Aldebaran in the horoscope. Aldebaran (star)

The constellation Taurus is quite large, and its main star Aldebaran is easy to find in the sky. There are many interesting objects worth seeing here. When is the best time to see the constellation Taurus? It refers to therefore best conditions for observations - starting from October-November, when already in the evening it rises quite high above the horizon in the southern part of the sky, and until spring. In late spring and early summer in Russia, it is not visible at all, then the time for the appearance of this constellation increases.

The easiest way to find the constellation Taurus, focusing on a very noticeable figure, which is located below and to the left. Accordingly, Taurus from Orion above and to the right. In ancient drawings, they depicted just Orion - a hunter swinging at a bull - Taurus.

Constellation Taurus in the sky.

The main star of Taurus, Aldebaran, is easy to spot due to its brightness and orange tint. For a guide, you can use the three stars of Orion's belt - if you connect them with an imaginary line and continue this line to the right, then Aldebaran will be in its path.

If you look even further to the right and above Aldebaran, you can easily see a small copy of the ladle Ursa Major- This is the Pleiades star cluster, a very noticeable object in the night sky.

Now let's see what remarkable objects are in the constellation Taurus. And there are two objects here - M1 and M45, 5 stars with open exoplanets, and some other things.

Taurus constellation stars

There are many different stars in the constellation Taurus, but special attention deserve a few.

Aldebaran

Of course, the most remarkable star in this constellation is its alpha. This star has a name - Aldebaran. Its brightness is 0.87m, and it is the 13th brightest star in the list. It is an orange giant that burns out its helium and expands - now its diameter is 38 times larger than the sun, although the mass is about the same. Aldebaran emits 150 times more light than the Sun. The distance to it is 65 light years, so this star can be considered almost a neighbor.

Like many giants, Aldebaran is irregular, that is, it changes its brightness in an unpredictable way in the range of 0.2m. In addition, it is also a double star - at a distance of several hundred astronomical units from the giant, there is its companion - a dim red dwarf.

Aldebaran appears to be in the Hyades star cluster. In fact, it has nothing to do with this cluster, because it is located much closer to us, and it’s just that the Hyades are in the same direction, only much further.


Aldebaran (a bright orange star) in front of the Hyades cluster.

Taurus - zodiac constellation, which means that the Sun and the Moon pass through it. A curious fact - Aldebaran is the brightest star that the Moon can cover in its path.

And there is also an assumption that Aldebaran has a planet that is 11 times larger.

Nat

This is β Tauri, a star of magnitude 1.65, located on the border with the constellation Auriga. There was a time when Nat belonged to two constellations at once, oddly enough. Another popular name is El Nat.

This star is located at a distance of 131 light years from us, that is, twice as far as Aldebaran, and is moving away from us by 9 km every second. Nat is 5-6 times larger than the Sun, has a luminosity of 700, and is 4.5 times heavier, so there is much more matter in the star than in Aldebaran. Given that Nat is growing and is already considered a blue giant, it will be much larger and brighter than alpha.

In addition, Nat is a double star.

Unusual stars of the constellation Taurus

There are many in the constellation Taurus interesting stars, but two deserve special attention. This is Eta Taurus - Alcyone, and Zeta Taurus (she does not have her own name).

Alcyone - bright Star in the Pleiades cluster, which we will talk about later. Its unusualness is that in fact it is a multiple star. At the center of the system is component A - a blue-white Be-type giant, that is, due to its rapid rotation (100 times faster than the Sun), it has an ellipsoidal shape. Because of this, the giant simply oozes material from the equator, which forms a circumstellar disk.

Components B and C are normal main sequence stars of 6th and 8th magnitude, except for the fact that component C is a δ Scuti type variable star. The D component is a white-yellow dwarf. And all four components of Alcyone can be seen with a small telescope.

Zeta Tauri is located at a distance of 417 light years from us, and at the same time has a magnitude of 2.97. This star is a double star and is notable for the fact that its main component emits 5700 times more light than the Sun! It's just some super light.

Also noteworthy is the famous variable T Tauri, which serves as the prototype for a whole class of variable stars. This is a young star that is just being formed from the circumstellar disk - the material from it falls on the protostar in the center, shrinks, and becomes part of the star. The mass of this protostar is 1000 times that of the Sun. This star is a triple, and near it is the nebula NGC 1555 (Hind's Variable Nebula), which is illuminated by this star. The brightness of T Tauri changes in an irregular way from 9.3 to 14m, and the illumination of the nebula also changes. The age of this star is only a few million years, which is very small, and now we see it at an early stage of evolution. It also discovered an exoplanet, 1.66 times heavier than Jupiter, located at a distance of only 0.1 AU from the star.

Star clusters and nebulae in Taurus

The constellation Taurus is famous primarily for its star clusters, primarily the Hyades and Pleiades.

Hyades Cluster

This open star cluster is very easy to find - Aldebaran is in it, although this is only an appearance. In fact, the cluster itself is located 153 light years away, and Aldebaran is more than twice as close. Nevertheless, this is the closest open star cluster to us of all. Messier did not include them in his catalog, apparently due to the fact that the cluster is quite bright, highly scattered, and even its individual stars have their own designations. In some places, the Hyades were even considered a separate constellation.


The composition of the stars in the Hyades is different - there are both similar to the Sun and red giants. Their age is estimated at about 600 million years, and this cluster is older than the Pleiades. This is confirmed by the absence of nebulae from which young stars are formed.

About 80,000 years ago, the Hyades were at a minimum distance from us, twice as close, and now they are moving away. Millions of years will pass, and from the Earth this cluster will be difficult to observe.

Pleiades - M45

The Pleiades is perhaps the most famous star cluster. It is also very easy to find to the right of Aldebaran, thanks to its very expressive bucket shape. The seven brightest stars that form this figure have their own names. They are named after the daughters of the mythical king Atlas and his wife Pleione - Alcyone (this multiple star has already been discussed), Tayget, Meron, Celen, Electra, Asteron and Maya. When they were attacked by Orion, the god Zeus turned them into stars and placed them in the sky. However, Orion does not take his eyes off them! The Pleiades are mentioned in the Bible, even Homer spoke about them.


The main stars of the Pleiades star cluster.

All the main stars of the Pleiades are hot white giants. Our Sun among them would look like a star of the 10th magnitude, visible only through a telescope. However, there are hundreds of stars in this cluster, and among them there are very different ones - both white giants and those similar to the Sun. But there are no red giants here, because all the stars here are young, and the star becomes a red giant only at the end of its life.

Despite its seemingly small size, the Pleiades cluster occupies an area in the sky several times larger than the full moon. And in space it stretches for 12 light years, and about 1000 stars have already been discovered there. Moreover, all these stars have a common origin, are connected by gravity and fly in the same direction. Although it is estimated that within 250 million years, the gravitational bonds in the Pleiades will be broken, and the cluster will break up into individual stars. Now the cluster is still quite young - its age is estimated at about 100 million years.

Near some stars, especially Merope and Maya, nebulae are noticeable. Previously, it was believed that these are the remnants of gases from which the stars themselves were formed, because they are quite young. However, it is now believed that these nebulae have nothing to do with the cluster, and simply got in its way - the Pleiades fell into space with unevenly distributed accumulations of dust, and illuminate them.

It is very easy to observe the Pleiades. Even with the naked eye, 6-7 main stars are visible. People with excellent vision distinguish more than ten stars. Already with ordinary binoculars you can see 20-30 stars, and with a telescope you can see much more of them, and you can find nebulae near the brightest ones.

Crab Nebula - M1

The Crab Nebula is a very curious object. Firstly, this is the first object that was listed in the Messier catalog, and it was the reason for the creation of the catalog. Secondly, this is the remnant of the most powerful supernova explosion, which was seen on July 4, 1054. Third, there is now a pulsar at the center of this nebula.


In fact, the supernova explosion, of course, did not occur at all in 1054, then the light from it only reached the Earth. And he covered this distance in another 6,500 years, this event happened so far from us. A supernova on Earth could be seen even during the day, and many peoples of the world - from the Indians to the Chinese, left a mention of this event in their legends and records. So imagine how powerful this explosion was, which occurred 6,500 light years away from us!

- the remains of a red supergiant that threw off its substance as a result of a collapse and then a powerful explosion. Now this cloud is spread over 11 light years, and continues to expand at a speed of 1500 km / s.

At the center of the Crab Nebula is a neutron star, a pulsar discovered in 1968. This pulsar has a diameter of only about 30 km with a mass of 2.5 solar masses, and rotates at a speed of 30 revolutions per second!

Many pulsars have already been discovered, but this particular one has unique characteristics. It emits very stable pulses in almost all ranges, from radio waves to gamma rays. Especially strong radiation occurs in the X-ray range. This phenomenon is even used to calibrate X-ray detectors, and the radiation strength of this pulsar is used as a reference for measuring other sources.

You can see the Crab Nebula with binoculars or any telescope. Of course, to distinguish the structure of the fibers, you need a telescope of a very serious size, but even with a small one you can see the shape of the nebula. By the way, due to the high rate of expansion, the shape of the nebula changes noticeably after a dozen years.

Of course, these are not all interesting objects that can be found in the constellation Taurus. It also contains other star clusters, nebulae, and variable stars. Here we have mentioned the most famous and requiring almost no equipment, except for binoculars, for greater convenience.

A view of Aldebaran from Earth combines it with the Hyades star cluster. This cluster is clearly visible in the constellation Taurus with the naked eye.

Star Aldebaran, image taken from the DSS catalog

The Hyades are made up of four stars bound together by gravitational attraction.

Together with Aldebaran, they are similar to the English V and, it would seem, form a single whole, but Aldebaran is only against the background of Giyads. He is alone in the universe. The nearest neighbors, apart from a personal satellite, are at a decent distance of 20 sv. years.

A small companion, a red dwarf, revolves around Aldebaran. It is very dim, so it is impossible to observe it without special equipment.

Astronomers suggest the presence of a large planet in the orbit of a star. Its mass can be equal to 11 Jupiters. The distance from Aldebaran is 1.35 AU, but this fact still needs to be proven.

Name history

The name of the star was given by the Arabs. Its translation is “follower”, “following…”.

Like every major star, Aldebaran has several names: the Eye of Taurus or "Bull's Eye" determines its location in the constellation. Palilius is a Roman name. Lamparus is Greek. Denotes a "torch" or "beacon" of the dark sky.

The ancient Persians revered the star, raising it to the royal rank. She was known 3000 years ago BC.

Physical characteristics of the star

Aldebaran is a normal giant. Its position in the spectral class K5 III. Glows orange. The diameter of the giant is 61 million km.

Scientists believe that it burned all the hydrogen on its surface and began to destroy helium. Such conclusions can be drawn from the observation of a star. She greatly increased in size. Its temperature increased due to the pressure of gravitational forces.

The distance to Earth is 65 light years. More powerful than the sun 150 times larger and 44 times larger. It occupies the fourteenth position in terms of brilliance intensity.

position in the sky

First you need to find a conspicuous Orion. Then, push off to the right of his waist in a straight line. The first blinding point will be Aldebaran.

When to watch?

The best time to watch Aldebaran is during the winter months. Jupiter passes through the constellation Taurus in December. It is worth being careful, because the planet is much larger and brighter. In her company, Aldebaran fades a little.

In the early 70s, the Pioneer-10 unmanned vehicle was launched, which, after it leaves solar system fly towards Aldebaran. It carries a message with the simplest description of the form of life on Earth and the structure of the solar system. He will reach his destination in 2 million years. Pioneer 10 last contacted the Earth 10 years ago.

A lot of information about Aldebaran was brought by the American satellite Hipparcos. He has been in space for 37 months since 1989. The Hipparchus apparatus determined the distance from the Sun to this star as accurately as possible.

On May 31, 2007, the Sun will pass one of the dangerous places in the Zodiac - the so-called axis of catastrophes. At this moment, our star will connect with the star Aldebaran (alpha Taurus) and at the same time make an exact opposition to the star Antares. This aspect primarily concerns those who were born in the area of ​​dates May 30-31, December 1-2, September 1-2, February 28.

The red star Aldebaran is the main star in the constellation Taurus. This is one of the brightest and most influential stars in the sky, which the ancient Persians considered the royal star - the guardian of the East. About 6.5 thousand years ago, the spring equinox coincided with the coordinate of this bright star. According to various ancient astrologers, Aldebaran endows a person with great honor, powerful energy, high position, lack of stability and violence. They also add that with this star a person can reach a high position, but will make many enemies for himself.

Judging by its red color, the main conductor (epigone) of its energy into our system is the planet Mars. This fact gives a hint that honors and high position can be achieved in all areas that are associated with powerful energy, strength and fire, these are military, sports, fire organizations, in the worst case, terrorism and banditry on a global scale.

Over the entire 20th century, Aldebaran has advanced only 1.5 degrees - from 9 to 10 degrees of Gemini. On the other side of the sky, in exact opposition to Aldebaran in the 10th degree of the sign of Sagittarius, is the second red star Antares, which I have already written about before. See http://www..php?fixed/antares The coincidence of two red warlike stars on the axis of 10 degrees of signs Sagittarius-Gemini created a lot of prerequisites for negative interpretations of this axis. Astrologers have called it the Axis of Catastrophes. See also topic http://www..php?t=2581

It should be taken into account that due to the precessional displacement of the earth's axis, at the beginning of the 20th century (until the mid-40s), these stars had a projection of 9 degrees of signs Sagittarius-Gemini. And after 2015-2016, the projection of these stars will shift to 11 degrees of mutable signs.

Below I give two tables that indicate the dates and times when Mars was in conjunction with Aldebaran and Antares from the beginning of the 20th century until 2006. All those born on these dates, especially those close to the indicated time, are strongly influenced by these stars.


Here is the reference from the encyclopedia:

ALDEBARAN

(Aldebaran; from Arabic ad-dabaran - "next, following [after the Pleiades]"),

Palilia (Palilia; from the name of the Roman holiday of palylia on April 21 in honor of Pales), Oculus Tauri (lat. Oculus Tauri - "eye of Taurus")

fixed star, alpha Taurus. The apparent magnitude is 0.85m. Absolute magnitude M=-0.5. Spectral class K5 III. Although visually A. looks like part of the Hyades, in fact he is not a member of this star cluster, being twice as close to Earth. Six star system. Main star 0.9m class K5; its luminosity is equal to 190 solar luminosities, and its radius is 60 solar radii. Its most significant satellite - 13.4m - is located at an angular distance of 30.4 "from the main star. The distance from A. to the Sun is 19.96 pc. Astronomical position for epoch 2000.0: AR= 04h35m55.2s; D= +16°30"33"; Long = 069°47"25"; Lat= -05°28"04".

Aldebaran (A.) - "right bright eye of Taurus". In antiquity it was called Lamparus (i.e. lighthouse, torch). A. is one of the most important stars in astrology.

According to a tradition dating back to Ptolemy, A. has a Martian nature

according to P. Globa, it is also compared with the power of Jupiter. Robson provides information about the correlation of A. with the joint influence of Mercury, Mars and Jupiter (with reference to Al-Vidas).

According to a popular astrological legend, when in ancient times A. marked the vernal equinox, he received from the ancient Persians the name "Guardian of the East" (see Guardians of the sky). In this capacity, A. was the god Ahura Mazda or Mithra, the slayer of the cosmic bull.

Robson points out that A. gives the mind, eloquence, stamina, integrity of nature, sympathy, courage, severity, a tendency to rebellion; portends fame, a responsible position, public recognition and social growth, influence or wealth acquired thanks to other people, and this well-being is rarely unshakable; there is also the danger of suffering from violence or illness. In the culmination of A. brings honors, promotion, luck and location of women. In conjunction with the Sun, A. gives incredible energy and endurance, exceptional material rewards and the risk of losing them, danger from quarrels and courts; glory and wealth will be replaced by shame and ruin; illnesses, fevers, danger of violent death. If A. is in conjunction simultaneously with the Sun and Mars - a rare susceptibility to infectious inflammatory diseases. The connection of A. with the Moon is favorable for career advancement, brings honors and trust (especially when located in the 1st or 10th house), however, accompanied by failures; favorable for domestic, public and religious activities; danger of violent death. If A., being in conjunction with the luminary, is on the MC or ascends, this promises glory, the path to which lies through violence, along with troubles and hardships.

According to observations Ebertin and Hofmann, the connection of A. with the Ascendant or the Sun means exceptional energy, a person with this aspect is able to be ahead of others, he will achieve leadership positions and recognition, but at the same time he will make many enemies from whom dangers can come. Promotes the development of great patience. In conjunction with Saturn in tense aspects, A. carries danger and losses through water, i.e. from floods, storms, shipwrecks, drowning, etc. In conjunction with Uranus, A. gives tremendous energy and efficiency, thanks to which the native will achieve prestige and recognition. On the other hand, this aspect activates opponents. For world events, the conjunction of this star with Mars or Saturn corresponds to natural disasters(e.g. floods, shipwrecks). It is traditionally believed that the connection of A. with the Moon indicates the danger of poisoning if Neptune also joins this configuration. Venus in conjunction with A. is similar in effect to "energy directed in the wrong direction", giving anomalies in love relationships. This, however, must be viewed in a general context.

Kefer notes that the influence of A. can be favorable, but in any case it remains dangerous. Conjunction with the Sun, in his interpretation, threatens with death, violent or after a long illness, in the tenth house - a career, but a tragic end. Coincident with the Ascendant, the Moon or the Sun - a dangerous glory, coincident with Saturn - drowning, falling from high places, with Mars - the danger of death in a shipwreck, in storms and floods. In conjunction with the Wheel of Fortune, the cusp of the second house or the ruler of the second house, the loss of property. In the first or seventh house not far from the luminaries - violent death.

Devor points out that traditionally A. is taken as the ruler of the hands from the wrists to the fingertips. When affected, this star can cause pneumonia. Devor also writes that in the case of conjunction of A. with Mars, Saturn or a luminary, ancient astrologers predicted sudden death.

The direction of the Sun to A. gives, according to de Luce, good luck in business, danger litigation and quarrels. Honor and wealth end in disgrace, violent death is likely. Direction of the Moon: Popularity, wealth and honor, along with the danger to life associated with battles or violence.

Rigor believes that A. brings the native sympathy of other people, fame, honors, endows him with eloquence; the native has a tendency to lose the sense of proportion, he easily enters into disputes. This star gives the native benefits that most often do not last. Possible violence and self-destruction.

According to P.Globa, A. gives submission to evil, violence, constant misfortunes, oppressive evil around a person, attracting violent death. It symbolizes brightness, anger, pressure, rudeness, dangers in war, violent actions, fights, dangerous enterprises. In some cases, A. clearly promises violent death (when interacting with Uranus, Mercury, the Moon). Conjunction with Jupiter gives impudence, the desire for violence, cruelty and unceremonious suppression of others. Connection with the Sun and Mars - rudeness, demonic possession, indomitable anger, rage, rabies. In conjunction with the Wheel of Fortune or on the MC, it promises a big take-off, many fans, many servants. Glory will always be negative, but such a person will always be served by many. In medical astrology, A. indicates strokes, liver diseases, and is associated with the process of blood clotting.

B. Brady points out that A. gives a person the opportunity to achieve success and greatness, but he will be challenged regarding the integrity and purity of his thoughts and actions. If he fails this test, he will lose everything. The presence of A in the chart indicates that the native will have to face moral dilemmas that will challenge his integrity, there will be a temptation to jeopardize his position, to go against his integrity. The native will have to struggle to keep the purity of what he believes in.

In the theory of the systemic interpretation of stars by D. Kutalev, A. as the alpha of Taurus correlates with the element of Fire on lowest level manifestations, but as a class K5 star is associated with the Sun. According to this theory, A. means indomitable energy, usually manifested powerful flashes(you can compare with a volcano); the native does what he wants, regardless of the opinions of others, guided by the principle "the end justifies the means." Hence the numerous obstacles that the native in a frenzy tries to overcome with a swoop, dangerous enemies that cannot be reconciled. The multiplicity of A. indicates that the powerful energy determined by this star usually escapes from the control of the native and manifests itself destructively (including at the level of the physical body). Working through requires resolving contradictions in personal and social ethics, after which it may be possible to transform the energy of A. as a fearless fighter, a strong leader, a person of creativity.

A. is in exact opposition to another bright star, usually considered malevolent, Antares. Therefore, a number of astrologers describe both of these stars as an axis with a single value. See catastrophe axis.

In lunar astrology, A. is associated with the 4th station of the Moon.

"Reddish Aldebaran A- fiery bull's eye in the constellation Taurus. The estimated diameter of this object is approximately 38 diameters of our Sun. This star glows the orange color of a giant K5 star. Aldebaran located at a distance of about 65 light years from Earth, much closer than the luminaries Hyades with which he deceptively appears to be associated. The Hyades are about 150 light-years from Earth. Find Aldebaran easily. It is part of a V-shaped group of stars, which, in fact, forms constellation Taurus, this group is called Hyades

Also can be found Aldebaran, guided by the constellation Orion. Just need to find three stars in Orion's belt, then draw an imaginary line across the tape to the right. The first bright star to be replaced is Aldebaran with its characteristic reddish-orange light.

Aldebaran

Aldebaran is the 14th brightest star, but five of those that outshine it are only barely visible or not visible at all in much of the Northern Hemisphere. Aldebaran best seen in winter and spring. At least at this time, this star is best seen in the evening sky. By early December Aldebaran rises shortly after sunset, and is visible all night. Three months later, this star is high in the south at sunset, and sets around 00:00. By the beginning of May it is low in the west.

By the way, although it seems that Aldebaran is among the Hyades, it is not really part of the V-shaped cluster. It is actually much closer to us in space than the stars of the Hyades.

Mythology Aldebaran

AT mythology Aldebaran often depicted as a fiery eye constellation Taurus. Because of its brightness and good visibility Aldebaran was recognized as one of the 4 royal stars in ancient Persia, the other three are Regulus, Antares and Fomalhaut.

The name is from the Arabic "follower", presumably as a hunter pursuing a victim. Probably referring to the Pleiades. The latter are often seen as a flock of birds, possibly pigeons. According to Richard Hinckley Allen in his classic book, Star names", title Aldebaran applies to the entire Hyades cluster, a large group of faint stars.

According to Hindu myth, Aldebaran sometimes identified with a beautiful young woman Rohini, who took the form of an antelope and pursued her depraved father, turned into a deer, Mriga. Apparently, several ancient peoples associated these stars with rain. Story Dakota Sioux, in which Aldebaran was a star that fell to Earth and killed a serpent, resulting in the formation of the Mississippi River. Allen notes a number of other alternative names, but very little is said about Aldebaran separately in mythology.

Aldebaran is the name of one of the horses in the chariots in the movie Ben Hur.

Astronomer Jack Eddy has proposed a link to the Big Horn Medicine Wheel, an ancient circle of rocks atop a mountain in Wyoming. He wrote that the Native Americans could use the site as a kind of observatory to see Aldebaran rise just before the sun in June to predict the June solstice.

It is interesting to note that in about two 2 million years, the American SpaceProbe Pioneer 10, which went into deep space, will pass next to Aldebaran.

Shumi-Aldebaran Civilization

In comparison with the amount of information about representatives of other extraterrestrial civilizations, which mediums and ufologists have, information about Aldebaran civilization not so much. According to some reports, this is explained by the secrecy of its representatives themselves, who do not want to contact people. Although in the 1920s they were the first to reach the medium Maria Orsic, and told her a lot about their planet. Thus, Maria and another contactee named Sigrun became liaisons, relaying information received from the Aldebarans to the nascent Third Reich.

The interest of another civilization specifically in the adherents of National Socialism can be explained by the fact that they have a division. There are two planets: one is inhabited by Aldebarans, who did not mix with other races, on the second - those who did this, as a result of which they degraded.

Probably a mysterious civilization is related to Ancient Sumer. The Aldebarans provided Nazi German scientists with information about aircraft working on a principle unknown to earthlings. Communication was carried out through channeling, and after the defeat of Hitler stopped.

According to mediums, contactees told them that Shumi-Aldebaran civilization much older than the human. It was also said that their ruling race is the “bright god-men” living on Shumi-Er. The rest are called "minimally capable", and live on Shumi-An, they have no way to get to Shumi-Yer.

The "Minimum Capable", supposedly due to negative mutations when Aldebaran was a light yellow sun. Now it is a red giant. Before the transformation, there could have been 4-5 planets in the system, similar in terms of conditions to the Earth. Possibly the ancestors god-men"inhabited the planet most distant from the sun, and colonized other planets when they reached a sufficient level of technological development for this.

The metropolis waged wars with the colonies, which used nuclear weapon. This was followed by degradation and mutation.

Approximately half a billion years ago, according to our reckoning, the sun of Shumi began to expand, gradually becoming a red giant. When this process was completed, life was possible only on two planets: Shumi-Yer and Shumi-An. The “God-men” decided to relocate the colonists to the latter.

Some messages from the Aldebarans reported that they were at war with the states in the systems Chapel and Regulus, where the surviving colonists apparently live. According to a number of sources, the Earth was visited not only by aliens from Shummi, but also their opponents are colonists from the Capella and Regulus star systems.

Also, according to some reports, a racial type division on our planet was supposed, although there is no exact confirmation of this.
