Scientists have discovered a winged dinosaur - an
ancestor of the velociraptor - that they say was on the cusp of becoming a
bird. The 6ft 6in (2m) creature was almost perfectly preserved in limestone,
thanks to a volcanic eruption that had buried it in north-east China. And the
125-million year-old fossil suggests many other dinosaurs, including
velociraptors, would have looked like "big, fluffy killer birds". But
it is unlikely that it could fly. The University of Edinburgh and the Chinese Academy
of Geological Sciences collaboration is published in the journal Scientific
Reports. Lead researcher Dr Steve Brusatte said it was "the single most
beautiful fossil I have had the privilege to work on". Jul16 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33510288
A chart for
the last lunar eclipse at Edinburgh is shown here. Since it is placed on the
meridian axis, it has a special significance for the place. Here the eclipse Moon [14li] and the Node
[9li] in the air sign of tropical Libra are conjunct stars in the Crow’s wing
(Algorab, delta Corvi) , China’s Great Red Bird and Draconis (Aldhi’bain), the
Dragon. Diana Rosenberg connects this area to aviation, among other things. The
reconstructed “root” for AVIATION is awi (bird). To AVIATE is to fly, from Latin avis (bird).
One of the
times eclipses are activated is when progressed angles move over them. If now we
progress the eclipse chart to July 16, the date of the news, the progressed
Ascendant reaches a conjunction to the eclipse Moon triggering the configuration
so that we have the discovery of a creature (a Dragon) that was on the cusp of
becoming a bird! Just remember that the Uranus-Pluto square that the eclipse
carries with it is all about breakthroughs.
