When galaxies stop making stars, their death is
usually a slow process that chokes them of the necessary cool gases over about
four billion years. That is the conclusion of astronomers who surveyed
thousands of galaxies, living and dead, to assess whether the transition is
rapid or slow. In the dead galaxies they detected high levels of metals, which
build up during star formation and point to a slow strangulation process. In a
commentary for Nature, fellow astronomer Andrea Cattaneo from the Observatoire
de Paris compared this tell-tale evidence to the high levels of carbon dioxide
seen in a strangled human body. "During [strangulation], the victim uses
up oxygen in the lungs but keeps producing carbon dioxide, which remains
trapped in the body," wrote Dr Cattaneo. "Instead of building up CO2,
the strangled galaxies accumulate metals - elements heavier than helium -
produced by massive stars." May 14; http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-32734978
The news
of this scientific discovery comes to us on the eve of the May 18 New Moon. A chart for the New Moon
at London from where the journal Nature
is published is shown here. Notice that the luminaries along with Mars occupy
the Ascendant and are opposite Saturn on the Descendant. Under biological
correspondence for Mars-Saturn, Ebertin lists “death by strangulation” [1].
In
addition, the New Moon [26ta55] is conjunct the star Algol [26ta23]. Beta (β)
Perseus, Algol, is a bright star positioned on the severed head of Medusa that
Perseus is carrying. Diana Rosenberg lists “choking and suffocation” under
events connected with this star [2].
Can it
really be a coincidence that the discovery of the “choking” mechanism by which galaxies die occurs at the New Moon in which the cosmic energies highlighted are connected
with “death by strangulation” ?
