Nobel prize awarded for imaging molecules

The 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for improving images made of biological molecules. Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson will share the nine million kronor (£831,000) prize. They were named at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden. They developed a technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), which simplifies the process for looking at the machinery of life. The process makes it possible for life's molecular building blocks to be captured mid-movement and allowed scientists to visualise processes that had never before been seen.

Eclipses provide new beginnings. The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017  was trine Uranus.  The planet Uranus, is best understood archetypally in terms of the Greek mythic figure of Prometheus [2], who stole fire from the heavens in rebellion against the gods to give humankind greater freedom. This act helped humanity to find solutions to a host of problems that afflicted mankind. A chart for the eclipse at Stockholm, Sweden can help explain the news in greater detail.  Notice that the eclipse places a Mercury-Neptune (Virgo-Pisces) opposition on the horizon axis implying that this aspect would be significant in events at the place.

Virgo and Pisces represent complementary energies that, through their contrast, challenge us to develop our potential.  Developing both Virgo & Pisces modes of perception can  make us more creative and discerning. Scientific geniuses (Uranus) that advance their field to a whole new level usually express both of these traits. Here the Nobel winners have been able to develop technical expertise (Virgo-Mercury) to photograph (Pisces-Neptune) [1] molecules.

[1] The years 1847 through 1862, when Neptune was last in Pisces, correlated with photography becoming an everyday element of the then modern world. http://empoweringastrology.com/neptune-in-pisces
