Full Moon March 19, 2011

March 9th, 2011

The full moon will be very close to Earth, the closest it’s been for years. The Moon goes perigee (closest to Earth) and apogee (farthest from Earth) once every month.
On March 19th, 2011 in the sign Virgo, the Moon will be the closest it has been in years and, for this reason is considered a “Super Moon”. What’s so special about this Super moon is that this time it is  particularly close to the Earth.
The next Super Moon will occur on November 14, 2016 in the sign of Taurus. The last one was January 30, 2010 in the sign Leo.
Because the Moon influences the Earth’s atmosphere, the closer it gets the more it  influences us.

The coming Super Moon (which is also known as a Full Worm Moon) will be so extreme (221,566 miles/355.665 kilometers away ) that a similar event hasn’t been seen since 1993 – it’s almost an Extreme Super Duper moon.

Los Alamos Scientist: TSA Scanners Shred Human DNA

March 8th, 2011

In layman’s terms what Alexandrov and his team discovered is that the resonant effects of the THz waves bombarding humans unzips the double-stranded DNA molecule. This ripping apart of the twisted chain of DNA creates bubbles between the genes that can interfere with the processes of life itself: normal DNA replication and critical gene expression.

Nyiragongo Crater: Journey to the Center of the World

March 8th, 2011

In June 2010, a team of scientists and intrepid explorers stepped onto the shore of the lava lake boiling in the depths of Nyiragongo Crater, in the heart of the Great Lakes region of Africa. The team had dreamed of this: walking on the shores of the world’s largest lava lake

2012 – Doom ain’t What It Used to Be.

March 4th, 2011

From Cliff High at Half Past Human…

The good news includes the thought that no continent crossing waves of 2+ kilometers height are likely to occur. However, as the expansion occurs, there will be huge waves probably as high as 800 meters or so, or near the theoretic maximum limit in wave height rising into land. So….still waves on the order of 2600 feet or more, but none that will cross the great mountain ranges. Also the good news would include only limited continental penetration by waves. And these should be predictably larger and more devastating, and flood further inland on the eastern coasts of the continents than on the west. On the other hand, the western coasts will have to deal with significant winds, and torrential amounts of water both from rains, and from tsunamis. As the ocean floors tear and thin, waves from ruptures and landform shifts will assault the coasts. For reasons too detailed to pursue here, they will be more of a problem for west coasts than east. Also volcanic eruptions, and large scale heating of the waters will result in increasing evaporation causing the ‘atmospheric rivers’ to grow in orders of magnitude.

A 2012 viewpoint…

March 4th, 2011

There is ample evidence in the literature of ancient civilizations that such disasters have occured in the past and also clues that they knew when another such calamity would occur. The Dresden Codex of the Maya for instance, contains the secrets of the sunspot cycle, about which our modern astronomers know almost nothing!

English gardener banned from vegetable show for ‘being too good’

March 1st, 2011

“This is my hobby and I have been supporting their show for four years. I find the request very insulting - it is a competition so I would have thought it is down to other growers to try harder if they want to beat me,” he said.

“I want nothing more to do with the society. I won’t be showing there again and I have told them that they can come and collect their trophies,” Stirzaker added.

Speculation continues over Leckhampton Hill leaf mystery

February 15th, 2011

Douglas Huntzinger, from California, said: “This forest has been charged with a large electromagnetic force field.

“Each tree is a locus of the charge. Each tree then discharges the force in a radiating pattern into the ground.”

Mary Lebus said: “Looks like a pattern created by a mulching mower, or something like that, where the wheels compress the organic layer.

“The more insulated area doesn’t warm the snow so much, so it isn’t melting.”

Freddie herself believes nature is behind the pattern.

Göbekli Tepe: Making us rethink our ancestors

February 12th, 2011

“Göbekli Tepe is approximately 300 meters wide and 15 meters high,” he explains, with only roughly five percent of the site being excavated thus far. Unlike 100 years ago, today’s archaeologists have access to a wide variety of technology to help them with their work. “The mound was examined in a geomagnetic survey which showed that there are many more circular arrangements of pillars buried there,” he explains. “Aerial photographs have also been taken of the site and a 3D-laser scan was also done recently to document the excavated areas in their current state. Several pillars have also been scanned and documented in detail. Judging by the dimensions of the whole mound and the results of the geomagnetic survey — indicating that there are more enclosures waiting to be uncovered; only a small area of the whole complex has been excavated so far. Four enclosures, consisting of circles formed from standing pillars with a T-shaped head gathered around a central pair of noticeably larger pillars, have been uncovered close to each other. The floor consists of smooth rock. Another enclosure has been detected on the western plateau, a circular hollow in the rock. Although it lacks preserved pillars, it is apparently comparable to the other enclosures as there’s a foot mounting for the pillars. A sixth circular enclosure was also found and excavated recently.”

KARAHUNJ ARMENIAN STONEHENGE

February 12th, 2011

Carahunge is 3,500 years older than England’s Stonehenge and 3,000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids. The total area of the observatory is 7 hectares. According to the scientist’s findings, a temple consisting of 40 stones built in honor of the Armenians’ main God, Ari, meaning the Sun, is situated in the central part of Carahunge. Besides the temple, it had a large and developed observatory, and also a university that makes up the temple’s wings. Herouni shows photographs shot from a helicopter and says: “This is the central circle with 40 stones, which are without holes, these are the southern and northern wings. Soon this territory will be fenced and will be turned into a museum. Carahunge is situated at a height of nearly 1,750 meters, in a plane area.” The stones of Carahunge are made of basalt. Each of them weighs up to 10 tons. Those stones without holes make up one tool together with those having holes in them. Over millenniums the stones became worn and grown over with thick layers of moss. However, Herouni says that the holes have been rather well preserved since they were cleanly processed once. The holes are telescopic tools that look at different points on the horizon.
