The Astrology of Space - Matrix Software

The Astrology of Space
general, prevent us from seeing more than a few kilo
parsecs in any direction along the galactic plane. If we
could see our galaxy from the vantage point of a
neighboring galaxy, such as Andromeda, the center
would appear filled with light.
Radio and infrared waves are able to bend around the
particles of dust and to reach us. Only in recent years
has it been possible to really "see" the actual center
and structure of our galaxy. The radio maps of the
heavens shown on these pages bring out the basic
shape, body, and "aura" of our galaxy. Our
dependence upon the EYE and optical frequencies
results in an idea of the Heavens as filled with an
infinite number of points of light or stars, but otherwise
relatively empty of form. The stars are "set" in space,
but most of us do not have much sense or feel for the
fabric or matrix in which these stars are set. This
shape becomes clear in radio maps and it is obvious
that the great galaxy is the mother and home of the
countless stars within it. Radio maps reveal that
whole areas of the sky are filled with more light than
others and that this light is graded, with a
concentration toward the galactic plane and, of
course, the galactic nucleus.
Until about 40 years ago, our knowledge of the
cosmos outside the sphere of the Earth came almost
entirely from the light we could collect with large
mirrors and lenses. In fact "light" meant to us the eye
and the visual part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The atmosphere surrounding the Earth is largely
opaque (blocks) to most parts of the electromagnetic
spectrum, although there are several transparent
regions through which we may receive light and thus
"look" out into space. These have been termed
"windows," and the two most important windows are
