Dorminey reported on June 1 2026 that the long, puzzling dwarf planet Ceres, in reality the first named asteroid, has surface features that are much more complex than previously thought. Or at least that’s the conclusion of a recent paper given at the recent European Geosciences Union 2026 General Assembly in Vienna.

Felton reported in early June 2026 that Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft is heading towards its final target. According to some geoscientists, it may be in for one hell of a surprise. Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft is heading towards its final target; a small, rapidly rotating asteroid, believed to be around the size of a spacecraft.

Zhang and eight co-authors reported in April 2025 that significant uranium exploration discoveries have been achieved in the eolian deposits of the uranium reservoirs in the southwestern part of the Ordos Basin. The redox environment remains a crucial factor in controlling the migration and precipitation of uranium.
The authors indicated that through rock mineralogical observations and hydrocarbon gas composition analysis, combined with the regional source rock and basin tectonic evolution history, reveals the characteristics of the red...

Anunnaki Dreams produced this video in mid-May 2026, and askes the question: What if the world you know is only the latest version of Earth? Long before recorded history, entire worlds vanished. Seas disappeared. Continents drowned. Civilizations collapsed before they could leave behind a single written word. Some of the most violent catastrophes in Earth’s history reshaped coastlines, erased cultures, and nearly wiped humanity itself from existence.
In this documentary, we explore 10 ancient disasters that changed Earth forever — from t...

Wang and six co-authors repored in 2017 that the Ordos Basin is one of the largest proliferous basins and also one of the most important uranium-bearing basins in China. It is characterized by the coexistence of petroleum and uranium in the northern part of the basin. To understand the coexistence mechanism, more studies are called for on the genesis of sandstone-type uranium deposits in the northern part of the basin, especially on the role of hydrocarbon in uranium mineralization.
The authors investigated the relationship between uraniu...

Zhang and three co-authors reported in 2020 that the Qianjiadian uranium deposit is located in the southwest margin of Songliao basin. Electron probe, energy spectrum, back scattering analysis, scanning electron microscopy and other experimental methods are used to study uranium occurrence form and uranium mineral type in Qiandaidian uranium deposit.
The results are shown as follows:
(1) The occurrence forms of uranium in Qiandaidian uranium mining area include uranium minerals, adsorption uranium. The uranium in low-grade ore is mainly i...

Uranium Unleashed reported in mid-May 2026 that the uranium price is heading to $200? The data suggests we are entering a structural squeeze unlike anything seen in the history of the nuclear industry. The inflation-adjusted peak of the last market cycle sits between $150 and $200 per pound, and today’s fundamental setup is arguably much stronger than it was in 2007.
With global nuclear capacity projected for a 3% to 4% compound annual growth rate, the world needs an additional 100 to 150 gigawatts of capacity over the next decade. In this...

The Royalty King reported in late March 2026 that $150 per pound uranium contracts are already being signed and most retail investors have no idea because in uranium the action takes place in the term market not so much the spot market. Justin Huhn of Uranium Insider, one of the most respected voices in the uranium and nuclear energy space, to break down exactly where the uranium market is heading and why the AI power demand surge is accelerating the timeline faster than anyone expected.

The source prepared a video on what happened after Stalin's death. The most feared man in the Soviet Union believes he is next in line for power. He is wrong. This is the true story of Lavrentiy Beria — the architect of Soviet terror, the man who built the machine of fear that crushed millions — and how that same machine turned on him in a single year.
From the corridors of the Kremlin on the morning after Stalin's death, to a closed courtroom where ten men delivered a verdict that had been written before the trial began, to a basement roo...
