In March 2021, astronomers observed a high-energy burst of light from a distant galaxy. Assigned the name AT 2021hdr, it was thought to be a supernova.
However, there were enough interesting features that flagged as potentially interesting by the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE).

“Because they do not know the Father of all, who was revealed by him alone who came and who knew him. It remains for us who have been counted worthy of the knowledge of both of these to provide you with an accurate explanation of the nature of the law and of the legislator by whom it was ordained. We shall draw the proofs of what we say from the words of the savior, which alone can lead us without error to the comprehension of reality. First, you must learn that the entire law contained in the Pentateuch of Moses was not ordained by one legislator, I mean, not by God alone; some commandments are Moses’, and some were given by men. The words of the Savior teach us this triple division. The first part must be attributed to God himself and his legislating, the second to Moses—not in the sense that God legislates through him, but in the sense that Moses gave some legislation under the influence of his own ideas—and the third to the elders of the people, who seem to have ordained some commandments of their own at the beginning. In some discussion with those who disputed with the savior about divorce, which was permitted in the law, he said, ‘Because of your hardheartedness Moses permitted a man to divorce his wife; from the beginning it was not so.’”
-The Letter to Flora
If you have been in Cosolargy for some time, you are aware of the teachings of Cosolargy regarding the three sources of law, which are a little different from the three sources listed in the quote. The quote lists the three sources as God, Moses, and other humans. In Cosolargy, we see the three sources of law as God, Nature, and Man. We are also taught that God’s Law is supreme, nature’s law is second to God’s law, and man’s law is the lowest in the hierarchy.
God’s Law is supreme, especially for those who wish to have an immortal life in Heaven. The forces and beings of Darkness try to convince us otherwise, but they lie. Some people will have to learn this the hard way.
Most of us are familiar with some of the Laws of Nature. Gravity and inertia are good examples. We can create machines that allow us to overcome the Law of Gravity to some degree, but we cannot simply declare that gravity doesn’t exist and make it so. The same is true of other natural laws. Some think that the Laws of Nature are superior to the Laws of God, and even God must obey those laws. That is simply not true. God can change the Laws of Nature anytime he wants to. We should also note that the Laws of Nature apply to the physical universe only. The spiritual universe has completely different laws, and those are the Laws of God.
Laws created by human agencies are the lowest level of the three, though you would not know this by the laws that humans pass. Many of Man’s Laws defy the Laws of God, yet that doesn’t really change them. We are all still obligated to live by the Laws of God. So Man can pass laws that allow killing of other people under certain circumstances, but that doesn’t change God’s Law that forbids such killing. Man can cancel the old laws that made Sunday a day dedicated to God, but that doesn’t change the reality of it. Man can pass laws allowing some people to keep others as slaves, but that doesn’t change the Law of God that forbids it.
Likewise, humans cannot pass laws that cancel or change the Laws of Nature. Men can write a law that says there will be no gravity on Friday, but that won’t change the reality. Humans could write a law that says we can live indefinitely as physical beings, but that will not change the nature of birth, growth, and death.
So we must all remember that there is a hierarchy of laws, and we must follow that hierarchy. God’s Law is supreme, followed by the Law of Nature, and then the Laws of Men.
Open star clusters are young, loosely bound gatherings of stars. The stars in these clusters were born together. They’re still sometimes moving within the nebula, or cosmic cloud, of their creation. They’re occasionally called galactic clusters. Scientists have discovered more than 1,100 open clusters around us in space. They may contain a handful of stars or thousands of stars. Most likely won’t survive more than several orbits around our galaxy’s center before being disrupted and dispersed. You can see many open star clusters with the eye alone! Or you can aim binoculars or telescopes their way …
The Event Horizon Telescope – the same group that, in 2019, obtained the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole, in the galaxy M87 – says it will make a groundbreaking announcement on Thursday, May 12, 2022. The press conference will be held at ESO’s headquarters in Garching, Germany, beginning at 15 CEST (13 UTC, or 8 a.m. CDT). The press conference is focused on Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. Could it be the first-ever image of our galaxy’s supermassive black hole?
Globular clusters are giant balls of millions of stars held together by gravity and orbiting in the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. On November 5, 2024, scientists from the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), the University of Bologna and Indiana University said they’ve conducted the first 3D analysis of how stars move within 16 globular clusters. Their study adds to the understanding of the formation and evolution of these massive stellar groups.

“Should you who possess everything not know yourself? If you do not know yourself, you will not enjoy what you own. But know yourself and what you have enjoy.
“The perfect human can neither be restrained nor seen. If they see him, they can stop him, so there is no way to grace but to put on the perfect light and become perfect. All who put on that garment will enter the kingdom. This is the perfect light. We must become perfect before leaving this world. Who is rich and has not thrown it off will not share in the kingdom but will go as imperfect into the middle. Only Jesus knows where that will end.
“Now we have the manifest things of creation. We say, ‘The strong are they who are held in high regard, and the obscure are the weak who are despised.’ Contrast the manifest things of truth: they are weak and despised, whereas the hidden things are strong and held in high regard. The mysteries of truth are revealed, though, in type and image. The bridal chamber remains hidden. It is the holy in the holy. The veil at first concealed how god controls creation, but when the veil is torn and things inside are revealed, this house will be left desolate, or rather it will be destroyed. But the whole inferior godhead will not flee from these places into the holies of the holies, for it cannot mix with the pure light and the perfect fullness. Rather, it will be under the wings of the cross and under its arms.”
-The Gospel of Philip
It doesn’t seem possible to many people that they don’t know themselves, but the fact is that most of us only know part of what we truly are. We generally know little about our spiritual Self, and not as much as we think we know about our physical self. For example, most people don’t know the health conditions of all the organs of their body. Nor do they know the fastest speed they can run or the heaviest weight they can lift. We might know the fastest speed we have run in the past, but we would probably run even faster if a bear were chasing us. Likewise, we may know the heaviest weight we have lifted under normal circumstances, but there are plenty of stories of people showing what is considered superhuman strength in an emergency, such as when their child is trapped under a car. As for knowledge of spiritual matters, most of us only have opinions on such things, not known facts gained by awakening and developing our spiritual Self.
I think it is misleading to say that we should put on the perfect Light as if it is a garment that we wear on the outside only. In actual fact, when we are exposed to this Light, and learn how to take it in, it permeates every part, every organ, every cell of our physical body and our spiritual body as well. The Perfect Light is the Light that comes from God and reaches us through the intermediary of the Spiritual Sun. We might say that in a way, the Spiritual Sun is like a window between Heaven and Earth.
Philip says “ We must become perfect before leaving this world.” That is not exactly true, and probably not even possible. What is true is that we must start the process of becoming perfect by awakening and developing our spirits as much as possible while we are still in the physical world. Then the process can continue after the death of the physical body until we do reach perfection.
Philip tells us that the worldly people think that those who are “held in high regard” are considered strong, while those who are not are considered weak. He then tells us that in reality, the truth is often just the opposite. Those who have great power and esteem in the physical realm are generally weak on the spiritual side, while those who are spiritually strong, are not held in high regard in the physical realm. But the spirit is eternal, while the physical is temporary, so one who spends his life gathering esteem and wealth on the physical plane is gathering a treasure of shadows. The one who practices love, humility, and seeks eternal truth is the one who is ultimately strong in an eternal way.
A dead star 27,400 light-years away appears to be having one of the most epic stellar discos we’ve ever seen.
In the binary system 4U 1820-30, a neutron star is spinning so fast around its center axis that it completes a breathtaking 716 rotations per second. No stars have been discovered spinning faster, and only the famous pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad has been found spinning at that speed.

The powerful Euclid telescope has captured millions of stars and galaxies in a dazzling new mosaic — and it represents just the first piece of a massive puzzle the observatory has been designed to solve.
The European Space Agency mission, launched in July 2023, will create the largest and most accurate 3D map of the cosmos yet to help answer enduring questions about the “dark side” of the universe.
In the constellation of Cygnus, some 7,800 light-years from Earth, lurks a real space oddity. There, a black hole in a system named V404 Cygni repeatedly engages in behavior that has simultaneously baffled and delighted scientists.
Now it’s whipped a brand new trick out of its seemingly endless arsenal: an unseen binary companion, a star on a wide orbit of around 70,000 years.
Since V404 Cygni already has a companion – a star on a close, 6.5-day orbit, on which the central black hole is leisurely feasting – the newly discovered third object makes the system a trinary.
