Betelgeuse - The Dying Red Star by Bari Demers




The Big News about Betelgeuse:

Betelgeuse lies 640 light-years away within the Orion Constellation. The massive red star is the eighth brightest making it only second to its neighbor Rigel. Our Supergiant has now reached it's end, exausting the production of nuclear fusion and causing a gravitational collapse, reaching its new life of a Supernova. The Supernova will be so luminous we may even see it here on Earth.
It's not expected to go Supernova within 2012 as we like it to do, but it actually may take another million years. But it sure would be amazing to see Betelgeuse go Supernova in our life time.

Twas the night before Christmas by J. Robb Montana

A new twist to a classic Christmas  poem by Clement Clarke Moore.   As a freelance science-writer   I thought it would be fitting to make a playful performance by Camilla. It's my attempt to share the work Camilla and NASA . "Twas The Night Before Christmas" now includes  the official mascot of NASA SDO Camilla.

Who is Camilla
Even though Camilla focus is on education and public outreach of NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory ( Little SDO), the little yellow rubber chicken interacts with it's Facebook followers encouraging them to share the solar effects of our sun. 

Camilla quote,"...While I do focus on the Sun and Space Weather, I also train to become an Astrochick and visit various NASA Centers and learn from so many people at NASA and other institutions..."

 You can join Camilla on Facebook and Google Plus.


Twas The Night Before Christmas Video 

Here is my version of Twas The Night Before Christmas in a video with Camilla has the host.
Enjoy my twist on the verse :
  

Twas the night before Chrismtas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
The Moon on the breast of the new Eclipse
Gave the lustre of dark red into the night

When, What To My Wondering Eyes Should Appear,
But A Large Ship, and something inside
With a little Yellow Chick, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Camilla - the beloved Little SDO

More Rapid Than Eagles Her Coursers They Came,
And She Whistled, and Shouted, and Called Them By Name!

The Reindeer Were Stirring," Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now Prancer and Vixen!

On Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
To The Top of The World, We Must Go!
Now Dash Away! Dash Away! Dash Away All!

When They Meet with An Obstacle, Mounted in the Sky
So Up To The House Top The Coursers They Flew
With a Ship full of Toys and The Little Yellow Chick - Camilla Too...

And Then, In A Twinkling, I Heard Someone Run 
The Prancing and Pawing Of Each Little Sun

As I Drew In My Head, As I Was Turning Around,
Down The Chimney Camilla Came A Bound.

Dressed All In Fur, From  Her Head to Her Foot,
Her Clothes Were All Tarnished With Ashes And Soot

And The Thought Occured, Where Had She Been,
It The Came Like A Flash, Camilla Must of Been At 
The Rim of The All Mighty Sun.

But Wait, It Was True, Camilla Had Someone Too.
He Was Chubby and Plump And Not Even Blue!
And I laughed When I Saw Him, His Belly Full As Jelly! 
Camilla Was Like An Aunta,She brought us Santa

They Filled All The Stockings Full of Food
Both in The Best Of Moods

And With That They Sprang With A Whistle
And Away They Flew Like The Down Of A Thistle.
But I heard Them Both," Ere They Flew Out of Sight,
"Happy Christmas To All, And To All A Good Night!" 

Merry Christmas everyone and please share my video to your friends and family - Let's make it a Christmas Special reaching out to the children and families across the world.

The Power of Star Trek by J. Robb Montana



Bari Marcus Anthony 




On a warm summer's night in 1967, as any young boy would do, I spent my time looking up at the stars, watching meteorites shoot across the night sky, dreaming of traveling across the universe, destined for an unknown planet;
"...To boldly go where no man has gone before..."  

Within a small town called Vernon, in the southern Okanagan valley of British Columbia, my summer holidays were coming to an end. But, I was really excited to watch the newest science fiction TV series, Star Trek produced by Gene Roddenberry.

The year before Star Trek, another science fiction TV series had me glued to the tube, Lost in Space produced by Irwin Allen.

 I was hooked, all my days were spent playing and dreaming about Space Exploration.  

My world suddenly became Star Trek, actually imagining being part of the crew along with Captain James T. Kirk. Dreaming, drawing and playing Star Trek was a big part of my life growing into the thoughts of becoming an astronaut. Little did I know at the time, only American astronauts were recruited by NASA.

I religiously watched every episode of Star Trek, studying the rolls of each actor:

1.     James T. Kirk played by William Shatner
2.     Spock played by Leonard Nimoy
3.     Bones - Dr. Leonard McCoy played by DeForest Kelley
4.     Scotty played by James Doohan
5.     Uhura played by Nichelle Nichols
6.     Sulu played by George Takei
7.     Chekov played by Walter Koenig

The original Star Trek series lasted three years, but that didn't stop anything. I watched all the re-runs of Star Trek at least ten times. 

Then came Star Wars by George Lucas; space exploration was back in full swing when Paramount Pictures produced eleven Star Trek films. 
The Power of Star Trek rocked across the world where Trekkie's dressed the part at Star Trek Conventions, including annual conventions in Las Vegas.

Zip 10 years later, my calling as an astronaut faded, turning my interest into creative writing.

The Power of Star Trek stirred my interest into science fiction script writing, where today I'm writing a screenplay, Synopsis:Black Angels - a science-fiction thriller by author Bari Marcus Anthony.

The Days of Darkness

The Days of Darkness by Bari Marcus Anthony 


The days of darkness are imprinted in my past, just like it was yesterday.

To this very day I remember the sour smell of whiskey bottles lying on the floor beside the couch where my mom was sleeping. Her limp body lay motionless with her right hand grasping the twenty-sixer as if it were her life line.

I was doing what most five year old would do, playing with my new GI Joe on this cold winter day.
 It was late afternoon when my stomach began to growl, quickly realizing noon hour past.
 In our house we never ate breakfast, so lunch was a big part of my routine. My thin little body was so starved with malnutrition it wasn't uncommon to faint.

 I stepped quietly into the living room of our small home, looking for my mom. I knee quietly beside her, reached over and nudged her arm to wake-up. She moaned but didn't move, so I used all my might to shake her. The reaction was over whelming to say the least.  My mom swung her arm into my chest, knocking me flat on the floor. It didn't hurt thinking it was some sort of game. I quickly got up and jumped on top of her, yelling," Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Get Up!"

Had I realized this wasn't a game my instincts would have kick-in, but not this time.

It happened all in slow motion, wakening  mother bear. She grabbed  me by my arms, feeling intent pain, swinging me over her shoulders and racing me back to my room.

My weak little body was plunged into the darkness of a closet filled with dirty laundry and empty whiskey bottles. I just remember the pain in my back as I hit what must of been the whiskey bottles. The bedroom door slams shut and then complete silence once again.

The pungent smell was so overwhelming it made me gasp for fresh air. It wasn't long before pressing my face up against the cracks of the folding doors.

 A river of tears streaked my face with stains," MOM! OH MOM! Please Mom..." is vivid in my mind this very day.

 It wasn't long before I fell asleep, hours past before waking up to find my mom tucking me in my bed.

She washed my face with a wet washcloth, removing dry-stain tears from swollen cheeks. My mom very carefully slide her fingers across my long bangs, she kissed my forehead," I'm so sorry...can you forgive me Dex?" I nodded in satisfaction, knowing my mom's nicer personality had come to visit her son.

What seemed like a lifetime of abuse has been itched in my mind for eternity on those days of darkness.

SciFI Resource Material -Black Angels



Black Angels


An imaginative thrilling adventure about alien civilization before earth's last ice age over 250,000 years ago.

Writer Bari Marcus Anthony  creates an exciting screenplay using archaeological and religious evidence found today by scientists.

Under the Gulf of Khambhat

In 2001 India's Oceanantic Institute discovered monuments seven miles from shore deep under the Gulf of Khambhat. Ancient civilization artifacts have been found to date as far back as 32,000 years. According to India's Oceanantic Institute, this civilization was covered over by ice age melting over 9000 years ago. 


Legendary Lord Krishna

Hindu scholars believe this civilization is the legendary city of Dvaraka, home to Lord Krishna, an ancient powerful god in Hindu culture today. Hindus ancient scripts record a massive attack on Lord Krishna ancient city of Dvaraka by his elder brother, Devaki. It is believed Devaki attacked Krishna from the sky raining down energy weapons resembling lightning bolts. Krisha retalulated by releasing powerful arrows that roared like thunder. A massive war of particle rays from the sun finally destroyed Devaki flying machine saving Krisha's people. Krisha goes on to hide his city from further destruction, parting the sea, swallowing up the ancient city of Dvaraka.

City of Tiahuanaco

Ancient aliens civilizations have been discovered throughout planet earth,including stunning facts in Peru. High above in the Andes mountains,an elevation of 12,500 ft above sea level, lies an ancient city known as Tiahuanaco, located in a mountainous region east of the southern part of Lake Titicaca. Under the Lake of Titicaca scientists found monuments and facial sculptures resembling extraterrestrial beings and an ancient golden city called Paititi founded by the Inca dynasty, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, who were sent down to the Earth by the blazing of the sun.

In Inka mythology, Manco Capac and Mama 0cllo, children of the Sun, emerged from the depths of Lake Titicaca to found their empire within Tiahuanaco.


Big Rock

Just outside of Calgary, Alberta,Canada is a small town named Okotoks. 10 km southwest of Okotoks,for centuries, lies an ancient rectangular rock called Big Rock weighting in at 16,500 tons, measuring 134 ft. long with a depth of 29 ft and a width of over 59 ft. It is a massive monument that appears to have been dropped from the sky, due to a corner piece over half a mile from the Big Rock. 


The Adventure

All of these artifact accounts of ancient astronauts caught James Montana Scripts.


Writer Bari Demers has pieced together an adventurous science-fiction screenplay, BLACK ANGELS. 

An adventurous account of ancient astronauts arriving over 100,000 years ago on Earth, landscaping architectural wonders across the globe. SIRIANS were the first to cross genetics with APE-MAN, apparently improving mankind.  What they didn't realize, was the consequences of speeding up evolution.  Mankind wasn't ready and it made us into who we are today, a blood-thirsty intelligent race of human beings. Throughout our hostel history, mankind has conquered and destroyed anything in its path.  We may have the intelligence, but we always resort back to violence. 

BLACK ANGELS will take you on a journey of our ancient ancestors, explaining the scientific theories and what happened to them. 

Asteroid 99942 Apophis


Asteroid 99942  by Bari Demers

James Montana

The asteroid, 99942 Apophis is headed our way to Earth in April 13th 2029, but it will pass by earth approximately 35,000km from earth. Sounds safe enough doesn't it? 
 Well it is, but the only drawback is this - the Apophis asteroid follows into our keyhole of earth's gravity which will pull it back to earth 7 years later. It could hit earth, headed directly towards California and Hawaii. 
But relax, we have until 2036 to think about what to do about it. NASA along with private enterprises are already contemplating how to land on asteroids for the purpose of mining minerals.

The Great Wizard of Titan

Black Angels
[In memory of Jenni Michelle 1980]

I can't remember my last visit to Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, but it's like yesterday.  Still can hear the jolly voice, crystal clear within the deep icy caves. To this very day, 170 years later, it still brings chills down my spine.



http://jrobbmontana.com/home.html
Black Angels by Bari Marcus Anthony 
I was a young Field Science Officer on my second tour to Saturn's famous moon.  Just another typical day, exploring the phenomena of air pockets along the surface with sandy dunes dotted with rivers and lakes of liquid methane. 

Scientist before me made suggestions of a possible underground cavern filled with salt water. It was my job to explore this theory in detail. There were even rumors told of the possibility of oxygen trapped below.  Encased in my life preserving gear I cautiously entered deep within the cave.

I edged deeper until I found what looked like a transparent bubble. I reached my hand pressing against the membrane, poking through effortlessly. The rest of my body carefully stepped into what was an exhaust of rushing air accelerating my entire body, making me feel like a super hero. Cautiously removing my breathing apparatus, I remember the sweet taste of basil as the trapped air filled my lungs, giving me an instantaneous surge of power.

 I believe that it was then a spirit of the great gods grabbed my uniform and dragged me through a secret entrance, setting me down in front of a vast underground turquoise ocean filled with sea monsters that would make sharks look like puppies.

 Dusting myself off from the rude awakening, I realized the pearl sand resembled icing sugar. Suddenly I heard a thundering echo of laughter from a wizard disguised as an old man with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his lips. 

He turned to me and said the words that would change my destiny, "What can I do for you young man?"

 I replied hesitantly, "Who...who are you?"

 He looked at me in the eye with a gaze that was as steady as an old oak tree, then he looked sideways over his right shoulder. That's when I noticed two bundles of fury creatures resembling what I believed to be extinct baby white tigers. At least that's what I heard from my studies of early earth history.  Passive little animals busy licking their paws, paying little attention to me.
Wizard drawn by Bill Richards



The wizard turned his full attention on me, voice echoing, " What brings you to my home?" 

Jumping back surprised and said,"I've come from Earth to discover the ocean before me."

The wizard leaned closer,looking  straight into my eyes with not even a frown, " We don't have any oceans here, my son."

I could see the cavern filled with the most beautiful turquoise ocean as far as you could see. 

 I replied," What ever do you mean? There's a huge ocean in front of us...can't you see it?"


Oh, you mean that", he said sweeping his hand across before him," Is that what you call it...an ocean?  My son, this is called the Sea of Life."

He paused for a minute, chuckling to himself," Rather, you may even say it's called the Sea of Regeneration."

He sat down on the only bleached white rock for miles around," It's obvious you never seen the 'Sea of Life'  before, so I will give you your first dip free."

The wizard reaches for something in his pocket, being careful not to reveal it to me. My eyes strained to see what was in the palm of his hand, but he clutched it so tight. He continues," This is a very good business move on my part.  You see, after you have your first sweet taste of our sea, you will certainly come back for more. As a matter of fact I can bet you will bring me all the precious gold you can get your hands on." 

Having said that, with one smooth motion he plunged me deep within the sea of Life, saying," Your life has changed forever!"

Gasping for air I came up rushing out of the salt water as if I was another man, a much younger man full of energy. A new release in life which I never felt before. Stunned and invigorated by the glowing blue light, now apart of me, I asked," What is it? What makes me feel so alive. So new? " 

The wizard and his two little fury tigers watched me with great intensity as I contemplated the orb of beauty within me. Out of complete surprise, one of the tigers spoke as you or I,saying," Now you are part of the club. You will certainly live forever."


"Forever? How is that possible?", It occurred to me my brain knew the answer even before I asked. It was if I could calculate any riddle or mathematical equation within seconds in my head.  At first it was overwhelming, but then the glow within me seemed more natural, as if I had this my whole life.

 "You see my friend," the Wizard chuckled, " Your brain has always been engineered this way. You just never knew how to access it. " Once again he paused and then finally said," Now my friend, it's important you drink a glass of my miracle water once every two days or the effect will wear off."

He handed me a blue crystal the size of a marble, " Take this with you at all times. It will remind you when your system is getting low and it's time to regenerate."

It became all so clear to me now, the cloudiness was all but gone. Regeneration of our DNA is so simple, a child could figure it out. After all of this time who knew the power of knowledge was just under the surface, just waiting to get out. All the questions were answered with ease.

I nodded with full understanding, eagerly thanking the jolly old wizard, " What a wonderful gift you have bestowed on me."

At first, the lifetime commitment sounded a little scary but at the same time exhilarating. Quickly I realized my body became this finely toned super machine with powers that I never thought existed. Not only was I much younger and stronger, I could actually fly!

With this realization I said," How much gold will buy me a couple of liters of this precious water?"

It was right there and then I knew I could never be without it again. The new potion or should I say drug that hooked me for life. True. I'm 170 years old, but at what cost? Today if I had the choice I would clearly say NO.

Our Suns Weather is a Real Event

How Our Sun's Weather Effects our Earth

by Bari Marcus Anthony
Our Sun's Weather is a REAL Event which can cause havoc on Earth's weather. To understand its effects,we need a better understanding our Earth's core.
Earth's Core
The core is composed of molten iron - which help create our electric magnetic fields around our Earth. The electric magnetic fields protect us from the Sun ejecting a constant force of shock-waves of hot gas called Corona Mass Ejection (CME), which crash into our small planet at the speed of light.

Our Sun
Deep within the core of our sun, it's constantly squeezing hydrogen atoms to fuse into heavy atoms called helium. The effect rises to the surface of our sun, called convection.
Granules from 1000 km across to Super Imposed granules of over 35,000 km are sited by one of NASA's spacecraft called SOHO.
Making it more interesting, our sun has Ultra Violet Super Halo's of Gas called the Corona. And on top of that,on the surface of our sun you can also see White Regions where gas escapes.
Spectacular Ionized Loops of Gas ten times the size of earth with an average of 60,000 degrees celcius are dancing across the surface of our sun in a grand show, forming Sunspots. The Sunspots release the intense force of the Corona Mass Ejection of hot gases, pointed in Earth's direction.To put our Earth into perspective to our Sun, it would take one million earths or one thousand Jupiter's to fill our sun. And the best part; our sun is one of the smallest stars in our universe.
Aurora Borealis & Aurora Australis
One of the great effects of the Sun's gases crashing onto Earth's magnetic field is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn. It dances across our Northern Poles showcasing spectacular colours of greenish blues to radiant reds.
Dancing of the Spirits were well known to the First Nations People and considered sacred.
In our Southern Poles the same effects are identical to our Northern sister, known as the Aurora Australis.
The Solar Storm Effect
Our Sun's solar storm can caused havoc on our electrical systems. The worst effect were record on 1859 and as recent as 1989. It is possible for another outcome on May 2013 when the Suns Magnetic Poles completes a reverse in its poles. The Sun's weather will drastically effect our satellites, orbiting spacecrafts and possibly astronauts.
NASA's Superhero's
NASA has some remarkable spacecrafts collecting data. SOHO, Little SDO and the twins sisters called STEREO.
STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) give a remarkable 360 view of our sun with its effects recorded by Little SDO which travels the same speed as Earth, over 69,000 miles per hour in order to feed data to its home station in New Mexico,United States. This special orbit is called geosynchronous orbit or GEO staying in constant orbital contact with ground control.
Forecasting Our Future
With better warning NASA can forecast our Sun's weather and at the same time capturing nature at its rawest.
With the Sun coming to a peak on May of 2013,it is a real concern to us. We may have an even stronger disaster then the one of 1859.

What Will Happen to Us on Earth?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 satellites have reveal that our sun, as well as our entire solar system is moving into an interstellar energy cloud and can effect power on Earth up to 3 years - causing power failure throughout the world. This Solar Event will take place 2012 - 2013 with the Sun peaking in May 2013.

What Can You Do?
NASA say's it a good time to stock up on food & water, plus check into power sources to keep your way of living bearable. With such a shut down of the power grid system world wide it will effect our way of living throughout our planet.
