Astronomers have spotted two huge waves of gas
being "burped" by the black hole at the heart of a nearby galaxy. The
swathes of hot gas, detected in X-ray images from Nasa's Chandra space
telescope, appear to be sweeping cooler hydrogen gas ahead of them. This vast,
rippling belch is taking place in NGC 5194 - a small, neglected sibling of the
"Whirlpool Galaxy", 26 million light years away. That makes it one of
the closest black holes blasting gas in this way. The findings, presented at
the 227th meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Florida, are a
dramatic example of "feedback" between a supermassive black hole and
its host galaxy. Jan.4 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35237863
In early
January we have the Sun transit triggering the Uranus-Pluto square and we have
listed out several of its manifestations in the last few posts. This too is one
of them. A chart for the last quarter Moon of Jan. 2 at Kissimmee, Florida,
where the AAS conference is being held
is shown here. Notice that the luminaries form a T-square with
Uranus-Pluto straddling the horizon axis
with the TNP Admetus making hard aspects to the configuration.
A keyword
for Admetus is ‘storage’ or ‘inventory’. It has been likened to a hollow in the
land into which water pours in but nothing appears to come out. Of course
something does come out eventually but after some time which is why it is
associated with ‘delays’ or ‘time lags’. In a previous post [1] we saw Admetus’
connection to ‘capacitors’ that allow the storage of electricity. In much the
same way, Admetus can be linked to black holes that gobble up matter till they
eventually burp out galactic gas.
In his
article, “The Uranus/Pluto Square:
Breakdown or Breakthrough,” Ray
Grasse [2] explains that this enormously
significant pattern, involving two powerhouse planets is characterized by a
sense of new beginnings and shattered boundaries, when new ideas and
discoveries are emerging on various fronts with important breakthroughs in the
arts, technology, religion and astronomy.
In some
ways, we could liken the effect of a planetary pattern like this to the
build-up of subterranean lava domes associated with volcanoes. It's already
starting to feel like that around the world, in terms of a growing sense that
impending eruptions might be about to transform the global landscape (perhaps
even literally, in the form of geological eruptions!). There are enormously
powerful energies released by such patterns, but they're volatile and
unpredictable.
Uranus-Pluto’s
association with the build-up of pressure in subterranean lava domes associated
with volcanic eruptions can be seen as a
parallel to the waves of gas being "burped" by the black hole that
was detected by the Nasa telescope.
