Thanks for your reply. Illuminating...
Your very welcome! The next two verses deal with another sign in the heavens that is not in the current star tracking software. If the first sign is literal, then the second is probably literal as well. This is why the Vatican is funding an infrared telescope, that used to be called Project Lucifer, and is now just called Luci, in Arizona.
Revelation 12
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
