The Extraordinary Spiral in LL Pegasi

Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble, HLA; Processing & Copyright: Jonathan LodgeDodge

Explanation: What created the strange spiral structure on the upper left? No one is sure, although it is likely related to a star in a binary star system entering the planetary nebula phase, when its outer atmosphere is ejected. The huge spiral spans about a third of a light year across and, winding four or five complete turns, has a regularity that is without precedent. Given the expansion rate of the spiral gas, a new layer must appear about every 800 years, a close match to the time it takes for the two stars to orbit each other. The star system that created it is most commonly known as LL Pegasi, but also AFGL 3068 and IRAS 23166+1655. The featured image was taken in near-infrared light by the Hubble Space Telescope. Why the spiral glows is itself a mystery, with a leading hypothesis being illumination by light reflected from nearby stars.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, November 28 to Saturday, December 4, 2021

All Signs

This week begins in a dreamy way that makes us start to wonder about future goals. “What if?” As the week progresses, many of these ideas will start to become a reality. Therefore, this is the week to be confident. Shoot for the stars! Goethe said, “There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents … Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a perfect time to hatch plans for future travel and opportunities to explore your world because these ideas will appeal to you now. Not only do you want to expand your world through travel, many of you also want to expand your world through further education and training. What exciting schools might you attend? Do you want to learn a new language? With Venus at the top of your chart, authority figures are receptive to your suggestions and applications. (Good to know.) Meanwhile, this is a passionate week. However, many of you will also use this energy to help others, especially those who are less fortunate. (Can’t go wrong there.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent time to dream big and conjure up all kinds of future possibilities because with Jupiter at the top of your chart, this is a fortunate time for you. People see you as successful. Many things will go your way. Furthermore, Saturn at the top of your chart indicates that you are in a time of harvest, when you are reaping the benefits of the last 30 years of your life. (Certainly, the last fifteen.) How timely then, to define some goals this week or at least, to dream big! Travel for pleasure appeals. Your focus on shared property, debt and insurance issues continues to be strong. Tension with partners will ease this week because Neptune softens potential conflicts. What do you want your future to hold?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Many planets benefit you right now. Some are supportive of you, especially in a practical way, which means gifts, goodies and favours from others will come to you. Your desire to travel and explore the world is strong, which means this is only one area where you can conjure up dreams for the future. Fiery Mars is in the part of your chart that will energize your work efforts. This is an excellent week for creativity, goalsetting and inspiration. By the end of the week, you’re ready to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You know what you want to achieve and you believe that anything is possible. And it is! (Be patient with partners and close friends while the Sun is opposite your sign. This creates a natural polarity that encourages conflict.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s appropriate for you to think about future goals and dream big because you are energized to work hard now. You are very hands-on with your approach to things because you want to be efficient and effective in everything you do. You want to make your actions count. Sometimes inertia holds you back from beginning. You like to cling to familiarity. Read Goethe’s comments in the All Signs section above. He points out that once you commit to a decision, amazing things will unfold – even things you never dreamed would be possible. You have been getting along with less, but you have survived. About 18 months from now, your reputation will be shining! What are you going to do to deserve this? (Apparently something.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a playful time with increased activity with kids plus a strong interest in the arts, the entertainment world and a chance to express your creative talents. (The stuff you like.) This week is an excellent time to think about how you can achieve something that is important to you. First visualize what might seem to be impossible. That way you get a handle on how it looks. Define it. Name it. Once you can name it – you’re halfway there. As the week progresses, you can embrace a plan that can unfold in a doable way. This year your focus is on external goals – more than it’s been in the last 17 years.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your focus on home and family continues, especially because family discussions are important at this time. In particular, they could involve home improvements and repairs. Many of you are entertaining at home as well, and some of you are able to grab a vacation. Yay! However, at the beginning of this dreamy week, you will start to visualize things that you would like to see happen in the future. These things could be related to your career or your work or they might be fun possibilities that offer escape and exciting adventure. You still have wonderful opportunities to improve your health, as well as improve your job. If you’re successful in doing this – what’s next? A marathon?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a busy active time for you due to short trips, errands, appointments plus, conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Many of you are reading, writing and studying more than usual as well. Nevertheless, this week offers you chances to dream about future possibilities. Some of you will focus on money, cash flow and how to feel more financially secure. Many of you have increased responsibilities with kids or young people at this time. Many of you are also redecorating or entertaining at home and enjoying the beauty of your home. Since these areas are a strong focus, perhaps they will be sources of where you might decide to dream big? Ideas?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week, Mars is in your sign dancing with dreamy Neptune, which prompts you to imagine possible futures for yourself. It makes you focus on ambitious goals. Naturally, this triggers your desire to brainstorm all kinds of possibilities for your future. As the week wears on, you will see ways that some of these dreams can become a reality. You might set about implementing certain plans in a way that they will come to fruition. This energy continues all week. By Friday, you are still enthusiastic about what is possible for your future. This is a wonderful thing! Read the quote by Goethe in All Signs above. The key is commitment to a plan!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an interesting week because you like to think about your future a lot and in particular, you like to dream big. Well, it so happens that the planetary influences this week push absolutely everyone in that direction. You will feel right at home thinking about future goals and ways to achieve them. With the Sun and Mercury in your sign, this is the perfect time to define clearly what you want for your future. Meanwhile, Venus will attract money and gifts to you this week. At this point in your life, residential moves and job changes are par for the course. Naturally, this leads to new worlds full of new possibilities. It’s exciting!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week will suit you perfectly because this is one of the best times all year to think about future goals. More than most, you take a long range of view of things because you are practical, and also perhaps unconsciously, because you know you are a long-lived sign. Ideas about finances, making money and matters about your financial security are things you might think about this week. You might also see ways to help a charitable organization or those who are less fortunate. Meanwhile, with Venus in your sign, you are unusually charming and diplomatic with everyone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a fortunate time for you because lucky Jupiter is in your sign, which is something that can happen only once every 12 years. Meanwhile, this is a stage in your life when you are setting off on a new path of re-inventing yourself. What could be more timely than this particular week that encourages daydreams, visualizing goals and then suddenly, seeing that these goals are actually doable! Your ambition is aroused now because Mars is at the top of your chart. Meanwhile, you are interacting with friends and groups more than usual. Why not bounce your ideas off someone to get their feedback? (A secret affair is likely for some of you.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will continue to make a fabulous impression on everyone because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you (symbolically speaking) in a flattering spotlight. This is why bosses, parents and VIPs are so impressed with you. This is the perfect week to visualize what you want for your future. You are an imaginative sign, and you have great visionary powers. Presently, you’re letting go of many things – people, places and possessions because you’re in a state of transition. But you are obviously heading for a whole new beginning in about a year. When you open those future doors – where do you want them to lead?

Which are the best spells to cast on a Sunday?

On a Sunday, you can cast the spells related to money, desires, favored friendships, obtaining the support of other people, stopping the hostility of enemies, and overcoming obstacles.

How to use Sunday’s energy?

Take a walk outside and soak up the sunlight (even if it’s a cloudy day, go for it! The Sun is still there!)
Cast a success spell
Create a success sigil
Focus on positivity to cleanse the negativity from your life

A High Cliff on Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Image Credit & Licence: ESA, Rosetta spacecraft, NAVCAM; Additional Processing: Stuart Atkinson

Explanation: This high cliff occurs not on a planet, not on a moon, but on a comet. It was discovered to be part of the dark nucleus of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (CG) by Rosetta, a robotic spacecraft launched by ESA that rendezvoused with the Sun-orbiting comet in 2014. The ragged cliff, as featured here, was imaged by Rosetta in 2014. Although towering about one kilometer high, the low surface gravity of Comet CG would likely make it an accessible climb — and even a jump from the cliff survivable. At the foot of the cliff is relatively smooth terrain dotted with boulders as large as 20 meters across. Data from Rosetta indicates that the ice in Comet CG has a significantly different deuterium fraction — and hence likely a different origin — than the water in Earth’s oceans. Rosetta ended its mission with a controlled impact onto Comet CG in 2016. Comet CG has just completed another close approach to Earth and remains visible through a small telescope.

Plant portraits

The illustrations in medieval herbals are beautiful and mysterious. But if you know how to read them, they also convey a wealth of knowledge about the plants they portray.

From WelcomeCollection.com

The illustrated herbal has an almost unbroken line of descent from the ancient Greeks to the Middle Ages. The tradition owes much to a work by the Greek physician Dioscorides called ‘De Materia Medica’ (50–70 CE), which describes around 1,000 medicines, largely derived from plants, along with some animals and mineral substances.

‘De Materia Medica’ was circulated throughout the European and Islamic worlds. During that time it was translated, embellished and added to in commentaries and copies for local use. In Europe, this tradition developed into the medieval herbal, created in monasteries, usually by …

Explanation: Big, beautiful spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier’s famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way. M101 was also one of the original spiral nebulae observed by Lord Rosse’s large 19th century telescope, the Leviathan of Parsontown. Assembled from 51 exposures recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope in the 20th and 21st centuries, with additional data from ground based telescopes, this mosaic spans about 40,000 light-years across the central region of M101 in one of the highest definition spiral galaxy portraits ever released from Hubble. The sharp image shows stunning features of the galaxy’s face-on disk of stars and dust along with background galaxies, some visible right through M101 itself. Also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy, M101 lies within the boundaries of the northern constellation Ursa Major, about 25 million light-years away.

**Great Refractor and Lunar Eclipse**
**Image Credit & Copyright:** Laurie Hatch

**Explanation:** Rain clouds passed and the dome of the Lick Observatory’s 36 inch Great Refractor opened on November 19. The historic telescope was pointed toward a partially eclipsed Moon. Illuminated by dim red lighting to preserve an astronomer’s night vision, telescope controls, coordinate dials, and the refractor’s 57 foot long barrel were captured in this high dynamic range image. Visible beyond the foreshortened barrel and dome slit, growing brighter after its almost total eclipse phase, the lunar disk created a colorful halo through lingering clouds. From the open dome, the view of the clearing sky above includes the Pleiades star cluster about 5 degrees from Moon and Earth’s shadow.

As the November 24 zodiac sign is Sagittarius, you have a charming personality. Your inner beauty shines right through you. You have strong ties to your spiritual beliefs and are a bright individual.

Your friends certainly think so, and you have a lot of friends. However, the November 24 horoscope suggests that you attract lovers who are not right for you or rather they are not like you. Sometimes, you have difficulty committing to someone who doesn’t share your views.

Your family, however, say you have remained close to them and find solace in traditional values. You may be too dependent on your loved ones especially if you have children.

This Sagittarius birthday as a parent tends to hang on to her/his “babies” for too long. There comes a time in every parent’s life that they must let go so their children can grow. It’s the only way to have experienced adults who can be productive and successful in life.

As far as the health of the November 24 birthday personality is concerned, you tend to take care of yourself, but you use limited resources. Although eating a balanced and wholesome meal constitutes some effort in the right direction, it is not enough.

Finding a workout plan just for you is not as hard as it used to be. You don’t even have to go to the gym anymore. Personal trainers are at your fingertips with today’s technology.

It might as well be you in the spotlight.

This November 24 Sagittarius is generally in control… it’s where you want to be at all times. Usually, if you have to give up your freedom for a lover or a job, then you are not a happy camper. They may have to find a replacement for you sooner than later if this happens.

If today is your birthday, you are people who live life a bit on the wild side. Vacations are usually exciting trips that include something risky or dangerous like mountain climbing or skydiving. You love this kind of stuff.

On the other hand, you can be impulsive and highly intolerant of others. As the November 24 horoscope rightly says, you are likely suited to have a seat on the city council. At your best, the media is calling your name. There are a variety of things that you could be as you are vocal and you can write. As we talked about your health, you could stand some improvements, but you are on the right track.

At the Shadow’s Edge

Image Credit & Copyright: Jean-Francois Gout

Explanation: Shaped like a cone tapering into space, the Earth’s dark central shadow or umbra has a circular cross-section. It’s wider than the Moon at the distance of the Moon’s orbit though. But during the lunar eclipse of November 18/19, part of the Moon remained just outside the umbral shadow. The successive pictures in this composite of 5 images from that almost total lunar eclipse were taken over a period of about 1.5 hours. The series is aligned to trace part of the cross-section’s circular arc, with the central image at maximum eclipse. It shows a bright, thin sliver of the lunar disk still beyond the shadow’s curved edge. Of course, even within the shadow the Moon’s surface is not completely dark, reflecting the reddish hues of filtered sunlight scattered into the shadow by Earth’s atmosphere.

When Isis Was Queen

Ancient Egyptian Goddess Isis and God Osiris

At the ancient Egyptian temples of Philae, Nubians gave new life to a vanishing religious tradition.

Hathor.When the Romans conquered Egypt in 30 B.C., the country’s system of temples, which had sustained religious traditions dating back more than 3,000 years, began to slowly wither away. Starved of the funds that pharaohs traditionally supplied to religious institutions, priests lost their vocation and temples fell into disuse throughout the country. The introduction of Christianity in the first century a.d. only hastened this process. But there was one exception to this trend: In the temples on the island of Philae in the Nile River, rites dedicated to the goddess Isis and the god Osiris continued to be celebrated in high style for some 500 years after the Roman conquest. This final flowering of ancient Egyptian religion was only possible because of the piety and support of Egypt’s neighbors to the south, the Nubians.

Philae lies just south of the Nile’s first cataract—one of six rapids along the river—which marked the historical border between ancient Egypt and Nubia, also known as Kush. In this region of Kush, called Lower Nubia, the temple complex at Philae was just one of many that were built on islands in the Nile and along its banks. Throughout the long history of Egypt and Nubia, Lower Nubia was a kind of buffer zone between these two lands and a place…
