Today's post is for those who enjoy the night sky and love to see wonderful objects in the sky like Comets. This article is from interestingengineering.com and written by Chris Young. Try to see this if possible before Feb 5!
"A green comet called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will make its closest approach to Earth in 50,000 years tomorrow, on February 2. The comet will come within 26.4 million miles of the planet — 110 times the distance to the moon.
The last time it flew by Earth, Neanderthals were still roaming the Earth. Astronomers believe this month's close pass will likely be the last time the comet flies past Earth, as it will soon escape the Sun's orbit.
Here is some information on the comet, including how you can observe it yourself before it leaves our region of space for good.
When was the green comet first observed?
The green comet was discovered on March 2, 2022, by astronomers Frank Masci and Bryce Bolin. They used the Zwicky Transient Facility’s wide-field survey camera at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, to make the discovery. At the time of the detection, the comet flew near Jupiter, roughly 400 million miles (643 million km) from our Sun.
The comet's name, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), reflects the date on which it was discovered and the telescope used to make the discovery.
Why is the comet green?
On January 12, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) reached perihelion, meaning it made its closest approach to the Sun. As it approached the Sun, the space rock heated to the point its ice started sublimating into gas — meaning it suddenly became so hot it skipped the liquid state. This process creates a coma around comets. A coma is essentially a nebulous envelope that surrounds a space rock.
In the case of C/2022 E3 (ZTF), the comet contains diatomic carbon, which absorbs ultraviolet light from the Sun. The resulting reaction emits green light, while the comet's envelope causes the comet's light to glow over a wider area.
Why hasn't the green comet been seen for 50,000 years?
C/2022 E3 (ZTF) has an incredibly long-period orbit, meaning it has been traveling through the solar system's outer reaches for thousands of years.
As Space.com points out, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) appears to have a parabolic orbit, also called an escape orbit. In other words, the green comet is traveling at a high enough speed that, once it makes its way around the Sun, it will likely fly off into deep space. Its speed and trajectory will allow it to escape our Solar System's gravitational pull and never be seen near Earth again.
How can I observe the green comet?
C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is well positioned near the North Star, meaning it will likely be viewable for most of the night for stargazers looking from the northern hemisphere.
The only thing that could, unfortunately, stop you from seeing the comet in the night sky is light pollution. There will also be a full moon on February 5, meaning it's best to look for C/2022 E3 (ZTF) before that point, as the light from the moon could make it harder to spot the comet.
If you do have a dark enough sky, though, the comet should be viewable near the constellation Auriga and the star Polaris, also known as the North Star, as well as Ursa Major, which is also known as the Great Bear.
Depending on conditions, it could be viewable with the naked eye, but it's best to look for C/2022 E3 (ZTF) using a pair of binoculars or a telescope."
So hurry unless you want to way 50,000 years to see this again.

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
"A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role ...
