Interstellar - The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars - Avi Loeb (Astronomy - review 0993, 03-04-24)
It is so revitalizing to read a book on the possibility of Extraterrestrial Civilizations ETC that's authoritative written, realistically optimistic and details methods actively being undertaken to expand our knowledge of UAP Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (aka UFO's).
Mr. Loeb is the chairman of the Harvard Astronomy Department and an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Science, American Physics Society and the International Academy of Astronautics. He acknowledges that we have not definitely identified any objects as origination from an ETC (Extraterrestrial Civilization) but we should undertake a systematic search utilizing the scientific method including peer review of all reports and conclusions.
Some may believe this is a total waste of time and money that could be better spent elsewhere, and they may, in the long, run be correct. Nonetheless Mr. Loeb makes a very persuasive case this is an enterprise worth undertaking and has initiated the scientific analysis of current and future UAP's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (aka UFO's).

Celebrating 10 Years of Vertical Cinema, Sonic Acts’ pioneering project made its way to Vilnius for a two-day event at Scanorama film festival on 6 and 7 November 2024. Visitors could experience a rotating collection of awe-inspiring vertical films on a 10-metre-high monolithic screen, hosted at the industrial art space Kablys+Kultūra.
The curatorial and commissioning platform Vertical Cinema, which first premiered in 2013 at the Kontraste Festival in Austria, features works by artists Joost Rekveld, HC Gilje, Susan Schuppli, Karl Lemieux, Lukas Marxt, Telcosystems & Makino Takashi, Billy Roisz & Dieter Kovacic, Manuel Knapp, Johann Lurf, Esther Urlus, and Rosa Menkman.
View the full programme at scanorama.lt/en/vertical-cinema
Vertical Cinema is a Sonic Acts production in collaboration with Kontraste Festival, The Austrian Film Museum, Filmtechniek BV, Paradiso Amsterdam, European Space Agency, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and International Film Festival Rotterdam. It was generously funded by the Mondriaan Fund’s programme for commissioned projects.

About Lunar Storm:
The Moon’s face seems static. Though he orbits the earth every 27.3 days, phasing parts of its appearance invisible during this rotation, he is always (visibly or invisibly) staring at us with his familiar expression. The Moon is the best known celestial body in the sky and the only one, besides the Earth, that humans have ever set foot on.
The Seas of the Moon (Lunar Maria), not made of water but of lava dust and impact craters, appear motionless to the naked eye. Here, lava dust forms a thick blanket of less reflective, disintegrated micro particles. But on a rare occasion, beyond the gorges of these Maria, and only when the lunar terminator passes (the division between the dark and the light side of the moon) a mysterious glow appears. This obscure phenomenon, also known as lunar horizon glow, is hardly ever seen from Earth.
Beyond the gorges of the lunar mare, the Moon is covered with lunar dust, a remnant of lunar rock. Obliterated and smashed by meteoric impacts and bombarded by interstellar, charged atomic particles, the molecules of these broken rocks possess dangling bonds and unsatisfied electric connections.
During dawn, when the first sunlight is about to hit the Moon, the energy inherent to solar ultraviolet and X-ray radiation knocks the electrons out of the unstable lunar dust. While during dusk (lunar sunset) an opposite process takes place. These electrostatic changes cause lunar storms right on the lunar terminator, that levitate this dust into the otherwise static exosphere of the Moon and which results into ‘glowing dust fountains’

Dusty emission in the Tadpole nebula, IC 410, lies about 12,000 light-years away in the northern constellation Auriga. The cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, bright cluster stars are seen all around the star-forming nebula. Notable near the image center are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebula's central regions. Potentially sites of ongoing star formation in IC 410, these cosmic tadpole shapes are about 10 light-years long. The featured image was taken in infrared light by NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. via NASA ift.tt/1t0IGXN

Like a ship plowing through cosmic seas, runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi produces the arcing interstellar bow wave or bow shock seen in this stunning infrared portrait. In the false-color view, bluish Zeta Oph, a star about 20 times more massive than the Sun, lies near the center of the frame, moving toward the left at 24 kilometers per second. Its strong stellar wind precedes it, compressing and heating the dusty interstellar material and shaping the curved shock front. Around it are clouds of relatively undisturbed material. What set this star in motion? Zeta Oph was likely once a member of a binary star system, its companion star was more massive and hence shorter lived. When the companion exploded as a supernova catastrophically losing mass, Zeta Oph was flung out of the system. About 460 light-years away, Zeta Oph is 65,000 times more luminous than the Sun and would be one of the brighter stars in the sky if it weren't surrounded by obscuring dust. The image spans about 1.5 degrees or 12 light-years at the estimated distance of Zeta Ophiuchi. via NASA ift.tt/1fcAp39
