• The Vega star system is one of the most studied in astronomy due to its proximity, brightness, and unique characteristics that challenge our understanding of planet formation and stellar evolution. Located just 25 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Lyra, Vega is a blue-white star and the fifth-brightest star visible in our night sky. Here's a breakdown of the most intriguing features of the Vega system:

    1. Dust Disk Discovery
    Infrared Excess: In the 1980s, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) discovered an excess of infrared radiation from Vega, indicating a dust disk around the star. This disk emits infrared radiation as dust particles are heated by Vega's light, suggesting an early model of a protoplanetary or debris disk.
    Smooth Disk: Unlike other systems like Fomalhaut, Vega’s disk is remarkably smooth, lacking the gaps and rings typically associated with planets disturbing the dust. This smoothness implies that Vega may lack substantial planetary influences or that planets there may be few and more challenging to detect.
    2. Potential "Hot Neptune"
    Astronomers have hypothesized that Vega might host a hot Neptune—a large planet orbiting close to the star, with a mass similar to that of Uranus or Neptune. If present, this planet could slightly perturb the disk, though not enough to create the pronounced structures seen in other systems.
    3. Asteroid Belt Analogy
    Collapse
    Observations suggest that Vega may contain a large asteroid belt similar to our Solar System's, with a spread-out disk of rocky material. This possible asteroid belt might add to the dust observed around Vega and could provide insights into the early formation phases of planetary systems.
    4. Historical and Cultural Significance
    Former Pole Star: Around 14,000 years ago, Earth's axis pointed toward Vega, making it the northern pole star until approximately 12,000 BC. The star held great significance for ancient civilizations due to its prominence.
    Name and Mythology: The name "Vega," originally spelled "Wega," comes from the Arabic "Al Nasr al Waki," meaning "Swooping Eagle." Vega is a cornerstone of the Summer Triangle, a prominent asterism for northern hemisphere skywatchers, along with Altair and Deneb.
    5. Milestones in Astronomy
    First Stellar Spectrum: Vega was the first star to have its spectrum recorded in 1850, helping astronomers study stellar composition and temperature.
    Early Photographic Milestone: It was also the second star, after the Sun, to be photographed, marking a major step in astronomical imaging.
    6. Variable Star Characteristics
    Vega is classified as a Delta Scuti variable, with slight pulsations that cause small changes in its brightness over time. Although minimal, these fluctuations provide valuable data for stellar research and challenge Vega's historic role as a "constant" in brightness.
    7. Future Research and Exploration
    With its dust disk and potential hot Neptune, Vega remains a prime target for studying alternative pathways in planetary system evolution. Optical spectroscopy allows astronomers to analyze parameters such as star formation rates and chemical composition, shedding light on the processes within Vega's disk and its potential for planet formation.
    8. Vega's characteristics—its smooth disk, possible planetary companions, and cultural prominence—continue to intrigue astronomers. Future missions and telescopes may reveal more about this iconic star system, potentially uncovering planets or additional features that reshape our understanding of how stars and planetary systems evolve.

  • Photo of two engineers stuck on top of a wind turbine after a fire broke out. Unfortunately, none of them survived. IIRC, one of them tried to go back into the turbine and down the ladder inside it, and the other jumped from the top of the turbine. This is just before they went their separate ways.

  • You can lead people to the #Truth....
    But you cannot make them THINK!

    Most people will get angry with you
    when you break the delusion they reside in

    At one time #Halloween was my favorite holiday (Holy Day)
    THEN I FOUND OUT THE TRUE NATURE OF THE CELEBRATION!

    And how what MODERN SOCIETY DOES TODAY exactly mimics ancient, #Pagan (#Satanic) Rituals! And I'm sorry... But I DO NOT CHOOSE to pay homage to the devil or any of his traditions!

    It's plain scary how EVERYTHING we now do for "Halloween" from the PUMPKIN to the "wearing costumes" and everything in between is literally AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE SATANIC RITUALS IT IMITATES!

    It REALLY freaked me out when I learned the truth about it!
    So much so that I felt the need to beg forgiveness for ever taking part!

    People ALWAYS SAY "Yeah, but the Father knows my heart, and I don't mean it in that way." HOW DID THAT WORK OUT FOR THE ISRAELITES WHO FASHIONED THE GOLDEN CALF IN YAHUWAH'S HONOR???

    Do you remember?
    EVERYTHING that I do, I do to honor the Father!

    I have enough sins under my belt, I shall NOT tempt the Father with more!

    Exodus Chapter 32

    1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

    2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

    3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

    4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

    5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

    6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

    7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

    8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

    9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

    10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

    11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

    12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

    13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

    14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

    15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

    16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

    17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

    18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

    19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

    20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

    21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

    22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

    23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

    24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

    25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

    26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

    27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

    28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

    29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

    30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

    31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

    32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

    33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

    34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

    35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
