Unterhaltsam erläutert das Autorenteam um Harald Lesch die Entdeckungsgeschichte unserer Galaxie. Lediglich im hinteren Teil fehlt es dem Buch ein wenig an Struktur. Eine Rezension

#cryovolcanic #comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is passing by the #Andromeda #Galaxy in the western evening sky. Petr Horálek photographed the wide conjunction from Revúca, #Slovakia:
"This was wild," says Horálek. "On March 5th, I drove 300 km to Telgart, Slovakia, where the forecast predicted clear skies. But the forecast was wrong! When I reached Telgart, the sky was hopelessly cloudy. I almost gave up and was returning home through truly thick fog when, abruptly, the sky cleared. I pulled into a field where the comet was low over the horizon and blindly took this exposure."
It turned out pretty well.

Music for working late. Music, too, for days that hide the vastness of space behind nightly clouds.

Have you ever seen the #Andromeda #galaxy? Chances are you probably have, even if you don't know it. Although M31 appears as a faint and fuzzy blob to the unaided eye, the light you see will be over two million years old, making it likely the oldest light one can ever see directly. The featured image captured Andromeda with long duration camera exposures just before it set behind the #Swiss #Alps.
#Andromeda Unbound #poetry #mythreimagined
Primal emergent scene of fear/betrayal/rage
Against prosaic life tuned to a simpler age
A woman and a man and progeny of course
A life tailored to plan, no stranger to remorse
So early in the days of what might hence occur
The learning of the ways of how to be are stirred
So legends have been cast, so myths in mist abound
As some realities are buried underground.
It was a cold and gilded house, camouflaged as home
It was a brutal game of chance camouflaged as life
Chain me to my jagged rock and let me bleed
Let the ravage start, I will not plead,
My tears will only flow when primed by raging seas
They say that life’s a school, we must learn or die
They knock into us what, where, when, forgetting why
Each put into our place and left to wait our turn
It’s not about what we may be, but what we earn.
Tree-lined sidewalks, car-lined streets, children at play
It seems so calm and peaceful, keeping fear at bay
Do the laundry, buy the groceries, pay the heating bills
Get it done, don’t delay, no matter who it kills.
It was a curse hurled from the gods, but it wasn’t mine
Punishment for a crime of pride I did not commit
Clinging to my prison door, I hide my eyes
Expecting no pardon from the skies
No where left to go to hide from my mind’s lies
What can’t be told infects a deep and deadly path
Buried wounds untended surface into storms of wrath
A beaten creature huddles beneath a snarling face
Dying for a welcome smile, the warmth of caring grace
Some doors left open lead to mystic hidden rooms
Of purple velvet drapes, plush carpets and rare perfumes
The tapestry of life upon an ancient wall
Or was it down a rabbit-hole you meant to fall?
I begged a chance to be saved, but it was not my time
The monster’s howl a hungry hound denying rest
Lost in a tempest, finding none to care
Petrified by my own inward icy stare
Bound and cursed by the gods, of what use is prayer?
Comes the time in spiraling life of do or die
Take the time to breathe the air, read visions from the sky
Willing change, allowing pain to tell its sorry tale
Rearrange the picture’s frame, learn to adjust the scale
The rules laid down to keep us bound were never friends
A hero’s quest with divine intent can open stories’ ends
Gods inspire nature’s desire for beauty, healing, choice
Reclaiming heart, we do our part, obeying our true voice
Opening my eyes, raising my voice, I claim my power
The gods respond not with violence but with joy
Claiming my life as my own, I turn my demons into stone
Free at last my spirit soars as I
dance by day through sweet Olympian fields — by night among the stars
#Uttarabhadra (The latter one who possesses lucky feet) (333°20′ to 346°40′ Pisces)
#Uttarabhadrapada #nakshatra nconsists of two #stars, Gamma Pegasi and Alpha Andromedae, which connect the constellations of #Pegasus and #Andromeda in modern astronomy. The symbol for this nakshatra is the latter half of the funeral cot that it shares with the nakshatra #Purvabhadra. This nakshatra is also associated with fire purification and passion, but is less aggressive than the former star. The ruling deity, Ahir Bhudhanya, gives Uttarabhadra the desire to examine things at depth and explore the kundalini energy. Those born under this star are compassionate, virtuous, and drawn to humanitarian causes. They require solitude and time for contemplation, but must be cautious of laziness and isolation. Uttarabhadra nakshatra is full of wisdom and determination, yet understands the necessity of patience in obtaining the highest achievement.
Sacred Energy Vortex
#Theeyaththoor #Sri #Sahasra #Lakshmeeswarar #Temple
The Sri Sahasra Lakshmeeswarar Temple resonates with the energy of Uttara Bhadrapada star and is located at Theeyaththoor near Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, India. Uttara Bhadrapada is composed of three sacred ponds of fire. Goddess Lakshmi gathered fire lotus flowers every day from Uttara Bhadrapada star. Goddess Lakshmi performed archana with #1008 golden lotus flowers to the Sivalinga at this temple. Lord #Shiva manifested as Sri Sahasra (meaning 1000) Lakshmeeswarar at Theeyaththoor.
The darshan of Sri Sahasra Lakshmeeswara #Sivalinga can give unexplainable positive effects in a person’s life. The darshan of Goddess Lakshmi brings auspicious benefits of prosperity and graciousness. Those people born under Uttarabhadra nakshatra should worship at this temple during their life time. Those born under a different star will also benefit by worshiping at this temple. If a person grinds sandalwood with their own hands and then anoints the deities, Sri Sahasra Lakshmeeswarar will grant nobility and can assist with remedies for heat related illnesses. It is also propitious to offer fruit juices or sweets to the poor people at the temple.
The temple at Theeyaththoor is a special place for performing fire rituals. Sri Vinayaka Peruman performed a fire ritual for his marriage ceremony at Theeyaththoor when the fourth waning moon and Uttarabhadra nakshatra occurred on the same day (Thilakundha Chaturthi). Performing a fire ritual (homa) on this day has the power to remove obstacles related to finances. It is auspicious for people born under Uttara Bhadrapada to perform a fire ritual at least once in their life.
Uttarabhadra nakshatra natives, your #incense is made with the #herb #Neem as prescribed by the Vedas.
Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.
Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.

#Airglow Sky Over #France by #JulienLooten
This unusual sky was both familiar and unfamiliar. The photographer's mission was to capture the arch of the familiar central band of our #MilkyWay #Galaxy over a picturesque medieval manor. The surprise was that on this January evening, the foreground sky was found glowing in a beautiful but unfamiliar manner. The striped bands are called airglow and they result from air high in Earth's atmosphere being excited by the Sun's light and emitting a faint light of its own. The bands cross the entire sky -- their curved appearance is due to the extremely wide angle of the camera lens. In the foreground lies Château de Losse in southwest France. Other familiar sky delights dot the distant background including the bright white #star #Sirius, the orange planet Mars, the blue #Pleiades star cluster, the red California Nebula, and, on the far right, the extended #Andromeda Galaxy. The initial mission was also successful: across the top of the frame is the arching band of our Milky Way.
