Tornado Alley (PROG)

8th min. edit at bottom. 12yearplan, That first article is mind-boggling many times over:

"The flare-up, traced to 8bn light years away, is more than 10 times brighter than any known supernova and has so far lasted more than three years, making it the most energetic explosion on record.

“It went unnoticed for a year as it gradually got brighter,” said Dr Philip Wiseman, an astronomer at Southampton University who led the observations. It was only when follow-up observations revealed how distant it was that astronomers appreciated the event’s almost unimaginable scale.

“We’ve estimated it’s a fireball 100 times the size of the solar system with a brightness about 2tn times the sun’s,” Wiseman said. “In three years, this event has released about 100 times as much energy as the sun will in its 10bn-year lifetime.”"

The flare-up 8 billion light years away. What's the farthest away we can see my tiny lost little voice whispers to me...

Observationally, the evidence that our Universe is expanding is overwhelming: a spectacular validation for Einstein's predictions. But this carries with it a series of consequences for objects separated by cosmic distances, including that the distance between them expands over time. Today, the most distant objects we can see are more than 30 billion light-years away, despite the fact that only 13.8 billion years have passed since the Big Bang.

Umm, ok. Wheels whirring in mind's mysteries. ( Yeah, ok, i'll accept as possibly not a bad lyric. )

Yep, would be super is that energy and or other changes out there could actually change human behavior the way some astrologists actually imagine they could ..

In astrological terms, Jupiter signifies expansion, growth, and coherence – but can also lead to cancerous hypertrophy. Saturn represents the opposite principle, of limitation, structure, and containment, often considered the cruel taskmaster of the zodiac. Together they are like life and death, warp and weft, and their conjunctions signal key moments in the formation of collective reality.

According to historians of astrology, Earth periods like the one we are about to exit focus on materialism, hierarchies, resource acquisition, territory control, and empire stabilization (see the late Roman empire, high middle ages, and industrial capitalism). Astrologers believe that Air periods, by contrast, favor the renovation of hierarchies, decentralization, shifting orders, rapid translation, mass mobility, trade networks, and rampant spirituality. Relevant historical examples that astrologers cite include the rise and fall of Alexander the Great’s empire leading to the network of city-states in the Greek-speaking Hellenistic world (Air period 383-185 BCE), the fall of the Roman empire (Air period 412-610 CE), the division of the Mongol empire after Ghengis Khan’s death, and the plague’s destabilizing effect on feudalism in Europe (Air period 1206-1405). Thematically, Air periods tend to foster information ages that focus on the intellectual, the immaterial, and the ideological – though not necessarily in a peaceful manner.

For mine though i'm thinking that imagining all that is most certainly as out there as the idea that Allah and God and Zeus and the rest of the historical families up there could one day all work together to organize a real nirvana

2a : a place or state of oblivion to care, pain, or external reality
alcohol-induced nirvana
also : bliss, heaven
The resort is a skier's and snowboarder's nirvana.
b: a goal hoped for but apparently unattainable : dream

on earth. Back to reality - lol - this is more concrete:

Earth a basketball. Moon a tennis ball about 30 earths away. Helps to make it all a bit easier to see ..

Thanks for the out there look, which we haven't seen as much since F6 left us .. edit one in ..
