Astronomy Picture of the Day

Some of the constellations pictured above are not those visable from Earth. I strongly suggest that astonomers put the data about these star formations into a computer, which would visualize what the night sky would look like from fresh points of reference.

I think it's highly probable that we are looking at a star chart from another 'nearby' world. Only now, with the use of computers is it possible to build star charts of the night sky visable from nearby worlds. Please note that some constellations on the manuscript are familiar to astrononmers and other formations appear to be unique. This supports the notion that we are dealing with 'nearby planet's; Mars, planets about Alpha Canturi?

Seasoned astronomers probably already know which stars and 'constellations' are made up of 'nearby' stars and which represent distorted, or absent constellations.

I'm confident this theory could be accepted or dismissed after a few minutes of thoughtful consideration. Computer simulations might also help us reach the conclusion that this is a one of a kind manuscript, or a complete fraud and fabrication. Similar to 'the Devil's Bible', another medival book that contains mysterious incantations, maps and sky charts. Maybe the V. Manuscript is just another in a series of bogus quasi-biblical books drafted by over imaginative monks during the Middle Ages? It's really fascinating to speculate whether the V. manuscript features the observations made by a human astronomer who might have been abducted by ancient aliens and transported to another world?

Cool!

The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter hear. But in the common tonuge it reads “Me Chinese, me play joke. Me go pee-pee in your coke”.

Here’s a link to pictures from the book. Fascinating. http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/SetsSearchExecXC.asp?srchtype=ITEM

I think Bebop scales are musically interesting. I find them interesting because they are not Diatonic and to my own listening preference, music played on the DOWNBEAT has more ear candy. In a Diatonic scale, the rhythms used with a metronome when playing eight eighth notes in 4/4 time doesn't match up because, a major or minor scale only has seven notes. The addition of a "8th" note (actually its a passing tone) in a Bebop scale, allows the rhythms to match up or align with the notes in 4/4 time.

For example, playing a C Mixolydian (C major with an added Bb) over a C9 chord in 4/4, rhythmically matches a metronome on the DOWNBEAT (2 and 4). A C major Bebop scale would add a G# as the eighth note. With a metronome, the rhythms match up with the DOWNBEAT. Its just personal preference. YMMV

Yes Indeed! The BeBop Scales are Very Cool! I also love the various Modes as well.

The minor second that begins the Phrygian and Locrian Modes is also intriguing.

Hungarian Scales and Gypsy Scales sometimes feature that.

BTW, if anyone questions what relationship music bears to ASTRONOMY, it’s all PHYSICS! LOL

It is clearly a phrophacy of the Big O, the One. The language is archaic eubonics in the swaliah text.

Link doesn’t work.

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for the ping! :)

Oh great...now you've gone and done it.

Cool!
