[DiosasAncianos2012] Merging of Sagittarius and Milky Way Galaxies ...

 

 

 

Very interesting article... I have one thought that they seem to have not

thought of... They seem to think we are discovering this at the end of this

galaxy and that the Milky Way just gobbles up all the smaller ones, but I say

what if periodically members of the milky way get together and create small off

shoots in order to create something they do not want the mother galaxy to be

affected by while they test it out??? Then after their testing the mother

reabsorbs them... Something like Persephone going to the underworld and then

coming back... Or Sophi diving into the matrix and then coming back home... It

isn't always about monsters...

Abila, Jahnets

 

 

Guess Who's NOT from Here--US! We think of our solar system as being part of

the Milky Way galaxy, but astronomers are discovering that we are actually part

of another galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, that is in the process of

colliding with the Milky Way.

At first, this might seem to be of little importance, but that would appear to

be very far from the truth. As it happens, our solar system is in the process of

entering the plane of the Milky Way, meaning that an increase in solar energy

output will be taking place, and indeed, we see evidence all across the solar

system that this is indeed happening.

Among changes recently observed are dark spots appearing on Pluto, possibly as

a result of increasing temperatures, auroras on Saturn because of heightened

electromagnetic activity, changes in the magnetic fields of Earth, Neptune,

Uranus and Jupiter, and the steady melting of the Martian polar caps.

Scientists Now Know: We're Not From Here! Summary & comments by Dan Eden for

Viewzone

Imagine the shock of growing up in a loving family with people you call " Mum "

and " Dad " and then, suddenly, learning that you are actually adopted!

This same sense of shock came as scientists announced that the Sun, the Moon,

our planet and its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known

as the Milky Way galaxy, but we actually belong to a strange formation with the

unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy!

How can this be?

Using volumes of data from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), a major

project to survey the sky in infrared light led by the University of

Massachusetts, the astronomers are answering questions that have baffled

scientists for decades and proving that our own Milky Way is consuming one of

its neighbors in a dramatic display of ongoing galactic cannibalism. The study

published in the Astrophysical Journal, is the first to map the full extent of

the Sagittarius galaxy and show in visually vivid detail how its debris wraps

around and passes through our Milky Way. Sagittarius is 10,000 times smaller in

mass than the Milky Way, so it is getting stretched out, torn apart and gobbled

up by the bigger Milky Way.

 

A new infra red digital survey of the entire sky was made in 2003. Teams

from the universities of Virginia and Massachusetts used a supercomputer to sort

through half a billion stars to create a -- NEW STAR MAP showing our Solar

System (yellow circle) to be at the exact nexus crossroads where two galaxies

are actually joining.

" It's clear who's the bully in the interaction, " said Steven Majewski, U.Va.

professor of astronomy and lead author on the paper describing the results.

" If people had infrared-sensitive eyes, the entrails of Sagittarius would be a

prominent fixture sweeping across our sky, " Majewski said. " But at human, visual

wavelengths, they become buried among countless intervening stars and obscuring

dust. The great expanse of the Sagittarius system has been hidden from view. "

Not any more. By using infrared maps, the astronomers filtered away millions

of foreground stars to focus on a type of star called an M giant. These large,

infrared-bright stars are populous in the Sagittarius galaxy but uncommon in the

outer Milky Way. The 2MASS infrared map of M giant stars analyzed by Majewski

and collaborators is the first to give a complete view of the Milky Way galaxy's

meal of Sagittarius stars, now wrapping like a spaghetti noodle around the Milky

Way. Prior to this work, astronomers had detected only a few scattered pieces of

the disrupted Sagittarius dwarf. Even the existence of Sagittarius was unknown

until the heart of this nearest satellite galaxy of the Milky Way was discovered

by a British team of astronomers in 1994.

Here's an animation of the " marriage " .

The fact that the Milky Way is seen in the sky at an angle has always puzzled

astronomers. If we originated from the Milky Way, we ought to be oriented to the

galaxy's ecliptic, with the planets aligned around our Sun in much the same

angle as our Sun aligns with the Milky Way. Instead, as first suggested by

researcher Matthew Perkins Erwin, the odd angle suggests that our Sun is

influenced by some other system. Together with data from the Two-Micron All Sky

Survey we now know what it is. We actually belong to the Sagittarius Dwarf

galaxy.

" We sifted several thousand interesting stars from a catalog of half a

billion, " said co-author Michael Skrutskie, U.Va. professor of astronomy and

principal investigator for the 2MASS project. " By tuning our maps of the sky to

the 'right' kind of star, the Sagittarius system jumped into view. "

We are from another galaxy in the process of joining with the Milky Way. The

Milky Way is actually not our parent galaxy. The mystery of why the Milky Way

has always been sideways in the night sky has never been answered -- until now.

" This first full-sky map of Sagittarius shows its extensive interaction with

the Milky Way, " Majewski said. " Both stars and star clusters now in the outer

parts of the Milky Way have been 'stolen' from Sagittarius as the gravitational

forces of the Milky Way nibbled away at its dwarf companion. This one vivid

example shows that the Milky Way grows by eating its smaller neighbors. "

The study's map of M giants depicts 2 billion years of Sagittarius stripping

by the Milky Way, and suggests that Sagittarius has reached a critical phase in

what had been a slow dance of death.

" After slow, continuous gnawing by the Milky Way, Sagittarius has been

whittled down to the point that it cannot hold itself together much longer, "

said 2MASS Science Team member and study co-author Martin Weinberg of the

University of Massachusetts. " We are seeing Sagittarius at the very end of its

life as an intact system. "

Does this mean we are at a unique moment in the life of our galaxy? Yes and

no.

" Whenever possible, astronomers appeal to the principle that we are not at a

special time or place in the universe, " Majewski said. " Because over the 14

billion-year history of the Milky Way it is unlikely that we would just happen

to catch a brief event like the death of Sagittarius, we infer that such events

must be common in the life of big spiral galaxies like our own. The Milky Way

probably dined on a number of dwarf galaxy snacks in the past. "

On the other hand, Majewski and his colleagues have been surprised by the

Earth's proximity to a portion of the Sagittarius debris.

" For only a few percent of its 240 million-year orbit around the Milky Way

galaxy does our Solar System pass through the path of Sagittarius debris, "

Majewski said. " Remarkably, stars from Sagittarius are now raining down onto our

present position in the Milky Way. Stars from an alien galaxy are relatively

near us. We have to re-think our assumptions about the Milky Way galaxy to

account for this contamination. "

The new findings will help astronomers measure the total mass of the Milky Way

and Sagittarius galaxies, and probe the quantity and distribution of the

invisible dark matter in these systems.

" The shape of the Sagittarius debris trail shows us that the Milky Way's

unseen dark matter is in a spherical distribution, a result that is quite

unexpected, " Weinberg said.

" The observations provide new insights into the nature of the mysterious dark

matter, " said Princeton's Spergel. " Either our galaxy is unusual or the dark

matter has richer properties than postulated by conventional models. "

This grand turning is possibly the root cause for the discontinuation of the

Mayan calendar (the most accurate on the planet) because the 'read-point' of the

Pleiades star cluster, which many believe the calendar was based upon, can no

longer be a constant as we begin to steer away from the earlier predictable

movements.

Other changes happening in our system

The " marriage " of our birth galaxy with our new adopted Milky Way galaxy is

causing energy shifts that are obvious just about everywhere. Here are some

changes being watched by scientists:

* A growth of dark spots on Pluto.

* Reporting of auroras on Saturn.

* Reporting of Uranus and Neptune polar shifts (They are magnetically

conjugate planets), and the abrupt large-scale growth of Uranus' magnetosphere

intensity.

* A change in light intensity and light spot dynamics on Neptune.

* The doubling of the magnetic field intensity on Jupiter (based upon 1992

data), and a series of new states and processes observed on this planet as an

aftermath of a series of explosions in July 1994 [caused by " Comet " SL-9]. That

is, a relaxation of a plasmoid train which excited the Jovian magnetosphere,

thus inducing excessive plasma generation and it's release in the same manner as

Solar coronal holes inducing an appearance of radiation belt brightening in

decimeter band (13.2 and 36 cm), and the appearance of large auroral anomalies

and a change of the Jupiter - Io system of currents.

 

Update Note: A stream of ionized hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. is being

directed to Jupiter from the volcanic areas of Io through a one million amperes

flux tube. It is affecting the character of Jupiter's magnetic process and

intensifying it's plasma genesis.[Z.I.Vselennaya " Earth and Universe " N3, 1997

plo-9 by NASA data] * A series of Martian atmosphere transformations increasing

its biosphere quality. In particularly, a cloudy growth in the equator area and

an unusual growth of ozone concentration.

 

Update Note: Mars Surveyor Satellite encountered an atmospheric density double

that projected by NASA upon entering a Mars orbit. This greater density bent one

of the solar array arms beyond the full and open stop. This combination of

events has delayed the beginning of the scheduled photo mission for one year. *

A first stage atmosphere generation on the Moon, where a growing natrium

atmosphere is detected that reaches 9,000 km in height.

* Significant physical, chemical and optical changes observed on Venus; an

inversion of dark and light spots detected for the first time, and a sharp

decrease of sulfur-containing gases in its atmosphere.

* A Change in the Quality of Interplanetary Space Towards an Increase in Its

Interplanetary and Solar-Planetary Transmitting Properties.

When speaking of new energetic and material qualities of interplanetary space,

we must first point out the increase of the interplanetary domains energetic

charge, and level of material saturation. This change of the typical mean state

of interplanetary space has two main causes:

* The supply/inflow of matter from interstellar space. (Radiation material,

ionized elements, and combinations.)

* The after effects of Solar Cycle 22 activity, especially as a result of fast

coronal mass ejection's [CME's] of magnetized solar plasmas.

What does it all mean?

We of the overarching Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy have finally come

down next to, and even with the massively powerful spiral armed equatorial plane

of the Milky Way Galaxy.

In our movement through space, our Earth has now fully begun to respond to the

more powerful galactic energies and electro-gravitational bias of the massive

Milky Way. We have reached the higher energy equatorial disc region of the

massive spiral arm. We have now been " adopted " by a new system, a stronger and

more powerful system, and we can expect changes on almost every level of energy.

Whatever these changes are, they are all part of the natural birth, death,

rebirth and transformation of the cosmos. As our knowledge of the universe

grows, we cannot but understand how much we do not understand. Such is life.
