The Galactic Core Dear Readers: For the Sun's next trick, it makes an opposition to the Galactic Core. the GC is at about 27 degrees Sagittarius. The Sun is now in the sign Gemini, so in the Northern Hemisphere at night, the Earth's surface, looking more or less straight up, is pointed in the direction of Sagittarius and thus the Galactic Core. This is why in the Northern Hemisphere we can see the streak of stars of the Milky Way across the sky. We are looking inward toward the center of our spiral galaxy. Over the next few days, the Sun aligns exactly with the core. I would rather not make any predictions -- just suggest that we be aware of this fact while observing the news, our private lives and our inner world. At the moment, the Galactic Core is one thing they all have in common. Eric F. Montreal PS: We've been adding photos to the gallery every day; a bunch of new ones, mostly ocean views of St Malo in the north of France, were added this morning.
