• Chinese astronomers may have spotted Pons-Brooks in 1385, and an Italian astronomer may have glimpsed it in 1457.

    Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks has been identified as a comet observed in 1385 and in 1457. The 1385 apparition was very favorable and the comet was recorded by the Chinese in Ming Shilu and was also mentioned in some European sources. Brooks is an intermediate-period comet (orbital period around 71 years) comparable to 1P/Halley that boasts a rich history of cosmic exploration. After other of its sightings , the comet's path was adjusted, and astronomers imagination it would return near the sun on May 27, 1954. Using this prediction, Elizabeth Roemer from Lick Observatory found the comet on June 20, 1953, very close to where it was expected to be. It appeared faint at first but then brightened in July, dimmed again by mid-July, and slowly brightened as it neared its closest approach to the sun.

    By September 15, it reached a moderate brightness but had another sudden increase in brightness by the 28th. Another brightening occurred in December before the comet behaved as anticipated. Its brightest point was in late April, reaching magnitude 6.

    Between 1740 and 2167, the comet's orbit remains quite stable, with minimal influence from planets. Its closest approach to Earth during this time was 0.634 astronomical units (AU) on January 9, 1884, but Earth's gravity didn't significantly affect its path.

    Many appearance in 2024 will probably be a chance to see it. However, otherwise may have another opportunity in the summer of 2095, when 12P/Pons-Brooks will reach its perihelion on August 10.

  • In the past two months:

    • King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.
    • Kate Middleton has had abdominal surgery and not been seen since December.
    • Sarah, Duchess of York was diagnosed with skin cancer.
    • Prince Edward is ‘stepping back’ from Royal Duties.
    • Thomas Kingston, who married into the British Royal Family, died suddenly.
    • Jacob Rothschild died.
    • King of Norway rushed to hospital with infection.
    • Pope Francis rushed to hospital.
    • Queen of Denmark announced shock abdication.

    It can’t just be me who thinks this is a little bit weird, right?

  • As a member of the Rockefeller Commission to investigate the CIA (set up by President Gerald Ford), Ronald Reagan joined in its unanimous recommendation that: "Presidents should refrain from directing the CIA to perform what are essentially internal security tasks. The CIA should resist any efforts, whatever their origin, to involve it again in such improper activities." The Commission, which included CIA collaborators, was only asking the President and the CIA to abide by the National Security Act of 1947. The Act prohibits the CIA from having "police, subpoena, law-enforcement powers, or internal security functions."

    On December 4, 1981, President Reagan signed Executive Order 12333 which, while purportedly in accord with the National Security Act of 1947, allows the CIA to engage tn police functions and domestic covert operations. Aptly described by the New York Times as the "Son of Operation CHAOS" the Executive Order was denounced by former FBI agent, Representative Don Edwards (D.-Ca.): "It still puts the CIA smack into secretly operating within the United States... it permits them to enter into arrangements with state and local police... and Americans overseas are wide open to surveillance, regardless of any connections to foreign governments or criminal activity."

    In addition to this major enhancement of CIA powers, the administration has initiated measures severely restricting news-gathering about government operations. According to the International Press Institute, these restrictions pose a "potentially serious loss of public accountability." More recently, it has been reported that Reagan is set to sign an executive order on the Freedom of Information Act which would all but exempt the CIA from compliance with requests for information. Certainly, these measures undermine U.S. democracy, but the full import of Reagan's CIA actions can perhaps best be understood by looking at recent history.

  • On February 21, 1173, Pope Alexander III officially declared Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, a saint. This event occurred just over two years after Becket's brutal murder in Canterbury Cathedral, which sparked widespread veneration of him as a martyr.

    The canonization of Becket was a significant event in medieval history, as it solidified his status as a religious and political icon. It also helped to mend the strained relationship between the English
    crown and the papacy, which had been exacerbated by the conflict surrounding Becket's life and death. The shocking murder on 29 December 1170 of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury

  • https://www.infowars.com/posts/ukraine-aid-bill-contains-impeachment-time-bomb-if-trump-tries-to-halt-funding-warns-us-senator/
    A $95 billion aid package supporting Ukraine’s war against Russia appears to contain an “impeachment time bomb” that would sabotage Donald Trump’s second presidential term if he tries to stop funding like he did in his first term, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) is warning.
    The senator sounded the alarm on the bill making its way through Congress Monday, warning it dedicates the same dollar amounts to Ukraine that were frozen by Trump during his term, which were then cited by Democrats during one of their impeachment efforts.
    “The false argument put forward by Democrats was/is as follows,” Sen. Vance wrote in a memo to Republican colleagues, “as President Trump had allegedly paused these funds because he wished to see the corrupt nexus between the Biden family and Ukraine investigated, President Trump had abused his power, with the aim of interfering with the U.S. presidential election.”
    “President Trump has said, in regard to the war in Ukraine, ‘We got to get that war settled and I’ll get it settled,'” writes Sen. Vance, adding, “He has stated that he would resolve the war in 24 hours.” “The bill includes $1.6 billion for foreign military financing in Ukraine, and $13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. These funds expire on September 30, 2025-nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump. These are the exact same accounts President Trump was impeached for pausing in December 2019. Every single House Republican voted against this impeachment resolution.”
    “If President Trump were to withdraw from or pause financial support for the war in Ukraine in order to bring the conflict to a peaceful conclusion, ‘over the objections of career experts,’ it would amount to the same fake violation of budget law from the first impeachment, under markedly similar facts and circumstances,” summarizes Sen. Vance.
    Ultimately, “The supplemental represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration,” Sen. Vance writes, adding, “All Republicans should oppose its passage.”
    Democrats’ attempt to preemptively hamstring Trump’s second term shows they are panicked and preparing for the eventuality he wins re-election.

    NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured truly stunning images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, revealing features not seen in 35 years. The spacecraft made two close flybys of Io in December 2023 and February 2024, coming within 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) of the surface. These flybys were the closest any spacecraft has come to Io in more than two decades.

    The images from Juno Cam, the spacecraft's visible-light imager, show Io's surface in incredible detail, including active volcanic plumes, lava flows, and calderas. The plumes, some of which reach heights of hundreds of kilometers, are composed of sulfur dioxide and other gases spewed out by Io's many volcanoes.
