NEMESIS - Terror Rays from Space by Bertram Eljon Holubek, Germany, Version 4.2, Prairial 2G12009 (Summer +2009), Public Domain Text NEMESIS - Terror Rays from Space by Bertram Eljon Holubek, Germany, Version 4.2, Prairial 2G12009 (Summer +2009), Public Domain Text I. Abstract This document is about N-rays, about magnetic field lines from outer space. Those rubber-like field lines come from distant pulsar stars, but they are modulated by hostile aliens who live at Sirius and other nearby stars. As I scrutinize the theories of old-time science I conclude that little is understood of many phenomena of astronomy so far, including field lines. This document is entertaining as it makes fun of wrong theories, and it is enlightening as it clears up many riddles of science. We learn why black holes cannot exist and that the Earth has a west-pole. As we check out what is going on in our orbital zone, we find good evidence for those N-rays. They fall in causing visible holes in the dayglow. They are measurable as magnetic substorms who peak at a 27-day cycle. They form characteristic bulges of conductivity, often in polar regions. Eventually they build up magnetic storms who subsequently cause earthquakes or Bermuda Triangle troubles like 'alien abductions'. But it's often not easy to distinguish between N-rays and good G-rays who are sent out by the Earth Goddess. As N-rays are active at the surface, they cause characteristic micro-variations of the local magnetic field. Such 'sferics' were measured in hospitals while the number of health problems was rising. Circles of magnetic disturbances reaching high up into the sky were also found at places where plane crashes had occurred. Version 4.2 corrects errors about the Van Allen belt in chapter 7 and adds a sub-chapter about rogue waves to chapter 8. II. Overview 1. Introductory 1.1 A short Introduction. For decades SETI searched for signals from outer space. For some years now I claim that I have found them. But the problem is that by 90% those signals originate from planets of hostile aliens. Devils send N-rays to Earth who terrorize and make people insane. Here I discuss lots of science texts and also present evidence to support my theory - in fact, it's much more than a theory. It's also a message from nicer aliens, including the deity who created Earth. But basically it's just a text that tries to talk simple about most complicated issues of science. 1.2 Astronomy versus Religion. This is careful scientific work, but it leads us to a religious view of our world that is very unlike the theories of old-time science. As we read about 'black holes' or 'dark energy', we may think that those experts know what they are talking about, even if we don't. But even some better experts admit that those old-time theories are inconsistent and also much at odds with the finds. In showing where old-time astronomy was wrong, this text leads to a correct understanding of the world we live in. 1.3 An Introduction into UTR. Why is Stalin still so popular in Russia? The new UTR (Universally True Religion) explains many such unpopular questions. In this chapter the special phrases and dogmas of true religion are explained who may be necessary for you to understand parts of this text. You may also find warnings here you should take seriously. 1.4 A short History of N-ray Research. When Blondlot tried to discover unknown rays, he ended up duped and discredited. It may be dangerous to venture on this field, this is also what we learn from little known stories about Moses or Aleister Crowley. Today researchers need development perspectives, a good heart and a good woman at their side. 2. Do Hypernovas hit us with Ray Bursts? Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be strongest explosions of the universe. But their combed radiation shows that they can't come from very far away. To understand them we must learn what redshift really signifies and why black holes can't exist. Also we discuss funny nonsense theories in the 'Sky Fools' club. But how can it be possible that GRB echoes are moving? 3. Do Galaxies throw Cosmic Baseballs at us? As we check results of several teams of high energy particle experts, this stimulates guffaw emissions. While experts propose the most amazing theories of 'dead quasars' or 'dormant black holes' or 'Star Trek ray curtains', we only wonder why they still manage to detect the regular high-level impacts of research money, since the sources of their particles are found missing. 4. Do Solar Flares threaten us? Often heard are worries that solar storms damage our satellites. But as we find out the secrets of the solar cycle and learn about field lines from outer space, we also find evidence that aliens manipulate our Sun. And to our big surprise, not solar storms but magnetic storms are the big problem that we have. And those storms seem to depend not on solar activity but on other mysterious triggers. A breathtaking chapter! 5. Do Mini-Comets bombard us? This chapter looks at mystery spots in the dayglow of planet Earth. For decades a small group of outsider experts fought out a bitter controversy against their peers over this. They lost, because only I am able to explain correctly why those spots appear - and eventually disappear again. Indeed, N-rays do cause this phenomenon. 6. Do Thunderstorms damage our Health? Why were so many sextons killed by lightnings? This chapter looks at this and other weather mysteries. We find that thunderstorm cells are surprisingly closely connected to 'whistler waves', and we also find out why 'terror ray flashes' miss out in the South of the USA, but are common in central Africa. We also find out why 'sferics' cause traffic accidents. 7.Does the SAA attack our Satellites? This chapter looks in detail at the magnetosphere, a ray sphere that isn't really there. We also find out why there are phantom electrons in the Van Allen belts and why Jupiter has a red spot. We wonder about the 'SAA' above Rio, a hole in the sky that might be called our west pole. This difficult chapter also discusses tricky aspects of ray physics. 8. Does the Bermuda Triangle abduct our Planes? The Bermuda Triangle is a region of tragic accidents and mysterious incidents. As we scan such cases we find not only reliable testimonies of phenomena, but we also find mystery magnetic anomalies, deadly circles of the sky. We conclude that alien abduction stories only mask alien terror attacks. There is a connection to the SAA. But this doesn't stop experts from sending baleful views to the underground. 9. Does Global Warming raise Hurricanes? There is also a connection to the SAA as we regard the strength and destructiveness of hurricanes. Christians know who is making hurricanes bad. But let us not forget that such eyestorms from the Caribbean also regulate the climate of many climate zones of our planet. We also learn the secret of disaster hurricane Katrina. 10. Does Mother Earth cause Earthquakes? As we scan methods of earthquake prediction, we are surprised to learn in how many cases mystery warnings precede an earthquake. We should watch out for magnetic storms and cloud gaps and ionospheric heating, and we should not disregard 'animal warnings'. Controlled development should help us to better prevent earthquake catastrophes. But first experts must get rid of their theoretical blinds. 11. Do Aliens send us bad Sky Signs? Yes. This chapter looks at mystery UFO lights, and explains why those UFOs lately took a leave from planet Earth. We also regard parhelic circles, shadow bands, undular bores and other mysteries of the sky. Again there cannot be doubt that events here on Earth are closely linked to invisible field lines of the ionosphere and above. 12. Absolutely unbelievable! This chapter is looking at selected big mysteries of our physics, from ray physics to simple gadgets like a spinning top. It's scary how little our experts really understand of fundamental forces like inertia. 13. The Treasure Chamber. So how can we get to understand the big mysteries of our world? This short conclusion of the text explains how marble grows and why women are needed at the front; and also grants say to the Earth Goddess. 1.1 A short Introduction For decades now, the SETI institute has scanned the sky to catch up signals from outer space. They found nothing significant. A few signals seemed to be different from the usual static noise, signals who came from a region where we also find the well- known star associations of the Hyades and the Pleiades. Those signals called SHGb02+14a do "resemble distorted radio signals", as Eric Korpela and other SETI experts pointed out. But that's nothing much. A few years ago, the Cosmic Call Initiative sent out several radio messages to a few rather faraway stars, including 47 UMa. We don't expect answers to come in any time soon. This negative SETI result seems to confirm the basic notion of science that we are apparently out of reach for cosmic messages. Indeed this is what SETI founder Frank Drake calculated out in his famous 'Drake Equation'. The probability that aliens did develop on faraway stars who are just as far as we are with radio technology is rather small. And if they are not as far as we are, then any attempts to contact them are futile. But what about aliens with a far superior technology? Of course we can seriously speculate about aliens who did develop a super-technology.

We study gravitational perturbation effects of observed giant extrasolar planets on hypothetical Earth-like planets in the context of the three-body problem. This paper considers a large parameter survey of different orbital configuration of two extrasolar giant planets (HD 70642b and HD 4208b) and compares their dynamical effect on Earth-mass planetary orbits initially located within the respective habitable terrestrial region. We are interested in determining giant-planet orbit (and mass) parameters that favor the condi- tion to render an Earth-mass planet to remain on a stable and bounded orbit within the continuous habitable zone. Methods. We applied symplectic numerical integration techniques to studying the short and long term time evolution of hypothetical Earth-mass planets that are treated as particles. In addition, we adopt the MEGNO technique to obtain a complete dynamical picture of the terrestrial phase space environment.

  • Dynamical Stability and Habitability of a Terrestrial Planet in HD74156
    A dynamic search for potential habitable planets amongst the extrasolar planets 1,2 1 1 1,3 1, 4 P. Hinds , A. Munro , S. T. Maddison , C. Tan , and M. C. Gino [1] Swinburne University, Australia [2] Pierce College, USA [3] Methodist Ladies’ College, Australia [4] Dudley Observatory, USA ABSTRACT: While the detection of habitable terrestrial planets around nearby stars is currently beyond our observational capabilities, dynamical studies can help us locate potential candidates. Following from the work of Menou & Tabachnik (2003), we use a symplectic integrator to search for potential stable terrestrial planetary orbits in the habitable zones of known extrasolar planetary systems. A swarm of massless test particles is initially used to identify stability zones, and then an Earth-mass planet is placed within these zones to investigate their dynamical stability. We investigate 22 new systems discovered since the work of Menou & Tabachnik, as well as simulate some of the previous 85 extrasolar systems whose orbital parameters have been more precisely constrained. In particular, we model three systems that are now confirmed or potential double planetary systems: HD169830, HD160691 and eps Eridani. The results of these dynamical studies can be used as a potential target list for the Terrestrial Planet Finder. Introduction Numerical Technique Results & Discussion To date 122 extrasolar planets have been detected around 107 stars, with 13 of them To follow the evolution of the planetary systems, we use the SWIFT integration software package1. This The systems we have investigated broadly fall in four categories: (1) unstable being multiple planet systems (Schneider, 2004). Observational evidence for the allows us to model a planetary system and a swarm of massless test particles in orbit around a central star.

The assessment of the frequency of planetary systems reproducing the solar system’s architecture is still an open problem in exoplanetary science. Detailed study of multiplicity and architecture is generally hampered by limitations in quality, temporal extension and observing strategy, causing difficulties in detecting low-mass inner planets in the presence of outer giant planets. Aims. We present the results of high-cadence and high-precision HARPS observations on 20 solar-type stars known to host a single long-period giant planet in order to search for additional inner companions and estimate the occurence rate fp of scaled solar system analogues – in other words, systems featuring lower-mass inner planets in the presence of long-period giant planets.

The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. TRUE MASSES OF RADIAL-VELOCITY EXOPLANETS Robert A. Brown Space Telescope Science Institute, USA; [email protected] Received 2015 January 12; accepted 2015 April 14; published 2015 MM DD ABSTRACT We study the task of estimating the true masses of known radial-velocity (RV) exoplanets by means of direct astrometry on coronagraphic images to measure the apparent separation between exoplanet and host star. Initially, we assume perfect knowledge of the RV orbital parameters and that all errors are due to photon statistics. We construct design reference missions for four missions currently under study at NASA: EXO-S and WFIRST-S, with external star shades for starlight suppression, EXO-C and WFIRST-C, with internal coronagraphs. These DRMs reveal extreme scheduling constraints due to the combination of solar and anti-solar pointing restrictions, photometric and obscurational completeness, image blurring due to orbital motion, and the “nodal effect,” which is the independence of apparent separation and inclination when the planet crosses the plane of the sky through the host star. Next, we address the issue of nonzero uncertainties in RV orbital parameters by investigating their impact on the observations of 21 single-planet systems. Except for two—GJ 676 A b and 16 Cyg B b, which are observable only by the star-shade missions—we find that current uncertainties in orbital parameters generally prevent accurate, unbiased estimation of true planetary mass.

    March/April 2009 Issue 145 A Publication for the members of the American Astronomical Society 3 President’s Column John Huchra, [email protected] Council Actions I have just come back from the Long Beach meeting, and all I can say is “wow!” We received many positive comments on both the talks and the high level of activity at the meeting, and the breakout 4 town halls and special sessions were all well attended. Despite restrictions on the use of NASA funds AAS Election for meeting travel we had nearly 2600 attendees. We are also sorry about the cold floor in the big hall, although many joked that this was a good way to keep people awake at 8:30 in the morning. The Results meeting had many high points, including, for me, the announcement of this year’s prize winners and a call for the Milky Way to go on a diet—evidence was presented for a near doubling of its mass, making us a one-to-one analogue of Andromeda. That also means that the two galaxies will crash into each 4 other much sooner than previously expected. There were kickoffs of both the International Year of Pasadena Meeting Astronomy (IYA), complete with a wonderful new movie on the history of the telescope by Interstellar Studios, and the new Astronomy & Astrophysics Decadal Survey, Astro2010 (more on that later). We also had thought provoking sessions on science in Australia and astronomy in China. My personal 6 prediction is that the next decade will be the decade of international collaboration as science, especially astronomy and astrophysics, continues to become more and more collaborative and international in Highlights from nature.
