Spiders Invented Knees

Spiders were the first creatures on Earth to evolve knees, according to a new study that also explains how this happened. Knees began as a gene in fruit flies and other insects that duplicated and evolved in spiders, resulting in primary leg joints, reports the study, published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution. “Species constantly adapt and evolve by inventing new body features,” lead author Nikola-Michael Prpic of the Göttingen Center for Molecular Biosciences explained in a press release.

We are still in the wake of the powerful eclipses of September. A chart for the solar eclipse at Göttingen, Germany is shown here. It has a skewed Grand Cross aligned with the meridian axis. Uranus-Pluto in the Cross is associated with “scientific breakthroughs” so that a new understanding in the biosciences coming to light is perfectly within its ambit. However, here comes the interesting part. On the descendant [7ar] is the star alpha Reticulum [7ar]. Reticulum means a netlike formation or structure; a network [1].

"In Ancient Rome a class of gladiator, the retiarius, was armed with a net which he used to immobilize his opponent by entangling him in the meshes, thus placing him at his mercy", "Nets may also be compared with the web in which spiders lurk for prey" [Penguin Dictionary of Symbols].

By association then, the constellation Reticulum is linked to spiders. On the MC is epsilon (ε) Gemini, Mebsuta, [10cn] a double star,  brilliant white and cerulean blue, on the right knee of the Twin Castor [2].

So we can see that the research findings at Göttingen would not have been possible without the cosmic energies allowing it!
