New Super Earth Like Planet Found Outside Our So­lar Sys­tem

Earth-like planet has been discovered



The headlines are reading "For the first time in history, an Earth-like planet has been discovered orbiting a distant star." It is relatively nearby at 120 trillion miles away. It closely orbits a "red dwarf," and is much smaller, cooler and dimmer than our sun. This one is 5 times the mass of earth hence the name "Super Earth." They say it is orbiting the red dwarf star called Gliese 581.

This is one amazing discovery and a major historical moment in time. Today As­tro­no­mers have re­ported dis­co­v­er­ing the most Earth-like plan­et out­side our So­lar Sys­tem to date. A world that may have liq­uid oceans and life. They say the planet is just the right size, and that it might have water in liquid form.

Oth­er cu­ri­ous fea­tures of the new­found plan­et are that ; and its year is just 13 Earth days long, as it comp­letes one or­bit about its sun in that time.

Scientists have said that due to its great­er width this planet is es­ti­mat­ed to weigh as much as five Earths, and has more than twice Earth’s sur­face ar­ea. They have also said that the grav­i­ty at its sur­face would be around twice as strong as it is on Earth. It could very well host life and several kinds.

The planet was discovered by the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile, which has a special instrument that splits light to find wobbles in different wave lengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.

What they revealed is a planet circling the red dwarf star, Gliese 581. Red dwarfs are low-energy, tiny stars that give off dim red light and last longer than stars like our sun. Until a few years ago, astronomers didn't consider these stars as possible hosts of planets that might sustain life.

They have said that the av­er­age tem­pe­r­a­tures on this “supe­r-Earth” must lie be­tween 0 and 40 de­grees Cel­si­us (32 to 104 de­grees Fahren­heit), and models pre­dict that the plan­et should be ei­ther rock­y—like our Earth—or cov­ered with oceans.

I for one will follow this closely. Some have already said that is could be a pre-release to prepare us here on earth for new amazing things that they (our government) already know about. STAY TUNED!

Albert Einsteins Bee Prediction Comment 2012?

EINSTEIN WARNED OF BEE DEATHS



I just came across a news thread that mentions a Albert Einstein comment.

Albert Einstein warned humankind of two approaching apocalypses: one was nuclear annihilation and the other involved bees. He said:"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left

Wow, I have never read this comment of Albert Einsteins. Add the four years to todays date and we are close to the Mayan date of 2011-2012. This is frightening!

I know there has been several alerts of pending doom and many have prepared only to watch the time pass by without any gloom. The bluff has been called out so many times, but is this the real one we should prepare for?

Lets say 90% of the bees do die. What about the butterfly? What about Hummingbirds? I know they cannot carry the full load to fill in what the bees have done for pollination, but could it carry us until we come up with a solution?

How can I say it is just coincidence? I simply wont because to many prophecies seem to be coming together. The many Apocalyptic predictions along with NASA predictions send chills up my spin. NASA predicts that the sun will reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 reaching the end of an 11-year sunspot cycle. Will this weaken the magnetic field on earth, and allow harmful particles enter earth's atmosphere? Some say yes it is very likely.

Apocalyptic predictions seem to be falling into place so perfectly and I think it is important that non believers consider all the research that went into many of these prophecies to either prove or disprove them. Below is a list of information that I recommend.

• The 1995 book The Mayan Prophecies linked the Maya calendar with long-period sunspot cycles.
• The book 2012:Mayan Year of Destiny claims the Maya may have been instructed in their wisdom by discarnate entities from Orion and the Pleiades. Contact was maintained through shamanic rituals conducted in accordance with the movements of planets and stars.
• The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
• The book The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) which will allow the third anti-christ to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or man caused destruction.
• The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.
• The 2005 book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy by Geoff Stray reviews several theories, prophecies and predictions concerning 2012 and finds where authors have used faulty information or have bent the truth to fit their theories.
• The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a Noosphere. It also discusses many other aspects of the 2012 phenomenon from a neutral perspective.

Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include:

• Terence McKenna's mathematical novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which a great number of things could happen, including "hyperspatial breakthrough", planetesimal impact, alien contact, historical metamorphosis, metamorphosis of natural law, solar explosion, quasar ignition at the galactic core, or nothing. [10]
• The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, speculated that Pope Benedict XVI would reign during the beginning of the tribulation of which Jesus spoke, and sometime later a future pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", the last in this prophetic list, would appear, bringing as a result the destruction of the city of Rome and the Last Judgment.
• Many new age spiritualists and philosophers ("new-agers") believe humankind will enter an age of enlightenment in 2012. There are a range of varying, generally positive, beliefs shared by a subset of spiritualists from the mundane to exceptional -- including a positive social shift and age of peace, mankind becoming psychic and connected by a collective, and/or an evolution of the human race into non-corporeal beings made of "spiritual" energy, or light energy, i.e. 'ascension'.
• Some alien-enthusiasts, along with some new-agers, believe 2012 to correspond approximately with the return of alien "watchers" or "caretakers" who might have helped the first human civilizations with developing their technology and may have been waiting for us to reach a higher level of technological and/or social advancement. Beliefs range from the extra-terrestrials having benevolent purposes -- such as to help human society evolve -- to malevolent purposes -- such as enslavement of mankind and/or manipulation.^{[citation needed]}
• The Nepalese ascetic Ram Bahadur Bomjon, the so-called "Buddha boy", reportedly told his followers that he would return around 2012.
• Some proponents of a peak oil catastrophe place major events in 2012. Richard C. Duncan's book The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge claims that the Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide. Several studies predict a peak in oil production in or around 2012. [11] [12] [13]
• Self-proclaimed time traveler John Titor predicts that a catastrophic event "similar to the parting of the Red Sea" will occur.

If you put these all together how can it be coincidence?

Al Gore Hypocrisy? Propaganda? Conspiracy?

But What About You?



First: Yes, I believe the human race played a role in our Earths health, and I also believe it is just part of our natural cycle. I do not pick sides here because I believe both sides are true.

Some say that Al Gores documentary is just pure propaganda. I personally do not believe that is a propaganda conspiracy. I do believe it is simply "his side of the story." Al Gore has been accused of energy hypocrisy, and maybe he is not as bad as the media makes him out to be. I also think he is 100% committed the the cause, but not 100% prepared for the media hounds. (not yet)...


What have you done to help with cleaning up/preserve our environment?
You might recycle, and you may have bought an electric car. You might be using solar heating along with planting trees. What about taking a step further and start spending even more of your earned income on becoming more active such as in community events and/or work with local scientists to come up with better solutions for your home or community? How about the added expense of using the substitute Green Energy? My point is that its not as easy as some of these finger pointers make it out to be.

How innocent are we? Lets look at wind powered energy. The fact is at the end of 2006, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 74,223 megawatts although it currently produces less than 1% of world-wide electricity use. If we were innocent that percentage would higher. It is basically non-existent!

Most can fib and get away with it. Al Gore simply cannot get away with it due to the fact his public and private life is being reviewed daily by thousands of reporters across the world. So we have to ask ourselves is he a full blown hypocrite? I am not going to be quick and point a finger just yet. Why? because he has done more then I have! I cannot sit here and be a hypocrite myself.

The media reports that Al Gore consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year. Yes, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his estate in 2006, but who is to say that the report is not missing any details to purposely start media fire or cater to a specific agenda.

What some may not be reporting is that he actually pays a bit more because he does subset his energy costs with green power. As of recently he reports that he is going 100% green power by installing solar panels, and using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology. My personal opinion is that this should have been put in place prior to his documentary release to have prevented the whistle blowing event. Some are saying it was due to the availability of the resources.

I will have to agree that his lavish lifestyle does have a much more negative effect on our environment, and I am not denying that. He does use large cars, and he flies frequently. What I am doing is questioning our quickness to point fingers when we ourselves are not doing as much as he is or has been doing.

He asks us to reduce our energy footprints, but there's only a finite amount of alternative energy available to us, and many cannot afford to take a bigger step of installing solar panels or buying an electric car.

I am not a serious Al Gore supporter, but what I am saying is that he has done a hell of a lot more then most people that will read this and at least works with those that are working on solutions. He is an important voice out there while we sit in our homes nice and cool or warm during the cold and hot seasons.

As for Al Gores own personal usage. I only know what I read and what the media reports. What I can consider is that both him and his wife WORK and LIVE inside their large home. This includes added usage from employees and office systems along with daily life usage. If you were running a 4,000 square foot building as a home and with office buildings I am almost certain your usage would be even more then what his is. Media reports that he has and still is putting green energy into action within his home and business. Therefore, he may actually be using LESS energy, cumulatively.

December 21st, 2012 Mayan Calendar

December 21st, 2012



I find the mystery behind the Mayan Calendar fascinating. Some friends of mine had great interest in it so I wanted to find a way to explain it to them as "I" feel it to be...

Here is how it was explained to me:

December 21st, 2012 - Modern astronomy can tell us a lot about the facts of where we will be in space at that time, where our planets will be, etc. The thing is that the ancient Mayans, Sumerians and the Egyptians knew about this long ago, and left their art recordings behind for us.

What do we know about this date? Well, we know that on that date, our the bodies in our solar system will all be in alignment. The Transit of Venus will occur once again due to Venus passing in front of the Sun. Our Sun will also be in the peak of its solar cycle, causing some groups to speculate that the magnetic poles of our Earth and possibly other planets could be shifted or reversed altogether.

Besides all this activity occurring in our Solar System, the solar system itself will be in perfect alignment with the elliptical plane of our Milky Way galaxy. It will be the first time this has occurred in gazillions of years.

Also, the area of space that our solar system will occupy at that time will be in the middle of a strange nebulous cloud that scientists have been studying and tracking for a few years now. We do not have a clear understanding of what the clouds effects could be on our Solar System and the Earth itself.

1) Our sun will be at the peak of a Solar hissy fit.
2) Our planets will be in alignment.
3) Our entire Solar System will be aligned with the elliptical plane of the galaxy.
4) We will be in the middle of a strange nebula.

Take this modern astronomical knowledge, and apply it to the ancient legends of our ancestors. The Mayans refereed to this period as the "Cycle of Civilization." They even accurately predicted these alignments to the date, thousands of years ago. And they chose to end their calender on this date. Not to restart it, but to END it.

No one can know for sure what will happen during the strange times of late 2012, but as the date draws nearer, we are certain to learn more.
