UFO Sighting Karnal : Haryana, India

The UFO Phenomena is almost unheard of in India and then comes along the news of an amazing UFO sighting on National TV like this one which happened on the 8th of July 2007 in Karnal, Haryana. Two blue colored lights hovering in the skies encircling each other for over 2 hours, witnessed live by thousands and the video footage seen by millions of Indians across the country.

The video is in Hindi which roughly translates the general reactions from people as ...

Some people thought these Orbs to be circus lights while scientists were working on the possibility of these lights originating from Earth's surface, which should give the light some sort of a tail however nothing of that sort was visible in this rare spectacle which is clearly one of the most prominent UFO sightings in India and ironically hardly ever heard of since the mainstream media is doing a great job in keeping things low key !

Aldous Huxley's The Gravity Of Light

Cosmic ૐ Oneness Aldous Huxley , Culture 2 Comments

Aldous Leonard Huxley was a British author, most famous for his novel Brave New World. One of the psychedelic pioneers who brought to the modern world an eclectic view of the raving psychedelic culture that stemmed from the use of psychedelics such as Mescaline and LSD to attain altered states of consciousness, to tune into other higher realms and parallel universes !

Aldous Huxley wrote 'The Doors Of Perception' inspired by these words of William Blake ... "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."

Later on, Jim Morrison drew inspiration from Huxley's Book and started 'The Doors' alongside Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger ...

Aldous Huxley's The Gravity of Light is a feature film essay on Aldous Huxley's cultural criticism and social prophecy in light of the new millennium, the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

Narration: Dr. Jean Houston.

A contemporary reading of Huxley's oeuvre, a rendition and interpretation, inspired by an immersion into his life and thought. Complex, iconoclastic, psychedelic, and historical.

Aldous Huxley: The Gravity Of Light incorporates rare archival footage, computer rendered 3D animation, speculative fictions, and selections from his essays.

Personal in tone, the film also recalls the impact of Huxley's LSD-25 and mescaline experimentations and writings for a whole generation of youth and examines the utopianistic impulses associated with the recent Rave scene. The work reflects the aesthetics and poesis of the psychedelic state without collapsing into the tie-dye cliches that have trivialized the '60's era.

Doctor Jean Houston, a senior advisor to the United Nations on matters of Human Development, eloquently speaks on the immense contribution Huxley has made concerning the possible human.

Special thanks to Laura Huxley and Jean Houston.

"Hockenhull's simultaneously thoughtful and carefully conceived approach to the subject has made for a kind of documentary I would not hesitate to compare with the works of Trinh T. Minh-ha in form and self-reflexivity and Derek Jarman in style and composition. Hockenhull's approach to this "hybrid" form of cinema manages to aggressively question our presumptions and preconceptions around the current Zeitgeist while simultaneously exploring the knowledge and impact of one of the twentieth century's greatest minds."

Hubble Celebrates 19th Birthday With Amazing Galactic Pictures

Cosmic ૐ Oneness Cosmology , Galactic Activity 0 Comments

Interacting Galaxies Group Arp 194

Over the past 19 years Hubble has taken dozens of exotic pictures of galaxies going "bump in the night" as they collide with each other and have a variety of close encounters of the galactic kind. Just when you thought these interactions couldn't look any stranger, this image of a trio of galaxies, called Arp 194, looks like one of the galaxies has sprung a leak. The bright blue streamer is really a stretched spiral arm full of newborn blue stars. This typically happens when two galaxies interact and gravitationally tug at each other.

Resembling a pair of owl eyes, the two nuclei of the colliding galaxies can be seen in the process of merging at the upper left. The blue bridge looks like it connects to a third galaxy. In reality the galaxy is in the background and not connected at all. Hubble's sharp view allows astronomers to try and visually sort out what are foreground and background objects when galaxies, superficially, appear to overlap. This picture was issued to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1990. During the past 19 years Hubble has made more than 880,000 observations and snapped over 570,000 images of 29,000 celestial objects.

The Pistol Star: A Brilliant Star in Milky Way's Core

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have identified what may be the most luminous star known — a celestial mammoth which releases up to 10 million times the power of the Sun and is big enough to fill the diameter of Earth's orbit. The star unleashes as much energy in six seconds as our Sun does in one year.

The image, taken by a University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)-led team with the recently installed Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) aboard Hubble, also reveals a bright nebula, created by extremely massive stellar eruptions. The nebula is so big (four light-years) that it would nearly span the distance from the Sun to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to Earth's solar system.

The astronomers estimate that when the titanic star was formed one to three million years ago, it may have weighed up to 200 times the mass of the Sun before shedding much of its mass in violent eruptions.

"This star may have been more massive than any other star, and now it is without question still among the most massive — even at the low end of our estimates," says Don F. Figer of UCLA. "Its formation and life stages will provide important tests for new theories about star birth and evolution."

Hubble - Spitzer Color Mosaic of the Galactic Center

This composite color infrared image of the center of our Milky Way galaxy reveals a new population of massive stars and new details in complex structures in the hot ionized gas swirling around the central 300 light-years. This sweeping panorama is the sharpest infrared picture ever made of the Galactic core.
