What Is It?

Here is the description for this image:

DescriptionEnglish: This animated illustration shows one possible scenario for the hot, rocky exoplanet called 55 Cancri e, which is nearly two times as wide as Earth.

New data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope show that the planet has extreme temperature swings from one side to the other– and a possible reason for this might be the presence of lava pools.

This planet is tidally locked to its star, just as our moon is to Earth, which means that one side always sizzles under the heat of its star while the other side remains in the dark.

If the planet were covered in lava, then the hot, sun-facing side of the planet would have liquid lava flows, while the colder, dark side would see solidified lava rock.

The hardened lava would be unable to transport heat across the planet, explaining why Spitzer detected that the cold side of the planet is much colder than the hot side.

Such a lava planet, if it exists, would have dust streaming off of it, as illustrated here.

Radiation and winds from the nearby star would blow off the material.

Scientists say that future observations with NASA’s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope should provide more details about the nature of this exotic world.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado.

Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech.

Flight Of The Navigator

What is it?

The 1986 American science fiction adventure film Flight Of The Navigator.

Flight of the Navigator (1986) – HD Trailer
Flight of the Navigator/Disney Kids – 1986 featurette

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

The year is 1978: 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer), playing in the woods near his home, is knocked unconscious.

He awakens and heads home, only to find strangers living there.

He also finds that the year is 1986, and that he’s been officially missing for eight years.

NASA officials determine that David was abducted by aliens during his blackout, and hope to scan the boy’s brain in order to unlock a few secrets of the universe.

Answering the call of a strange, unseen force, David boards a well-hidden spaceship and takes off, guided by the jocular voice of a computer named MAX (voiced by none other than Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman).

Realizing that he can’t fit in to 1986 so long as he’s a child of the ’70s, David hopes to retrace the steps of his alien abductors and get back to his own time.

Joe Biden & A Military Coup & NASA & A Hand? | The Walking Dead In A Gym

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that President or President-Elect Of The United States Joe Biden was outside during the day in what looked like the yard of The E House lecturing some young men who were trying to sleep in the yard near where the barbeque pit used to be, the young men were trespassing, but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

The next part of the dream involved The United States military wanting to take over the government and run it themselves, a military coup, for at least a year or more to see if they could do a better job of running the country; the dream showed some generals et cetera talking about this.
