New "Star Trek" Technology Discovers Planet in Another Solar System
By Ian Brockwell
Whilst NASA have made great discoveries with the Hubble Telescope, most of us have been unable to see the images in a form that we recognize or understand (actual photographs of planets) and have had to rely on an artists impression of the object.
However, maybe that will all change now with the use of APEP (Advanced Photographic Extraction Process), a technique that can extract the smallest details from an existing image and enlarge it.
Using this new technology, the inventor (Ron Stewart) has selected a small area in the Orion Nebula to demonstrate the abilities of the APEP, using a photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
We have created a special page to display the various stages of this process, which you can see by clicking HERE. The inventor has provided a number of photographs, beginning with a Star in the Orion Nebula that is barely visible to the naked eye, to an incredible close-up of this same "Red Star", its Solar System, and a Gas Giant clearly visible in orbit around this Sun.
You will also find further information on the APEP technology, explaining how it works.
If this new technology can provide such detail in a distant Solar System, imagine what could be achieved by looking at objects much closer (like Mars for example).
Ron Stewart is hoping that a High Definition upgrade to APEP will increase the power of the system by 500%, perhaps allowing the detail we have seen from Rovers on Mars, without having to travel to the planet to obtain them.
Maybe, in the very near future, we will be able to observe sufficient detail on other planets (not in our Solar System), that will determine whether life exists there or not. If we can "zoom in" close enough to see structures, we will also be able to view Seas, rivers and maybe even modes of transport? If the images reveal an advanced civilization, this might also provide an answer to the many UFO sightings that have been reported on our own planet for so many years.
If the APEP technology is as good as it would seem, we can only hope that the process receives the support it needs to develop to its full capacity. Such an invention would certainly bring a new meaning to "Star Trek", in a literal sense.
For those of you wishing to find out more about APEP and perhaps putting this process to the test with a project of your own, you will find contact details on the special page we have created.
