Entrevista exclusiva com Giorgio Tsoukalos, de Alienígenas do Passado
Em parceria com a Rede Brasileira de Pesquisas Ufológicas (BURN) e o canal Mistérios Arquivados do YouTube, estamos trazendo uma entrevista exclusiva com escritor, ufólogo e apresentador, Giorgio Tsoukalos.
Ele também editor da revista “Legendary Times”. Esta publicação é conhecida por buscar evidências que apoiem a hipótese dos antigos astronautas, além de outros assuntos relacionados.
?
Há mais de quatorze anos ele dirige o Centro para a Investigação dos Antigos Astronautas (criado por Erich Von Däniken), e é consultor da série Alienígenas do Passado, do History.
Sem mais delongas, fique com a entrevista abaixo:
Saturn in Blue and Gold
Why is Saturn partly blue? The featured picture of Saturn approximates what a human would see if hovering close to the giant ringed world. The image was taken in 2006 March by the robot Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn. Here Saturn's majestic rings appear directly only as a thin vertical line. The rings show their complex structure in the dark shadows they create on the image left. Saturn's fountain moon Enceladus, only about 500 kilometers across, is seen as the bump in the plane of the rings. The northern hemisphere of Saturn can appear partly blue for the same reason that Earth's skies can appear blue -- molecules in the cloudless portions of both planet's atmospheres are better at scattering blue light than red. When looking deep into Saturn's clouds, however, the natural gold hue of Saturn's clouds becomes dominant. It is not known why southern Saturn does not show the same blue hue -- one hypothesis holds that clouds are higher there. It is also not known why Saturn's clouds are colored gold. Next month, Cassini will end its mission with a final dramatic dive into Saturn's atmosphere.

A mound has been discovered in the Amazon! More than two acres wide, and as tall as a five-story building, Montegrande sits amid rice paddies and cow pastures outside the Peruvian city of Jaén. The depth and form of the structure and the lack of any ceramics shows the mound dates from the late pre-ceramic era, some 3,000 years ago.
A mound this large could only have been built by a stable and complex society. Its workers were organized to undertake and complete such a large project, and its food resources were plentiful and controlled enough to feed their workers. In the larger scheme of things, Montegrande is just one more piece of evidence that the ancient Amazon was home to more than simple tribal settlements, moving frequently due to the poor soil, as had long been believed.

On one corner of a magnificent 19th-century mansion in Vienna, Austria, is a rather unusual glass case. Inside is the midsection of an ancient tree. And it is completely covered in nails. Back in medieval Europe, hammering iron nails into living trees, wooden crosses and even rocks was a common practice for luck – similar to throwing coins into fountains today. Some trees became particularly known as “nail trees,” like the spruce in Vienna. It is estimated to be somewhere over 600 years old, and the first nails were hammered in while the tree was still alive before it was felled in 1440.
The idea of iron nails in living trees being lucky fell out of favor sometime in the late 1800s. And many nail trees quietly disappeared. But not Stock Im Eisen, or “staff in iron,” in German. It remains, watching over its corner.
Supersonic Flight Campaign Continues at Kennedy Space Center
A NASA F-18 jet takes off from the agency's Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 23, 2017. The F-18 jets fly at supersonic speeds while agency researchers measure the effects of low-altitude turbulence caused by sonic booms, part of NASA's Sonic Booms in Atmospheric Turbulence, or SonicBAT II Program.

There have been only seven Hawaiian senators.
And one of their seats is the only Senate seat in United States history which has always been held by an ethnic minority!
To clarify: the seat has always been held by someone who would be considered an ethnic minority person in the greater United States.
In Hawaii, the better term would probably be “non-white person.” Hawaii does not have a majority ethnicity/race, although Asian-Americans have a plurality as of 2015.
