THE DOGS OF HEAVEN

(This article is based on the original German version by Karl-Heinz Homann)

Sirius, canis major - the "big dog" and Procyon, canis minor - the "little dog". The origin of these terms can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian culture, who understood their importance and relation to the zodiac.

Both of these star systems are unique in our stellar neighborhood, since each of them has a white dwarf. The Sirius system is approx. 8.6 light years away from us while the distance to the Procyon System is approx. 11.3 light-years. The interesting thing is that Procyon is only about 4.5 light years distant from Sirius. Considering how the Sirius system with its approx. 3 solar masses together with the Procyon System with its approx. 2 solar masses, produce a tremendous curvature of space, one must ask what should prevent our sun from falling into place - forming perhaps a long-orbit triple star system? According to the latest findings about 90 % of all stars have one or several partners. Hence, the question is not unjustified. In our case, the orbit of Procyon would be situated about halfway between Sun and Sirius.

What do we really know about the true structure of the universe and about gravity? Maybe our Sun orbits around a lot more solar masses than we presume. One can not classify everything according to Newton, making assumption about masses of stellar objects based on the observed orbital velocities and distances. Newton’s laws fail to explain the problem why the outer stars of galaxies are not escaping. How much longer will the search for the over 90% missing matter continue to justify the misconceived “Big Bang” model? Or does the Big Bang with its phantom matter only serve as a pretext to safeguard the jobs of astronomers for generations to come?

The southern polar axis of the Earth is oriented towards Sirius’ and Procyon’s common center of gravity. The following series of events occurred at the beginning of 1989 when Sirius B in its almost vertical orbit around Sirius A, as seen from Earth, passed through the conjunction line between Sirius A and our Sun:

1. Pluto, the outermost planet, went through its perihelion of its highly eccentric orbit which lies within Neptune’s orbital path and is inclined by approx. 17 ° relative to the general planetary plane. Pluto’s orbit is oriented towards the common center of gravity between Procyon and Sirius. It is remarkable that the orbital relationship between Pluto (248.02172 tropical years) and Sirius B (49.6 years) is almost 5 to 1. Also, the approx. 17 ° deviation and direction seem to have a strange relationship to the 16.6° declination of Sirius with respect to the celestial equator.

2. On 1 March 1989, as a change from the negative to the positive time-deviation occurred during the measurements of the transit times relative to Sirius, Neptune and Saturn came also into conjunction with Sirius A, Sirius B and the Sun, almost aligned with Uranus. At the time, Jupiter was on the other side of the Sun. John N. Harris, an expert on Babylonian astronomy, the Exponential Planetary Framework and Resonant Synodic phenomena of celestial objects, recognized this unusual planetary alignment and provided also this image of the planets relative to the position of Sirius.

3. An 800 m long 'rock' came in strikingly close proximity to our Earth at a speed of about 70.000 km/h as it also went through its perihelion at that time. Not far from the Moon's orbit, it missed the Earth by merely a few hours. Hundred meter high tidal waves, as well as a new Ice Age would have been the result. Thanks to astronomers, who discovered the object as it already disappeared again into the vastness of space, a major widespread panic was avoided.

As for the variations of Earth’s spin period, science seems to confuse symptoms with causes. One has failed to realize the physical fact that the measured variations in Earth’s period of rotation are the result of small yet unpredictable oscillations of the spin axis, which cause a shifting of the observer’s meridian relative to inertial space.

More significant variations seem to occur every 49 to 50 years in the otherwise nearly regular sidereal rotation period of the Earth. Such a cycle appears to be linked to the revolution period of Sirius B around Sirius A, which also causes climatic fluctuations that seem to correspond to it. The transit measurements of Sirius during 1989/90, when Sirius A/B and our Sun were in conjunction, confirm these enormous fluctuations. Most of us might still recall the last great climate effect in January 1990. The accumulated daily rotation time discrepancy of 36 seconds relative to tropical time in December 1989 would have caused, for instance, a shift of the observer’s location (53°43'30) of approx. 9900 meters relative to inertial space.

It is not difficult to imagine how such oscillations of the Earth axis of rotation can create accelerations or decelerations of massive amounts of ocean waters, thus causing tremendous shifts in temperatures.

Astronomers believe that such a series of events are nothing more than coincidences. What would these believers only do without their god “coincidence”?

If by coincidence Sirius is not the dual star of our Sun, a problem would still exist. Evidently, the lunisolar precession model is false and an alternative cause would have to be found for the backward motion of the equinoctial points around the zodiac.
