New observations using the Atacama
Large Millimeter/submillimeter array (ALMA )
have given astronomers the best view yet of a monster star in the process of
forming within a dark cloud. A stellar womb with over 500 times the mass of the
Sun has been found — the largest ever seen in the Milky Way — and it is still
growing. The embryonic star within the cloud is hungrily feeding on material
that is racing inwards. The cloud is expected to give birth to a very brilliant
star with up to 100 times the mass of the Sun.
The most massive and brightest stars
in the galaxy form within cool and dark clouds but the process remains not just
shrouded in dust, but also in mystery . An international team of astronomers
has now used ALMA to perform a microwave prenatal scan to get a clearer look at
the formation of one such monster star that is located around 11 000
light-years away, in a cloud known as the Spitzer Dark Cloud (SDC)
335.579-0.292.
Spitzer Dark Cloud 335.579-0.292 is
a stellar womb containing over 500 times the mass of the Sun — and it’s still
growing. Inside this cloud is an embryonic star hungrily feeding on
inwardly-flowing material, and when it’s born it’s expected to be at least 100
times the mass of our Sun… a true stellar monster. The location of SDC
335.579-0.292 in the southern constellation of Norma.[1]
Astrologers
attempt to discover the meaning of a new planet or deep space object in several
ways. One of these is linked to the nature of events that unfolds after its
discovery. An example can be the planet Uranus that has been associated with
revolutions amongst other things. Uranus was discovered in 1781 followed soon
after by the French revolution (1789) that led to a new world order. A second method requires one to look at the star
or constellation in which the object is found. In the case of Uranus it was
conjunct the star Betelgeuse, alpha Orion, variously referred to the Warrior
(shown with an upraised sword) or the “impious wanderer”. In hindsight we can
see how these key phrases are now understood to be a basic character of Uranus
– a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks all rules.
Here we
attempt to apply the same principle to the discovery of the new star SDC
335.579-0.292 in the southern constellation of Norma.
This
constellation, Norma, 'the Carpenter's Square', and its adjoining constellation
Circinus, 'Pair Of Compasses for drawing circles', might be taken as a pair.
The two together are the emblems of masonry, and the symbol of Freemasonry.
Norma et Regula
the Level and Square
Amongst the
Free Masons, the Supreme Being is referred to as the Great Architect of the
Universe, which alludes to the use of architectural symbolism within
Freemasonry. Freemasons, as speculative masons (meaning philosophical building
rather than actual building), use this symbolism to teach moral and ethical
lessons of the principles of "Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth;" or
as related in France , "Liberty , Equality,
Fraternity." The fraternity is widely involved in charity and community
service activities. [2]
Apart
from emphasizing the meaning of the constellation in which the new star was
discovered, the next requirement is to look at the ecliptic longitude of the
star which is 8 Sagittarius. This is conjunct the royal-and-war star Antares [9sa56],
the fiery red heart of the sky-Scorpion.
In
classical astrology, Antares is the star of war and weaponry, and with
expounded meaning, to challenge the established opposing politics (an arena
common to the Antares / Aldebaran axis) with tenacious adamancy. This is
especially in regard to taking a stand against the established conditions of
our personal lives and against the established order or authority directing our
lives when those conditions or that authority are no longer in our best
interest nor supporting our evolutionary freedom and fulfillment. Antares marks
a point of empowerment in sidereal Scorpio, a point of immanation for those who
have embraced their initiations and claimed their self-empowerment. It motivates us to take responsibility for
our reality, for the lives we create, and to "take a stand" for our
truth and to demonstrably and passionately live it. [3]
Conclusion:
It is
possible that this star is referring to a growing need for a new kind of “Free Masonry” that is dedicated to building
a new world order since the existing one
no longer supports our evolutionary fulfilment.
