Standing on the Edge of the Universe Wheels Within Wheels

 
As within, so without

One by one, people are awakening despite the onslaught of misleading propaganda.

Some people can see through the DECEIVER AND FATHER OF LIES.

SOME ARE STILL STUCK IN THE BINARY MIND.

AS THE TECTONIC PLATES SHIFT TRIGGERED BY THE EVOLUTIONARY CYCLES, COMETS, MAJOR ASTROLOGY ASPECTS.

Matthew 7:12

The phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is commonly known as the Golden Rule, which is a teaching of Jesus found in the Bible, specifically in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31. This principle emphasizes treating others with the same kindness and respect that you wish to receive. It is a foundational ethical guideline that sums up the teachings of the Law and the Prophets, encouraging individuals to act with empathy and consideration towards others.

 

OH…SNAP…

 

There is a karmic LAW that states that even evil actions must be announced.

You must have EYES TO SEE.

Let me help you comprehend this MYSTERY.

COMMANDMENTS as has been explained before so many times now: COMMANDING THE MENT/MIND.

COMMANIND THE UNIVERSAL MIND INSTRUCTING THE UNIVERSE HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

‘Thou shalt not steal’…If YOU steal, you are COMMANDING THE UNIVERSE TO STEAL FROM YOU.

Now I will insert this again:
‘Wheels within wheels’ ~ Ezekiel 1:16

 

“The first shall be last and the last shall be first” ~ Mathew 20:16

 “Have you found the ending, good for then you have found the beginning also.” ~Gospel of Thomas

We are at the end of an old cycle, 

MANY OLD CYCLES, MANY WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS.

 

I was told (by Divine Messenger) that what people are wishing upon one another, will soon find themselves at the very receiving end of their own wish. 

You see, as everything is in tumult around us, the winds quickening, the waters increasing in the storms raging, the earth herself, shifting beneath our very feet, lava exploding lava/blood from her belly, earthquakes the very sign of the GREAT SHAKING.

As the earth’s tectonic plates shift within, do you NOT

FEEL THE SHAKING AND SHIFTING WITHIN YOU?  AROUND YOU?

HAVE YOU BECOME DEAF OR BLIND?  NUMB?

ARE YOU SO TRAPPED IN A MYOPIC VISION OR VERSION IN THE SPELL THAT HAS BEEN CAST UPON THE SUPERFICIAL LAYERS THAT YOUR HEARTS ARE HARDENED AND DO NOT FEEL NOW?

DO YOU NOT SEE OR HEAR THE EARTH SPEAKING SO LOUDLY WITH SO MANY SIGNS?

Matthew 25:40

The phrase "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers" comes from Matthew 25:40, where Jesus teaches that acts of kindness and compassion towards those in need are equivalent to serving Him directly. This emphasizes the importance of caring for the marginalized and recognizing their inherent dignity. In essence, it conveys that our treatment of others reflects our relationship with God

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

    (Jesus said He would be with us until the end of this age (Age of PIsces) then we should follow the person with the jar on their head into their house (Age of Aquarius).  It is the end of this age of PIsces now, especially as we head into 2026 when Neptune is no longer in her rulership sign of PIsces, and the North Node, head of the dragon or soul's purpose leads us into Aquarius too, as well as Pluto well aligned in his transit of Aquarius also.)

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ~ Luke 21:25-33

Nothing is ONLY OUTSIDE OF US; IT IS ALL WITHIN.

We are all going through these INTERNAL SHIFTS TOO.

EVERYONE IS, WHETHER THEY ARE CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OR AWAKENED OR NOT.

See how even that word, WOKE’ has been weaponized?

          OH SNAP!!!

The slang phrase "oh snap" is used as an expression of surprise or unexpectedness. It can convey amazement and disbelief. Additionally, it can express dismay or vexation, often used when someone realizes something unfortunate. In some contexts, it is similar to saying "whoa" and can also be used when someone is insulted in an embarrassing manner. Overall, it captures a range of emotions, including surprise and disappointment.

Oh yeah, it is also a food program to feed the HUNGRY CHILDREN.

 

You see WE ARE EVERYTHING

 ALL AT ONCE…

 

ASTROLOGY ASPECTS THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED FOR US IN LIFETIMES, THOUSANDS OF YEARS AS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO YOU OVER AND OVER ON THIS BLOG. (PLUTO TRINE URANUS AND BOTH SEXTILE TO NEPTUNE/SATURN AT 00° ARIES SIGNALLING A BRAND-NEW BEGINNING…OH…AND AN ENDING.

LIFETIMES

THOUSANDS OF YEARS

AND NOW WE HAVE THE COMETS ALL OF WHICH ARE ‘INTERSTELLAR’, THREE OF THEM SO FAR (I predict there will be more) and the I, in the comets names stand for Interstellar.

Lemmon, Swan, C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN) and 3IAtlas. Comet Atlas is NOT acting like what scientist's expected comets to behave, regarding tail, brightness, speed, direction, etc.
Though there are many speculations regarding this, such as being alien craft, etc., we do not at this point really know.
What I do know, is that anything in on earth, environment, astrological perspective ALL HAS AN AFFECT ON US, BOTH WITHIN AND WITHOUT.
ALL OF IT. LIKE THE WEATHER
'IT' IS NOT RAINING...WE ARE. BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND WITHIN A COLLECTIVE GODMIND.

THIS IS A SHIFT that is why YOU feel what you FEEL, SEE what you SEE NOW, happening all around us.  CHAOS

You, me, all of US, came here for this SHIFT OF THE AGES.

THIS IS CONSCIOUSNESS…

THIS IS A TERRESTRIAL RUMBLING, SHIFTING THE PLATES, HEATING UP THE MAGMA TO RISE UP IN VOLCANOE’S, EARTHQUAKES, KUNDALINI, TO RING THE BELL, FOR A CHRISTENING, A BAPTISM.

We, all LIFE IS CONNECTED, we are CONNECTED TO EARTH, TO PLANETS, ENVIRONMENT, AND EVERYTHING COMMUNICATES WHETHER YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS OR NOT.

EVERYTHING
So, as we see these comets coming in, you better believe they are influencing our own being, consciousness, inner worlds.

Don’t you feel that tumult?

THE SECOND BIRTH.

This GREAT REVEALING is peeling back the layers, see the sedimentary layers?  Terrestrial shifts are without and within.

See all the discoveries, the ancient past being revealed, what is below the pyramids, old technology from the past, ancient cities, tunnels, etc., all being discovered and excavated?

So many lifetimes, ancestors are all around us and we stand on their shoulders, their lives too.

 

When 3I Atlas conjuncts the Sun on October 29/30th it will also be at 6 to 7 degrees Scorpio. (geocentric tropical)
Look to those degrees in your own chart, and go within a few degrees forwards and backwards to see how YOU DESIGNED THIS TIME TO AWAKEN AND ACTIVATE YOU PERSONALLY.

Add to this, the late and beginning degrees of: PIsces & Aries/Capricorn & Aquarius/ and TAUrus & Gemini, for Neptune (and currently Saturn)/Pluto and Uranus, in that correlating order are in their long transits of those signs.
See they are finishing and reviewing (in the case of retrogrades when they pull back the curtain and give us another glimpse, continued lessons so we see what we could not see before and they help us to assimilate this energy as it activates and awakens us.
Then they enter very new beginnings, especially when it comes to the upcoming Neptune and Saturn conjunction on February 20^th at 00° Aries, which is literally the beginning of the wheel, the very beginning, RESET of the NEW WORLD being created.

A new, more aware YOU.
Please read back in previous blogs, about these comets.
Atlas banned to the edge of the universe to hold up the heavens (Ouranos ‘Ur Anus/Uranus’ ANNUNAKI ‘THOSE WHO FROM HEAVEN CAME).
This is the old and new gods battling again.
This is the time for all of us (U.S) TO take part in how the US is being recreated…IT IS.
Let FREEDOM ring.
Let the GREAT EXPERIMENT CONTINUE TO ITS HOPEFUL GOAL OF ALL OF US AWAKENING TO OUR TRUE POTENTIAL.

Look to your own personal natal chart, see where this is OPENING and CONNECTING you to SEE where the potential growth is affecting you personally.

Hanging on the edge of the universe, all the layers peeling, crumbling back and bearing truths no one dared to know.

We must try to listen to each other, to singular points, values, needs, to hear both sides, all sides of the concerns to help each other live in a CIVIL WORLD THAT HAS FREEDOMS, AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT BLEED INTO THE PERSONAL SPACE OF ANOTHER.

 WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.

 I will do my best to help share the information that is given to me, as a CONNECTOR and SEER, in my own capacity, I am one of those and there are many of us now, who at least for now, has been tasked with being a wayshower.

Further Notes:

The phrase "wheels within wheels" refers to a situation that is complex and difficult to understand due to the presence of multiple layers or intricate processes. It suggests that there are hidden or unknown influences that complicate a given situation, making it hard to discern the true nature of the circumstances. The term has biblical origins, specifically from Ezekiel 1:16, where it describes a vision of a chariot with wheels within wheels, (Fixed Cross in Astrology, on many altars and the people are mostly unawares) symbolizing the complexity of divine power and human affairs.

The phrase "the first shall be last and the last shall be first" is a biblical teaching that emphasizes the reversal of worldly expectations regarding status and reward. It suggests that those who are considered first or most important in society may find themselves last in the eyes of God, while those who are humble or marginalized may be exalted. This teaching is illustrated in various parables told by Jesus, such as the parable of the prodigal son, and is found in multiple Gospel accounts.

16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For[d] many are called, but few chosen.” Mathew 20:16

Because people were not just hungry, they were STARVING.

1939 – The First Food Stamp Program

The idea for the first Food Stamp Program (FSP) is credited to various people, most notably Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and the program's first Administrator Milo Perkins. The program operated by permitting people on relief to buy orange stamps equal to their normal food expenditures. For every $1 worth of orange stamps purchased, 50 cents worth of blue stamps were received. Orange stamps could be used to buy any food. Blue stamps could only be used to buy food determined by the Department to be surplus.

The first recipient was Mabel McFiggin of Rochester, New York on May 16, 1939. The first retailer to redeem the stamps was Joseph Mutolo, and the first retailer caught violating the program was Nick Salzano in October 1939. Over the course of nearly 4 years, the first FSP reached approximately 20 million people at one time or another in nearly half of the counties in the United States, peak participation was 4 million, at a total cost of $262 million. The program ended in the spring of 1943 "since the conditions that brought the program into being--unmarketable food surpluses and widespread unemployment--no longer existed."

"We got a picture of a gorge, with farm surpluses on one cliff and under-nourished city folks with outstretched hands on the other. We set out to find a practical way to build a bridge across that chasm."

Atlas Shrugged at the Edge of the Universe and New Moon in Libra Hangs in the Balance

 

At eight-twenty-four am EDT, the Nightsky Empress meets up with her golden paramour, the two, sun and moon infuse each other with their intelligence at 28°21’ in the sign of harmony and balance, Libra.

Harmony and balance, justice.

“Come on people now, smile on your brother everybody get together try and love one another right now.” ~ Youngbloods

On the scales of justice, everything hangs in the balance, and people are so divested and invested in their opposing belief’s on either side of the scales, it seems reconciling the pairs of opposites is a wild tale of two cities.

As the two heavenly lights stream into the end of Venusian sensualness, the autumn air is crisp in the northern hemisphere, leaves burning into brightly lit colours on magical display, ready to show off their brilliant hues.

The two major lights of the waters above stand in opposition to a 24°Chiron the wounded healer in close conjunction with a 25°Eris, sister of Ares and they are both in Aries, helping to add fuel in this opposition to one of the additional lights visiting us from interstellar space, 3I Atlas who made an exact conjunction to Mars at 7°Scorpio on October 3^rd, and is now still very much activating that fiery anger as Atlas screams through the sky at a wave shattering 130,000 miles per hour (209,000 kilometers per hour)!

Do you feel the need, the need for speed?

Chiron will bring up old wounds, create more discourse on HEALTH, debates will rattle the rafters as cognitive bias and intelligent minds cling to some truth and some occulted layers of coverup, some can’t bear to comprehend.
A wound indeed.  We all have them.  Once you heal that ancient, karmic wound, it can turn into the gift you came to give a strength you dare not comprehend.
While that ACTION is pushing the jets, especially those in late degrees of Libra, early (Scorpio!!!) and late degrees of Aries and early TAUrus, followed closely by late degrees of Cancer, and early Leo and late degrees of Capricorn and early Aquarius; especially as Pluto at 01° is forming a square to this new moon fusion as they all form a T square adding Jupiter at 24°Cancer to this tension field.

This does not make for a very relaxing or calming, let alone harmonious feeling.  More like bubbling molten lava seeking a release and wanting to explode onto the surface.

Let that be fair warning, this may not be the time to engage in conversation with those you may be experiencing acrimonious tensions with, as things can easily be triggered with the slightest breeze or exhalation.

It can be used positively to start the engines and get going on tasks that may have been shelved.
But having a discussion can turn heated quicker than you can see Epstein files.

It may not go gently, and neither party might be willing to make peace, or budge from their own position which they can have dug their heels.

Things can literally come to blows.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see this happen on the world stage.

Ever see Parliamentarians literally go after each other?

Yeah, that can happen in any Senate gathering, anywhere.

You might see things heat up on the nightly news, or even a talk show, depending on how capable they are of following the script, or controlling emotions period.
Especially when we add a retrograde Uranus at 00° Gemini, getting ready to plow back into TAUrus, and forming a very uncomfortable inconjunct to the two stellar, sun and moon.
Uranus being the ‘out of the blue’ planet of Great Awakening and Scorpio being the hidden power, waiting to burst forth its coiled energy and send its Serpents jutting out of their nest.

Where might this find easier expression?  Well, Uranus is in that long forming trine back to Pluto (Uh-oh, modern ruler of Scorpio and that hidden power below the surface) oh, and just for a little more fun, Pluto is Plutonium, as in Atomic Power.
But why only think about what’s under the surface when we also have an inconjunct to that Neptune (retrograde at 00°Aries) and Saturn (retrograde at 26° PIsces) from that sun and moon, forming a YOD, not to point fingers or anything, but quite literally, if we all don’t find some way to harmonize this energy, GET PAST THE BINARY PUERILE TRAP SO OBVIOUSLY BEING SET, we will all fall DIVIDED, when what we need to do, is figure out a way to become an U.S.
Interestingly, from both sides of the aisles we hear people proclaim and pound in angry and vitriolic voice their position that won’t budge and that it is the OTHER who cannot consider a different perspective.
Neither opening their binary minds or budging to think more complexly, and selectively parse through the fog of confusion, to find any common ground.
Yes, there is plenty to be concerned about.
But the way that the term ‘conspiracy theorist/theory’ has become a gilded eagle that dooms civil discourse, is doing nothing but leaving feathers flying and tempers flaring.

I can feel the internal shaking, as people warily shift their weight, all but throwing their body on the grenade of any sort of truth, should their herd, tribalistic chains break free and allow them to walk out of Plato’s Cave into the light of the truth, that would actually set them, set us all ~ FREE.

The daisy chains are lighting up and channeling the signals of the messengers, especially as Neptune readies to plunge back into her rulership in the deep ocean of PIsces at 5:50AM on the 22^nd, and our sun and moon are ready to dive into Scorpio and those deep Plutonic water with Lady Luna sinking in first on the day of the new moon at 11:41am followed the next day by the sun just before midnight, ten minutes to twelve.
On a good note, with the planets in air and water, the fiery element is lacking, as is the earth.
Now more than ever, you might want to practice ‘earthing’.
I have been going out and placing my bare feet on the ground, saying my prayers, honouring the directions, elements and Archangel’s in relationship, lighting a little smudge to help clear the energy to start a new day.
You can create your own morning ritual that works for you, but I strongly recommend connecting, feeling the ancient ones, your ancestors, your own roots and past and the living world we are blessed to experience with all the gratitude you can honestly feel.

The smells of the autumnal season are richly fragranting and falling around us, one thing where you might find gratitude and serenity.
Having a cup of coffee?  Take a longer time, inhale that heavenly and addictive aroma.  Cinamon toast?  Another wonderful intoxicant that delights the senses.

Wearing silk pajamas? Enjoy them, seriously take a minute to luxuriate in the gift from the silkworms, and the weavers who bent over, stitching them together, so YOU could experience that smooth, soft, feeling on your skin.

See the mums colouring your garden or porch, the bright orange squash and pumpkins encircled by the tree’s garments swirling off their soon to be naked branches.

Because, yes, there is also much sadness, a lot to grieve and so much that is disconcerting.
We must find our own ways not to avoid what is happening, that is foolishness, but to find comfort and slake the soul as she pushes her way into consciousness, and we not only SEE AND WITNESS what is happening, but focus on its directional shift, like the double-slit experiment.
We see the world’s shadows coming to light, we acknowledge them, feel the growth of awareness blooming within us as our own light, bears witness to the ‘fall’, and now is ready to rise again.

Rest, when necessary, drink the fresh water and languish in the thirst-quenching nourishment of the LIVING WATERS.

Be sure to have your supplies on hand, to handle this season too!

Mercury and Mars collude together at 20°Scorpio, calculating their latest ‘drop’ of time-released information set to hit the world stage.

The harvest is here, and we are all part of that synchronistic calculation.
3IAtlas will meet up with the sun on the 29^th and 30^th, depending on its variable speed (another oddity, but then, we only have three interstellar objects to determine this, so…) When 3I Atlas conjuncts the Sun on October 29/30th it will also be around 6 to 7 degrees Scorpio. (Tropical), that is just degrees away from this new moon, so once again we see this being a powerful punch, sending shock waves through the seas.
Just days ago, we had quite a few websites and internet sites go down.
We have no idea (since none of us have ever experienced the likes of what we are now navigating) what may happen.  NONE.
The vision I am given is one of fireworks going off everywhere at once.
Once again I hear the popcorn popper exploding kernels, only they are truths being cracked open, of our long buried past.
Comet Swan is so close to earth, it is now visible in the night sky, about an hour and a half after sunset, in the northwest, without the aid of binoculars.
And lest we forget A6Lemmon, he is in the Boötes Constellation with the brightest star being Arcturus (the 4^th brightest star in the sky).
In ancient Babylon, the stars of Boötes were known as SHU.PA. They were apparently depicted as the god Enlil, who was the leader of the Babylonian pantheon and special patron of farmers.

AI Swan is now considered to actually have a rotational orbit of 22,500 years which aligns basically with the last Age of Aquarius.
So, things have gone way past interesting if one is paying attention.

Another very good configuration is the Grand Water Trine between: Jupiter, Saturn, (wider Neptune) and that Mercury/Mars conjunction. 
That can help to smooth things over, and calm some stormy seas, if we tap into the power of WATER.
It can also turn on the faucets, and have people crying at the drop of a hat, but we all know, it is just the water under the bridge coming to the surface, since it never was truly dealt with honestly.
Get in the shower, meditate and let the waters reveal to you, your aching heart and soul, and allow the feelings buried under whatever script you told yourself, to be seen and heard BY YOU.  YOU TAKE YOURSELF INTO YOUR OWN ARMS AND BE KIND, BE YOUR OWN GOOD MOTHER.  YOU.
If you can’t find time for that, go to your sink, put a pinch of ArcAncient salts in the palm of your hand, cup it and add some water. The Finest Salts and Clays available with organic essential oils
Take your palm over your head and gently glide, saying kind words to release the pain, the sorrow, the negative energy and burdens you no longer want or need weighing you down.  Proceed over neck and shoulders.
Do this as many times a day, often as you feel the need.

The waters are within and without.  Reflecting back to us, all of who we are and who we came here to be.

Now for more on the asteroids.

I am going to repeat some information I didn’t share on this blog before, but will now.
First, let me tell you what I heard this afternoon while washing dishes.

(Water)

The asteroids come through space, 

and these are ‘interstellar’ 

and they refuel with our sun!  

That is what I heard!

It’s not much different than charging your phone, without plugging it in, or the card readers, or car readers where there is no connection.

That does not necessarily mean it is man-made, the sun charges our own planet, and all life because of intelligent design from the Divine Creator of all life.
It does not negate that either, it could be something sent out from US, in our distant past, or in the future in a time loop for that matter, through a black hole, anything is possible and we just don’t know…YET.
We have a clash of the old and new gods taking place, of old and new governments on our own planet, between countries.
The hubris of the US, is to think we will be in power, we have all the power and we will always be in power.
People ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
I’VE GONE INTO THIS EXTENSIVELY IN PAST BLOGS, GOING BACK DECADES.
And all that said, here is a brief bit on the current three asteroids:

Astronomers have obtained new images of the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS that reveal a new feature: the fastest comet ever observed has now grown a tail.

The new observations add to the growing body of evidence that supports 3I/ATLAS’s identity as an INTERSTELLAR comet, amid speculatios that include whether the object could represent a probe or other technological artifact produced by an intelligent alient civilization.

A Tail and a Glowing Coma

The discovery of the comet’s tail was made during analysis ofimages obtained by the Gemini South telescope, (Uranus is Retrograde in Gemini for further context) located in the Chilean Andes.

In addition to the comet’s gassy tail, the images also showed 3IATLAS’s glowing coma, or halo of dust and gas encircling it. 

As the comet’s icy nucleus warms as it moves closer to the Sun, material on its surface is baked off, producing the coma and tail—both of which are hallmarks of active comets.  

Discovered on July 1, 2025, 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object known to have made its way through our Solar System, following in the wake of a pair of equally unusual space objects, 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017, and Comet 2I/Borisov in 2019.

Clocking in with an estimated diameter of around 3.5 miles, 3I/ATLAS is large, but poses no threat to Earth, and is expected to make its closest pass on its way past Mars next month before it exits our solar system and resumes its interstellar journey.

Former gods

The Titans, as a group, represent a pre-Olympian order. Hesiod uses the expression "the former gods" (theoi proteroi) in reference to the Titans. They were the banished gods, who were no longer part of the upper world. Rather they were the gods who dwelt underground in Tartarus, and as such, they may have been thought of as "gods of the underworld", who were the antithesis of, and in opposition to, the Olympians, the gods of the heavens. Hesiod called the Titans "earth-born" (chthonic), and in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo, Hera prays to the Titans "who dwell beneath the earth", calling on them to aid her against Zeus, just as if they were chthonic spirits. In a similar fashion, in the Iliad, Hera, upon swearing an oath by the underworld river Styx, "invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans" as witnesses. ~Wikipedia

The name Atlas has its roots in Greek mythology, where Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the sky for eternity. The name is believed to derive from the Ancient Greek word "atlantos," meaning "enduring," which echoes the Titan's eternal punishment and strength. Over time, the name has also become associated with maps and cartography, as the first collection of maps was often personified with the image of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders. This dual association with both strength and the breadth of the world gives the name a rich etymological background and a literal meaning tied to endurance and support. Atlas originates from Ancient Greek mythology and language, with no direct derivations from Latin or other Indo-European languages. The name's linguistic background is predominantly tied to the Greek word "atlantos," which emphasizes endurance. This mythological and linguistic origin places Atlas firmly within the realm of ancient Greek culture, with no direct derivations from Latin or other Indo-European languages, although its use in later Latin texts and cartography has broadened its cultural and linguistic reach. While Atlas does not have direct religious significance, its mythological roots imbue it with cultural and spiritual meanings related to the themes of burden, responsibility, and the human condition. In various cultural contexts, Atlas symbolizes the strength to endure challenges and the breadth of human knowledge and exploration.

The etymology of the name Atlas is uncertain. Virgil translated etymologies of Greek names by combining them with adjectives that explained them: for Atlas his adjective is durus, "hard, enduring", which suggested to George Doig that Virgil was aware of the Greek τλῆναι "to endure"; Doig offers the further possibility that Virgil was aware of Strabo's remark that the native North African name for this mountain was Douris. Since the Atlas Mountains rise in the region inhabited by Berbers, it has been suggested[clarification needed][citation needed] that the name might be taken from one of the Berber languages, specifically from the word ádrār "mountain".~ Wikipedia

Atlas and his brother Menoetius sided with the Titans in their war against the Olympians, the Titanomachy. When the Titans were defeated, many of them (including Menoetius) were confined to Tartarus, but Zeus condemned Atlas to stand at the western edge of the earth and hold up the sky on his shoulders. Thus, he was Atlas Telamon, "enduring Atlas", and became a doublet of Coeus, the embodiment of the celestial axis around which the heavens revolve.

Figure 1 3I Atlas Physics doesn't work anymore

A common misconception today is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but Classical art shows Atlas holding the celestial spheres, not the terrestrial globe; the solidity of the marble globe borne by the Farnese Atlas may have aided the conflation, reinforced in the 16th century by the developing usage of atlas to describe a corpus of terrestrial maps.

Alternatively or additionally:

Atlas was one of the most famous Titans, the son of Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia (or, possibly, Clymene). He was the leader of the Titan rebellion against Zeus, and he got a fitting punishment after the end of the Titanomachy: he was condemned to eternally hold up the sky. Only once, and for a very brief period, he was bereaved of this burden by Heracles. Perseus, probably using Medusa’s head, turned him into the stony Atlas Mountains.

According to Hesiod, Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. However, some – disagreeing with him – say that his mother was another sea nymph named Asia. Either way, he had three brothers (Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius) and possibly as many wives.

 

By Pleione, he had eight daughters: the goddess-nymph Calypso and the seven Pleiades (Alcyone, Asterope, Electra, Caleano, Taygete, Merope and Hermes’ mother, Maia). Another Oceanid, Aethra, bore him few more daughters, the Hyades, and his only son, Hyas. Finally, according to some, the Hesperides were also Atlas’ daughters, out of his marriage with Hesperis.

 

Since, obviously, Atlas wasn’t allowed to move one bit – and not many people knew where his dwelling place was – the only myths he’s in include two of Greek’s greatest heroes reaching him at the end of the earth.

 

The Titanomachy and Atlas’ Punishment

Iapetus’ sons took the opposing sides during the Titanomachy: while Prometheus and Epimetheus decided to help Zeus, Atlas and his brother Menoetius sided with the Titans. In time, Atlas even managed to become the leader of the rebellion, but that didn’t end up too well for him in the long run, since it got him the most severe punishment after the defeat of the Titans.

Namely, Atlas was condemned to hold up the heavens for all eternity, standing at 

the furthest west edges of the earth near the garden of his daughters, the Hesperides. 

Some say that the sky was placed directly on his shoulders. Others, however, are more merciful, claiming that Atlas actually holds the two pillars which keep the earth and the sky apart.

The first of them was Heracles, who, after having two of his original ten labors invalidated, was tasked with bringing Eurystheus few of the Hesperidean golden apples. Heracles smartly offered Atlas to switch roles with him so that the Titan could fetch the apples from his daughters himself, causing no fuss or drawing unnecessary attention from Ladon, the dragon-guardian of the apples.

Atlas did just that but had a plan of his own – to deliver the apples himself to Eurystheus and then, of course, forget all about Heracles and his old job. Heracles, however, outsmarted the gullible Titan, agreeing to the plan but asking him to hold for him the sky first so that he could adjust himself in a more comfortable position. Instead, Heracles just seized the golden apples and never looked back.

Heracles’ encounter with Atlas is retold in the fifth chapter of the second book of Apollodorus’ “Library,” while his transformation into a mountain range is narrated by Ovid in the fourth book of his “Metamorphoses.”

3I/Atlas is NOT FROM OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

(3 means the 3rd ever found of I which means INTERSTELLAR, ATLAS is the telescope station where it was found.
The 3I/ATLAS comet was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on July 1, 2025, at its station in Río Hurtado, Chile.

This of course relates to Atlas being sent to the furthest west edges of the earth near the garden of his daughters.

It took a billion years for Atlas to encounter our solar system.
Why?

3I/ATLAS was officially discovered in early July, but it had already been in our skies, hiding in plain sight. It was simply too faint to notice.

Researchers dug through images from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and found that the object had actually appeared as early as May.

The experts looked at a part of the sky where the planets of our solar system orbit. That just happened to be the path 3I/ATLAS took on its journey through.

The team used a clever trick. They filtered out the glow from nearby stars, then stacked multiple images from different moments to sharpen the view. That’s how they spotted 3I/ATLAS with a surprising level of clarity.

Clues to alien chemistry

The early signs of activity were unexpected. Normally, comets only start to release gas and dust as they get close to the Sun. That’s what forms the glowing tail we see.

But 3I/ATLAS began showing activity much farther out – well before it came anywhere near the Sun’s heat.

This tells scientists that the interstellar object isn’t behaving like comets in our solar system. It’s likely made of different materials, such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

These substances can evaporate at lower temperatures than water. The discovery gives scientists new insight into how other solar systems might work.

Studying 3I/ATLAS before it disappears

Since it was found, astronomers across the globe have rushed to gather data on the object before it slips away for good. It will only be visible for a few more months before it’s out of reach – even for the most powerful telescopes on Earth.

The research was led by scientists at Michigan State University. They published their first paper about 3I/ATLAS just days after it was discovered.

“There are so few interstellar objects that we’ve detected in our solar system, and they each seem to be unique,” said Adina Feinstein, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy. “3I/ATLAS gives us an opportunity to study other solar systems up close and personal, without actually needing to visit them.”

Feinstein normally uses TESS data to search for exoplanets – planets that orbit stars far away. “As soon as I realized 3I/ATLAS should be in these TESS images, I downloaded them as quickly as I could,” she said.

What makes this interstellar comet different

The object’s full name – 3I/ATLAS – comes from two things. The “3I” means it’s the third known interstellar object. The “ATLAS” part refers to the telescope network that spotted it – NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System.

The more scientists studied the comet, the more unusual it seemed. It showed early signs of activity that point to a different chemical makeup than we’re used to seeing.

“That gives us an idea of what comets and asteroids could be made of in systems beyond our own Sun,” Feinstein said. “It’s always been assumed that other systems are different from ours, but now we have evidence of how different they might be.”

John Noonan, a postdoctoral fellow at Auburn University, said it’s crucial to find telescope images from before the comet was officially spotted.

“Capturing as many observations from this prediscovery period, where 3I/ATLAS may be in telescope images but wasn’t previously identified, is essential to our understanding of how these objects ‘turn on’ as they approach our Sun,” said Noonan.

“These interstellar objects have likely not been warmed significantly in millions – if not billions – of years, and any opportunity to see how they responded to that early heating is of interest.”

Searching for cosmic answers

The team plans to keep studying 3I/ATLAS as long as it’s visible. They’re using every tool they can – including NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope – to figure out exactly what it’s made of and how it behaves.

In fact, astrophysicists across the world are working quickly to observe the comet and publish new findings.

The research also shows how missions like TESS – originally meant for studying stars and planets – can help answer bigger questions. Datasets from these missions are massive, and with the right approach, they can reveal surprises like this.
