Life in the universe may not be as abundant as you’d think with millions of potential earth like planets

..so say scientists who ponder if life on earth is a fluke..

And I wonder this based on the pondering of the highly educated: If life on earth is a fluke then it makes me almost have to ask whether the human species is a parasite? Did earth develop a disease named life? Or is it instead a message that somewhere the old debated book we call the Bible is on to something that science is finally realizing: Human are special and in the image of God?

Weighty questions, I guess, for a weekend..?

The 'Holy Grail' of planets discovered

We’ve been hearing about potentially millions of billions of trillions of planets existing in the galaxy for months now with the discoveries that Kepler has given us. Finally, it appears that astronomers have found a planet that people could maybe live on. But… Scientists found the planet, Gliese 667Cc, orbiting around a red dwarf star, 22 light years away from the earth. Which is really far away.. So don’t pack your bags yet. You’re confined to the little blue dot for the time being. Future generations though may make it more important to get off this dot depending on how many resources have been depleted by the time we master the art of light year travel..

Fly me to the moon.. or the sun

A few weeks ago, a photo made the Internet rounds.. It appeared to show a spaceship docking near the sun.. It was discredited and most reputable people said it was not an alien spacecraft but instead a potential optical illusion.

Enter the newest photo: This one seems to be a little better in quality and a little more mysterious. It appears to show some type of craft flying near the sun..

The images come from NASA. NASA of course didn't release them heralding the new age of disclosure.. I assume we will soon hear those officials press releases describing 'optical illusions' or flares or camera errors.. Or something.
Or maybe this.. an alien craft.
Which would have to be pretty strong to be that close to the immense ball of fire, right?

And I'm fully aware that most will say with confidence no way.
I just curiously say what if.
What if.

Just when you thought you were getting ahead of the game. . . comes this study

Sure, my pudding expires December 21 2012 and lots of other people think people in general will, too. But we can’t lose hope. Fukushima may have blasted the planet with extreme radiation.. others worry about our online rights being suddenly stripped with the next bill that has too long of an acronym to even understand anymore. And the weather is crazy, isn’t it? Slightly maddening cows hopefully didn’t get into our meat supply, even though South Korea banned our imports. We will still eat them. Beef, it’s what for dinner. 20 years later you may go mad, too.

But all that aside, life isn’t that bad, right?

Enter this study: The planet Earth is ready to face a century of disasters.

That’s right.. not just a few weeks, or a month.. or a year or two. No, this report goes all the way: A whole century. But the time humans make it to the 22nd, if we should be so lucky as a species, generations may look back on us in 2012 and say ‘these poor schmucks didn’t know what was about to hit them!’

The Royal Society seems to know. They say world population needs to be ‘stabalised’ (British spelling) in order to take awayeth from the rich nations and giveth to the poor nations.  Yes, indeed. Agenda 21 anyone? Perhaps conspiracy theories of population control are right after all?

What surprised me was that this report didn’t talk much about the most pressing issue set to face our world in the next 20 or so years: Water. Just peruse your local video rental store…..oh wait they are all shut down… Go to Netflix, you won’t find these in the local RedBox: 5 documentaries that you must see to understand the water crisis that we face—in our lifetime.. 

But instead of worrying about clean water and air… let’s frack. Seriously.. Fracking make it all go away.

But it does seem to cause an increase in manmade earthquakes, doesn’t it? If you care. Most of the fracking in rural areas anyway. And what person REALLY cares about the rural area anyway. 

Besides the Obama administration, which wants to limit what farmhands can do. 

Little House on the Prairie. Now regulated!?

Get me Bill Gates! I need a vaccine.

My rambling Thursday morning whatever. Over and out.

THURSDAY MORNING RADAR

Top of the morning. What the EarthInformer is watching and feels you should too:

• More auroras may be in the offing. A minor CME is en route to Earth, due to arrive on April 26th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% to 30% chance of geomagnetic storms.. The sun has been active lately. Small CMEs but the sun is currently littered with sunspots...
• From the NOAA threat page, the Northeast is receiving much below normal temps..And the severe drought continues right where it has been. 
• But there are some threats not being addressed by the NOAA are being addressed but the DutchSinse YouTube channel, where the severe weather potentials are being discussed. The severe weather doesn't appear to be on the radar of the NWS.. people are on their own watching the skies on this one.
• Also being watched:
• A Columbia Nuclear worker has been exposed to radiation
• Mexico is prepping shelters as a volcano dormant for 11 years suddenly spews
• Another volcano rumbles in Ecuador 
• Heat wave expected to start hitting Texas today

Lots on the radar. Lots more you may know of than me.. Always keep alert

Wednesday news roundup (not the Monsanto version)

We have heard lots of news stories about how kids aren't alright. You'll see one below about children drinking hand sanitizer. But lately there seems to be an equal amount about the professionals tasked with watching those kids going equally as bad Such is the case from the Garden State.. A NJ Autistic boy records abuse at hands of teachers.. Dad wired his son.. and on the tape: Bullying teachers and staff of the boy.. Exposed now for the world to read about .. and hear.. Britain reopens Madeline McCann missing child case.. FBI claims an internet doomsday may occur on July 9... Y2-12. You can check your computer. Hope it will work. Hope mine will too. Mysterious object seemingly punching holes in Saturn's 'weird ring'.. Advocates say the deep space mining plan that Google and James Cameron want to embark on really is the same as deep sea drilling. And just as some folks on the Gulf how crazy that deep sea drilling has been.. Again! Proving truth in advertising can occur, a woman collapsed into unconsciousness at the Las Vegas restaurant while eating a "double bypass burger," drinking a margarita and smoking a cigarette.. Perhap the next double bypass may occur at Pizza Hut, where a new product is set to be unveiled: Cheeseburger crusted pizza. South Korea stops importing US beef due to mad cow case.. Labor Department plans to ban kids from performing farm chores. Parents--and some kids--upset.. The kids aren't alright: Newest fad of kids drinking hand sanitizer sending teens to poison centers.. THE STUDENT LOAN BUBBLE.. ABOUT TO BURST? Crime on NYC subways increases.. iPhone and iPads being stolen while passengers sleep.. There is more news.. but times like these call for moderation. Too much bad news isn't a good thing. As the earth turns..

It's 2:42 AM or PM somewhere: Art Bell's newest photo

So what is he thinking.. the knowing eyes... will he return? Will he stick to shortwave.. Ham is his handle and Coast is the past? Interesting new photo of Art Bell posted tonight by Mr. Bell himself on his Facebook page. Radio equipment in the back, apparently not getting dusty and actually quite clean after the 2011 fire extinguisher incident.

So now what?
Until we know, you can find him hamming it up on Echolink, if you have the technological knowledge to do so.
