Most geologists today interpret the Carolina bays as relict geomorphological features that developed via various eolian and lacustrine processes. In fact, literally, it matters more than anything else. They contend that extinction of megafauna was synchronous with associated effects on prehistoric human societies. There are subtleties here. ", "No evidence of nanodiamonds in Younger-Dryas sediments to support an impact event", "Impacts, mega-tsunami, and other extraordinary claims", "Nanodiamonds do not provide unique evidence for a Younger Dryas impact", "Absence of geochemical evidence for an impact event at the Blling-Allerd/Younger Dryas transition", "Geochemical data reported by Paquay et al. 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. It would be advantageous to be highly mobile from planets and moons, wait out of the way in nearby orbiting fashion and return to what can be salvaged. Bottom line: You might see a South Taurid meteor anytime from about September 10 to November 20. Another hypothesis suggests instead that the jet stream shifted northward in response to the melting of the North American ice sheet, which brought more rain to the North Atlantic, which freshened the ocean surface enough to slow the thermohaline circulation. A large soot anomaly was also found in cores from the site. [21], Some scientists have asserted that the carbon spherules originated as fungal structures and/or insect fecal pellets, and contained modern contaminants[22][23] and that the claimed nanodiamonds are actually misidentified graphene and graphene/graphane oxide aggregates. I Posters", "Younger Dryas Boundary: Extraterrestrial Impact or Not? [f][129][130][131] Hancock expanded on his claims in a subsequent book, America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization (2019), in which he claimed that the Younger Dryas catastrophe had wiped out all traces of a sophisticated Ice Age civilization in North America. G raham Hancock's 2015 book Magicians of the Gods: The Forgotten Wisdom of Earth's Lost Civilization 1 is something of a sequel and update to his 1995 international bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization, 2 which was translated into 27 languages and sold more than three million copies. [b] Using statistical analysis and modeling, James P. Kennett and others concluded that widely separated organic-rich layers, including black mats, were deposited synchronously across multiple continents as an identifiable Younger Dryas boundary layer. From Earth's perspective, the Taurid meteor shower appears to come approximately from the direction of the Taurus constellation. [66] A 2022 study by an independent group presents genomic evidence that a previously unidentified pre-18,000 BP South American population suffered a major disruption at the Younger Dryas onset, resulting in a significant loss of lineages and a Y chromosome bottleneck. While studying the Taurid complex, the researchers found two asteroids that had not been seen before. Make sure to move your gaze around the nearby constellations. More editions of Magicians here: https://grahamhancock.com/magicians/. Graham Hancock writes on his Facebook page: "The new secret scientific research, which the general public is largely unaware of, clearly defines this meteor shower as the main hidden threat in human history. He became the loudest voice in the argument against the accepted chronology of the development of human civilization. harvp error: no target: CITEREFPowell2022 (, sfnp error: no target: CITEREFPowell2022 (, Learn how and when to remove these template messages, Learn how and when to remove this template message, shutdown of the North Atlantic "Conveyor", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "Was the Younger Dryas Triggered by a Flood? [28] One group of researchers also reported they were unable to replicate platinum group metals in the boundary layer,[a][29] despite reporting enhanced Iridium concentrations up to >300% of background in 2 of their samples. 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. [75], Another proposed cause has been volcanic activity. The Taurid meteor shower is composed of two streams: The Southern Taurids which peak between Nov. 4 and Nov. 5; and the Northern Taurids which peak between Nov. 11 and Nov. 12. Am I on to something? Part2. Earth with its creatures and plants would be a disaster area. "[93] The first debate between proponents and skeptics was held at the 2008 Pecos Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona. They ramble along in October and November and are especially noticeable from late October into early November, when they overlap. Scientists attribute at least three other meteor showers to Comet Encke. ", "The Clovis Comet - The Cratering Evidence", "The Clovis Comet - New Developments in the Proxy Evidence, Part I", "The Clovis Comet - New Developments in the Proxy Evidence, Part II", "The Clovis Comet - New Developments in the Proxy Evidence, Part III", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesis&oldid=1150004422, This page was last edited on 15 April 2023, at 19:28. Earth passes relatively close to the Taurid swarm twice per year. Did the mammoth slayer leave a diamond calling card? "Being an EarthSky editor is like hosting a big global party for cool nature-lovers," she says. But why are the listed peak dates different? [11] CRG members initially denied tampering with the photos but eventually published a correction in which they admitted to inappropriate image manipulation. The earth passes through the Taurid Meteor Stream twice a year, each passage taking around 12 days. 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. The samples, dated by radiocarbon to the beginning of the Younger Dryas, were found to contain a large platinum anomaly, consistent with findings from other sites. Theyre active from about October 20 to December 10. 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. Thats NOT an approval from me regarding their continued secrecy in such matters of space exploration. Worth keeping an eye on is reports of objects in a localised area of the ort cloud moving in the opposite direction. When to watch: Best around midnight, and probably best from late October into early November. [62] They suggested that the hypothesis would probably need to be revised. Defant. 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? And if you have a news tip, correction or comment, let us know at: community@space.com. The argument, strongly supported by a number of leading astronomers and astrophysicists, is that both these groups of impacts originated from the same source a fragmented giant comet that entered our inner solar system around 20,000 years ago on an earth-crossing orbit. This NASA graphic shows the radiants of the two Taurid meteor showers. I often wonder whether that June strike was during the daylight or even possibly from the now called Taurid meteor stream. We pass through these fragments every year at the end of June and in November. Be sure to check the moon rising time box. Coordination of their findings with those of Allen West, Jim Kennett, and Richard Firestone, as led both teams--the geophysicists and the astronomers--to conclude that it was very likely objects from the then much younger Taurid meteor stream that hit the earth around 12,800 years ago and caused the onset of the Younger Dryas. Graham rightly champions the cause that addressing space weather (and consciousness!) [43] Research published in 2012 has shown that the so-called "black mats" are easily explained by typical earth processes in wetland environments. The most widely accepted is that it began because of a significant reduction or shutdown of the North Atlantic "Conveyor" which circulates warm tropical waters northward as the consequence of deglaciation in North America. There were lots of fireball sightings in 2022. http://www.swift.ac.uk/gcn/index.php#index North Taurid meteor showers produce about five visible meteors per hour at a relatively slow speed. These could also be explained by the soon to be discovered Planet 9 that they announced that they think they will be able to locate within the next 18 months. 2022 may be the next opportunity. However, it is highly, highly, highly likely that both the Taurid and K-T objects originated from the Oort Cloud. Deborah Byrd created the EarthSky radio series in 1991 and founded EarthSky.org in 1994. 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 . Defant. GRB(gamma ray bursts) Every year the Earth passes the Taurid meteor showers in October and November, but in 2030, Mr Hancock says we will. West (originally Allen Whitt until he changed his name legally in 2006) is described as having no formal academic affiliation and a degree from a Bible college which he wouldn't name. Note that meteor shower peak times can vary. Unreliable citations may be challenged or deleted. Taurid meteor showers occur twice a year but the stream has a cycle of activity that peaks every 2,500 to 3,000 years, when there are larger impactors. Massive asteroid nicknamed 'The Rock' to make closest pass to Earth in 400 years TODAY, REVEALED: Worst supermarket price rises - with shoppers paying more than 50% for popular everyday items than they did 12 months ago, Young dad, 26, died after making almost 100 calls for help to emergency services, Ex-Premier League star crashed Land Rover into Co-op after '10 pints' in shock footage, 'Dont let our society creep back to the racist 1970s', FA Cup Final to form part of blockbuster double header in one of ITV's biggest ever days, Meghan and Harry ARE included in official Coronation programme despite Duchess staying away - as awkward family photo featured, BREAKING: Neighbours actress Maxine Klibingaitis dies 'suddenly and unexpectedly', Ofgem announces tough new rules on prepayment meters - what it means for you, Jesy Nelson hasn't spoken to Little Mix in TWO years as she breaks silence on feud, Autograph hunter went from 10k in debt to millionaire thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, Lucy Letby sobs in court as 'babies' initials found in diary on alleged murders dates', King Charles chooses official 'Coronation Quiche' to mark big day - and shares recipe, Subscribe to Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror newspapers. 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. 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 They also travel relatively slowly, traversing the sky at about 17 miles (27 kilometers) per second or 65,000 miles (104,000 km) per hour. So, obviously, the Taurid meteor stream, which the Earth crosses twice each year, is named for the constellation Taurus, the Celestial Bull. The earth passes through the Taurid Meteor Stream twice a year, each passage taking around 12 days. 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. This means that we may include adverts from us and third parties based on our knowledge of you. Nearest moon phase: In 2023, the last quarter moon falls on November 5. Your email address will only be used for EarthSky content. [40] In 2019, Jorgeson and others tested this conclusion with the simulation of radiocarbon ages. 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. It seems to me that with recurrent strikes from a presumably same comet meteor stream batch that that meteor batch has lost some weight over the eons. [10] Image forensics expert Elisabeth Bik discovered evidence for digital alteration of images used as evidence for the claim that the village of Tall el-Hammam was engulfed by an airburst. The Spacewatch program discovered it on October 8, 2004. She tracked it for 23 days but did not calculate an accurate orbit. 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. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere will have a good view of the comet in the morning sky, where it might get as bright as magnitude seven, meaning you will need binoculars to see it. [49] Naturally occurring lonsdaleite has also been identified in non-bolide diamond placer deposits in the Sakha Republic. See what we mean? The best time to spot a shooting star is after midnight when there is little moonlight and Taurus . Meteors larger than a meter (3.3 feet) across tend to move the slowest and shine the brightest,. [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. The range of dates can be interpreted that Carolina bays were either created episodically over the last tens of thousands of years or were created at time over a hundred thousand years ago and have since been episodically modified. Encke has the shortest orbital period of any known comet within our solar system, taking just 3.3 years to orbit the sun. ??? 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. . Special night-time video cameras record incoming meteors, and computers calculate the orbit almost immediately. The object responsible for the Northern Taurid meteor shower is believed to be an asteroid. It is noted that in parts of South Africa, the Robberg stone tool technology terminates at about 12,800cal yr BP, co-terminus with the termination of the Clovis technocomplex in North America, but further work is required to assess this coincidence. . [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. A giant meteorite could be on a collision course to destroy us in 2030 a conspiracy theorist archaeologist claims. He inferred that this myth was widespread elsewhere on earth by comparing it with the flood mythology of other peoples. [e][100][101] Around that time, other articles stated that no nanodiamonds were found[24] and that the supposed carbon spherules could be fungus or insect feces and included modern contaminants. Comet Encke was discovered by French astronomer Pierre F. A. Mechain on Jan. 17, 1786, according to NASA Science (opens in new tab). 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. http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/1997Paper.html#ABSTRACT Scientists believe this asteroid was once part of a much larger object known as the Encke Complex. Time and teamwork. https://www.heartmath.org/research/global-coherence/gcms-live-data/ Planet Nine Cant Hide Much Longer, Scientists Say. Its the June / July lot thats even more a bother for those of us not privy to taxpayer dollar supported satellite observations of this stream of space rocks. We also may change the frequency you receive our emails from us in order to keep you up to date and give you the best relevant information possible. According to Western Meteor Physics Group data analysis, the Earth will approach within 30,000,000 km of the center of the Taurid swarm this summer, the closest such . And they were right! In 2021, Daisy completed a PhD in plant physiology and also holds a Master's in Environmental Science, she is currently based in Nottingham, U.K. Relativity Space shelves Terran 1 rocket, focuses on bigger, reusable Terran R. Space is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. [86][87][88] Recent work by the U.S. Geological Survey[89] has interpreted the Carolina bays as relict thermokarst lakes that have been modified by eolian and lacustrine processes. This year the display, peaking in the Northern Hemisphere during the next week or so, will hopefully just be "November fireworks" of the kind we've become used to in recent centuries. Other sources quoted heavy weather warnings, but Every fleet worldwide was involved. I must admit Im a little ant-zee about getting off or away from falling mountains, comet chunks, and what not. [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. [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. Taurid meteors tend to be larger than other meteors and can survive for longer periods as they pass through Earth's atmosphere. Amateur astronomers trust them and rely upon their information. The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) or Clovis comet hypothesis is a speculative attempt to explain the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) as an alternative to the long-standing and widely accepted cause due to a significant reduction or shutdown of the North Atlantic "Conveyor" in response to a sudden influx of freshwater from Lake Agassiz and deglaciation in North America. I've read two books by Graham Hancock, an investigative journalist, where he talks about how these civilizations were likely way more advanced than we give them credit for, but all these advanced civilizations got wiped out by the Taurid Meteor stream, which the earth passes through every year. 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. Encke is only 4.8 km in diameter and it doesn't even make Continue Reading 6 5 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. Thanks for the additional reading sources. "It's simply the fact that when a Taurid appears it's usually big and bright." [96][97] A special debate-style session was convened at the 2009 AGU Fall Meeting in which skeptics and supporters alternated in giving presentations.[98]. A recent study indicates that the asteroid 2004 TG10 is only one of 10 related asteroids that may be responsible for this meteor shower. Scientists compare these orbits to known objects, such as comets and asteroids. http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/burst_info.html The paperback, revised and extended, is now out and available in the UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1444779702/theofficialgra0b. 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. Thank you! 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. Yet two other trusted sources give a different date for the South Taurids peak. In the early nineties I had a frightening experience related to this fact. Related: Meteor shower guide: Dates and viewing advice. Sandwiched between the better known October Orionids and the November Leonids, the Taurids (sometimes referred to as the 'Halloween Fireballs') are a complex meteor shower worthy of scrutiny in. In 2019, a South African team consisting of Francis Thackeray, Louis Scott and Philip Pieterse announced the discovery of a platinum (Pt) spike in peat deposits at Wonderkrater, an artesian spring site in South Africa in the Limpopo Province, near the town of Mookgophong (formerly Naboomspruit) situated between Pretoria and Polokwane. [31] Another group was unable to confirm prior claims of magnetic particles and microspherules in 2009,[32] Other studies involving YDIH proponents found concentrations of magnetic spherules but not all were associated with the YDB and not all were attributed to an ET event. However, on the basis of data presented in their study, they state that the consequences of a hypothesised YD cosmic impact (including the dispersal of atmospheric dust) may have contributed to some extent to the process of extinctions not only in southern Africa, but also to that which occurred in North and South America as well as Europe, recognising synchroneity of Pt anomalies that has been cited in support the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. Here's why. [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. The International Meteor Organization (IMO) and the American Meteor Society (AMS) both give the peak night in 2023 as October 13. [6][7] Members of a group known as the Comet Research Group are the primary advocates for the impact hypothesis. [104] An alternative suggestion is that the Greenland Pt anomaly was caused by a small local iron meteorite fall without any widespread consequences,[105] but this is disputed by the paper's authors who say that a global platinum anomaly is expected due to the ~ 20 year lifetime of the platinum signal. She has won a galaxy of awards from the broadcasting and science communities, including having an asteroid named 3505 Byrd in her honor. theParzival1501 4 mo. Science news, great photos, sky alerts. Don't look directly at Taurus to find meteors; the shooting stars will be visible all over the night sky. Given the behavior of past Taurid swarms . Taurid meteors tend to be larger than other meteors and can survive for longer periods as they pass through Earth's atmosphere. One night an announcement was made that all the worlds fleets, both commercial and navy had been ordered to deep water. [109], In 2018, two papers were published by the Comet Research Group dealing with an "extraordinary biomass-burning episode" associated with the Younger Dryas Impact. If we were smart we'd pay a great deal of attention to the objects that orbit in the Taurid meteor stream. - YouTube Skip navigation Sign in 0:00 / 0:56 Taurid Meteor CAUGHT LIVE during weather report! 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. The North Taurids stem from a nearby, but slightly different stream. But here is where it becomes interesting. Each time comet Encke returns to the inner solar system, its nucleus sheds ice and rock into space into a vast debris stream. Within hours of Pons discovery, Hofrath Huth of Germany and Bovard in Paris picked it up too. It proposed that a large meteor air burst or impact of one or more comets initiated the Younger Dryas cold period about 12,900BP calibrated (10,90014C uncalibrated) years ago. [104] They attribute this platinum anomaly to the likely impact of a large (~0.8km) iron-rich meteorite locally onto Greenland's ice, which would have been "unlikely to result in an airburst or trigger wide wildfires proposed by the YDB impact hypothesis." ", "Younger Dryas "black mats" and the Rancholabrean termination in North America", "Planetary impacts. [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. Author and theorist . [20], In 2012, another paper in PNAS offered evidence of impact glass that resulted from the impact of a meteorite. These two sites are beauties http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ A press release from the University of Mainz stated, "Due to the new dating, the European archives now have to be temporally adapted. However, near the two predicted peaks, the waning gibbous moon will be less bright each night and shouldnt interfere much with meteors after midnight and before dawn. This year the display, peaking in the Northern Hemisphere during the next week or so, will. 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? The Taurid meteor stream is certainly an irritant as much as a celestial show in October / November. Oops! Photos and video of 2015 Taurid fireballs here. [42] Radiocarbon dating, microscopy of paleobotanical samples, and analytical pyrolysis of fluvial sediments in Arlington Canyon on Santa Rosa Island by another group found no evidence of lonsdaleite or impact-induced fires. 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 . Now, Earth is once again moving towards it. [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. Experts thought such an intense meteor shower was a one-in-1,000-year event, but 100 years later, Earth is approaching that same swarm again. They have described the Taurid meteor stream, which crosses the orbit of the earth twice each and every year as "undoubtedly the greatest collision hazard facing the earth." Why are these citations not mentioned in Defant's article which once again misrepresents me here. Meteor showers: Tips for watching the show. 2008 and 2015 both produced remarkable fireball activity. [61][needs update], A study of Paleoindian demography found no evidence of a population decline among the Paleoindians at 12,900100BP, which was inconsistent with predictions of an impact event.
