Dorado – the Golden Pompano Fish
July 17: The beauty of gold shrouds
its violent origins.
Astronomers have for the first time
observed a distinct glow in the aftermath of a violent collision of the cores
of two dead stars that they say could explain the origin of all the gold in the
universe. Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the
US today said the glow from an event called a short gamma ray burst (GRB) they
observed last month has signatures of heavy elements, including possibly gold.
The chart
for the lunar eclipse of 25 May, 2013 at Cambridge ,MA Neptune [5pi20]. Diana
Rosenberg associates this area with “major scientific and technological
discoveries” [1]. On the Ascendant [8aq]
is the star 30 Doradus [6aq] in the constellation Dorado – the Gold Fish [2]. The
word dorado is past participle of dorar,
from Latin deaurare, 'to gild', from
de- + aurare, 'to gild', from aurum, 'gold'. Latin aurare comes from the
Indo-European root *aus-2. 'Gold'. Derivative: aureate (golden color). From this was also derived El Dorado - a legend that began with the story of a South
American tribal chief who covered himself with gold dust and would dive into a
lake of pure mountain water. [3]
Finally, if
we progress the eclipse chart to 17 July, the date of the news, the Ascendant
[6ta] is conjunct the stars of the constellation Fornax (the Furnace) and gamma Doradus [6ta]! [4]
