Secondly:

• One of Schwarzenegger's nicknames happens to be 'The Olympian' (he won the 'Mr. Olympia' bodybuilding competition six times).
• Venus - or Lucifer the 'light bearer' - has an orbital period of 225 earth-days. The Athens Olympic Games, the destination of the torch, will begin on the 225th day of the year 2004 [after Jan. 1] - August 13.

Thirdly:

• The name 'Cairo' denotes Mars, and both Mars and the Great Sphinx at Giza were thought to have been a form of Horus in ancient Egypt.
• The California 'Total Recall election' last summer/fall coincided with Mars coming historically close to Earth (closest in 60,000 years), peaking around August 27. The film Total Recall, featuring Schwarzenegger, is all about Mars.

And so naturally I decided there was good enough reason to check the position of the Sun as seen from Giza/Cairo at the moment of the LA (Simi Valley) sunset (~8 pm local).

I quickly fired up my Starry Night Pro program and reproduced the Californian sunset as seen on June 11. I then instructed the program to jump to Cairo. What emerged next was both shocking and satisfying.

The Sun was rising right at the horizon of Cairo/Giza!

Hence came the inevitable conclusion: the 'rise of Horus/Schwarzenegger' was designed to be 'acknowledged' by the Egyptian/'Martian' sunrise at Giza/Cairo - coinciding perfectly with the fall of Osiris, the sunset, taking place at Simi Valley/LA!

I found this mind-boggling. The level of sophistication and precision demonstrated by the design/coordination was off the scale. (We wonder who could set all this up so perfectly.) This was a powerful 'passing of the torch' ritual indeed.

The 'ritual' didn't end there, of course.

Technically speaking, the Olympic torch and the sunrise at Giza/Cairo didn't literally coincide. That's because the 'Antichristic' sunrise found above took place on the morning of June 12 (a day 'ahead' of California due to the time-zone difference) while the torch was passing by Giza on June 11 local time. Between June 11 and 12, the torch was actually traveling from Cairo to Cape Town at the southern tip of Africa.

As the illustration above shows, the torch's movement from June 11 to 12 closely followed the course of the Nile river.

The Nile is an unusually 'vertical' river that flows northward from the equator to Giza/Cairo (30°N latitude). It can easily be seen as a meridian - a longitudinal line - carved directly on the earth's surface.

Now consider the following: Today's official International Prime Meridian is the longitude going through Greenwich; more esoterically the Zero/Prime Meridian would be the one going through Paris, sometimes called the 'Rose Line' and associated with the Grail/messianic bloodline; and an even more esoteric Zero Meridian would be the one going through or near the Great Pyramid of Giza. Even beyond that - i.e. the most 'esoteric' - would be the 'Nile anchor meridian', 33°E longitude, of the 'Time River scheme' revealed in my book, The Time Rivers. {The latter two are close enough to make no difference in our discussion here.)

In other words, the longitudinal line marked by the Nile is a form of esoteric 'Zero Meridian'. This then relates right back to the earlier Longinus/Spear of Destiny discussion stemming from the Super Bowl/Pepsi-ad symbolism, and linked to the Transit of Venus, the Messianic bloodline, and, as noted before:

Birth of Horus, birth of Antichrist - that would probably the strongest concept conveyed by all this.

Now let us review the key points made earlier:

• "What I find particularly interesting here is the potential connection between the term 'longitude' and the name 'Longinus'. I don't think it's a mere coincidence that Longinus is associated with a lance, i.e. a straight line... such as a longitudinal line (meridian), especially since Jesus' blood/bloodline is esoterically associated with a meridian called 'Rose Line' (more or less equated with the Paris Zero Meridian). And this certainly increases the symbolic depth of the longitudinal celestial alignment formed around the spring equinox..."
• "...I saw the name of the area where Opportunity landed - 'Meridiani Planum'. That is, 'Meridian Plane' - so called because the site is near the Prime Meridian, or longitude zero, of Mars! Very unexpected, but this certainly seems to confirm my symbolic interpretation regarding Longinus, i.e. the relevance of longitude zero/Prime Meridian/Rose Line."

And this:

Because Mary Magdalene, or Isis the sister-wife of Osiris, is traditionally identified with Venus and the breast is decidedly a feminine symbol, we can easily interpret the Sun nipple-ring on Janet's breast as signifying the Sun covering Venus. And the direct conjunction of Sun and Venus is exactly what will take place on June 8 this year!

The above connection is intensified by the following:

• Breasts produce milk. [...]
• The Transit of Venus takes place at the edge of the Milky Way.

What I didn't point out earlier is that the Venus transit of June 8, a rare Sun-Venus union, actually took place very near the galactic 'Prime Meridian' - i.e. the longitude zero (or 180°) of the sky grid based on the Milky Way! But the real punch line here is this: Venus crossed the galactic meridian more precisely on June 11, the very day of Reagan's funeral!

We thus have the following, amazing set of ritualistic 'coincidences':

• June 11: Sunset at LA (Simi Valley) signifying the death of Reagan/Osiris
• June 11: Sunrise taking place simultaneously at Cairo/Giza signifying the rise of Schwarzenegger/Horus
• June 11 (local time): The Olympic torch passing through Cairo/Giza, 'commemorating' the rise of Arnold aka 'The Olympian'
• June 11-12: The Olympic torch traveling along the Nile, an esoteric Prime Meridian
• June 11: Venus crossing the galactic Prime Meridian

(Note: Venus crossed the galactic meridian earlier on May 8/9 also, which closely coincided with the release of the 'shock & awe' video showing the beheading of Nick Berg whose body was found on May 8.)

Well, this is still not the end of the 'ritual' design. The next 'magical coincidence' would represent the final nail in the coffin.

Get this:

• On June 16, the Olympic torch came to Los Angeles, a prominent city in Arnold's state, California, and approximately where Reagan's funeral was held
• On the same day, a film called Around the World in 80 Days opened in which Schwarzenegger makes an appearance
• The title 'Around the World in 80 Days' evokes the Olympic torch 'going around the world'
• In the film, Arnold's character - a Turkish prince - is called 'Hapi'. In ancient Egypt, Hapi was the god of the Nile! More specifically Hapi personified the annual inundation of the Nile which in turn signified the revitalization of Osiris (also a Nile god), i.e. the birth of Horus!

So, clearly, this is a super-ritual... at the center of which is Arnold Schwarzenegger. All the indications are that Arnie is destined to 'change the world' - or at least the New World - in the near future by playing the role of Horus, Messiah, and/or 'Antichrist'.

Countdown To Final Solution

Osirian resurrection, Horus, Giza, Mars, Venus, meridian, Olympics... It is truly uncanny how coherently these major themes interact with X-72, one of Nostradamus' most famous quatrains:

Quatrain X-72
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effrayeur:
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois,
Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.
The year 1999 seven months,
From the sky will come a great King of terror:
To bring back to life the great King of Angolmois,
Before after Mars to reign by good luck

My interpretation of X-72 was first presented in September '98 in an article titled 1999: Final Solution. Since then it's been updated somewhat but the basic elements remained unchanged and consistent - something quite normal for me but a rare phenomenon in the largely foresight-less field of prophetic interpretation.

Among other things, I have shown how X-72 was very much applicable to the 9/11 'terror' event - the date of '1999 seven months' being calendrically analogous to '2001 September', etc. - in my post-9/11 articles such as The Labour of the Sun (February 15, '02), Rex Deux (March 11, '02) and The Message of Cycle 23 (May 24, '02).

Here let me first point out that:

• Osiris is called the 'Lord of Terror' in the Book of the Dead
• The Great Sphinx, a form of Horus/Mars, is also known as 'Father of Terror'
• Mars, directly mentioned in line 4, can be viewed as the 'king of terror' in that its two moons are named 'Phobos' and 'Deimos', both basically meaning 'terror'
• The 'resurrection' theme appears in line 3, coming right after the phrase 'King of terror'
• As for 'Angolmois' (line 3), there was a province in south-east France called 'Angoumois' where today we find 'Angouleme', a city notable for being at longitude 0 deg.

Let me next bring your attention to the fact that in 1999: Final Solution one of the big pieces of the puzzle used to solve the quatrain riddle was Cassini - a NASA space probe sent to Saturn in the late '90s.

Back in 1998/1999, I focused on the fact that Cassini, launched in Oct '97, was about to come back from the inner solar system to make an earth-flyby on Aug. 18, 1999. I associated it with the 'king of terror' said to come 'from the sky' a la Quatrain X-72 especially since Saturn is in many ways the Greco-Roman version of Osiris, the god of resurrection and the 'once and future king'.

Well, the Cassini mission is heating up again today. The probe is about to reach its destination on July 1, '04 - now just days away! So combined with the symbolic implications already mentioned, this ominous timing makes it clear that the quatrain is becoming very much relevant again.

Furthermore, in 1999: Final Solution I associated X-72 with another quatrain, IV-28, i.e. the quatrain apparently alluding to the Transit of Venus. As I wrote back then ('98):

Now, what's interesting..., coming back to IV-28, is that Venus is to be "covered by the sun"... in August 1999 - the very timeframe suggested by X-72. And it's when Cassini’s Earth-flyby occurs. Only roughly 60 days before the Earth-flyby, Cassini’s Venus-flyby occurs (June 20, ’99), and consequently, Cassini is to approach from the "direction of Venus" and be "temporarily hidden by the sun". The match between this and the IV-28 information is quite uncanny, and it brings together IV-28 and X-72.

So obviously you cannot say that my quatrain interpretations are done in hindsight since much of what's emerging today was conceptually anticipated years ago. And the pattern discerned through the quatrains seems to be approaching some kind of climax at the present time.

The significance of the timing is hard to miss. Cassini's arrival on July 1 closely coincides with the 'handover' of Iraq, scheduled for June 30, (the last day of month). It represents a politically intense day and a source of much violence going on today. So this coincidence is quite ominous.

Further increasing the gravity of the timing is the fact that Venus will be crossing the galactic meridian in early July again. (Venus is going back and forth in that region during this period.) The meridian crossing will occur on July 4 - Independence Day. This could be viewed as a key date especially when added that the crossing point's galactic latitude will be -19.5 degrees, an angle said to be the 'Holy Grail' message found geometrically encoded on the surface of Mars (Cydonia).

Related to the above are the following key dates of late June:

• The summer solstice, June 20/21, is obviously a key date for our themes.

• June 24, the John the Baptist day, is another key date - Schwarzenegger being a form of John/Oak King, associated with decapitation, and all.

• Cassini's Venus flyby in 1999 before heading toward Earth took place on June 24.

• The date of Reagan's funeral, June 11, representing a big 'Osirian Resurrection' day, is calendrically analogous to June 24 since there is a 13-day difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars. (June 11 + 13 days = June 24)

It may also be relevant that June 24 is calendrically interchangeable with July 7, separated by 13 days...

As for what can happen during this window covering late June and early July, I'll just basically repeat the potential events projected in The Lucifer Time Code: Part 1:

• Major development involving or associated with 9/11 and/or Iraq.

• Major event that has to do with the fall/exit of one or more of the 'Babylon leaders' (which include figures such as, and those closely associated with, Bush/Cheney, Blair, Sharon, and particularly the Pope).

• Major announcement concerning Mars, such as the discovery of life or present water of Mars.

• Major event involving Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or other Horus ('Antichristic') figures.

• Some kind of nuclear event.

These themes are likely to continue beyond the June-July window and into the latter part of 2004. The Athens Olympic Games in August is obviously a key event in all this. There is also going to be a very significant celestial configuration in September. And of course we'll have that presidential election in November...

I must also say that the issue of the 'Patriot Act' is likely to be a big part of what's coming in the near future. Sparks may begin to fly by late June as Michael Moore's powerful documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11, opening on June 25, will force this controversial issue to go further mainstream. The question is: Did the triumph of the Patriots in this year's Super Bowl foreshadow the triumph of the Patriot Act, or did it foreshadow the triumph of the real patriots, i.e. the defeat of the Patriot Act? While not very clear at this point, signs leans toward the former.

In any case, these topics will be discussed in future installments of The Lucifer Time Code.

A uniquely eventful period in history is upon us... Stay tuned.

 Versiculo que esta en clave. INTERRELACIONA BABILONIA (BABYLON EN INGLES-BABY ES BEBE) CON LA IGLESIA/MARIA MAGDALENA Y JUAN MARCOS. OBVIAMENTE PEDRO LE LLAMA "MI HIJO" EN UN CONTEXTO A QUE EL MISMO FUE HIJO DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO Y MARIA MAGDALENA. ¿PORQUE EL FUERTE NEXO JUAN MARCOS CON PEDRO?

Another proof the Modern/Roman calendar can't be right is that all time keeping instruments must have a starting point. If the starting point for dates is an arbitrary earthly one, such as the International Date Line (I.D.L.) instead of the heavenly conjunctions of the greater and lessor lights. You will have Friday the sixth day of the week on one side of the line and Saturday the seventh day of the week on the other side, and both sides of the line are in the same evening and morning.

It would be preparation day as the evening arrives on one side of the line, and the Shabbat day on the other side, a whole day apart. Then when one side of the line keeps the Shabbat and the other side keeps the preparation, the next day the other side of the line will keep it's Shabbat as the evening begins and the Shabbat will be over on the other side of the street at the same evening and they will go back to work on Sunday. One side will be working and the other keeping the Shabbat. Ask yourself; can the day be Qodesh on one side of the street and not on the other??? Only with man's calendar does this happen.

You do not have this problem with the Heavenly calendar of YaHuWaH because the starting point is in Heaven. For example, if both sides of the I.D.L. are looking at the moon and count six workdays and rest on the seventh, then as it gets dark, both sides will be keeping the same day; and both sides will be Qodesh to YaHuWaH.

Let us imagine the I.DL. running through Israel. Now, imagine Israelites camping on either side of the line. On one side, it will be the Shabbat day and on the other, it will be the preparation day. YaHuWuH does not work like that, because He is not the author of confusion. The Shabbat is the Shabbat for all His people when the evening starts. Can you imagine the day being Qodesh on one side of the camp and not the other???

Now, let us examine the currently accepted seven-day cycle. People Assume the weeks are Solar, when in fact they are Lunar. The Scriptures never mention a seven-day cycle. It is more a pattern of rest after six workdays, and the New moon is not one of the six work days. To prove the cycle wrong all one has to do is think. The earth is said to spin around once every twenty-four hours, causing a cycle. If someone were to walk east toward the sun while someone else stayed still, then the one walking would meet the sun earlier and earlier each day than the one sitting still. The one walking east would gradually gain time until they get 10 hours, 15 hours, and 24 hours ahead of the ones sitting still, a full cycle ahead.

Now if the one walking travels around the Earth, back to where the one standing still is, he will have gained one whole day, or cycle, because he made an extra cycle around the Earth while the other sat still and waited each day for the sun to rise. The traveler actually gained a sunrise at the end of the journey around the Earth, even if it took twenty years to complete.

This is a fact that cannot be denied. Now, given this fact, people keeping the earth's cycle by an earthly calendar that was introduced by Julius Cesar and it’s Modern I.D.L., have serious problems. If half of a group of people decides to go into the world to evangelize, and they migrate around the world keeping the seven-day cycle, when they meet up with the other half of the tribe twenty years later, or their descendants 2,000 years later, they would be one day apart in their Shabbat keeping, even though they have the same calendar and neither missed a beat on the seven-day so-called cycle.

Would you expect the travelers to go back around the world to get on the same day as the others? Or, would you expect them to deny the cycle of six workdays counting the New moon as one of them and just get back with the other half by losing a day and change the cycle they kept the last twenty years, or their ancestors did for the last 2,000 years?

If someone left Israel and traveled east around the world and came again from the west, they would be keeping the Shabbat a day ahead of the ones that stayed. This would not have been noticed if everyone in Israel had migrated around the world and came back because they were keeping the seven-day cycle and no one could tell them they were in another day, and both days could not be the day that YaHuWaH rested in the beginning.

You can prove all this by picturing two people on a merry-go-round, which would represent the Earth spinning and someone counting each time they came around. This counting person represents the sun. Now, if one person is sitting on the merry-go-round and the other walks toward the way they are spinning, the one walking will see and pass the person watching and counting, before the one sitting. The one walking sees the counter sooner and sooner and when the one walking gets back to where the one is sitting; the one walking will have been counted one more time as they passed the counter, which is representing the sun, in the same way as people migrate around the Earth. By keeping this cycle and this calendar; it is possible for 3 people to keep 3 different days as the Shabbat, and all be right according to the so-called Modern/Roman man made cycle. This is not so with the moon and the true cycles. The way you get 3 different Shabbats is if one went east and another west and the other stood still, one would gain a day the other would lose a day or revolution and the one would stay the same, making 3 different Shabbats.

People's minds are so conditioned to a seven-day weekly cycles, in the stead of the yearly cycle of 365 and 1/4 days broken by intermissions called Shabbats; they are worship days along with the New moon worship days. The year of 365 1/4 days which is broken up with days, or worship with no buying and selling.

The new moon is a worship day of no buying and selling but it is not a complete intermission/Shabbat. We have scripture where they traveled on that day. Moshe was commanded to set up the tabernacle on that day, it is the dark beginning of the month when Moshe reared up the tabernacle on earth, being a type or pattern of the dark beginning when YaHuWaH reared up his tabernacle in heaven and created heaven and earth.  Moshe was commanded to do the very same that YaHuWaH showed him in the Mount. Exo 40:1  And YaHuWaH spoke to Moshe, saying, Exo 40:2  On the first day of the month, on the first of the month, you shall raise up the tent of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Both Tabernacles were reared up on the dark New moon day or Rosh Chodesh (the Qodesh head or beginning). Therefore, the building of the Heavenly Tabernacle in the darkness and the repeat rebuilding days of the New moon from Conjunction area are parallel. This is the evidence that is needed in order to establish that Rosh Chodesh is reckoned from the evidence of the first sliver of a New moon, and not from the full moon as some have put forth. We also know that the rebuilding period for the moon can be up to about two and one half days.

YaHuWaH did rest the seventh day, or after the six workdays, but from the beginning it was the Eighth SEQUENCE OF EVENTS that He rested.  YaHuWaH created the Heaven and the Earth, end of conjunction of all things contained in Him creation being created out of and from the place of the Olam haba.  This was Before He made things on the earth on those six days. Everything was dark on that day, and it is a worship day before the first workday of the week just as in the beginning at creation when the Sons of YaHuWaH shouted (shouting and or trumpeting) for joy and applauded His handy work. Job 38:6  On what were its bases sunk? Or who cast its cornerstone, Job 38:7  when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohiym shouted for joy?  

The Scripture teaches that they were without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep/waters. All this was before the first work day. Then the Ruach of YaHuWaH moved upon the face of the waters, and said, "Let there be light," but the heaven and earth was already here “before” He divided the light, (which He calls day) from the darkness, (which He calls night), then the evening and morning were the first workday, but before that, there was a dark earth and a dark Heaven with a dark moon in it, and as it is called in "With beginning" (Bo Reshiyth).

The first day on Creation would represent a type of the first work day and the first light from darkness; hence the first day after the first sliver. The first day would also represent a type of Equinox, more specifically a vernal equinox. Elohiym always was in the Olam haba (the place where He was before Creation, a timeless place); The Word was Him and was with Him, the Light, or for better reference the first sliver of light as a type of Rosh Chodesh ( The bringing forth of the word from conjunction with Him). In other words the very 1^st work day in creation could have been the 1^st Work Day of the year, the 1^st work day of the Month or moon, And the 1^st work day of the Week, and NOT the first work day of the week ONLY as some teach; hence Bo reyshiyth, translated as “with beginning”.

Day two the second work day. Day three the third work day.

The fourth day - the fourth work day, the day of the appointing of the moon and the sun, the moon, three days before first quarter. Remember you had evening and morning, evening and morning, evening and morning, before day four. You also had light, green things, night and day, creation of the Heavens, etc. before He made/appointed the sun and moon to rule and for the calendar. If the 4th work day of the week was also the 4th work day of the month, then the 7^th day would be after the six work days and the 8th day of the month. So one can see there should have been a dark New moon before the 1^st work day in the beginning when the heavens were dark. And even if there was not a dark New moon before the 1st work day, there would be one in the 2nd month in creation.

The fifth day was the fifth work day. The sixth day - the sixth work day, and the creation of man. Then the Shabbat, this would be a type of first quarter.

Nowhere in the scriptures does it say YaHuWaH created (Bara) the Heavens and the Earth in six days. It does say for in six days YaHuWaH made (yasar) Heaven and Earth. (See Exodus 20:11; Exo 20:11  For in six days YaHuWaH  made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all which is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; on account of this YaHuWaH blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it. )

The period of days between the last sliver of moon light and the rebuilding to the first sliver of New moon light can vary between one and two and one half days. This therefore, breaks up the so-called continuous cycle of sevens of man’s calendar.

The same Hebrew word for in the beginning of your months is the same Hebrew word for in the beginning when YaHuWaH created the heavens and earth or set up his tabernacle (Num 28:11 almost the same root; Num 28:11  And in the beginnings⁷²¹⁸ of your months²³²⁰ ye shall offer⁷¹²⁶ a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ unto YaHuWaH;³⁰⁶⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ young^{1121, 1241} bullocks,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and one²⁵⁹ ram,³⁵² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ lambs³⁵³² of the first¹¹²¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ without spot;⁸⁵⁴⁹ ; Deu 11:12 is exact same root; Deu 11:12  A land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ YaHuWaH³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohiym⁴³⁰ careth¹⁸⁷⁵ for the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of YaHuWaH³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohiym⁴³⁰ are always⁸⁵⁴⁸ upon it, from the beginning^{4480, 7225} of the year⁸¹⁴¹ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the end³¹⁹ of the year.⁸¹⁴¹ ).  It is not a complete rest but it is a day of worship with no buying and selling, therefore it is not one of the six ordinary workdays of the week. Ezekial 46:1 “the gate of YaHuWaH’s house is to be shut the six workdays of the week but is to be opened on the Shabbat and day of the New moon”

We are commanded to blow the Chatsotserah (silver trumpets) in the “beginning” of our months (Num 10:10  And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in your new moons, you shall blow the Chatsotserah-trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. And they shall be to you for a memorial before your Elohiym. I am YaHuWaH your Elohiym. ) and we are also commanded to blow the Chatsotserah and Shofars on the Shabbat which is a miqra (Qodesh assembly) which is AFTER six days of NOT blowing the Chatsotserah. It is a fact that the Chataotserah and Shofars are to be blown on these days throughout the 365 and 1/4 days each year but NOT on the six ordinary workdays as Ezekiel 46:1 proves.  The Chatsotserah (silver trumpets) are only to be blown on the special days that YaHuWaH made special such as New Moon, Shabbats, and the different feast days throughout the 365 and 1/4 day year.

The bottom line is, the cycle of the 365 1/4 work day year is interrupted with worship days of YaHuWaH. This interrupts what most people call a weekly cycle (seven day cycle), but the intermission worship day (Rosh Chodesh) is not of the cycle. Roah Chodesh followed by a count of six workdays then worship (sabbath) is a pattern and not a cycle; no more than the Roman eight day week that was a cycle every 8 days before they adopted this seven day so-called cycle.

It has also been brought up by some that 12 months x 30 days = 360, and this may well have been so before the flood. However, for there to be dew to water the ground and no rain, the rotational period of the earth would have had to have been faster. Then after the flood, rain occurred because the moisture had risen up higher into the atmosphere because the rotational period had changed to 365 ¼ days, thereby decreasing gravity and allowing for more breakup in the clouds and rain. The second Adar is added to compensate for an accumulation of several years of the extra 5 ¼ days; this did not however change the pattern of the Shabbat.

Eridanus es la sexta constelación más grande de las 88 constelaciones modernas. También es una de las 48 constelaciones de Ptolomeo.

En su extremo austral está la estrella de primera magnitud Achernar (α Eri). Achernar es una estrella muy peculiar porque es una de las estrellas más planas conocidas. Las observaciones indican que su radio es casi 50% más largo en el ecuador que en los polos. Esto se debe a que la estrella rota a gran velocidad.
