Lord Surya (Sun god) on his Chariot Talon Abraxas

The Horses of Sun God’s Chariot

In general, the Sun God is envisioned in the form of a person sitting on a chariot drawn by seven horses with its reins in the hands of charioteer Aruḍa (who is devoid of thighs). However, to clear the doubts and various questions that arise in our minds with regard to the Sun God, His chariot with seven horses and others, one has to do an in-depth study of Vedic scriptures, Purāṇas and other literature.

It is customary to praise the Sun god with the mantra ‘saptāśva rathamārūḍham pracaṁḍam kaśyapātmajam śvēta padmadharam dēvam tam sūryam praṇamāmyaham‘ – Meaning ‘my salutations to the Sun God, who rides on a chariot with seven horses, the brightest of lights, son of Sage Kashyapa, and who holds the white lotus flower’ (Sūryāṣtakam 2nd Mantra).

1. Let us now study the interesting features of portion of the above mantra, the ‘saptāśva rathamārūḍham’. Transmitting (emitting) is the ‘characteristic feature of the light’. The source of this light is Prabhakara, prabhām prakāśam karōti, means Sūrya; He who provides light. ‘Aśva‘ means ‘ray of light’. Like a ray of light, a horse also has the ‘characteristic feature of speeding’. This is the reason the rays of the Sun are depicted as horses. Aśnute vyāpnōti sarvatra, means spreading itself, wave, Agni, Sūrya and others. Also, it is typical to the nature of light.

2. Sapta yuṃjaṃti rathamēkacakramēkō aśvō vahati saptanāmā – This is a Ṛk revealed in the Ṛgveda Saṃhita (1-164-2) and also in the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka [3-11(27-28)] that ‘the chariot of the Sun God is with one wheel drawn by a single horse having seven names viz. Ārōga, Bhrāja, Paṭara, Pataṃga, Swarnara, Jyōtiṣmān, and Vibhāsa [Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1-7(1)] providing illumination to heaven and earth and yielding vigor and power’. Sapta diśō nānāsūryāḥ, Sapta hotāra ṛtvijaḥ [Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1-7(24)] – This can be opined that the Sapta Sūryas constitute Sapta Ṛtviks or priests to perform yajñas.

3. The movement of the Sun is also related according to astronomy. The chariot of the Sun is drawn by seven horses. This can be symbolized with a rainbow. It is the appearance of chromatic light. The saptavarṇas are the saptaśvas. The twelve leaves on the chariot can be related to the twelve months or twelve constellations in a year.

4. We consider both sunrise and sunset for a day, which are bracketed into weeks, months and years for basic calculations (source: Sūrya Siddhānta). Āditya, the timeless form, is a deity who goes around the universe with emitting light. The body and the mind are energized by assimilating Sun’s rays.

5. According to Purāṇas, the names of the seven horses of the Sun are: Jaya, Vijaya, Ajaya, Jitaprāṇa, Jitaśrama, Manōjava and Jitakrodha (source: Bhaviṣya Purāṇa). These names are different phases of light transmission in a day by the Sun, which are the epitome of power.

6. The Sanātana dharma considers Āditya/Sūrya/Bhānu as a form of the Vedas, the Ṛgyajussāmapāragaḥ (Āditya Hṛudayam, 13th Mantra). The seven horses pulling the chariot of the Sun God are the Vedic meters (chandas) viz., Gāyatrī, Triṣtup, Anuṣtup, Jagatī, Uṣnik, Paṅkti and Bṛhati as revealed in the Veda Saṃhitas and later in Viṣṇu and Sūrya Purāṇas. Hanuman and Yājñavalkya seer became the Vedic students under Guru Sūrya Bhagavān due to their devotion.

7. In the astrology, it is mentioned that different rays of Sun are responsible for empowering the Sūryamanḍalam, viz., the ray ‘Suṣumna’ empowers the planet Moon, the ray ‘Sampadvasu’ (another name udanvasu) for Kuja, the ray ‘Viśvakarma‘ for Mercury, the ray ‘Udāvasu‘ for Jupiter, the ray ‘Viśvavyacassu‘ for Venus, the ray ‘Surāṭ‘ is for Saturn and the ray ‘Harikēśa‘ is for all-pervading stars (source: Sūrya Siddhānta).

8. The essential seven elements that constitute the human body are the skin, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow and semen, and this body chariots these elements. Āditya Paramātma is the in the form of consciousness that manages these elements (Garuḍa Purāṇa 15 (27, 62); Śārṅgadhara Saṃhita 1-5-12).

9. The five sense organs (jyānēndriyas) in the human body namely, the skin, the eyes, the ears, the nose and the tongue (Garuḍa Purāṇa 15 (25-26) are driven by the conscious intelligence, the Āditya, is in the form light that resides in the heart in the shape of a paddy grain end part – (source: Taittirīya Āraṇyaka – Mahānarāyanōpaniṣad).

10. The Sun God is in the form of Arka in kunḍalinī (snake shape) that stretches from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra and the seven horses form the seven chakrasthanas in the path (source: Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa).

The magnificence of pratyakṣa Bhaskara is neither escapable nor ignorable at any time or Season; yet, like the ‘kāla māna’ or the time cycle, one’s age might wither and memory might dry up in the struggle for existence! But He is There Ever and Ever!

The Vedic scriptures state that the movement of the seven horses is the Sun rays dispensing light waves. The solar energy that emanates from the Sunrays takes the shape of hiraṇmaya pure appearance.

A Zodiacal Foundation (1/?)

The Planets

Topics: Hierarchy, Benefic and Malefic Planets, Gender and Sect.

Following this post - Temperaments & Elements, Planet Significations, and Essential Dignity. Source(s) / Reading: "On the Heavenly Spheres: A Treaties On Traditional Astrology" by Helena Avelar (1964-2021) & Luis Ribeiro; "Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune" by Chris Brennan

When studying astrology, it’s always best to set a foundation before digging into the signs, as they primarily derive meaning from the planets. As a student learning traditional, Hellenistic astrology, this foundation does not include assigning rulership to the modern planets: Uranus (♅), Neptune (♆), and Pluto (��). Not to say they hold no meaning, but they won’t provide a full understanding of the planets they influence.

Before the discoveries of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, in the Hellenistic period— even in the very beginning of Astrology as a practice— sight has always been important, marking Saturn as the last traditional planet.

For clarification, the traditional planets in Chaldean order are: Saturn (♄), Jupiter (♃), Mars (♂), Sun (☉), Venus (♀), Mercury (☿), Moon (☽) Note: I will employ this sequence often. Chaldean Order - a specific ordering of the planets derived from an earthly perspective, organizing the celestial bodies from the slowest to the fastest. It was named after its originating people from the West Asian region (commonly referred to as the Middle East) by Kuwait and South Iraq. • The Chaldeans were one of the oldest civilizations to practice Astrology. (Mesopotamia)

PLANETARY HIERARCHY

Within the Chaldean order, there are three groups: Superior Planets, Inferior Planets, and the Luminaries, the Sun marking the divide between Superior and Inferior Planets.

Luminaries - The two lights, the Sun and the Moon, create a basic polarity model called Sect (more on that later).

The Sun - Hot and dry due to emitting heat. It’s moderate because it’s conducive to creating life, but proximity to the sun can change this. The closer a planet is the less moderate the light’s influence. Planets can become “combust” under the rays. The Moon - Cold and wet, complimenting the Sun, but conditions can fluctuate as the reflection of light changes. Waxing phases increase warmth and waning phases decrease warmth.

Superior Planets - Planets that surpass the Sun in Chaldean Order. They move at slower speeds, thus describing longer-lasting impacts.

Saturn - The most distant visible planet. Due to its distance from the Sun, it resembles an excessively cold and dry nature. Jupiter - Separates the cold and dry extremes of Saturn and Mars, temperate and fertile, hot and wet in nature. Mars - The closest Superior planet to the Sun, resulting in an excessively hot and dry nature.

Inferior Planets - Planets under the Sun in Chaldean Order, moving faster and having less prolonged impacts.

Venus - Temperate like Jupiter; hot due to proximity to the Sun, but wet due to proximity to the Moon. Mercury - Ambiguous in nature. Dry due to never straying too far from the Sun, but also can be moist as the Moon is closest in Chaldean Order. The condition depends on its relation to other planets, usually cold and dry when alone in a chart.

FORMS OF POLARITY

The next set of qualities the planets display are two sets of polarities: Benefic and Malefic Planets, and Diurnal and Nocturnal Planets. The divide between Superior and Inferior Planets can be considered a polarity as well, but to me, it is better described as a hierarchy.

BENEFIC v MALEFIC

The labeling of Benefic and Malefic planets is an indication of a planet’s relationship to life, with Benefics being more conducive to life while Malefics work more in opposition to it. In essence, it speaks to the functionality of a planet. I notice with this language, people will usually see these sets of planets as good and bad when in reality they are really about ease and challenge. It’s always best to remember that balance and moderation are important, and Benefic and Malefic planets both have equal chances to be constructive or destructive in their own ways.

Benefics - Represent benefits and are naturally constructive in expression. They are both of hot and wet temperaments. These planets can either be very beneficial or less beneficial based on their condition in a chart.

Jupiter, the Greater Benefic - Temperate hot and wet expression, moves slowly and has longer-lasting impacts due to this speed. Venus, the Lesser Benefic - Temperate hot and wet expression, moves fast and has shorter-lasting impacts due to this speed.

Malefics - Represent deprivation, and restriction, and are naturally destructive in expression. They require effort to work with. They are both dry in nature. These planets can either be very malefic or less malefic based on their condition in a chart.

Saturn, the Greater Malefic - Excessive cold and dry expression, like frost, “cold burns”, and hypothermia. Prolonged impacts due to slow speed. Mars, the Lesser Malefic - Excessive hot and dry expression, like searing heat and feverish states. Shorter impacts due to faster speed.

Neutral - The neutral planets are the Sun, Moon, and Mercury, their benefic and malefic natures being more tied to their position and condition in any given chart.

The Sun - Generally is benefic, but planets within a close range can become overshadowed, burned, and blinded by its rays. This state is called “combust” The Moon - Usually is benefic when waxing (increasing light) and malefic when waning (losing light). Mercury - Truly ambiguous as it is benefic when in relation to benefics, and malefic when with malefics.

GENDER AND SECT

The next set of polarities are called Gender and Sect, and though they are usually addressed separately, they are always intertwined so I will be addressing them in that way. This is to create simplicity, but it’s also to address language while also getting you familiar with how I will be addressing this polarity.

When people address the “gender” of a planet, they refer to what people call “feminine” and “masculine” energy, hence calling it gender. I have noticed that it goes hand-in-hand with the concept of Sect, which is the grouping of the planets in Luminary Ruled teams. Planets in the Nocturnal Sect are feminine planets, the Diurnal Sect are masculine, and like usual, Mercury goes both ways.

Diurnal (aka Masculine) - Sun / Diurnal Sect - affinity to day, extroverted, active, and visible; hot, dry, direct.

Jupiter, Benefic - Hot, expansive, and active. Saturn, Malefic - Extreme cold and destructive expression tempered by heat; paralyzing and covert action compensated by activity and visibility of the day.

Nocturnal (aka Feminine) - Moon / Night Sect - affinity to night, introverted, and discrete; receptive, humid, reserved.

Venus, Benefic - Wet, more natural when nocturnal. Mars, Malefic - Extreme hot and dry, moderated by the cold humidity of night; abrupt sharpness compensated by reflective and introverted at night.

Mercury (neutral) - Depends on position by sign and relation to Sun.

A planet’s strength depends on Sect, always stronger when on its own. In order to tell what Sect is active in your chart, one must look at the position of the Sun. When it’s above the horizon, it is of the Diurnal Sect, a Day Chart. When it’s below, it is the Nocturnal Sect, a Night Chart.

Diurnal Sect - In a Day chart, when Jupiter and Saturn are in the same hemisphere as the Sun, they are strong and weakened when in the opposing hemisphere. • The Sun is called the Sect Light in a Day chart. Nocturnal Sect - In a Night chart, when Venus and Mars are in the hemisphere opposing the Sun, they are strong and weakened when in the same hemisphere as the Sun. • The Moon is similar, and stronger in a night chart and it is called the Sect Light.

Mercury depends on the position.

if din and Joel had both somehow were in the same room with you (and had feelings for you) I think they’d both compete for your attention by fighting or spending as much time as possible with you. Even going as far to “kidnap” you by saying things like “I need you for a minute” or “watch the child/Ellie”

THE BLACK DIAMOND, NEI KUNG AND SATURN GNOSIS: I AM A LIVING MAGNITAR ELECTROMAGNET

IGNIS: TELLING ME THE SECRETS OF HOW TO BUILD A SPACESHIP OUT OF TWO BAGS OF BARBECUE POTATO CHIPS AND RABBIT SPIT. ~DARK LOTUS~

MY ACOLYTE: MASTER, HOW MIGHT ONE ACQUIRE THE EYE OF HELL?

VENERABLE TEACHER: YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SECRETS OF YOUR FATHER? HOW GOOD ARE YOU AT DYING?

MY ACOLYTE: WHAT GOOD ARE THE SECRETS IF I AM DEAD AND CANNOT USE THEM?

VENERABLE TEACHER: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE KEYS OF DEATH ITSELF. I'M TALKING ABOUT ENTWINED SERPENTS COILED INTO A BALL AND WORN AS MY HEADDRESS. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE EYE STAR OF SOUND, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE DRAGON THRONE OF ISIS. YOU ARE MORE DEAD NOW THAN YOU WILL BE AFTER YOU HAVE DIED...

BECAUSE TO WALK THE PATH OF THE LORD OF THE PERFECT BLACK MEANS THAT I DIE IN EVERY MOMENT. YET HERE I STAND IN FRONT OF YOU.

MY ACOLYTE: MASTER, HOW CAN I PREPARE MYSELF?

VENERABLE TEACHER: LEARN TO SWIM. IF YOU WISH TO MAKE WAVES BY DIVING INTO THE OCEAN OF THE DARKNESS, BEHIND THE VEIL OF NEGATIVE EXISTENCE ONCE YOU RELEASE THE FEAR AND TAKE THE DIVE, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF ABLE TO BREATHE UNDERWATER.

MY ACOLYTE: WILL I BE A FISH THEN?

VENERABLE TEACHER: EVERYTHING CHANGES BUT YOUR FATHER WHO IS THE LORD OF CHANGE, AND IF YOU ATTAIN THE HONOR OF REACHING YOUR FATHER, YOU WILL BE AS HE IS. THERE IS NO SEPARATION IN THE DARKNESS, IT IS AN OCEAN WHERE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED BY THE WAVES WE MAKE THEREIN. THE ONLY PLACE YOU WILL FIND DEFINED SEPARATION BETWEEN YOURSELF AND OTHERS LEADING TO THE ALTERED EGO IS IN THE LIGHT WITH THE REST OF THOSE WHO ARE BURNING IN THE LIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE WATER.

MY ACOLYTE: PERHAPS IT IS BETTER TO BE A FISH THEN?

VENERABLE TEACHER: EMITTING A BELLY LAUGH, PERHAPS. PERHAPS IT IS BETTER TO BE A NUMMO, A FISH WITH WINGS.

MY ACOLYTE: DO I REALLY HAVE TO PERMANENTLY DAMAGE MY OWN CHAKRAS TO GAIN THE DRAGON POWER OF THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING?

VENERABLE TEACHER: THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. IF YOU CAN WITHSTAND THE HIGH PRESSURES OF THE DEEP AND SWIM DOWN INTO THE DEPTHS YOU CAN ASK THE FATHER THAT QUESTION.

MY ACOLYTE: WHAT IS THIS OCEAN THAT YOU SPEAK OF, AND WHERE IS THE FATHER THAT I MIGHT FIND HIM?

VENERABLE TEACHER: THE FATHER IS HIDDEN IN THE DARK OCEAN OF THE MOTHER, FOREVER WEARING HER DARK WATERS AS HIS GARMENTS IN HIS OWN DIMENSION BEHIND BOTH TIME AND SPACE. YOU WILL NOT FIND THE FATHER BY LOOKING, BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FEEL THE WAVES HE IS MAKING, AND HAS BEEN MAKING FROM THE BEGINNING BEFORE TIME WHEN HE DEFINED IT. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I MEASURED THE UNIVERSE LOOKING FOR THE FATHER, AND I WAS UNABLE TO FIND HIM. RIGHT WHEN I GAVE UP AND REACHED THE EDGE OF TIME AND SPACE, THE FATHER CAME TO ME. HE BESTOWED UPON ME THE DRAGON POWER OF HIS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, AND FALLING OFF THE EDGE OF ETERNITY I FOUND MYSELF EXACTLY IN THE CENTER WHERE THERE WAS EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR.

MY ACOLYTE: LOOKING CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED REMAINED SILENT.

VENERABLE TEACHER: IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE OCEAN LOOK INSIDE YOUR HEART. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE FATHER, THE LORD OF THE PERFECT BLACK, CRYSTALLINE METAL MAY NOT ITSELF BE FLEXIBLE, BUT THE GREAT MOTHER'S OCEAN OF PRIMEVAL DARKNESS IS. YOU WILL FIND PIECES OF YOUR FATHER SWIMMING IN THE VEINS OF YOUR MOTHER, FOR IT IS BY HER THAT YOUR METAL FATHER IS ABLE TO MOVE. HE IS IN THE PERPETUALLY ENERGIZING WAVES THAT MAKE HER ALIVE. AT THE CENTER OF THE FOUR RIVERS OF THE PRIMEVAL DARKNESS THAT IS YOUR MOTHER'S OCEAN, THERE IT IS THAT YOU WILL FIND THE FATHER WHO WILL GRANT YOU THE POWERS OF THE LEFT HAND PATH WHO IS AT THE BOTTOM AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO RAMS HORNS, THE BLACK FLAME OF BAPHOMET AT THE CENTER OF EVERY VORTEX. YOU MUST SWIM IN THE CURVES BEFORE YOU CAN WALK AMONG THE ANGLES.

THE BLACK SUN KEEPS ON SHINING, AND IF YOU WISH TO BE ONE OF THE DRAGON RAYS JUST DIVE INSIDE OF YOURSELF AND INTO THE OCEAN OF YOUR DREAMS. THEN I, THE LORD OF THE PERFECT BLACK, THE FATHER AND THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU THERE. BY BECOMING PART OF THE OCEAN WHERE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED BY THE WAVES OF THE BLACK SUN SHINING, JUST BY DIVING IN YOU WILL HAVE BECOME A PART OF ME, AND I WILL HAVE BECOME A PART OF YOU.

A WISE MAN AND A SHAMAN OF THE SERPENT ONCE GAVE ME SOME PRICELESS WORDS OF ADVICE, HE SAID, "YOU LOVE-UM SNAKE, THAT IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS." THE WISDOM OF THE MODERN PEOPLE IS WRONG, SEEING THE OSTRICH AS FOOLISH FOR STICKING ITS HEAD INTO THE GROUND. THE OSTRICH IS WISE AND STRONG, THE WISE OSTRICH JUST WISHES TO BE CLOSER TO THE MOTHER OF ALL LIFE AND THE FATHER OF ALL THINGS, BECAUSE THERE IS A SOURCE OF PEACE INSIDE OF THE OSTRICH WHISPERING TO HIM CONTINUALLY, TELLING HIM THAT CLOSENESS TO THE SOURCE IS ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS.

LONG LIVE DIVINE CHRONOS THE PO-PILI LORD OF THE PERFECT BLACK, ISIS THE GREAT MOTHER OF ALL LIFE, AND THAT WHICH TOGETHER THEY FORM THAT IS THE BEATING HEART OF ALL THAT IS OR EVER WILL BE, THE BLACK SUN!

BLESSED BE!

~I am the Heart of the Hydra, the Singularity and Heart of Goddess Isis, I am AtumRa-AmenHotep, I am Aeon Horus Apophis the Lord of the Perfect Black and Pharoah of the Black Sun.

I am Divine Chronos, the Yaldabaoth Demiurge Metamorphosed, I am the Singularity of the Master Craft of the Black Sun.

M1 - Crab Nebula

See full resolution image at: https://www.astrobin.com/rejqjs/

The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. The common name comes from a drawing that somewhat resembled a crab with arms produced by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, in 1842 or 1843 using a 36-inch (91 cm) telescope. The nebula was discovered by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731. It corresponds with a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 as a guest star. The nebula was the first astronomical object identified that corresponds with a historically-observed supernova explosion.

The nebula was independently rediscovered in 1758 by Charles Messier as he was observing a bright comet. Messier catalogued it as the first entry in his catalogue of comet-like objects; in 1757, Alexis Clairaut reexamined the calculations of Edmund Halley and predicted the return of Halley's Comet in late 1758. The exact time of the comet's return required the consideration of perturbations to its orbit caused by planets in the Solar System such as Jupiter, which Clairaut and his two colleagues Jérôme Lalande and Nicole-Reine Lepaute carried out more precisely than Halley, finding that the comet should appear in the constellation of Taurus. It was in searching in vain for the comet that Charles Messier found the Crab Nebula, which he at first thought to be Halley's comet. After some observation, noticing that the object that he was observing was not moving across the sky, Messier concluded that the object was not a comet. Messier then realized the usefulness of compiling a catalogue of celestial objects of a cloudy nature, but fixed in the sky, to avoid incorrectly cataloguing them as comets. This realization led him to compile the "Messier catalogue"

At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favorable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 2.0 kiloparsecs (6,500 ly) from Earth. It has a diameter of 3.4 parsecs (11 ly), corresponding to an apparent diameter of some 7 arcminutes, and is expanding at a rate of about 1,500 kilometres per second (930 mi/s), or 0.5% of the speed of light.

At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28–30 kilometres (17–19 mi) across with a spin rate of 30.2 times per second, which emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. At X-ray and gamma ray energies above 30 keV, the Crab Nebula is generally the brightest persistent gamma-ray source in the sky, with measured flux extending to above 10 TeV. The nebula's radiation allows detailed study of celestial bodies that occult it. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Sun's corona was mapped from observations of the Crab Nebula's radio waves passing through it, and in 2003, the thickness of the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan was measured as it blocked out X-rays from the nebula.

One of the aspects of our study of the universe that fascinates me is the hunt for dark matter. That elusive material that doesn’t interact with much makes it difficult but not impossible to detect.  Gravitational lenses are one such phenomena that point to its existence indeed it allows us to estimate how much there is in galaxy clusters. A paper now suggests that observations of Jupiter by Cassini in 2000 suggest we may be able to detect it using planets too.  Dark matter is as its name suggests, mysterious and elusive. It is believed to account for about 27% of the universe’s mass and energy. However unlike ordinary matter – of the like that makes up you and me; the stars and planets, dark matter doesn’t emit, absorb or reflect light making it invisible and difficult to detect.  Its very existence is only inferred from the effect its gravity has on visible matter and the large scale structure of the universe.  The foundations for an interesting twist in the search for dark matter were laid in 1997 with the launch of the Cassini spacecraft from Cape Canaveral in the US. A seven year journey began that would take the probe from Earth to Saturn utilising gravitational slingshots from Venus, Earth and Jupiter. On board was a plethora of instruments to record data from radio waves through to extreme ultraviolet. En-route to Saturn, Cassini would be used to observe the planets using multiple wavelengths.  Of particular interest to the mission was using the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to measure levels of hydrogen ions known as trihydrogen cations. They are a common ion found across the universe and are produced when molecular hydrogen interacts with cosmic rays,  extreme ultraviolet radiation, planetary lightning, or electrons accelerated in planetary magnetic fields.  The team explore how dark matter can also produce trihydrogen cation in the atmosphere of planets. Any dark matter that is captured by planetary atmospheres – in particular the ionosphere – and is consequently annihilated, can produce detectable ionising radiation.  Using data from Cassini VISM system, the team have searched for dark matter ionisation in the ionosphere of Jupiter. Due to Jupiter’s relatively cool core, it was identified as the most efficient dark matter captor in the Solar System allowing dark matter particles to be retained. The challenge was to identify the signals over the background ‘noise’ from other radiation so the team had to use data from 3 hours either side of Jovian midnight. Choosing this time meant solar extreme ultraviolet irradiation was at a minimum. They also focussed on lower latitudes, keeping away from the high magnetic fields around the polar regions.  This NIRCam composite image of Jupiter was created using three filters – F360M (red), F212N (yellow-green), and F150W2 (cyan), Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Jupiter ERS Team; image processing by Judy Schmidt. The detection of dark matter ionisation in the Jovian atmosphere reveals a whole new method for understanding this strange and mysterious cousin of normal matter. It is not just planets in our Solar System though, exoplanets are a new possible source especially those based in dark matter rich regions of the Galaxy.  Source : Search for Dark Matter Ionization on the Night Side of Jupiter with Cassini The post Dark Matter Could Cause Jupiter’s Night Side to Glow appeared first on Universe Today.

what is a GREYWALKER: A greywalker is a mortal who has died for two minutes and comes back to life with the ability to see through "the grey", or "the veil". As a greywalker, they have ability to see through / move through the Grey – the realm of ghosts, spirits, vampires, witches, necromancers, poltergeists, revenants, zombies, Voodoo mages, Native American monster, mermaids, otter-people, tentacled merfolk, Chinese demons, Egyptian goddess, creature of ancient legend, bone mages, necromancy, Sirens, Irish Sea Hounds, beast that guards the Grey, mythical creatures – and these creatures can see you as well.

The whole point of being a greywalker is to help those who come to you for assistance, however some entities are more about exacting REVENGE — so you have to be extremely careful when agreeing to help someone / something that you see in the grey ( or that has seen you ! )

How Lourdes' died for two minutes: While on the job searching for a woman who had murdered her parents ( and fled to Helena, Montana where her abusive Uncle lived to kill him too ) — Lourdes ended up stabbed by the woman in question and fell, hitting her head on a rock. She was rushed to the hospital when her partner ( Lorenzo Arturo Rodríguez ) found her after apprehending the woman. In the back of the ambulance, bleeding out slowly from both wounds — Lourdes was dead for two minutes before the paddles brought her back to life. She passed out after that, waking up a few days later in the hospital — fully aware that she had died and come back, adamant to now seek out help from psychics or anyone else within the preternatural realm to help her understand why she was seeing what she was seeing.

Our Galaxy is Caught Up in a Giant Cosmic Cobweb! 🕸️

If we could zoom waaaay out, we would see that galaxies and galaxy clusters make up large, fuzzy threads, like the strands of a giant cobweb. But we'll work our way out to that. First let's start at home and look at our planet's different cosmic communities.

Our home star system

Earth is one of eight planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — that orbit the Sun. But our solar system is more than just planets; it also has a lot of smaller objects.

An asteroid belt circles the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Beyond Neptune is a doughnut-shaped region of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt. This is where dwarf planets like Pluto and Makemake are found and is likely the source of short-period comets (like Haley’s comet), which orbit the Sun in less than 200 years.

Scientists think that even farther out lies the Oort Cloud, also a likely source of comets. This most distant region of our solar system is a giant spherical shell storing additional icy space debris the size of mountains, or larger! The outer edge of the Oort Cloud extends to about 1.5 light-years from the Sun — that’s the distance light travels in a year and a half (over 9 trillion miles).

Sometimes asteroids or comets get ejected from these regions and end up sharing an orbit with planets like Jupiter or even crossing Earth’s orbit. There are even interstellar objects that have entered the inner solar system from even farther than the Oort Cloud, perhaps coming all the way from another star!

Our home galaxy

Let's zoom out to look at the whole Milky Way galaxy, which contains more than 100 billion stars. Many are found in the galaxy’s disk — the pancake-shaped part of a spiral galaxy where the spiral arms lie. The brightest and most massive stars are found in the spiral arms, close to their birth places. Dimmer, less massive stars can be found sprinkled throughout the disk. Also found throughout the spiral arms are dense clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. The Sun lies in a small spiral arm called the Orion Spur.

The Milky Way’s disk is embedded in a spherical “halo” about 120,000 light-years across. The halo is dotted with globular clusters of old stars and filled with dark matter. Dark matter doesn’t emit enough light for us to directly detect it, but we know it’s there because without its mass our galaxy doesn’t have enough gravity to hold together!

Our galaxy also has several orbiting companion galaxies ranging from about 25,000 to 1.4 million light-years away. The best known of these are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are visible to the unaided eye from Earth’s Southern Hemisphere.

Our galactic neighborhood

The Milky Way and Andromeda, our nearest neighboring spiral galaxy, are just two members of a small group of galaxies called the Local Group. They and the other members of the group, 50 to 80 smaller galaxies, spread across about 10 million light-years.

The Local Group lies at the outskirts of an even larger structure. It is just one of at least 100 groups and clusters of galaxies that make up the Virgo Supercluster. This cluster of clusters spans about 110 million light-years!

Galaxies aren’t the only thing found in a galaxy cluster, though. We also find hot gas, as shown above in the bright X-ray light (in pink) that surrounds the galaxies (in optical light) of cluster Abell 1413, which is a picturesque member of a different supercluster. Plus, there is dark matter throughout the cluster that is only detectable through its gravitational interactions with other objects.

The Cosmic Web

The Virgo Supercluster is just one of many, many other groups of galaxies. But the universe’s structure is more than just galaxies, clusters, and the stuff contained within them.

For more than two decades, astronomers have been mapping out the locations of galaxies, revealing a filamentary, web-like structure. This large-scale backbone of the cosmos consists of dark matter laced with gas. Galaxies and clusters form along this structure, and there are large voids in between.

The scientific visualizations of this “cosmic web” look a little like a spider web, but that would be one colossal spider! <shudder>

And there you have the different communities that define Earth’s place in the universe. Our tiny planet is a small speck on a crumb of that giant cosmic web!

Uranus is observed producing X-rays for the first time

Uranus is called ‘the weirdest planet' in the Solar System due its sideway rotation and not having a true surface, but a new discovery adds even more mystery to the strange ice giant.

Astronomers detected X-rays coming from Uranus for the first time that is mostly reflections from the sun, but some of the signal is being emitted from the planet itself.

The team suggest the rings surrounding the planet are producing the X-rays, similar to that of Saturn, or could come from auroras as they do on Jupiter.

Determining the sources of the X-rays from Uranus could help astronomers better understand how more exotic objects in space, such as growing black holes and neutron stars, emit X-rays.

Electric Rings What force created and sustains Saturn’s rings? Saturn’s main rings, including gaps, are approximately 416,000 kilometers wide, but are estimated to be a mere 50 meters thick, possibly as little as 10 meters. This means that even the most powerful Earth-based telescopes can detect only a thin wire extending across the planetary disk when they are edge-on. Every fourteen or fifteen years, Saturn’s rings become invisible to telescopes on Earth. That equinox passed in August of 2009, so the rings are now shifted to the north. The reason for the ring tilt is that Saturn, itself, is tilted on its axis by 27.4 degrees. Since the rings are tilted at the same angle, as Saturn revolves around the Sun in its 30 year orbit, it gradually brings them into visual alignment with its equator. Astronomers think that the rings were formed in one of three ways: they are the icy leftovers from the original nebular cloud out of which the planet condensed; a small moon gradually came too close, whereupon it was torn apart by Saturn’s tidal forces; or the rings formed after a moon was destroyed by an asteroid, leaving the fragments in orbit. Regardless of the way they were formed, they are theorized to be over four billion years old—almost as old as the Solar System. What keeps the rings together and in place is still a mystery to astrophysicists. If they formed billions of years ago, they should have been drawn into Saturn’s gravitational maelstrom and destroyed. It is thought that micro-meteorite impacts “erode” material off some small moons and eject it into orbit, where it is slowly sorted by Saturn’s gravity field into thousands of individual bands. The rings are sustained because some moons are getting smaller all the time. This is known as “billiard ball” physics. Electric Universe theory sees things differently. In a previous Picture of the Day about Saturn’s plasmasphere, it was noted that planets and moons do not exist in an electrically neutral environment. Saturn, in particular, has a family of moons that exhibit electric discharge machining on a vast scale, as well as features within its atmosphere that could be characterized as lightning discharges. The aurorae on Saturn emit intense radio waves and the planet is surrounded by a torus of plasma that emits X-rays and extreme ultraviolet light. Saturn displays many aspects that are predicted by the Electric Universe theory, including the shape of its rings. In 1913 Kristian Birkeland wrote: “It seems almost incredible that such a ring of cosmic dust should be able to exist for ever, so to speak, without other governing forces than gravitation…” Planets with magnetic fields can trap hot particles to form giant electrified clouds. NASA scientists note that Saturn’s magnetic field bends around Enceladus “due to electric currents generated by the interaction of atmospheric particles and the magnetosphere of Saturn.” Further flattening of the plasma torus on the sunward side demonstrates an electrical (not mechanical) effect is occurring between Saturn and the Sun. Gravity-only models of the Solar System insist that Saturn’s rings were created, held and shaped by the activity of “shepherd moons” and angular momentum. Instead, electrical forces that are orders of magnitude more powerful than gravity seem more likely. Image: Don Davis
