Researchers say freezing moons – dubbed “Winter Wonderlands” – could support life on them due to their vast amounts of water and icy surfaces. This includes Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, that is covered in ice and snow.

But because of its surface, life can be protected from ultraviolet radiation and cosmic rays making it habitable. A spokesperson for Warwick University’s Centre for Exoplanets and Habitability said: “Life could be supported on moons of ice and snow with vast oceans under their frozen surfaces, orbiting Jupiter and Saturn.

It is a stunning, almost ghostly view of Saturn’s moon. NASA has revealed the incredible image, taken by the Cassini probe before it crashed into Saturn’s atmosphere in a ‘death dive’.  Although the probe has now been destroyed, NASA is still regularly releasing images from its mission.

When herpetologist Andrew Snyder’s flashlight landed on something bright blue in the rainforests of Guyana, South America, he stopped and took a closer look. It turned out to be a blue tarantula of the Ischnocolinae subfamily, a species most likely unknown to science.

As parts of Canada are today reported to be colder than the North Pole, and as Minnesota and Mount Washington report record lows of minus 36 degrees centigrade, as the UK suffers under ice, snow and freezing rain we are still assailed from all sides by  the cries of  Anthropogenic or Man made Global Warming.

This puts in context any claims that 20th-century warming is somehow unusual and alarming. It is not – it is business as usual for Earth’s climate.

Discoveries in the ice reveal our planet’s fluctuating, never static, climate history

By Ptolemy2

During WW2 a macabre find was made 16,000 feet up in Indian mountains – a lake full of corpses. Later scientific analysis would date them to the 9th century AD – at the start of the Medieval Warm Period about 1000 years ago. They had been killed by large hail-stones.

As we now sit in one of the coldest “chill waves” in America’s history, with NYC poised to break the record for the coldest New Year’s Eve ever, it’s noteworthy to recall how all the “climate change” experts used to be global warming alarmists.

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a UFO, it’s a virus from outer space.”

My previous article detailed: cooking up fake threats of viruses from outer space. This could be the next “UFO disclosure” coming on the heels of recent Pentagon reports of alien craft in the skies.

In my previous essay, Chance Favors The Prepared Mind, I did not end up with the specific topic I intended when I started.  So, to keep this essay on the straight and narrow I note the destination in the title.  But we begin with the prepared mind referred to by Louis Pasteur.

A blast of Arctic air brought temperatures in the city of International Falls, Minn., down to a new record low of -36 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday morning, beating out a nearly century-old record.

International Falls is known as the “ice box of the nation” because the town experiences a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 100 days throughout a typical year. The previous record cold for the city was -32 degrees in 1924, but now that’s been shattered, the National Weather Service reported.

In 2017, scientists thought they had detected Einstein’s gravitational waves from a new source – the collision of two dead stars, or neutron stars. The first direct detection of these waves was announced in 2016, when the Advanced LIGO laboratories described the warping of space from the merger of two distant black holes. The result was hailed as the starting point for a new branch of astronomy, using gravitational waves to collect data about distant phenomena.

A new technological revolution is taking place and each person on the internet will be affected.

American consumers, particularly parents, should be asking some hard questions about why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) apparently have no interest in improving vaccine safety.
