Iraq drought reveals 3,400-year-old palace hidden in reservoir
June 30, 2019– Mary Greeley News – A 3,400-year-old palace has been uncovered in a reservoir in the Kurdistan region of Iraq after a drought caused water levels to drop dramatically.
A Kurdish-German team of archeologists from the University of Tübingen and the Kurdistan Archaeology Organization made the discovery in the Mosul Dam reservoir, on the banks of the Tigris River.
According to a press release, the Kemune Palace can be dated to the time of the Mittani Empire, which dominated large parts of northern Mesopotamia and Syria from the 15th to the 14th century BC.
Mitanni, also called Hanigalbat in Assyrian or Naharin in Egyptian texts, was a Hurrian-speaking state in northern Syria and southeast Anatolia from c. 1500 to 1300 BC.
“The find is one of the most important archeological discoveries in the region in recent decades and illustrates the success of the Kurdish-German co-operation,” Kurdish archeologist Hasan Ahmed Qasim said in a press release.
The site was first discovered in 2010 when the water level in the reservoir was low, however this is the first time the team has been able to excavate.
The area was flooded after the Mosul Dam was constructed in the mid-1980s, but a lack of rain and water in southern Iraq caused the water level to drop during the summer and autumn of last year.
Ivana Puljiz from the Tübingen Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies (IANES) said the site shows a carefully designed building with massive interior mud-brick walls, some up to two meters thick.
Some of the walls are more than two meters high and some are made of plaster, Puljiz said.
“We have also found remains of wall paintings in bright shades of red and blue,” Puljiz said in a press release. “In the second millennium BCE, murals were probably a typical feature of palaces in the Ancient Near East, but we rarely find them preserved.”
“Discovering wall paintings in Kemune is an archeological sensation.”
Inside the palace, the team identified a number of rooms and were able to partially excavate eight of them.
The team also discovered 10 clay tablets, which are in the process of being translated.
In ancient times, the palace would have stood on an elevated terrace above the valley, only 20 meters from what was then the eastern bank of the Tigris River.
“In the Mittani period, a monumental terrace wall of mud bricks was built against the palace’s western front to stabilize the sloping terrain,” the press release reads. “Overlooking the Tigris Valley, the palace must have been an impressive sight.”
According to the researchers, the Mittani Empire is one of the least researched kingdoms of the Ancient Near East.
Mitanni came to be a regional power after the Hittite destruction of Amorite Babylon and a series of ineffectual Assyrian kings created a power vacuum in Mesopotamia.
At the beginning of its history, Mitanni’s major rival was Egypt under the Thutmosids. However, with the ascent of the Hittite Empire, Mitanni and Egypt struck an alliance to protect their mutual interests from the threat of Hittite domination. At the height of its power, during the 14th century BC, Mitanni had outposts centered on its capital, Washukanni, whose location has been determined by archaeologists to be on the headwaters of the Khabur River.
The Mitanni dynasty ruled over the northern Euphrates-Tigris region between c. 1475 and c. 1275 BC. Eventually, Mitanni succumbed to Hittite and later Assyrian attacks and was reduced to the status of a province of the Middle Assyrian Empire.
A car-size asteroid exploded in the atmosphere south of Puerto Rico. Weather satellite and radar captured the moment.
June 30, 2019– Mary Greeley News – At 4:25 p.m. Saturday, meteorologists noticed an unusually bright flash signature over Caribbean waters 170 miles south of Puerto Rico. Its light was visible in an area as large as Rhode Island — far too big to be a lightning strike. Plus there were no clouds in the area. It had to be something else. The answer turned out to be something out of this world.
A spattering of debris showed up on the radar of the National Weather Service’s office in San Juan, Puerto Rico. That’s a telltale sign of a meteor or asteroid impact.
Just how large was it? About 13 to 16 feet (4 or 5 meters) in diameter or the size of car.
As the asteroid entered the atmosphere, SpaceWeather.com reports that the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization’s infrasound station in Bermuda detected “airwaves” associated with the blast. Its recording station is located more than 1,000 miles away from where the asteroid hit, and yet the station “heard” it. But ordinary sound can’t travel that far; if it could, then everyone in Miami, Cuba and Puerto Rico would have heard the blast. It was a different type of sound: infrasound.
Humans can detect sounds between 20 and 20,000 hertz. That’s a measure of how many times per second air pockets vibrate back and forth, jiggling sensory preceptors in our ear that process sound. Dogs can hear frequencies twice as high — close to 40,000 Hz — which is why they’ll cringe over a dog whistle that we simply can’t hear.
Once you get to the low side of the spectrum, you’re talking “infrasound.” An infrasound wave may feature only a couple vibrations per second, making its frequency too low for us to hear. But that doesn’t mean the sound isn’t there.
The asteroid’s explosion produced a dramatic infrasound signal in the form of an “airwave” that rippled out around it. According to imagery shared by SpaceWeather.com, the asteroid split into at least three pieces. The explosion released energy equivalent to more than 6,000 tons of TNT, the fireball weighing 200 tons.
Because infrasound waves have a very long wavelength, they can travel long distances. Combining knowledge over where the asteroid struck with the magnitude of the signal picked up in Bermuda, meteor expert Peter Brown of the University of Western Ontario was able to conclude it was a “multi-meter sized near-Earth asteroid.”
The University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy wrote that this particular asteroid was probably small enough that it burned up entering Earth’s atmosphere (SpaceWeather.com wrote that small fragments of the asteroid, known as meteoroids, probably sprayed the ocean surface). But spaceborne objects somewhat larger can pose a threat to Earth dwellers, as evidenced by the February 2013 meteor that injured more than 1,000 people in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
NASA has identified most large near-Earth objects, the kind that could lead to a global catastrophe if they struck (expected to happen once every 700,000 years). But detecting smaller objects, still capable of damaging effects, has proved to be more of a challenge.
‘Breakthrough’ detection before impact In what it called a “breakthrough,” the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy declared in a media statement it had detected Saturday’s relatively small incoming asteroid in advance.
Its telescopes observed the asteroid “four times in a span of 30 minutes,” the release said. That was roughly seven hours before the asteroid struck. “At that time, the asteroid was only [310,000 miles] from Earth — or 1.3 times the distance to the Moon.”
When matched up with data from another telescope 100 miles away, “the asteroid’s entry path prediction improved significantly,” and it was deemed “likely” the asteroid would strike Earth.
It estimated objects the size of Saturday’s asteroid can be detected roughly half a day in advance, with larger ones — such as the 2013 Chelyabinsk event — several days out. That one was the size “of a small house.”
“For the first time, astronomers at the University of Hawaii have demonstrated that their ATLAS and Pan-STARRS survey telescopes can provide sufficient warning to move people away from the impact site of an incoming asteroid,” the institute wrote.

SpaceX Reveals That 5% Of Its Starlink Satellites Have Failed in Orbit So Far
June 30, 2019– Mary Greeley News – SpaceX says that three of its 60 controversial Starlink satellites have failed in orbit, as the company moves towards the first broadcasting test of its ambitious space internet constellation.
In a statement, the U.S.-based company revealed that 57 of its Starlink satellites were successfully communicating with stations back on Earth. Of these, 45 had reached their desired altitude of 550 kilometers with their onboard propulsion systems, five were still raising their altitude from initial orbits of 440 kilometers, and a further five were going through tests before doing so.
The company also revealed that two satellites would be deorbited on purpose “to simulate an end of life disposal”. And the company said that three of its satellites were “no longer in service” and would “passively deorbit” from their current altitude of about 440 kilometers, as the loss of contact meant the satellites could not be directed to use their onboard ion propulsion systems to manually deorbit.
The launch of these first 60 Starlink satellites occurred about a month ago on May 23. Since then SpaceX has been testing their capabilities and will soon begin examining how well they can broadcast the internet to the ground. In the statement, the company said it would test their latency by “streaming videos and playing some high bandwidth video games”.
But the failure rate so far of the satellites will be some cause for concern. Each satellite lacks a redundancy deorbit system in the event they fail, meaning the three satellites that have failed so far will simply be left in orbit to gradually descend and burn up in the atmosphere due to atmospheric drag, which could take about a year.
And a 95% success rate for Starlink so far, while high, is not perfect. With the company hoping to launch a grand total of 12,000 Starlink satellites by the early 2020s, operating at altitudes from 550 to 1,100 kilometers, that would equate to 600 dead satellites left in orbit.
“From my perspective, three spacecraft that are essentially ‘dead on arrival’ is not where SpaceX need to be with Starlink,” says Hugh Lewis from the University of Southampton in England, who works on modeling space debris. “I expect there to be other failures given that we are still at the beginning of the mission for most of the spacecraft and there are still many opportunities for problems.”
It’s worth noting this first batch of Starlink satellites is very much a test, and SpaceX will attempt to improve the reliability of the satellites in future based on the results from this initial launch. But with such a large number of satellites being planned, there have been considerable concerns about space junk from vast constellations like this.
“A 5% failure rate is actually better than most historical constellations, particularly for this size,” says Brian Weeden from the space advocacy organization Secure World Foundation. “But it is definitely not nearly good enough for a very large constellation of hundreds or thousands of satellites. The goal should be a failure rate of at least 1% or lower and even that will lead to dozens of dead satellites.”
A variety of other companies including OneWeb and Amazon also have their own plans for mega satellite constellations, with the goal of beaming internet to the ground to provide global high-speed satellite internet cover. If all these constellations come to fruition, they would add about 20,000 satellites into orbit; currently there are only 2,000 active satellites.
There have been concerns from the astronomy community too, with astronomers noting that the satellites were brighter than they expected, and thus could hamper observations of the night sky. In an effort to allay these concerns, SpaceX said it was monitoring the visibility of the satellites as they were raised to their final orbits.
“We have also proactively reached out to leading astronomy groups from around the world to discuss the Starlink mission profile, scientifically assess the impacts on astronomy activities and evaluate any helpful mitigations moving forward,” SpaceX added, noted Business Insider.
But it is the space junk concerns that are the current pressing issue, and SpaceX will need to prove they can address these failures on their future satellites to reduce the number of dead satellites in orbit. With no redundancy deorbit system on board, compared to others such as OneWeb who will have a handle on board each satellite that can be grabbed, any Starlink satellites that fail will simply be left in orbit until they re-enter the atmosphere on their own.
“For spacecraft at 550 kilometers [a 5% failure rate] is good enough, I think,” says Lewis. “But for a large number of spacecrafts at 1,100 kilometers this will not be good enough.”
