Hurrah for Getty. Looks like those good folks are catching up with the times.  This major collection should be a big boost to the images available to Alternative news services like THEI. . . . EDITOR

New camera provides tantalizing clues of new atmospheric phenomenon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2012—Hoping to expand our understanding of auroras and other fleeting atmospheric events, a team of space-weather researchers designed and built NORUSCA II, a new camera with unprecedented capabilities that can simultaneously image multiple spectral bands, in essence different wavelengths or colors, of light. The camera was tested at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO) in Svalbard, Norway, where it produced the first-ever hyperspectral images of auroras—commonly referred to as “the Northern (or Southern) Lights”—and may already have revealed a previously unknown atmospheric phenomenon.

Details on the camera and the results from its first images were published today in the Optical Society’s (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express. . . . Read Complete Report

Retro: First images from Great Pyramid’s chamber of secrets 25 May 2011 by Rowan Hooper (w/Video)

THEY might be ancient graffiti tags left by a worker or symbols of religious significance. A robot has sent back the first images of markings on the wall of a tiny chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt that have not been seen for 4500 years. It has also helped settle the controversy about the only metal known to exist in the pyramid, and shows a “door” that could lead to another hidden chamber.

The pyramid is thought to have been built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, and is the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing. It contains three main chambers: the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber, which has two air shafts connecting it with the outside world. Strangely, though, there are two tunnels, about 20 centimetres by 20 centimetres, that extend from the north and south walls of the Queen’s Chamber and stop at stone doors before they reach the outside of the pyramid.   (see diagram).. . .

Compare The New Scientist Diagram of the known pyramid interior (link in article above) with the one provide me by my friend and Hollow Earth Artist Max Fyfield over 20 years ago.

It seems Today’s tomb explorers are getting closer to proving the truth as envisioned by Max Fyfield all-those-years-ago.. . . . EDITOR
