Sun Has Binary Partner, May Affect The Earth

Sun Has Binary Partner, May Affect The Earth<br><br>While the findings in Lost Star are controversial, astronomers now agree that most stars are likely part of a binary or multiple star system. <br><br>Los Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 14, 2005<br><br><br>The ground-breaking and richly illustrated new book, Lost Star of Myth and Time, marries modern astronomical theory with ancient star lore to make a compelling case for the profound influence on our planet of a companion star to the sun.<br><br>Author and theorist, Walter Cruttenden, presents the evidence that this binary orbit relationship may be the cause of a vast cycle causing the Dark and Golden Ages common in the lore of ancient cultures.<br><br>Researching archaeological and astronomical data at the unique think tank, the Binary Research Institute, Cruttenden concludes that the movement of the solar system plays a more important role in life than people realize, and he challenges some preconceived notions:<br><br>The phenomenon known as the precession of the equinox, fabled as a marker of time by ancient peoples, is not due to a local wobbling of the Earth as modern theory portends, but to the solar system's gentle curve through space.<br><br>This movement of the solar system occurs because the Sun has a companion star; both stars orbit a common center of gravity, as is typical of most double star systems. The grand cycle–the time it takes to complete one orbit––is called a "Great Year," a term coined by Plato.<br><br>Cruttenden explains the affect on earth with an analogy: "Just as the spinning motion of the earth causes the cycle of day and night, and just as the orbital motion of the earth around the sun causes the cycle of the seasons, so too does the binary motion cause a cycle of rising and falling ages over long periods of time, due to increasing and decreasing electromagnet effects generated by our sun and other nearby stars."<br><br>While the findings in Lost Star are controversial, astronomers now agree that most stars are likely part of a binary or multiple star system. Dr. Richard A. Muller, professor of physics at UC Berkeley and research physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is an early proponent of a companion star to our sun; he prefers a 26 million year orbit period. Cruttenden uses 24,000 years and says the change in angular direction can be seen in the precession of the equinox.<br><br>Lost Star of Myth and Time expands on the author's award-winning PBS documentary film "The Great Year," narrated by actor James Earl Jones. The book brings intriguing new evidence to the theory of our binary companion star and an age old mystery – the precession of the equinox.<br><br>Title: Lost Star of Myth and Time<br>Pub Date: October, 2005<br>ISBN: 0-9767631-1-7<br>Author: Walter Cruttenden<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.spacedaily.com/news/extrasolar-05zt.html">www.spacedaily.com/news/e...-05zt.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

does the binary motion cause a rising and falling of ages over long periods of time, due to increasing and decreasing electromagnet[sic] effects generated by our sun and other nearby stars".<br><br>it 'causes' a few other effects too.<br><br>might want to shorten that '24,000 years' a tad.<br><br>take your time boys, no rush.<br> <p></p><i></i>

The precession of the equinox has its basis in astrological teachings, as well. We have just entered the Age of Aquarius (hear that music from "Hair"?) which portends major changes from the outgoing Age of Pisces, approximately 2000 years, and the Age of Aries (read "war" and the growing dominance of the patriarchal society) of the previous 2000.<br><br>There is plenty of reading material on this, too, that supports the article above, in a parallel fashion. --MaryK <p></p><i></i>

Where is this star? I'd think we'd notice it. Even at a 26,000 year orbit, the apparent motion of that star would be far greater than others, wouldn't it? And it must be a visible star...where would it hide? Which one is it? Interesting theory. <p></p><i></i>

Planet X! Supposedly only visible from the poles in its current orbit. <p></p><i></i>

14-Sep-2005: The detection of a super massive black hole without a massive host galaxy is the surprising result from a large Hubble and VLT study of quasars. This is the first convincing discovery of such an object. One intriguing explanation is that the host galaxy may be made almost exclusively of dark matter. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/html/heic0511.html">www.spacetelescope.org/ne...c0511.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

The theory is that there may be such black holes at the center of most galaxies. I personally wonder if "dark matter" and "dark energy" or going to become tomorrow's "ether"...explanatory entities used to fill in embarrassing gaps between theory and reality. <p></p><i></i>

all those astro-charts are to be made redundant with this new find! <p></p><i></i>
