Ghost fish: Sea creature that's almost totally transparent

A diver encounters a ghostly ‘fish’ that’s almost totally transparent in mind-blowing new dive footage. Raniero Borg, who discovered the bizarre creature near Marsalforn, Malta, said he’d never seen anything like it in 40 years of diving. “It looked like a miniature jelly whale or dolphin,” he said. “It had a large mouth and you could see its gut as its body was transparent. It was approx 30cm in length and around 15cm wide. “Its spinal cord and rib-like features showed too. “I was very curious about it. I have never come across anything like this during my 40 years of diving.” In his footage, Mr Borg touches the creature and his hand can clearly be seen through its body. It’s shaped like a fish, with a mouth plainly visible at the front and a tube-like organ observable inside. The 61-year-old diver didn’t know what it was at first. “I thought it was a dolphin or whale foetus,” he said. Now, after consulting contacts at Malta’s International Ocean Institute, he’s disco...

NASA simulation reveals how Earth would look if the oceans drained away

Oceans cover most of the Earth, including its longest mountain range and the ancient bridges that humans crossed to reach other continents. In a recent remake of a 2008 NASA video, planetary scientist James O'Donoghue shows what it would look like if all that water drained away, revealing the hidden three-fifths of Earth's surface. Three fifths of the Earth's surface is under the ocean, and the ocean floor is as rich in detail as the land surface with which we are familiar. This animation simulates a drop in sea level that gradually reveals this detail. As the sea level drops, the continental shelves appear immediately. They are mostly visible by a depth of 140 meters, except for the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where the shelves are deeper. The mid-ocean ridges start to appear at a depth of 2000 to 3000 meters. By 6000 meters, most of the ocean is drained except for the deep ocean trenches, the deepest of which is the Marianas Trench at a depth of 10,911 me...

Crazy! Thousands of Birds invade Texas shopping centre parking lot

Flocks consisting of thousands of grackles invaded a Houston City shopping centre parking lot in Texas. Footage of the incident features thousands of grackles taking over a Kroger grocery store parking area, while also resting on power lines and cars. “This is just crazy. Look at these birds, they're like everywhere,” says Tracy Miller - “Just thousands and thousands and thousands…” They were everywhere: rooftops, cars, on the ground, in the trees. The sky was abuzz with them all, and they were so loud!" Miller told Storyful.

Mysterious silk structure in the Amazon known as a "silkhenge" captured in new 4K video

Try and crack the mystery of Silkhenge and WHY it has this incredible structure around it. These strange and tiny structures, each small enough to fit on a fingertip, have captivated and perplexed scientists since the first one was discovered in 2013 in Peru, near the Tambopata Research Center. A tapering central cone ringed by delicate silk pillars reminiscent of Stonehenge led to the name. A new 4K video filmed by entomologist Phil Torres and Ryan Lagod during a recent visit to ‘Silkhenge Island’ in Peru revealed that these strange structures serve as protective fences around spider egg sacs, but the species of spider behind the structures has yet to be identified.

Did NASA know back in 1958 our Sun and not CO2 was causing climate change?

It was the year 1958, to be precise, when NASA first observed that changes in the solar orbit of the earth, along with alterations to the earth’s axial tilt. Major earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floods, cyclones and natural disasters, all mirror that graph (See graph inside article thebigwobble) and they all spike after Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 1957, you would come to the conclusion our Sun is causing climate change/disaster change and not humans. In the year 2000, NASA did publish information on its Earth Observatory website about the Milankovitch Climate Theory, revealing that the planet is, in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that have absolutely nothing to do with human activity.

Microsoft's GitHub is going to store Open Source Code in a 250 meters deep Arctic Cave

The GitHub Arctic Code Vault is a data repository preserved in the Arctic World Archive (AWA), a very-long-term archival facility 250 meters deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain. The archive is located in a decommissioned coal mine in the Svalbard archipelago, closer to the North Pole than the Arctic Circle. GitHub will capture a snapshot of every active public repository on 02/02/2020 and preserve that data in the Arctic Code Vault. Servers and flash drives aren’t durable enough for this purpose, so the data is encoded on what look like old-school movie reels, each weighing a few pounds and stored in a white plastic container about the size of a pizza box. It’s basically microfilm. With the help of a magnifying (quartz) glass, you—or, say, a band of End Times survivors—can see the data. What could be the reason for the sudden rush?

NASA Research Scientist claims Dinosaurs lived on the other side of the Galaxy

NASA research scientist Dr. Jessie Christiansen claims that dinosaurs lived on the other side of the Galaxy. Christiansen mentioned that our solar system had been across the galaxy when dinosaurs roamed. She realized that all the time scales fitted together. That's when she had the idea to map out the evolution of dinosaurs through the rotation of the galaxy. Last time the solar system was at its current position in the galaxy, the Triassic Period was in full swing and dinosaurs were just beginning to emerge. Many of the most iconic dinosaurs roamed Earth when the planet was in a very different part of the Milky Way. Technically, they were living on the other side of the galaxy! If the dinosaurs lived on the other side of the Galaxy how about the human race, did they also lived on the other side of the Galaxy before they came to Earth?

Venus became uninhabitable due to mysterious climate shift 3 billion years ago?

The planet Venus may have had a perfectly habitable environment for 2 to 3 billion years after the planet formed, suggesting life would have had ample time to emerge there, according to a new study. In 1978, NASA's Pioneer Venus spacecraft found evidence that the planet may have once had shallow oceans on its surface. It's believed that Venus may have been a temperate planet hosting liquid water for 2 to 3 billion years before a massive resurfacing event about 700 million years ago triggered a runaway greenhouse effect, which caused the planet's atmosphere to become incredibly dense and hot.

NASA claims: Climate Change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit

For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let the man-made global warming hoax persist and spread, to the detriment of human freedom. The biggest factor affecting earth’s climate is the SUN. Orbital variations remain the most thoroughly examined mechanism of climatic change on time scales of tens of thousands of years and are by far the clearest case of a direct effect of changing insolation on the lower atmosphere of Earth.

Jungle Lakes Evaporate and Disappear Completely in Mexico

The Metzabok lake, which normally covers 220 acres (89 hectares), dried up completely this month, leaving cracked mud where the translucent waters normally reflect the surrounding jungle and Lacandon Indians travel by canoe. But it is not just Metzabok lake that has suffered. Read full article including video at: https://strangesounds.org/2019/08/mexico-jungle-lakes-disappear-video-picture.html

The Amazon is NOT burning more than usual and doesn't produce 20% of world's oxygen

The increase in fires burning in Brazil set off a storm of international outrage last week. Celebrities, environmentalists, and political leaders blame Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, for destroying the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, which they say is the “lungs of the world.” While the number of fires in 2019 is indeed 80% higher than in 2018, it’s just 7% higher than the average over the last 10 years ago, Nepstad said.
