You got a Gemini ascendant as an eloquent talkative communicator you are: a real social media expert, yo! WELL? f Well? That’s not entirely accurate5F at all. THE PLOT You see, Gemini has not been rising – ascending – at east for 5000 years now. What is g rising at east – when some default toy “program” for the masses6F is expecting some “zero Gemini” is of course not Gemini at all: it was Cetus – a large zodiacal ascendant and Lord h of the Aeon7F - which by the way lies below Pisces. It is not that the skies don’t change even against our wildest illusions as swinging between precession and flat Earth. TAROT = ZODIAC f Politely for mega taurine bullshit. g For entertainment purposes only. h The present Aeon. 1) The Tarot is the zodiac. 2) There are 22 zodiacal constellations. 3) 16 ascendants rise at east. i 4) One’s guardian angel is represented by one of the 16 ascendants8F . 5) Which zodiacal stations are not ascendants? Scutum, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Pegasus, Aries, Auriga, Gemini, Cancer, Libra… 6) Taurus rises at east only for 5 minutes every day: golden calf a taurine chance on the market! 7) The 22 initiations are the 22 mysteries of the Tarot: zodiacal constellations. 8) The 16 guardian angels propose the elementary permutations. 9) Lodge #1622 SIRIVS is the Tarot. j 10) Kalki9F determined the Tarot 11) Hayagriva determined the Zodiac. 12) As Kalki is Hayagriva so the Tarot is the Zodiac. 13) The Tarot expands from #1622 towards 1008. 14) The 1008 planets form the eternal horoscope of every moment. 15) God and NASA say 13 or 12 are falsity. 16) When zero Gemini is expected to rise in the eastern sky, Cetus rises instead. 17) As Cetus is below Pisces, the “error” is roughly 90 degrees! k 18) Gemini does not rise at east10F . 19) Gemini rose at east some 5000 years ago. 20) Cetus is the zodiacal ascendant of the present Aeon. 21) There are 67 horoscope signs. 22) Depending on the categorization of Eris and Pluto, there are also 43, 30, 28 and so on horoscope signs. 23) Tarot = Zodiac. i In Egypt, we had double the number of present day’s ascendants, making for versatility, diversity and baffling invention. j Hayagrivanantadevasesanagasankarsana uvaca. k For the present epoch. KINDERGARTEN ASTROLOGY “There is a wheel in the sky with 12 animals which rise at east...” Must be one of those stories they have been telling children – a sinister lullaby. )=( She knows by intuition that you have a Gemini ascendant, and so it happens that you do! 5000 BC Or you could have it say 5000 years ago. Namely, the expected zero Gemini never appears in the real sky: Cetus and Pisces rise instead. Don’t worry: the error is merely 90 l degrees or something: no one will notice11F . ASTROLOGY FAQ Are there 67 horoscope signs? Yes. How is this possible? One should ask how 13 or 12 are possible instead. What are the 30? One of the intermediary results. 22? Number of zodiacal stations. m 16? Ascendants12F . l In fact, no one did! m For the current epoch. #2014shift The change is coming, New Golden Age! AION What changes with 2014? This is the first time – for all practical purposes – that Venus enters Scutum. Scutum is one of the standard 22 zodiacal stations and thus one of the 67 signs of the zodiac. You probably had 13 in mind? That would be rather… amateurish. LUCIFER COMING How do we reckon Lucifer’s comings? We take that in the wake of Venus in Pegasus - as falling into Cetus – sensitive initiates have been inspired in picturing Venus as the indomitable she-devil she is. A popular image of a falling batman issued. Dante on his own hellbound initiation must have been inspired! We call that first recent contact the first coming. True, there have been biblical comings – one at least – as rendered in the Bible. These ancient comings are scheduled for printing 2014 – 2017.

Consid- ering processes such as sublimation and Jeans escape, we find that CO 2 ice migrates to low latitudes on geologically short (100s–1000 s of years) timescales. Crater morphology and location create a local cold trap inside Wunda, and the slopes of crater walls and a central peak explain the deposit’s annular shape. The high albedo and thermal inertia of CO 2 ice relative to regolith allows deposits 15-m-thick or greater to be stable over the age of the solar system.

  • Exomoon Habitability Constrained by Illumination and Tidal Heating
    submitted to Astrobiology: April 6, 2012 accepted by Astrobiology: September 8, 2012 published in Astrobiology: January 24, 2013 this updated draft: October 30, 2013 doi:10.1089/ast.2012.0859 Exomoon habitability constrained by illumination and tidal heating René HellerI , Rory BarnesII,III I Leibniz-Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany, [email protected] II Astronomy Department, University of Washington, Box 951580, Seattle, WA 98195, [email protected] III NASA Astrobiology Institute – Virtual Planetary Laboratory Lead Team, USA Abstract The detection of moons orbiting extrasolar planets (“exomoons”) has now become feasible. Once they are discovered in the circumstellar habitable zone, questions about their habitability will emerge. Exomoons are likely to be tidally locked to their planet and hence experience days much shorter than their orbital period around the star and have seasons, all of which works in favor of habitability. These satellites can receive more illumination per area than their host planets, as the planet reflects stellar light and emits thermal photons. On the contrary, eclipses can significantly alter local climates on exomoons by reducing stellar illumination. In addition to radiative heating, tidal heating can be very large on exomoons, possibly even large enough for sterilization. We identify combinations of physical and orbital parameters for which radiative and tidal heating are strong enough to trigger a runaway greenhouse. By analogy with the circumstellar habitable zone, these constraints define a circumplanetary “habitable edge”. We apply our model to hypothetical moons around the recently discovered exoplanet Kepler-22b and the giant planet candidate KOI211.01 and describe, for the first time, the orbits of habitable exomoons.

  • Satellite Constellations - 2021 Industry Survey and Trends
    [SSC21-XII-10] Satellite Constellations - 2021 Industry Survey and Trends Erik Kulu NewSpace Index, Nanosats Database, Kepler Communications [email protected] ABSTRACT Large satellite constellations are becoming reality. Starlink has launched over 1600 spacecraft in 2 years since the launch of the first batch, Planet has launched over 450, OneWeb more than 200, and counting. Every month new constellation projects are announced, some for novel applications. First part of the paper focuses on the industry survey of 251 commercial satellite constellations. Statistical overview of applications, form factors, statuses, manufacturers, founding years is presented including early stage and cancelled projects. Large number of commercial entities have launched at least one demonstrator satellite, but operational constellations have been much slower to follow. One reason could be that funding is commonly raised in stages and the sustainability of most business models remains to be proven. Second half of the paper examines constellations by selected applications and discusses trends in appli- cations, satellite masses, orbits and manufacturers over the past 5 years. Earliest applications challenged by NewSpace were AIS, Earth Observation, Internet of Things (IoT) and Broadband Internet. Recent years have seen diversification into majority of applications that have been planned or performed by governmental or military satellites, and beyond.

Monday, 16 July 2012 DWARF SPHEROIDALS Surrounding the Milky Way are 9 classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies (Scu, For, Leo I, Leo II, UMi, Dra, Car, Sex, Sgr). These contain intermediate age to old stellar populations and no gas. They have velocity dispersions ∼ 8-10 km/s, half-light radius ∼ 200-300 pc, and absolute magnitudes MV brighter than -8. They are all highly dark matter dominated, and are natural targets for indirect detection experiments. What are their dark matter profiles? Are they cusped or cored? Monday, 16 July 2012 DWARF SPHEROIDALS Radial velocity surveys with multi-object spectrographs have now provided datasets of thousands of velocities for the giants stars. Early hopes that the photometry and line of sight velocity dispersion profile could be used to constrain the dark halo give way to pessimism. Most early modelers used the spherical Jeans equations to deduce dark matter properties at the center. Monday, 16 July 2012 JEANS EQUATIONS • The spherical Jeans equation is dangerous! If the light profile is cored (Plummer), then assuming isotropy gives a cored dark matter density. If the light profile is cusped (exponential), then so is the dark halo (An & Evans 2009). • The degeneracies in the Jeans equations are also illustrated by Walker et al.

  • Capture of Interstellar Objects: a Source of Long-Period Comets
    MNRAS 000,1–5 (2019) Preprint 7 January 2020 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Capture of interstellar objects: a source of long-period comets T. O. Hands1?, W.

Capture of such objects is rare and overwhelmingly from low incoming speeds onto orbits akin to those of known long-period comets. This sug- gests that some of these comets could be of extra-solar origin, in particular inactive ones. Assuming ISOs follow the local stellar velocity distribution, we infer a volume capture rate of 0:051au3yr−1. Current estimates for orbital lifetimes and space densities then imply steady- state captured populations of ∼ 102 comets and ∼ 105 ‘Oumuamua-like rocks, of which 0.033% are within 6 au at any time.

Back Cover ON THE COVER: Steve Preston posted a prediction for the occultation of a 10.8-magnitude star in Orion, about 3° from Betelgeuse, by the asteroid (238) Hypatia, which had an expected diameter of 148 km. The predicted path passed over the San Francisco Bay area, and that turned out to be quite accurate, with only a small shift towards the north, enough to leave Richard Nolthenius, observing visually from the coast northwest of Santa Cruz, to have a miss. But farther north, three other observers video recorded the occultation from their homes, and they were fortuitously located to define three well- spaced chords across the asteroid to accurately measure its shape and location relative to the star, as shown in the figure. The dashed lines show the axes of the fitted ellipse, produced by Dave Herald’s WinOccult program. This demonstrates the good results that can be obtained by a few dedicated observers with a relatively faint star; a bright star and/or many observers are not always necessary to obtain solid useful observations. – David Dunham Publication Date for this issue: July 2005 Please note: The date shown on the cover is for subscription purposes only and does not reflect the actual publication date.

  • Claudius Ptolemy: Tetrabiblos
    CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY: TETRABIBLOS OR THE QUADRIPARTITE MATHEMATICAL TREATISE FOUR BOOKS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE STARS TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK PARAPHRASE OF PROCLUS BY J. M. ASHMAND London, Davis and Dickson [1822] This version courtesy of http://www.classicalastrologer.com/ Revised 04-09-2008 Foreword It is fair to say that Claudius Ptolemy made the greatest single contribution to the preservation and transmission of astrological and astronomical knowledge of the Classical and Ancient world. No study of Traditional Astrology can ignore the importance and influence of this encyclopaedic work. It speaks not only of the stars, but of a distinct cosmology that prevailed until the 18th century. It is easy to jeer at someone who thinks the earth is the cosmic centre and refers to it as existing in a sublunary sphere. However, our current knowledge tells us that the universe is infinite. It seems to me that in an infinite universe, any given point must be the centre. Sometimes scientists are not so scientific. The fact is, it still applies to us for our purposes and even the most rational among us do not refer to sunrise as earth set. It practical terms, the Moon does have the most immediate effect on the Earth which is, after all, our point of reference. She turns the tides, influences vegetative growth and the menstrual cycle. What has become known as the Ptolemaic Universe, consisted of concentric circles emanating from Earth to the eighth sphere of the Fixed Stars, also known as the Empyrean. This cosmology is as spiritual as it is physical.

The inferred number density („ 3:5 ˆ 1013 ´ 2 ˆ 1015 pc´3) for a population of asteroidal ISOs10, 11 outnumbers cometary ISOs12 by ¥ 103, in contrast to the much lower ratio (À 10´2) of rocky/icy Kuiper belt objects13. Although some scenarios can cause the ejection of asteroidal ISOs14, 15, a unified formation theory has yet to comprehen- sively link all ‘Oumuamua’s puzzling characteristics and to account for the population. Here we show by numerical simulations that ‘Oumuamua-like ISOs can be prolifically produced through extensive tidal fragmentation and ejected during close encounters of their volatile- rich parent bodies with their host stars. Material strength enhanced by the intensive heating during periastron passages enables the emergence of extremely elongated triaxial ISOs with shape c{a À 1{10, sizes a „ 100 m, and rocky surfaces.
