STAR 55 CANCRI
Star 55 Cancri: As one of the many Acrylics On Cement series this painting was created on Thanksgiving Day, 2007. The process includes applying cement to the canvas and then painting acrylics, by feeling, until the image becomes pleasing to the emotional / intuitive senses. Only 12 inches by 9 inches in size, this painting has a powerful impact on the psyche due to its rich colors relative to astronomical content. . . . . . .
The Star 55 Cancri, an extrasolar planet located in the constellation Cancer, is 41 light years from Earth and is about 5-billion years old. The planet is a gas-giant slightly smaller than the mass of Jupiter and whips around the star in 14.6 days at a distance only one-tenth that from Earth to the Sun. On November 13, 2007 an entirely new planet was observed orbiting this star making it the first known planetary quintet outside our own solar system, according to astronomers. This makes the star the second one apart from our sun to have five planets in its system.

Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense have discovered that seals have the ability to recognise stars and groups of stars inside a modified planetarium. A five-metre round pool plus two harbour seals were covered with a dome with 6000 point light sources to simulate the Northern Hemisphere's starry sky. Bjørn Mauck and his team found that if they selected an individual star with a laser pointer, they could train the seals...

We know that the cosmos is ever moving. Is the position of our solar system in our milky way changing? Probably its new position from Dec21, 2012 will cause upheavels on the earth. Incidentally one of the names of the Goddess in Hindu scripture of more than 10,000 years ago is "cause of the movemen

Retrograde or spin-orbit misaligned planets are important for understanding the diversity of planetary systems, and they provide important evidence for assessing current planetary migration models.

We’re so used to thinking about other planets… around other stars… in other galaxies… that it’s difficult to believe the existence of extrasolar planets (”exoplanets”) was unconfirmed until 1992. The first published “discovery” was actually made four years earlier by astronomers Bruce Campbell, G.A. Walker, and S. Yang of a planet orbiting the binary system [...]
