sun. Scientists from NASA’s Goddard Center for Astrobiology observed the comet C/2014 Q2 – also called Lovejoy – and made simultaneous measurements of the output of H2O and HDO, a variant form of water. This image of Lovejoy was taken on Feb. 4, 2015 – the same day the team made their observations and just a few days after the comet passed its perihelion, or closest point to the sun.

Understanding is the 4th Mental Perfection:

Image
      Understanding penetrates, illuminates, and guides right. Concentration is the proximate cause of Understanding. Understanding is the very manifestation of Concentration. Understanding is the proximate cause of Equanimity. Only understanding comprehends the meaning, and essence. Understanding purifies all the other mental perfections: Energy acquires right purpose only, when guided by Understanding. Only fortified by Understanding, is determination unshakeable. Only Understanding can patiently tolerate other being's abuse. Only Understanding induces indifference towards gain and loss.. Only Understanding can secure both own and other's welfare... The Blessed Buddha said: Just as red sandalwood is reckoned as the best of all scented woods, even and exactly so is the ability to understand reckoned the supreme among all the 7 mental qualities, that are the links to self-awakening, by leading to enlightenment.  SN V 48-55  Indriya-samyutta And of...

This is the 2nd encounter in the general area around Daniels, Maryland: Hello Mr. Strickler Just wanted to tell you of an incident that happened to my daughter and I in Patapsco State Park (Daniels Area). It was Aug 26th 2015, time was  6:45 pm , the evening before school started. We Had walked about 35 minutes down the trail along the river. We have walked this many times, but not this late in the day. We were coming upon the third culvert when we saw deer on the hillside. They were midway up the approx 70 foot hill. They were completely still. I heard heavy footfalls, but didn't want to alarm my daughter. (We both have high anxiety)!!! So we walked about 40 more feet and were looking at the river. I turned and walked off trail to go look at the culvert. As I walked ...
