There’s something magnetic about Sagittarius. This zodiac sign, active from November 22 to December 21, carries a spark that feels instantly recognizable—bold, curious, and constantly on the move. Sagittarius blends passion, intensity, and flexibility in a way that sets them apart. Their symbol, the archer, reflects a spirit that shoots toward distant horizons, eager to uncover meaning in places many people would skip. From remote rivers to historic sites filled with forgotten stories, Sagittarius pursues knowledge with an energy that rarely slows down. The Core Nature of Sagittarius Sagittarius is the final fire sign, and its traits burn with motion and curiosity. This sign is mutable, which explains its constant pull toward change and exploration.

In his newest deep-space image, astrophotographer Greg Meyer turns the cosmos into a canvas. His subject — a nebula shaped like a furious baboon — has been dubbed the Rampaging Baboon Nebula. Streams of gas and dust weave through the frame, glowing in hues that give the scene a startling sense of movement. The photograph spotlights the complex beauty and creative chaos that define our galaxy’s stellar nurseries. A Nebula Like No Other The nebula lies about 500 light-years away in the constellation Corona Australis. Its shape suggests the face of a mandrill, with molecular dust sculpting the mouth and facial contours. The bright blue eyes are created by reflection nebulas that scatter starlight, adding a...
Mars has always been a planet of mystery, but fresh research suggests the Red Planet hides something far more unusual beneath its surface. Instead of a neatly layered interior, scientists have discovered that Mars’ mantle may be filled with giant chunks of rock left over from its violent early years. This finding reshapes the way experts view the inner structure of the planet and offers a rare glimpse into conditions dating back more than 4 billion years. Mars’ Messy Interior When most people think about the inside of a planet, the picture is often a series of tidy layers stacked one on top of another, like a clean geological cake. Mars, however, refuses to fit that...
Lightning might seem like a sudden burst from the sky, but the science behind it runs deep—and recent research has added an electrifying twist. Scientists have long known that thunderstorms build electrical charges until they discharge in brilliant flashes of lightning. What’s new is the evidence pointing to an unexpected trigger: cosmic rays. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have uncovered clues that suggest lightning may actually start with particles from outer space, opening a fresh angle on this natural phenomenon. A Shift in Understanding Thunderclouds have always been the stage for lightning. Traditional understanding says it begins when opposite charges build up in a storm—positive at the top, negative at the bottom. Once the difference...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially raised the bar for what “big data” means in astronomy. After releasing its first batch of cosmic images, the observatory isn't just capturing the night sky—it's creating one of the most extensive visual datasets humanity has ever seen. Powered by the world’s largest digital camera, the images are so detailed and expansive that processing them requires not just high-speed networks, but a whole digital ecosystem: seven international data brokers, three massive data centers, and a uniquely named management system called the Data Butler. The Scale of Rubin’s Cosmic Images What makes Rubin Observatory's contribution truly staggering is the sheer volume and precision of the data it collects. Once it...
In a groundbreaking observation, astronomers have captured an extraordinary moment in the cosmos—a high-speed, high-stakes confrontation between two galaxies over 11 billion light-years away. This isn’t just any merger. It’s a rare, aggressive event where one galaxy is striking the other with intense quasar radiation, dramatically changing its ability to form new stars. This unprecedented sighting is now offering a deeper look into how galaxies interact, evolve, and sometimes collide with devastating consequences. The "Cosmic Joust"—When Galaxies Collide Researchers used the combined power of ALMA and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to observe two galaxies locked in what they describe as a “cosmic joust.” The term goes beyond metaphor—it reflects the actual movement. These...
Reflecting On The Cosmic Noon & Galaxy Formation Through NGC 346
According to astrologers, the Universe went through a mind-boggling process of star formation some 12 billion years ago. It was roughly 3 billion years after the Big Bang when Cosmic Dawn kicked in. On this day, the galaxies that surround the Universe a new set of galaxies made a debut in the galaxy. Following the Cosmic Noon, the renowned Cosmic Dawn occurred which saw an unprecedented growth of stars in the galaxy.
According to scientists and astrologers, stars continued to grow bigger and bigger – at a faster pace – on the Cosmic Dawn. Thus, this ancient era of the star’s revolution is poetically named the Cosmic Dawn. However, it is essential to understand that there is a disagreement among astrologers and scientists about Cosmic Dawn. But the unanimous agreement is that it was some 2 to 3 years after the Big Bang.

Fast forward to 1826, James Dunlop, a Scottish astrologist, discovered something relevant to Cosmic Dawn: NGC 346. The Scottish astrologer discovered that there is a cluster of young stars found in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC.) According to astrologers, this SMC is located some 200,000 light years away from earth.
NGC 346: A Gateway to Understanding the Cosmic Dawn
However, what is fascinating about the discovery of the NCG 346 is that there is an entire process of stars formation in a nebula. This discovery gives a crystal ball of Cosmic Dawn. in other words, this discovery proves that the process of star formation is not a figment of the imagination of some scientists. Instead, it is something that actually occurs in the cosmos.
BBC / The 1826 discovery of NCG 346 – star formation in a nebula – is proof that the Cosmic Dawn is not a figment of the imagination of astrologers.
Astrologers argue that there is a “young and open cluster” of stars in the NCG 346. Here, new stars are born and old stars continue to grow at a rapid pace. Thus, this discovery hints at the billion years of discovery of the Cosmic Dawn. Since both of these are essentially the same, scientists have a clear picture of the Thus, this discovery hints at the billion years of discovery of the Cosmic Dawn.
Nevertheless, astrologers today have a more clear picture of the Cosmic Dawn thanks to the discovery of NGC 346.

One of the benefits of the discovery of NCG 346 is that scientists today understand that star formation on the Cosmic Noon was massive. Something that was much bigger that the star formation of NCG 346.
Based on the discovery of NCG 346, scientists argue that there were thousands of NCG 346 alike occurrences in the cosmos on the Cosmic Noon. At that time, millions of new galaxies – AKA stars were formed. Plus, old galaxies and stars became brighter and bigger. Similarly, other “typical” stars were much bigger than their original sizes by the time of Cosmic Dawn.
although scientists know exactly what happened on the Cosmic Dawn, it still remains au unsolved mystery today.
