Article 67 - Jupiter Rising

"Fallin.. A-Way...YAH!"



"Falling Away" - by Jupiter Rising (album: The Quiet Hype - 3.17.2009)

There's really nothing I can really say but...
WoW!

The above video is a perfect synchromystic floW from SHAMAN's Jeus (Juice) article and the comments (and sooo much more)

Well Done Mr. President - Updates (8) - the best update yet!

Orignal posting: 1.27.2010 @ 22:22 (10:22 pm)




What else can I say but..

"Well Done,

Well Done!"

A masterful oration in the spirit of Lincoln and Kennedy...

SIDE NOTE(s):
"For two hundred and twenty years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty."
George Washington gave the first State of the Union address on January 8, 1790 in New York City - which was the provisional U.S. capital in 1790.


For the Synchro-magicians... add the end time:
22 + 20 = 42
ABE L / Jupiter

and in the JULIAN calendar Today (Gregorian: 1/27/2010)
is 1.14.2010
2 weeks of 7 days into the Julian year.

To complement the sync and semiotics:
in the Catholic feast calendar, today (Gregorian: 1/27) is the feastday of both
Saint JULIAN of le Mans and Saint JULIAN of Sora.

In the Egyptian it is the month of Tybi / Tobe (TB).
Specifically the 19th / 20th of Tybi.
The Netjer of the month is MIN
and synchro-magically in keeping with the Temple of BAST discovery explored @ the Synch Whole,
the feastday today is Bast going forth from Bubastis.
(cat/tiger)
It is also the first Peret - the growing season of the Nile,
Festival of the Coronation of the Sacred Falcon at Edfu
and the Festival of MIN both fall in this Peret.


If you've been paying attention,
You'll have noticed the 1 9 echoed throughout the Address.
1.27 = 1.2+7 = 1.9
19 also hints at the Enneade Caeteris / Metonic cycle.

as of 1/27/2010 it is 15 days since the Haiti EQ and 15 days until the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.

And for the Obama photo above taken today,
'let us count the RAys'...
22 in total but each in 2 segments (of 11)







Update I:
In sync with something sure to tickle Chris Knowles @ The Secret Sun and the synch-masters @ the Synch Whole...
The Wikipedia page on Apollo 1 tells us...
"Apollo 1 is the official name that was retroactively assigned to the never-flown Apollo/Saturn 204 (AS-204) mission. Its command module (CM-012) was destroyed by fire during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967, at Pad 34 (Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral, then known as Cape Kennedy) atop a Saturn IB rocket. The crew aboard were the astronauts selected for the first manned Apollo program mission: Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee. All died in the fire."




And in other NEWS:
today saw APPLE announcing the APPLE (APE L / AbE L) iPad / ibad using the Jake Kotze Spinners/Reflections










UPDATE 2:

and here's some interesting exploration of the actual wording...

State of the Union Address quote:
"It’s tempting to look back on these moments and assume that our progress was inevitable – that America was always destined to succeed. But when the Union was turned back at Bull Run and the Allies first landed at Omaha Beach, victory was very much in doubt. When the market crashed on Black Tuesday and civil rights marchers were beaten on Bloody Sunday, the future was anything but certain. These were times that tested the courage of our convictions, and the strength of our union. And despite all our divisions and disagreements; our hesitations and our fears; America prevailed because we chose to move forward as one nation, and one people.

Again, we are tested. And again, we must answer history’s call."


2.7 or 7.2 (JulyAN = July 1 14 = July 15 but is Friday July 2,2010 or 7.2.2010 in the JULIAN calendar)

it is 156 days or 22 weeks from 1.27.2010 - 7.2.2010
5 months 5 days
156 days can be converted to one of these units:
13,478,400 seconds
224,640 minutes
3744 hours
22 weeks

Interesting that there's a Historical Event which resonates with both the mention of OMAHA BEACH and 19 and 27

"The July Revolt of 1927 on Wikipedia"
- "...More than 600 people were injured..."
During the Austrian July Revolt of 1927 (also known as Black Friday), 84 protesters were killed by Austrian police forces[1], while four policemen died, on July 15, 1927. More than 600 people were injured.

The clash was the result of conflict between the Social Democrats and an alliance including wealthy industrialists and the Roman Catholic Church in Austria. Both paramilitary forces had been created during the 1920s, namely the right-wing Heimwehr in 1921-1923 and the left-wing Republikanischer Schutzbund in 1923.

A clash between those groups in Schattendorf, Burgenland, on January 30, 1927 resulted in the death of a man and a child. Right-wing veterans were indicted for those deaths at a court in Vienna in July, but acquitted in a jury trial. This led to a general strike which had the aim of bringing down the government headed by Chancellor Ignaz Seipel. Massive protests resulted in a fire at the Justizpalast in Vienna. Police minister Johann Schober attempted to suppress the protests with force, which resulted in 84 deaths.


and then we also have the mention of BULL RUN...
The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the First Battle of Manassas (the name used by Confederate forces and still often used in the Southern United States), was fought July 21, 1861, near Manassas, Virginia. It was the first major land battle of the American Civil War.


2 JULY's...
2 "7's"
We can easily shift July 21 into 7.2.10
and the goddess VICTORY is also the VIRGO / VIRGIN(ia).


(recall - 15 days since the Haiti EQ and 15 days until the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games)



1965 USA Bloody Sunday:
The first march took place on March 7, 1965 — "Bloody Sunday" — when 600 civil rights marchers were attacked by state and local police with billy clubs and tear gas.

(600 attacked)


and then we also have the Irish BLOODY SUNDAY of the same name (made famous in the song by U2) which occured in
1972

1+9 = 10
10. 7. 2



ALL coincidence you think?
Think again...


and later in the SUA:
Throughout our history, no issue has united this country more than our security. Sadly, some of the unity we felt after 9/11 has dissipated. We can argue all we want about who’s to blame for this, but I am not interested in re-litigating the past. I know that all of us love this country. All of us are committed to its defense. So let’s put aside the schoolyard taunts about who is tough. Let’s reject the false choice between protecting our people and upholding our values. Let’s leave behind the fear and division, and do what it takes to defend our nation and forge a more hopeful future – for America and the world.

King St. reopens after glass falls 27 floors
Published On Thu Jan 28 2010 -
A block of the Financial District has reopened following a five-hour closure after window panes fell 27 floors from a King Street skyscraper this afternoon, littering the ground below with shattered glass.

Pieces of glass from three giant window panes fell from the Royal Trust Tower at 77 King St. W., next to the TD Canada Trust building, this morning after a piece of wood slammed into the 27th and 28th floors at around 8 a.m., police said.

The wood swung from construction on the north side of the First Canadian Place building across the street, said Sgt. Nancy Van Veghel.

Van Veghel said shards of glass and debris fell from the skyscraper throughout the morning as construction workers replaced the broken windows. Pedestrians and traffic were still moving on the streets below until King Street was closed at around 11 a.m. between York and Bay streets.

The street was reopened at 3:45 p.m.

Strong gusts of wind that caused the scaffolding to crash into the windows also made the area more hazardous, said Staff Sgt. John Boyce of 52 division. He said the windows are about 10-feet-tall and 5-feet-wide.

Glass was falling around us while we were here and shattered near our feet,” Van Veghel said, while at the scene. She said all she could hear was “just a loud, loud crash.

“It was only about 10 feet from us, and I don’t think it was a huge piece, but we realized we had to completely shut this down immediately.”

Offices and businesses in the area did not close down or evacuate employees.

The 504 King streetcar was re-routed but regular service has now resumed.

UPDATE 5:

Some more State of the Union QUOTEs:
Talk to the small business in Phoenix that will triple its workforce because of the Recovery Act. 

Talk to the window manufacturer in Philadelphia who said he used to be skeptical about the Recovery Act, until he had to add two more work shifts just because of the business it created. 

"These struggles are what I’ve witnessed for years in places like Elkhart, Indiana and Galesburg, Illinois.


And Wikipedia on Elkhart, Indiana tells us...
Elkhart (pronounced /ˈɛlkɑrt/) is a city in Elkhart County, Indiana, United States. The city is located 15 miles (24 km) east of South Bend, 110 miles (180 km) east of Chicago, and 150 miles (240 km) north of Indianapolis.
Elkhart is located on The Indiana Toll Road (Interstates 80/90) at exits 92 and 96 and on the eastern portion of the St. Joseph Valley Parkway (U.S. Route 20) which by-passes the southern side of the city. State Road 19 runs through the city while U.S. Route 33 and State Road 120 terminate in the city. U.S. 33 used to run through the city and that route was part of the original Lincoln Highway.

And Wikipedia on Galesburg, Illinoistells us...
"According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 17.1 square miles (44 km2)"

Galesburg was founded by George Washington Gale, a Presbyterian minister from New York state, who dreamed of establishing a manual labor college which became Knox College

The city was the site of the fifth Lincoln-Douglas debate


Throughout the State of the Union Address we have the President mentioning...

Phoenix (33°26′54″N 112°05′47″W) (I-17 and plenty of Presidents!)

Philadelphia (40°00′00″N 75°10′12″W) - (N. 24th St at W. Indiana Ave)

Elkhart, Indiana (41°40′59″N)
Galesburg, Illinois (40°57′8″N)

Allentown, Pennsylvania (40°36′06″N)
Elyria, Ohio (41°22′24″N)

** All of the towns mentioned fall between 40° North and 41°41' North...

and if we use the "two P" (P=16=7, PP=77, two 7, 27)
greek-named cities that were both mentioned without their states as our source for Lat and Long...
PHOENIX (W) and PHILADELPHIA (N)

We end up just south of I-80 (I-80 = "Haiti" spoken with the Creole accent) in UTAH almost on the doorstep of the infamous
DUGWAY Proving Ground !

UPDATE 6:

(recall - "Bloody SUNday" by u2 mentioned above)

UTAH = u2 = UTU
You-TAH
OO-TAH
OO-TUH

From Wikipedia on the Sumerian God UTU

"Utu ("Utu, who sheds a wide light, day) is the Sumerian for "Sun".



Interesting note:
(recall - OBAMA RA Hor-Eye-Zone sunrise with the 22 segments 11 (x2) picture above and also Obama mentioning '220' in the State of the Union Address)
if Dugway PG is, as many believe, the "NEW AREA 51",
February 20 is both 2.20 and the 51st Day of the year.
(in 2011 February 20 will fall on SUNday)


February 20 is also the date of the Station Night Club Fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island in 2003. Of the 440 identified patrons 100 lost their lives including Ty Longley - the lead guitarist of the band "Great White".







UPDATE 7:
"For two hundred and twenty years"
------
MadameSpeakerVicePresidentBidenMembersofCongressdistinguishedguestsandfellowAmericans:OurConstitutiondeclaresthatfromtimetotimethePresidentshallgivetoCongressinformationaboutthestateofourunion.Fortwohundredandtwentyyears

-------
The line above is directly from the Official distribution copy of the 2010 State of the Union Address except that I have removed the whitespaces and commas.

There are exactly 220 characters from the first "M" of the text to the final "s" of "two hundred and twenty years"

There are 13 words from the first "M" to the first ":"

There's 330 commas in the entire Address.

Any cryptographers / cryptanalysts in the readership care to take a crack at the SOTUA and post results in the Post Comments??..


The entire Address contained 7,077 words.








UPDATE 8: THE SECRET


I've received several messages basically asking me the question "How do you get 7/2/2010 from the State of the Union Address Strange Eye!!"??? (expletives omitted of course ;)


Well let's see if we can explain a couple of the finer details of the procedure a little Bit Better...
To truly understand it, however, you would need to fully understand exactly how Alchemical Information has been encoded into everyday works, innocuously and generally unnoticed, since writing was first invented... But that's something you'll need to figure out and explore on your own.

first:

The picture on this post, taken 1/27/2010, shows half a Black Sun (Schwarze Sonne - see post comments)

This points us to SUN, the Cult of the Black SUN and the Summer Solstice on June 21,2010.

It also point to the midpoint of the YEAR. The year cleaved in Half to be exact - as years are measured based on the orbitting of the SUN.

Half the year is JULY 2.
July 2 is the 183rd day of the year (and 182 remain in the year) in the Gregorian calendar.

22 (based on the number of visible sections in the half Schwarze Sonne) is exactly 1 half of the president - Obama is the 44th President.



Some Semiotic Cryptic Alchemical observances:


...."For two hundred and twenty years"....

JULY22010
A month with FOUR (FOR) characters = JULY (there's only two! JUNE and JULY)
220 (two hundred and twenty)
YEARS into 21st century = 10

Thus,
JULY22010 = fortwohundredandtwentyyears

July 2, 2010 is 11 days after the solstice.
July 4, 2010 is Independence Day (and June 21,2010 in the JULIan Calendar) and is 13 days after the Summer Solstice.

As 1/27 was a feastday of St. JULIan, combined with the other semiotic observances noted previously in this article all pointing to JULY, we intuitively should look for another St JULYan feastday in JULY.

We find that feastday on 7/2/2010.

We also find that the first ":" (colon) doesn't appear until after the 13th word of the first line of the address.
That character ":" is INDEPENDENT on the end of the first line (appears only once) and throughout the official distribution copy of the speech it appears a total of 11 times. (that's 22 "." individual dots, if you're paying attention!)

It is also made up of "2" dots/periods stacked upon each other vertically ":"

Go to the solstice, jump forward 13 days (before the appearance of the : in the speech, 1 day per word) to Independence Day, JULY 4th, 2010. Back up 2 days, 1 for each dot of the colon and you arrive at JULY 2, 2010.


To the TEXT: with interpreted instructions appearing between the sqaure brackets "[ ]"

"Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans:" [13 words until "the speech begins". The COLON ":" appears after the word AMERICANS. This is because "AMERICANS" were only "13" "COLONies" of "COLONists" until JULY 4, 1776. To be correct the COLON should appear BEFORE the word AMERICANS, so it tells us to do the mental reversal and back up in time - what this means to the date was explored in the above paragraph.]


"Our Constitution declares that from time to time [ We note in the very first paragraph, that the phrase "time to time" appears. This is a phrase which tells the reader to expect something related to "time" (and by nature, dates) to be coming up ], the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union.  For two hundred and twenty years, [ Sure enough, the next sentence contains the date clues expressed above in the line "For two hundred and twenty years" ] our leaders have fulfilled this duty. [ We note that after the "for 220 years" phrase we see the word FULFILLED, telling us that by this point in the document you have the "TIME to TIME" date. ]   They have done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility.  And they have done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle."


As we have SUMER (by nature of the U2 to UTU reference) if we take the current year of 2010 CE and subtract 4220 we arrive at 2210 BCE or the end of the AKKADIAN period in Babylonia / Sumer.

And if we proceed through the SOTUA, as I did previously in this article we find that all of the built-in alchemical-style encrypted checksums validate each other.

Hope that helps
you to find better information contained in it all!


...and...

Now that you're Illuminated and have learned a Great secret - go do the same with the BIBLE or QURAN or MAHABHARATA or TORAH or ZOHAR or DAN BROWN or medieval AlKhemical Works ..etc..etc.. to really amaze yourself!

The UN-told Story of Haiti - UPDATE(s)

Originally posted at 1/13/2010 @ 7:20pm

By now the world has heard of the catastrophic earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti on January 12, 2010... but there is recent troublesome political NEWS out of Haiti that is eclipsed by the tragedy.




After the USA and the UN worked so hard for nearly two decades to instill democracy in Haiti, the latest NEWS (1.11.2010) out of the carribean island nation that shares its landmass with the Dominican Republic, was that the current president Rene Preval was excluding the competition from the upcoming February 2010 election.

According to the Dominion Paper Californian Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, "qualified the Haiti's upcoming election to be a set back for Haiti's democratic development".

The U.S. Representative, Californian Congresswoman, a long-time supporter of democracy in Haiti Maxine Waters, qualified the Haiti's upcoming election to be a set back for Haiti's democratic development if these elections will not be fair and credible. Congresswoman Waters expressed her concerns about the upcoming elections in a letter addressing to Haitian President, Mr. Rene Preval.

Representative Waters' letter is one of dozens of letters that have been sent to President Preval, U.N's Secretary General and OAS' Secretary General about the upcoming flawed election in Haiti, scheduled for the months February and March.

Coming soon, more analysis about other letters on Haiti's undemocratic upcoming elections as already qualified by national and international political leaders and human groups.

Below is the Letter of Rep. Waters to President Preval.
December 23, 2009
His Excellency René Préval - President of Haiti
c/o Embassy of Haiti

2311 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20008
click image below for story

Your Excellency:

I am writing to express my concerns about the decision of Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) to exclude more than a dozen political parties from the Parliamentary elections scheduled for February and March 2010. I am concerned that these exclusions would violate the right of Haitian citizens to vote in free and fair elections and that it would be a significant setback to Haiti’s democratic development.

As you know, I have a longstanding commitment to supporting democracy and development in Haiti. I led efforts in the United States Congress to obtain debt cancellation for Haiti. These efforts culminated in the World Bank’s announcement last June that Haiti reached the “completion point” for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and would receive complete cancellation of its multilateral debts. I am also working to increase United States bilateral assistance to Haiti.

It is imperative that Haiti’s next elections be free and fair and that they be perceived as free and fair. Political parties should not be excluded from an election without a legally compelling reason, determined through a transparent, impartial process.

The CEP, to my knowledge, has not provided a public, written explanation for the exclusions of the political parties from the upcoming elections. The CEP’s failure to explain the justification for the political parties’ exclusions for almost a month raises questions about the validity of these exclusions. The fact that the decision was made by a provisional CEP – one chosen by your office from a list of nominations from organizations selected by your office rather than according to the 1987 Constitution – also raises questions about the fairness of the process.

I urge you to take appropriate action to ensure that the upcoming elections in Haiti are free and fair. This includes taking appropriate action to ensure that the CEP: a) provides a complete, public explanation for the exclusions; and b) allows any political party that was excluded for anything less than a clear, compelling legal reason to fully participate in the February elections.

Please communicate with The Honorable Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State of the United States; The Honorable Eliot Engel, Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere; and myself regarding the measures you take in this matter. I look forward to continuing to work with you to support democratic development in Haiti.

Sincerely,
Maxine Waters
Member of Congress

cc: Hon. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State of the United States
The Honorable Eliot Engel, Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere


"These efforts culminated in the World Bank’s announcement last June that Haiti reached the “completion point” for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and would receive complete cancellation of its multilateral debts."

I suppose this may be overly cynical in light of the human tragedy, however, though the national debt may be forgiven, the rebuilding of Haiti by companies from around the world will ensure long term return and profits for those companies that participate in rebuilding the devastated nation.

The earthquake also ensures that the entire world, touched by the human tragedy, will equally contribute aid, medical supplies and food to the devasted nation.

The earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, had aftershocks centered on the Champ de Mars plaza area that caused severe damage to the Presidential Palace.

and I'm sure we'll see the upcoming election be more open to all-comers and political parties - no matter who they may be beholden to.

Let's hope that the leaders of the nations of this world learn a valuable lesson from this terrible event. You cannot squirrel away the income of your nation, without playing ball and while your citizens wallow in misery, poverty and starvation and, whether by act of God or technology, be allowed to remain in power over a stable intact nation.

UN peacekeepers help prepare for election in Haiti
The United Nations says its peacekeeping mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is helping the impoverished Caribbean country prepare for upcoming legislative elections.

The UN said MINUSTAH is providing secondary support in logistics, security and raising public awareness, "while leaving the primary organising role to the national authorities".

The senior UN official in the southern region, Marco Donati, told a recent meeting to encourage young people to participate in the February 28 polls that it is the responsibility of the Haitian authorities to organise good elections.

"MINUSTAH is merely playing a secondary role in the elections," he added.

The UN said the mission is also helping the authorities to maintain a "stable political atmosphere, conducive to electing the country's legislators." ...more at story link above

Bill Clinton: Haiti Quake Tragedy for Millions, United Nations
Former President, Now a U.N. Special Envoy, Calls on Americans to Donate Cash
By DEVIN DWYER
Jan. 13, 2010
The disaster in Haiti, affecting more than 3 million people, may be one of the most devastating tragedies ever to hit the United Nations, former President Bill Clinton told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview for "World News."
Clinton, who was appointed the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti in May 2008, said the U.N. itself has been hit hard.
"Our U.N. hotel, as you know, [was] five stories [and] completely collapsed. Today, only 10 people [were] recovered alive," Clinton told Stephanopoulos.
At least 16 U.N. employees, including chief of the U.N. mission in Haiti, Hedi Annabi, have died, with at least 56 more injured, a U.N. spokesman told ABC News.
"It's highly likely to be the highest mortality count we've ever had," Clinton said. ... more at story link above

'Fox News Sunday' Transcript: Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush Discuss Haiti Challenge



In this age of bold trickery and deceit in the face of tremendous human tragedy (Like the Haiti EQ, Indonesia Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina - to name just a few) it is difficult for the average person to know exactly which charity will actually make proper use of donations - Which charitable organization will put the money to uses other than the administration and perpetuation of its own existence...

Well, for the immediate future stillerstrong.org (operated by the actor Ben Stiller) is claiming that 100% of all donations will go DIRECTLY to the Haiti relief effort.


A GREY AREA of charitable aid and relief can also occur when one organization (NGO/NFP) raises money and then bulk donates portions of that money, after operating expense deductions to yet another larger or more well known charitable relief organization.

Take time to investigate the percentages of money received versus the percentage of money used for the cause to which you are donating before donating to ANY charitable organization. Remember that bigger or more in-your-face through advertising, TV spots etc. also means more operating / administration expense and often less percentage making it out of the NFP corporation to the people that need it.

UPDATE 3:
BBC - Strong aftershock shakes Haiti, week after earthquake

A strong aftershock has rocked Haiti, sending screaming people running into the streets, eight days after another quake devastated the country.

The extent of the damage is not yet known. The magnitude 6.1 tremor struck west of Port-au-Prince at 0603 local time (1103 GMT).

An estimated 200,000 people died in last Tuesday's quake and another 1.5 million were made homeless.

Despite an international aid operation, supplies are slow to reach survivors.

However, international teams are still rescuing people alive from the rubble, including a 69-year-old woman pulled from the ruins of a church in the capital. ...more at story link above...

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and Olympia Greece - SIRIUSly!





As the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games commence in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Feb 12, 2010 at 18:00 (6pm) PST the star SIRIUS, the famous star in the constellation of Canis Major (Big Dog), will be rising at the HorIzon in the East.

For the curious, at the same time, Meissa, the head star of the constellation Orion the Hunter, will be at 33 degrees ALT.

Vancouver EAST view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010


Vancouver SOUTH view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010


Vancouver WEST view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010




At that very same moment (02-12-2010 @ 1800 PST) over Olympia, Greece Sirius is setting to the Hor-I-zon in the West.

Olympia, Greece EAST view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010



Olympia, Greece SOUTH view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010


Olympia, Greece WEST view @ 1800 PST 2.12.2010





Thus, on the scheduled date and time of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony, Vancouver, BC, Canada and Olympia, Greece are symbolically linked through the rising and setting of the star Sirius.

SIDE NOTEs:

In synch with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games commencement in just 30 days, we will witness the mystery object (NEO 2010 AL30) pass by Earth today (1.13.2010) !



The object, called 2010 AL30, is set to pass within 76,000 miles (122,000km) of the Earth, or just a third of the distance out to the moon, around lunchtime on Wednesday.

Its discovery earlier this week has baffled scientists, with some astronomers speculating it may be space junk given its width is similar to a man-made object.

Nasa said it was more likely to be a tiny asteroid, one of approximately 2 million such objects in near-Earth space.

Measuring between 33 to 50 feet (10 to 15 meters) wide, experts say it is too small to cause any damage to the earth.

The object, which will pass the earth at 1247 GMT, was discovered by, NASA-funded Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research programme on Monday and pictured by the Australian Skylive-Grove Creek Observatory in Trunkey Creek, New South Wales.

Experts say professional astronomers will be able to see it shining with a brightness of a 14th-magnitude star similar to that of Pluto in the constellations of Orion, Taurus, and Pisces.

Italian scientists Ernesto Guido and Giovanni Sostero, from the Remanzacco Observatory, told Ria Novosti, the Russian News Agency, that it had an orbital period of almost exactly one year and might be a man-made object such as a spent rocket booster.

For those not up on norse, greek and roman mythology ZEUS/Iupiter/WOTAN are all the same character.
Zeus is the head (chief god) of the Olympians.
Wednesday is WOTAN's DAY.
Today, Wednesday, January 13, 2010, Wotan's Day thereby also Zeus's Day, will witness the near pass of NEO 2010 AL30 exactly 30 days before the start of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic games - a games historically held in honor of Zeus and the 12 Olympian gods.

Zeus lived and held court on Mount Olympus with the 12 Olympians: Zeus, Hera (Juno), Poseidon (Neptune), Demeter (Ceres), Apollo, Artemis (Diana), Ares (Mars), Hephaestus (Vulcan), Aphrodite (Venus), Hermes (Mercury), Athene (Minerva), and Hades (Pluto).

You'll also note more interesting astronomical positioning if you, armed with the names of the 12 Olympian deities, return to the images posted above for a second look.

Aside from the obvious 30 days before the Winter Olympic Games, another interesting timing fact of this object passing Earth (NEO 2010 AL30) is that today (1.13.2010) is also New Year's Eve (12.31.2009) via the old Julian calendar system. The Julian Calendar System and the Gregorian Calendar System (our current and main calendar system used in the "West") are separated by about 13 days.
