The Washington Post summarized an interview with the JPL IRAS lead scientist:

A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope... 'All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is', said Gerry Neugebauer, chief IRAS scientist.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 166625


I think that is from an old story and was resolved. Why don't you post the resolution to that initial observation?

Yes, it's from that 1983 article that Nancy Lieder has been parading around for the last 10 years. She claims that the conclusions later reached which go against her story are just part of the coverup. She glorifies the early sensationalistic SUMMARY by a REPORTER, and then decries the conclusions reached by the actual scientists involved. How droll.

Why is it wrong to argue against ignorance? It spreads if
you don't offer a counter to it. Why are you protecting it
so voraciously? Why do you fear information that would
contradict the claim. You are trying to protect ignorance.

That's sad. Are you so insecure that you have to construct
elaborate scenarios to explain why something shouldn't be
argued?

I suppose when people rail against pedophiles you think that
means that what they do is good? That's the kind of logic you
are applying.

 Quoting: Dee 536


It's even more tiresome to witness people who claim that
people believed the Earth was flat in the last 2000 years.

Galileo was a DEBUNKER!!




In fact, the Greeks before Columbus's time new the world was round. The church was suppressing the idea from the public.
 Quoting: Schmieder 324203


Actually the Church was RIGHT and Columbus was WRONG. His
calculations for the circumference of the Earth were too
small, and the Church officials knew this since they used
the figures from the ancient Greek.

Educate yourself.
 Quoting: Schmieder 324203


Indeed. Read the notes Columbus left for us and see how he
was wrong. He's damned lucky that there was a continent in
the way of his trip to China. Otherwise they would have
starved long before they got there.

Inuit seek answers to Arctic sun quirks
Last Updated: Friday, March 9, 2007 | 6:21 PM ET
CBC News

Some Inuit say they hope scientists coming to Nunavut for research as part of International Polar Year can help shed light on changes they're seeing in the sun — particularly, how it's been showing up more often in the usually always-dark winters.
For the past several years, residents in the High Arctic have observed that the winter dark season is ending earlier than usual, with the sun coming up at a different place than what people are used to seeing.
"The people [are] talking about earlier sunrise, more light in the dark season, instead of being more total darkness than before," Grise Fiord resident Larry Audlaluk said Thursday, adding that he has heard similar observations from people in other Far North communities.
"There are notices of more daylight earlier, and the dark season is not the real dark season that we used to know."
A bit further south, Igloolik Mayor Paul Quassa said hunters have noticed the same phenomenon.
"This year, the sun started coming up so fast that it's almost like April when it's mid-February," he said.
Both Audlaluk and Quassa were part of an International Polar Year planning workshop Thursday in Iqaluit.
Wayne Davidson, who is the resident meteorologist in Resolute Bay, said the likely cause of this "rising sun" mystery is a temperature difference between the very cold air over the snow and the air above, which has been warmer than usual.
Glaciologist Dr. Roy Koerner, with the Geological Survey of Canada, agreed, comparing it to sticking a fork into a glass of water: the fork appears to bend where it enters the water, he said.
"So you get the same effect: you get this bent effect. Except in this case, the sun, which is just below the horizon, looks as if it's above the horizon, just a bit of it," he said.
Both Koerner and Davidson said they believe a warming climate is responsible. They said they hope Inuit and scientists working during International Polar Year can work together on more in-depth analysis of the observations.

While I understand those nice scientists were giving what they thought were intelligent answers, i.e. "the bending light effect". They fail to take into consideration that these people use the sun to navigate, tell time, and plan their year. They truly live with the sun each and every day. Unlike those who spend most of their lives indoors not paying too much attention to what it is doing. Those of us mathmatically challenged but spend loads of time in the garden, planting for shade and sun, are finding things aren't all that they seem. Even taking into consideration changes in plant size, surrounding plant growth, etc, it has been relatively easy to see that something is odd, something one can't quite put their finger on. Whether the earth has changed its position slightly or the "bending light effect", something is different.

Re: I've been through the desert on a thread with no nameQuote

Well I don't know what's going on but when I moved into my house, the north side of my hen house never got any sun. I had to change all the(sun loving) plants I put there. I have had shade plants there for 6 yrs now, all was well. Last year,maybe the year before that, I noticed certain plants getting burned and and had to move some out. This year it is almost fully in the sun for about 6 or more hrs a day. I have the sun plants back in now. fwiw


Fellow gardener here. I've noticed the exact same phenomenon.

Stay true to your own inner knowing. hf


Please describe. Are you talking about plants getting "burned" or that the Sun now shines where it never did before?
 Quoting: Menow 449281



The north-facing windows had no direct sun for the 10 years I lived here. Now the sun shines directly into the house through those windows, which it never did before, and the shade-loving plants in the area just outside of that are getting sunburnt.

And no, there were no trees cut down or anything that would obviously allow for more sun to reach that area.
