Good evening everyone. Trump wants the US to harvest the moon and ignore International agreements that the moon is not to be messed with. How does everyone feel about our moon and other planets being mined for resources and precious minerals? I really don't think it's a good idea to be taking lumps out of something that is so sensitively linked to our planet? Trump order encourages US to mine the moon | Donald Trump | The Guardian AMP.THEGUARDIAN.COM Executive order says US will oppose any international effort to bar it from removing chunks of moon, Mars or elsewhere in space

This sounds exciting to watch but would likely set off something huge in the media and possibly a mass scare/fear in some areas around the world especially in areas that do not get much news and so not know it's a hoax. Certainly going to be interesting though. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/-alien-invasion--to-launch-in-april---but--ufos--will-be-glowing-drones-piloted-by-hoaxers-084204169.html#1tDDf4z - Yahoo news. Read some other information on this project or experiment: http://ufosightingshotspot.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/world-wide-false-flag-ufo-event-planned.html This is a quite concern at what could happen during the event, and shouldn't be taken lightly, especially when a statement like this is made and the intentions they have (the organizers of event) My idea with this interesting experiment is it is a psychological reactive experiment - to find out how people react to such events, but mostly due to and thankfully due to the Internet/media many a word gets around that it is not an attack or invasion from space by other beings but a hoax. What do you think of this and how are people likely to react? should it go ahead or be banned? should the event be allowed only in places that know about it to avoid panic? Tobor.

Seriously incredible views of the weather around the world that i found on you tube. The hurricanes look so fascinating from above. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8q7_qX1FsiNUa9bDc1jFqw

New Planet Is Earth's Twin 200 Light Years Away The planet, known as KOI-314c, is the same weight as Earth, but much larger and has a surface temperature of 104C. Scientists have stumbled upon a planet considered Earth's 'twin' in another solar system 200 light years away. Known as KOI-314c, the planet is the same weight as Earth, but is 60% larger. The planet is also much hotter than Earth, with scientists estimating its surface temperatures to be around 104C - unsupportive of most life forms on Earth. KOI-314c is suspected to have a thick gaseous atmosphere, making the planet only 30% denser than water. However, despite a similar weight, astronomers said the planet is not considered "Earth-like". "This planet might have the same mass as Earth, but it is certainly not Earth-like," said lead astronomer Dr David Kipping, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the US. He added: "It proves that there is no clear dividing line between rocky worlds like Earth and fluffier planets like water worlds or gas giants." Scientists made the discovery by accident while searching for moons using the powerful Kepler space telescope. "When we noticed this planet showed transit timing variations, the signature was clearly due to the other planet in the system and not a moon," said Dr Kipping. "At first we were disappointed it wasn't a moon, but then we soon realised it was an extraordinary measurement." Evidence of the new planet was presented at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington DC. http://news.sky.com/story/1191102/new-planet-is-earths-twin-200-light-years-away Might not be our earth but is close to it.Thats good news if something happens here.Just need to get used to hotter temps and other things...

A rare opportunity is close approaching to see a asteroid with the naked eye as it skims past the Earth. Next Saturday 31st march asteroid 2012 EG5 approaches the Earth. This is one of the many near earth objects being monitored and it special properties gives users accross the Northern Hemisphere a view that is extremely rare. 2012 EG5 was first spotted during January 2012 and its course brings it to within 0.6 LD of the Earth. This means that it will be 4/10ths closer to us than the moon. Roal polif of Korean space agency describes the 62m object as a metalic based projectile, rather than a more common rock based material. " The main material of 2012 EGS is of a composition and density close to silver" The asteroid will appear first at 7 degrees above the western horizon shortly before midnight 31st March. Certain locations may see glimpses of the Asteroid as sunlight reflects of the 62m body. There is some uncertainty on how bright this will appear due to its great distance and relatively small size. As dawn breaks the sun will be directly horizontal to the object and in perfect alignment with 2012 EGS to give anyone above 20 deg North a clear view. The asteroid will be clearly visible in daylight as it passes the earth on its closest approach starting at 8am on the Sunday morning, remaining clearly visible until 10:20 Am. At 11Am the asteroid will dissapear from view, as the light reflected no longer faces Earth. The asteroid will have travelled over 750,000 km during this short space of time. Tips to see 2012 EGS At 11pm 31st March the asteroid will enter the optimum position for the first time, and may as it rotates flash sunlight towards the Earth. It is estimated that the light ommitted at this stage will be less than Au3. Sunday morning at 8am the alignment of the 3 objects begins it optimum for viewing. The Northern Hemisphere Earth will be at exactly 90deg to the horizontal path of sunlight from the Asteroid. This will be visible for all Northern locations as the Earth rotates and sun rises. So where ever you are in the Northern hemisphere the Asteroid will be visible at the times above for your local area. As the sun reaches Mid Morning the light will hit the face of the Asteroid facing away from Earth and the Earth side will be in Shadow. The Asteroid will then be invisible and will dissapear into the solar system never to return again. All areas above 20 Deg North will be able to clearly spot the object with the naked eye, looking like the brightest star ever seen, and in daylight. ( Weather permitting) You will need No telescope is needed to see 2012 EGS during its daylight pass. Clear or partially clear skies will be needed. A location at or North of Northern Africa, Barbados, Northern India and Northern China, Europe and North America are prime Locations to view the Asteroid at 9am - 10am local time Sunday. Please report first sightings here

Planet Mars could there be life under the surface? The surface of mars images using Google Mars explorer(google earth) link - all about the planet - http://nineplanets.org/mars.html It has an amazing and exciting surface, incredible intense colours of reds and oranges, we are using robots to explore a land thats so old yet so new to us, a place we may one day visit and travel on to explore ourselfs, searching for life never before thought could have existed because of the conditions, but with this possibility now increasing as we make new discoveries of what could be water flows. all very exciting!
