i find it so unfair that i cant do all the science. like what do you MEAN I can't study bio and chem and biochem and atrophysics and physics and geology and climate science. what do you MEAN i have a limited lifespan and need to get out of school at some point to get a job. i want to collect the science fields like pokemon, this isn't fair

Is Moon in the 6th house of horoscope bad?

The placement of the Moon in the 6th house of the horoscope can have various effects, and whether it is considered "bad" or not depends on the overall context of the individual's birth chart. Here are some points to consider:

Work and Service Orientation: The 6th house is traditionally associated with work, service, and health matters. When the Moon is placed here, it may indicate a person who finds emotional fulfillment through work and service to others. This placement can be beneficial for those involved in healing professions or service-oriented jobs.

Emotional Challenges: On the flip side, the Moon in the 6th house might suggest emotional challenges related to work, health, or daily routines. The individual may be emotionally invested in their job or may experience fluctuations in emotions based on the daily grind.

Health Concerns: Depending on other factors in the chart, the Moon in the 6th house could also influence health matters. Emotional well-being may have an impact on physical health, and there may be a need to pay attention to maintaining a healthy daily routine.

Conflict and Enemies: The 6th house is associated with conflict, enemies, and obstacles. The Moon here may indicate emotional conflicts or challenges with co-workers. However, the overall aspects and influences on the Moon will determine the intensity and nature of these conflicts.

Nurturing Others: The Moon represents nurturing and caring instincts. In the 6th house, this could manifest as a caring and nurturing attitude towards colleagues, subordinates, or those in need. The person may find emotional satisfaction in helping others overcome challenges.

Routine and Habits: The Moon in the 6th house may influence emotional responses to daily routines and habits. Establishing a stable and emotionally satisfying routine could be important for overall well-being.

It is important to consider the entire birth chart and aspects (angular relationships between planets) for a comprehensive analysis. Additionally, a person's personal experiences and choices play a significant role in how these astrological factors manifest in their life.

Stars are the same as ever, I don't have the guts to keep it together

Astronomers have observed a dying star engulfing a planet for the first time. It’s something that’s likely to happen to Earth in a few billion years.

While the precursors and after-effects of stars engulfing planets have been observed before, this is the first time a star’s been caught sucking in a planet that strayed too close.

This happens when Sun-like stars get old, expanding in size until they’ve engulfed planets in their star systems.

It’s estimated to only happen a few times a year in the Milky Way, making it a difficult to observe.

The researchers who have just published their observation in Nature,  first spotted the evidence of planetary engulfment in May 2020, when they saw a bright flash on a star 12,000 light-years away, in the Aquila constellation.

They were looking for flashes from stellar binaries with data from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF).

Binary star systems occasionally get brighter, as mass from one star is pulled into the other.

“One night, I noticed a star that brightened by a factor of 100 over the course of a week, out of nowhere,” says lead author Dr Kishalay De, a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US.

“It was unlike any stellar outburst I had seen in my life.”

When he cross-referenced this data against observations from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, De couldn’t find any of the tell-tale chemical signatures that binary eruptions normally give off.

Next, the researchers looked at infrared data from the Palomar Observatory.

“That infrared data made me fall off my chair,” says De.

“The source was insanely bright in the near-infrared.”

This could have indicated that the flash was a red nova – an explosion from two merging stars.

But data from NASA’s infrared space telescope, NEOWISE, showed that the explosion was too small – about one thousandth the size of even a small stellar merger.

“That means that whatever merged with the star has to be 1,000 times smaller than any other star we’ve seen,” says De.

“And it’s a happy coincidence that the mass of Jupiter is about 1/1,000 the mass of the sun. That’s when we realized: This was a planet, crashing into its star.”

[ Stars like our Sun turn hydrogen into helium in their cores – until they get to old age, when the hydrogen runs out. At this point, helium starts fusing into carbon, and the outer layers of the star expand outwards and glow red as they get cooler.

Marenfeld ]

The researchers believe that the planet was between about one and 10 times the mass of Jupiter.

The initial flash from the planet’s engulfment lasted 10 days, followed by 100 days of a bright infrared emission caused by the engulfing star ejecting material.

“I think there’s something pretty remarkable about these results that speaks to the transience of our existence,” says co-author Dr Ryan Lau, an astronomer at the US National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab.

“After the billions of years that span the lifetime of our Solar System, our own end stages will likely conclude in a final flash that lasts only a few months.”

It's important to note that while numerology can provide insights and be an interesting concept for some, it is not a science, and interpretations can vary. People are unique, and individual experiences may differ. Numerology is just one of many belief systems that some individuals find meaningful or intriguing.

How notes from the mothers of astronomy were reclaimed in art, by Liz Kruesi, «National Geographic», July 7, 2022

«Artist Erika Blumenfeld chose materials forged by stars. Gold—now known to be a product of stellar explosions—gilds the marks of Harvard College Observatory’s "women computers." The deep blue paper bearing those marks is a cyanotype, its inky color the product of two separate chemical-emulsion applications each exposed to sunlight for 20 minutes.» – [© Erika Blumenfeld.
