Uranus’ new moon and suspicion of Planet Y.

Uranus’ new moon and suspicion of Planet Y. 



“James Webb has revealed Uranus’ smallest moon yet, a six-mile-wide world hidden near its inner rings. This discovery pushes the planet’s moon count to 29 and shows how Webb can uncover secrets Voyager 2 never saw. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, M. El Moutamid (SwRI), M. Hedman (University of Idaho)” (ScitechDaily, Uranus Has a Tiny New Moon and It’s Only Six Miles Wide)

JWST found a new moon called S/2025 U 1 near Uranus. Did the Uranus planet capture its tiny, newfound moon after the Voyager 2 flyby in 1986? The width of that moon is about 6 miles. And it is hidden in Uranus' inner rings. 

Researchers noticed the new moon that orbits Uranus. That tiny moon is interesting. Because Earth-based instruments found it. That new Uranus moon is not a very big object.  But it's remarkable, and the interesting thing. But I think that researchers should have found that moon before. So, could that small moon have made a transit movement to orbit the Uranus planet in the near past? That means something pulled that moon out from the Kuiper Belt.

In this hypothesis, that is the new moon for that gas giant. Something in the Kuiper Belt pushed that thing out from its trajectory. That new moon called S/2025 U 1 is the new moon for the Uranus moon family. And that tiny moon, which is only six miles wide, orbits near that planet. The Voyager spacecraft should have found that tiny moon during its flyby in 1986. So that supports the model that Uranus captured that moon after the Voyager flyby.

If it has an albedo comparable to other nearby moons, this object is probably around six miles in diameter, by far the smallest moon in the Uranus system to date.

Hedman (University of Idaho)” (ScitechDaily, Uranus Has a Tiny New Moon and It’s Only Six Miles Wide)




Forget planet X, there might be a planet Y in the Kuiper Belt. 



Above: Why is there no dust on the white snow area on Pluto? That tells us that the white snow area is born recently. Or something pulls particles out from that. 

Some people believe that there is a planet X, or the ninth planet, somewhere, outside Pluto’s orbit. Planet 9 is a very well-known theory. There is a suggestion that Planet 9 is about three to seven times as massive as Earth. And that orbits the sun at the edge of the solar system’s gravitational pool. There can be something smaller, an Earth-size icy world hiding in the Kuiper Belt. Or outside it. Planet Y is not such a well-known theory. Than the Planet 9. 

The white area on Pluto’s surface can be a cryovolcano or a result of the recent cryovolcanism-type seismic effect. That thing can form because of the Charon-moon gravity. But there is another possibility. Something far stronger than the gravity effect can cause tidal waves that activate the cryovolcanism. The thing. What makes that white area interesting is that. There seems to be no dust in that area. That means it formed quite recently. Pluto is far lighter than Earth. And that means Charon’s tidal forces are far stronger on that dwarf planet’s surface than they would be on Earth. 



"Three years after NASA's New Horizons spacecraft gave humankind our first close-up views of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, scientists are still revealing the wonders of these incredible worlds in the outer solar system. Marking the anniversary of New Horizons' historic flight through the Pluto system on July 14, 2015, mission scientists released the highest-resolution color images of Pluto and Charon. These natural-color images result from refined calibration of data gathered by New Horizons' color Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC). (Wikipedia, Charon)

The processing creates images that would approximate the colors that the human eye would perceive, bringing them closer to “true color” than the images released near the encounter. This image was taken on July 14, 2015, from a range of 46,091 miles (74,176 kilometers). This single color MVIC scan includes no data from other New Horizons imagers or instruments added. The striking features on Charon are clearly visible, including the reddish north-polar region known as Mordor Macula." (Wikipedia, Charon)


Pluto has five known moons, and that makes the new Uranus moon very interesting. But could those moons common gravity effect be strong enough? To hover those particles out from Pluto's surface? Charon itself is grey, and it can be covered by cosmic dust. But was that moon once in the middle of the cosmic dust flow? And why do those particles not reach Pluto?

The problem is: why is there no visible cryovolcanism or cyoseismic effect in the images? Which New Horizons tool during its flyby? If that cryovolcanic effect happened only once. That would cause interesting thoughts. 

Researchers are finding tips that the large, maybe, Earth-mass planet can hide in the Kuiper Belt. That planet can be more interesting than Planet 9. Planet Y can give some answers to the Early solar system formation. But researchers need more evidence. To confirm the existence of this icy Earth. Maybe the Vera Rubin Observatory can give an answer for that question.  The researchers can use the accumulation of the dust and gas around hiding objects that could hide at the edge of the solar system. 

The problem is that those objects are very cold. And if they used their internal thermal source, those big planets can turn invisible to the IR sensors. But their gravitational effect can disturb their moons. Big and heavy objects capture smaller objects around them. And maybe the tidal forces can form the cyovolcanism in those small objects. The Kuiper Belt is a very stable environment. If there are big planets, their trajectories can be so far away from the Sun and other planets that they can escape from our solar system.

The aliens are back to the surface.

Rather than random luck, Earth’s environment dictated when complex life could emerge. This new model suggests that other planets may also follow a similar path, making intelligent life far more likely in the universe. Credit: SciTechDaily.com. (ScitechDaily, Are We Alone? Scientists Uncover Evidence That Intelligence May Be Inevitable)

The new models make researchers think that maybe intelligence is inevitable. So that means: if on some planet there are lifeforms. Can exist long time enough, the creatures that live on that planet turn intelligent. But then we face the induction question: how large-scale model that thing can be? Can things like galaxy-scale structures and even the entire universe turn intelligent? 

The intelligence can be the series of the search-and-response circuits. That means it's theoretically possible that things like black holes can turn intelligent. That means the black hole pairs can take the superposition with each other. And those superpositioned and entangled black holes can turn into the quantum neural network. Intelligent black holes, intelligent nebulas, or some other non-organic intelligence can be rather quantum computers than lifeforms as we know lifeforms. 

But the thing is that intelligence doesn't require organic structures. And organic creatures can be intelligent without neurons. Those creatures can formed of proteins that have search-and-response circuits or sense-and-response circuits. In this text, those things mean the same things. 

The search-and-response ability is the thing that the slime mould uses in its nutrient search. The ability means that slime mould can follow chemical traces that its nutrient leaves. And that means search-and-response ability is the collection of sense-and-response abilities. The sense-and-response protein feels the nutrient. And then it starts to follow the trace. And when that trace's signal rises high enough that activates another sense-and-response circuit that starts to produce enzymes.  


So, is intelligence only a series of sense-and-response circuits?

At the intersections of these filaments, the gas within galaxies, which fuels the formation of new stars, is highlighted in red.

The cosmic web looks like slime mould. And it's possible. That it can have the sense-and-response" circuit. 

"A biological model based on slime mold has provided astronomers with new insights into the structure and evolution of the universe. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Slime Mold Algorithms Unlock Secrets of Vast Cosmic Structures)


"Intelligent aliens, if they exist in the galaxy or the Universe, might be detectable from a variety of signals: electromagnetic, from planet modification, or because they're spacefaring. But we haven't found any evidence for an inhabited alien planet so far. It's also possible that aliens have traveled here and are watching us, and are responsible for some UAP/UFO sightings. If so, however, they can't be made of dark matter or dark energy: a fact we can conclude from already-existing observations." (BigThink, Ask Ethan: Could there be dark matter aliens out there?)

There are many interesting theories and models of alien life. So the question "Are we alone"? Is an infinite topic in scientific and philosophical discussions again. The question "Are we alone in the universe" stays until we get an answer. So we are alone until we get a response. That is one thing that we can use as the fundamental determination for the answer. But then we must realize another thing. Even if we get an alien message or even their technology, are we still alone? 

It's possible. That aliens are not interested in talking with us. So they turn their back on us. Another thing is that there is a possibility that aliens have a similar protocol to operate with sub-Kardachev scale civilizations that we use when we meet primitive tribes. But every model that we have is a guess, a hypothesis. 

And then what is alien? Or what is the extraterrestrial intelligence? The alien is an intelligent structure that can interact with its environment and affect it as it will. Another thing is that we can affect our environment, build houses, and make space stations. But we cannot control things like the sun and neutron stars. The another thing is that we have theoretical models how to control those things. 

We have theoretical models of how to control our genomes and how to make some kind of immortality. The last one requires the ability to change the mitochondria and the cell's nucleus genomes. The system removes the damaged genomes and then replaces them with the fresh DNA. That is one view of genetic engineering. 

If we think about things like dark matter aliens we can first say that this kind of model is unbelievable. But then we can compile that thing with the intelligent universe theory. The dark matter can form at least nebula-type structures. That means the dark matter or the universe network can form the search-and-response structures. The model for that thing is the slime mould, a creature that has intelligence without any neurons. That means some proteins might have the sense-and-response and search-and-response ability. 

That means the intelligent alien might be the protein structure that has the search-and-response circuits in their proteins. That kind of alien creatures can turn their bodies into slime-mould-type structures and slip through the smallest holes. So that kind of creature can be like some kind of vampire that can put its body into bites. And then rebuild it again.

Where water disappear from the planet Mars?

Where water disappear from the planet Mars?


Same time we must ask, where the atmosphere of planet Mars is gone? The answer is simple when the planet Mars lost its atmosphere the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun just cut the connections of the water molecules, and that caused that the water was gone. There is water on the planet, in underground storage, and maybe stored in crystals, but are there any lifeforms, and how advanced those lifeforms are been if they ever been existed. 

There are forms on the planet, what looks like cyanobacteria (1), but the question is are they real bacteria, and are those bacteria from the planet Mars and that means that they would be endemic species. Or they can be coming from some asteroids like Ceres or Earth, where the meteorite could fly away from the Earth gravity if some bigger particle would hit to the South- or North pole or the ocean. 

That thing can cause that the bite of ice would travel to planet Mars, and then the bacteria could be from Earth, but the thing, that would need to confirm that kind of thing is the DNA sample. But the problem is that the DNA of those fossils might be destroyed because of the UV-radiation, what comes from the Sun. 

Did somebody make secretive Mars-flight?


But if the bacteria fossils are found only in the small area, that tells that the bacteria is coming from some other planet. And maybe that planet is Earth, but what is the reason, why the bacteria is in one certain place? Is the reason some kind of meteorite, what has been traveled to the planet Mars from the Earth. Or maybe the reason for those bacteria is something, that we cannot even imagine. 

The bacteria ever travel between planets without some force, which pushes it away from another planet's gravity field. And one explanation is connected with the strange "skulls",(2) what are found on that planet. The thing is that could it be possible that somebody attempted to make a manned flight to Mars, and then the mission was failed? 

Maybe the thing, that was destroyed was some kind of test capsule, what might carry chimpanzees or some other test animals, and then the thing would face some kind of technical problems. There is a possibility, that the carbon dioxide pocket under the Martian landscape has erupted because the exhaust gas would release the gas from the pocket. 

Was the nation, what made that mission the Soviet Union? The thing is that the nation lost the race to Moon, and then it made serious plans for Mars flight, but then the explosion of the N-1 rocket(3), what mission was to send the nuclear engine to the orbiter, that the manned module could dock with the reactor, and send to Mars by using NERVA(4)-type solution caused that the program was ended. 

But were the Soviets send the rest vehicle to Mars is a mystery. There are lots of documents about tests, which are made by N-1 and other devices, but there is no single document published about this kind of launch to Mars, where the capsule would attempt to return to Earth. So this kind of thing is pure speculations. And the origin of those strange forms remains a mystery until they would be analyzed in the very sophisticated laboratories.

Cosmic mysteries and discoveries by using the most modern technology

Cosmic mysteries and discoveries by using the most modern technology

This is the writing about one of the biggest mystery of the universe, and that thing is the "big silence". Why does nobody answer to the radio signals, what SETI-program has been sent to the sky? When we are getting new and more powerful tools for discovering mysteries of the universe, we must realize, that in that work the old discoveries are replacing by the new mysteries.

And the thing is that every time, we think that we solve some problem, that problem changes its form. The term dark universe consists the dark matter, but also things that are invisible for us in space. And one of those things is the dark side of the moon.  How our moon can be so different on another side?

That thing is the same way fascinating as the quasars and extreme powerful radio bursts, what are making the universe more interesting than we are ever expected. When we are researching things like Moon, the difference between the side, what is to the Earth, and the side that is away from us is really interesting, because the Moon seems to be the wrong side to Earth.

If the meteors, what are pulled by the Earth to the Moon would come from the space, that will happen to another side of the Moon, but there are not "oceans" or magma plains. That means that the meteors or the forces, what were forming the "oceans" of the Moon would come from the Earth. There are meteorite craters also on the other side of the moon, and the theory is that is the side, what is turned to Earth faced impacts with a large number of small size meteorites, what was melting the basalt? Or was the reason for forming those oceans the ion eruption, what came from the Sun, and turned to the Moon from the Earth magnetic field, where those ions influenced like some ion cannons in the SciFi movies. That thing is a very big mystery but the solution would be that the Moon is turned to another direction. 

But when we are thinking that the things what we cannot observe would be the entirety, what we would call as "dark universe", because we cannot get observations from the objects, what are at the other side of the planets, or too far to see. That thing would be highlighted in the cases, where the people are hunting planets, what might be in the habitable zone.

The thing is that the star candidates, what would maintain the life, which is similar to us would be very bright, as I have written earlier. That means that we cannot get straight observation from those planets, and if the planetary system is inclined in the angle that planets would not travel over the star, that means that there are no changes in brightness of the star.

That means that we cannot get observations from those planets if we would search them. And as I have written before, there is a limited number of high power telescopes on Earth, and any of them cannot observe the single star years waiting that some planet is traveling across the star, and causing the change of brightness. This kind of things is very problematic.

And one thing, what we always forget, when we are thinking about the SETI-program is that even some aliens would have similar chemical structure, what we have, that doesn't mean that those aliens would be like we are or they would act like us. Sometimes we are facing many kinds of theories about why there has not been a single answer to the messages, what we have sent to space.

There is, of course, a possibility, that we have got messages, but we cannot open them. If those messages have made by using the quantum computer, we could not open them, even if we would know, that they are messages. There are also many other theories about the great silence, and one of them is that the Earth would be the cosmic zoo or some kind of experiment, how the species are forming and acting.

And that might feel a very uncomfortable thing. SETI program is the most fascinating and dangerous program in human history. The truth is that even if we would find alien civilization, we might not know, how to communicate with it. The messages what those aliens would make would have created by some other system than our binary numbers. In our computers has two sets in the binary numbers. The one and zero, and the last one means that there is no electricity in the wire.

But maybe those aliens would have computers, what has three or more rooms in the processors, and that means that those hypothetical processors would register many other voltages in the wires than the human-made microprocessors have. Maybe those microprocessors have nanotechnological sub-processors inside them, and those nano-processors would act like sub computers.

The problem with SETI-program is to recognize the synthetic messages, what might be done by using a different kind of technology or systems what we use.  And that means that we could not open the messages even we have recognized them. There are many mysteries in space, and one of the greatest is the "big silence". Why we haven't found other civilizations? Would we be so boring species, that nobody wants to make contact with us? Or is the numeric or coding system of the humanoids so different, that we cannot open those messages.
