Bird Produces A Giant With Three Suns!


I don't even know why ... but this image is one of the most compelling and beautiful that I've seen in a long time.

Planet with three suns challenges theoriesReutersJuly 17, 2005ASTRONOMERS have detected a planet outside our solar system with not one, but three suns, a finding that challenges astronomers' theories of planetary formation.

The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of a triple-star system known as HD 188753 in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan).

The stellar trio and its planet are about 149 light-years from Earth and about as close to each other as our sun is to Saturn, US scientists reported Thursday in the current edition of the journal Nature.

If you stood on the planet's surface, you would see three suns in sky, although its orbit centres around the main yellow star among the trio. The larger of the other two suns would be orange and the smaller would be red, astronomers at California Institute of Technology said in a statement.

Caltech astronomer Maciej Konacki, who wrote the research article, refers to the new type of planets as "Tatooine planets," because of the similarity to Luke Skywalker's view of his home planet by the same name, with its multiple suns, in the original "Star Wars" film.

There is rich mythology associated with the constellation known as "Cygnus."

Cygnus may have originated on the Euphrates, for the tablets show a stellar bird of some kind, perhaps Urakhga, the original of the Arabs' Rukh, the Roc, that Sinbad the Sailor knew. Cygnus was known to the ancient Babylonians as the 'bird of the forest'.

Despite the myths, this constellation was known simply as "Ornis" (Bird) to the Greeks. It was the Romans who named it Cygnus and who adopted the Greek myths to explain its name.

Autism, myth, symbols, egoic consciousness, evolution of humanity, legend, lords & gods, the relationship of father/son, the Earth, the mother, sages, volcanic symbolism, trinities, love, and probable eschatologic features are referenced in QIM Tunes. The word and associates of "ruch/roq/roc/rock" are mentioned as well. The discovery of this planet, its constellation, and the three suns did not escape my notice as seemingly "coincidental" with other very significant events on our Planet this past weekend. Again, because of life experiences "coincidental" as "accidental" no longer have a place in my personal lexicon. I do not have time to properly delve into this right now. But, I believe this is very significant to a timeline and events directed through the QIM Tunes.

It may be well worth the time to explore this document and its interpretive companion, KIN Notes:
