Starburst Galaxy M94 from Hubble

Explanation: Why does this galaxy have a ring of bright blue stars? Beautiful island universe Messier 94 lies a mere 15 million light-years distant in the northern constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici). A popular target for Earth-based astronomers, the face-on spiral galaxy is about 30,000 light-years across, with spiral arms sweeping through the outskirts of its broad disk. But this Hubble Space Telescope field of view spans about 7,000 light-years across M94‘s central region. The featured close-up highlights the galaxy’s compact, bright nucleus, prominent inner dust lanes, and the remarkable bluish ring of young massive stars. The ring stars are all likely less than 10 million years old, indicating that M94 is a starburst galaxy that is experiencing an epoch of rapid star formation from inspiraling gas. The circular ripple of blue stars is likely a wave propagating outward, having been triggered by the gravity and rotation of a oval matter distributions. Because M94 is relatively nearby, astronomers can better explore details of its starburst ring.

1.2 billion-year-old groundwater is some of the oldest on Earth
Groundwater that was recently discovered deep underground in a mine in South Africa is estimated to be 1.2 billion years old. Researchers suspect that the groundwater is some of the oldest on the planet, and its chemical interactions with the surrounding rock could offer new insights about energy production and storage in Earth’s crust.
In fact, Oliver Warr, a research associate in the department of Earth sciences at the University of Toronto in Canada and lead author of a new study about the groundwater discovery, described the location in a statement as a “Pandora’s box of helium-and-hydrogen-producing power.”
The South African groundwater was also enriched in the highest concentration of radiogenic products — elements produced by radioactivity — yet discovered in fluids, according to the study, demonstrating that ancient groundwater sites may one day potentially serve as energy sources.
The gold and uranium mine, known as Moab Khotsong, sits about 100 miles (161 kilometers) southwest of Johannesburg and is home to one of the world’s deepest mine shafts, plunging to depths of 1.86 miles (3 km) below the surface at its deepest, according to the mine (opens in new tab).
The new find follows the prior discovery of approximately 1.8 billion-year-old groundwater made during a 2013 research expedition (also led by Warr). That finding occurred at Kidd Creek Mine in Ontario, which lies beneath the Canadian Shield, a geologic structure comprised of igneous

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
July 30, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions until 2:30 PM EDT today (11:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Discussions with romantic partners are challenging today because one of you might be critical of the other. Perhaps you have to say goodbye to someone? Parents should be considerate about the feelings of their kids. Goethe said, “Correction does much but encouragement does more.”
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Family discussions might be discouraging today. A parent might be critical. Meanwhile, very likely, home repairs and practical tasks need to be done where you live. Go ahead with your plans for these tasks and don’t let someone rain on your parade. Decide what to do, then do it. You’ve got this.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
It’s easy to slip into negative thinking today. We all do this. Everyone sometimes feels lonely, cut off or like they’re navel lint. But these negative feelings will pass! Everything is temporary – good times as well as bad times. (Hang in there.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Financial matters might look discouraging today. It’s the end of the month, and you’re broke. (Join the club – we number millions.) Some of you might feel criticized about your purchases or the way you handle your money. You feel pragmatic and thrifty today.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you might fall into worry mode. Too often, worry is a habit. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Instead, you can channel this same astrological energy into working hard, especially doing detailed, mental work.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Although you might feel vaguely uneasy about something, especially if someone behind the scenes is critical of you (the worst!); nevertheless, today the Moon is in your sign (after 2:30 PM EDT; 5:30 PM PDT), and this gives you an advantage! Ask the universe for a favour!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Discussions with a friend or a member of a group might be disappointing or discouraging today. Someone more experienced might make you feel diminished in some way. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” True!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Discussions with parents, bosses, authority figures and the police might be challenging today. Quite possibly, someone will try to pull rank on you or act like they hold all the cards and you are nothing. Don’t let this get to you. (Insecure people act like that.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have a choice today. You can either worry about something in the news or the media, or political or racial issues; or instead, you can use this same serious astrological influence and study or learn something new because your mind is very focused. What will you choose? What makes sense?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is not an ideal day for discussions about shared property, insurance disputes and inheritances because people will be petty, picky and negative. They certainly won’t be generous. However, your mind is focused and detail oriented so you won’t miss a thing.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Take a lighthearted approach when talking to partners and close friends today because people are inclined to think negatively, and drape everything in black crepe paper. Yes, it’s that kinda day. But it doesn’t have to be. Focus on something that you want to do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a good day to do heavy mental work that requires a lot of self-discipline because you have this in spades! Seek out someone you respect for their advice. Take frequent breaks from your work to relax in between so that you can continue and persevere at whatever you’re doing. Pace yourself.
If Your Birthday Is Today

The Eagle Rises

Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this stereo view from lunar orbit. The 3D anaglyph was created from two photographs (AS11-44-6633, AS11-44-6634) taken by astronaut Michael Collins during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. It features the lunar module ascent stage, dubbed The Eagle, rising to meet the command module in lunar orbit on July 21. Aboard the ascent stage are Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the first to walk on the Moon. The smooth, dark area on the lunar surface is Mare Smythii located just below the equator on the extreme eastern edge of the Moon’s near side. Poised beyond the lunar horizon is our fair planet Earth.

The Earth is Rotating Faster
On June 29, 2022, something extraordinary happened to the rate of spin of planet Earth. However, it probably had such a minuscule impact on your life that you can be forgiven for not even noticing.
Believe it or not, but you actually gained an extra 1.59 milliseconds to your day. We hope you spent it wisely!
According to TimeAndDate.com, on that day, our planet, as far as scientists can tell, set a new record for the quickest time to complete one rotation.
But what? Isn’t the Earth’s day exactly 24 hours? Actually, no, well, not quite.
The first thing to note is that there are actually “kinds” of days, depending on your definition.
The first, a solar day, is a period of 24 hours during which the Earth rotates so that the Sun appears at the same location in the sky. However, a sidereal day, which is defined as 23 hours, 56 minutes, and …
Earth is suddenly rotating faster and the shortest day just recorded

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 – Collect My Debt Spell
Saturday is the sixth day of the workweek. It’s officially the weekend. Some see it as one of the luckiest days for gambling. It’s one of those days where you can do what you need around your home and relax, as well. You can take care of a little business, then, reap the rewards. It’s a really good day to do collect, courage, reap, gamble, and exercise spells.
Collect My Debt Spell
Items needed:
1 sheet of paper
1 pen or pencil
1 gray ribbon
1 white candle
1 penny
1 bottle of glue
1 lighter or match
Light a white candle and close your eyes. Think about the money that is owed to you and how you feel about that situation. If you are angry at the person who owes you money, get rid of that anger now. Get the sheet of paper, bottle of glue, and a penny, and place them in front of you. Now, write down how much is owed to you on the sheet of paper. After that, below where you wrote the figure, glue the penny to the paper. Allow the glue to dry. Without breaking the penny from the paper, roll the paper up and tie the gray ribbon around it. Place the scroll you just made under your bed. Soon, you should be able to collect the debt. Once you collect the debt, remove the penny, give it away, and discard the scroll.
