"I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You've left me in the dark No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You've left me in the dark (you left me in the dark) No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart" -Florence and The Machine

lmao guess who decided to not only list down the names of the stars in Cub's pyramid, but also measure distances and angles so I can make a star map as well. It is gonna be a real pretty design when it's done though. :D

However, lemme just say, this is not an easy task on a sky made of black concrete using just a full circle protractor and a ruler. Also Popstar's might be a lil out, I accidentally broke it doing initial measurements and I'm not certain I got in back in the right place. D: And I think I need to redo the south measurements, bc I had what I thought was my north placement in the south lmao. XD So I may need to fix those.

It's been, like, three hours so far, with drafting, measuring, mapping, note-taking, screencapping, etc. I am def not getting this all done tonight. I have mathed too hard tonight already. XD Time for a dinner break. I want to at least get the measurements done. I can do more work tomorrow.

i think one of the reasons spock really gets to me as a character is not just the depth of emotion he feels but the depth of loneliness. even if he tries so hard to deny it to himself. 

#that and like. ahhhhhhhhh his scientific inquiry like sometimes u DO study a very silly niche field and youre sooo excited to look at #star maps #star trek #spock

Possible stellar asterisms carved on a protohistoric stone

Two couples of stone disks found at the entrances and cemeteries of Protohistoric hill forts in the north-eastern Adriatic area were suggested to have a symbolic meaning representing the Sun and the Night Sky (Bernardini et al. 2022).

In one pair the night sky is symbolically represented by a number of natural holes made by marine bivalves but in the other stone studied here the marks are made by a human hand and show a pattern. We performed a statistical comparison of the chisel marks with the most common asterisms to try to establish if they were randomly made or they had some intentionality. We have found that:

The whole pattern is composed by 29 chisel marks, 24 in the front face of the stone and 5 on the back. 28 chisel marks are consistent with the asterisms of Scorpius, Orion, Pleiades and, perhaps, of Cassiopeia on the back side of the stone. The correlation between the chisel marks and the stellar position is very high

The Sun is Lost

Looking at the celestial globes of the Venetian Coronelli (1650–1718) it is possible to appreciate the cosmos, as it was before modern science swept it away. My guide to star maps comments “The constellation figures are detailed, robust, and theatrical, in keeping with their Baroque style.”

The emphasis is on pictorial splendour, although the locations of stars are accurate. One of Coronelli’s clients was Louis XIV, the Sun King, and there is a strong feeling, for me, of the ancien regime about to be swept away by a deluge of abstraction and rationality. As early as 1611, John Donne had written 

And new philosophy calls all in doubt,

The element of fire is quite put out,

The sun is lost, and th'earth,

and no man's wit Can well direct him where to look for it.

The world, as an orderly place made up of proximate living objects, was replaced by chaos, distance and coldness. A star map plays a particular trick of showing empty immensities overlaid with familiar corporeal things. The trick is called cosmography, and the scientific revolution of the seventeeth century brought it to an end. Alexandre Koyré summed it up as two events: “the destruction of the cosmos” and “the geometrization of space”:

As for myself, I have endeavored in my Galilean Studies to define the structural patterns of the old and the new world-views and to determine the changes brought forth by the revolution of the seventeenth century. They seemed to me to be reducible to two fundamental and closely connected actions that I characterised as the destruction of the cosmos and the geometrization of space, that is the substitution for the conception of the world as a finite and well-ordered whole, in which the spatial structure embodied a hierarchy of perfection and value, that of an indefinite or even infinite universe no longer united by natural subordination, but unified only by the identity of its ultimate and basic components and laws; and the replacement of the Aristotelian conception of space—a differentiated set of innerworldly places—by that of Euclidean geometry—an essentially infinite and homogenous extension—from now on considered as identical with the real space of the world.

The spiritual change that I describe did not occur, of course, in a sudden mutation. Revolutions, too, need time for their accomplishment; revolutions, too, have a history. Thus the heavenly spheres that encompassed the world and held it together did not disappear at once in a mighty explosion; the world-bubble grew and swelled before bursting and merging with the space that surrounded it.

From about 1800 onward, the illustrative constellation figures on star maps were progressively deleted. It happened over the course of the career of the mathematician and astronomer Gauss. Around 1800, he calculated the orbit of the asteroid Ceres, and a symbol was assigned to it–the sickle. By the time he died in 1855, asteroids were no longer being given symbols, but were numbered instead. Over the same period, star atlases evolved from the lavishly illustrated Uranographia of 1801 to the completely plain maps of the 1840s. The rectilinear boundaries of the constellations, defined in terms of celestial coordinates, were the only lines left on the charts. In science more generally, a Cartesian grid of rationalization had been laid over nature, facilitating abstraction and numerical measurement.

It is easy, in isolation, to mourn this move from the figurative and fanciful to the inhumanly precise and austere presentation of data. Many other changes took place in this period which cannot be boiled down to a simple transition from the poetic to the prosaic. But there is something compelling about about the loss of the powerfully visual, detailed constellation illustrations, and their replacement with mere geometry, a reductive set of measured points.

The fact is that when an astronomer goes into his observatory for his night's work he finds it usually convenient to leave all the ecstatic and most of the poetic portions of his constitution outside.—Robert Ball (1892)

Astrology Update

19/20th May is our next New Moon occurring at 1.53 am AEST, at 28 degrees in Taurus

Key Words - Expansion, sensuality, sexuality, abundance, foundations, growth.

There is so much beautiful energy with Venus dancing here as she rules Taurus. It is time to connect with the pleasures of Earth and yourself.

What does Mother Earth offer us?

I invite you to feel into this energy and take notice of what comes up for you. There is greatness awaiting you IF you choose to be in flow.

Wait there is so much more!

Key points

Jupiter, one of my favourite planets travels around Earth approximately every 12 years, spending about 1 year in each sign.

We know Taurus is all about earthly pleasures, stability, structure, money, sensuality, sexuality and Jupiter is awakening, expansion, optimism, movement/travel, healing, prosperity and good fortune.

Can you see the star map in creation here?

Be mindful, slow down and take time to smell the Roses.....

The world is changing as we know it, be connected, be attuned and align yourself to your personal Star Map for there is a world of abundance ready for us....

Recently we had two potent eclipses that felt very deeply emotional for many. We are now being called to set the scene for this new earth, new way of being after releasing the old during the Scorpio full moon and partial Lunar eclipse.

Let us not forget Pluto and Saturn with such potent energy offering us the gift of transformation and new beginnings.

Neptune in Pisces and, Mars and Venus in Cancer bringing the element of water into this New Moon in Taurus...listen to your intuition, be in receiving of what is offered to you through your dreams. Step in to your strength and inner knowing, be courageous as you experience the twists and turns in life.

There is much more to discuss with all the stars dancing above us and I am very curious as to how you are feeling, what is going on in your life right now?

Are you ready to engage and traverse the cosmic magick?

Our birthright is written in the star constellations within the Milky Way but also outside our galaxy.Why is it so hard to believe that many civilizations past used the stars to navigate our oceans? Why?Our race has always been aided by extraterrestrial civilizations that has transmitted their knowledge to those who were ready to listen and guide their tribes through seas of sand and waters.Knowledge has always been available ,always ! The sad truth is that religions,kingdoms ,politicians and those in power choose to steal and prohibit the transmission of such celestial knowledge. We have as a race been lied and brainwashed but,the truth has always find a way out and it will always win the day.Words and artwork by Sergio GuymanProust.
