Universe may have billions more stars
Astronomers have underestimated the number of galaxies in parts of the Universe by as much as 90 per cent, according to a study, suggesting billions of stars are yet to be recorded.

Map-makers may have missed the galaxies because surveys of the cosmos are based on a reading of ultraviolet light.

The study by scientists at the University of Geneva observatory, reported in the journal, Nature, says the survey method is a poor indicator of distant galaxies because the light can be blocked by clouds of dust and gas.

Matthew Hayes, who led the study, said: “Astronomers always knew they were missing some fraction of the galaxies ... but for the first time we now have a measurement. The number of missed galaxies is substantial.

"If there are 10 galaxies seen, there could be a hundred there.”

His team compared used the world's most advanced optical instrument, Europe's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, which has four 8.2-metre (26.65-feet) behemoths – to study the universe using two different methods.

They searched using the traditional Lyman-alpha test, named after its US discoverer, Theodore Lyman. Lyman-alpha is light released by hydrogen atoms.

Then they searched for light on different wavelength and found many more sources of energy – indicating distant galaxies – that had not been spotted using the traditional technique.

The study concluded that as much as 90 per cent of such distant galaxies may go unseen in traditional exercises.

Since galaxies are made up of plasma this is just another way of saying "oops maybe we were wrong and there ARE things our optical telescopes can't see". If light can be deflected or absorbed by plasmas dusty or otherwise and stop us from being able to see them then astronomy is virtually useless on it's own in order to view certain plasma/dusty "clouds" in space.

If the plasma in our solar system is capable of blocking or absorbing light then it would start to block the light from stars that are behind it. To quote the new Dr. Who series "The darkness is coming"?. Another interesting bit of info. Usually I don't take much notice of prophecies and such but how did this monk know we have a nebulous/plasma cloud coming to Earth, centuries ago??

Monk Johannes Friede was an Austrian Monk – one of his prophesies :- When the great time will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard trial, it will be foreshadowed by striking changes in nature.The alernation between cold and heat will become more intensive, storms will have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy greater regions and the seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowls of the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling with its own existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their design, the universe will be thrown into discorder, and the age of iron will plunge into nothingness.



"When the great time will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard trial, it will be foreshadowed by striking changes in nature; the alteration between cold and heat will become more intensive, storms will have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy greater regions and the seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural causes, but man will penetrate into the bowels of the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling with its own existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their design, the universe will be thrown into disorder, and the age of iron will plunge into nothingness. When the nights will be filled with more intensive cold and the day with heat, a new life will begin in nature. The heat means radiation from the earth, the cold the waning light of the sun. Only a few more years and you will become aware that sunlight has become perceptibly weaker. When even your artificial light will cease to give service, the great event of the firmament will be near.



"The nebula of the Greater Bear will arrive in the vicinity of earth... and will fill the space of five hundred suns at the horizon. It will more and more cover up the light of the sun until the days will be like nights at full moon. The illumination will not come from the moon, but from Orion, which constellation, by the light of Jupiter, will send forth its rays on the Greater Bear and will dissolve its nebula with the force of light.



"By this time mankind will be stricken with terror. Birds will be like reptiles and will not use their wings. Animals of the ground, in fear and alarm, will raise such a clamor that it will make human hearts tremble. Men will flee their abodes in order not to see the weird occurrence. Finally, complete darkness will set in and last for three days and three nights.



"During this time, men, deprived of the power of light, will fall into a slumber-like sleep from which many will not awaken, especially those who have no spark of spiritual life. When the sun will again rise and emerge, earth will be covered with a blanket of ashes like snow in winter, except that the ashes will have the color of sulfur. Damp fog will ascend from the ground, illuminated by igneous gases.



"Of mankind there will be more dead than there have been casualties in all wars. In the abodes of the children of light, the Book of Revelations will be read, and in the palaces of the Church they will await the arrival of the great comet. On the seventh day after the return of light, earth will have absorbed the ashes and formed such a fertility as has not been experienced ever before. But Orion will cast its ray on the earth and show a path toward the last resting place of the greatest and most eminent man who had ever lived on the earth. The survivors will proclaim his ancient doctrine in peace and will institute the millennium, announced by the Messiah in the light of true brotherly and sisterly love for the glory of the Creator and for the blessedness of all mankind."

From the north or from SEPTENTRIONES.

Seven stars outline what we call THE LITTLE DIPPER. In the Preview of the Pre-Trib Rapture, Rev. 16 says, "And he had in his right hand SEVEN STARS." The seven stars are called SEPTENTRIONES (THE SEVEN WHICH TURN), which in Latin means NORTH.


The constellation of Ursa Major (Great Bear)

The Latin for Great Bear is Ursa Major. This is what astronomers call the constellation.

So all references which say from the North in the visions and prophecies of those people could mean from SEPTENTRIONES.
