The leftist cultural imperialists who took control of Virginia last election thanks to immigration and demographic shifts are going full steam ahead with their plan to fundamentally transform the state into a mirror image of San Francisco.
From CNN:
The Virginia state Senate voted Wednesday to advance a “red flag law” bill, one of many gun safety measures Democrats are looking to move through the state Legislature after taking control of both chambers. The bill — SB 240, also known as an extreme risk protective order — creates a procedure for authorities, including law enforcement officers and attorneys, to apply for an emergency substantial risk order to prohibit “a person who poses a substantial risk of injury to himself or others from purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm.” Under the proposal, if such an order is issued, a judge or magistrate can issue a search warrant to remove firearms from that person.

newswars--2020-01-24--Triggered! Logan Paul Deletes Kaitlin Bennett Interview Live On Air

During Logan Paul ’ s Impaulsive podcast on Thursday , the popular YouTuber decided to trash Infowars ’ Kaitlin Bennett before deleting his interview with her from his YouTube channel .
Paul began by saying Bennett has been “ going viral ” over the past few weeks for “ hassling people and people handling her appropriately .
The way she probably deserves to be handled for her antics.
” He then claimed Kaitlin goes out “ looking for trouble ” and that most social media users don ’ t like her because they ’ re predominantly liberal .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like her , ” said Paul ’ s co-host Mike Majlak , who was brought in to prevent him from doing controversial things like attending a flat-earth conference .
“ I ’ m actually gon na remove the Kaitlin Bennett video right now , ” Paul interrupted .
Next , Majlak admitted to “ going down a hole ” of Bennett videos for an hour the previous night .
Paul and his co-hosts then played an out-of-context clip of Kaitlin arguing with a police officer and declared the cop to be a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s support for law enforcement is somehow fictional because of the out-of-context video and that she is the one who handpicks crazy liberals for her videos .
Anyone who has watched enough Infowars livestreams knows there is no need to cherry-pick footage to show the world videos of loony leftists .
“ It ’ s painful and it hurts me to watch , ” Majlak confessed .
Paul tried to make his “ Babysitter ” Majlak feel better by telling him “ she ’ s , on social anyways , completely discredited.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ how she goes out in public safely , ” Paul ignorantly stated , adding , “ probably because she ’ s always got a camera on her , she ’ s probably carrying.
” Paul , who has been the center of controversy in the past , said he tried to give her the benefit of the doubt , but that he can ’ t because she “ showed zero signs of change of improvement.
” Essentially , he ’ s triggered that Bennett refuses to bow to the political and social engineers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paul ’ s assistance .
“ We had her on the show , and she ’ s the first guest that I ’ ll say I ’ m ashamed I had her on the show and for that reason , I ’ m deleting the episode with Kaitlin Bennett the gun girl , ” Paul vented .
Majlak stepped in again to predict Bennett ’ s reaction to their deletion of her interview , saying she ’ d likely say they ’ re offended by her views .
He then went on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ civil , “ she ’ s antagonizing gay and lesbians , she ’ s going to Bernie Sanders crowds and getting kicked out and starting fucking problems at the rally.
” Continuing , Majlak alleged nobody thinks Kaitlin is driving better discourse in America and that “ the only people that side with her are the very , very fringe right.
” This is simply a poor attempt by establishment ass-kissers to publicly shame Bennett so young Americans are reluctant to view her content out of fear of being negatively judged by their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ ashamed ” of interviewing Infowars ’ Alex Jones too ?

President Donald Trump has unveiled the new logo for the “sixth military branch,” dubbed Space Force.
In social media posts Friday, the president announced his vaunted new branch of the military had received a new logo.
“After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military!” Trump wrote.
Last week the US Space Force unveiled its new uniforms, which was widely criticized for its camouflage design.
Many on Twitter claimed the agency’s new logo resembled the symbol used by the fictional Star Fleet on the sci-fi series Star Trek.
When he first officially unveiled Space Force last month, President Trump referred to outer space as the “world’s newest warfighting domain.”
“Amid grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital,” President Trump said during a speech at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “And we’re leading, but we’re not leading by enough. But very shortly, we’ll be leading by a lot.”
“The Space Force will help us deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground,” he added.

newswars--2020-01-24--Secession in Virginia Would Defuse the State’s Conflict over Guns

Earlier this month , West Virginia state senator Charles Trump introduced a senate resolution requesting that the citizens of Frederick County consider joining West Virginia .
That is , the West Virginia Senate invited the county to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia .
The Senate later adopted the resolution .
Resolutions like these don ’ t change any laws , but the Senate vote was in part a response to the dissatisfaction voiced by some Virginians over the legislative agenda of the new government in Richmond .
As Tho Bishop noted on Monday here at Mises.org , many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of other counties outside Democrat-controlled areas of the state ’ s east and northeast , are concerned about mounting efforts by the state government to impose new gun ownership restrictions—among other new regulations—on Virginia residents .
If opponents of the current ideological winds blowing in Virginia find themselves in a permanent minority , it may very well be that the only method of defending the minority position is by leaving the state .
But “ exit ” can theoretically be obtained in more than one way .
It can be done on an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single person relocates .
Or it can be done through jurisdictional secession .
In the case of Virginia , there would be nothing novel about some parts of the state breaking off from the Richmond-controlled government .
The same thing happened during and after the American Civil War .
At the time , the mountain South was less inclined to support slavery—and more inclined to be Unionist—than plantation areas .
This was true for mountain areas of Virginia as well .
Northern politicians took advantage of this split and promised independence — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ western counties of Virginia—if they would break away from the Virginia government controlled by wealthy planters .
Although the process by which this happened was legally sketchy , the US Supreme Court nonetheless put its stamp of approval on West Virginia ’ s secession in 1871 .
There are practical obstacles to secession , to be sure .
Businesses would be subject to different regulations , and the criminal code would be slightly different for county residents as the county switched to a new state .
State budgets would have to be changed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law , of course , would remain unchanged in all areas , and matters of global diplomacy would be virtually unaffected .
Congress ’ s involvement need not extend much beyond the apportioning of members of Congress once the next decennial census comes along .
Unfortunately , status quo bias would cause many to emotionally reject any change .
The way things have “ always ” been done will be trotted out as justification for keeping things the way they are , essentially forever .
But is there a moral argument against secession @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ideas of self-determination and human rights seriously .
If minority groups find themselves perennially in the minority , what recourse do they have if boundaries are also permanently fixed ?
Some might suggest these people can move across state lines .
But since state lines could be hundreds of miles away in a large state like Virginia , a forced diaspora would likely require minority populations to disband their communities .
Some suggests members of the minority ought to trust the court system to protect their rights .
But American history is littered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courts either refuse to take action , or explicitly side with governments against the rights of citizens .
Even if court decisions go the minority ’ s way in the short term , there ’ s no fighting the majority in the long term .
After all , judges are not immune from the currents of ideological change as imposed by majority groups — and the law schools they control .
Thus , as economist and social theorist Ludwig von Mises noted in his 1927 book Liberalism : [ W ] hen [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before a magistrate or any administrative official as a party to a suit or petition , he stands before men whose political thought is foreign to him because it developed under different ideological influences .
… At every turn the member of a national minority is made to feel that he lives among strangers and that he is , even if the letter of the law denies it , a second-class citizen .
Writing in the decades following the First World War — when national boundaries were being redrawn along ethnic lines , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that presented minority communities who found themselves in larger jurisdictions controlled by groups who differed in their backgrounds and ideologies .
When it came to protecting their rights , minority groups could not simply place their trust in the next election , or in the hands of government judges , and hope for the best .
Often , the most peaceful and reliable strategy was to redraw borders so that minority communities might ally with other sympathetic groups .
Mises continues : The right of self-determination in regard to the question of membership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the inhabitants of a particular territory , whether it be a single village , a whole district , or a series of adjacent districts , make it known , by a freely conducted plebiscite , that they no longer wish to remain united to the state to which they belong at the time , but wish either to form an independent state or to attach themselves to some other state , their wishes are to be respected and complied with .
This is the only feasible and effective way of preventing revolutions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that over time , populations and ideologies change in various times and places .
People migrate and culture changes .

Earlier this month, West Virginia state senator Charles Trump introduced a senate resolution requesting that the citizens of Frederick County consider joining West Virginia.
That is, the West Virginia Senate invited the county to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia. The Senate later adopted the resolution.
Resolutions like these don’t change any laws, but the Senate vote was in part a response to the dissatisfaction voiced by some Virginians over the legislative agenda of the new government in Richmond. As Tho Bishop noted on Monday here at Mises.org, many residents of Frederick County, like residents of other counties outside Democrat-controlled areas of the state’s east and northeast, are concerned about mounting efforts by the state government to impose new gun ownership restrictions—among other new regulations—on Virginia residents.
If opponents of the current ideological winds blowing in Virginia find themselves in a permanent minority, it may very well be that the only method of defending the minority position is by leaving the state. But “exit” can theoretically be obtained in more than one way. It can be done on an individual basis, of course, where a single person relocates. Or it can be done through jurisdictional secession.
In the case of Virginia, there would be nothing novel about some parts of the state breaking off from the Richmond-controlled government. The same thing happened during and after the American Civil War. At the time, the mountain South was less inclined to support slavery—and more inclined to be Unionist—than plantation areas. This was true for mountain areas of Virginia as well.
Northern politicians took advantage of this split and promised independence — and thus greater self determination to the western counties of Virginia—if they would break away from the Virginia government controlled by wealthy planters. Although the process by which this happened was legally sketchy, the US Supreme Court nonetheless put its stamp of approval on West Virginia’s secession in 1871.
Some Practical Considerations
There are practical obstacles to secession, to be sure. Businesses would be subject to different regulations, and the criminal code would be slightly different for county residents as the county switched to a new state. State budgets would have to be changed to reflect the new borders.
Federal law, of course, would remain unchanged in all areas, and matters of global diplomacy would be virtually unaffected. Congress’s involvement need not extend much beyond the apportioning of members of Congress once the next decennial census comes along.
Unfortunately, status quo bias would cause many to emotionally reject any change. The way things have “always” been done will be trotted out as justification for keeping things the way they are, essentially forever.
Secession: A Moral Imperative
But is there a moral argument against secession from Virginia? Not if we take ideas of self-determination and human rights seriously.
If minority groups find themselves perennially in the minority, what recourse do they have if boundaries are also permanently fixed? Some might suggest these people can move across state lines. But since state lines could be hundreds of miles away in a large state like Virginia, a forced diaspora would likely require minority populations to disband their communities. Some suggests members of the minority ought to trust the court system to protect their rights. But American history is littered with Supreme Court decision in which the courts either refuse to take action, or explicitly side with governments against the rights of citizens.
Even if court decisions go the minority’s way in the short term, there’s no fighting the majority in the long term. After all, judges are not immune from the currents of ideological change as imposed by majority groups — and the law schools they control. Thus, as economist and social theorist Ludwig von Mises noted in his 1927 book Liberalism:
[W]hen [a member of the minority] appears before a magistrate or any administrative official as a party to a suit or petition, he stands before men whose political thought is foreign to him because it developed under different ideological influences. … At every turn the member of a national minority is made to feel that he lives among strangers and that he is, even if the letter of the law denies it, a second-class citizen.
Writing in the decades following the First World War — when national boundaries were being redrawn along ethnic lines, Mises was acutely aware of the problems that presented minority communities who found themselves in larger jurisdictions controlled by groups who differed in their backgrounds and ideologies.
When it came to protecting their rights, minority groups could not simply place their trust in the next election, or in the hands of government judges, and hope for the best. Often, the most peaceful and reliable strategy was to redraw borders so that minority communities might ally with other sympathetic groups. Mises continues:
The right of self-determination in regard to the question of membership in a state thus means: whenever the inhabitants of a particular territory, whether it be a single village, a whole district, or a series of adjacent districts, make it known, by a freely conducted plebiscite, that they no longer wish to remain united to the state to which they belong at the time, but wish either to form an independent state or to attach themselves to some other state, their wishes are to be respected and complied with. This is the only feasible and effective way of preventing revolutions and civil and international wars.
Mises recognized that over time, populations and ideologies change in various times and places. People migrate and culture changes. Majorities can be turned into minorities, and vice versa. This, Mises recognized, nonetheless does not render the legal and property rights of the minority groups null and void. Communities are still entitled to the right of self-determination, even when in the minority. Strategies and changes must therefore be adopted to protect these minority groups. One of the most practical strategies, Mises undestood, was changing borders of political jurisdictions to fit the realities of the populations within those borders.
As Mises noted, to force members of conflicting groups to live side by side within a single jurisdiction is problematic to say the least. It only encourages each side to become ever more fanatical in its drive to gain control of the machinery of government so as to oppress the other side. This is why Mises presented his plan as a means of avoiding violence: increasingly intense competition over centralized institutions of political power tends to lead to violence in the long term. The answer lies in decentralization and secession. Conversely, the potential for violence is minimzed by minimizing the state power. In the presence of a mostly laissez-faire government, neither side has much reason to worry about who controls the state. But the stakes climb ever higher as the state gains more power over peoples’ lives.
But “minimizing state power” certainly isn’t what is going on in Virginia right now. If anything, the state is moving very much in the opposite direction. In a prudent and flexible political system, those parts of the state dominated by the now out-of-power groups would be permitted to join themselves to regimes more in line with their cultures and ideological views. But we do not live in a prudent and flexible political system. We live in a system where the dictates of “democracy” are such that whichever group finds itself in the minority must submit to the elected ruling regime. “Or else.” No other option is permitted. This is a road that often leads to violence, either by private parties, or by the regime against the people.

newswars--2020-01-24--New tool for exoplanet atmospheres revealed

The darkness surrounding the Hale Telescope breaks with a sliver of blue sky as the dome begins to open , screeching with metallic , sci-fi-like sounds atop San Diego County ’ s Palomar Mountain .
The historic observatory smells of the oil pumped in to support the bearings that make this giant telescope float ever so slightly as it moves to track the stars .
Since February 2018 , scientists have been testing an instrument at the Hale Telescope called the New Mexico Exoplanet Spectroscopic Survey Instrument , or NESSI .
A collaboration between NASA ’ s Jet Propulsion Laboratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology , NESSI was built to examine the atmospheres of planets that orbit stars beyond our Sun , or exoplanets , providing new insights into what these worlds are like .
So far , NESSI has checked out two “ hot Jupiters , ” massive gas giants orbiting close to their stars and too scorching to sustain life .
One , called HD 189773b , has such extreme temperatures and winds that it may rain glass sideways there .
The other , WASP-33b , has a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ molecules that absorb ultraviolet and visible light .
Recently , NESSI observed these planets crossing their host stars , proving the instrument would be able to help confirm possible planets previously observed by other telescopes .
Now it is ready for more detailed studies of distant cousins of our solar system .
And while the instrument is designed to look at planets much larger than Earth , NESSI ’ s methods could be used to search for Earth-size planets someday as well once future technologies become available .
“ NESSI is a powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” said Mark Swain , an astrophysicist and the JPL lead for NESSI .
“ Twenty-five years ago , to our best knowledge , we thought we were alone .
Now we know that—at least in terms of planets—we ’ re not , and that this family is extensive and very diverse.
” NESSI views the galaxy in infrared light , which is invisible to the human eye .
It stares at individual stars to observe the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of its host star—an event called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ astronomers can learn how big the planet is relative to its host star .
When the planet passes directly behind the star and re-emerges , it ’ s called an eclipse .
NESSI can look for signatures of molecules from the planet ’ s atmosphere detectable in starlight before and after the eclipse .
Inside NESSI , devices that focus infrared light spread it into a rainbow , or spectrum , filtering it for particular wavelengths that relate to the atmospheric chemistry of distant planets .
“ We can pick out the parts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because that ’ s really what we ’ re looking for in the infrared in these exoplanets—molecular signatures of things like carbon dioxide and water and methane to tell us that there ’ s something interesting going on in that particular planet , ” said Michelle Creech-Eakman , principal investigator for NESSI at New Mexico Tech .
NESSI is equipped to follow up on discoveries from other observatories such as NASA ’ s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS ) .
TESS scans the entire sky in visible light for planets around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planet candidates it discovers must be confirmed through other methods .
That is to make sure these signals TESS detects actually come from planet transits , not other sources .
NESSI can also help bridge the science between TESS and NASA ’ s James Webb Space Telescope , scheduled to launch in 2021 .
The largest , most complex space observatory ever to fly , Webb will study individual planets to learn about their atmospheres and whether they contain molecules associated with habitability .
But since Webb ’ s time will be precious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the most interesting and accessible targets .
For example , if NESSI sees no molecular signatures around a planet , that implies clouds are blocking its atmosphere , making it unlikely to be a good target for Webb .
“ This helps us see if a planet is clear or cloudy or hazy , ” said Rob Zellem , an astrophysicist and the JPL commissioning lead on NESSI .
“ And if it ’ s clear , we ’ ll see the molecules .
And if then we see the molecules , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s a great target to look at with James Webb or Hubble or anything else.
’ ” NESSI began as a concept in 2008 when Swain visited Creech-Eakman ’ s astrobiology class at New Mexico Tech .
Over coffee , Swain told his colleague about exoplanet observations he had done with a ground-based telescope that didn ’ t turn out well .
Creech-Eakman realized a different instrument combined with the right telescope could accomplish Swain ’ s goals .
On a napkin , the two sketched an idea for what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instrument for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory in Magdalena , New Mexico .
But once the researchers began using it in April 2014 , the instrument didn ’ t work as expected .
Swain suggested moving NESSI to Palomar ’ s 200-inch Hale Telescope , which is much larger and more powerful—and also more accessible for the team .
Owned and operated by Caltech , which manages JPL for NASA , Palomar has designated observing nights for researchers from JPL .
Relocating NESSI—a 5-foot-tall ( 1.5-meter-tall ) blue , cylindrical device with wires coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter of placing it on a truck and driving southwest .
The electrical and optical systems needed to be reworked for its new host and then tested again .
NESSI also needed a way to communicate with a different telescope , so University of Arizona doctoral student Kyle Pearson developed software to operate the instrument at Palomar .
By early 2018 , NESSI was ready to climb the mountain .
A crane lifted NESSI more than 100 feet ( 30 meters ) to the top of the Hale Telescope on Feb. 1 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ cage ” at the Hale ’ s prime focus , which enables all of the light from the 530-ton telescope to be funneled into NESSI ’ s detectors .
The team celebrated NESSI ’ s glimpse of its first star on Feb. 2 , 2018 , but between limited telescope time and fickle weather , more than a year of testing and troubleshooting would pass ( never mind the time the decades-old lift got stuck as Zellem and Swain ascended to the telescope cage ) .
“ We track down the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the name of the game , ” Creech-Eakman said .
As the team continued making adjustments in 2019 , Swain tapped a local high school student to design a baffle—a cylindrical device to help direct more light to NESSI ’ s sensors .
This piece was then 3-D-printed in JPL ’ s machine shop .
When NESSI finally detected transiting planets on Sept. 11 , 2019 , the team didn ’ t pause to pop open champagne .
Researchers are now working out the measurements of HD 189773b ’ s atmosphere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list of exoplanets they want to go after next .
“ It ’ s really rewarding , finally , to see all of our hard work is paying off and that we ’ re getting NESSI to work , ” Zellem said .

The historic observatory smells of the oil pumped in to support the bearings that make this giant telescope float ever so slightly as it moves to track the stars.
Since February 2018, scientists have been testing an instrument at the Hale Telescope called the New Mexico Exoplanet Spectroscopic Survey Instrument, or NESSI. A collaboration between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, NESSI was built to examine the atmospheres of planets that orbit stars beyond our Sun, or exoplanets, providing new insights into what these worlds are like.
So far, NESSI has checked out two “hot Jupiters,” massive gas giants orbiting close to their stars and too scorching to sustain life. One, called HD 189773b, has such extreme temperatures and winds that it may rain glass sideways there. The other, WASP-33b, has a “sunscreen” layer of atmosphere, with molecules that absorb ultraviolet and visible light.
Recently, NESSI observed these planets crossing their host stars, proving the instrument would be able to help confirm possible planets previously observed by other telescopes. Now it is ready for more detailed studies of distant cousins of our solar system. And while the instrument is designed to look at planets much larger than Earth, NESSI’s methods could be used to search for Earth-size planets someday as well once future technologies become available.
“NESSI is a powerful tool to help us meet the family,” said Mark Swain, an astrophysicist and the JPL lead for NESSI. “Twenty-five years ago, to our best knowledge, we thought we were alone. Now we know that—at least in terms of planets—we’re not, and that this family is extensive and very diverse.”
Why NESSI
NESSI views the galaxy in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. It stares at individual stars to observe the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of its host star—an event called a transit. From the transit, astronomers can learn how big the planet is relative to its host star. When the planet passes directly behind the star and re-emerges, it’s called an eclipse. NESSI can look for signatures of molecules from the planet’s atmosphere detectable in starlight before and after the eclipse.
Inside NESSI, devices that focus infrared light spread it into a rainbow, or spectrum, filtering it for particular wavelengths that relate to the atmospheric chemistry of distant planets.
“We can pick out the parts of the spectrum where the molecules are, because that’s really what we’re looking for in the infrared in these exoplanets—molecular signatures of things like carbon dioxide and water and methane to tell us that there’s something interesting going on in that particular planet,” said Michelle Creech-Eakman, principal investigator for NESSI at New Mexico Tech.
NESSI is equipped to follow up on discoveries from other observatories such as NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS). TESS scans the entire sky in visible light for planets around bright, nearby stars, but the planet candidates it discovers must be confirmed through other methods. That is to make sure these signals TESS detects actually come from planet transits, not other sources.
NESSI can also help bridge the science between TESS and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled to launch in 2021. The largest, most complex space observatory ever to fly, Webb will study individual planets to learn about their atmospheres and whether they contain molecules associated with habitability. But since Webb’s time will be precious, scientists want to point it only at the most interesting and accessible targets. For example, if NESSI sees no molecular signatures around a planet, that implies clouds are blocking its atmosphere, making it unlikely to be a good target for Webb.
“This helps us see if a planet is clear or cloudy or hazy,” said Rob Zellem, an astrophysicist and the JPL commissioning lead on NESSI. “And if it’s clear, we’ll see the molecules. And if then we see the molecules, they’ll say, “Hey, it’s a great target to look at with James Webb or Hubble or anything else.’”
A Window to the Galaxy
NESSI began as a concept in 2008 when Swain visited Creech-Eakman’s astrobiology class at New Mexico Tech. Over coffee, Swain told his colleague about exoplanet observations he had done with a ground-based telescope that didn’t turn out well. Creech-Eakman realized a different instrument combined with the right telescope could accomplish Swain’s goals. On a napkin, the two sketched an idea for what would become NESSI.
They designed the instrument for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory in Magdalena, New Mexico. But once the researchers began using it in April 2014, the instrument didn’t work as expected.
Swain suggested moving NESSI to Palomar’s 200-inch Hale Telescope, which is much larger and more powerful—and also more accessible for the team. Owned and operated by Caltech, which manages JPL for NASA, Palomar has designated observing nights for researchers from JPL.
Relocating NESSI—a 5-foot-tall (1.5-meter-tall) blue, cylindrical device with wires coming out of it—wasn’t just a matter of placing it on a truck and driving southwest. The electrical and optical systems needed to be reworked for its new host and then tested again. NESSI also needed a way to communicate with a different telescope, so University of Arizona doctoral student Kyle Pearson developed software to operate the instrument at Palomar. By early 2018, NESSI was ready to climb the mountain.
A crane lifted NESSI more than 100 feet (30 meters) to the top of the Hale Telescope on Feb. 1, 2018. Technicians installed the instrument in a “cage” at the Hale’s prime focus, which enables all of the light from the 530-ton telescope to be funneled into NESSI’s detectors.
The team celebrated NESSI’s glimpse of its first star on Feb. 2, 2018, but between limited telescope time and fickle weather, more than a year of testing and troubleshooting would pass (never mind the time the decades-old lift got stuck as Zellem and Swain ascended to the telescope cage).
“We track down the problems and we fix them. That’s the name of the game,” Creech-Eakman said.
As the team continued making adjustments in 2019, Swain tapped a local high school student to design a baffle—a cylindrical device to help direct more light to NESSI’s sensors. This piece was then 3-D-printed in JPL’s machine shop.
When NESSI finally detected transiting planets on Sept. 11, 2019, the team didn’t pause to pop open champagne. Researchers are now working out the measurements of HD 189773b’s atmosphere. The team has also compiled a list of exoplanets they want to go after next.
“It’s really rewarding, finally, to see all of our hard work is paying off and that we’re getting NESSI to work,” Zellem said. “It’s been a long journey, and it’s really gratifying to see this happen, especially in real time.”

NASA’s Kepler spacecraft was designed to find exoplanets by looking for stars that dim as a planet crosses the star’s face.
Fortuitously, the same design makes it ideal for spotting other astronomical transients—objects that brighten or dim over time. A new search of Kepler archival data has uncovered an unusual super-outburst from a previously unknown dwarf nova. The system brightened by a factor of 1,600 over less than a day before slowly fading away.
The star system in question consists of a white dwarf star with a brown dwarf companion about one-tenth as massive as the white dwarf. A white dwarf is the leftover core of an aging Sun-like star and contains about a Sun’s worth of material in a globe the size of Earth. A brown dwarf is an object with a mass between 10 and 80 Jupiters that is too small to undergo nuclear fusion.
The brown dwarf circles the white dwarf star every 83 minutes at a distance of only 250,000 miles (400,000 km)–about the distance from Earth to the Moon. They are so close that the white dwarf’s strong gravity strips material from the brown dwarf, sucking its essence away like a vampire. The stripped material forms a disk as it spirals toward the white dwarf (known as an accretion disk).
It was sheer chance that Kepler was looking in the right direction when this system underwent a super-outburst, brightening by more than 1,000 times. In fact, Kepler was the only instrument that could have witnessed it, since the system was too close to the Sun from Earth’s point of view at the time. Kepler’s rapid cadence of observations, taking data every 30 minutes, was crucial for catching every detail of the outburst.
The event remained hidden in Kepler’s archive until identified by a team led by Ryan Ridden-Harper of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), Baltimore, Maryland, and the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. “In a sense, we discovered this system accidentally. We weren’t specifically looking for a super-outburst. We were looking for any sort of transient,” said Ridden-Harper.
Kepler captured the entire event, observing a slow rise in brightness followed by a rapid intensification. While the sudden brightening is predicted by theories, the cause of the slow start remains a mystery. Standard theories of accretion disk physics don’t predict this phenomenon, which has subsequently been observed in two other dwarf nova super-outbursts.
“These dwarf nova systems have been studied for decades, so spotting something new is pretty tricky,” said Ridden-Harper. “We see accretion disks all over—from newly forming stars to supermassive black holes—so it’s important to understand them.”
Theories suggest that a super-outburst is triggered when the accretion disk reaches a tipping point. As it accumulates material, it grows in size until the outer edge experiences gravitational resonance with the orbiting brown dwarf. This might trigger a thermal instability, causing the disk to get superheated. Indeed, observations show that the disk’s temperature rises from about 5,000–10,000° F (2,700–5,300° C) in its normal state to a high of 17,000–21,000° F (9,700–11,700° C) at the peak of the super-outburst.
This type of dwarf nova system is relatively rare, with only about 100 known. An individual system may go for years or decades between outbursts, making it a challenge to catch one in the act.
“The detection of this object raises hopes for detecting even more rare events hidden in Kepler data,” said co-author Armin Rest of STScI.
The team plans to continue mining Kepler data, as well as data from another exoplanet hunter, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, in search of other transients.
“The continuous observations by Kepler/K2, and now TESS, of these dynamic stellar systems allows us to study the earliest hours of the outburst, a time domain that is nearly impossible to reach from ground-based observatories,” said Peter Garnavich of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
