Planet X Nibiru Secrets Found In Sumerian Mythology



(ALTHeadlines) Planet X Nibiru, the mysterious large planetary object that some people believe will either collide or have a near miss with Earth when it returns on an orbit that takes it thousands of years to complete. The name "Nibiru" was brought to world's attention from the writings of ancient astronaut theorist Zecharia Sitchin and his famous interpretations of Babylonian and Sumerian mythology and symbology. Based on Sitchin's interpretations of Sumerian mythology, Sitchin wrote that Nibiru was the home of a technologically advanced human-like extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki. He also believed that these same beings were called The Nephilim (race of giants) in the Book of Genesis, which evolved after the Anunnaki first arrived on Earth after Nibiru passed near by our solar system on one of the many 3,600 orbital cycles.

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) is an elongated dark globule of more than 20 light-years long within the much larger (over 100 light-years across) emission nebula IC 1396 which is located about 2,400 light-years away in the northern constellation of Cepheus (named after the King of Aethiopia in Greek mythology). It was given this name as it resembles the head and trunk of an elephant.
The globule is a condensation of dense gas and dust that is being compressed by the intense radiation and stellar winds from the very bright, massive star HD 206267. The compression of the gas in the globule is triggering the formation of stars within it.
The stellar winds from the massive star are also responsible for sculpting and eroding the filaments of the globule. These winds produce a dense circular rim making up the “head” of the globule and a swept-back tail of gas.

What is Nibiru? Quick Look At This Mysterious Planet

What is Nibiru? Quick Look At This Mysterious Planet



(ALTHeadlines) Nibiru is the name given to a mysterious distant planet in our solar system, that has a 3,600 year orbit around our sun. Author Zecheria Sitchin hypothesized the existence of Nibiru after studying translations of ancient Sumerian writings from 6,000 years ago. Sitchin’s theory is that Nibiru once collided with a planet that had previously been on an orbital path between Mars and Jupiter, and that this collision created Earth, the Moon, and the asteroid belt. Also called planet x, this planet could also cause massive issues just from proximity by creating a magnetic polar shift.

Voyager Will Leave Solar System Any Day Now

Voyager Will Leave Solar System Any Day Now



"It could be any day, but it could also be several more years." Ed Stone cannot say when the Voyager-1 spacecraft will leave the Solar System, but he believes the moment is close. The latest data from this extraordinary probe, reported in this week's Science journal, suggests it is surfing right on the very edge of our Sun's domain. The particles streaming away from our star have reduced to a trickle at its present location, 18.5 billion km from Earth. Particles flying towards it from interstellar space, by contrast, have jumped markedly in the past year.









No, This Image Was Not Taken from the Space Station, But it Sure Looks Like It



The Moon sets above the Continental Divide in Colorado from 86,000 feet. Taken June 27, 2013 on a meteorological balloon launched from Boulder, Colorado. Credit and copyright: Patrick Cullis.
I love those images taken from the International Space Station that show the Moon rising or setting above Earth’s limb, and when I first saw this image posted on Universe Today’s Flickr Group page, I thought someone had randomly posted one of those images taken by an astronaut on the ISS. But then I saw it was taken by Patrick Cullis, one of our “regulars” in our featured astrophotography posts.

Astronomical phenomena July 2013



http://lupuvictor.blogspot.com As an important event in this period, Mercury will be at greatest elongation to the delight of amateur astronomers who can photograph the planet easier on July 30, but also the Mars Jupiter conjunction on July 22.
This calendar will be modified with events which will appear in time, such as evolving asteroids or other objects in the sky.
Here's how it looks: 03 july 2013 Venus-Star cluster Beehive: 0.1°N at 17:26. 05 july 2013- Earth at Aphelion . Earth reaches the furthest point to the Sun at 20:59. 07 july 2013 - Moon at the Apogee.
