A Message from Earth
What are these Earthlings trying to tell us? The featured message was broadcast from Earth towards the globular star cluster M13 in 1974. During the dedication of an upgrade to the Arecibo Observatory - then the largest single radio telescope in the world - a string of 1's and 0's representing the diagram was sent. This attempt at extraterrestrial communication was mostly ceremonial - humanity regularly broadcasts radio and television signals out into space accidentally. Even were this message received, M13 is so far away we would have to wait almost 50,000 years to hear an answer. The featured message gives a few simple facts about humanity and its knowledge: from left to right are numbers from one to ten, atoms including hydrogen and carbon, some interesting molecules, DNA, a human with description, basics of our Solar System, and basics of the sending telescope. Several searches for extraterrestrial intelligence are currently underway.

Train derailment near Reno sends more than 20 railcars off tracks
Updated on: March 27, 2026 / 1:00 PM PDT
Cleanup could take several days after a cargo train derailed along I-80 east near USA Parkway early Friday morning.
One travel lane of I-80 is also expected to be closed several hours while emergency crews respond.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office is urging the public to avoid the area to let crews work safely and efficiently.
If you are near USA Parkway, be aware of increased emergency vehicle presence, potential road closures, and traffic delays. Use alternate routes when possible.
Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue says the derailment was reported around 6:30 a.m. on Friday and involves about 25 box cars, although it could be as high as 30 cargo train cars.
TMFR says there's no hazardous spills, and no injuries are reported.
In a statement, Amtrak says California Zephyr Train 6 will be delayed in Sacramento due to the derailment, with no estimated start time except that "a lengthy delay is expected."
Amtrak tells 2 News Nevada that ticket sales for both directions have stopped and will not resume until the crash site is cleared. Passengers can get refunds. Amtrak is also selling bus tickets.
Photos of the scene show several train cars on their sides along a roadway.
Nevada Highway Patrol, TMFR, Storey County Fire and the sheriff all responded.
Since the derailment's location is in Washoe County, TMFR will lead the investigation. Storey County is assisting.
The NTSB has been notified of the incident.

First mentioned this two days ago

Seen nothing but not-meteors since then.

GREAT COMET 2026 - Is it CARRYING a MESSAGE from the PAST - I took a PICTURE
March 28, 2026
I’ve been tracking GREAT COMET 2026 using my backyard telescope…
But what if we’re looking at it the wrong way?
This comet is massive.
It returns over thousands of years.
And it carries material from deep time.
So here’s the thought…
What if long-period comets are not just objects…
but natural time capsules?
What if a civilization—ours or before us—needed a way to preserve knowledge across thousands… or even millions of years?
Would a comet be the perfect carrier?
This is not a conclusion.
This is a thought process.
Let’s connect the dots.
🔭 What you’ll see in this video:
My telescope images of Great Comet 2026
Brightness updates (naked-eye visibility soon)
Where and when to see it in the sky
A deeper look at comet cycles and cosmic events
A different way to think about what we’re observing
⚠️ Viewing tips:
Do NOT use binoculars near the Sun
Look toward the western sky after sunset
Best visibility window: early April (perihelion around April 3–4)
Better viewing expected after April 10 as it rises in the evening sky
📸 Challenge:
Take a selfie with the comet in the background if it gets bright enough.
This is a rare moment — don’t miss it.
💬 What do you think?
Are comets just ancient objects…
or could they be carrying something more?
