An international team of researchers using the 10m
telescope at the W.M. Keck Observatory have discovered unusual class of
galaxies, called ultra-diffuse galaxies, in distant space. These “diffuse”
galaxies are 60,000 light years across — almost as wide as our own galaxy — but
contain only 1% of the stars found in normal galaxies. These galaxies are so
“fluffy” and “wispy” that astronomers have no ideea how they have formed. This
new findings have been published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. May 20; http://www.cosmosup.com/astronomers-discovered-new-class-of-galaxies-that-shouldnt-exist/
The Capricorn
Ingress chart holds a special place of importance in mundane. Many astrologers
look upon as the annual chart. Shown here is the Capricorn Ingress chart for
the location of the W. M. Keck near the summit of Mauna Kea in the U.S. state
of Hawaii. Notice that the Uranus-Pluto square along with Mercury is on the
angles. By now we are familiar with the
fact that the current Uranus-Pluto square is about scientific breakthroughs.
On the
descendant are stars on the billowing sails of the great celestial ship
Argo and the wings of the Virgin and the
Raven so that Diana Rosenberg associates this area with explorations and
discoveries, air and space events giving the following examples.
This was Sun and
Jupiter in 1957 when the USSR launched
the Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite and the Moon at the moment
the first human set foot on it in 1969. Even those who do not fly are drawn to
the sky and light: there are chart elements here of the 17th century
experimental physicist Robert Hooke, the first to build a reflecting Gregorian
telescope; 17th – 18th century mathematician astronomer Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh, builder of yantras, massive stone instruments for analysing the heavens;
19th century industrialist/ manufacturer
of optical instruments Carl Zeiss etc.
If we
progress the Ingress chart to May 20, the date of the news, notice that the
Mercury-Uranus-Pluto realigns with the angles and the Ascendant is now conjunct
the same stars that were on the descendant of the Ingress chart suggesting that
this was one day in which discoveries connected with space could take place.
