Mysteries of Space LaurinEttel
Sirius • Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. • Sirius appears bright due to both its intrinsic luminosity and its closeness to the Earth. • Sirius is about twice as massive as the Sun. • The rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the 'Dog Days' of summer for the Ancient Greeks, while to the Polynesians it marked winter and was an important star for navigation around the Pacific Ocean.
Planet Tiamat • Tiamat supposedly existed between Mars and Jupiter. • Tiamat is known as the missing fifth Planet from the Sun, in the place of which lies the Great Band, the debris of an enormous planet which the Sumerians knew as Tiamat.
Nibiru • To the Babylonians, Nibiru was the celestial body or region sometimes associated with the god Marduk. • It is claimed Nibiru was the home of a technologically advanced human-like alien race, the Anunnaki, who apparently visited Earth in search of gold. These beings eventually created humanity by genetically crossing themselves with extant primates, and thus became the first gods.
Hercolubus • A planet known to the ancients as Hercolubus, which purportedly came dangerously close to earth in the past, destroying Atlantis. Lilith In 1918, astrologer Walter Gornold claimed to have confirmed the existence of a second moon. He named it Lilith and affirmed that it was indeed invisible for most of the time but claimed to have viewed it as it crossed the sun. In modern Western astrology, Lilith is not an actual moon, but is a blank focus of the ellipse described by the moon's orbit. The moon's hypothetical apogee point is known as the "Dark Moon" Lilith. It is said to signify instinctive and emotional intelligence in astrological charts.
Rizq • An extrasolar planet in a trinary star system believed by the followers of the Nuwaubian doctrine espoused by self-described contactee Dwight York to have been the homeworld of the AnunaqiEloheem, who came to Earth and played a role in the creation of humans.
