Themajorasteroids in astrology are: Ceres, Pallas, Juno & Vesta.
Ceres:was the first asteroid ever to be found. Ceres represents the process of nuturing and the motherhood in an individual’s chart. Due to that it is seen as the co-ruler of the moon.
In a chart Ceres aspect may indicate with being able to nurture to being nutured by others. Also the feeling of rejection by people.
Pallas:was the second asteroid ever to be found. It represents wisdom of the female spirit.
In a chart Pallas uses the creative side of us mentally. It is also insolved with the arts.
Juno:was the third asteroid ever to be found. Pallas represents partnerning energy of a intimate relationship.
Where Juno is in the chart: jealousy, where boundries are, how much sharing, and intimacy needs are important to this person.
Vesta:the last four of the major asteroids. Vesta are the brightest of the four asteroids, next to that she is one of the sisters of Jupiter & Juno. Vesta chose to not marry and stay virgin. It is insolved with Scorpio & Virgo.
In the chart of an individual Vesta indicates sexual issues. Also might be issues with sexuality, and/or singleness.
*Houses and sign may indicate the area of life where these issues will happen.
NASA Goldstone Asteroid Radar: Images of near-Earth asteroid 2003 SD220, taken December 15-19, 2018. I really hope these don’t trigger Tumblr’s new content killbots, because this is one of the more… suggestive asteroids I’ve seen. (I have a theory that this is how Skynet starts: An overzealous content filtering AI decides that the best way to stop NSFW stuff once and for all is to wipe out humanity.)
What happened to the dinosaurs when an asteroid about six miles wide struck Earth some 66 million years ago in what is today Mexico is well known: It wiped them out. But the exact fate of our planet’s diverse ocean dwellers at the time, shelly ammonites, giant mosasaurs and other sea creatures, has not been as well understood.
New research now makes the case that the same incident that helped bring an end to the reign of the dinosaurs also acidified the planet’s oceans, disrupted the food chain that sustained life underwater and resulted in a mass extinction. The study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, aims to shore up the hypothesis that the Chicxulub event’s destruction of marine life, the result of sulfur-rich rocks depositing acid rain into the oceans, was just as severe as the fire and fury it brought to land.
“It’s flash acidification, and it transformed ecosystems for millions of years,” said Noah Planavsky, a biogeochemist at Yale and one of the study’s authors. “We were shocked that we actually found this.”
The impact of the Chicxulub asteroid, so named for the crater it carved out around the Gulf of Mexico, sent columns of rock into Earth’s atmosphere, incinerated the planet’s forests and drove tsunamis far across the oceans. But the connection between the crash and the marine extinction has been less solid.
The Science Of Why An Asteroid, Not A Comet, Wiped Out The Dinosaurs
“The most important thing is that we all learn what the correct scientific conclusion to draw is, and why. The impact event that occurred 66 million years ago was due to an asteroid, not a comet. We know this based on many reasons, including the very compelling chemical composition of the impactor, retrieved from Chicxulub crater and matched up with the layer of ash and clay found worldwide at the appropriate depth within sedimentary rock. A comet simply has the wrong properties, and the earlier study that claimed otherwise wasn’t just in error, but contained a series of unacceptably gross errors that should have resulted in the paper’s rejection.
The larger ethical issue, however, remains unresolved. What do we do about scientists who are so full of themselves that they willfully barge into a field they have no expertise in, and rather than work to gain that expertise and contribute meaningfully, they simply publish a superficial analysis to further their own fame and careers? This sort of practice must be discouraged, the same way we discourage those with no scientific expertise from contributing nonsense: through quality peer review. The alternative is to play an unwinnable game: scientific understanding by debate and public opinion. In the enterprise of science, it must always be facts and evidence, not persuaded minds, that carry the day.”
Did you read, back in February, that a comet, not an asteroid, wiped out the dinosaurs?
This giant crater in the Arizona desert is creatively named Meteor Crater. It is 1200 metres wide and around 170 metres deep. 50,000 years ago this 40 metre wide asteroid struck what would have been a damp grassland with ten times the speed of a bullet.
