SC comment:
***** On the Tree of Sephiroth in the Tradition, the Suns shine well for us, just as our Matryoshka Suns shine well, but here, in Vanga's Revelations, we are given an alien solar dissonance.

There are many Suns in Heaven, according to Tradition, both one-star, like ours, and two-star, which more comfortably illuminate the Planets = Sephira. From a distance, the universes, like ours, look like suns. Vanga prophesied about such a Universe, called Andromeda, as a “foreign sun”. Inside a foreign sun there are suns of their own
The End of the World of our Native Sun and the Universal Flights to new, Two-Star Suns, is a worked out, Typical, Karmic Development of any Civilization in its Native Universe, called Svarga's Fiery Soncialism in Tradition.

According to the Revelations of the Tradition, the Alternate Andromedous Cyclone runs into us, - and we, like the entire White Brotherhood of our Universe, will have to fly in our Universe, escaping from the Alien, Alternate Milky Copper Sun along Vanga, which introduces significant Corrections to the Laws of the Universal Golden Path of Fiery Svarga , as already MILKHOMED in the Strategy for the Development of Earth Civilization. At the merger of our Universe and Andromeda, the Fate of Peruns = our Elder Relatives = Colonizers of our Universe awaits us.

This is quite understandable for us, Good Option - to repeat to us the Path of the Dessits - Peruns - our Heavenly Relatives = Colonizers and Sowers of Life in our Universe.

Milky honey. The alien Sun will illuminate the Earth. Wang is back! Secret archive of the soothsayer.

And what will let you know what sijjin (Earth mud) is? The book is written!
After all, the book of the righteous, of course, is in the illiyun (exalted Heaven). And what will let you know what illiyun is? The book is written! (Table with Letters).
Koran, 83:8-20, trans. Karachkovsky I.Yu.

The Fiery Bible = Book in tables in the Quran, following Vanga's Methodology, shows in its Tables that the Heavenly Yijing, which is part of the Vedic Universal Set, teaches Earthlings that all Life on Earth, including Man = Microcosm, contains Genetic Fractals of Two Octaves: Matryoshka and Ecumenical. The Alternate Cyclone of Andromeda = Alien Sun according to Vanga, changing the Vibrations of our Universe, introduces complete Dissonance into our Universal Sephironic Harmonious System and even introduces a partial Dissonance into the Harmonious System of Matryoshka Nature.

“My vision has been repeated many times since 1979. I have watched our solar system revolve around another orange star, and a small Blue star appears from behind the Sun. It looks like a binary solar system with two stars with a complex rotation trajectory. But the Blue Star is the twin star of Sirius, not our Sun. It is visible in the sky of the Earth for 1,800 years in a row, then the Blue Star leaves, disappearing behind the Sun - a new cycle begins.

Scallion learned that there is something similar in the epic of the Hopi Indians. Their prophecies say: "When the dancing Blue Star appears in the sky, the era of the Fifth World will be born. It will begin with the last Great War- the conflict between spirituality and the physical beginning. This material, physical principle will be overthrown by those who remain alive. They will become at the origins of a new unified world with a single power, the power of the Creator."

The silver-blue light of this new star in the morning sky will be ten times brighter than all the stars and planets in the sky, and in the evening it will become like the moon. At night, it can be observed as a bright spot on the Milky Way. Its powerful glow will change the colors of the terrestrial spectrum, and the skin of the peoples of the Earth - of all races - will acquire a bluish tint. The new star will have a decisive influence on the spirituality of man. The soul will be perfected through physical reincarnations and non-material sensations. The Blue Star will change the vibrational field of the Sun and the Earth, and only those whose high spirit can match the new vibrations will be able to survive.

The Maya have similar predictions in other ancient cultures. Both Nostradamus and the German mystic Hildegard wrote about the new star, who predicted that a "great nation" would survive earthquakes, hurricanes and floods caused by a huge comet. Like Hildegard, Scallion believes that after these cataclysms, an era of peace and harmony will come.

SC comment:
***** Not so literate and hasty Prophets, as well as Narrators and Commentators of Prophetic Visions confuse the Light of the Andromedous Cyclone = the Alien Sun according to Vanga, with the Light of the Constellations of Sirius or the Planet Nibiru. Such confusion must be eliminated by clearing the Divine Revelations from illiterate human interpretations.

It is appropriate to say here about the Big Bang. The Big Bang, as such, like a mine or a grenade, is not in the Matryoshka Format. Black Holes Matryoshkas and similar Cyclones, located again on the Material Axis of movement, similar to our Milky Way, "breathe" and do not explode, leaving a void behind them. In the exhaled hole remains the exhaled Explosion Matter. The Exhaled Hole has changed its Properties, but it remains on the Axis of Movement, where the Exhaled Masses return during the Universal contraction into Pralaya.
The Aggregate Light of the Suns, exhaled by the Black Hole, from a distance is combined with the Black Hole into the Single Sun, which shine to us with the Energy and Matter of the Black Hole's Exhalation. In the Revelations there are expressions Dark Sun and Black Sun, as well as God Chernobog in Brahman - and we must understand some of the most important Functions of God Chernobog, both in the Universe, and in the Matryoshka Octave Row and in this Topic.

According to the Holy Scriptures and Revelations of the Tradition, today and now, HARMONICALLY forming Earthly Natural Life, THREE ANCIENT SUNS from the Matryoshka Octave shine for us, according to the above Inscribed Table: Our Native Sun, the Black Hole of our Native Universe and the Black Hole of the Universe. The rest of the Suns from the Matryoshka Row are not yet taken into account by the Divine Mind in the Paradise Plan due to their remoteness. It does not take into account the Physically visible Light, but the Metaphysical, consistent Explosive Okay Harmonic Octave that forms the Aura around our Universal Objective Environment, this Accounting is of paramount importance. Having examined the Inscribed Table with the Scheme of Illumination of the Earth by the Three Suns of Antiquity out of the Seven, those interested in understanding the Divine Providence = Rule Reader = God Seeker should look at the Scheme of the Collision Milky Way and Andromeda, - Alternate Cyclone WITH ITS BLACK HOLE, which is ALIEN, FOURTH SUN according to Vanga, violating our Matryoshka Row. In our Golden Age, we already see this Fourth Sun in the form of a luminous Andromeda, it already shines on us additionally and warms us additionally.

So far, the Fourth Sun, according to Vanga, weakly shines and warms slightly, but with Time, the Alien Sun will, approaching, visually and tangibly grow according to Scallion and bring additional tension to the Paradise Survival Strategy of Earth Civilization. Sugrev will increase - and we, together with the Growing = Adoring White Brotherhood of our Milky Way, headed by the Elder Relatives = Dessits = Peruns, according to the Third Message of KOH, will have to carry out JOINT SURVIVAL ACTIVITIES in the Milky Honey, which, according to the Divine Optimum, should begin on December 21, 2012 years from the Paradise Start in Great Tartaria = Kausaria in Islam. As we can see here, we cannot avoid the Paradise Migratory Program with the Portal Change of Dimension of the Teles of the Terrestrial Animals and the Object Absolute.

These Starting - Migratory Survival Events of the Water, Fiery and All-World Heavenly Savior, according to the Holy Scriptures, should be carried out in Earth Civilization Golden Horde, created by the Creator of the World from the Armies of the Earth Empires, - and we should consider in more detail these Survival Activities of the Golden Horde of the Great Paradise Architect FOR ADAPTIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIGHT of the Alien = the Fourth Sun in the Milky Honey.
Military Power does not remain without Heroic Creativity in Paradise Life…

With the help of this video tutorial, you will be able to independently study the topic "Distribution sunlight and warmth." First, discuss what determines the change of seasons, study the scheme of the annual rotation of the Earth around the Sun, paying special attention to the most remarkable four dates in terms of illumination by the Sun. Then you will find out what determines the distribution of sunlight and heat on the planet and why this happens unevenly.

Rice. 2. Illumination of the Earth by the Sun ()

In winter, the southern hemisphere of the Earth is better illuminated, in summer - the northern one.

Rice. 3. Scheme of the annual rotation of the Earth around the Sun

Solstice (summer solstice and winter solstice) - the times when the height of the Sun above the horizon at noon is greatest (summer solstice, June 22) or least (winter solstice, December 22). In the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. On June 22, in the northern hemisphere, the greatest illumination by the Sun is observed, the day is longer than the night, and the polar day is observed beyond the polar circles. In the southern hemisphere, again, the opposite is true (i.e., all this is typical for December 22).

Arctic Circles (Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle) - the parallels respectively with north and south latitude are about 66.5 degrees. North of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle, polar day (summer) and polar night (winter) are observed. The area from the Arctic Circle to the Pole in both hemispheres is called the Arctic. polar day - the period when the sun at high latitudes around the clock does not fall below the horizon.

polar night - the period when the Sun does not rise above the horizon at high latitudes around the clock - a phenomenon opposite to the polar day, is observed simultaneously with it at the corresponding latitudes of the other hemisphere.

Rice. 4. Scheme of the illumination of the Earth by the Sun by zones ()

Equinox (spring equinox and autumn equinox) - moments when the sun's rays touch both poles, and fall vertically on the equator. The spring equinox occurs on March 21st and the autumnal equinox occurs on September 23rd. These days, both hemispheres are equally lit, the day is equal to the night,

The main reason for the change in air temperature is the change in the angle of incidence sun rays: the more sheer they fall on earth's surface, the better they warm it up.

Rice. 5. The angles of incidence of the sun's rays (at the position of the Sun 2, the rays warm the earth's surface better than at position 1) ()

On June 22, the sun's rays most sheer fall on the northern hemisphere of the Earth, thereby warming it to the greatest extent.

Tropics - The Northern Tropic and the Southern Tropic are parallels, respectively, with northern and southern latitudes of about 23.5 degrees. On one of the days of the solstice, the Sun at noon is above them at its zenith.

The tropics and polar circles divide the Earth into zones of illumination. Belts of illumination - parts of the Earth's surface bounded by the tropics and the polar circles and differing in lighting conditions. The warmest illumination zone is tropical, the coldest is polar.

Rice. 6. Belts of illumination of the Earth ()

The sun is the main luminary, the position of which determines the weather on our planet. The moon and other cosmic bodies have an indirect influence.

Salekhard is located on the line of the Arctic Circle. In this city, an obelisk to the Arctic Circle is installed.

Rice. 7. Obelisk to the Arctic Circle ()

Cities where you can watch the polar night: Murmansk, Norilsk, Monchegorsk, Vorkuta, Severomorsk, etc.

The light of the Sun is one of the most important things on earth. It supports life in every organism on our planet, and without it we simply would not exist. But how does it affect us? And why does the sun shine at all? Let's find out how these processes work.

Another star in the sky

In ancient times, people did not know why the sun shines. But even then they noticed that it appears early in the morning and disappears in the evening, and bright stars come to replace it. He was considered a diurnal deity, a symbol of light, goodness and power. Now science has stepped far forward and the Sun is no longer so mysterious to us. Dozens of websites and books will tell you a lot of details about him, and NASA will even show him pictures from space.

Today we can safely say that the Sun is not some special and unique object, but a star. Just like the thousands of others we see in the night sky. But other stars are very far away from us, so from Earth they seem like tiny lights.

The sun is much closer to us, and its radiance can be seen much better. It is the center of the star system. Planets, comets, asteroids, meteoroids and other space bodies revolve around it. Each object moves in its own orbit. The planet Mercury has the smallest distance to the Sun, the farthest parts of the system have not been explored. One of the distant objects is Sedna, which makes a complete revolution around the star in 3420 years.

Why does the sun shine?

Like all other stars, the Sun is a huge hot ball. It is thought to have formed from the remains of other stars about 4.5 billion years ago. The gas and dust released from them began to compress into a cloud, the temperature and pressure of which constantly increased. Having "warmed up" to about ten million degrees, the cloud turned into a star, which became a giant energy generator.

So why does the sun shine? All this is due to thermonuclear reactions inside it. At the center of our star, hydrogen is continuously converted into helium, under the influence of very high temperature- about 15.7 million degrees. As a result of this process, a huge amount of thermal energy is produced, accompanied by a glow.

Thermonuclear reactions take place only in the solar core. The radiation it produces spreads around the star, forming several outer layers:

  • radiant transfer zone;
  • convective zone;
  • photosphere;
  • chromosphere;
  • crown.

Sunlight

Most of the visible light is produced in the photosphere. This is an opaque shell, which is identified with the surface of the Sun. The temperature in Celsius of the photosphere is 5,000 degrees, but there are also "colder" areas on it, called spots. In the upper shells, the temperature increases again.

Our luminary belongs to the yellow dwarfs. This is far from the oldest and not the largest star in the universe. In its evolution, it has reached about half the way and will live in this state for about another five billion years. Then the Sun will turn into a red giant. And then sheds off the outer shell and becomes a dim dwarf.

The light it emits now is practically white color. But from the surface of our planet, it is visible yellow, as it dissipates and passes through the layers of the earth's atmosphere. close to real color radiation becomes in very clear weather.

Interaction with the Earth

The location of the Earth and the Sun relative to each other is not the same. Our planet is constantly moving around the star in its orbit. It makes a complete revolution in one year or approximately 365 days. During this time, it covers a distance of 940 million kilometers. On the planet itself, movement is not felt, although every hour it passes about 108 kilometers. The consequences of such a journey are manifested on Earth in the form of a change of seasons.

However, the seasons are determined not only by the movement around the Sun, but also by the tilt of the earth's axis. Relative to the orbit, it is inclined by 23.4 degrees, so different parts of the planet are illuminated and warmed by the star in different ways. When the Northern Hemisphere is turned towards the Sun, it is summer there, and in the Southern Hemisphere at the same time it is winter. Six months later, everything changes exactly the opposite.

We often say that the Sun appears during the day. But this is just an expression, because it creates the day for us. Its rays penetrate the atmosphere, illuminating the planet from morning to evening. Their brightness is so strong that we simply do not see the rest of the stars during the day. At night, the Sun does not stop shining, it's just that the Earth turns to it first one side, then the other, because it rotates not only in orbit, but also around its own axis. It makes a full rotation in 24 hours. On the side turned to the star - day, on the opposite side - night, every 12 hours they change.

Irreplaceable Energy

From our planet, the distance to the Sun is 8.31 light years, or 1.496 10 8 kilometers, which is quite enough for the existence of life. A closer location would make the Earth look like a lifeless Venus or Mercury. However, in a billion years the star should become 10% hotter, and in another 2.5 billion years it will be able to literally dry up all life on the planet.

At present, the temperature of the sun suits us perfectly. Thanks to this, a huge variety of life forms appeared on our planet, ranging from plants and bacteria to humans. They all need sunlight and warmth, and will easily die if left unattended for a long time. The light of the star promotes plant photosynthesis, which produces vital oxygen. Its ultraviolet radiation enhances the functioning of the immune system, promotes the production of vitamin D, and helps to self-purify the atmosphere from harmful substances.

Uneven heating of the Earth by the Sun creates motion air masses which, in turn, creates the climate and weather on the planet. Light from a star affects the establishment of circadian rhythms in living organisms. That is, a strict dependence of their activity on the change of time of day is developed. So, some animals are active only during the day, others only at night.

Sun observation

Among the star systems closest to us, the Sun is not the brightest. It occupies only the fourth place in this indicator. For example, the star Sirius, which is perfectly visible in the night sky, surpasses it in brightness by as much as 22 times.

Despite this, we cannot look at the Sun with the naked eye. It is too close to the Earth and to observe it without special devices detrimental to vision. For us, it is about 400 thousand times brighter than the light reflected by the moon. We can look at it with the naked eye only at sunset and dawn, when its angle is small and the luminosity drops by a thousand times.

The rest of the time, to see the Sun, you need to use special solar telescopes or light filters. If at the same time we project the image onto a white screen, then it is possible to see spots and flashes on our star even with non-professional equipment. But this must be done carefully so as not to damage it.

So, the Moon is at a distance from 50x114=6000 km to 260x114=30000 km. Actually, the Sun too, so consider how it illuminates the entire earth. (By the way, why is the sun at different heights at different latitudes? If it is close, it’s understandable that the viewing angle changes. And an extra thousand kilometers does not affect the solar parallax in the official model.)

High-quality picture, built on the wrong assumption that the Sun (Moon) is at a distance of 2050 km:
cosZ=6371/8420=0.757, Z=41°

In reality, the Z angle is between 60° and 80°.

It would seem that the Sun moves in a spiral from the North Pole to the South with a coverage of 157 °, leaving 23 ° for the Arctic Circle: in the north - polar day, and in the south - polar night. But as soon as the Sun drops a little to the south, the North Pole will be in eternal darkness.

To cover all 180 °, you cannot do without auxiliary luminaries.

And here it would be appropriate to recall the legend of the three moons.

So, the Sun always spirals up/down over the equator by 23°, covering 134° (Z=67°).
cosZ=6371/(6371+H)=0.2924 and H=9936 km (with a solar diameter of 90 km and a sphere radius of 16300 km).

And over the North and south poles two small luminaries hang, illuminating, if necessary, dead zones, depicting the sun in summer, and the moon in winter.
The maximum coverage angle of the small star is 23° (another 23° fall on the polar night).
6371/cos(11.5°)=6371/ 0.9799=6502 km, i.e. the maximum height is 130 km with a diameter of 1.5 km.

But in most cases, the luminary has to cover a smaller area, so it descends and increases its angular size. Or it is smaller and reduces the angular size, rising. Therefore, the following parameters seem to be real: height in the region of 100 km, diameter in the region of 1 km.

If there are several luminaries, then failures should occur. And several suns have been repeatedly observed:

Parhelion (from steam... and Greek hylios - sun) (false sun) - one of the halo forms, in which one or more additional images of the Sun are observed in the sky. It arises due to the refraction of sunlight in anisotropically oriented ice particles falling in the atmosphere. The Tale of Igor's Campaign mentions that before the offensive of the Polovtsians and the capture of Igor, "four suns shone over the Russian land." The warriors took this as a sign of impending big trouble.

Sometimes you can see several suns in the sky. In fact, this is the effect of millions of lenses: ice crystals. As the water freezes in upper layers atmosphere, creates small, flat, hexagonal ice crystals of ice. The planes of these crystals, circling, gradually descend to the ground, most of the time they are oriented parallel to the surface. At sunrise or sunset, the observer's line of sight can pass through this very plane, and each crystal can behave like a miniature lens that refracts sunlight. The combined effect results in a phenomenon called parhelion, or false sun.

Like everything else, the proposed lighting scheme has drawn criticism on the Internet. Moreover, it is not at all possible to achieve an understanding that it is she who explains the observed phenomena. For example, the height of the Sun at noon depending on the latitude.
Let's look at a simple model:
A pyramid of decreasing radius cylinders rotates counterclockwise and is illuminated by a parallel beam of sunlight (red arrows) perpendicular to the edges of the pyramids.
The right edge of each cylinder corresponds to the position of the sun at its zenith at noon.
As it is easy to understand, with any movement up and down along this edge, nothing in the position of the Sun above the observer's head on the edge changes.
And it does not change on any of the cylinders.
And there is no difference between the upper and lower cylinders.
And now we will begin to increase the number of cylinders, proportionally reducing their height and radius.
The limit of such an operation is a hemisphere.
Let's add the same lower part - and our earth ball will turn out. For those who do not understand mathematics, but worked in Photoshop: if the photo of the Earth is greatly enlarged, then the circle will turn into a set of rectangular pixels - otherwise you cannot depict it by machine.

Conclusion: on the entire globe, the Sun should be at its zenith at noon.

But how do we see in reality: the higher the latitude, the lower the Sun above the horizon?
Let's conduct a thought experiment: fix the Sun on the right side of the lower arrow and draw blue arrows from this point to each cylinder (if it's difficult, write to the conference and I'll draw them).
For a blue cylinder, the blue arrow will match the red one. For yellow it will be already with a slope, and for green it will be with a large slope.
This is how the earth is illuminated.

How did we manage to deceive?

It's simple: we see a small Sun above our head and draw lines from it in our drawings: to the left and to the right. But in fact, it is not small, but very large. And there is no left and right of the Sun: both to the left and to the right there is a stream of parallel rays down on us. We are knocked down by a children's drawing "Let there always be sunshine!". Already in childhood, this image firmly enters the consciousness and it is impossible to knock it out with any drawings and formulas. If the meme doesn't match, it's rejected. This is an axiom of psychology.

Gentlemen, tear off the blinders hung on you since childhood. Know that everything is a lie!

It’s a pity that it didn’t work out, but it seemed to me that this was a good seed for a conversation about how the sense organs relate to the surrounding reality. The pyramid can be considered as a joke in which there is some truth. The pyramid paradox was quickly figured out on the forum: http://falsehood.my1.ru/forum/2-6-1
An attempt to push for further discussion failed. But there is something to be said here.

What prevents the proposed model? The force of gravity that is directed away from the center of the earth. Formally, this is discussed in the next section, but it is clear what we have done, especially if you have already read the entire text. Here we have built a model in which the Earth is surrounded by a protective sphere. But those who are able to build such a huge Earth may well build something else that is not entirely clear to us. For example, the force of attraction acts from the side of the rod on which the cylinders are mounted (several schemes can be proposed for how this force remains constant when the radius decreases). Then the paradox is removed. Anywhere the observer will be perpendicular to the axis of rotation, even at the pole. Well, why not a model? By the way, it can well explain why the Earth is a geoid, and not a ball (in terms of conservation of gravity along the rod). Doesn't this remind you of some children's fairy tales with friction on the axis of rotation (where it's always cold)? Maybe the axis of rotation is not an abstraction at all, but a real thing?

The word of the Metropolitan of Ryazan and Mikhailovsky Mark on the day of memory of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, on the Day of the Baptism of Rus'.

“In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The life of every person, dear brothers and sisters, is a constant choice. The choice between big and small, between significant and insignificant, the choice between good and evil, one faith and another. And each of us throughout his life makes this choice, being responsible primarily for himself, or for his children.

Each person, either himself, from those standing here, came to the temple and accepted holy baptism, or our parents made this choice for us, and then we established ourselves in this parental choice. Today we celebrate the day of remembrance of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, who made the choice of faith on the scale of our entire land, all of our people.

He saw the vanity and emptiness of the pagan faith and realized that this is something primitive, something that does not reflect the depth human nature. And with all his soul, Prince Vladimir clung to Christ. He chose the faith himself, and he made the choice for our entire land. And it happened not violently, but calmly. He said: if someone loves me, if someone considers me his friend, come to the Dnieper to be baptized. And everyone who loved their prince, who trusted his choice, followed him to the Dnieper. That's how it happened historical Baptism Rus'.

Today, during the divine service, we heard the message of the Apostle Paul, which spoke of how Paul first persecuted the Church of God, and then converted and became a chosen vessel of God's grace, a faithful disciple of the Savior. Something similar happened to Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir. He was not a minister of any faith, he was rather a supporter of a cheerful, wide, wild life. But then, when he made his choice, when he accepted Christ into his heart, when he was baptized, then his life changed completely.

A reflection of this change is the people's love for Prince Vladimir, whom people called Vladimir the Red Sun. And today we are all still basking in the rays of this sun, which overshadowed and illuminated the entire Russian land with the light of the Gospel. Today we glorify his memory - the memory of the man whom the Church recognized and called equal to the holy apostles.

We honor his memory and pray that through his prayers the Lord will confirm our people, our land, our Fatherland in Orthodoxy. So that the choice that he made at the end of the first millennium would remain adamant until the end of the century. Amen".
