Higgs boson-like particle discovered

BBC News:
"Cern scientists reporting from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson, aka 'God particle'.

The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.

Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery".

More work will be needed to be certain that what they see is a Higgs, however.

The results announced at Cern (European Organization for Nuclear Research), home of the LHC in Geneva, were met with loud applause and cheering.

Prof Peter Higgs, after whom the particle is named, wiped a tear from his eye as the teams finished their presentations in the Cern auditorium.

"I would like to add my congratulations to everyone involved in this achievement," he added later.

"It's really an incredible thing that it's happened in my lifetime."

CMS spokesman Prof Joe Incandela evoked the archetypal expression of the current Uranus-Pluto square when he said, "We're reaching into the fabric of the Universe at a level we've never done before.”

The July 3, 2012 Full Moon conjoined Pluto (empowering) which is now square Uranus (technological innovation), and Pluto rose in Geneva less then 5 minutes before the exact Full Moon. The last time Uranus and Pluto were square was the early 1930's and the atom was first split in Cambridge, UK, April 1932. The April 6, 1932 New Moon at 16 Aries was conjunct Uranus at 19-20 Aries square Pluto at 19-20 Cancer. Uranus and Pluto were exactly square April 21, 1932. Of course, Uranus = uranium, and Pluto = plutonium.

Discovered in 1930, astrological Pluto is linked with the Depression, the rise of Fascism, and development of nuclear energy. Pluto has an affinity with the process of revealing something that was hereto hidden- also with upheavals, volcanoes and earthquakes. It pertains to power and the abuses of power. While Uranus in astrology reflects all kinds of revolutions and awakenings, that open human consciousness to the infinite field of new possibilities. And the revelations associated with Uranus often occur suddenly or unexpectedly.

The lunations- New Moons, Full Moons, and eclipses, seem to time, trigger, and activate the major planetary alignments, and bring them to a focus in the world.
Yesterdays Capricorn Full Moon was conjunct Pluto (-90-Uranus) by longitude and declination- i.e. parallel. A conjunction by longitude and declination is the most powerful type of conjunction possible- and it was sharply focused in Geneva, where CERN's Large Hadron Collider is located. The Full Moon was exact in Geneva at 8:51:52 pm, CEDT. Pluto rose there at 8:47 pm.

July 5 ~ Dark matter filament found, scientists say

Astrophysicists say they have discovered one strand of the long-elusive dark matter filaments, thought to connect galaxies and help shape the universe.
