Any way, I don't normally start a thread, because they normal crash and burn. Also, I looked to see if any one had posted this and I didn't see one.

So this is basically a, well this is cool and a, I wish I had a telescope as I find our star studded skies awesome.
Nice post, interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I had heard the news on the star mass; I went to the Internet to find additional news. The article on the poll was one that I found and I thought, why not as people like to bat things back and forth. That is how we come up with new ideas and form new generations of great thinkers.

When I heard the report on the Milkyway having a black hole with a vacuum, I did the same thing. Curiosity and interest lead me to
Milky Way's black hole probed closer than ever before - space - 17 January 2008 - New Scientist I questioned if the earth was going to get sucked up into the vacuum million years into the future. That would certainly explain the Biblical count of fire destroying the earth.

However, as some say one can see justifiable images in the cloud formations of the sky, as well. However, my interest lies in the Greek Gods of the sky, Zeus Apollo and then there are of course constellations of astronomy (Capricorn there are stars that form a goat, etc) and wondered if anyone understood philosophy as it relates to astronomy?

Yes, it is a group of stars surrounded by a blue mass that make up the form of a hand. Whether or not a person perceives the formation to be that of the hand/eye of God is up to them. It is beautiful, none-the-less.

I believe the Bible was written by scholars of astronomy, philosophy, scientist, ect. that existed in the day and they wrote down a journal of what was and how they perceived the future of man to be, based on their day and time.

Does the form of the stars though relate to the Greek God's constellations?
most interesting post (thought-provoking!) and even more interesting link - astronomers might see and describe what many others can only feel and not adequately express!

That wasn't the Virgin Mary's image. It was a different Mary.

That's just it. We don't know that it is, but we don't know that it isn't. Here's a piece from mythology on the coyote constellation.

Quote:
According to Navajo mythology, the Milky Way was created by the mischievous behavior of the god, Coyote. When the world was created, the Holy People gathered around Black God to place the stars in the sky. Coyote grew annoyed at the slowness of this process.

In his anger, he chose to place a red star, called Ma'iio, in the south. Ma'iio means 'the one who roams'. This star symbolizes Coyote and appears for only a short time during the year. To the Navajo, it is a symbol of trouble. Coyote continued to be displeased with the Holy People's progress and threw the bag of stars over his head, forming the Milky Way.

Coyote was a trickster, and would often use this to get what he wanted. In one story, Coyote turned a hero into a coyote, and in turn became the man. He went to the hero's home and slept with his wife. Coyote smelled very bad. When the wife visited her mother, she smelled the Coyote on the wife. They then knew that Coyote had tricked them.Coyote
There are gods all over the night sky depicted by their constellations.

Greek mythology? I'm not a study of greek mythology or how it relates to philosophy, but like in the constellation that we all know, the big dipper or little dipper, there are star constellations that...like connect the dots, they are the gods and goddess of the universe.

Here's a little write up on Aphrodite
Quote:
Aphrodite.
0131: Venus mit dem Apfel. 1813-16. B. T. Thorvaldsen 1770-1844. Werkstattkopie von W. Matthiä. Neue Pinakotek, München.
Aphrodite is in charge of wedlock and the tender passions.

Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus (Vir.Aen.8.372; QS.2.139), the god of smiths, who discovered the ways of working copper, iron, silver and gold. Hephaestus, who is lame in the legs because Zeus cast him out from Heaven causing his fall to the island of Lemnos, is one of the Olympian gods and the fatherless son of Hera, the queen of Heaven, or perhaps the son of Zeus and Hera (Apd.1.3.5; Hes.The.929ff.; Hom.Il.1.571). Aphrodite and Hephaestus never had children. Aphrodite - Greek Mythology Link

dots connecting, children for a perfected future presence, much service given to those recognizing themselves in those resonances...

with another kind of humility and grateful acknowledgement.. and understanding hope as well as impatience .....
