In winter, Greenland is dark for months and this year the first, brief sunrise was expected on January 13. Instead, the sun rose at 12:56 PM on January 11. The precise reason for this remains unknown. There is no apparent astronomical cause, as the constellations, the moon and the sun appear to be in their usual positions in relation to earth. One possibility is that the horizon has changed due to accelerated ice melt in Greenland. Unlike lower latitudes, Greenland has experienced an unusually warm winter, and the ice pack to the north may have contracted so much that the sun is appearing earlier than usual.

Throughout his long career, Zechariah Sitchin maintained that Nibiru existed, and now a new NASA probe seems about to prove him right. Our sun may have a companion that disturbs comets from the edge of the solar system–a giant planet with up to four times the mass of Jupiter (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show).

A NASA space telescope launched last year may soon detect such a stealth companion to our sun, if it actually exists, in the distant icy realm of the Oort cloud, which surrounds our solar system with billions of icy objects. Most comets that fly into the inner solar system seem to come from this region. read more

Climate change is causing changes in our weather, but that’s nothing compared to what’s happening on the sun. Solar scientists say that the sun’s magnetic field is weakening, and we are going to go into a long period of solar inactivity, but NASA remains worried enough about massive solar flares to begin working on a solar shield that will protect the power grid from dangerous solar explosions. A new NASA project called "Solar Shield" could help keep the lights on. On the NASA website, Tony Phillips quotes NASA researcher Antti Pulkkinen as saying, "Solar Shield is a new and experimental forecasting system for the North American power grid.read more

We need to go see – A researcher is helping to design instruments for a robotic space probe that will go where no other has gone before: The sun (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show) because we need to figure out what’s going on up there.

Astrophysicist William Matthaeus is involved in NASA’s Solar Probe Plus project, which is slated to launch by 2018. The unmanned spacecraft, the size of a small car, will plunge directly into the sun’s atmosphere to help uncover answers to perplexing mysteries about the fiery ball of plasma at the center of our solar system.
