New study casts doubt on rise of alien life in our galaxy, alien aviators purportedly ditched their flying saucer seven decades ago, five-year Pentagon UFO study revealed last December, Scientists say space aliens could hack our planet, Space aliens could have died out long ago, scientist says. “The Chinese government has hacked into the viewing system,” said conspiracy theorist Sage Wanderer. The Sunspot Solar Observatory tweeted a link to its statement on Thursday Sept 13, exactly a week after the initial shutdown. NASA announced last year its intention to end the Spitzer mission in early 2020, after searches for private funding sources to continue Spitzer operations turned up empty.

In 1984, NASA selected astronomers to develop plans and build instruments for a standalone mission named the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, or SIRTF. SSO.

The endless news stories about the observatory would be tip-off enough to any per perpetrator. Share on Facebook. An alleged “secret services’ whistleblower told YouTube Ground Zero radio host Clyde Lewis that “Chinese spy actors” hacked the solar observatory to obtain access to top secret US programmes which he claims could be used as a “solar weapons”. mysterious goings-on at a New Mexico solar observatory, explained the situation as a “security issue.”, nearly 80 percent of Americans think that the government is hiding information, Are we truly alone in the cosmos? On Thursday, ground teams will transmit commands for Spitzer to go into safe mode, according to Joseph Hunt, Spitzer’s project manager at JPL. Spitzer’s mission cost around $1.36 billion from the start of full-scale development through the end of the observatory’s operations phase, according to Hertz. So we are well positioned to continue studying the universe in infrared, and the gap of a year or so really is not a concern. “At the time, we extended the Spitzer mission all the way through the launch of James Webb in 2018,” Hertz told reporters last week. Spitzer cost $11 million to operate in fiscal year 2018, a reduction from Spitzer’s $17 million budget in 2014. Spitzer is about one-third as long as the larger Hubble Space Telescope, and one-eleventh the width, allowing it to launch on a Delta 2 rocket instead of the space shuttle, which hauled Hubble into orbit. And was there a government cover-up? After a mysterious ten-day-long closure, Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico is now apparently safe and open for business. “Spitzer has been a pathfinder in allowing us to find out which ones are forming now for future exploration.”. But aliens … well, that might make more sense. Out-of-this-world explanations got lots of traction when New Mexico facility suddenly shut down. Spitzer was expected to beam back science data in its final days. Ghost news: Man left TERRIFIED after re-watching video of him entering... Sushi Fanatic Rethinks Raw Fish After Pulling 5-Foot Tapeworm From Body. Using a voice distorter, he said the solar observatory is part of a linked interntal internet system which includes the mysterious High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) and other ones called “hammer and smack” for energy and electro-magnetism respectively. Related FBI Mysteriously Shuts Down and Evacuates National Solar Observatory, NO ... and YouTube Secureteam10 added his voice into the cacophony and gave his perspective on the real reason for the shutdown.

“In 2016, we looked ahead and saw the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s next great observatory, which is also an infrared observatory… (Pic: GETTY). He wondered if the solar observatory was taking pictures of the Sun and encountered an object or spaceship that the local authorities did not want to be released to the public. Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: @StephenClark1. Other landmark findings by Spitzer include the discovery of a previously unseen ring around Saturn, and the analysis of a cloud of dust blown off Comet Tempel 1 in 2005, when NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft intentionally drove into the comet to shed light on its icy interior. No official explanation was provided for the closure for 11 days which sparked a wave of conspiracy theories, including that it may have had something to do with alien contact.

“Every once in a while, that means that we turn off a mission because the science return is no longer warranting keeping it going in the context of the other missions,” Zurbuchen said last year. He claimed they are “extremely close” to controlling the Sun. “The Spitzer Space Telescope has unveiled the infrared universe,” said Farisa Morales, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. And Sac Peak is only 105 air miles from the tiny town of Corona (northwest of Roswell) where — according to UFO lore — alien aviators purportedly ditched their flying saucer seven decades ago. The Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico was closed by federal agents on September 6. But in America, whenever the facts remain obscure you can always count on fevered imaginations to offer up their own unsteady illumination. Spitzer escaped cancellation in 2014 after project managers found ways to reduce the mission’s operating costs.

It addressed the 'excitement' garnered by the shutdown. The TRAPPIST-1 system holds the record for the most Earth-sized planets around a single star outside our solar system. There was that five-year Pentagon UFO study revealed last December, for instance. NASA is ending observations with Spitzer after a review by senior scientists in 2016 ranked the mission at the bottom of a list of six astrophysics missions reviewed by the independent panel.

HuffingtonPost - September 30, 2018. “There’s no panic,” says observatory director James McAteer, a solar physicist at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Some also believe it is used for mind control and has caused earthquakes and the crash of Space Shuttle Colombia in 2003. “Publish or perish” may be a cliché, but it is nonetheless true. NASA will say goodbye to the Spitzer Space Telescope this week after more than 16 years observing the most distant galaxies ever detected, planets orbiting other stars, and star-forming clouds of dust and gas. If you, as a scientist, keep your work secret, you’ll soon be seeking another line of work. The national facility observes the sun and broadcasts a live feed 24-7. “The James Webb mirror is 50 times larger than the Spitzer’s mirror, so we’ll be able to observe even deeper into the universe,” Hertz said. The national facility observes the sun and broadcasts a live feed 24-7. Write CSS OR LESS and hit save. For the past two weeks, mysterious goings-on at a New Mexico solar observatory have been hot news. But the success of the first space-based infrared observatory — the Infrared Astronomical Satellite — galvanized support for a larger free-flying infrared mission. The Dunn Solar Telescope, pictured here, sits on the grounds of the Sunspot Solar Observatory.
Conspiracy theorists have long claimed that HAARP, which uses some of the world’s most powerful radio transmitters, is used to weaponise and control the weather. Detectors in the near-infrared bands do not need to be chilled to do their work. “So with every WFIRST  image we’ll be doing 100 Hubble Deep fields. The James Webb Space Telescope scheduled to launch in 2021 and the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope planned for launch in 2025 will build upon Spitzer’s mission. Except that there is something to ponder here. 33. “When you analyze through spectroscopy, you can obtain the chemical composition of the dust orbiting another star,” Morales said. Tweet on Twitter. Spitzer launched with a supply of super-cold liquid helium to cool its most sensitive infrared detectors, which were designed to image some of the coldest reaches of the universe. Spitzer, one of NASA’s four Great Observatories, was a workhorse for astrophysicists, yielding new insights into exoplanets and galaxies, while serving as an anchor to the space agency’s fleet of space-based observatories alongside the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chanda X-ray Observatory. He said: “All data will be made public in its unaltered form. Another Solar Observatory shutdown theory suggests the Chinese hacked into the solar observatory to spy on the nearby White Sands missile testing site, which is around 50 miles away. Why do some people think the government is covering up evidence of space aliens? Having outlived its minimum mission lifetime of two-and-a-half years, Spitzer will be put in hibernation Thursday after the telescope returns its final science data Wednesday.

But Spitzer moves around the sun slightly slower than Earth, meaning the spacecraft gets a little farther away each year. For its part, our government does often act covertly. An Astronomy magazine tally has found that more than 100 of Earth’s biggest research telescopes have closed in recent weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After days of rampant speculation, authorities finally fessed up and explained the situation as a “security issue.” They offered scant details but indicated that there had been a threat to people on the peak and that secrecy was necessary. The mission’s last scientific observations were scheduled to be completed Tuesday. Do NOT follow this link or you will be banned from the site. NASA uses the senior review reports to prioritize spending on extended missions, in balance with expenditures to design, develop and build new astrophysics probes and telescopes.
So it’s amazing how data can be studied and how much information that brings us.”. © 2018, ALL content on this site are the property of their respective owners. Now the scare is over, all systems are “go” and the observatory is back in business. But why are the public, and even the media, so often drawn to this explanation for just about anything related to space? A 2012 National Geographic poll found that nearly 80 percent of Americans think that the government is hiding information about the presence of aliens. Ball Aerospace supplied instruments and the telescope structure for Spitzer. The SIRTF mission was the last of NASA’s four original “Great Observatories” to launch, following Hubble, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and Chandra. “It’s not that there’s no science return, but there’s less.”. Why did the fantastic explanations for the hush-up get so much traction? And even beyond that, were we’ve started building the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope , WFIRST, which will be the great observatory to follow Webb. Thomas Zurbuchen, head of NASA’s science division, said last May that NASA followed guidance from the senior review in deciding when to shut down Spitzer. If space aliens are out there, why haven't we found them. A nonstory, in other words. 0.

After all, it happens on TV all the time. Spitzer discovered five of the seven known Earth-sized planets in the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system around a star 40 light-years, or about 235 trillion miles (378 trillion kilometers), from Earth. To add suspicion to intrigue, Sac Peak’s work has been supported by government money, which to some makes it simultaneously suspect and malevolent. “In 2016, we looked ahead and saw the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s next great observatory, which is also an infrared observatory, and the decision was made that the Spitzer mission should end as the James Webb mission was beginning,” said Paul Hertz, director of NASA’s astrophysics division.
