Richat Structure Aka Eye Of The Sahara (40 km in diameter)

Rishat Structure Aka Eye of the Sahara is a geological formation with a circular relief, located in the Sahara Desert (in Mauritania), near the settlement of ouadane. The site topography, located in the middle of barren desert in the form of concentric circles with a diameter of 40-50 km, can be seen even from space. According to the research, the scientists came to the conclusion that the Sahara eye is purely geological origin, although for a long time it was believed (and some think so to this day) that this natural site was formed by a meteorite falling to Earth. For a long time it was believed that its appearance this amazing natural site is obliged fallen hundreds of years ago, a meteorite on the surface of the Earth. However, after a series of studies that theory had to admit unconfirmed, and it was replaced by a different - a full geological origin of the Sahara's eyes.

For a long time, ever since the first space missions, Rishat structure served as a landmark for astronauts in orbit, as among the vast expanse of unremarkable desert was our well-visible object. Structure Rishat is not followed by the fall of an ancient meteor as many thought and still think. These concentric circles, in fact of alternating layers of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks, formed as a symmetrical anticline by erosion. flickr/Stuart Rankin

It is believed that the Eye of the Sahara was formed in the period between the Late Proterozoic (2.5 billion years) and Ordovician (480 million years). The most ancient ring about 600 million years. The original version of the origin in a collision with a meteorite later changed version fully geological origin of these concentric circles. Despite the extensive field and laboratory studies that have been conducted, scientists, geologists could not find conclusive evidence that would indicate that the impact of an extraterrestrial object.

Moreover, there is a ring-shaped structure Rishat depression that characterizes the place of a meteorite of this size. From meteorite crash site Sahara Eye also differs in that sedimentary rocks are deposited in it in the usual, "pristine", not the inverted form. According to the latest analytical study breccia (a rock consisting of cemented rubble of one or more rock) Rishat structure, carbonate-rich silica rocks formed under the influence of hydrothermal waters, and the structure itself requires special protection, and further study of its origin.

Tifanny Studio lamp called of Wisteria

Tifanny Studio in the creation of unique and expensive jewellery is considered one of the most outstanding from the beginning of the 20th century. This original lamp called of Wisteria, and its founder is considered to be Clara Driscoll (1901), who was inspired by the work of floral motifs and Japanese culture. The lamp is made up of 2,000 pieces that in ensemble create an image of a hanging wisteria. It was sold at Sotheby's auction in December 2015 for $790,000. It is known that a similar lamp was sold five years earlier for twice the price.

After a six-day search, authorities in Australia have finally found the missing radioactive capsule that fell off a truck last month.

This thing is a tiny, pea-sized, dangerously radioactive piece of equipment!

A billion-dollar startup wants to bring back to life the dodo and the woolly mammoth within 4 years

Colossal Biosciences is adding the famously dead bird to its de-extinction agenda… Yes, the billion-dollar startup wants to bring back the dodo and the wholly mammoth to life. They plan to re-incarnate the mammoth within the next 4 years… This actually means 5 years until the black market for Dodo/ Mammoth Meat and Mammoth Ivory becomes a thing…

A Dodo: The last time the species was seen alive was in the 1600s, and now Colossal Biosciences says it will one day bring the birds back.

By Colossal biosciences

A biotechnology startup that promises to resurrect woolly mammoths within the next 4 years is now the first “de-extinction unicorn,” with a valuation said to be over a billion dollars before bringing back a single lost species. Colossal Biosciences, the Dallas-based startup, is making public a new round of investment this week that will help fund its effort to bring back perhaps the most famously extinct animal of them all: the dodo.

Reintroducing mammoths to Alaska or dodos to Mauritius sounds unrealistic, even silly, and has drawn skepticism from paleo-geneticists and other experts who worry that the effects of de-extinction would be unpredictable. Yet Colossal has continued to draw support from investors, including celebrities, and on Tuesday announced another $150 million for a total of $225 million since 2021. A person familiar with the company said with the latest round the startup is valued at about $1.5 billion.

...“When you’re doing big things like this, who knows what you’re going to discover along the way.”...

Some pictures of my (Manuel) expedition to Antarctica

Strange Sounds

Today, I thought I would show you some pictures I made in 2006 in Antarctica during a scientific expedition.

Me… A long time ago… During a quiet and sunny day in Antarctica…

About me: I am Canadian and Swiss. I have 2 happy kids. I graduated in geology (this is why you get a gemstone if you subscribe!). Then, I wrote my PhD in cosmochemistry (study of the early processes in the solar system based on isotopic measurements of radionuclines in minerals found in meteorites) in Paris.

After working in the private sector for a few years (as a geological and concrete engineer at different big tunnel construction sites in Switzerland and around (Gotthard, Lötschberg, Linthal 2015, Lyon-Turin ferroviaire, among others…), I quit everything, fed up, and started a website (StrangeSounds) which then led to the creation of this newsletter.

I am very happy with that decision… Let see where it will bring us!...

It is so peaceful…

Again everyday, you are part of the whole… You are one with the universe…

Thank you very much for all your writings, Manuel!

Could you come here and help us? That would be wonderful!

Abby Johnson @AbbyJohnson some tweets...

Since it’s Black History Month, it’s a great month to teach everyone that Planned Parenthood was founded by a huge racist who wanted to exterminate minorities.

Science says that unborn children have their own set of unique DNA. That makes them a complete different human and body from their mother. It’s not her body, and it shouldn’t be her choice to slaughter it.

We don’t talk enough about how devastating it is when men want to have their baby but the child’s mother aborts it. That is heartbreaking and unacceptable.

Feminism has terrified women of becoming mothers instead of telling them it’s one of the best things to ever happen. Abortion wouldn’t exist if every woman knew the joy of motherhood.

Mothers who are pro-abortion absolutely astound me. I don’t know how you can experience motherhood, have a child of your own, and then also support killing them in the womb.

The cult of modern day feminism leaves women single, childless, and working like a slave for a corporation. Women: Avoid the lies of feminism at all costs. A husband and children are a million times better.

Your pregnancy being unplanned shouldn’t make it acceptable to murder your own child.

Abortion is not healthcare because healthcare never involves killing people.

Does anyone remember when schools used to teach kids math instead of that they were born the wrong gender? Good times.

Babies matter. Life matters.

CitizenGO Retweeted Lauren Marlowe (post-roe edition) @theLaurenMarl

Abortion is not “love.” Abortion is not “healthcare.” Abortion is not “empowerment.” Abortion is suffocation, poisoning, & dismemberment of innocent babies. Abortion is violence.
