Bumped for alged, to put his (assumed), and anyone's 'The last frontier' news and facts of interest, such as on the just launched OSIRIS-Rex surveyor.

Here to follow the end of an exciting mission: Cassini begins epic final year at Saturn enjoy the photos and more at NASA-Cassini Happened to be thinking about the space between spaces (something from the last Indiana Jones installment, spoken by the inimitably voice of John Hurt), because 90% of the result records requested were not arriving on my computer... NASA seems to have finally put a hook into how the Northern Light, Aureo Borealis comes to existence, X-points directly connecting Earth's and the Suns magnetic fields: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-21689...book-ticket-just-yet.html (from an RSS news reel, so it can come from anywhere as first to write about it... to my end :). |

Get a revival for this thread because the end is ...NEAR!!!
----------------------------------------Just 5 more orbits for CASSINI probe: https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/grand-fin...ale-orbit-guide/#Orbit_18 Periapse of Aug 14 will be at just 1000 km of Saturn's atmosphere This first dip will be decisive as how the probe reacts. |

Whilst Juno is doing very fine, continuing to sent back amazing science and even more amazing images , we, our solar system, had a rocky visitor from 'outer' space... Bizarre shape of interstellar asteroid
----------------------------------------One commentator "I'm a member of the intergalactic consortium that founded the Open UFO Specifications Society, and it just happens that those are the ideal flying saucer dimensions, as defined by the latest review version of the OUFOSS-1.2." We're not alone, though I think we're alone.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by SekeRob* at Nov 21, 2017 11:59:20 AM] |

Thing that puzzles me the most about Oumuamua is (link to more data: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7006 ):
----------------------------------------1. there's no debris field from passing through the Oort cloud 2. there's no residual trace of water, so it's also 1st object to declassify as a comet & classify as an asteroid 3. it has a rotational speed which neglects gravity by 3/1000...is it that massive, that everything sticks to it by mass? 4. why did it go past Earth on exit vector? Like some scanning machine? 5. why did it come from Vega system, which has been devastated by a large impact & dust corona? 6. why does it go to Lyra constellation, where there are several possible Earth-like planets? Too much questions? & too much coincidences. In my life I've learnt not to trust the coincidences!  But then again,  |
