suggest that wildfires were a consequence of rapid climate change. Daisy Dobrijevic joined Space.com in February 2022 having previously worked for our sister publication All About Space magazine as a staff writer. NASA. North and South Taurids have slightly different streams in the sky, but both appear to emerge . This has been interpreted as evidence that a strewn field from the Younger Dryas impact event may have affected at least 30% of Earth's radius. I would think so anyway. A cluster of meteors known as the Taurid stream is thought to have burnt a forest in 1908. Nearest moon phase: In 2023, the last quarter moon falls on November 5. I have drawn attention in the book to the fact that the debris stream of the giant comet that caused the cataclysm 12,800 to 11,600 years ago is still in orbit. But evidence from the IMO based on observed and reported rates by amateur astronomers suggested for some years that the South Taurids, rather than reaching a peak in early November (as long believed), has its peak in October instead. The North Taurids stem from a nearby, but slightly different stream. Credit: Western University. However, it is highly, highly, highly likely that both the Taurid and K-T objects originated from the Oort Cloud. Although one of the weaker showers of the year with a rate of 5 meteors per hour in ideal conditions, the Taurids could have an increased amount of fireball activity this year according to the American Meteor Society. An extensive series of articles was published in Mammoth Trumpet, the magazine for Texas A&M University's Center for the Study of the First Americans, featuring conversations with many YDIH proponents and opponents: Please help this article by looking for better, more reliable sources. At the same time, a previously existing temporal difference to the data from the Greenland ice cores was closed."[79]. Theyre active from about October 20 to December 10. In fact, literally, it matters more than anything else. [11] CRG members initially denied tampering with the photos but eventually published a correction in which they admitted to inappropriate image manipulation. [50], There is evidence that the megafaunal extinctions that occurred across northern Eurasia, North America, and South America at the end of the Pleistocene were not synchronous. 2008 and 2015 both produced them. See chart below. He observed the comet for only three days and did not calculate its orbit. When Magicians of the Gods was published in the UK on 10 September, I was mocked in the national media because the book references the serious suggestions of a number of astronomers that our planet is in real and present danger of an encounter with the fragments of a giant comet. Amateur astronomers trust them and rely upon their information. Richard the Taurid meteor stream consists of the remnants of a huge comet that passed through the inner solar system 25,000-30,000 years ago. Viewing conditions for the Taurids are good this year. A critique of the Buchanan paper[63] concluded that these results were an insensitive, low-fidelity population proxy incapable of detecting demographic change. [1][2][3][4] The YDIH posits that fragments of a large (more than 4 kilometers in diameter), disintegrating asteroid or comet struck North America, South America, Europe, and western Asia around 12,850 years ago, coinciding with the beginning of the Younger Dryas cooling event. Earth with its creatures and plants would be a disaster area. [75], Another proposed cause has been volcanic activity.

Astrophotography with a film camera: Is it possible? The paperback, revised and extended, is now out and available in the UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1444779702/theofficialgra0b. While studying the Taurid complex, the researchers found two asteroids that had not been seen before. The asteroid is named 2004 TG10. Join our Space Forums to keep talking space on the latest missions, night sky and more! Theyve been around since at least 1868. [1][20] One of the most widely publicized discoveries (nanodiamonds in Greenland) has never been verified and is disputed. [26][27] An analysis of a similar Younger Dryas boundary layer in Belgium yielded carbon crystalline structures such as nanodiamonds, but the authors concluded that they also did not show unique evidence for a bolide impact. [c][44], Researchers have also criticized the conclusions of various studies for incorrect age-dating of the sediments,[45] contamination by modern carbon, inconsistent hypothesis that made it difficult to predict the type and size of bolide,[46] lack of proper identification of lonsdaleite,[47] confusing an extraterrestrial impact with other causes such as fire,[48] and for inconsistent use of the carbon spherule "proxy". 2P/Encke. Daisy has written numerous articles and guides for notable skywatching events including the Perseid meteor shower, the next solar eclipse and the next lunar eclipse. [16] Another group of scientists reported evidence supporting a modified version of the hypothesisinvolving a fragmented comet or asteroidwas found in lake bed cores dating to 12,900YBP from Lake Cuitzeo in Guanajuato, Mexico. Scientists have discovered a new branch of the Taurids meteor stream that could pose a major risk to Earth, with asteroids up to 1,000 feet wide flying past us every few years. How many astronauts can fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule? Im not sure we need a space nation when we havent even scratched the surface of the huge and heartbreaking problems caused by mindless jingoistic nationalism here on Earth, but their ideas about doing something about potential cosmic impacts definitely resonate:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/10/12/scientists-propose-space-nation-named-asgardia-and-cosmic-shield/, The linked interview was recorded last year, just before the release of the hardback of Magicians of the Gods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWmaiexDRGs. https://t.co/sAQa8A2rnF" / Twitter Graham Hancock @Graham__Hancock The best time to view the Taurid meteor shower both the northern and southern stream is around midnight when the shower's radiant, the Taurus constellation, is high in the sky. More editions of Magicians here: https://grahamhancock.com/magicians/. Powell argues that since then, many independent studies have reproduced that evidence at dozens of YD sites. If you look only at Taurus, you might miss the shooting stars with the most spectacular trails. As Bill Napier described it once to me, Earth's intersection with the Taurids in Late June/July, and again in the fall, is like blindly crossing across a highway at . [107] Also that year, an analysis of nanodiamond evidence failed to uncover lonsdaleite or a spike in nanodiamond concentration at the YDB. Now, Earth is once again moving towards it. This section is by the late, great Don Machholz (1952-2022), who discovered 12 comets . Mandalore: Everything you need to know about the Mandalorian home planet, 5 mysteries we want to see unraveled in Mass Effect 4, Ursa Major Constellation: Everything you need to know about the Great Bear. Heres how it works. Known collectively as the Taurids, these showers light up the skies of both the northern and southern hemispheres as Earth passes through a stream of debris created by the comet.

And again here:http://www.space.com/33576-asteroid-defense.html, Then there is this observation of a recently observed increase of the rate of cratering on the Moon. Graham Hancock on Twitter: "The Taurid Meteor Stream has been a deadly hidden hand at work in human history for more than 12,000 years. The . The Royal Observatory in Scotland estimates that the next peak involving large-sized meteors from the Taurids will begin sometime between the years 2400-3000 AD. The radiant point of the November Taurids is almost directly juxtaposed upon the Pleiades, almost like a "bulls eye," creating the illusion that the Taurid . ", "Nanodiamonds in the Younger Dryas boundary sediment layer", "Younger Dryas Boundary: Extraterrestrial Impact or Not? [12] Subsequent concerns that have been brought up in PubPeer have not yet been addressed by the CRG, including discrepancies between claimed blast wave direction compared to what the images show, unavailability of original image data to independent researchers, lack of supporting evidence for conclusions, inappropriate reliance on young Earth creationist literature, misinformation about the Tunguska explosion, and another uncorrected example of an inappropriately altered image. for Younger Dryas boundary on four continents", "Radiocarbon simulation fails to support the temporal synchroneity requirement of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis", "Wildfire responses to abrupt climate change in North America", "Interpreting palaeofire evidence from fluvial sediments: a case study from Santa Rosa Island, California, with implications for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis", "Accumulation of impact markers in desert wetlands and implications for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis", "Age models and the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis", "Inconsistent impact hypotheses for the Younger Dryas", "Suspect cubic diamond "impact" proxy and a suspect lonsdaleite identification", "Paleoecological changes at Lake Cuitzeo were not consistent with an extraterrestrial impact", "Inconsistent redefining of the carbon spherule "impact" proxy", "Polycrystalline aggregates of diamond with lonsdaleite from Yakutian [Sakhan] placers", "Early Holocene survival of megafauna in South America", "Pleistocene to Holocene extinction dynamics in giant deer and woolly mammoth", "4 Ground Sloths at Home Cryptozoology, Ground Sloths, and Mapinguari National Park", "Colloquium paper: Megafauna biomass tradeoff as a driver of Quaternary and future extinctions", "Pleistocene megafaunal collapse, novel plant communities, and enhanced fire regimes in North America", "Quantifying the extent of North American mammal extinction relative to the pre-anthropogenic baseline", "Nanodiamonds and wildfire evidence in the Usselo horizon postdate the Allerod-Younger Dryas boundary", "Surface vitrification caused by natural fires in Late Pleistocene wetlands of the Atacama Desert", "Paleoindian demography and the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis", "Crude demographic proxy reveals nothing about Paleoindian population", "Human Y chromosome sequences from Q Haplogroup reveal a South American settlement pre-18,000 years ago and a profound genomic impact during the Younger Dryas", "A large impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland", "Massive crater under Greenland's ice points to climate-altering impact in the time of humans", "Giant impact crater in Greenland occurred a few million years after dinosaurs went extinct", "A Late Paleocene age for Greenland's Hiawatha impact structure", "Was the Younger Dryas triggered by a flood? Hancock said the original meteor strike prompted the start of a mini Ice Age and cites an elaborate stone carving found in Turkey as evidence of his controversial theory. Also, watch for fireballs. There were lots of fireball sightings in 2022. These small dust grains are distributed along the parent comet's orbit concentrated close to the comet nucleus with fewer grains farther away from the nucleus. When our planet travels through the Taurid meteor stream, . Most geologists today interpret the Carolina bays as relict geomorphological features that developed via various eolian and lacustrine processes. Setting up shop or housing, so to speak, on the Moon seems best done on the hemisphere least susceptible to meteor strikes. II", California Department of Consumer Affairs, "Evidence from central Mexico supporting the Younger Dryas extraterrestrial impact hypothesis", "Reply to Boslough: Is Greenland Pt anomaly global or local? Graham Has consideration been given to the idea that the intruder was a planet that passed extremely close to Earth but did not actually impact it? [65] The authors of a subsequent paper described three approaches to population dynamics in the Younger Dryas in North America, and concluded that there had been a significant decline and/or reorganisation in human population early in this period. NASA. It included nanodiamonds (including the hexagonal form called lonsdaleite), carbon spherules, and magnetic spherules. It makes an extremely compelling case for the two comet incidents cited above. Several of these fragments were responsible for the first cataclysm of 12,800 years ago, and several more were responsible for the second cataclysm 11,600 years ago. The Taurid meteor shower can be found just above the constellation Taurus (hence the name Taurid) during the months of September, October and November. See what we mean? The American Meteor Society pointed to a seven-year periodicity with Taurid fireballs. Typically, the Taurids produce only a handful of visible meteors per hour. If you've already donated, we apologize for the popup and greatly appreciate your support. [6][7] Members of a group known as the Comet Research Group are the primary advocates for the impact hypothesis. At that time, Encke was approximately 2.3 million miles (3.7 million kilometers) from Messenger and 32.7 million miles (52.6 million kilometers) from the sun. The orbit is stable, and the comet has probably been in the same orbit for thousands of years. Predicted peak: The South Taurids predicted** peak is November 5, 2023, at 0 UTC. This was confirmed by some who worked in shipping, and one member who was an active member in the American navy. She tracked it for 23 days but did not calculate an accurate orbit. The moon is 384,000 kms distant from us, but the Taurid meteor stream is 30 million kilometers wide. [118][119], In 2022, a paper by Younger Dryas impact proponent James L. Powell investigated what he described as the "premature rejection"[8] of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, saying that substantial evidence existed. Then I was still a contributor to a variety of alternate news sites and conspiracy forums, and met a few people with an inside line, government and military. There seems to be a seven-year periodicity with these fireballs. If anything, its a good motivator to shift this exploration stuff into a higher funded gear. Scientists believe this asteroid was once part of a much larger object known as the Encke Complex. Every year the Earth passes the Taurid meteor showers in October and November, but in 2030, Mr Hancock says we will.

The extinctions in South America appear to have occurred at least 400 years after the extinctions in North America. ago Actually the Earth passes closely to the torrid meteor stream about every 3 years however in 2032 it is going to pass directly through it. http://www.space.com/34070-earth-vulnerable-to-major-asteroid-strike.html, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/earth-could-be-at-risk-of-meteor-impacts-and-we-might-wrongly-have-assumed-we-are-in-a-safe-era-a6702501.html, http://www.space.com/33576-asteroid-defense.html, http://www.space.com/34372-new-moon-craters-appearing-faster-than-thought.html, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/10/12/scientists-propose-space-nation-named-asgardia-and-cosmic-shield/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWmaiexDRGs, https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1444779702/theofficialgra0b, Planet Nine Cant Hide Much Longer, Scientists Say, http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/1997Paper.html#ABSTRACT, http://www.swift.ac.uk/gcn/index.php#index, http://users.telenet.be/j.janssens/Spaceweather.html, https://www.heartmath.org/research/global-coherence/gcms-live-data/. The rock, he said, was the result of highly skilled engineering and was twice as old as Stonehenge. 12,900 cal B.P. If you want more advice on how to photograph the Taurids, check out our how to photograph meteors and meteor showers guide and if you need imaging gear, consider our best cameras for astrophotography and best lenses for astrophotography. [80] They proposed that "the entire Great Lakes region (and beyond) was subjected to a particle bombardment and a catastrophic nuclear radiation" They argue that this cataclysm generated a shock wave that gouged out the Carolina Bays and reset the radiocarbon clock. Before joining us, Daisy completed an editorial internship with the BBC Sky at Night Magazine and worked at the National Space Centre in Leicester, U.K., where she enjoyed communicating space science to the public. A further editorial response will follow the resolution of these issues. Photos and video of 2015 Taurid fireballs here. The best time to look for Taurids is after midnight, when Taurus is high in the sky, and when the sky is dark and clear, with no moonlight to mask the fainter meteors. - YouTube Skip navigation Sign in 0:00 / 0:56 Taurid Meteor CAUGHT LIVE during weather report! "It's simply the fact that when a Taurid appears it's usually big and bright." **Predicted peak times and dates for 2023 meteor showers are from the American Meteor Society. You might see a South Taurid meteor anytime from about September 10 to November 20. Having helped the world awaken to the reality of cyclical catastrophes and successfully connecting Graham Hancock & Joe Rogan with Freemason Randall Carlson, he is . [108], In 2017, Comet Research Group scientists reported a Pt anomaly at eleven continental sites dated to the Younger Dryas, which is linked with the Greenland Platinum anomaly. [40] In 2019, Jorgeson and others tested this conclusion with the simulation of radiocarbon ages. [f][135] The week that the podcast was released, the network was reportedly averaging over 120 million downloads a month. [51] The Australian megafaunal extinctions occurred approximately 30,000 years earlier than the hypothetical Younger Dryas event. ], In 2013, scientists reported a hundredfold spike in the concentration of platinum in Greenland ice cores that are dated to 12,890YBP with 5year accuracy. Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right. Radiant: Rises in early evening, highest in . I must admit Im a little ant-zee about getting off or away from falling mountains, comet chunks, and what not. "The Taurids are rich in fireballs, so if you see a Taurid it can be very brilliant and it'll knock your eyes out, but their rates absolutely suck," NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke told Space.com. Author and theorist . They believe it has a number of very large objects, including one that may be 30km wide, and the Earth crosses this stream twice a year. [106], In 2016, a report on further analysis of Younger Dryas boundary sediments at nine sites found no evidence of an extraterrestrial impact at the Younger Dryas boundary. Europe's JUICE mission has to squeeze into a 1-second launch window. One of the authors of this study, Matthew Boyd, This paper's co-authors include Kurt Kjr and Elizabeth Silber. No, because he predicted it would return in 12.12 years. Discover more about Taurid fireball activity since 1962 with this comprehensive review of the Taurids (opens in new tab). Advocates proposed the existence of a Younger Dryas boundary (YDB) layer that can be identified by materials they interpret as evidence of multiplemeteor air burstsand/orimpacts across a large fraction of Earths surface. There is no need for gloom and doom. The next return of Comet Encke will be in October 2023. A direct match is unlikely, because any piece of material ejected from a comet or asteroid perhaps hundreds of years ago has been subjected to solar radiation and planetary perturbations, changing its path around the sun. As the Taurids occur in late October they are sometimes referred to as "Halloween fireballs". [41] They accounted for measurement error, calibration uncertainty, "old wood" effects, and laboratory measurement biases, and compared against the dataset of radiocarbon ages for the Laacher See eruption. Part2. The Nommo spoke of how the galaxies spiral which reminds me of the movement of the snakes up/down the staff. According to NASA (opens in new tab), Orionids for example, typically burn up at altitudes around 58 miles (93 km) whereas Taurids typically make it as far as 42 miles (66 km). 1.68M subscribers The Taurids are a stream of celestial bodies, and they're a bit bigger than we thought they were.

The best time to spot a shooting star is after midnight when there is little moonlight and Taurus . What happens on the moon is therefore an indicator of what can happen here unless we act responsibly, and with foresight, to do something about it:http://www.space.com/34372-new-moon-craters-appearing-faster-than-thought.html, Fortunately some are thinking of doing something about it. 2:07:45 - With discussion having turned back to the topic of global cataclysms, Graham talks about the possible modern day threat of an impact from the Taurid meteor stream. Encke is only 4.8 km in diameter and it doesn't even make Continue Reading 6 5 It is consistent with the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and is the first of its kind in Africa, supplementing evidence for platinum anomalies at more than 25other sites in the world. You don't need any equipment like telescopes or binoculars as the secret is to take in as much sky as possible and allow about 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark. Although Hancock's claims were originally met with derision, new research published in the International Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, from the University of the Aegean, backed the archaeologist's claims this week. Manu Have you read Magicians of the Gods yet? Your submission has been received! Please could you tell us more about Vulcan also and is Vulcan responsible for the elongated orbit and therefore the clashing of the galaxies? [51] Also, it appears that there was a collapse in North American megafaunal population from 14,800 to 13,700BP, well before the date of the hypothetical extraterrestrial impact,[58] possibly from anthropogenic activities, including hunting. . Using the diagram of the nano-diamonds distribution, the water of the Atlantic Ocean would be lifted skyward and dropped on North America, and all oceans would destroy their shoreline civilizations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud. In fact, after reading about it, it seems like this missing planet could account for our clockwork global upheavals, and the presence of global markers like pyramids and the ancient obsession with the stars. How often does the International Space Station have to dodge space debris? Hancock's description of Comet Encke sounds a lot like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9; a fragmented stream of icy rubble which slammed into . Author Graham Hancock thinks a giant meteorite could destroy the human race in less than two decades after a 'highly-evolved' human civilisation was wiped out 13,000 years ago. See here for example: http://www.space.com/34070-earth-vulnerable-to-major-asteroid-strike.html. The military once used ATSO guidance as a means of training toward surviving military confrontations. [69], However, in 2022 the crater was dated to around 58 million years ago, the late Paleocene, using Argonargon dating combined with uraniumlead dating of shocked zircon crystals.[d][70][71]. The next opportunity may be in 2029. Expected meteors at peak, under ideal conditions: Under dark skies with no moon, both the South and North Taurid meteor showers produce about 5 meteors per hour (10 total when they overlap). Encke calculated an orbit for this one, and using some new computing techniques, came up with an orbital solution suggesting the comet takes only 3.3 years to go around the sun once. Graham rightly champions the cause that addressing space weather (and consciousness!) [8], Members of this group have been criticized for promoting pseudoscience, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudohistory, engaging in cherry-picking of data based on confirmation bias, seeking to persuade via the bandwagon fallacy, and even engaging in intentional misrepresentations of archaeological and geological evidence. Retrieved October 5, 2022, from https://blogs.nasa.gov/Watch_the_Skies/tag/taurid-meteor/, Taurid meteor shower 2022: When and where to see it in the UK. The Perseids, on the other hand, zip through the sky at 37 miles (59 km) per second. [57] Additionally, some extant megafaunal species such as bison and brown bear seem to have been little affected by the extinction event, while the environmental devastation caused by a bolide impact would not be expected to discriminate. In the past, the Taurids have already introduced their destructive correction into the development of the civilization of our ancestors. The peak for the South Taurid is Nov. 5 and the peak for North Taurid is Nov. 12, per Earthsky. What happens on the moon is therefore an indicator of what can happen here unless we act responsibly, and with foresight, to do something about it: http://www.space.com/34372-new-moon-craters-appearing-faster-than-thought.html Lonsdaleite occurs naturally in asteroids and cosmic dust and as a result of extraterrestrial impacts on Earth. [67], A 2018 paper reported the discovery of an impact crater under the Hiawatha Glacier in Greenland of unknown age.
