(Oct. 10) -- Like something out of a sci-fi movie , did alien particles find their way inside a space probe that landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth ?
The question was raised last week by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency , or JAXA , according to japamese news agencies. Scientists reportedly found small , odd particles inside Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft , which returned to Earth in June after a seven-year , 3-billion-mile journey that took it to an asteriod and back. Hayabusa left earth in 2003 , destined to become the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid , one of many small , rocky objects found in space generally between the plantes Mars and Jupiter .
The illustration above shows Japan's Hayabusa space probe approaching asteroid Itokawa . After landing on the asteroid , Hayabusa returned to Earth with asteroid dust particles. After a more than two -year voyage , Hayabusa spent 30 minutes on the surface of an asteroid -- dubbed Itokawa -- and collected small samples of asteroid dust.
Recent electron microscope analysis detected some particles that display different characteristics from the dust already picked up by the spacecraft. hayabusa's mission was to get enough asteroid samples to help scientists learn more about the origins of our solar system . NASA researches are helping JAXA in the examination of the spacecraft's power payload.
Whether the asteroid dust contains an unknown extraterrestrial life form may not be known for some time , as the analysis of the material will continue for several months .
"Although we have not yet analyzed the makeup of the particles , I presonally think the particles include sand removed from the asteroid ," said JAXA scientist Toshifumi Mukai .
My spin : We are not along ...there is life out there... tell me what we gonna do when we find them , will they teach us how to save our planet...I sure hope so.
Yes there is life out there. in fact I think Nana is from out there...HI!
ReplyDeleteHiya Cutie...hope you had a nice weekend and it was more fun than work [giggles]
ReplyDeleteHow's is everyone...in good shape and fighting mode...
Hey girl don't you know Nana popped you out her oven..Hahaha
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot about that. I am an alien. That explains a lot. How are you?
ReplyDeleteWe had a nice holiday and are pleasantly tired. Nana was in good fighting form today so I know she feels good.
ReplyDeletewell that's makes two of us and I'm loving every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteDid you lose a post...I have the name of it got it off the side bar.
ReplyDeleteDad was the one that found it missing...he wanted to know how the hell was he suppose to write you without a picture...I looked and told him to write you under the holloween post and that made him happy...the old coot.
Did you have a nice weekend and how is that big brood of kids?
ReplyDeleteAliens are cute.
They have been seeing a lot of UFOs all over the world this week.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so. I wonder what post that could be.
ReplyDeleteJust getting these papers straight so I will look/sound smart when I strut my stuff.
ReplyDeleteI got your notes and I left you some.
I have been losing a few of my longer comments.They disappear or sometimes they print three times.WTF?
ReplyDeleteIf you're wondering about the post at the top of the blog which has nothing in it. That is controlling our little ghosts and bat.
ReplyDeleteThe one write under this one , I put a note there..name:
ReplyDeletecontact table a [width:auto ! important : height ...
I just looked at the sidebar and got the name.
Got your notes tonight. I haven't had much time for the computer this weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh thats what it is. Okay.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a long one to you and it printed twice and I just deleted one that's why I told Dad to put his in two parts and the ones he wrote today, he said he had no trouble..
I just checked the emails and lookes around to see if you had written anything. Wouldn't it be interesting if we all got infected with the asteroid dust off the Japanese spaceprobe and we started growing strange lumps and bumps and scales?
ReplyDeleteStephen King writes about stuff like that. He just wrote a new book. Boy is it thick. I love Stephen King but I don't know if I could take that much of him.
ReplyDeleteThats good to get away from the PC and it means we do have a life.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the video about the man throwing the book at Obama? I think it's on youtube.
I did not see that video. We must have it. I will get it right away
ReplyDeleteI love Stephen King, but if it's that thick, I will wait on the movie.
ReplyDeleteI knew it was a holidy for you and so I didn't send you any emails. YET.
Leon showed up at work today, I was there picking up some papers and he ducked back in his office, shit I didn't want to talk to him.
I just put the video up on the blog.
ReplyDeleteThat naked guy was fat but kind of cute.
Leon is trying to play both sides against the middle. He may just be taking all his files out of the office to set up his new firm.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get a vedio Saturday and A lot of stuff come up for me to read and checked an agreement from youtube, I will just have to wait until I get back.
ReplyDeleteNAN told me if I see videos just tell you the name. She says I can always leave you a note.
Sure, just say the word and I will get the video.
ReplyDeleteAnita thinks if he leave he will go to work as one of the lawyers at the hotel/casino because no one is going to give him references and who going to hire a chauffeur, he's chauffuered Dad for the last 15 or more years.
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling you are sending me an email, no?
ReplyDeleteWhy would a man go to the trouble of becoming a lawyer and then just drive a limo? I don't get it.
ReplyDelete[giggles] What make these fools throw things at our presidents..a book at Obama and a shoe at Bush.
ReplyDeleteWe Americans are a crazy bunch.

ReplyDeleteINCOMING MAIL.
ReplyDeleteroger
ReplyDeleteBoy and you thought he was sharing it with everyone.
ReplyDeleteIs the wild man going to college in Australia ? I bet she's a pretty little girl.
That's Jason right.Is he the middle son?
Boy I think I will have you some hot shit tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHe never tells me to leave Gilly, I even take him with me when I work for him and something is cooking and it ain't my goose. Hahaha
Jason is the youngest and yes she is pretty.
ReplyDeleteJay (he is also called Jay only without the E)called us two days ago because his car broke down in Alberta. God knows what he was doing there. Brian directed him to a dealership there. I don't know what we were supposed to do, the guy was 2500 miles away. We figured out he was making his way home.
Next week is the week and we will still have our yard sale ..just on Friday/Saturday . Next time we will be prepared .
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, there will be a big splat.
ReplyDeleteDad just past , asked if I was talking with you and to tell you he don't remember if he told you Mac was driving him with another driver.
ReplyDeleteOld Fridge Butt is the oldest and he is putting on a few pounds now.
ReplyDeleteThe aliens are watching us to see if we are intelligent enough to make connect with .I beat they gets some good laughs watching us.
ReplyDeleteAre you excited about your trip? It will be a wonderful experience
ReplyDeleteHas Nan gone to check out the hotels and stuff in DC yet?
ReplyDeleteI love the sax...thats how I know there is going to be some shit , because when he wants to calm his nerves he blows it.
ReplyDeleteAll your babies are doing really well.
It's not hard to show them the right way to travel in this hard world , we are the ones to prepare them .
I think that since we have been sending probes deeper and deeper into space we have made the aliens a bit nervous and they are watching to see what we do next. If we intrude into their space they evaporate us into nothing and use our planet for a spa.
ReplyDeleteNAN/James/Lois is leaving Thursday, we will see how many people is going. We have just one bus and 3 drivers because a lot of people say they can't go, they have to work, I understand that. We have about 40/50 going .
ReplyDeleteOh Sweetie I forgot to tell you that they may have the miners out tomorrow or the next day..I am so happy for their families.
ReplyDeleteI know you would want to know .
Yes I heard about the miners and am so relieved for them. Originally they were told that they would be stuck down there till Christmas.They must be ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteGuess what the miners are arguing about, they all wants to be the last one out.
ReplyDeleteHave you got your jiggle dance yet ???
ReplyDeleteI would be stepping on people to get out first.
ReplyDeleteI have terrible claustrophobia. I panic in elevators. What those guys have been through is my worst nightmare.The major had it too. That's why he would not consider being buried. The claustrophobic's Ultra worst nightmare is being buried alive.
During the war when ancient cemetaries were bombed and all the coffins were thrown up out of the ground they noticed a large number of them had scratch marks on the insides of the lids where the people had come to and found themselves buried and tried to claw their way out.
The Jiggle Meister did a dumb thing today. He lifted something heavy in the yard and had an angina attack. He is lucky he didn't have a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteNow that another thing we have in common, I am claustrophobia also and that's why my rooms are so large, and I don't like furniture wrapped around the walls.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock forgets he can't do the things he once did and probaby get mad at himself, tell him for me he has paid his dues and just do the light stuff.
ReplyDelete[giggles] Telling the Rock to slow down is like pulling a gators' tooth.
I bet your sinus problems give you claustrophobia at night when you try to sleep.I have that problem every night when I wake up with a stuffed nose and can't breath through it.
ReplyDeleteBoy you got that right. The guy won't listen to anyone and he has no patience to wait until someone can do it for him.He frightens me because he is so careless with his heart.Your advice about getting him to a condo is good because there will be no more outdoor work. of course that's what he loves to do most.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right and they are a little better today. I have a humidifier throughout the house. It helps some .
ReplyDeleteI want you to get your rest honey. You were dead on your feet when I talked to you last.
ReplyDeleteI am taking it easy and haven't been to the barn today, Lois just wanted be the sign the deposit slip.
ReplyDeleteDad told Sis he talked to you and you told him to see about me because I was exhausted and she read me the riot act and told me to let Lois/NAN handles things and she wasn't telling me again.
I said yes madame {gigglrs]
Shit I don't mess with that little woman...none of us do.
I've put on some weight this summer which is the reverse of what usually happens. I lose weight in summer and gain in winter. I think it was because it was so hot none of us were cooking unless it was on the grill.So we ate out a lot and ate junky things that were quick to prepare.
ReplyDeleteSweetie I will say goodnight and I don't know what time I will be home tomorrow, so look for the MAIL about the same time as usual.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the ball is starting to roll and I want to bounce it a couple of times.
Gil bought me a briefcase.
Goodnite sweetie and pleasent deams and may they all come true and I will catch up with you down by the old Mill-Pond at twilight.
Nite ...HUGS & KISSES...PIC
Kiss the Rock.
I am so glad that Sis kicked your ass. I worry about you. You do an awful lot for one little woman.You can depend on Sis to straighten you all out...HA!
ReplyDeletePS:
ReplyDeleteI bet it all settle on the butt and the Rock likes that.
I cooked a lot on the grill and my babies loved it. They love junk food.
Have a lovely night LUV....PIC
Goodnight Honey and pleasant dreams to you too. I sure hope this trip works out well for everyone. I think it will be an experience you will all remember with pleasure forever and you may help Nanook too.
ReplyDeleteSee you down by that old mill pond.I'll bring my guitar and sing you a song.... God Bless...LUV PIC
PPS :
ReplyDeleteSis says she know I just sleep about 5/6 hours but all this running after I got the ball rolling and Lois/NAN know what to do and go do some cooking .
