I have a challenge: Come back when you find that Brown Dwarf and check the facts yourself and I do not want to hear that the government has doctored all the world’s telescopes.

Google Sky. That’s an easy one:

Why is there a “blacked out” square?

Ah, but is there a ‘blacked out’ square? As it turns out, no. That one block of data has some apparent issues, since it drops out of the interface of three different online planetarium programs. However, it is possible to directly query the data from the original source, the Space Science Telescope Institute. This is the source used in the video below.

Youtube

Here is a good video on YouTube debunking the ‘censorship’ claim by nutwithatheory titled “The Google Sky Blank Spot — A Complete Guide to the Cover-up & Conspiracy Theory”[1]. The author takes you through step by step, and shows you exactly where to get the ‘missing’ data.

SkyMap.org

An astute reader points out that a fourth online planetarium does not have a blank square in this area, and that is SkyMap. In fact, you can see ‘behind the square’ at this link.

Imperfect Data

In addition to all of the other objections, the idea that the DSS data had to be edited fails on another count. The data are not perfect. This is an implied property where people imply that NASA wouldn’t publish these images with errors in them. The fact of the matter is that the DSS imagery have all kinds of image artifacts.

You’ll all probably think that this is more rubbish, but I listened to the live feeds from Apollo missions as they happened. They ONLY came through my station and there were no other voice circuits. I saw much of the video, live, even before NASA saw the video and all of the Apollo 11 video before NASA saw it. In fact it was broadcast live in Australia before NASA was even given the feed to “manipulate”. I know that because I wired up the NASA desks that did the relay to NASA. I heard the astronauts before NASA. This was never given to the public during the flight unless it was a TV transmission during flight. None the less as part of the NASACOM network, it was on speaker in my station for all to hear 24 hours a day uncensored. My company was not NASA – I was an Australian government employee with no connection to NASA – I have not been paid millions to stay quiet and neither has anyone else. After Apollo, I worked on Missions right up to the first shuttle disaster and we were monitoring the voice conversations between mission control and the shuttle. again, not a single alien contact. It is with regret that I must add my weight to the fact that there is no conspiracy theory at least on space missions between Apollo 11 and the Challenger flight.

As for the Apollo photos – I can’t truely say. They were on film and came back with the capsule. I can however say this. No-one had the ability to digitally manipulate photos back then and many were accidentally taken close to where another photo was and on some missions they were purposely taken and provided a 3D perspective in stereo. The photos were all published at the time and when viewed in 3D give massive panoramas of the moon and thus could never have been taken in a studio. Simply impossible. Thus the trip to the moon is real and irrefutable. Because the concept of 3D is difficult for the average person, it is never mentioned. I have at least 80 high quality 3D images taken on the moon. Apollo 11 even had a 3D close up camera for soil images. If you are talking about recent photos of the other side of the moon and NASA destroying sites with nuclear weapons – a bit far fetched. If there were real alien sites, would we not be rather ill equipped to attack them when they would have to possess massively superior technology? Would we be rather worried about retribution from a superior race? If the sites were abandoned alien bases would we not be scrambling to get back to the moon to get any abandoned technology or knowledge. If I was the US, I would be committing 10% of my tax dollar to doing this and get there at all costs. it is not happening, so it is not true. Space people are out of work everywhere in the US and they would all be needed to build a new ship to visit such a place with people on board. As for those grainy pixellated photos we all saw, Like the “face” on mars and the “canals” on mars, they all look like something else from a different angle. They also were dark images. The same photos shot in daylight would have given a much better idea of what we were looking at. There are formations everywhere on earth that look like something else and our brain goes crazy with the possibilities. Have a looka t the attached photo of my son sitting on a stack of sliced cheese.

There was not a word out of place for the Apollo missions – no mention of little green or grey men, meetings, conference, glimpses….

Astronomers all over the world from ALL countries are searching the skies and thus if it was found that the US, China, Russia or any other country was hiding data about other planets to deceive their people, then anyone with a political agenda would embarrass those countries. In simple terms, the tiny irregularities in orbits of a known planet can simply predict other planets. If they were there, they would stick out like a sore thumb. They would be a streak across a star field in any long exposure by the average backyard astronomer, so nothing this side of Pluto and nothing even near Pluto. If they are further away and essentially so far from the sun that they are “black”, then we can detect them briefly blocking the view of stars as they pass in front. We know of a few small bodies way past Pluto through this method. So no additional planets in close and nothing big out back. Other than that, we simply cannot detect them.

The Perigee of course is the term for being closest to the earth and the syzygy is the term for the alignment of the Sun, the Earth and The Moon (in that order) creating the full moon!

The moon appears about 16% larger but its relative as you don’t have anything to gauge it against.

Just a fun FYI!

The judges will evaluate the Submissions on the following criteria (“Evaluation Criteria”), assigning a maximum of 100 points using their sole and exclusive discretion:
(1) Why the Contestant is the best person to go to space considering the Contestant’s lifetime achievements, aspirations, and/or ability to represent the Space Needle and its heritage and brand (30 points);
(2) Why the Contestant aspires to travel to space (30 points); and
(3) Creative and appropriate uses of the Space Needle image and heritage in the video submission (40 points).

Based upon what was stated, all you have to do is watch the 20 videos posted for judging on Facebook and you will see that several (AT LEAST several) never include some of the REQUIRED information(as listed above). Here are some poitns that must be made about the flawed judging:

RUBRIC 1: In some videos, the person NEVER states their LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS that should get them selected over others. They never state the Space Needle’s HERITAGE or BRAND. Hmmm, could it be they didn’t have a CLUE about what this even means? Obviously, many of the videos DO show and mention the Space Needle, but do NOT mention any slogans about the Space Needle as proof they understand the Heritage associated with and the BRANDING of the Space Needle. Those persons living in or near Seattle were clever to videotape themselves AT the Space Needle. SO, in a nutshell, judges ignored the need to include such information in a video that was included in the final 20.

RUBRIC 2: Obviously, EVERYBODY met this Rubric. Obviously, NOBODY failed to state why they want to go into space.

RUBRIC 3: Again, some of the Final 20 videos never show even ONE picture of the Space Needle when it states the image should be included. Additionally, most of the Final 20 videos completely ignored including anything about the HERITAGE of the Space Needle. As I previously stated, could it be that many of those who submitted a video didn’t have a clue to search out what HERITAGE means in reference to the Space Needle? SO, the judges – again – seemed to ignore these necessary points for this part of the listed requirements.

I repeat that I am excited that a citizen will be able to receive a free sub-orbital flight – a dream of a lifetime. What disturbs me is that many other deserving individuals never received the opportunity to let the world view and vote on their videos that did meet the Rubrics criteria. I have viewed MANY submitted videos that are posted on YouTube and see MANY that should have been selected and see MANY in the Final 20 that should NOT have been included.

Thanks for taking time to read what I hope is a coherent explanation.

But, again, I know how happy those selected feel to still be in the running for the ultimate prize. It’s just too bad that the Space Needle’s judges didn’t seem to follow the rules (judging criteria) even when many people who submitted their videos DID follow the letter of the law with the listed Rubrics. That simply means the world won’t get to vote for many persons who submitted a video that should definitely have made the cut.

A Libration pointis a place in space where the combined gravitational pull of the moon and the Earth balance each other out, allowing a space station to stay in one spot.

NASA has already Identified the EML-2 location as the best spot for such an Outpost.

EML-2 could serve an array of purposes from acting as a waypoint for space missions to planets or an assembly point for space or lunar equipment to hosting a variety of science experiments.

Pretty cool stuff! I hope it becomes a multinational project and the budgets get spread across many countries as I think that will be the biggest barrier to it being completed (remember the Texas Based Super collider?).

THANK FOR WELCOMING ME
And allow me to congratulate you for your present article

IN THE DEPTH OF THE UNKNOWN, THERE ARE NECESSARY CONQUESTS

The well-known NASA scientist and author of popular scientific works, Professor Carl Sagan, together with his wife Linda, among other people, wrote the famous Space Message engraved on Pioneer 10 and meant for possible extraterrestrial civilizations which might be discovered — who knows? — somewhere in our Galaxy. Professor Sagan is a master of the art of using humor, and he is fond of allegories. That is why Lucien Bonnet wrote to him in the form of a parable on April 10, 1978.

Montreal, April 10, 1978

Dear Dr. Sagan:

It sometimes happens that a dream becomes a reality. That’s the case today. Through Mr. Emil P. Ericksen, Economic Officer of the Consulate General of the United States of America in Montreal, I am in communication with the American scientist whose works and research I most admire.

I would like to address a simple message to Professor Carl Sagan and his wife, who feel, as the year 2000 approaches, that the time is ripe to make our presence known by sending signals to other possible intelligent beings in the Universe. The message, which is the result of my patient research, I formulate as follows:

“On the cosmic scale, as on the terrestrial scale, blackness is an integral – sine qua non – part of color and light processes.”

My purpose is to inform you of this particular subject and the reasons that have led me to carry out my research, in the context of the problems of the very small country, whose history is as tortured as its geography, where I was born and grew up: Haiti, whose name means “land of mountains”. This country has been faced for years with the difficulties inherent to any collectivity confronted with a problem of identity. In Canada, where I live and to which I have become acclimatized, this subject still motivates my research, propels my efforts and explains the audacity of my words. In the particular context of a centuries-old conflict, where personal interest and racial origins confront each other, it is essential that we get to the bottom of things. At this point, it would be as well to point out that branch of energy physics, namely optics, where scientific taboos concerning color, darkness and light are furthered and maintained by trade secrets, patents and vested interests. A rational search for original, and even avant-garde, answers on a scientific and intellectual level would seem to be a necessary prerequisite to establishing a balanced situation.

Not being a “scientist”, (because sometimes, facts are so obvious that they “hit you in the eye but, like ostriches, people bury their heads in the sand) but rather, perhaps the most obscure of all obscure researchers of all obscure ages, I amasking a special favor from Professor Sagan. I would like him to agree to examine my modest results and the demonstration there of, backed up by photos and films. Needless to say, they may be freely used for any purposes deemed necessary to the success of my undertaking. On one film, I wanted to assemble in my own way the elements and conditions that I think are indispensable to the analysis and synthesis of colors. I amsubmitting four films called “color separations” and the color proofs to support this finding.

The sentences I quote below are yours. They are taken from an interview that you gave to a French magazine reporter:

“…after Apollo, scientists were discouraged. Do you know why they were disheartened? Because the sky above the Moon is black. That made them depressed. Do you think this is a joke? Not at all. Scientists are more fragile than they look. But the sky above Mars is rose-colored and that gave them hope.”4

4 Delaprée, Catherine “ L’homme clef de Viking: Et maintenant il faut tout revoir…”, (Le Point, August 16, 1976, pp. 48,49) [our translation]

I can see you and Mrs. Sagan smiling, seeming to say, “Roses live the life span of a rose, the space of one morning.”

The solution to the enigma of Space is not a “one-morning” task. Its darkness of an extraordinary depth, always so secretive and so intriguing, bordering on despair and insanity, fear and disgust, hatred and damnation, a consequence of ignorance or indifference, jealously hides incredible resources that would be of benefit to science, perceived only by such advanced, and wise, researchers as Professor Sagan.

With all due respect to the biblical Genesis, which from generation to generation teaches those who wish to hear it their way that “God divided the light from the darkness” (Gen. 1:4), and with all due respect to Sir Isaac Newton, who showed us all the colors of the rainbow with his prism, but who left us in the dark about the greatest unknown of all times, darkness itself, I insist that darkness — “the black rose of space”, arbitrarily denied as a positive value, always perceived negatively, discreet, hardly envious of the light which it absorbs, the better to conserve it — has passed for the absence of light, while in reality it is the extension of light.

Since the beginning of time, a harmonious and complementary state has existed between light and darkness, whose equivalent effects are carefully balanced at the cosmic level, making us think, as sages of all ages have suggested, like Lavoisier, that in this coherent universe, “nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed”.

The question we ask ourselves most often is this: “What would our lives be without light?” All things being equal, and according to the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy, we might ask, “What would life be without darkness?” Whether we say “darkness is an absence of light” or “light is an absence of darkness”, is this not a simple question of semantics?

Reconciling light with darkness is a simple message that any future human or extraterrestrial space traveler should be able to grasp without too much difficulty. In the interests of any advanced civilization, obtaining a workable combination of visible and invisible forms of matter or energy is a chance to surpass ourselves by extending our own limits.

The so-called luminous part of the Universe, be it ever so brilliant, so forceful, that it seems to eclipse all the rest, while left in the shadow of its over whelming radiance, cannot by itself constitute a whole. The latter is left to the perception and investigation of scientists—but again, we must have the courage to get to the bottom of things.

The bottom of things is often veiled by mentalities. Mentalities depend on the human brain. It is interesting to note that the thing we are most proud of, this wonderful human brain — physically, without our realizing it — has always functioned in utter darkness. Man’s skull constitutes, without a doubt, the best model of a dark room which has ever been conceived. On the optical as well as the psychological plane, one can easily imagine what roadblocks are likely to be encountered. When we wish to refer to the superior abilities of man, weuse the term “gray matter”. Gray matter in a dark room, with or without a prism — what a delicate situation! Isn’t it where all the subtlety lies?

From the gray lunar soil of the Moon and in the concerted harmony of constructive forms, visible and invisible, of channeled light energy, the white rose and the black rose of the Cosmos and the possibility of roses in all color shades — enough to make the sky of Mars blush red — represent the true challenge of space and the spaceship in modern times. Inertia, spectral speed, speed equal to or higher than that of light, and the scientifically controlled reversibility of the phenomenon, what a new synthesis, but also what a liberation! To compare is not to prove, but the dark hidden side of the Moon, however mysterious it may be, is not a path of no return.

At the edge of light, there is darkness. At the edge of darkness, we can find light. Reconciling the “Children of Light” (I Thess. 5:5) — of the zenith, the rising sun and the setting sun — with the “Children of Darkness” (I Thess. 5:6) could perhaps one day become a question of scientific mentality.

“And there was evening and there was morning…” (Gen. 1:5).

Could this, Professor, be one of the most harmonious aspects of the vital cycle of space?

Thank you for your attention to my letter.

Yours very truly,

Lucien Bonnet

LETTER TO SENATOR BARACK OBAMA
Montreal, February 20, 2008

SENATOR OBAMA ,

The whole world has its eyes on you, on The United States Of America and its people.

Everyone expects you to be democratically elected and see that something happen in America.

In March 1983, one of humanity’s most famous spokesmen, Pope John Paul II, came to our country – ‘Haîti’ – and loudly proclaimed what each and every one of us had been whispering:

‘Something must change here.’

Today, more than ever, a lot of people of The United States of America stand up, longing for something and working to make something happen.

And, like in March 9, 1983, beloved Haiti, History – (which from then and now on rests in thy hands) – tells thee: “it is now time to let people speak to thee of love!’, let’s say today’: ‘Go thou America ahead and show us thy true countenance in a positive light.’ It is up to everyone to play his or her part in order to let thee regain thy mark of excellence !”

With this letter, I am communicating with You, Senator Obama, and with the whole people of The United States of America.

You offer this country what it takes to be a ‘Wonderfull Land.’ Yes, let us say ‘with a great people living together.’

Go thou, America, go ahead, following in the footsteps of one of thy sons who is now becoming one of thy statesmen.

With this in mind, Mr.Obama, to whom else could I entrust this letter sent to his Holiness Pope John Paul II when he set foot on Haitian soil for the first time, as well as its acknowledgment by the Vatican?

That letter to Pope John Paul II is intended to draw attention to the problem posed by anti-Black discrimination and its negative repercussions on the advancement of scientific progress in the West, and more precisely in the realm of Optics.

In the Western world, according to Newton’s widely accepted theory, white is considered to be the synthesis of all colors. Actually, the opposite is true. White constitutes the analysis or ‘visible’ decoding of light or color, whereas black is its synthesis or ‘invisible’ composition.

In other words, darkness or blackness and, we might add, “Black Holes’”- a scientific misnomer designating invisible stars or ‘Black Suns’ – are a source of energy and light.

That basic raw material of light energy culminates, in its most radiant form, in the neutralization of all the colors of the spectrum in the form of so-called “white light.”

Therefore “absolute blackness”, the absorption of all the colors, is a divisible component of light. Needless to say, Newton’s theory gives only a partial interpretation of the notion of light, by excluding black. Our contribution aims at demonstrating that the black color is not only an integral part of the color process, but its true synthesis. Light is therefore shown to be a divisible whole comprising an intensity or color scale in which black is the invisible or ‘absorbed’ form of the energy in question.

Allow me, Senator Obama, in order to support my statement concerning Black Holes and radiation, to pose a question asked by Hubert Reeves, Doctor of nuclear astrophysics and Scientific Consultant to NASA:

“What would have become of the Sun, if it were plunged into a high temperature radiance like the one that existed at the beginning of the Universe? [our translation]”

“Instead of emitting light, it would absorb it and, in the end, it would be completely reabsorbed into the cosmic fluid.”

The cosmic fluid is what, due to an “optical mistake”, is called “darkness” or the “blackness of space”. We are talking about the electromagnetic flux, that immeasurable ocean in which the planets and stars are bathed, like the sea which links all the continents together. Darkness is thus “The Sea of Space.”

“What would have happened if, instead of an ordinary star like the “White Sun”, a Black Hole or “Black Sun” were injected into that primordial radiation?

“According to Einsteinian Physics, a Black Hole is a place where gravity is so formidably intense that nothing can escape it, not even visible light. Such a hole should suck in and absorb radiation and increase its own mass: E=MC2, always.”

“But after Einstein came Bohr, Heisenberg, and Quantum Physic. From then on, nothing was the same as before.

“The Einsteinian version of the Black Hole is equivalent to a statement that the matter inside the Black Hole is definitely there to stay, in that volume of space. Let us quote Hubert Reeves: “Such an absolute statement is thus contrary to the “Quantum spirit”, affirming that nothing is definitely localized in one place. There is always a probability of escape. If the enclosing wall is too high, a tunnel will be dug; if the prisoners are patient, they will escape. One has only to wait. [our translation]”

“According to that principle, Black Holes “evaporate.” Matter constantly escapes as radiation. Black Holes “shine!” Their surfaces behave like those of any body heated to a certain temperature and that radiation endlessly feeds that marvelous “Cosmic Fluid” which, wrongly and in bad faith, people keep calling “Darkness.”

Nigra sum “sed” formosa.

Yes, but should we not say instead, I am black “and” comely?

Darkness, which is both source and vehicle of light, does not have to defend itself for being the beautiful and infinitely discreet raw material of the Universe. Darkness is the “Mother of the Universe.”

Also, beautiful and discreet art thou, Haiti. Discreet, yes, but never outshone! Just like the Black Virgin who inspires and sheds her love on thee from the hilltop and even beyond Cité Soleil (Sun City).

Our purpose was to offer a more constructive approach aiming at correcting the abusive traditional, so-called scientific, theories of Optics. That is why, we wrote to that authentic witness to the signs of this age, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, the prophet of the new era.

Congratulations to You, Sir, and congratulations to the people of The United States Of America, for having made it possible for this day to mark the beginning of a “New Era of Hope !”
