A #mini-planet orbiting in the frigid #outer reaches of the #solarsystem has a #Saturn-like #ring of #dust and #debris that #defies the rules of #physics, a new study has #revealed.

The planet in question is called #Quaoar and it's the #seventh largest of the known #dwarf #planets of which #Pluto is the #king. #Discovered in #2002 and about 697 miles wide (1,121 kilometers), Quaoar is one of the so-called #trans-Neptunian objects, small planets orbiting #beyond the solar system's outermost planet #Neptune.

Residing in the #KuiperBelt, the doughnut-shaped ring of rocky and icy debris in the outer solar system, Quaoar is a proud owner of its own #moon, the 100-mile-wide (160 km) #Weywot. And a recent observation campaign revealed that it also has a ring of material in its orbit.

That by itself wouldn't be so special. The gas giant Saturn is known to possess a whole series of rings. #Jupiter, Neptune and #Uranus also have some. One other trans-Neptunian object — #Haumea — has been found to have a ring, and the space rock #Chariklo that orbits between #Saturn and #Uranus also has one. So what exactly sets Quaoar's ring apart?

Quaoar's ring is at a very unusual #distance from its parent body. In fact, before astronomers discovered Quaoar's ring in observations from several telescopes conducted between 2018 and 2021, they had thought that it was impossible for a ring to exist at such a distance. With a radius of about 2,420 miles (3,885 km) from Quaoar's center, the ring is too far away from the dwarf planet that its gravity should no longer be able to keep the material dispersed. Instead, it should coalesce under its own gravity and form another moon, just like Weywot. By not having done that, the ring has breached what astronomers call the Roche limit, the first known ring around a #celestial body to have done so.

"What is so intriguing about this discovery around Quaoar is that the ring of material is much farther out than the Roche limit," Giovanni Bruno, an astronomer at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and one of the authors of the paper, said in a European #Space Agency (ESA) statement. "As a result of our observations, the classical notion that dense rings survive only inside the Roche limit of a planetary body must be thoroughly revised."

The ring was discovered during a series of occultations, essentially eclipses, when Quaoar passed between Earth and several more distant but much brighter stars. When an occultation occurs, the light of the background star temporarily dims. The effect is only visible to very sensitive telescopes and is frequently used to detect exoplanets orbiting stars in our Milky Way galaxy, which is why ESA's exoplanet hunter Cheops was among the telescopes watching these Quaoar occultations.

When astronomers analyzed the data, they realized that apart from the main dip in the background stars' brightness, they could detect two smaller drops. Since drops occurred before and after the main occultation, respectively, the researchers thought that Quaoar must be surrounded with a ring.

Several Earth-based telescopes also observed the occultations with similar results, but Cheops' data were particularly valuable as they proved that the odd dimmings were not caused by the effects of Earth's atmosphere.

Benjamin Fulford. He claims that Polish intelligence has informed that Prince William is actually the son of Jacob Rothschild. Holy Moly.

We could be watching the fall of British Royalty. It means that William is not eligible to become king.

Two Black Horses were spotted with a ‘captured’ White Horse and Black Flag outside Buckingham Palace.

“The custom of royal riders is to never bring a white horse without the presence of the king and queen.

The presence of a white horse means the presence of the king. When #King Charles is not present in this Cavalry, it means that he is dead,” an MI6 source says.

Since this happened when the death of Jacob Rothschild was announced, it implies he was the
real king of England.

We have also been informed by Polish intelligence that Prince William is really the son of Jacob #Rothschild.

Look at the photos below and decide for yourself.

GONE INTO HIDING

The #King has been diagnosed with an unnamed form of #cancer, Buckingham Palace has said.
A statement read: “During the King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
Prostate cancer has been ruled out.

Revealed: #KingCharles secretly profiting from the assets of #dead citizens

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/23/revealed-king-charles-secretly-profiting-from-the-assets-of-dead-citizens

Financial assets known as bona vacantia, owned by people who died without a will or known next of kin, are collected by the duchy. Over the last 10 years, it has collected more than £60m in the funds. It has long claimed that, after deducting costs, bona vacantia revenues are donated to charities.

However, only a small percentage of these revenues is being given to #charity. Internal duchy documents seen by the Guardian reveal how funds are secretly being used to #finance the renovation of properties that are owned by the #king and rented out for #profit.

Time for a #Revolution in #England!

An interesting admission from Ukrainian ex-Interior Minister Lutsenko who openly admitted that if it weren’t for #NATO intervention, #Ukraine would have surrendered in March 2022: That is good to read, it is about #Zelensky and his gang.

Almost at the end of this post
You can read more in this post, but it is a long one, you can skip all, there are only general news, but I recommend scrolling down to watch that short video at the end! #f ** #king interesting

here's the charming official animated music video of the title track from his most recent album (officially released today), #King of a #Land:
Lyrics:

If I was a king of a land
I’d free every woman and man
I’d let them go
I’d set them free, to serve You

If I knew every fish in the sea
And every bird in the tree
I’d hear their call
I’d hear them speak Your name

If I ran the schools of this world
I’d teach every boy and girl
I’d let them learn the truth
I’d let them know Your glory

If I had stairs to the sky
I’d raise my voice up there high
I’d want the world to hear
Your perfect words and thank You

If I had a mountain of gold
I’d try to feed every poor soul
And give them hope again
And let them taste Your bounty

If I could reach every dream
I still would search the unseen
To find a way
That leads us to Your mercy

If I was a king of a land
I’d free every woman and man
I’d let them go
I’d set them free to serve You
