NGC 3521: Galaxy in a Bubble

Image Credit & Copyright: Mark Hanson and Mike Selby

Explanation: Gorgeous spiral galaxy NGC 3521 is a mere 35 million light-years away, toward the northern springtime constellation Leo. Relatively bright in planet Earth’s sky, NGC 3521 is easily visible in small telescopes but often overlooked by amateur imagers in favor of other Leo spiral galaxies, like M66 and M65. It’s hard to overlook in this colorful cosmic portrait though. Spanning some 50,000 light-years the galaxy sports characteristic patchy, irregular spiral arms laced with dust, pink star forming regions, and clusters of young, blue stars. This deep image also finds NGC 3521 embedded in fainter, gigantic, bubble-like shells. The shells are likely tidal debris, streams of stars torn from satellite galaxies that have undergone mergers with NGC 3521 in the distant past.

May 4, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4:15 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (1:15 PM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Something going on behind the scenes might somehow impact your earnings or your wealth or even something that you own. Be aware of this. In particular, be aware that someone, who might be working against your best interests, might try to take something from you. Not good!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A competition with a friend or a member of a group might have an unexpected consequence today. Or perhaps, you will encounter someone who is unusual or different in some way? Take note that whatever happens might make you suddenly change your goals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Something unexpected might spur you in a new direction today. This is why you might feel a sudden burst of confidence or ambition to get something down or achieve a particular goal. “I’m on it!” On the other hand, plans might suddenly change.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a tricky day because in one way, you are keen to travel or do something to expand your world and experience new ideas, learn new things, and meet new people. Yes! Nevertheless, these plans might suddenly change. Travel could be cancelled or delayed. (Whaaat?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Stay up-to-date with information related to taxes, debt, insurance matters and anything to do with the resources or wealth of your partner because something unexpected will impact these areas today. You might be caught off guard. Not good when it comes to your wealth! (You snooze, you lose.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully today because a friend or someone close to you might suddenly do something you least expect. They might make a surprising demand? Or they might have an exciting suggestion? Alternatively, you might meet someone today who is “different.” (It’s not a boring day.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Strong feelings of independence will affect your work today. However, you might also encounter interruptions and sudden changes that affect your job today, especially related to technology and computers. Meanwhile, pet owners should be vigilant today. Check your pet.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents take note because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Know where they are and what they’re doing. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change today. You might receive a surprise invitation; or fun plans might be cancelled. (Groan.) Guard against sports accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have a lot of energy to make some changes at home now, probably big improvements. Nevertheless, today is an accident-prone day for you at home (or with your family). Please be aware of this. On the upside, you might suddenly decide to do something unusual to make improvements.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are a tad aggressive in your communications with others right now because you’re excited about something and you want to share your ideas. However, today is full of unpredictable influences. Pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid accidents.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep an eye on your money scene today because things are unpredictable. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Keep your eyes open! On the upside, moneymaking ideas might be bold and unusual!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you are full of electric energy! This is why you feel impulsive and restless. Nevertheless, do not go off halfcocked, which is possible. Think before you act or say something so that you won’t have regrets later. Use this wild energy in a positive way.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) shares your birthday today. You like routine and security. You think things through carefully then you stick with your decision. You are caring and kind to others. You particular love beautiful things. This year will be lighthearted and more social and fun-loving! Take care of your health and focus on service to others, especially family members. Rejuvenate yourself and consider a makeover.

During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Planets Over Egyptian Pyramid

Image Credit & Copyright: Osama Fatehi

Explanation: The early morning planet parade continues. Visible the world over, the planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn have been lining up in the pre-dawn sky since mid-April. In the featured image taken last month, these planets were captured over the Step Pyramid of Djoser, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Saqqara necropolis of Egypt, the pyramid was constructed in the 27th century BC and is one of the oldest pyramids known. The two-image composite includes a foreground image taken during evening blue hour, and a background image captured from the same location the following morning. The morning planet line-up is slowly changing. At the end of last month, planets Jupiter and Venus switched places, while at the end of this month, Jupiter and Mars will switch after passing within one-degree of each other. Of course, this picturesque planetary angular alignment is a coincidence, as all of these worlds continue to orbit the Sun as they have for billions of years, well before even the ancient Pyramid of Djoser was built.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 3, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Something might be happening in your life that strengthens your spiritual beliefs or give you a stronger interest in spirituality. An offshoot of this is that it could increase your confidence in yourself. This is a good thing. Secrets and hidden information might be revealed now.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will benefit strongly from your interactions with a group at this time. They might promote your best interests. Or perhaps, your involvement with a group will be meaningful to you, especially if you are able to effect change that benefits others.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Something is occurring that will boost your reputation in the eyes of your peers at this time. You are admired – no question. For some, this could mean a promotion, an award or some kind of accolades from others. Whatever the case, it’s time for you to take a bow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Travel opportunities might present themselves to you now. Others will have opportunities to explore further education or avenues in publishing, medicine and the law. You might also be attracted to a particular philosophy or a belief system or something to do with politics. (This is not a casual interest.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are in a wonderful position to benefit from the wealth and resources of others. For example, you might learn more information about what is possible or available to you. You might get money back from the government, or you might inherit. You might also be able to enjoy the opportunity to use something that someone else owns. It’s all good.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your closest relationships are blooming now, and it’s a wonderful thing. This is a lovely influence that will promote your interactions with close friends, partners and spouses. Enjoy this blessing while it lasts. (Everything’s impermanent – even good stuff.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a good time to improve your health or introduce reforms where you work. Wonderful job opportunities might come your way to do this, or you might get a better job or improve the conditions or parameters of your existing job. (Seneca, said, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with your kids are much improved! Likewise, opportunities in sports, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry are abundant. Meanwhile, you can enjoy social outings and fun times with others, as well as explore the arts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a wonderful time for you to make home improvements or to entertain at home. Similarly, this same influence will also promote real-estate opportunities for you or chances to improve your home or your real-estate assets. Ka-ching! Family gatherings will be upbeat and full of fun!

Spell for Today – For A Good Night’s Sleep

 

For a Good Night’s Sleep

Wynken, Blynken and Nod sail away,
Bringing me rest at the end of the day.
I close my eyes, then sweet dreams will come.
Sleep through the night, to slumber I succumb.

Mercury’s Sodium Tail

Image Credit & Copyright: Sebastian Voltmer

Explanation: That’s no comet. Below the Pleiades star cluster is actually a planet: Mercury. Long exposures of our Solar System’s innermost planet may reveal something unexpected: a tail. Mercury‘s thin atmosphere contains small amounts of sodium that glow when excited by light from the Sun. Sunlight also liberates these molecules from Mercury’s surface and pushes them away. The yellow glow from sodium, in particular, is relatively bright. Pictured, Mercury and its sodium tail are visible in a deep image taken last week from La PalmaSpain through a filter that primarily transmits yellow light emitted by sodium. First predicted in the 1980s, Mercury’s tail was first discovered in 2001. Many tail details were revealed in multiple observations by NASA‘s robotic MESSENGER spacecraft that orbited Mercury between 2011 and 2015. Tails, of course, are usually associated with comets.

Pluto and Mercury will be the only retrograde planets in May 2022

The end of a month doesn’t necessarily mean the end of a retrograde cycle. The planetary retrogrades that began in April 2022 prove it, considering there was only one and it began at practically the tail end of the month, and will continue through the summer and even part of the fall months. That means you’re guaranteed to find at least one retrograde planet in the month of May 2022, and I’m telling you right now, there’s more where that came from.

How Many Planets Will Be Retrograde During May 2022?

There will actually be two planetary retrogrades in May: Pluto retrograde, which began on April 29, and the infamous Mercury retrograde, which isn’t too far behind. But, while the term “retrograde” can cause plenty of distress — i.e. flashbacks to disagreements or falling-outs among loved ones — the reality is that retrogrades are far more common than you may realize. Take Mercury retrograde, for example — this event typically happens about three times every year (though, in 2022, there will be four Mercury retrograde cycles), and you’ve survived them each and every time, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Think of all the mishaps you experience during those seasons as minor inconveniences.

Pluto Retrograde (April 29 to Oct. 8)

Pluto retrogrades — like the one you’re experiencing right now — are less noticeable than Mercury retrogrades, but they do signify a period of review, so you should still pay attention. My advice: Take a look at the house in your birth chart Pluto’s currently transiting in, which is currently the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, and revise. Pluto stations retrograde annually for about six months, so it typically takes a bit longer to know how the retrograde will affect you.

Mercury retrograde, on the other hand, lasts about three weeks, making the effects much more acute during that period — and sometimes even before and/or after the planet actually stations, known as the shadow phase.

Mercury Retrograde (May 10 to June 3)

Starting off in the mutable air sign of Gemini and ending in the fixed earth sign of Taurus, Mercury will be inclined to bring active thoughts and ideas down to Earth during this period. During the first half of the retrograde, Mercury will be incredibly supported in Gemini, since this is a sign all about mental stimulation and communication. But retrograde, you will likely notice a difficulty effectively sharing and implementing these ideas until Mercury steps back into the stable sign of Taurus on May 22. By this time, the ideas that you’ve come up with during the retrograde will be solidified and secured, so it’ll be important to make as many necessary changes and adjustments to your endeavors before Mercury’s less willing to budge in Taurus. Taurus is definitely a sign that likes to maintain things, so you’ll likely notice things really start to slow down once Mercury makes its way back into this sign.

During this retrograde, it’ll be important to consider where Taurus and Gemini fall in your birth chart, since these are the two astrological houses that will be experiencing the action as Mercury moves back and forth between these signs. These houses will be prone to revisions and reorganizations from May 10 until June 3, so if things feel a bit scattered here during this time, you can be sure to blame it on the stars — especially if you have planets in these two signs.
