James Webb and Keck-telescopes cooperation uncovered the clouds in Titan's atmosphere.

"Images of Saturn’s moon Titan, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument November 4, 2022. Left: Image using F212N, a 2.12-micron filter sensitive to Titan’s lower atmosphere. The bright spots are prominent clouds in the northern hemisphere. Right: Color composite image using a combination of NIRCam filters: Blue=F140M (1.40 microns), Green=F150W (1.50 microns), Red=F200W (1.99 microns), Brightness=F210M (2.09 microns). "

Titan-moon is quite similar to Ganymede. The largest moon of Jupiter. The question is why does Ganymede not have a dense atmosphere?

Titan is the biggest moon of Saturn. It's the only moon in our solar system that has a dense atmosphere. And that thing makes this moon remarkable. There are clouds in the Titan atmosphere. And that thing means there is also some kind of particles. They are forming clouds in the atmosphere of that very cold. The average temperature on Titan is 93,7K (−179.5 °C). So those clouds can form around the small ice bites.

There is 2.7±0.1% of methane (CH4) in the Titan atmosphere. And that thing can form methane ice in that atmosphere.

There is no oxygen on Titan. And that denies the oxygenizing reactions. So that thing can make Titan a very interesting place. In that chemical environment, things like carbon-based molecules can stay almost forever.

James Webb and other telescopes can uncover new details from that very extraordinary world with hydrocarbon oceans. Titan is a very dry moon, and there is no known water. But the dense atmosphere that is mainly nitrogen makes that moon very interesting.

Because it should be like a freezer where is lots of material from the young solar system. The atmosphere protects those organic compounds from the UV radiation that comes from the Sun. So maybe the origin of life is stored in that icy moon. The nitrogen atmosphere of Titan is unique. The pressure of the atmosphere is 1,42 atm atmosphere.

But the mass of that moon is lower than Ganymede, the largest satellite in the solar system. The surface gravity of Titan is 1.352 m/s2 (0.138 g) (0.835 Moon's) and the surface gravity of Ganymede is 1.428 m/s2 (0.146 g). The question is why Ganymede has no dense atmosphere. Maybe the distance from the Sun explains why Titan has its nitrogen atmosphere and Ganymede has not that thing.

"Evolution of clouds on Titan over 30 hours between November 4 and November 6, 2022, as seen by Webb NIRCam (left) and Keck NIRC-2 (right). Titan’s trailing hemisphere seen here is rotating from left (dawn) to right (evening) as seen from Earth and the Sun. Cloud A appears to be rotating into view while Cloud B appears to be either dissipating or moving behind Titan’s limb (around toward the hemisphere facing away from us)."

"Clouds are not long-lasting on Titan or Earth, so those seen on November 4 may not be the same as those seen on November 6. The NIRCam image used the following filters: Blue=F140M (1.40 microns), Green=F150W (1.50 microns), Red=F200W (1.99 microns), Brightness=F210M (2.09 microns). The Keck NIRC-2 image used: Red=He1b (2.06 microns), Green=Kp (2.12 microns), Blue=H2 1-0 (2.13 microns). Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, W. M. Keck Observatory. A. Pagan (STScI).

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber. That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation. Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body. Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

. The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
