Explanation: What happens when a star runs out of nuclear fuel? For stars like our Sun, the center condenses into a white dwarf while the outer atmosphere is expelled into space to appear as a planetary nebula. The expelled outer atmosphere of planetary nebula NGC 1514 appears to be a jumble of bubbles -- when seen in visible light. But the view from the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared, as featured here, confirms a different story: in this light the nebula shows a distinct hourglass shape, which is interpreted as a cylinder seen along a diagonal. If you look closely at the center of the nebula, you can also see a bright central star that is part of a binary system. More observations might better reveal how this nebula is evolving and how the central stars are working together to produce the interesting cylinder and bubbles observed.

The XB-70 Valkyrie had an extremely large airframe; the YF-12 was not small, being 107 feet long. But if you compared the two, the Blackbird looked small.

The YF-12s took the seventh through ninth slots on the A-12 assembly line; these were designated as YF-12A high-altitude Mach 3 interceptors. Before the SR 71 was developed, the YF-12 was built by the Skunk Works at Lockheed. The B-70 was a Bomber that could sprint to Mach 3. It could not hold the sprint like the YF-12 could.

The main changes involved modifying the A-12’s nose by cutting back the chines to accommodate the huge Hughes AN/ASG-18 fire-control radar initially developed for the XF-108 with two infrared search and track sensors embedded in the chine leading edge, and the addition of the second cockpit for a crew member to operate the fire control radar for the air-to-air missile system. This airframe could easily fly Mach 3.

As told by Donn A. Byrnes and Kenneth D. Hurley in their book Blackbird Rising: Birth of an Aviation Legend, they were both being tested at Edwards AFB at the same time, so naturally, they hung out at the same bar after work. One of the local watering holes was called Hernandez Hideaway.

YF-12 test pilots, often flew at Mach 3 more often than the XB-70 would do in a lifetime.

Jim Eastham had just about enough of the bragging he heard daily about the XB-70. Eastham was a Lockheed test pilot who had already flown the A-12 and was now flying the YF-12.

One evening at the bar Al White of the XB-70 program was raving about his high Mach numbers when Eastham couldn’t stand it any longer.

He turned to White and said, “Al, we do more Mach 3 times in a single YF-12 mission than you guys have flown in your entire program”

Al looked at Jim, and without missing a beat, he said, “Yes that’s true, Jim, but we lose pieces that are bigger than what you fly!! Their friendly banter was hilarious! ( never did these two aircraft race against each other that’s an artist interpretation)

International research lead by York University professor sheds light on 'lava planets'

Novel models of planetary interiors give scientists a framework to interpret current observations of distant exoplanets from space- and ground-based telescopes

A new paper led by a York University professor and published today in Nature Astronomy introduces a simple theoretical framework to describe the evolution of the coupled interior–atmosphere system of hot rocky exoplanets known as “lava planets.”

“Lava planets are in such extreme orbital configurations that our knowledge of rocky planets in the solar system does not directly apply, leaving scientists uncertain about what to expect when observing lava planets,” says first author Charles-Édouard Boukaré, Assistant Professor in York University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science.

“Our simulations propose a conceptual framework for interpreting their evolution and provide scenarios to probe their internal dynamics and chemical changes over time. These processes, though greatly amplified in lava planets, are fundamentally the same as those that shape rocky planets in our own solar system.”

Exotic worlds may unveil processes driving planetary evolution

Lava planets are Earth- to super-Earth–sized worlds orbiting extremely close to their host stars, completing an orbit in less than a single Earth day. Much like Earth’s Moon, they are expected to be tidally locked, always showing the same face to their star. Their dayside surfaces reach such extreme temperatures that silicate rocks melt – and even vaporize – creating conditions unlike anything in our solar system. These exotic worlds, easily observable due to their ultra short orbital period, provide unique insights into the fundamental processes that shape planetary evolution.

Probing planetary interiors through atmosphere and surface properties

The study combines expertise in geophysical fluid mechanics, exoplanetary atmospheres, and mineralogy to explore how the compositions of lava planets evolve through a process akin to distillation. When rocks melt or vaporize, elements such as magnesium, iron, silicon, oxygen, sodium, and potassium partition differently between vapor, liquid, and solid phases. The unique orbital configuration of lava planets maintains vapor–liquid and solid–liquid equilibria over billions of years, driving long-term chemical evolution.

The paper, “The role of interior dynamics and differentiation on the surface and atmosphere of lava planets,” was co-authored by Daphné Lemasquerier (University of St Andrews), Nicolas B. Cowan (McGill University), Lisa Dang (University of Waterloo),  Henri Samuel, James Badro, Aurélien Falco and Sébastien Charnoz (Université Paris Cité).

Using unprecedented numerical simulations, the team predicts two end-member evolutionary states:

            • Fully molten interior (likely young planets): The atmosphere mirrors the bulk planetary composition, and heat transport within the molten interior keeps the nightside surface hot and dynamic.

            • Mostly solid interior (likely older planets): Only a shallow lava ocean remains on the dayside, and the atmosphere becomes depleted in elements such as sodium, potassium, and iron.

Testing hypotheses with the James Webb Space Telescope

Boukaré explains that this research on lava exoplanets began as a highly exploratory effort with few initial expectations. It builds on a novel modeling approach he developed to study molten rocky planets in collaboration with colleagues at the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris, Université Paris Cité, published in Nature earlier this year.

What began as an exploratory study has since opened a promising new line of research. The predictions outlined in this work helped secure 100 hours of observation time on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — the most advanced infrared observatory ever built, featuring a 6.5‑metre segmented mirror and ultra‑sensitive instruments capable of probing the earliest galaxies and the atmospheres of distant exoplanets with unprecedented precision. These upcoming JWST observations, led by co-author Prof. Dang, will directly test the theoretical framework proposed in this study.

“We really hope we can observe and distinguish old lava planets from young lava planets. If we can do this, it would mark an important step toward moving beyond the traditional snapshot view of exoplanets,” says Boukaré.

      we can never be gods, after all - but we can become something less than human with frightening ease [...] the knives that will slaughter heaven, our heads bloody but unbowed [...] for ours is a fate worse than death...

      Orochimaru's physiology presents a unique integration of human and ophidian characteristics resulting from both hereditary traits and deliberate modifications. The foundational serpentine attributes originate from his clan lineage, which maintains a documented kinship with serpentkind, purportedly tracing back to the mythical Snake King Sheshanaga. Through extensive experimentation, Orochimaru has amplified these ancestral traits, creating a stable but imperfect human-snake hybrid system.

      The olfactory processing demonstrates one of the more complex integrations. While lacking a snake's forked tongue and functional vomeronasal organ (VNO), Orochimaru's brain compensates through synesthetic interpretation of chemical stimuli. Ambient odors trigger concurrent color and taste perceptions, often bearing no logical relation to the source scent.

      This cross-wiring enables limited chakra signature detection, though with significantly reduced accuracy compared to specialized sensory ninja like Karin. The mechanism appears to repurpose vestigial VNO neural pathways present in all humans but typically dormant.

      Visual capabilities show selective enhancement within human parameters. The distinctive slit pupils provide superior night vision comparable to nocturnal serpents, while maintaining full photopic function. A dual ocular protection system has developed - combining standard mobile eyelids with a permanent, transparent brille membrane.

      This adaptation provides continuous defense against particulate matter while preserving visual perception. The system includes latent infrared detection capacity through specialized thermoreceptors in the medial canthal region, though with significant limitations compared to true pit vipers. Thermal data processing occurs through secondary neural pathways to the optic tectum, producing only rudimentary spatial awareness when primary vision is compromised.

      The skin and its associated structures exhibit several ophidian adaptations. The epidermis remains completely hairless except for standard cranial and eyebrow growth, with increased susceptibility to dry skin in arid conditions requiring regular moisturizing. Full epidermal shedding is possible, though metabolically costly and accompanied by substantial discomfort. Unlike snakes, the dermal layer lacks true scales but demonstrates increased tensile strength and elasticity.

      His teeth follows a polyphyodont replacement pattern, allowing continuous regeneration throughout his lifespan. Orochimaru maintains venom production capabilities chemically similar to Bungarus candidus (Malayan krait) neurotoxins, with an estimated 50% mortality rate in treated cases. Notably, he exhibits voluntary control over venom delivery, unlike his serpentine counterparts which employ automatic envenomation.

      Metabolic and digestive functions show pronounced reptilian influences. Orochimaru enters extended periods of postprandial lethargy while processing meals, though not to the extreme degree seen in true snakes.

      His system operates optimally in warm environments, with cold temperatures significantly impairing metabolic efficiency. His dietary requirements remain strictly carnivorous, with digestive enzymes capable of processing uncooked proteins, though he typically prefers prepared meats. The jaw structure permits extreme expansion through flexible mandibular articulation rather than true dislocation.

      Reproductive biology presents the sole system unaffected by serpentine modifications, maintaining standard human functionality. This preservation suggests either biological necessity or deliberate design choice in his transformation process.

      These collective adaptations create a physiologically unstable but functionally viable hybrid system requiring specific environmental conditions, that are often not met, and continual maintenance to sustain equilibrium between human and reptilian subsystems. Each modification provides strategic advantages while introducing corresponding vulnerabilities that Orochimaru must actively manage.

Is there really life on planet K2-18b?

Nathalie Cabrol

We can’t rule it out, but some key questions must be answered. A new study of a sphere orbiting a red dwarf star 124 light years from Earth is raising hopes. Here’s why the evidence is inconclusive

Astrobiology has entered an exciting new phase in recent decades. Since the 1990s, but accelerating in recent years, researchers have begun confirming the existence of exoplanets – that is, planets outside our own solar system – and studying their properties. We now know that planets are common, and a sizeable fraction orbit in the habitable zone of their parent star – suggesting they could have the conditions to sustain biological life.

Studies have also revealed entirely new classes of worlds we had no idea could exist. Hycean planets are unknown in our solar system, and are possibly some of the strangest planets discovered to date. They may be ocean-covered worlds with hydrogen-rich atmospheres and, as such, are promising candidates for the detection of biosignature gases – chemical products we associate with living things. But this is not the only possibility. Their discovery has expanded our concept of habitability and challenged our notions of what kinds of environments can sustain life – both as we know it and as we might not.

Against this backdrop, the recent James Webb space telescope observations of K2-18b, a planet orbiting a red dwarf star 124 light years from Earth, stand out. The latest study, published last week in Astrophysical Journal Letters by a team led by Nikku Madhusudhan, reports a tentative detection of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) or dimethyl disulphide (DMDS), which are gases that we know to be produced by living organisms. While the media tends to focus on the exciting possibility of the presence of life on a distant planet, it seems unlikely that this will be the lasting contribution of this study. As the authors acknowledge, the signal that was detected suggesting the presence of the gases is modest, and other studies may contradict some of its claims.

But first, let’s understand why these results could be exciting. Astrobiologists consider DMS and DMDS plausible biosignature candidates, or signs of life, especially on planets with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. On Earth, marine micro-organisms are the primary producers of DMS. Researchers often cite its presence in theoretical models of sulphur-based biospheres: places where life might thrive in a high-sulphur environment. But there are also known abiotic pathways (not involving life) that could produce the gases. One is the photolysis or electric discharge in hydrogen-sulphide and methane-rich environments, where light or electrical energy could drive the formation of these gases. These pathways have been confirmed by experiments, although they do not produce much DMS or DMDS, and the resulting molecules tend to have a short atmospheric lifetime.

The study argues that the inferred abundance of these gases on K2-18b would be difficult to sustain abiotically without strong sources or specific atmospheric conditions. According to the study, the lack of detection of the compound hydrogen sulphide (H2S) makes it harder to explain the presence of sulphur-based gases like DMS by nonbiological processes, since H2S is often a necessary ingredient in the abiotic chemical pathways. On the other hand, scientists can’t fully rule out non-living sources, since they have in the past detected DMS on a lifeless comet.

The reported detection of DMS or DMDS, while intriguing, is certainly not definitive. The data cannot distinguish between the two molecules due to their similar infrared features: to the detection instruments, both signals look very similar. The detection level remains within the realm where researchers cannot rule out false positives or error introduced by the experimental equipment. There is another significant caveat: additional information essential to accurately interpreting the data is missing, in particular the planet’s environmental characteristics. Other studies still question whether K2-18b even has a surface, water, or is completely barren.

Such contextual information is always critical to proper data analysis. Life co-evolves with its environment, and so if we don’t know much about the environment on a planet, it’s hard to say whether a potential signal of life makes sense. This is difficult in the solar system and even more difficult for exoplanets, because we can only access them through distant observation. For this reason, chemical signals in the form of atmospheric pollutants might actually be the most solid candidates for the presence of life in an exoplanet. Some pollutants are a byproduct of industrial processes or specific technological activities that are not expected to occur naturally in significant quantities on a planet. But DMS and DMDS do not fall into that category; and with them, we are left with the vexing ambiguity that accompanies most of our potential biosignatures.

Nevertheless, this study achieves something important beyond its speculations about life. It proposes a methodology that pushes the limits of what can be done with our current technology (some will say too far) in studying exoplanets. It also helps us determine what steps we must take next to refute or validate its findings. For instance, arguments that abundance of DMS or DMDS inferred in the atmosphere by the study is difficult to sustain by non-living processes calls for developing new research that can theoretically, empirically and experimentally seek the existence of these potential nonbiological pathways. To their credit, the authors call for a “dedicated community effort”. But until we can prove the absence of abiotic sources, it is premature to suggest from these molecules that there is life on K2-18b.

While the paper repeatedly stresses the preliminary nature of the findings and the need for further data, public statements by the lead author have at times conveyed a stronger sense of confidence than the published evidence supports. When this happens, we miss the critically important opportunity to understand that science progresses carefully, incrementally, and with eyes wide open to its strengths and limitations. There is always room for extraordinary conclusions, but these must be backed by compelling evidence. We are all excited at the prospect that one day soon, we will find unambiguous evidence of life beyond Earth. We are not there yet. But we should celebrate how far we have come, and how each additional bit of knowledge takes us that much closer to a definitive answer.

A MILLISECOND ROTATION PERIOD IS A RED FLAG

Recently, a paper I wrote about an accreting neutron star got accepted for publication in a scientific journal, and in the process of working on it, I was forced to think about something: how exactly should I interpret accreting neutron stars in the context of the galaxy of Antiocheka? (the fictional galaxy most of my astronomy cartoons/stories with the living celestial bodies are set in)

Black hole accretion is them eating the material; that is obvious. But when neutron stars accrete, they don't absorb the gas inside their bodies. It strikes and spreads across their surface. So an eating metaphor doesn't really work for them. I've seen some people compare accreting neutron stars to vampires, given they are "undead" stars and are sucking the plasma off of other stars. But since they don't absorb the star's "blood" they're not really like vampires. They're honestly more like the legend of Elizabeth Bathory, who bathed in the blood of her victims in order to look more youthful. Accretion increases the neutron stars' spin rates (which normally slow down due to their magnetic fields) and temperatures (which normally decrease due to cooling). The accretion therefore makes them seem more "youthful" in a way.

I have previously stated that the black holes of Antiocheka need to constantly accrete matter to remain conscious, which puts them in conflict with the stars, who are nuclear fusion powered. I don't imagine the neutron stars have it quite so dire. But Antiochekan star society uses an energy currency, and so as a neutron star loses its magnetic field, temperature, and rotation, they start running out of ways to generate energy and maintain their status in stellar society. In that case, maybe it's not surprising some would turn to more brutal methods of generating energy...stripping material from other stars...

More science & character notes below the break:

-X-ray binaries are binary star systems where a black hole or neutron star is accreting matter from a star. They emit tons of X-rays, hence the name.

-The pulsar Chandra here is specifically a millisecond pulsar. Millisecond pulsars are thought to be formed when a pulsar accretes material from another star, spinning itself up so it has a millisecond-long rotational period. Some pulsars, in the process of accreting material from their companion star en route to millisecond status, end up destroying the companion star with the power of their winds and jets. These are called "black widow" pulsars for obvious reasons. I imagine Chandra was one of these in the distant past out of desperation, though she doesn't remember much of the incident.

-A millisecond rotation period is therefore a "red flag" for star dating because it implies the neutron star might have once been a black widow pulsar.

-I draw Astro (a T-Tauri star) as a five-point star because he is the star equivalent of a child, so he looks like a child's conception of a star. His "headband" is really glowing red plasma he ties into his corona with his magnetic fields.

-Astro has a crush on Chandra (the neutron star/pulsar) but Chandra does not have any affection for him, so she acts weird on purpose to drive him away. The pink letters in her shouting speech bubble represent X-ray speech. I imagine that sounds very intimidating to Astro, because stars normally speak in UV-optical-infrared light.

-The stellar black hole eating the rocket in the first two panels is Schwarzschild. Chandra and him have mutual affection for each other, so Astro is kind of jealous, especially since he still is influenced by the whole "black holes are instinctual automatons" paradigm most Antiochekan stars buy into. He feels as though he is losing Chandra to literally nothing.

Why Can't Satellites Find Bigfoot?

For decades, Bigfoot, a cryptid creature from North American wilderness, has captured imaginations. Despite numerous sightings, hazy photos, and suspicious footprints, Bigfoot's existence is still unproven. Technology has led many doubters and believers to satellites, questioning why this advanced equipment, which can capture comprehensive photographs of Earth, have failed to give compelling evidence. Satellite resolution limitations, the size and complexity of wilderness areas, Bigfoot's elusiveness, and the difficulty of analyzing satellite imagery prevent satellites from proving his existence. Satellite imagery resolution is a major drawback. Satellites can take very precise photographs of Earth, but not enough to spot a Bigfoot in a dense forest. Commercial satellites typically have pixel resolutions of 30 centimeters, representing a 30-centimeter square on the ground. This is great for spotting massive structures, cars, and landscape changes, but it cannot distinguish a large, hairy monster blending into the environment. Even military-grade satellites with higher resolutions struggle to detect small, moving objects in dense forest canopies. Bigfoot, if it exists, is unlikely to stay in open regions where it may be seen, complicating the issue.

Satellite monitoring faces another obstacle in Bigfoot's supposed enormous habitat. Bigfoot is most often seen in distant, forested areas like the Pacific Northwest or Canada's deep forests. These millions of square miles have harsh terrain, heavy vegetation, and few people. It is nearly impossible to find a single organism in such a vast desert. Satellite imaging generates so much data that manually inspecting every frame for Bigfoot is nearly impossible. Automated satellite image recognition systems are trained to distinguish human-made structures and vehicles, not cryptids; hence, they are unlikely to detect Bigfoot. Bigfoot's elusiveness complicates everything. Bigfoot is likely intelligent, cautious, and good at evasion. Since such a species must avoid predators and humans to thrive, this makes evolutionary logic. Many Bigfoot fans believe the monster is nocturnal, spending most of its time in the dark when satellite photography, which relies on visible light, is less efficient. Bigfoot would be hard to discern from bears or deer using infrared technology. Satellites would struggle to record Bigfoot's silent, fast movement through deep woodlands. Satellite images interpretation is another challenge. Proving that a satellite photograph of a big, bipedal figure in the forest is Bigfoot rather than a bear, person, or foliage shadow would be difficult. Such ambiguous material would likely spark arguments rather than confirmation. Skeptics have sometimes attributed Bigfoot sightings to misidentifications, hoaxes, or pareidolia, the tendency to see familiar things like faces and figures in random patterns. Satellite imagery, with its quality and context issues, would undoubtedly be scrutinized. Satellite-based evidence is also limited by Bigfoot skepticism in culture and science. Most scientific institutes prioritize credible or pressing goals including environmental monitoring, climate research, and urban planning. Using powerful satellite technology to find a mythical monster is unlikely to attract support or money. Satellites may theoretically help find Bigfoot, although they are not deliberately deployed for this purpose. Satellites cannot confirm Bigfoot's existence because of technological, environmental, and interpretation issues. Satellites are useful for viewing Earth, but not for discovering a massive, elusive beast in deep wilderness. Satellite imaging resolution, Bigfoot's putative habitat's vastness and remoteness, the creature's evasiveness, and the difficulty of interpreting ambiguous data all contribute to the lack of definitive evidence. Bigfoot remains a folklore and story, evading even the most advanced technologies. The topic of whether Bigfoot exists or is too good at evading discovery continues to spark arguments and curiosity.

Hii, hope ur well! May I take part in your "Home" mini game pls? My initials are A.F :)

Dream house- Anything but minimalism. I want my house to have so much personality, you see it and instantly think of me (and whoever else lives there). Lots of shelves for all my funko pops and figures. And I'd like for the main rooms to follow a pastel aesthetic (Mostly lavenders and light blues). Oh and this is really specific but a room specifically for when I have migraines; Think no windows, temperature controlled, painted navy, and with the most comfortable bed known to man 😭

Ideal self care routine-I'd start it off with a trip to a nearby spa, where I can get a shoulder massage, a skin treatment, and maybe I'll get my eyebrows threaded too. Then an everything shower (With every hair treatment I can think of for my curls), and I'll use all my vanilla-scented body products so that I smell like birthday cake! Then shaping my nails, staying up late watching Netflix (Probably a psychological thriller) in bed with a bar of lindt chocolate, and then drifting off to sleep with ASMR.

Thank you, and I'm sorry for writing so much 😭😭😭 Have a nice day! :D

Hi AF,

Thank you so much for participating in my Home ask game.

I absolutely love the sass in your "Anything but minimalism" answer! It's such a fun idea to design your house in a way that reflects your personality. Oooohhh collectibles!! When you have migraines? Like a room with that helps destress and regulate your nervous system

Throw in a weighted blanket, some hidden surround sound system playing the ocean waves, some red light therapy and a portable far-infrared sauna blanket; and you'll have both the most mentally relaxing and physically detoxifying self-care room in your house!

OMG yes!!! a complete, overall spa treatment, everything shower and fancy body care products! Then a mani-pedi, end the day with eating chocolate, watching Netflix and drift off to sleep with soothing ASMR!! Now this is IDEAL SELF-CARE ROUTINE!!!!!!!

So the cards I pulled are: 6 of Cups, 5 of Coins, 8 of Wands

What you're encouraged to do is to lean into what's a familiar cozy comfort from childhood. Leaning into what you would do to bring you a sense of comfort and ease when you were a kid, is one way to feel at home in your body.

A strong suggestion in this reading is to do Inner Child workor shadow prompts. Find practical ways to help you hear and tend to the needs of your inner child so that you feel more at home in your body. Visiting familiar places and eating comfort food are also suggestions.

This is rather odd to pull in this kind of reading. So when I sat down and calmed down, tried to figure out how this makes sense in your reading. I got a download that this is more of what you want to move away from, to solve or to avoid.

Now this can be interpreted as making sure you find practical ways to prevent unemployment, hardship, self-abandonment and depression. Avoiding these or triggers related to the aforementioned above will help you be more at home in your body, which totally makes sense!

It's so much easier to be at home in your own body if you're not stressed out about rent, bills, etc. Granted, worrying about problems is part of being human. So it's not to completely rid of yourself about that stress, finding ways to lessen the possibility is a better option to be more at home in your body and life.

Last note on the second card, don't abandon yourself just to keep someone in your life. You know who I'm talking about... (feel my knowing look energetically)

So with the last card, movement is the strongest message in this card, which relates to exercise. Yes, I can feel your eyes roll. And no, I didn't install any CCTV in your place.

So the reason why this card showed up is to encourage you to do exercise that focuses more on somatic healing. When it comes to somatic exercise, it's believed that the mind might forget but the body remembers and carries the trauma, in specific areas (depending on your past pain.)

For example, the reason why you might struggle to lose weight(despite trying out every known exercise and diet routine online) is because your body doesn't feel safe to exist in your current situation. The body fat stays on as a means to cope and feel safe.

I'm getting intuitive hints that you should try reading the books "The Body Keeps Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk and "When the Body Says No" by Dr. Gabor Mate. Feel free to let me know if this makes sense to you.

This concludes the end of your reading. Do let me know how this resonates with you. Feel free to show some support via my Buy Me A Coffee here (This reading is for entertainment purposes only.)

Spirit Portals

Spirit portals, frequently referred to as doorways or portals between multiple dimensions or planes of existence, are a notion with strong roots in a variety of spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is thought that spirits, entities, or energies can pass through these portals to move between other planes of existence and our earthly realm. Many different cultures and belief systems have different interpretations and explanations for the concept of spirit gateways. Spirit gateways are revered locations with blurred boundaries between the material world and the spirit realm in many indigenous and shamanic traditions. Shamans and other spiritual seekers frequently go to these places to carry out rituals, speak with spirits, and receive healing or insight. Locations of historical or natural beauty, such as old forests, mountains, caverns, or bodies of water, are believed to naturally host these portals. People believe these locations to have a spiritually supportive vibe, making them ideal for establishing a connection with the afterlife.

Ghost hunters and paranormal investigators sometimes refer to spirit portals as "vortexes" or "energy vortexes". Theoretically, these gateways serve as conduits for ghostly or otherworldly occurrences, according to paranormal investigators. People sometimes believe spirit portals to exist in places with strong paranormal activity reports, like cemeteries, haunted houses, and former battlefields. To find and examine these purported gateways, investigators employ a variety of instruments and methods, including infrared cameras, EMF (electromagnetic field) meters, and EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recordings. Spirit gateways are also mentioned in contemporary New Age and metaphysical concepts. They are frequently perceived as centers of high vibrating energy, where people can experience psychic powers, increased spiritual awareness, or communication with higher entities. Practitioners of astral projection, energy healing, and meditation may search for or make spirit gates as part of their spiritual practice. Sometimes these gateways can be opened or enhanced through methods like focused intention, sacred geometry, and crystal grids. Paranormal fiction, encompassing books, films, and television series, frequently employs spirit gateways as a literary device. Characters often depict them as whirling, luminous portals or mirrors that allow them to enter different dimensions or worlds. Despite being fanciful, these depictions are based on the premise that specific locations or items can act as links between other worlds. On the other hand, detractors contend that spirit portals are not real gates to other realms but rather the result of magical thinking and psychological events. They propose that many of the experiences that people attribute to spirit portals—like abrupt decreases in temperature, unexplained noises, or a sense of being watched—can be accounted for by ambient variables, natural causes, or the power of suggestion. Studies on psychology have demonstrated that the human mind is skilled at identifying patterns and telling stories, particularly when faced with unclear or emotionally charged circumstances.

Despite doubt, people continue to believe in spirit portals due to cultural narratives and personal experiences. Individuals who report having experienced these portals frequently talk about deep experiences that are difficult to explain. These experiences can range from hearing voices from the afterlife and seeing ghosts to experiencing an intense sense of calm or a strong connection to a higher power. Spirit portals offer an enticing peek into the invisible parts of existence and a deep mystery to believers. The interest in spirit gateways reflects a larger human curiosity about the nature of existence and the potential for life beyond the physical world. Spirit portals, whether perceived as actual doorways, symbolic ideas, or psychological events, arouse curiosity in the unknown and pique the imagination. They serve as a reminder of the timeless appeal of mystery and the need for understanding in a world that is frequently more nuanced and mysterious than it first seems.

The XB-70 Valkyrie had an extremely large airframe; the YF-12 was not small, being 107 feet long. But if you compared the two, the Blackbird looked small.

The YF-12s took the seventh through ninth slots on the A-12 assembly line; these were designated as YF-12A high-altitude Mach 3 interceptors. Before the SR 71 was developed, the YF-12 was built by the Skunk Works at Lockheed. The B-70 was a Bomber that could sprint to Mach 3. It could not hold the sprint like the YF-12 could.

The main changes involved modifying the A-12’s nose by cutting back the chines to accommodate the huge Hughes AN/ASG-18 fire-control radar initially developed for the XF-108 with two infrared search and track sensors embedded in the chine leading edge, and the addition of the second cockpit for a crew member to operate the fire control radar for the air-to-air missile system. This airframe could easily fly Mach 3.

As told by Donn A. Byrnes and Kenneth D. Hurley in their book Blackbird Rising: Birth of an Aviation Legend, they were both being tested at Edwards AFB at the same time, so naturally, they hung out at the same bar after work. One of the local watering holes was called Hernandez Hideaway.

YF-12 test pilots, often flew at Mach 3 more often than the XB-70 would do in a lifetime.

Jim Eastham had just about enough of the bragging he heard daily about the XB-70. Eastham was a Lockheed test pilot who had already flown the A-12 and was now flying the YF-12.

One evening at the bar Al White of the XB-70 program was raving about his high Mach numbers when Eastham couldn’t stand it any longer.

He turned to White and said, “Al, we do more Mach 3 times in a single YF-12 mission than you guys have flown in your entire program”

Al looked at Jim, and without missing a beat, he said, “Yes that’s true, Jim, but we lose pieces that are bigger than what you fly!! Their friendly banter was hilarious! ( never did these two aircraft race against each other that’s an artist interpretation)
