Light Echoes from V838 Mon
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, H. E. Bond (STScI)
Explanation: What caused this outburst of V838 Mon? For reasons unknown, star V838 Mon‘s outer surface suddenly greatly expanded with the result that it became one of the brighter stars in the Milky Way Galaxy in early 2002. Then, just as suddenly, it shrunk and faded. A stellar flash like this had never been seen before — supernovas and novas expel matter out into space. Although the V838 Mon flash appears to expel material into space, what is seen in the featured image from the Hubble Space Telescope is actually an outwardly expanding light echo of the original flash. In a light echo, light from the flash is reflected by successively more distant surfaces in the complex array of ambient interstellar dust that already surrounded the star. V838 Mon lies about 20,000 light years away toward the constellation of the unicorn (Monoceros), while the light echo above spans about six light years in diameter.

2,550 Submerged Wooden Objects Recovered From The Templo Mayor Of Tenochtitlan
Archaeologists have recovered as many as 2,550 wooden objects from the Templo Mayor in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico City. The rescued objects have survived more than 500 years submerged in water, some completely flooded.
As explained on AncientPages.com earlier, the “most important sacred temple complex of the Aztecs – the Main Temple (in Spanish: Templo Mayor) was built in the center of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán.
According to Aztec chronicles, the first temple (later followed by its twin temple) was built after 1325 and enlarged several times over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries.
The twin temples were dedicated to the god of rain and fertility, Tlaloc (“the one who makes sprout“), and Huitzilopochtli, god of war and sun.
Aztec chronicles confirm that both gods were frequently appeased with human sacrifices and other public rituals that took place in the temple.”
Scientists report the extraordinary offerings found at the foot of the Great Temple of old Tenochtitlan include darts, dart throwers, pectorals, earrings, masks, ornaments, earmuffs, sceptres, jars, headdresses, a representation of a flower and another of bone, all found in the ritual deposits made by the priests to consecrate a building or make a request to the Aztec gods.

Many of us have hunches about our zodiac sign. Remember Penny, from the Big Bang? First of all, I am a Saggitarius. Perhaps you’ve always had a feeling that people born under a certain animal are more likely to share your interests or personality. Or maybe you think that people who were born under the same astrological constellation as you have similar values, skills, and interests. However, the truth is, that our zodiac sign meaning might not be as reliable as we think it is. No matter how much we wish it wouldn’t be so, no single zodiac element can describe a person completely. Some of us may have traits that are common for those born in a particular sign (like being an early bird), others may only do things that their particular sign indicates (like being very good at music). But with all these inaccuracies aside, knowing what your zodiac sign is supposed to signify can still help you understand yourself better and discover your hidden talents.
What does everyone else think your Zodiac Sign Means?
Your zodiac sign is supposed to represent your intellectual and emotional make-up. It’s your primary personality type. There are 4 types of Zodiac: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.
The first group of the zodiac (Sagittarius, Aries, Leo) is associated with the Fire element and is said to be quick-tempered and impatient. The second group (Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces) is associated with the Water element and takes things slowly. The Wind signs are Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. And the Earth signs are Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn The zodiac sign elements are a great way to help you find out what you’re like when it comes to key personality traits. But there are some misconceptions about what the signs stand for:
- People born under Aries are believed to be selfish and self-centered because they’re always taking care of their needs before others’.
- People born under Virgo are often thought of as perfectionists or hard workers because they’re always productive.
- And people who were born under Scorpio are often seen as dark souls because they have a tendency to feel emotions intensely. Сheck it out here.
Finding out what your true Zodiac Sign is
Whatever your zodiac sign, there is probably a lot more to you than meets the eye. If you want to get a better understanding of yourself, then it may help to know what your zodiac sign is saying about you. To find out what your zodiac sign says about you and what your other signs are saying, understand the meaning of each sign:
Aries: The ram
Taurus: The bull
Gemini: The twins
Cancer: The crab
Leo: The lion
Virgo: The virgin
Libra: The scales
Scorpio: The scorpion
Sagittarius: The archer
Capricorn: The goat
Aquarius – The water-bearer
Pisces – The fish
Assigning New Signs to Old Zodiac Constellations
No matter how accurate you think your zodiac sign dates are, the one that describes you best might not be the one you originally had. Luckily, astrology has been around long enough for there to be a few other signs for old Zodiac constellations. For example, if your sign was Taurus and your constellation was Leo, then you could switch to Virgo. If it was Scorpio and your constellation was Sagittarius, then you could change to Pisces as well. Your new Zodiac constellation can be based on how you feel about life in general or how it relates to yourself specifically. If a certain constellation just doesn’t seem right for you anymore but feels like it fits someone else better, consider changing it up!
HOWEVER: Changing your zodiac sign does not mean that all of your old traits will disappear. You’ll continue to have those same characteristics regardless of which zodiac sign you choose – they’re just labeled differently now.
Who Is Your Real-Life Zodiac Sign?
Just because your sign is on the list, doesn’t mean that you are 100% like that person. It just means that you have a good idea of what type of personality traits and behaviors are common for people of that zodiac sign compatibility. For example, if you’re an Aries, chances are there’s something about you that has Aries written all over it. Your zodiac sign can also provide some insight into your career path. If you know what your zodiac sign says about your personality and interests, you might be able to identify where your passions lie. Additionally, knowing your zodiac sign can help you understand how other people see and relate to you as well as give a better perspective on how you should conduct yourself in different situations.
Other Things You Should Know About Your Zodiac Sign
Zodiac signs you’re born under are usually considered to represent your personality. However, this isn’t always the case. For example, Gemini, which is associated with air and communication, doesn’t really mean anything about the personalities of those who are born under that zodiac sign. Another common misconception is that people born under the same zodiac sign have similar interests and values. This isn’t always true as well. Another thing worth noting is that every person is different and has their own unique traits regardless of the zodiac sign colors they prefer. Finally, personality changes throughout a person’s life with age, so don’t be too quick to pin your personality on your zodiac sign.
How Can You Use This Information?
Knowing your zodiac sign can help you understand yourself better and discover your hidden talents. If you’re not sure what your zodiac sign is, but you think it might be one of these: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, or Scorpio. Try out some of these questions to learn more about yourself: Do you ever feel like you need to prove yourself? Do people often underestimate the intelligence of those born under this sign? What zodiac sign is the smartest? Are people born under this sign often called a know-it-all? Are people born under this sign often seen as being too honest at times? Can someone born under this sign keep their cool when they are angry?
Bottom Line
Knowing your zodiac sign can help you understand yourself better and discover your hidden talents. You might find that the things that are true for you in life are not the same things that are true for people born in other signs. The reality is, that no single zodiac element can describe a person completely so knowing what your zodiac sign is supposed to signify can still help you understand yourself better and discover your hidden talents.

Saturn lends its energies to the last day of the week. Because Saturn is the planet of karma, this day is an excellent time for spellwork involving reincarnation, karmic lessons, the Mysteries, wisdom, and long-term projects.
It is also a good time to being efforts that deal with the elderly, death, or the eradication of pests and disease.
Spell for Today – Energy Binding
This spell is meant to bind the energies around a person to stop them from effectively using magic.
WARNING: Use this with caution, there are currently no counter-spells to stop this. Secondly, there is a possibility your target can breach the barrier if she/he is physically touching a powerful energy source which has greater energy than the barrier itself.
You will need:
Full/New Moon/Sunlight
An energy source or an object of which energy can be drawn
Bowl of water – optional
First, take out a glass bowl, and fill it with water. This is used to gather energy for the spell, but if you don’t want to use the water, choose another energy source. Then, have the water reflect the sun or moon, and say:
Solar flare, Lunar mist
I call on thee this day
Bring forth your light,
strength and power,
so cast this spell I may.
(Imagine the sun/moon energy flowing into the water)
Like I stated above, this is completely optional. Now, to form the barrier. Draw upon your energy source, and send it towards your target. Once you have reached them, attempt to have your energy surround them in a bubble. Then, say:
Light, Earth, Spirits strong
Leave ‘s presence forever long
Let their powers cripple, and fail with dismay
I hereby banish your magic on this very day!
So mote/might/may it be.
Imagine the bubble drawing the energy from your target and all around him, draining him of magical resources. Continue feeding the bubble/shield/wall with energy until you feel you can release them.

Explanation: Simultaneous images from four cameras were combined to construct this atmospheric predawn skyscape. The cooperative astro-panorama captures all the planets of the Solar System, just before sunrise on June 24. That foggy morning found innermost planet Mercury close to the horizon but just visible against the twilight, below and left of brilliant Venus. Along with the waning crescent Moon, the other bright naked-eye planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn lie near the ecliptic, arcing up and to the right across the wide field of view. Binoculars would have been required to spot the much fainter planets Uranus and Neptune, though they also were along the ecliptic in the sky.

What Exactly Is The Purpose of Your Spell?
A spell is designed to initiate change on some level by shifting the balance of energy within a situation. The shift does simply occur in response to your wish for a change: there are certain stages through which you must pass. Let’s take a look at them.
The Basic Steps:
While every spell is different, most steps can be classified somewhere in the following:
- Establish your need or desire. There’s no point in doing a spell for the sake of doing a spell. That’s simply a waste of time and energy.
- Compose your spell. Take the time to think about your desired outcome, and what energies you wish to harness to help you achieve this outcome.
- Shift consciousness. In order to maximize your spellwork, you should ideally be in a spellcasting frame of mind. Author Lilith McLelland calls this being in “magick mode.” Our everyday, scattered, and busy brains aren’t very efficient at gathering energies, including them into a sleek, powerful spell, and releasing them toward a goal. Shifting consciousness allows you to attain a different state of mind, filtering out the surface noise and distractions in order to concentrate and focus on what you’re doing.
- Raise energy and release it toward your goal. This is the moment where spellcrafting becomes spellcasting. Spells are powered by the energies held by the components or ingredient you choose to use and by your own personal energy as well.
- Manifestation. Ideally, the final step is the achievement of your goal.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 6744
Image Credit & Copyright: Basudeb Chakrabarti, Telescope Live
Explanation: Beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across, larger than our own Milky Way. It lies some 30 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Pavo but appears as only a faint, extended object in small telescopes. We see the disk of the nearby island universe tilted towards our line of sight in this remarkably detailed galaxy portrait, a telescopic view that spans an area about the angular size of a full moon. In it, the giant galaxy’s elongated yellowish core is dominated by the light from old, cool stars. Beyond the core, grand spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and speckled with pinkish star forming regions. An extended arm sweeps past smaller satellite galaxy NGC 6744A at the lower right. NGC 6744’s galactic companion is reminiscent of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud.
