Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have
found a tiny, dark moon circling the dwarf planet Makemake, a Pluto sibling in
the solar system’s distant Kuiper Belt.It is the first satellite to be
discovered circling Makemake, an 870-mile wide dwarf planet discovered in 2005.Makemake,
which is named for a creation deity of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island, is
the second brightest object in the Kuiper Belt after Pluto. The dwarf planet’s
newly found moon, spotted in an April Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 image, is more
than 1,300 fainter than Makemake, NASA said in a press release issued Tuesday,(April
26) the same day the discovery was announced in a Minor Planet Electronic
Circular. http://news.discovery.com/space/plutos-little-sister-makemake-has-a-moon-160426.htm
Very little
is known about Makemake. Nick Fiorenza gives the following delineation of the
dwarf planet:
Makemake (pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh -
“e” is pronounced “ay” in Polynesian) is the Polynesian name for the creator
god of humanity in the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui
(Easter Island). Makemake was discovered on March 31, 2005. Based upon an
exploration of Makemake’s orbital parameters and its recent role during the
2008-2011 economic turn, Makemake appears to bring attention to leadership
issues regarding the administration of resources; and in areas involving
economics, ecology and human survival. Makemake may also impel strategic
planning and enterprising action to create environmental conditions that ensure
a healthy, prosperous and abundant life for groups or for the people in
general. Makemake may also act to sort out those who are truly worthy of being
in a leadership role from those who are not.[1]
So what
happened astrologically for Makemake to be mentioned in the Minor Planet
Electronic Circular on April 26. As we have seen in the eclipses tend to become
activated when progressed angles pass over them. Shown here is the chart for
the Lunar Eclipse of September 28, 2015 drawn for Cambridge, Ma, where the
Minor Planet Center is located. Notice that the eclipse is significantly placed
forming a Grand Cross with the horizon axis. Here Makemake[1li26] is
conjunct the North Node [1li] and the
Sun [4li40] so that the eclipse is in a sense pushing Makemake into prominence.
Now if we
progress the eclipse chart to April 26, we notice that the Sun-Makemake
conjunction aligns with the meridian so that it is no surprise that the dwarf
planet and its Moon are in the news. Of
course the deeper message is still connected to Makemake’s role of impelling
leaders to create environmental conditions that ensure a healthy, prosperous
and abundant life for groups or for the people in general.
