NASA's New Horizons probe reaches Pluto





A Nasa spacecraft that will hurtle past Pluto on Tuesday at more than 45,000 kilometres per hour has revealed the dwarf planet to be larger than scientists thought. Fresh measurements from New Horizons, the first spacecraft to reach Pluto on the outer edge of the solar system, show that it is 2,370 kilometres across, roughly two-thirds the size of Earth’s moon. July 14



New Horizons is an interplanetary space probe that was launched on January 19, 2006, as part of NASA's New Frontiers program. The spacecraft was launched to study Pluto, its moons and the Kuiper Belt, performing flybys of the Pluto system and one or more Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs).






Here we will see that the sidereal Capricorn Ingress chart (“Capsolar”) contains the clue for this momentous space event. The current Capsolar at Cape Canaveral, from where New Horizons, was launched is shown here. Notice that a sharp Uranus-Pluto-TNP Zeus T-square straddles the meridian. The Uranus-Pluto square is about scientific breakthroughs while the TNP Zeus on the MC is in area of the sky connected to space exploration. Diana Rosenberg mentions that this area brings events connected to the sky such as astronomy, astrology, meterology, navigation, aviation and space and cites the following examples under transits to these stars:

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.

In addition, previous blogs on this site that confirm the connection of these stars to space events are given in the references below [1][2][3][4].






Progressing the Capsolar to July 14 brings the T-square once again in alignment with the meridian triggering its potential and bringing us the news on the Pluto flyby! (Also note that transit Mars [13cn] activates the T-square.)
