“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Glowing, Green Space Blob Forming New Stars, Hubble Shows

Hubble spies a new side of Hanny's Voorwerp

Hanny's Voorwerp—a glowing, green blob in space—is unexpectedly giving birth to stars, a new Hubble Space Telescope picture has revealed.

The odd object was discovered in 2007 by a Dutch schoolteacher participating in Galaxy Zoo—"voorwerp" is Dutch for "object." The online project had public citizens worldwide helping to classify galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey catalog.

Although it's the size of our Milky Way galaxy, Hanny's Voorwerp is not itself a galaxy, but a cloud of gas near the spiral galaxy IC 2497, which lies about 650 million light-years from Earth.

The new Hubble picture—the sharpest yet taken of the brilliant cloud—shows that gas in a small region of Hanny's Voorwerp is collapsing and forming stars, the youngest of which are just a couple million years old.

"The star clusters are localized, confined to an area that is over a few thousand light-years wide," study leader William Keel, of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, said in a press release.

"The region may have been churning out stars for several million years. They are so dim that they have previously been lost in the brilliant light of the surrounding gas."

Hanny's Voorwerp Part of a Galactic Tail

Previous studies looking at radio emissions from Hanny's Voorwerp showed that the blob is part of a rope of gas 300,000 light-years long, which surrounds IC 2497.

Known as a tidal tail, this rope likely formed when the spiral galaxy merged with another galaxy about a billion years ago, Keel said.

Hanny's Voorwerp is the only part of the tail that glows in visible light, because the green cloud was recently doused in radiation from the supermassive black hole at the heart of IC 2497. (Related: "Black Hole Blasts Superheated Early Universe.")

According to Keel, the galactic merger injected a glut of stars and gas into the galaxy's center, spurring the black hole to go on a feeding frenzy. This caused the black hole to begin spewing jets of radiation from its poles.

The active black hole, known as a quasar, not only set Hanny's Voorwerp aflame, it also sent out a streamer of gas that's now interacting with the green blob, triggering star formation.

Astronomers only recently solved the puzzle using x-ray observations, because the quasar is now inactive.

"We just missed catching the quasar, because it turned off no more than 200,000 years ago," Keel said. "So what we're seeing [in Hanny's Voorwerp] is the afterglow from the quasar."

Keel discussed the new Hubble Space Telescope picture of Hanny's Voorwerp today at a press briefing during the 217th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, Washington.
