Clarke's World of Strange Powers in 1985 and Arthur C. In 1985, a paperback of this book was released by HarperCollins Publishers. It featured an introduction written by Clarke as well as his remarks at the end of each chapter or topic. In 1980, Book Club Associates published a hardcover book with the same name, authored by Simon Welfare and John Fairley, where the contents of the show were further explored. It also featured a unique soundtrack composed by British artist Alan Hawkshaw. The series was produced by John Fanshawe and John Fairley, and directed by Peter Jones, Michael Weigall and Charles Flynn. The bulk of the episodes are narrated by Gordon Honeycombe. Clarke in short sequences filmed in Sri Lanka. It was produced by Yorkshire Television for the ITV network and first broadcast on 6 September 1980.Įach program is introduced and book-ended by science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World is a thirteen-part British television series looking at unexplained phenomena from around the world. Clarke's World of Strange PowersĪrthur C. This story originally appeared on The Sun and has been reproduced here with permission.Arthur C. Kramers added: “Perhaps equally important, it shows that an individual anomalous parcel of dust from outer space could actually be incorporated in the solar nebula that our Solar System was formed from, without being fully mixed in.” The discovery is exciting because it could teach us more about stellar explosions and the chemical compositions of space objects outside our arm of the Milky Way. Kramers said: “If this hypothesis is correct, the Hypatia stone would be the first tangible evidence on Earth of a supernova type Ia explosion.” Its chemical makeup means it’s different from other space rocks that usually pass Earth. The new research, published in the journal Icarus, suggests the rock wasn’t formed in the inner solar system. A strange “alien stone” found in Egypt may be evidence of an ancient space explosion. Hypatia would have that shot around the universe until it impacted with Earth’s atmosphere and burned up, falling as a small stone over Egypt. Geochemist Jan Kramers from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa said: “In a sense, we could say, we have caught a supernova Ia explosion in the act, because the gas atoms from the explosion were caught in the surrounding dust cloud, which eventually formed Hypatia’s parent body.” It would take billions of years for dust and gas to fuse together and form a space rock. It was discovered in the Egyptian desert in 1996.Ī new study of its chemical makeup suggests it could have formed from bits of dust and gas surrounding a supernova. Scientists now think Egypt’s Hypatia stone could be evidence of one of these supernovas that happened billions of years ago. They’re powerful explosions that happen when a white dwarf star consumes another. Standard candle supernovas, also known as type la, get their name for burning brightly consistently so they’re like a candle to astronomers. Scientists think it could be the first Earthly evidence of a “standard candle” supernova explosion.
