How to see the “Christmas Star”

During the early evening of December 21, the day of the Winter Solstice, we’ll be treated to what some are calling the Christmas Star. The two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, will reach their greatest conjunction around 6 PM CST when they will be a mere 1/10 of a degree apart just above the southwest horizon. Let’s hope for clear skies to catch the show–be sure you’ve got an unobstructed view of the lower southwest sky. You don’t need a telescope or binoculars to see this Great Conjunction of 2020 but if you have them, you’ll be a better view of show close these gas giants are in our sky!

This is really old... But it brought something to mind, maybe from the 80s. Poster Comment:A paper or an article came to my attention a loooong time ago. the gist of it was a two-handled handgun (which may be classified as an AOW (any other weapon, IDK). The first handle was the normal grip, but held in the "gangster stance" Rt hand facing the ground. The second handle was fastened to the left hand grip panel, but 90 degrees from the normal grip, with an ergonomic grip, kind of like the Hurst shift handle on my old Z-28, about 3 inches from your down-facing rt hand. OK, rt hand down, lt hand facing your rt hand. The sights were moved to the normally rt side of the firearm so ...

Fish Domesticate Tiny Shrimp To Help Run Their Farms in a First

The relationship between the fish and the shrimp is similar to how humans keep farm animals. Fish Domesticate Tiny Shrimp To Help Run Their Farms in a First Griffith University’s Environmental Futures Research Institute Humanity is no stranger to the act of domestication. Starting with wolves around 15,000 years ago, we've successfully domesticated goats, pigs, sheep, and cattle to fit our narrative of the world. Now, researchers in Australia believe they have discovered what they claim is the very first example of an animal domesticating another animal, per Griffith University News. This is especially surprising since, so far, the only other organisms known to domesticate ...

Poster Comment:I've never heard of magnetic locks or magnetic paper or a Lomelo, but I've been sidelined for awhile. The case can't be steel or it would shunt the magnetic fields, brass maybe? That would subject the thing to some pretty simple mechanical attacks. I don't think Bill has anything that would cut titanium, but with him you never know. It is a clever design, nonetheless.
Follow the Science (Except When the Results are Inconvenient)

During the COVID pandemic, much science is at play, treated either as gospel or hate speech, enough for science professionals to lose their jobs or be suspended from social media platforms if their views are inconvenient to the establishment’s narrative. The all-knowing, all-caring, anointed guru of all things COVID, Dr Anthony Fauci, has been wrong at least as often as he has been right, with a predictive value of a coin flip. Yet any scientific utterance from him is treated in the media as a scientific law, on par with gravity, as long he speaks convenient science. The CDC and WHO also have a long string of flip flops regarding the Wuhan flu. Were they following the science when ...
Your Brain Doesn’t Work the Way You Think It Does

A conversation with neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett on the counterintuitive ways your mind processes reality—and why understanding that might help you feel a little less anxious. At the very beginning of her new book Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain, psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett writes that each chapter will present “a few compelling scientific nuggets about your brain and considers what they might reveal about human nature.” Though it’s an accurate description of what follows, it dramatically undersells the degree to which each lesson will enlighten and unsettle you. It’s like lifting up the hood of a car to see an engine, except that the ...
“Holy Grail” Metallic Hydrogen Is Going to Change Everything
Post Date: 2020-11-29 13:17:28 by Horse
0 Comments
Two Harvard scientists have succeeded in creating an entirely new substance long believed to be the “holy grail” of physics — metallic hydrogen, a material of unparalleled power that could one day propel humans into deep space. The research was published in January 2017 in the journal Science. Scientists created the metallic hydrogen by pressurizing a hydrogen sample to more pounds per square inch than exists at the center of the Earth. This broke the molecule down from its solid state and allowed the particles to dissociate into atomic hydrogen. The best rocket fuel we currently have is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, burned for propellant. The efficacy of such ...
Hybrid cars emit way more pollution than advertised

Top auto brands are getting smoked by environmental analysts who have found that their carbon emissions are much higher than what carmakers had reported. The European group Transport and Environment (T&E), which campaigns for renewable energy in transportation, found three top-selling plug-in hybrid SUVs — BMW’s X5, Volvo’s XC60 and Mitsubishi’s Outlander — are emitting 28% to 89% more carbon dioxide than advertised, even under ideal road conditions. “Plug-in hybrids are fake electric cars, built for lab tests and tax breaks, not real driving,” Julia Poliscanova, T&E’s senior director of clean vehicles, said in a press statement. ...
Are Temperatures And Ocean Levels Rising Dangerously? Not Really.

There are two widely held climate-change beliefs that are simply not accurate. The first is that there has been a statistically significant warming trend in the U.S. over the last 20 years. The second is that average ocean levels are rising alarmingly due to man-made global warming. Neither of these perspectives is true; yet both remain important, nonetheless, since both are loaded with very expensive public policy implications. To refute the first view, we turn to data generated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the relevant years under discussion. The table below reports the average mean temperature in the continental U.S. for the years 1998 through 20 ...

Who is on the school board? Predictably education majors, the dimmest, lowest SAT-scoring dregs of the professional classes, the horror of smart students subjected to their grade-school mentalities. But not just ed majors. Probably also psychologists, sociologists, bored housewives, and liberal-artsy painfully virtuous men alight with Civic Consciousness. Oh god.

Google Earth user spots dome-covered cave in Antarctica, sparking alien theories

An eagle-eyed Google Earth devotee thinks there’s something odd going on in Antarctica. The self-proclaimed “Earth watchman” claims he spotted an air vent on top of a “metallic shield” in a no-fly zone on the icy continent. The keen observer posted a video on YouTube titled “HUGE Cave Opening Covered With an Iron Dome in Antarctica! – Appears to go DEEP Underground.” In his clip, Mr MBB333 estimates the area is over 150 feet wide — based on his measurement using Google Earth tools. Its two distinctive features: a pitch-black “opening” and a metal-like “shield.” “That looks like some sort of vent, a thermal vent that ...

Biases toward exciting new results (and against negative ones) lead to widespread malpractice Science Fictions: How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth, by Stuart Ritchie, (Metropolitan Books: July 2020), 353 pages In 2011, psychologist Daryl Bem published a paper in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that claimed statistically significant proof of extrasensory perception (ESP). A patently ridiculous result had gotten into the professional literature. Stuart Ritchie, then a psychology graduate student at the University of Edinburgh, thought Bem had to be wrong. He and some colleagues redid Bem’s experiment—conducted a replication ...

Three 30m asteroids headed this way, but ‘planet-killer’ Bennu may be hollow & spinning itself to DEATH After avoiding catastrophe on election day in the US, in the form of asteroid 2018 VP1 of course, NASA is now warning of another three space rocks headed this way, while also suggesting the ‘planet-killer’ Bennu may be hollow. As 2020 draws to a close, the threat from outer space remains as clear as ever, with three asteroids over 30 meters in diameter traveling Earth’s way this week alone, starting on November 10 with a double-header. Measuring roughly half the size of the Statue of Liberty (46m), asteroid 2020 UN3 will pass the planet at a safe distance ...
Under attack: The owner of a house struck five times by meteorites fears aliens are targeting him

A Bosnian man whose home has been hit an incredible five times by meteorites believes he is being targeted by aliens. Experts at Belgrade University have confirmed that all the rocks Radivoje Lajic has handed over were meteorites. They are now investigating local magnetic fields to try and work out what makes the property so attractive to the heavenly bodies. But Mr Lajic, who has had a steel girder reinforced roof put on the house he owns in the northern village of Gornja Lamovite, has an alternative explanation. He said: "I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. ...

The unsustainable, corrupt, and brittle man-made global warming story is unraveling. Climate maniacs predicted a snowless world years ago. However, we have reports this week that the Northern Hemisphere snow mass is already 300 gigatons above the 1982-2012 average. This week hundreds of all-time cold records fell across North America. No heat, only frigid, deepening, and dangerous cold. The United States (Lower-48) just set its coldest temperature ever recorded this early in the season. Denver obliterated its all-time low-temperature record in weather books dating back 148 years. It is snowing in Hawaii! Winter is coming in hard and strong, with the cold reaching all the way to Mexico. ...

Who Owns Life? Canadian Farmer Sued by Monsanto by Lynne Jackson This page last modified August 18, 2019 ALBANY, NY — The First Lutheran Church was the setting for the talk by Percy Schmeiser, the Canadian farmer being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement. Speaking to a standing room only crowd of more than 300, Percy spoke plainly and clearly about the lawsuit and what it means to everyone in the world. Percy described himself as a seed saver and seed developer. A seed saver is a farmer who saves seed from one year to the next so that he has seed to plant the next year, and does not need to buy seed. His crop was canola, also known as rapeseed. He and his wife Louise spent 50 ...

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] I’ve published quotes from Dr. Tom Cowan’s major article [6] exposing how CDC journal authors “assemble” the idea of a virus from cobbled sequences they ASSUME are parts of SARS-CoV-2.
