I meant 1998. However, since I posted that revision, I have a much better date. I hope it's the final date. Not much time left for more revisions!! The final date is Christmas Day: December 25, 1998 at 11:40:00 UT; 11.666 decimal hours UT. (5:40 AM CST, Plano, Texas time) Don't be surprised if you hear the sound of a trumpet. This is an ether phenomenon, just as a tornado is, but the sound should be a much higher pitched than the freight-train sound that tornadoes are famous for. I heard the 1952 Dallas tornado. It should have a Doppler shift: a high-pitched crescendo as the wave front approaches, a swift downward glissando as the supernova lights up, followed by a low-pitched decrescendo. Take your tape recorder outside if you are within the initial cone of visibility. Don't worry if you are in daylight. This puppy will be visible in daylight! When you exit the cone of visibility, this sequence will reverse. If you were caught by surprise by the flare-up, there is no excuse for not being ready for the extinguishment when the supernova drops below 30altitude above the horizon. The duration of the trumpet sound will depend on your latitude. Higher latitudes will have longer durations. Initially, at least, there will be a cone of visibility for NGC 6543, the "Cat's Eye" planetary nebula in Draco, which after it goes supernova should be renamed the "Throne", because it is identified in Revelation 4:2-3. The initial visibility of the Throne should be inside the small circle of 60radius and centered on the object's substellar point on the Earth (where it is at the zenith), which at the initial onset moment should be the intersection of the Arctic Circle and the International Date Line (66.6North Latitude and 180Longitude). As the world turns, the center of this small circle of visibility follows the Arctic circle. You can only see it when its zenith distance is less than 60 that is, when it is more than 30above the horizon. This supernova will be with us for 157 days, so if you miss recording the first pass, you have plenty of chances to record subsequent passes. I suggest that amateur astronomers get a WWV radio and record the standard time clock ticks and the trumpet sound on the same tape so that we can observe two phenomena which begin after the first 7 days: the gradual growth in the radius of the cone of visibility, and the migration of the center of the cone from the Arctic Circle at latitude 66.6to latitude 84.6 a drift of 18in 150 days. With your tapes and your latitude and longitude, we can learn quite a lot about this wonderful but rare natural phenomenon. The pitch of the sound, and indeed the entire audio signature of the trumpet blasts will contain valuable information. As if the Throne supernova weren't exciting enough, nature will provide four other daybright supernovae: one each in Leo, Taurus, Bootes, and Aquila (Revelation 4:7). They will also have 60cones of visibility, but since they are all near the Ecliptic, most people in the world will be able to observe them. Since the wave fronts are more likely to pass observers at nearly right angles, while the Throne's wavefronts are more likely to pass by at grazing angles, these four "Beasts" may sound more like thunder than trumpets. Then, if five supernovae aren't exciting enough, dozens of novae will appear on great circles joining the five supernovae, like spokes joining a hub, or like "six wings" (Rev. 4:8) formed from three great circles intersecting at each "Beast" and the "Throne." This will be the astro-photo opportuni ty of a lifetime! On or about January 1, 1999, and every 30 days thereafter for five 30-day months, a new pair of supernovas will appear in the sky. The northern ones will be one of the Pleiades (Revelation 5:6), and the southern ones will be in Sagittarius,(Rev. 6:2), ??? (Rev. 6:3), Libra (Rev. 6:3), Scutum (Rev. 6-8), ???, ???. Astrophotographers should be ready to observe large proper motions in all of these supernovae. The Pleiades will move radially away from the center of the cluster, so the cluster will expand in angular size, as each Pleiad explodes in time, one every 30 days, as if God is putting a zoom lens in the path of each one. I expect that by May 31, 1999, the Pleiades may be as large and as bright as the Big Dipper. Fear not! These awesome signs in the heavens are the curtain raisers for the main event: the return of Jesus Christ in person perhaps as soon as next year, or perhaps only a few years later. The sixth seal on May 31, 1999 may have some catastrophic geophysical consequences for a small fraction of the Earth's population. More about that later. Meanwhile, may the Peace of God be yours during this auspicious Christmas season. ---- Glen W.
