THE STAR of the ANTICHRIST BIRTH of a SUPER RED NOVA Speculated Cygnus Constellation Calculations by Luis B THE STAR OF THE ANTICHRIST BIRTH OF A SUPER RED NOVA Speculated Cygnus Constellation Calculations by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org The purpose of this study is to depict the calculated ‘new’ Star that is predicted to be ‘born’ sometime in 2022 in the constellation of Cygnus. This new ‘birth’ will be as a consequence of a colliding binary Star system, KIC 9832227. Based on research, such a prognostication was published in late 2018 but according to Wikipedia, the apparent calculations where not entirely accurate for 2022. However, there has been no other updated sources or a further re-calibration. As the projected event caused some sensationalism around the world initially, so did it come to take on a ‘Messianic’ omen of sorts by some religious Jews because of it. Such ascribed that, assuming the time frame would still be accurate to be sometime in 2022, it would be the ‘Sign’ signaling the arrival of the Jewish Messiah. Of course, many religious Jews have also announced several ‘Signs’ about the coming Messiah that have come and gone. What this study seeks to corroborate it with the Christian End of Days perspective, that if and when the Jewish ‘Messiah’ is to come on the scene by such a celestial ‘Star’, it will in fact be the advent of the New Testament AntiChrist instead. This study will thus consider why such a connotation is ascribed to this interpretation. A brief overview of the press releases will be given. Then the religious Jewish perspective will be also presented. The composition of where and when this ‘new’ Star is to be ‘born’ will be considered for any possible esoterica and/or Biblical prophetic relevance, if any. The hypothesis is that in Biblical terms, as a Star is said to have heralded the advent of Jesus Christ into the world through His incarnation with the Bethlehem Star, perhaps such a similar heralding by a Star will occur as well for His Nemesis. Could this ‘new’ Star to be birthed in the constellation of Cygnus be that Star for the AntiChrist? Ironically the forecast was made officially public on Epiphany, commemorating the visit of the 3 Wise Men, who followed the Star to Bethlehem to encounter Jesus, not only as King of the Jews but that of the Universe who made the Stars. Some 2022 years later, Christian Astronomers from a small religious college, Calvin College in the USA have made the bold, 1-in-a-million prediction that the ‘birth’ of a new Star will take place around 2022. This is based on another calculated Binary Star System that collapsed some years prior and from where their deduced hypothesis originates from. Their research presented the predictions that for the first time in human history, Astronomers could calculate and anticipate when a new Star was to be born. The new Star would be ‘born’ in the ‘right wing’ of the constellation of Cygnus from Earth’s perspective, also known as the Northern Cross next to the Star Vega. It would thus add a Star to the constellation Star pattern. Cygnus is a prominent constellation in the northern sky. Its name means ‘The Swan’ in Latin. Thus, Cygnus is known as the Swan constellation. 1 Mythology of Cygnus In the Denderah Zodiac it is named Tes-ark, which means ‘This from Afar’. Cygnus is associated with the myth of Zeus and Leda in Greek mythology. The constellation is easy to find in the sky as it is part of the well-known astronomical feature of the Summer Triangle. This Summer Triangle consists of the primary Star of Cygnus, Deneb, then Vega in Lyra and Altair in Aguila. Cygnus was first catalogued the by Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century along with Vega. The theory is that the names of the Stars explain the constellations, and the names of the constellations explain the Sign, etc. Cygnus pertains to the main constellation of Aquarius. Cygnus in the Sign of Aquarius completes the ‘Cosmic Storyline’ of the Gospel written in the Stars per Psalm 19 and Romans in the New Testament. It is interesting that Cygnus would come under the main Sign of Aquarius as that is the anticipated Age of the coming New World Order. In the western tradition, Cygnus also belongs to the Hercules family of constellations. The Cygnus constellation is associated with the ancient legends of the Gods that came from the Stars. According to research, the most famous one is Cycnus. He was the murderous son of Ares, the God of War who challenged Heracles to a duel and was killed. Then there is Cycnus, the son of Poseidon, who fought on the side of the Trojans in the Trojan War. Then there is the Spartan Queen Leda. She gave birth to 2 sets of twins, the immortal Pollux and Helen and the mortal Castor and Clytemnestra. The immortal children were fathered by a ‘God’ and the mortal ones by Leda’s husband, King Tyndareus. Cygnus is also sometimes identified as Orpheus. Orpheus was transformed into a swan and placed next to his lyre in the sky’ due to Zeus’ admiration for Orpheus’. This lyre is represented by the neighboring constellation Lyra with the prominent Star of Vega that used to be the North Star around 10-12,000 years ago. The Star cluster of Lyra is next to Cygnus although it is under the domain of the Sign of Sagittarius. Why is this study also focusing on Vega? It is in the same approximate quadrant that his new Super Red Nova is to occur in Cygnus. In 2017 a Star in Cygnus, KIC 8462852 now known as Tabby’s Star produced an anomaly that is unexplained. Some Astronomers are daring to say that the inexplicable fluctuations in its brightness potentially suggests that there might be a presence of an advanced civilization that is affecting this pattern. Vega is also interesting for several reasons. For example, the movie Contact in 1997 perpetrated the notion that the first radio signal coming to Earth from interstellar space came from Vega. Then in 2017, some 20 years later, the Oumuamua anomaly was discovered coming also from Vega. It was announced as comet C/2017 U1 (PANSTARRS) based on a strongly hyperbolic trajectory around the Sun. However, many other scientists are ascribing this object as a possible incapacitated spacecraft probe. There are then of course the myriad of cosmic conspiracy theories that ‘Aliens’ from Vega have come to Earth in the past and have been those that have ‘seeded’ Humanity on Earth along with the Pleiadians and other ‘Gods’, etc. Biblically speaking, when the AntiChrist appears, will such entities, Aliens or ‘Gods’ also appear along with him in conjunction to some ‘Disclosure’? Will such beings then say that they have been in contact with Earthlings all along and from such regions of Cygnus and Vega? 2 A Star is Born Nonetheless, it is anticipated that such an amount of energy emitted from KIC 9832227 in Cygnus will make the binary Star collision event visible on Earth. It will be as bright as the Bethlehem Star for the 1st Christ. The question can be asked, will such a similar depiction suggest the advent of a similar ‘Christ’ to come forth, the AntiChrist? In terms of some technical background and how the Astronomers at Calvin College came to such a conclusion starts with the following. The evidence began in 2008 with a binary Star, V1309 Scorpii. A binary Star is actually 2 Stars or Suns orbiting each other. V1309 Scorpii, about 1,900 was the binary Star system the Astronomers studied that caused a Super Red Nova. It is in the Galactic Center as the ‘tip of the spear’ of the Sign Sagittarius. The observations made from it, after the fact showed that the orbital period between the 2 individual Stars dropped faster and faster as the collision approached. The Astronomers from Calvin College spotted the same pattern in KIC 9832227 in Cygnus from 2013 to 2016. Thus, the prediction for 2022 that possibly, a similar collision and Super Red Nova birth of a new Star is to occur. As KIC 9832227 is nearly 1900 Light Years from Earth, due to the dimensions of space and time the collision actually occurred 1900 years ago already. This is the time it has taken the light of the collision to travel to Earth. KIC 9832227 Binary Sun System in Cygnus right wing Distance: 1843 ly Orbital Period (P): 0.45796151 days SUN A Mass:1.395 M☉ Radius: 1.581 R☉ Luminosity: 2.609 L☉ SUN B Mass: 0.318 M☉ Radius: 0.830 R☉ Luminosity: 0.789 L☉ The crash or merger of these 2 binary Stars in Cygnus’ right wing will be so violent that people on Earth will not need a telescope to spot the new Star. As a consequence of this kind of collision, the brightness of the system will increase to an order of magnitude of 10,000. Or in other words, the resulting explosion will be a 10,000-fold increase in brightness. KIC 9832227 is shining now around magnitude 12. This kind of merging to ‘birth’ a new Star is called a Luminous Red Nova (LRN). The anticipated Nova outburst will be so bright that will be easy to see by the naked eye, as was the Bethlehem Star from Earth that heralded the birth of the Messiah according to prophecy of the Bible. The Astronomers monitored the Star's radio, infrared, and X-ray emissions using a variety of instruments. This included the Very Large Array observatory in New Mexico, the Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii, and the XMM-Newton spacecraft in orbit around Earth.

    SPECIAL FEATURE: PERSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE SPECIAL FEATURE: Exploring exoplanet populations with NASA’s Kepler Mission Natalie M. Batalha1 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, 94035 CA Edited by Adam S. Burrows, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, and accepted by the Editorial Board June 3, 2014 (received for review January 15, 2014) The Kepler Mission is exploring the diversity of planets and planetary systems. Its legacy will be a catalog of discoveries sufficient for computing planet occurrence rates as a function of size, orbital period, star type, and insolation flux.The mission has made significant progress toward achieving that goal. Over 3,500 transiting exoplanets have been identified from the analysis of the first 3 y of data, 100 planets of which are in the habitable zone. The catalog has a high reliability rate (85–90% averaged over the period/radius plane), which is improving as follow-up observations continue. Dynamical (e.g., velocimetry and transit timing) and statistical methods have confirmed and characterized hundreds of planets over a large range of sizes and compositions for both single- and multiple-star systems. Population studies suggest that planets abound in our galaxy and that small planets are particularly frequent. Here, I report on the progress Kepler has made measuring the prevalence of exoplanets orbiting within one astronomical unit of their host stars in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration’s long-term goal of finding habitable environments beyond the solar system. planet detection | transit photometry Searching for evidence of life beyond Earth is the Sun would produce an 84-ppm signal Translating Kepler’s discovery catalog into one of the primary goals of science agencies lasting ∼13 h.

  • Summer Constellations
    Night Sky 101: Summer Constellations The Summer Triangle Photo Credit: Smoky Mountain Astronomical Society The Summer Triangle is made up of three bright stars—Altair, in the constellation Aquila (the eagle), Deneb in Cygnus (the swan), and Vega Lyra (the lyre, or harp). Also called “The Northern Cross” or “The Backbone of the Milky Way,” Cygnus is a horizontal cross of five bright stars. In very dark skies, Cygnus helps viewers find the Milky Way. Albireo, the last star in Cygnus’s tail, is actually made up of two stars (a binary star). The separate stars can be seen with a 30 power telescope. The Ring Nebula, part of the constellation Lyra, can also be seen with this magnification. In Japanese mythology, Vega, the celestial princess and goddess, fell in love Altair. Her father did not approve of Altair, since he was a mortal. They were forbidden from seeing each other. The two lovers were placed in the sky, where they were separated by the Celestial River, repre- sented by the Milky Way. According to the legend, once a year, a bridge of magpies form, rep- resented by Cygnus, to reunite the lovers. Photo credit: Unknown Scorpius Also called Scorpio, Scorpius is one of the 12 Zodiac constellations, which are used in reading horoscopes. Scorpius represents those born during October 23 to November 21. Scorpio is easy to spot in the summer sky. It is made up of a long string bright stars, which are visible in most lights, especially Antares, because of its distinctly red color. Antares is about 850 times bigger than our sun and is a red giant.

To investigate the nova progenitor,we used the data from the Digital Sky Survey and amateur photos available on the Internet. In the period between April 1993 and July 2014, the brightness of the progenitor gradually increased by (Formula presented.) in the V- band. At the peak of the first outburst in mid-November 2014, the star reached an absolute visual magnitude of (Formula presented.) but was discovered later, in February 2015, in a repeated outburst at the magnitude of (Formula presented.). The amplitude of the outburst was minimum among the red novae, only (Formula presented.) in V-band. The Hα emission line and the background of a cool supergiant continuum with gradually decreasing surface temperature were observed in the spectra. Such process is typical for red novae, although the object under study showed extreme parameters: maximum luminosity, maximum outburst duration, minimum outburst amplitude, unusual shape of the light curve. This event is interpreted as a massive OB star system components’merging accompanied by formation of a common envelope and then the expansion of this envelope with minimal energy losses.
