Flying Saucer Crash Lands in Utah Desert

Explanation: A flying saucer from outer space crash-landed in the Utah desert after being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters. The year was 2004, and no space aliens were involved. The saucer, pictured here, was the Genesis sample return capsule, part of a human-made robot Genesis spaceship launched in 2001 by NASA itself to study the Sun. The unexpectedly hard landing at over 300 kilometers per hour occurred because the parachutes did not open as planned. The Genesis mission had been orbiting the Sun collecting solar wind particles that are usually deflected away by Earth's magnetic field. Despite the crash landing, many return samples remained in good enough condition to analyze. So far, Genesis-related discoveries include new details about the composition of the Sun and how the abundance of some types of elements differ across the Solar System. These results have provided intriguing clues into details of how the Sun and planets formed billions of years ago.

What powers are being used in the wizard nebula? Strong winds and radiations created and dissolved towers of gas. The Wizard nebula is located only 8,000 light years away. The interplay of stars, gas, and dust creates a shape that resembles a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 light years and appears larger than the moon. There is a small telescope that can be used to find the Wizard Nebula. Some of the stars being formed may live longer than our Sun.
