Rare system of five stars discovered



A team of astronomers led by Dr Marcus Lohr of the Open University, UK, has discovered the first five star system containing two eclipsing binary stars. This star system, known as 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 (J093010 for short) or TYC 3807-759-1, is located 115 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major.

Eclipses are often linked to new discoveries as we have seen in the past and willl see here too. A chart for the last lunar eclipse at Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, the location of the Open University, is shown here. The eclipse is placed on the meridian implying that the place has been chosen for a special event. Since it highlights the Uranus-Pluto square it is connected to breakthroughs in science. The eclipse Moon [14li] is in tropical Libra, an air sign, and conjunct stars in the wings of  the Virgin and the Crow.  Diana Rosenberg mentions that this 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].






Progressing the eclipse chart to July 7, the date of the news, brings the eclipse T-square to the horizon axis thereby triggering the event.

Finally in a strange coincidence, the  ecliptic longitude of the star system 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 is 6Leo which is the exact position of the Ascendant of the eclipse chart!
