“A Distant Star Explodes While Swallowing Its Black Hole Companion”

 

 

Interactions between supernovae and black holes must be exceedingly rare. But that’s the only explanation for a very strange explosion found with the Zwicky Transient Facility. In July 2023, the ZTF spotted strange light signals about 730 million light-years from Earth, and AI helped astronomers unravel what they were seeing.

The ZTF scans the skies for transient objects that change in brightness. It’s an automated survey that sends out alerts when it detects something significant. The 2023 detection was made with a new artificial intelligence algorithm, and when it was detected, the ZTF alerted astronomers.

“Supernova Reveals What The Inside of a Star Really Looks Like”

 

 

A star exploding at the end of its life has rocked the cosmos like no other that humanity has ever seen.

In 2021, astronomers watched in astonishment as a supernova 2.2 billion light-years away named SN2021yfj bloomed, rich with silicon, sulfur, and argon – something never before seen in an exploding star.

“Star Trying to Swallow a Black Hole May Have Triggered a New Type of Supernova”

 

 

In 2023, astronomers recorded one of the most extraordinary space explosions they had ever seen.

It took place some 750 million light-years away, flaring into the detectors of the Zwicky Transient Facility on 7 July. At first, it looked just like a normal supernova – the explosive death of a star – and astronomers named it SN 2023zkd.

“Supermassive Black Hole Caught in The Act of Switching on”

 

 

A recent discovery by a team of astronomers centres on a galaxy cluster called CHIPS 1911+4455, located an incredible 6 billion light-years from Earth.

At its heart lies a supermassive black hole that has only recently ‘turned on’, just a thousand years ago. While that might sound like a long time, it’s merely a blink of an eye in astronomical terms.

Lead researcher Francesco Ubertosi from the University of Bologna describes the phenomenon as watching a sleeping giant wake up.

“Surprisingly chaotic early universe had supersonic turbulence”

 

 

  • What was the early universe like? Astronomers thought the first stars were gigantic and drifted in isolation in relatively calm clouds of gas.
  • But the first star-forming clouds were turbulent and clumpy, a new study from researchers in Taiwan suggests. The turbulence reached supersonic speeds. This was only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
  • The first stars in the universe were less massive but more numerous than previously thought, the study says.

“Rogue Planets Can Spawn Their Own Planetary Systems”

 

 

We live in an age of exoplanet discovery, and have discovered several thousand planets orbiting distant stars. These discoveries hold important lessons about planetary formation and solar system architecture. But we’re also discovering a growing number of rogue planets, also called free-floating planets. These planets aren’t gravitationally bound to any star. What can they teach us?

Which Will We bring Forth? Monsters or Gods?

“Naked does man come from his mother’s womb, and naked does he return to the womb of the Earth. He brings no possessions with him to Earth, and no more can be taken out. Yet, he leaves not altogether as he entered, for though his riches and estate, his titles, even his clothes are left behind, if he has lived wisely, he goes out richer in soul wisdom and arrayed in soul beauty. Man arrives at the Great Portal arrayed in glory or clothed in horror.

“In the newborn childling is the soft seed of the slumbering soul; this will be developed, moulded and fashioned throughout the period of its earthly existence. It will be shaped by man himself to his own inner likeness; then, when stripped of its outward bodily covering, man will stand revealed to himself and be faced with splendour or horror.

“In the likeness, to which the soul is fashioned in the body, so shall it come forth in the spirit on its appointed day.

“Thus it is written in the Secret Books of Wisdom, which are revealed to the few. The body is a womb, life the days of conception, and death the birth of the soul. Is it not written that some shall bring forth

monsters and fearful things, and some shall bear gods? These things are not beyond understanding.

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:33-36)

Naked Does Man Come

We arrive on Earth naked, and we bring no possessions with us. We may have possessions that our parents, or other relatives, bought for us, but we nonetheless arrive naked. Likewise, when we leave, we can take no material possessions with us. Yet there are people who spend their lives accumulating as many things as they can, as if somehow, they will be able to take it with them.

We can Go Out Richer

Even though we can’t take money or material goods with us when we die, we can die with real wealth that we can take with us. That real wealth is an awakened and developed soul. It would be best if we developed our souls to the point where they reach the highest level of consciousness and become one with God, but few manage to do that. Fortunately, as long as we have started the process of spiritual development, we will be able to continue with it after we pass into the afterlife. The quote says that we arrive at Heaven’s Gate “ arrayed in glory or clothed in horror.” That is not accurate. If we are dark beings, we will never go to Heaven’s Gate at all.

Slumbering Soul

The next part of the quotes says the newborn child arrives in this world with a “Slumbering Soul”. It is more accurate to say the soul is in a dormant state, somewhat like being in a coma. The quote than says this soul must be awakened and developed while we are on Earth. That is true, but unfortunately, only a very small number of people ever bother to do so. Now that we are at the beginning of the final age of Man and have the Sun of Righteousness shining down on us, it is getting easier for people to wake up. The bad news is that energy can also be used by dark people to become even more evil. That problem will eventually be overcome, but we are probably in for some rough years ahead.

Secret Book

This Secret Book of Wisdom is unknown to us today, yet what it says is basically true. Some of us will bring forth monsters within us by embracing the negative and evil of the world. Others will bring forth gods by awakening the little piece of God that is our Divine Soul. If you want to become immortal, awaken your Soul.
