It would seem that a strange hobby is to travel to the poles of our planet. However, for the Swedish entrepreneur Frederik Paulsen, this has become a real passion. He spent thirteen years to visit all eight poles of the Earth, becoming the first and so far the only person to do so.
Achieving each of them is a real adventure!
Geographic South Pole - a point located above the geographic axis of rotation of the Earth
The geographic South Pole is marked by a small sign on a pole driven into the ice, which is moved annually to compensate for the movement of the ice sheet. During the solemn event, which takes place on January 1, a new sign of the South Pole, made by polar explorers last year, is installed, and the old one is placed at the station. The sign contains the inscription "Geographic south pole", NSF, date and latitude of installation. The sign, erected in 2006, was engraved with the date when Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott reached the Pole, and small quotes from these polar explorers. The flag of the United States is placed next to it.
Close to the geographic South Pole is the so-called ceremonial South Pole - a special area set aside for photography by the Amundsen-Scott station. It is a mirrored metal sphere, standing on a stand, surrounded on all sides by the flags of the countries of the Antarctic Treaty.
June 1903. Roald Amundsen (left, wearing a hat) makes an expedition on a small sailboat
Gyoa to find the Northwest Passage and pinpoint the exact location of the north magnetic pole along the way.
It was first opened in 1831. In 1904, when scientists took measurements a second time, it was found that the pole had moved 31 miles. The compass needle points to the magnetic pole, not the geographic one. The study showed that over the past thousand years, the magnetic pole has moved over considerable distances in the direction from Canada to Siberia, but sometimes in other directions.
The geographic coordinates of the North Pole are 90°00′00″ north latitude. The pole has no longitude, since it is the point of intersection of all meridians. The North Pole also does not belong to any time zone. The polar day, like the polar night, here lasts for about half a year. The depth of the ocean at the North Pole is 4,261 meters (according to measurements by the Mir deep-sea submersible in 2007). The average temperature at the North Pole in winter is about −40 °C, in summer it is mostly around 0 °C.
This is the north pole of the dipole moment of the Earth's geomagnetic field. Now it is located at the point 78° 30′ N, 69° W, near Tul (Greenland). The earth is a giant magnet, like a bar magnet. The geomagnetic North and South Poles are the ends of this magnet. The north geomagnetic pole is located in the Canadian Arctic and continues to move in a northwesterly direction.
The North Pole of Inaccessibility is the northernmost point in the Arctic Ocean and the farthest from the earth on all sides
The North Pole of Inaccessibility is located in the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean at the greatest distance from any land. The distance to the North Geographic Pole is 661 km, to Cape Barrow in Alaska - 1453 km and at an equal distance of 1094 km from the nearest islands - Ellesmere and Franz Josef Land. The first attempt to reach the point was made by Sir Hubert Wilkins by plane in 1927. In 1941, the first expedition to the Pole of Inaccessibility was carried out by plane under the leadership of Ivan Ivanovich Cherevichny. The Soviet expedition landed 350 km north of Wilkins, thereby being the first to directly visit the north pole of inaccessibility.
The south magnetic pole is the point on the earth's surface where the earth's magnetic field is directed upward.
People first visited the South Magnetic Pole on January 16, 1909 (British Antarctic Expedition, Douglas Mawson located the pole).
At the magnetic pole itself, the inclination of the magnetic needle, that is, the angle between the freely rotating needle and the earth's surface, is 90º. From a physical point of view, the South magnetic pole of the Earth is actually the north pole of the magnet, which is our planet. The north pole of a magnet is the pole from which the magnetic field lines emerge. But to avoid confusion, this pole is called the south pole, since it is close to the South Pole of the Earth. The magnetic pole is moving several kilometers a year.
At the South geomagnetic pole, which was first reached by a sledge-tractor train of the Second Soviet Antarctic Expedition led by A.F. Treshnikov on December 16, 1957, the Vostok research station was established. The South geomagnetic pole turned out to be at an altitude of 3500 m above sea level, at a point 1410 km away from the Mirny station located on the coast. This is one of the harshest places on Earth. Here, the air temperature for more than six months a year is below -60 ° C. In August 1960, an air temperature of 88.3 ° C was recorded at the South Geomagnetic Pole, and in July 1984 a new record low temperature was 89.2 ° C.
The South Pole of Inaccessibility is the point in Antarctica, the furthest from the coast of the Southern Ocean.
This is the point in Antarctica, the most distant from the coast of the Southern Ocean. There is no general opinion about the specific coordinates of this place. The problem is how to understand the word "coast". Either draw a coastline along the border of land and water, or along the border of the ocean and ice shelves of Antarctica. Difficulties in determining the boundaries of land, the movement of ice shelves, the constant flow of new data and possible topographical errors, all this makes it difficult to accurately determine the coordinates of the pole. The Pole of Inaccessibility is often associated with the Soviet Antarctic station of the same name, located at 82°06′ S. sh. 54°58′ E e. This point is located at a distance of 878 km from the south pole and 3718 m above sea level. Currently, the building is still located in this place, a statue of Lenin is installed on it, looking at Moscow. The place is protected as historical. Inside the building is a visitor's book, which can be signed by a person who has reached the station. By 2007, the station was covered with snow, and only the statue of Lenin on the roof of the building is still visible. You can see it for miles.
5.5.2. Information for thought. View of the Earth's poles from space
This section will provide information that can be perceived ambiguously, but, nevertheless, it is so curious in itself that it would be wrong not to indicate it. Below I will touch upon the issue of observations from space of the North and South Poles of the Earth. They also show a number of interesting analogies, and I would like to make some comparison of the data.
The most objective study of the polar zones would be a purposeful and systematic study of the field structure of the Earth and other planets from space. Repeatedly duplicated shooting is needed in different radiations, from different points, at different positions in the orbits not only of the Earth, but also of other planets (to take into account their influence). It is necessary to systematize photographic documents and make them available to a wide range of researchers in various specialties. If this is done, then there are no systematic publications. Those materials that appear in print, on NASA sites and some others, are scattered, sometimes edited and retouched, and sometimes they are completely fake. Commentaries on them, from a scientific point of view, are often unsatisfactory or non-existent.
Let's analyze from the standpoint of the proposed hypothesis a few images of our planet obtained from space. Basically, information leaks into publications that are not very respected in scientific officialdom, but still, still .. If you put everything together and try to compare, you get very interesting generalizations. Excerpts with photographs from such publications (and comments to them) are presented below. But all of them are popular and look like possible overblown journalistic sensations. Science, on the other hand, has filled its mouth with water and remains silent (in any case, as regards the poles of the Earth and the Moon).
4 , 5 , 6 - stills from the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KlezOMGBV0
On the photo 1 a little north of Greenland we see a "black hole" or a black "patch". The image clearly captures the outlines of the continents, inland seas, Greenland, the Scandinavian Peninsula, a chain of islands. On the photo 2 the same area is shown, also from a satellite. The difference is obvious, however, the Arctic Ocean is covered with ice. Here, as they say, comments are unnecessary. Finally, in the photo 3 we see just a huge and very impressive hole.
Regarding the last photo, http://mrpumlin.livejournal.com/69636.html says the following:
In 1968, the American meteorological satellite Essa-7 transmitted strange pictures of the North Pole to Earth. With the complete absence of clouds, which is extremely rare in such images, a huge hole is visible in the region of the pole - a hole. The photo is genuine - examinations were carried out repeatedly. Without denying the authenticity, as a counterargument, they argue that, they say, this is the result of the inclination of the planet in relation to the sun's rays, this is not a hole, but a play of light and shadow. In some pictures, they say, there is a hole, but in others it is not.
In the bottom row there are also photographs of the North Pole, but from the video (the link is indicated below the picture) - 4 -Me and 5 -I photographs are exactly the same, but on one there is no “patch”, and on the other there is. On the right, the Earth is turned differently, and the "causal place" is again covered.
The authenticity of all these photographs can be called into question. Moreover, neither the conditions nor the dates of the shooting are specified in them. But ... and yet there is no smoke without fire.
It turns out that there are photographs of the North Pole with reliable links directly to NASA, confirming the presence of if not a hole, then some kind of strange funnel. And since it still seems inexplicable for science, it is practically not discussed. The picture was taken by the American spacecraft ESSA-7. Photo from science.Ksc.nasa.gov (Fig. 5.37).
Rice. 5.37. Photo of the North Pole at different magnifications,
I managed to find another completely independent evidence of the existence of something very strange, very similar to the presence of a hole or a funnel, and precisely at the North Pole. Most importantly, the publication has nothing to do with the discussion of the hollow Earth, the presence or absence of a hole, etc.
In 2007, to study noctilucent clouds, NASA organized a mission called Ice Aeronomy in the Mesosphere, or, as it was called more briefly, Target. Noctilucent clouds occur 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth's surface and can reflect light from the Sun. It was them that the "Target" photographed (Fig. 5.38).
Rice. 5.38. Noctilucent clouds over the North Pole
In addition, a video was compiled from the images obtained by this mission, even indicating the dates of daily shooting in the period from May 20 to September 2, 2007. Several frames from the video are shown in Fig. 5.39.
Rice. 5.39. Frames from the video with silvery clouds,
The most important oddity of this study remained outside the discussions. True, specialists in atmospheric physics and meteorologists dealt with it, but still ... Or again, excuse me, "noodles on the ears", and the "patch" on the pole?
Now let's look at the South Pole from the same positions.
South Pole
The situation is similar with the survey of the South Pole: in some images there is a “hole”, but in most it is not. On fig. 5.40 ( 1 ) is a photograph with a "hole". Shooting conditions are not specified. Right - photograph 2 - without a "hole", but with aurora (shooting.NASA).
Rice. 5.40. Antarctica at the South Pole
Photo 2 and its peculiar interpretation is given in the article by Mark Sokolov “A hole in Antarctica. Are the aurora borealis coming from Earth?” (NLO newspaper, October 2006). The issue is considered from the position of supporters of the hollow Earth. The comments are mainly about the nature of the auroras (the so-called "southern aurora"). M. Sokolov writes:
The authors of the Radarsat website, who offer their analysis of these sensational NASA materials, are asked to take into account that this is by no means the type of hole that, being on a flat horizontal plane, abruptly breaks down. No, in fact, almost the entire area of Antarctica surrounding the hole is a gradually lowering area, as if going down like what we can see in an hourglass. For us, the problem is that we cannot feel the volume of this landscape - after all, we have a flat picture taken from above. Therefore, the hole looks as if it was drilled on a flat surface. In reality, however, this is not entirely true. Or rather, not at all… The images were provided by Jones McNibbly, one of the most vocal proponents of the Hollow Earth idea. As he himself explains, the surveys of Antarctica were made by the IMAGE satellite, whose task is to "deliver" video materials about the planet's magnetosphere. And on his Internet block, McNibbly cites two fragments of these videos. If you look at them more closely, you can see that fog comes out of the hole - on the right side of the dark spot.Exactly fog and allows supporters of the Hollow Earth Hypothesis to consider our planet hollow and claim that it comes from the inner cavity as evidence of its ventilation (!!!).
Photo 2 I supplemented with points 1 - 4, in order to roughly indicate the places mentioned in the article: 1 - South Geographic Pole, 2 - McMurdo station (USA), 3 - Vostok station (Russia), 4 - point of the "hole" (84, 4 degrees south latitude and 39 degrees east longitude), the coordinates of which are given by M. Sokolov. Australia is visible in the left photo at the top left.
By the way, the position of the alleged holes on the left and right photographs does not match in coordinates.
Rice. 5.41. South Pole. stills from the video,
Exactly the same story as with the photographs of the North Pole: somewhere there is a “patch”, somewhere not (the South Pole is marked with a yellow button). In the left photo, we see a clearly defined area against the background of ice. It is also visible in the right frame. This is what in the language of geophysicists is called a depression (lowering of the terrain), and in this case it is very similar to a funnel. And in the two photographs in the middle, even the “patch” is not entirely well placed: the bright spot of the funnel is not completely closed.
Well, the most powerful chord that concludes this topic is the video, three frames from which I have shown in fig. 5.42. This is simply phenomenal, but it is also not discussed anywhere in the scientific world, at least not in the open press.
Rice. 5.42. Survey of the South Pole from the orbital station Mir (1987),
Well, where are you going to go? And "patches - blotches" can not be adapted. Photographed by astronauts from the Mir orbital station, launched in 1986. In the specified video, the hole is called the Portal, but for us it does not matter. The fact is important. True, I must admit that at first I began to doubt the authenticity. We do not fly orbital stations with people in polar orbits. The limit then and now is somewhere around 50º latitude both in the north and in the south. But then I thought that the height of the orbit is 400 km. Therefore, it is quite possible. The Voyager filmed the planet Jupiter almost from the equatorial plane, but the poles, although not very well, but with a certain computer processing can be completely seen (this will be discussed in detail in the chapter on Jupiter).
In some publications on the study of the polar zones of the Earth with the help of spacecraft, the statement is used as a fig leaf to cover secrecy that over the points of the poles, the probes lose their orbits and crash. And so, after several unsuccessful attempts, the orbits of the satellites were shifted in such a way that they did not pass over the very pole - what you see in Fig. 5.43.
Rice. 5.43. Polar orbits of satellites, http://zhitanska.com/sites/default/files/images/stories/ZHVV/Polaya_Zemlya/orbiti_sputnikov.jpg
Satellites crashing over the poles? Quite possible. Remember at least the information about what happened to the planes flying over the pyramids of Giza during the Israeli-Egyptian war in the 50s of the last century. American planes fought on the Israeli side, ours on the Egyptian side. Both of them noted that as soon as the plane was over the pyramids, the instruments failed, orientation was lost, the planes were poorly controlled. By some miracle it was possible to avoid collisions in the air. Since then, flights over the pyramids have been banned in Egypt. There is similar evidence of aircraft flying over the pyramids of China.
But these are only pyramids with their energy pillars above the tops. And at the poles there are Hyperboloid funnels with incredible power of cosmic and terrestrial energy vortices!
SUMMARY
I will not make any generalizations and repeat individual points. You have already read all of this. The main thing in this chapter, as in the whole book, is the idea of the Field Hyperboloid. I was struck by the very simplicity of the thin-planned structure of the Hyperboloid, the controlling and communicative organ of the Essence called PLANET EARTH. And the thought immediately sunk in that such a phenomenon cannot be something exceptional, purely individual, peculiar only to our planet. Still, the Principles of Hermeticism and fractality in the Universe entered the depths of my worldview long before that.
And then information from automatic space probes began to appear. The first photographs of the N Pole of Jupiter taken by Voyager, and animations showing its "strangeness", for me were direct confirmation of the correctness of the idea of the Field Hyperboloid as the heart for another celestial body. Then there was information from Cassini about Saturn ... and so on. Further more. Confirmation of my thoughts poured from American probes, as if from a cornucopia. And I realized that the Field Hyperboloid is a Universal Principle. Why does no one see this but me? The implementation of the Field Hyperboloid Principle on the scale of the Solar System became clear to me, but I wanted to convey this idea to people. So the idea was born - to write a book with the involvement of actual experimental data in order to explain what science is still at a dead end.
Doesn't it seem very strange to you, dear friends, that we are given much more information about the poles of Jupiter, Saturn, even Uranus and Neptune than about our own?
And another important point: in recent years, great attention has been paid to the study of the poles. The governments of all countries suddenly began to fuss and, as they say, "dig the earth with a horn." It's not just about the abundance of fossils on the shelf of the Arctic Ocean or Antarctica. Oh, not only ... Information about the Earth is extremely closed, and from the Juno, which reached Jupiter in July of this year and revolves around it only in polar orbits, information is already being received. Why did the Americans suddenly become so important and interested in the poles?
Science is interested in the poles!!! What would that mean???
In the next chapter, using the example of the solar system, we will consider scientific data obtained with the help of space probes and telescopes, confirming that the magnetic manifestations in the polar regions of the planets are very similar to what we talked about regarding the Earth. This allows us to assume that The process of Creation occurs according to a single scenario. And, most importantly, this is not just a pattern-template, this is the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF THE UNIVERSE.
The polar explorers have an aphorism: "If you want to quickly and clearly achieve the goal - call Amundsen; if you need to conduct scientific research - look for Scott; but when you don't know what to do, and nothing helps, fall on your knees and pray for Shackleton."
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton(Ernest Henry Shackleton, February 15, 1874, Kilkee House, Kildare, Ireland - January 5, 1922, Grytviken, South Georgia) - Anglo-Irish explorer Antarctica, figure of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Member of four Antarctic expeditions, three of which he commanded.
The first experience of polar research was gained on the Discovery expedition, a participant in the first trip to the South Pole (latitude 82 ° 11’ was reached), after which he was evacuated for health reasons. In 1907, Shackleton led his own Nimrod expedition, during which he reached 88 ° 23 "S, 97 geographical miles (180 km) short of the South Pole. For his achievements, he was knighted by King Edward VII.
After reaching the South Pole by Amundsen (December 14, 1911) and Scott (January 17, 1912), Shackleton stated that the crossing of the entire Antarctic continent remained "the only major goal of Antarctic travel." In 1914, he organized the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition, a grandiose project of crossing the mainland through the South Pole through completely uncharted lands. By the will of fate, this expedition turned into an almost two-year, dramatic battle for survival in the cold and merciless Antarctic, a journey that historians would later call the most outstanding journey of all time: before reaching the shores of Antarctica, the expedition vessel "Endurance" was squeezed by ice in the Sea Weddell and sank. Shackleton managed to save the entire team, while not a single person died, but his heroism and professional qualities were not appreciated in Britain against the backdrop of the First World War. In 1921, he led the Shackleton-Rowett expedition, but before it began work in Antarctica, he died of a heart attack at the age of 47 and was buried on the island of South Georgia.

Shackleton was a versatile person, tried to run for the British Parliament, organized commercial enterprises, but was not successful in any of them. After his death, he was forgotten for some time, but in the middle of the twentieth century there was a surge of interest in Shackleton's legacy, first in the US and then in the UK. In 2002, during a national poll of the 100 Greatest Britons, Shackleton was ranked 11th, while Robert Scott was only 54th.
We invite you to see the best photos from space over the past year.
1. Sunset for the shuttle.
Although astronauts and cosmonauts often encounter striking views of the Earth's limb, this rare image is unique in that it also captures the silhouette of the Space Shuttle Endeavor. The photo was taken by a crew member of the International Space Station as the shuttle landed on February 9th. The orange layer shown in the image is the Earth's troposphere, which contains clouds and shapes the planet's weather. This orange layer gives way to a whitish stratosphere, followed by the mosesphere.
2. Whirlwind of the birth of a star
This image taken on October 19 by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the spiral galaxy NGC 3982, located about 68 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. The colors in the photograph have been altered to emphasize hydrogen-rich star birth regions (pink) and young stars (blue). Old stars are concentrated in the white-yellow core of the galaxy.
3. Hot and Fuzzy Sun
Astrophotographer Alan Friedman set up a webcam and telescope in front of a high-end filter to capture this amazing view of the Sun from his backyard in Buffalo, New York. Using a special hydrogen alpha filter, Friedman was able to look at the red part of the light spectrum and film the reaction of hydrogen in the Sun's atmosphere. On October 20, the photo was retouched to give the Sun the orange tint of a Halloween pumpkin.
4. View of the Sun
This image, taken at the California Solar Observatory called Ursa Major, is the clearest view of a sunspot ever taken in visible light, scientists say. The photo was taken on August 24 to celebrate the incredible success in studying sunspots. Scientists call such spots "the gaze of the Sun." This is another reason not to look at a bright star - at the same moment it can stare at you.
5. Martian trees
This photo was taken by a high resolution camera on NASA's Mars Exploration Orbiter on January 14, 2010. Palm trees appear to be growing on the Red Planet. But scientists say these dark trunks are just dirt brought to the surface by landslides, when icy carbon dioxide melts, revealing sand dunes around Mars' north pole.
Story
Unusual images of Mars show the illusion that trees grow on the planet. Clouds of dust naturally erupting near the north pole of the planet create structures that surprisingly resemble trees in shape. "But don't let yourself be fooled - it's just an optical illusion," NASA scientists say.
6. Our house from space
The silhouette of the Earth's horizon is clearly visible in this image against the contrasting darkness of space. The photo was taken on February 9 from the Space Shuttle Endeavor during the approach to the station for docking.
7. Casting a big shadow
A satellite photo shows the long shadow cast by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The picture was taken from a height of 400 miles by the GeoI-1 satellite. The Burj Khalifa building is known as the tallest building in the world. Its height is 2,717 feet (828 m).
8. Hovering in outer space
Astronaut Nicholas Patrick works on the International Space Station's new observation deck, known as the Dome. The picture was taken on February 17 during an astronaut's space walk. Orbital Observation Post Dome is equipped with seven windows, which provides excellent opportunities to see the Earth from space.
9. Night of two moons
The bright surface of Saturn's icy moon Dione is clearly visible against the hazy and ghostly Titan. This photo was taken on April 10 by the Cassini orbiter and released on June 21.
10. Beautiful background
This image clearly shows the underside of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The photo was taken on April 17 from the International Space Station, some time after the shuttle separated from the station. The visible silhouette on Earth is the southern part of Isle de Providence, about 150 miles off the coast of Nicaragua. The island belongs to Colombia.
12. Happy 20th Anniversary, Hubble
In this image from the Hubble Space Telescope, released on April 22, the lens was captured by the chaotic activity of a high column of gas and dust stretching for three light-years. Currently, this glow is absorbed by the bright light of nearby stars. Turbulent space activity is located in the site of active star generation in the Carina Nebula, located at a distance of 7500 years from Earth in the southern part of the Carina constellation. The photo was published in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Hubble launch.
Story
The Hubble team is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the launch of the orbiting observatory with a new image from the space telescope, which shows a column of dust and gas in the Carina Nebula.
12. In the face of disaster
The small aircraft, pictured at the top left of the image, flies over an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico following an explosion on the Horizon transoceanic deepwater drilling platform. This photo was taken from space on April 26 by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird satellite.
13. Swan song in space
The Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station in orbit on May 17. Atlantis undertook a 12-day mission to deliver new Russian-made hardware and replacement batteries. The resignation of the shuttle crew due to retirement is scheduled for 2011.
14. Northern lights in space
This striking dawn phenomenon was captured by the International Space Station during a geomagnetic storm, most likely caused by mass ejections in the Sun's corona on May 24th. The space station was flying over the southern Indian Ocean at that moment.
History: Spectacular aurora phenomena at the Earth's south pole were captured by the International Space Station astronauts' cameras during the last solar storm.
15. Celestial walkers
Skywatcher Michael Jaeger of Stixendorf, Austria, took this picture of Comet McNaught on June 6th while the body was clearly visible in the morning sky.
Story: Comet surprises.
A newly discovered comet is surprising skywatchers by becoming brighter than originally thought and is now visible even to the naked eye.
16. Eyeball of the volcano
Partly cloudy over Papua New Guinea's Manam volcano on June 16, as well as a thin gray-blue volcanic plume over the crater, became the subject of discussion at the summit. The bright white clouds may have been the result of water vapor erupting from a volcano, or they may not have had anything to do with volcanic activity. This image was taken by a camera aboard NASA's Earth-observing satellite known as EO-1.
17 Spill Spread
The Aqua satellite, owned by NASA, took a picture of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on June 26. Cameras on earth-watching satellites captured sunlight reflecting back into space from the surface of the oil slicks.
18. Asteroid close-up
This view of the largest asteroid ever visited by spacecraft was compiled from three different images taken by the European Space Agency's Rosetta probe on July 10 as it flew past Lutetia. The colors are taken from much more distant shots and overlaid by Ted Strick, professor of philosophy at Roana State College. Like most surfaces in the solar system, Lutetia has been weathered for a long time and has a reddish color.
19. Black sun
July 11th. A total solar eclipse appears as a black spot through a haze of clouds in the sky over Easter Island. The totality of the eclipse was visible only over the South Pacific Ocean, as well as on the coasts of Chile and Argentina.
20. Galactic Gem
The Hubble Long-Exposure Space Telescope allows you to view the majestic spiral galaxy deep within the Hair Cluster of galaxies, which extends 320 million light-years from the northern constellation Coma Berenices. The picture was taken on August 10th. Known as NGC 4911, the galaxy contains abundant lanes of dust and gas near its very center. They stand out clearly against the backdrop of glowing clusters of newborn stars and iridescent pink clouds of hydrogen, the existence of which is evidence of ongoing star formation.
21. Ghostly Mystery
This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a ghost-like nebula known as IRAS 05437 +2502. The nebula is a small region of nova formation filled with dark dust that was first seen in infrared images taken by the IRAS satellite in 1983. The new images show a lot of new details, but they still don't shed any light on the reasons for the glow of bright, sharp arcs.
22. Shadows of the rings
An image released Aug. 27 by Cassini's orbiting photography team shows the subtle shadows of Saturn's rings projected onto clouds above the planet's surface. The photo was taken as Saturn was approaching its equinox in August 2009.
23. Dance of the galaxies
NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are two similarly sized spiral galaxies engaged in a dramatic dance. There is still no complete certainty that the interaction will end with a collision and final merger of two galaxies, although they have already managed to influence each other. The pair, known as Arp 271, will dance around for tens of millions of years. This image, published August 30, was taken by the New Technology Telescope at the European Southern Observatory La Silla in Chile.
24. Spiral in space
An image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, released to the public on September 7th, shows an unusual spiral nebula around the star LL Pegasi, located 3,000 light-years from Earth. According to astronomers, the spiral shape was the result of an eruption of substances from one of the stars of the bi-solar system.
25. X-shaped spot
This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released Oct. 13, shows what appears to be a bizarre X-shaped comet leaving a trail of glowing material. According to scientists, the cross may indicate the place where the body collided with the asteroid. An object 400 feet wide is thought to be a fragment of some larger body colliding at about 11,000 miles per hour with a rock about 10 to 15 feet in cross section. The force of impact was equal in strength to the explosion of a small atomic bomb. UCLA astronomer David Jewitt believes the collision happened in February or March.
26. Options for landing.
SpaceShip 2, owned by Virgin Galactic, docked with USS White Knight 2 for landing at the US Spaceport runway near Las Cruces during a special ceremony on October 22. It is planned that in the next couple of years, SpaceShip-2 will begin to take on board paying passengers for excursions in near open space.
History: Spaceport takes a step towards opening commercial space flights. British tycoon Richard Brenon has dreamed of going to space since he was a teenager. Now he will be able to fulfill his desire as soon as Virgin Galactic begins to accept tourists for suborbital flights at a specially designed spaceport in New Mexico.
27 Station on the moon?
In this photo, the International Space Station appears to have landed on the Moon, but in reality, the station is just flying over the Moon as it follows its orbit around the Earth. The picture was taken on October 21 in Hungary in the city of Guergufalu, 75 km from Budapest.
28. Night lights.
The island of Sicily and the "boot" of Italy sparkle in this orbital image taken at the International Space Station Dome Observatory on October 28th. The main window of the Dome, located on the roof, has a round shape with a diameter of 80 cm. It is the largest window in space. Six additional windows placed on the sides provide a view in all directions.
29. Space peanut.
NASA's Deep Space probe sent this photo of the dual-nuclear comet Hartley on November 7th. The picture was taken when the probe flew at a distance of 700 km from the peanut-shaped object. The girth of the "neck" or the narrowest point of the core is 2.4 km. Also visible in the picture are jets escaping from the nuclei.
30. Space sea creature
In this image from NASA's wide-field infrared explorer known as Wise, what appears to be a colorful creature is clearly visible in a sea of stars. A photo posted Nov. 17 shows infrared radiation that has been retouched so we can see it with our own eyes. The jellyfish-like object is actually a pair of very closely spaced dying stars (white) surrounded by its own ejecta (green), and we can also see two unusual dust rings (orange) discovered by Wise.
31. The flaming dragon goes into space
This photograph shows the launch of a Space X Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The launch was made to test the Dragon capsule, also owned by the named company, which was specifically designed to supply the International Space Station when NASA withdraws its shuttle and its crew. The dragon, shaped like a round lollipop, successfully landed by parachute in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after completing two orbits.
32. Space ornament
Delicate spheres of gas, photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope, float unperturbed through space. The bubble is a gas that has taken this shape as a result of the action of the blast wave generated by the appearance of a supernova. Dubbed SNR 0509-67.5 (or SNR 0509 for short), the bubble is the visible remnant of a massive star explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy extending about 160,000 light-years from Earth.
Therefore, Google closed it with a screen, and in the old version (more transparent) it was clear that there was no ice in the center. The moon that I saw around May 18 was in a hurry to the South. And among all the tales, there is one that claims that the entrance to the center of the Earth is located at the South Pole, as well as a masking tale about a Nazi base.
In February, Argentina experienced the worst drought in 50 years. The drought killed 300,000 heads of cattle. Farmers lost at least $600 million in the province of Santa Fe alone (this province lies between 28° and 34°).
In late February, strong fires began in southern Australia (30 ° -40 °). It burned throughout March, but the elements managed to be dealt with, although there were separate outbreaks in April.
Meanwhile: fires in Mexico in March; fires in the south of the USA since the beginning of April (in the south of California - since the beginning of May); worst drought in 80 years in Brazil in April; the worst drought in India since mid-April (hundreds of people die from the heat).
And what about our Antarctica?
In January 2009 a high-ranking Russian delegation visited Antarctica (accepted new suns?). The TV footage showed a very bright, high Sun.
From the forum:
Others build all sorts of conspiracy theories, refer to the trips of the establishment and the political beau monde to Antarctica ... (Hee hee).
The dynamics of the heat advance since February is in good agreement with the act of acceptance at the end of January - thermal suns went out to their places of deployment (by the way, in 2010 there were no such cataclysms: all the suns have long been in their places).
Meanwhile, in Antarctica, an ice bridge connecting the Wilkins Ice Shelf (opposite South America) to the mainland broke in early April, and in late April it began to collapse. At the same time, in May, information was announced that there were no signs of warming in Antarctica (the luminaries left and the weather returned to normal).
A new winter has arrived. In Transbaikalia, in the first week of September, 20 cm of snow fell and record colds descended. What's with the suns?
And they go to the base in Antarctica (for prevention and recharging?). Several times already there was such a combination of temperature maps:
On August 14, a thermal spot suddenly appears in Antarctica (above the scale maximum of 10 °), and on the 15th a new thermal sun flares up in the middle of South America, which disappears after a couple of days, leaving only the stationary one in the north of South America. This corresponds to leaving after recharging, but there are also reverse pictures (with arrival), unfortunately, not so clear, since the maps of Antarctica are often either not updated at all, or are given with large white gaps. It is difficult to collect statistics to trace the correlation (the maps are not saved, and there is no way to sit and monitor around the clock).
And, finally, the question arises: "And what recharges the sun"?
From the forum:
A familiar pilot from civil aviation said that at altitudes of 9000 km, increased X-ray radiation. If earlier, when they, in violation of all civil transportation norms, flew to the USA and back to Russia through the North Pole and received 5 REM doses in one flight, now the picture is the same in lower latitudes. This suggests that the "fire" of the cosmos has approached the surface of the Earth. Many types of ailments: rapid fatigue, sudden rise in temperature and its decline, wandering pains in the skeleton, hepatic discharge to the surface of the skin, headaches and sudden increase in pressure, etc. etc.
Keyword pronounced: radiation!
The suns run on the same nuclear fuel that was taken out of Russia (by the way, Ukraine is transferring its uranium stock to us for storage). That's why chemtrails are needed: they really protect the earth from radiation! The concealment of the luminaries and the concealment of cosmic information is only a by-product. Therefore, birds do not fly to the South (usually they are seen flying in cloudy weather), and after radioactive fog they die out en masse (like bees, and frogs, and plankton). Therefore, it is so bad after walking down the street, but for some reason I don’t feel like taking a shower. That is why the Penza inmates hid underground, hoping to escape.
08.10.2009:
As Rospotrebnadzor explained to MK, complaints of poisoning with pine nuts have recently become more frequent. And in various parts of the country - from Moscow to Tyumen. At the same time, all victims have the same symptoms: a pronounced and persistent bitterness in the mouth that does not stop for several days, as well as general weakness and mild nausea.
But the whole second half of the summer the sun stuck out in Siberia!
There is another aspect that can be tied to the suns.
Interesting Google picture (border of Norway and Sweden):
What hides the white circle in the center of Antarctica is understandable.
But what can hide this square?
Here is a picture with a lower resolution (from another program):
What are the red spots?
Similar ones were found in other places, also closed.
But in remote Siberia they were too lazy to close:
Therefore, desert areas are selected. Therefore, it was so hot in the summer in Siberia.
In the development of the version: satellite images.
Fires in the north of Australia (the Indonesian sun touches only the north);
visible smoke from fires.
But the fires in Siberia - the smoke from the fires in the upper part of the picture is not visible, and in the lower part it is not very clear whether it is smoke or already clouds.
Maybe it's not the fires?
Yes, and in Australia there is no smoke from single spots.
Pink snow fell in the Stavropol Territory, yellow in the Crimea. The next day, they said: it's okay, just sand from Africa has skidded, this already happened in 2008 and 2009.
P.S. When the material had already appeared on the network, my old friend told me about two funny cases from her life. She met twice with pilots who carried out regular flights to Antarctica. Distinguished by extreme curiosity, she, almost already in bed, began to get them questions. There was only one scenario: fluffing their tails, they talked about the flight, about the countries under the wing, but as soon as the story reached the details of their arrival in Antarctica, their eyes glazed over, they apologized for having to urgently leave, dressed and disappeared forever.
