Researchers
from the University
of Bristol have revealed
"a universal explanation" for many of the dazzling coloured and
silvery reflections in the natural world. The team revealed that disordered
layers of crystals that are responsible for silvery reflective scales of fish
reflect light in the same way as coloured, iridescent insect wings and
carapaces. The research reveals just how shiny creatures have evolved nanoscale
structures that exploit light. The team also says that humans could copy the
effect to produce, for example, hyper-reflective surfaces. Disordered layers of
crystals also produce many gleaming examples in the insect world. Different
amounts of this nano-scale disorder is found in the surface of fish scales,
butterfly wings and beetle carapaces, and produces an effect known as Anderson localisation.

To
understand this news we will go back to the solar eclipse of November 3, 2013
at Bristol . The
eclipse luminaries are conjunct the TNP Poseidon amid stars of Corona Borealis.
Poseidon
It is clear to see that this energy relates to glass
and mirrors, that which lets light thru, or reflects it back, in either case
not taking on whatever it is that passes thru or reflects back... it stays pure
and true to its nature. [1]
That the
constellation of Corona Borealis is associated with bright colors can been seen
from the astrological influences of the
constellation given by Manilius [2]:
"Corona the Crown's lustrous ring, which
twinkles with varying luminosity; for the circle is dominated by a single star
[Alphecca], which with passing splendor sparkles in the mid forehead and
enhances with its blazing flame the bright lights of the constellation. They
shine as the memorial of deserted Ariadne" [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st
century AD, book 5, p.29].
"The child of the Crown will cultivate a
garden budding with bright flowers and slopes. Grey with olive (trees) or green
with grass. He will plant pale violets, purple hyacinths, lilies, poppies which
vie with bright Tyrian dyes, and the rose which blooms with the redness of
blood, and will stipple meadows with designs of natural color…Such is the
endowment prescribed by the years of the Maid and the flowers of the
Crown" [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 5, p.321.]
The stars
alpha and beta Pavo rise on the Ascendant.
Pavo, the Peacock,
is of integration, illumination, and beauty, is enduring and immortal,
and brings inspiration to express the beauty that we are and that we truly
envision [3]
In Greek myth the stars that are now the Peacock
were Argos [or
Argus], builder of the ship Argo. He was changed by the goddess Juno into a
peacock and placed in the sky along with his ship." Indeed, the peacock
"symboliz[ed] the starry firmament" for the Greeks, and the goddess
Hera was believed to drive through the heavens in a chariot drawn by peacocks. As recounted in Ovid's Metamorphoses, the death of
Argus Panoptes also contains an explicit celestial reference: "Argus lay
dead; so many eyes, so bright quenched, and all hundred shrouded in one night.
Saturnia [Hera] retrieved those eyes to set in place among the feathers of her
bird [the peacock, Pavo] and filled his tail with starry jewels." [4]
Progressing
the eclipse chart to Oct.22, the date of the news, brings the Pluto-Uranus
square to the horizon axis. Among other things, Uranus-Pluto is about
scientific discoveries. Also the eclipse Sun and the TNP Poseidon align with
the MC and the Ascendant with kappa and
lambda Pavo bringing to us a news item which combines the colours of Nature (here indicated as the Peacock and the
many hued flowers of Corona Borealis) with
Poseidon (light, refraction).
