ESA - Gaia Discovers Its First Supernova

Gaia Discovers Its First SuperNova by the European Space Agency (ESA)

Whenever I take a look at these wonders of the Universe, I wonder how anyone can doubt that our biosphere is an entire living entity.

Gaia, is a word for Earth, but it is also an exploratory vessel from the European Space Agency, which goes out to check our Universe, and reports back, images and useful information. Gaia goes so far away, out into the far reaches of Space, that there is no easy way to explain the distance. It is a distance of time, not just space.

We did not begin exploring the wonders of Space in the 1950's, men have been working on solving Universal mysteries for ages. From ESA Science & Technology, here is an image that is ancient, in the book of Man.


There are many different ideas as to our place in the Universe, as to whether we are the only intelligent life, and if we are the first two-leggeds to come to planet Earth. There are many, many discoveries that say no.

It is my opinion, that we are foolishly arrogant when it comes to the Human species, and I think it would behoove us to treat our Universe, Earth, and Fellow travelers well.

Not Just Cool - It's A Gas

Not just cool – it’s a gas by the European Space Agency (ESA)  September 12, 2014.

Scientists are trying out using a new gas technology for steering satellites. There are many positives that are being pointed out, with the new technology, introduced by a new Dutch start-up. 


On Earth, it is now fighting fires without harming the environment – and business insiders say it could be revolutionary. 
"Supported by ESA, a Dutch start-up company is applying this space-age ‘cool-gas generator’ to fighting fires in sensitive locations, like data centres, libraries and petrochemical plants.  "
Using the newly developed "Exxfire" products, are proving to be valuable, ecologically viable and will possibly open up new possibility for those in space, as well as on the ground.






Unlike most of my readers, when I saw this quirky title from the European Space Agency, all I could think of was, The Fifth Dimension, and music from the 1960's.

Yes, I do have some jokes. The seriousness of climate change, the lost of habitat, and species on our Earth is a serious matter. The Industrial Ruling Class (Trudell), have taken it to the next level. Ocean acidification, plastic pollution, oil spills, train wrecks, droughts, and storms are serious. Help me to remember to laugh, and find humor, in even the worst case scenario. ,

Hubble Shows Farthest Lensing Galaxy Yields Clues to Early Universe | NASA

It is safe to state that all of the geological theories we have been taught in Universities, are missing key elements. Look at the micro world of Geology, and then the Universe. Human beings have always had a misguided sense of importance in our place in the biosphere. It is plausible to consider we may actually not be kindred to apes and the like, but more resemble the dreaded and hated cockroach.

The cockroach, seems to have survived insurmountable odds of disasters that have struck down thousands of civilizations on our planet. They are carriers, like humans. They don't get sick. Have you ever seen an ill cockroach? The only roach I have ever seen, that appeared to be under the weather was a cockroach who has been poisoned. They do not go away, except for a short time. Wherever humans are, roaches are. This says a lot about the human species.

Each day, thanks to the endeavors of scientists  and explorers, we are reaching farther into space, and away from Earth. Some are hopeful for a new habitat of a select group of human beings, others with good intentions see the end of this Geological Era coming at us as fast as an errant asteroid. My own theory about what we will find, is laughable to most other scientists, so I will keep that to myself for now, but here is a hint. Everything in nature, works like the human body. 

When a human body suffers trauma, the whole system of the human being goes into heal mode. That system is very complex, but less of a mystery today, because of the continual process of using the scientific method. Two hundred years earlier, physicians thought a fever was the worst thing that could happen to a patient, but today we know that fever is a good thing in most cases. Our anti-bodies are on a search and destroy mission, to destroy what ails us. What makes us so arrogant, that we do not consider that the Universe operates the same way? 

Who is to say that an asteroid is not an anti-body, that a pyro-clastic volcanic explosion, is not part of healing Earth's systems? It may be something to think about. Coming from a cockroach point of view. Who do we think we are, versus the Universe?
