Have you had your "The-Universe-Is-Awesome" moment today?

[Welles]

After 20 years the Hubble telescope has revisited the famous pillars, capturing the multi-coloured glow of gas clouds, wispy tendrils of dark cosmic dust, and the rust-coloured elephants’ trunks with the newer Wide Field Camera 3, installed in 2009. The visible-light image builds on one of the most iconic astronomy images ever taken and provides astronomers with an even sharper and wider view.

This puts the awe in awesome.

Here is my today's Universe-Is-Awesome moment...

From what I've been self-studying and self-deducing over recent years, this is a birth of a new constellation. What our astronomers call HII regions are in fact constellations under construction.

Worth looking. The very first moments of a new constellation:

When constellations are in the making, HII regions are formed.

And since the closest HII region to our sun is the Orion Nebula, some 1,300 light years away, it is my deduction that that is where Edentia is located.

I could easily spend all day looking at these fabulous photos of the universe. They are so awesomely beautiful and stir my heart with longings to see them first hand. May have to wait a bit for that one, eh? Thank you Roberts for sharing your observations and thoughts on this vastly interesting subject.
love,
Sandy

Hi Robert,

Those links were excellent and your speculation on Edentia's location is a fascinating one. Please keep at it. I'll sit in the bleachers and cheer your efforts!

Here are my findings in brief, all based on 7 sub-revolutions described in UB:

Isle of Paradise: IC1101 (status: speculation, my gut feeling says yes)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_1101

Uversa: Messier 87 (status: confirmed by multiple sources)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_87

U-major the Fifth: Maffei 1 (status: speculation)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maffei_1

U-minor the Third: SgrA* (spiral galaxies are minor sectors, status: speculation, my gut feeling says so)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*

Salvington: Omega Centauri (status: speculation)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Centauri

Center of former Andronover nebula: unknown (most likely a huge open cluster)

Edentia: Orion Nebula - Trapezium (status: highly likely)

Jerusem: somewhere near Alnitak Star (an invisible dark matter body, status: gut feeling)

Robert,

Yes, Welles. I know about that website and I am reading it regularly.

[Sandy]

LoL, Well I hadn't heard of it . Thanks Welles, I could spend all day reading the articles and viewing the photos.
