“Astronomers discover why solar winds gradually slow down on their way out of the solar system”

Far beyond Pluto, where sunlight is faint and the planets are long behind, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is moving through a region where the Sun’s outflow begins to lose its grip. There, a stream of charged particles called the solar wind is gradually slowing down. The new measurements help show why. The answer lies in a quiet, persistent encounter with material drifting in from interstellar space.




“Astronomers Catch the Glowing Shockwave of a Galaxy on the Move”

 

 

The vast space between galaxies is mostly empty, just a few atoms in every cubic meter, but it’s not totally empty. Now, astronomers have discovered a galaxy plowing through the intergalactic medium so quickly that it’s leaving a wake behind, stretching 1.8 million light-years long. Astronomers think the galaxy is falling into a huge cluster, traveling faster than sound can move through the hot gas, so it piles up in front like a bow wave.




“Magnetic Fields Help Binary Stars Form and Black Holes Merge”

 

 

Most large stars are found in binary and multiple star systems. Some of these stars are so close together; they’re orbiting one another in just a few hours. They couldn’t have formed this close together; instead, they must have formed farther apart and then migrated closer to one another. What mechanism caused this migration? A new study shows how magnetic fields can be the force that drives the inward migration in binary stars.

Meditate on the Reasons for Your Existence

 

“Consider yourselves, my children, and meditate on the reason for your existence and the purpose, for which you were brought into being. Contemplate your powers, ponder your circumstances, discover your inescapable duties and face your earthly obligations.

“Assume your burdens cheerfully, for they are not imposed capriciously. The One God has set a hard task, but it is not beyond your capabilities. Remember that every affliction, however grievous and

seemingly unnecessary, serves a purpose and end.

“O man, you are the delight and sorrow of your God; you have been set apart with peculiar favor and exalted above all other creatures. He has endowed you with reason, to maintain your dominion. He has bestowed upon you the faculty of speech, that wisdom may accumulate throughout your generations. He has exalted your mind, so that it may be perceptive of beauty and grandeur. He has ordained the Law, which circumscribes your life, and adjusted your nature to accord with your duties and destiny.”

-he Kolbrin Bible (MPR:5:1-3)

Reasons for Existence

There are actually at least two reasons for our existence. Our Spirit and Soul exist because God wishes it. Our physical body exists because of the Great Fall from Heaven symbolized in the story of Adam and Eve. That is the basic reasons, but there are deeper ones. Our Spirit exists so that we can awaken and develop it until we reach the highest level of consciousness possible. And while the physical body is not from God, we are still obligated to life a life of service to others, a life of love and truth. E are also obligated to help others do the same.

Contemplate your Powers

This is not referring to powers like those of politicians and despots. It is referring to the spiritual powers that God has given us. Remember that Jesus said that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed (a tiny seed), we could move mountains. That should not be taken literally. It means that if we have a little faith in our God-given abilities, we can do great things.

Assume Burdens Cheerfully

Here I must disagree with the quote. God does not put burdens on us. Burdens come from the devils and demons who wish to keep us trapped forever in the realm of matter, so when they find people trying to develop their Spiritual Self, they burden them with illness, financial problems, or other burdens to discourage such development.

Faculty of Speech

The faculty of speech is indeed a very helpful ability. In the ancient mystery schools, advanced spiritual knowledge was also shared verbally. It was never put in writing. Even Jesus taught his apostles and disciples verbally. The various writing that forms the New Testament of the Bible were written hundreds of years after the physical death of Jesus.

Perception of Beauty

God has given us the ability to appreciate beauty. Not just the physical beauty of other people, but the beauty found in arts such as music and sculpture, as well as the beauty found in nature. The beauty of flowers. The beauty of birds and butterflies. Appreciation of true beauty is a spiritual gift that we should do our best to develop.




“On The Hunt For Cosmic Dawn And The Universe’s Very First Stars”

 

 

There’s a time early on in the Universe known as Cosmic Dawn. This is within the first few billion years after the Big Bang, when the first stars and galaxies were blazing, clearing out the cosmic fog. A new survey with Webb has looked at thousands of objects in a region that’s about three times bigger than the Moon, revealing a collection of galaxies forming within the first billion years of the Universe’s history.
