We will be required to use our intellect and the cerebral qualities associated with Air to create new ideas and move the framework for what it means to be a human being. There will be more space travel, more wind and solar innovation and less dependency on the Earth. It gives us an opportunity to look at our situation from a different vantage point. “Air is about communication and technology-it’s about working with wind and not what we can take from Earth. Kelly, who describes herself as an optimistic realist, feels the next few years will be a real test of our humanity and potential for growth. “One of the things that make us human is our curiosity and our desire to understand,” says Kelly. It seems to be built into our nature to look upwards in times of need-the planets and stars have always served us well. These are all Aquarian traits.” Why are more of us turning to astrology in times of uncertainty?įor as long as humans have walked on Earth, we’ve looked to the heavens for guidance and clarity on real-life events.

When it last occurred, in the 19th century, it proved to be a time of revolutions in technology, industry and government. What we do know is, generally speaking, this is an age that’s associated with hope and innovation. “There isn’t any firm agreement on when it starts. “It’s more conceptual than you might think,” she says. Some astrologers suggest it starts on the vernal equinox on Main the northern hemisphere, while others, such as Kelly, focus on the conjunction that occurred in December 2020. The exact starting date of this new age is up for debate. This time, though, they’re going to meet in Aquarius, which is an air sign. Over the past 200 years, each time the planets have converged, they’ve met in an Earth sign (with one exception). “Collectively, the data and information gathered during this expedition will help us close gaps in our understanding of this part of the planet, so we can better manage and protect it.Jupiter will remain in Aquarius for around a year, while Saturn will stay for two-and-a-half years. “New species have the potential to reveal new sources for medical therapies and vaccines, food, energy, and other societal benefits and knowledge,” Candio said. NOAA reports that while it’s still unclear if the golden dome is associated with a known species, a new species, or perhaps represents an unknown life stage of an existing one, the discovery highlights the importance of ocean exploration. While the intriguing gold orb specimen was found at a depth of about 2 miles, some of the remote dives will descend to nearly 4 miles beneath the surface of the Gulf of Alaska to explore deep-sea coral and sponge habitats, fish habitats, chemosynthetic communities and the water column and to improve knowledge of past and potential geohazards, per NOAA’s mission statement. waters, the high seas and Canadian waters off Alaska. Operations are focused on exploring deep waters greater than 656 feet for mapping operations and 820 feet for remote operated vehicle operations in U.S. The primary goal of the research effort is to “map, explore and characterize ecologically and economically important deepwater habitats in unexplored regions off Alaska,” according to NOAA. The discovery was made just a week into NOAA’s Seascape Alaska 5 expedition that launched Aug. “It’s like the beginning of a horror movie.” “I just hope when we poke it, something doesn’t decide to come out,” one scientist can be heard saying on a video recording of the retrieval of the specimen, per the Miami Herald. A small hole or tear near its base revealed a similarly colored interior, indicating, perhaps, that something had left or entered the fleshy dome. NOAA reports the gold, dome-shaped specimen, a little over four inches in diameter, was found adhered to a rock amid a smattering of white sponges at a site 250 miles off the coast of southern Alaska at a depth of 2 miles. While somewhat humbling to be stumped by this finding, it serves as a reminder of how little we know about our own planet and how much is left to learn and appreciate about our ocean.” “We likely won’t learn more until we are able to get it into a laboratory setting where we can continue to pull from the collective expertise of the scientific community with more sophisticated tools than we are able to maintain on the ship.
