A European researcher has interpreted carvings in a 32,500-year-old ivory tablet as a pattern of the same stars that we see in the sky today in the constellation Orion. The tablet is a sliver of ivory from the tusk of a mammoth — a large woolly animal like an elephant. Mammoths are extinct today.

The 12th Planet, Planet X Files, Space and Science Anomalies
The Twelfth Planet : Book I of the Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin; This is Sitchin's first book. By translating Sumerian texts he was able to come up with the history of aliens visiting our planet about 450,00 years ago. They came from a planet called Marduk or Nibiru which is on a huge eliptical orbit around our Sun. It takes about 3,600 years for one orbit. Some of them apparently jump over to our planet as theirs approaches then leave as it leaves this part of the solar system.Do planets circle our closest stellar neighbors, the system loved by science fiction: Alpha Centauri?

"How did a suicidal robot end up here?" It had taken over 20 years of painstaking preparation and research to plan his suicide. He had to learn everything there was to know about the science of sentience. read more It was just how the world worked: you get to time travel, but do you end up chatting with Cleopatra? No, you end up back at the same coffee shop where four years of deadlines slithered through your fingers. read more
LHC Machine Outreach
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sits in a circular tunnel 27 km in circumference. The tunnel is buried around 50 to 175 m. underground. It straddles the Swiss and French borders on the outskirts of Geneva. The first collisions at an energy of 3.5 TeV per beam took place on 30th March 2010.Science - News for Your Neurons | Wired.com
Photo: Joe Pugliese There is one version of Craig Venter’s life story where he would’ve been a dutiful scientist at the National Institutes of Health, a respected yet anonymous researcher in genetics, perhaps. Thankfully, Venter saw that story line developing—and set about making sure it never happened. Instead, in 1992 Venter left the NIH to head the nonprofit Institute for Genomic Research.

Nibiru has been linked to NASA, and is also sometimes referred to or confused with Planet X, another supposed world for which there is no evidence.
US/LHC - Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland is opening new vistas on the deepest secrets of the universe, stretching the imagination with newly discovered forms of matter, forces of nature, and dimensions of space. This site provides general information about the Large Hadron Collider and detailed information about American participation in the LHC accelerator and experiments. U.S. LHC participation is supported by the US Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation .The Moebius Strip © Cie Gilles Jobin 2007 (Image: Dorothée Thébert) The first Collide@CERN-Geneva prize in Dance and Performance was today awarded by jury to the 47-year-old Swiss-born dancer and choreographer Gilles Jobin for his proposal to use interventions and dance to explore the relationship between mind and body at the world's largest particle physics laboratory.

The Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA) announces the availability of Data Release 5 as of March 8, 2011. New in this release are a new, interactive footprint interface (pictured); multi-wavelength source lists; high-level WFC3 science products from the Early-Release Science and the Multi-Cycle Treasury program CANDELS; and the ability to obtain source information directly from the Interactive Display overlay. DR5 also completes the processing of the WFPC2 data, all of which are now public.
