Mars Machinery & Artifacts Never Before Scene Photos NASA Exclusive

This Ones A Little Heavy lets start out slow. Richard C Hoagland Wiki



Hoagland served as a "curator of astronomy & space science"[6] at the "Springfield Museum of Science," located at The Quadrangle in Springfield, Massachusetts, and was science adviser to Walter Cronkite and CBS News during the Apollo program.[7] "Wiki"


Hoagland Mars Claims




Hoagland also speculated that ancient Martians may have escaped to Earth, genetically engineered certain human populations, referencing the Mesopotamian myths of the Annunaki and the "fallen angels" of the Old Testament, and that these human populations are related to "Martians."Wiki"


Other claims:
Rocks on Mars containing biological fossils were purposely destroyed by NASA's rover MER-B ("Opportunity"). [26]
The true color of Mars is salmon red with patches of greenish plant life and a light blue sky.[27]
(Adapted with acknowledgment from Tom Van Flandern) Mars was once the moon of a larger planet, that then exploded, leaving Mars isolated.[28]
The advanced civilization on Mars had prior warning of the cataclysm and so escaped via migration to planet Earth, eventually adapting to the environment and becoming the present human race.[29]
Numerous objects surrounding the landing sites of the Mars Exploration Rovers are in fact pieces of Martian machinery.[30]

Astronomers Claim Discovery of Earth-like Planet



Astronomers Claim Discovery of Earth-like Planet




Original Article


A team of astronomers announced they have discovered the smallest and potentially most Earth-like extrasolar planet yet. Five times as massive as Earth, it orbits a relatively cool star at a distance that would provide earthly temperatures as well, signaling the possibility of liquid water.


"The separation between the planet and its star is just right for having liquid water at its surface," says astronomer and team spokesperson Stephane Udry of the Observatory of Geneva in Versoix, Switzerland. "That's why we are a bit excited."


But researchers do not yet know if the planet contains water, if it is truly rocky like Earth, which might make it hospitable to life as we know it, or whether it is blanketed by a thick atmosphere. "What we have," Udry says, "is the minimum mass of the planet and its separation" from its star.


The researchers say they detected the presence of two new extrasolar planets (exoplanets) around a red dwarf star, Gliese 581, 20.5 light-years away in the constellation Libra, based on slight motions of the star. Their discovery brings the total number of planets orbiting Gliese 581 to three; two years ago they made the initial finding of a planet there.


Udry says the group has submitted a paper for peer review and plans to publish a draft this week. "The claim is extremely interesting and the team is very credible," says astronomer David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., adding that he cannot judge the validity of the claim until the team publishes its data.


Researchers believe that many smallish exoplanets exist, but so far they have only found 13 "super Earths" weighing in at less than 20 Earth masses, compared with more than 200 heavier gaseous planets. Udry's group searches for smaller planets using a telescope called HARPS (High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher), which looks for stars that wobble slightly.


As a planet orbits, it pulls a star back and forth. The range of motion increases with the planet's mass, and the time needed for one orbit (or one back and forth) translates into its distance from the star.


The smaller of the new planets, dubbed Gliese 581 c, orbits at one fourteenth the distance between Earth and the sun. But the red dwarf is 50 times cooler than the sun. The group estimates that the planet would experience temperatures in the zero-to-40-degree-Celsius (32-to-104-Fahrenheit) range.


"It's sort of at the 'Goldilocks' distance," says Charbonneau—closer to its star and the heat would vaporize any water; farther away and water would freeze.


The big question is whether there really is water on Gliese 581 c's surface, which requires that its surface be solid. Udry says planets smaller than 15 Earth masses are likely to be rocky or icy.


Charbonneau is more cautious. A five-Earth-mass planet "sort of looks like Earth, but it sort of looks like Neptune. So which is it?" he says. "There's just no way to know."


Prior Water Claim Evaporated?


In related news, a recent report of water vapor on gaseous extrasolar planet HD 209458 b may have been premature. Earlier this month, an astronomer claimed as much based on measurements of starlight passing through the planet's atmosphere.


Charbonneau, who led the team that collected the data, says the analysis is unconvincing because the telescope itself may have introduced variation that could be mistaken for fluctuation in light coming from the star.


Observations by the Hubble or Spitzer space telescopes may resolve the question once and for all in coming months, Charbonneau says.

Gadgets Spy Toys Revolutionary Technology

8 Outlet Solar Charger





Brilliant new idea for people who work outdoors or for professionals who spend a lot of time traveling. This 8 adapter solar charger works with most mobile electronic devices and can begin charging after only 3 minutes in the sun. This model is lightweight and can fit into your shirt pocket for easy transporting. Harness the limitless power of the sun and empower your daily lives with this solar charger.





Motokata Bionic Ear Hearing Amplifier









Use this hearing amplifier as a spy device to hear what is going on down the hall or use it for everyday tasks like watching TV with the volume turned down. The possibilities are endless. Anything which requires super hearing.
The Motokata Bionic Ear Hearing Amplifier will amplify sounds and voices up to 50 decibels. This gadget is small and can easily be tucked away into a shirt or coat pocket. It only weighs about an ounce and uses one AAA battery. It has a volume control as well.








Security Camera Bipass




The PP-SpyCamDetector uses technology developed by the military for locating hidden wired and wireless cameras. Now you can have this same technology in a convenient and portable gadget which can be used anywhere.


This baby does not rely on RF signals like other bug and camera detectors do. It uses an array of ultra bright LEDs which create a strong reflection from the hidden camera’s lens which the SpyCam Detector can easily pick up. Using the SpyCam Detector is very easy. Simply hold up to your eye and press the button to activate the bright LEDs. Then you scan the room for hidden cameras.









Wifi Satellite Shaped Extention Boots Signal by 150 N









With a supports range of nearly 4,000 feet, this 802.11n capable antenna can extend a wireless network up to six times its range and claims a data throughput 12 times the average for transfer speeds in excess of 300Mbps. IN addition, the 300-N is purely plug and play by USB and is portable. Simply plug the 300N into your laptop, install the included software, and direct the HWDN1 towards a wireless source. The result will be blazing speeds when the only open chair at Starbucks is wrapped around rebar yielding a paltry 1 bar signal.





Hope you enjoy some tech enhancement gadgets
