A new supernova? Darn right. Lighting up Leo? Well… not without some serious visual aid, but the fact that someone out there is watching and has invited us along for the ride is mighty important. And just who might that someone be? None other than Tim Puckett. Less than 24 hours ago, the American Association of Variable Star Observer’s Report #222 stated:
“Bright Supernova in UGC 5189A: SN 2010jl November 5, 2010
We have been informed by Tim Puckett and by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBET 2532, Daniel W. E. Green, Ed.) of the discovery of a bright supernova in UGC 5189A by J. Newton and Puckett, Portal, AZ, on November 3.52 UT at unfiltered magnitude 13.5. Confirming images (limiting magnitude 19.1) by Puckett on Nov. 4.50 UT showed the object at magnitude 12.9.
Spectroscopic observations (CBET 2536, Daniel W. E. Green, Ed.) by S. Benetti and F. Bufano, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, and by J. Vinko, University of Szeged, G. H. Marion, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and University of Texas, T. Pritchard, Pennsylvania State University, and J. C. Wheeler and E. Chatzopoulos, University of Texas, show that SN 2010jl is a type-IIn supernova. Vinko et al. also report that simultaneous measurements with Swift/UVOT in the ultraviolet bands confirm that the transient is ultraviolet-bright, as expected for young, interacting supernovae.
Coordinates: 09 42 53.33 +09 29 41.8 (J2000.0) This position is 2.4″ east and 7.7″ north of the center of UGC 5189A.
Hey! That kind of talk is gonna focus all.
Maybe I am lost in translation with your posts, but in a nutshell I do not see *Biblical Astrology* as mundane, I assume you mean like the prophecies of Nostradamus?
The Second Coming of Christ will be a *Celestial Event* I am not making predictions, just posting articles that have relevance in my opinion as *Signs and Wonders* in Luke 21;25.
I think the signs in the heavens refer to observed changes in the orders of things....perhaps men battling each other at the periphery in space,,,asteroid and meteor hits. The moon is knocked out of orbit or even destroyed. Planetary shakeups and even interstellar changes as God begins to “shake the heavens and the earth, the seas and the dry lands”. Astronomers have been commenting on the curious lack of sunspots even at a time where numbers should be ramping up according to past measured cycles. The Bible also talks about the appearance of a “sign of the Son of Man” appearing in the heavenlies causing international costernation or “mourning”. Luke 21:25 speaks of a change of state in the heavenlies, not about the static order of things that were currently observed at the time of Christ.
Ok then..I was not sure mundane was applied in regards to the Star of Bethlehem...
Science calls it *Climate Change* that is they’re understanding of Celestial events that are affecting the earth rather than Luke 21;25.
Sun and it’s lack of sunspots and an increase in earthquake and volcanic activity.
They didn’t seek to oppose the will of God, they sought signs as His prophecy told them, to look for the King of the Jews, the Lion of Judah, born of a Virgin. There have been credible efforts to determine the date and year of Jesus’ birth by regressing astrological charts.
Me too, please.
These were all good books regarding this subject. This is not astrology. The premise is that the Patriarchs of old, who understood the Gospel message (as promised in Genesis 3:15 - that the Seed of the Woman would crush the head of the serpent...), defined the various constellation of stars to record the Gospel Promise fo succeeding generations. From Virgo (the Virgin) to Leo (the Lion of Judah pouncing on Hydra the serpent ... and with the cup of wrath being poured out on Hydra) - this Gospel message was put there for all to see and remember.
The premise can't be proved (or disproved) - as there are no statements in the Bible that state that the Patriarchs defined the Constellations (Zodiac, and the accompanying Decan constellations - a total of 48 constellations) - but between Virgo the Virgin, and Libra the scales, and Scorpio, and the two bound fishes, the fish-goat (the head a dying - as being sacrificed goat; and the tail of a living fish), Aries the sacrificed Ram, etc ... there seems to be a Gospel design in how these Constellations were defined.
Most of these aforementioned books build off of Frances Rolleston's work (a manuscript published in the mid 1800s), but they all provide interesting angles on this study.
Probably the most thorough example among all the hits on the Google search link I provided to you would be:
http://www.versebyverse.org/doctrine/birthofchrist.html
This one is just straightforward, in outline form with ample Biblical sourcing. The topic does attract wackiness from several quarters, but this is devoid of it.
Thanks! I will take a look...
Yes you too!
Thanks for those other titles.
Thanks.

Very true! If it appears to us during the Winter, we will be without darkness for a few months. If we see it during the Summer, our sky could look similar to Tatooine(wouldn't that be the coolest!). Betelgeuse could have already went Super Nova, but we aren't yet seeing it.
‘I wish we’d get one bright enough to see during the day in my lifetime.’
I know that it can’t go supernova, but would Sol be bright enough for you?
me too please
