Auroras and the Magnetosphere of Jupiter

(via APOD; Illustration Credit: JAXA; Inset Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Chandra, Hubble )

Jupiter has auroras. Like near the Earth, the magnetic field of our Solar System’s largest planet compresses when impacted by a gust of charged particles from the Sun. This magnetic compression funnels charged particles towards Jupiter’s poles and down into the atmosphere. There, electrons are temporarily excited or knocked away from atmospheric gases, after which, when de-exciting or recombining with atmospheric ions, auroral light is emitted. The featured illustration portrays the magnificent magnetosphere around Jupiter in action. In the inset image released last month, the Earth-orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory shows unexpectedly powerful X-ray light emitted by Jovian auroras, depicted in false-colored purple. That Chandra inset is superposed over an optical image taken at a different time by the Hubble Space Telescope. This aurora on Jupiter was seen in October 2011, several days after the Sun emitted a powerful Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

This is the best thing I’ve seen today

Ghost Filmed Inside a Home in Indonesia.

While filming themselves goofing around in a house, a group of young friends from Indonesia were unaware that a ghostly presence was nearby. In the video they captured, a strange figure with long hair can be seen standing in a backroom. The camera momentarily pans away, and when the room comes back into view, the figure is gone.

The figure could easily have been a person dressed in a costume. Even though the group supposedly had no idea the figure was even there until they watched back the footage, the person filming seems to make sure that we the viewer can see it.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this footage. Do you think this figure was an actual ghost? Or might this simply be a hoax?

UFO Sighting Antarctica 2012: This particular sighting became renowned after UFO hunters discovered it using Google Earth, what seems to be the landing or crash site of a mysterious craft that appears to be guarded by four snowy shapes, strongly resembling a battery of tanks.

After it was made public on February 15, 2012 by Valentin Degterev, the Google Earth image was deliberately altered in order to mask the ground vehicles and the crashed UFO. Some people who were aware of such a consequence managed to capture a few screen shots along with videos showing  how the spot looked before it got blurred, as well as its coordinates.

If you look at the following coordinates: 166.50.52.31 E / 77.49.47.46 S using Google Earth, the UFO crash site appears, but apparently the craft and the tanks are missing for obvious reasons. After this case caused a stir among UFO enthusiasts, the image was deliberately altered and is now showing only a few hints of what it used to be. Fortunately, a video was released showing the spot with the UFO and its guardians, along with the coordinates which can be seen by hitting the link  ➡   https://youtu.be/Iq7Wf3D1_JY

UFO Sighting over Houston for two hours, changing shape & color before disappearing into the early-morning sky,

The witness submitted this video to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which posted it on its website as Case #65255. It happened about 2:30 a.m. March 30 2015, according to the write-up the witness submitted to MUFON with his video. The witness added “At first I thought it was a star, but then I noticed that it was changing color,

this is apparently an actual photograph from the Dulce base in New Mexico. The base has 7 levels where humans and aliens work on experiments. The last two levels are alien only levels. It’s believed that they will take abductees to this base. Level 7 (aliens only) is nicknamed ‘Nightmare Hall’.
