“The future evolution of WOH G64 remains uncertain.”

Astronomers have witnessed one of our universe’s biggest stars transforming into a rare stellar body, and the dramatic metamorphosis may be the prequel to a powerful supernova explosion that sees this star birth a black hole.

The doomed star in question is WOH G64 (also known as IRAS 04553–6825), located in a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way known as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), around 163,000 light-years away. The star is around 1,540 times the size of the sun, with almost 30 times the mass of our star and a staggering 282,000 times its brightness. Discovered in the 1970s, WOH G64 has always appeared to be a red supergiant star surrounded by a ring, or torus, of dense dust.

However, in 2014, the appearance of this supergiant began to change. A team of astronomers, led by Gonzalo Muñoz-Sanchez at the National Observatory of Athens, noticed the star’s color changing along with a corresponding increase in its surface temperature. Muñoz-Sanchez and colleagues determined this must represent the transformation of a red supergiant into a rare yellow hypergiant, which could also mean astronomers are witnessing a star “die” in real time.You may like

“The fate of stars with initial masses between 23 and 30 solar masses after evolving into red supergiants is still uncertain. In this case, WOH G64 was the most extreme red supergiant known, with an estimated mass of around 28 solar masses,” Muñoz-Sanchez told Space.com. “It remains unclear whether such stars explode as supernovas, collapse directly into black holes, or evolve from the red supergiant phase into a yellow hypergiant stage before ending their lives. “WOH G64 might be the solution to this question.”

The team’s results represent the first evidence that an extreme stellar object can change its temperature and evolve from red to yellow in the span of a year — and in a smooth, silent manner at that.

“This is especially surprising because rapid changes in stars are typically associated with violent or abrupt processes,” Muñoz-Sanchez continued.

That wasn’t all the team discovered about this immense star, however. The scientists also found that WOH G64 isn’t alone.

Live fast, die young … but not alone

At just 5 million years old, WOH G64 is a cosmic youngster in comparison to other stars such as our middle-aged, 4.6-billion-year-old sun, so it may seem a touch cosmically unjust that it is facing the end of its life. This is the case because massive stars such as this “live fast and die young,” burning through their fuel supply needed for nuclear fusion more rapidly than modestly sized stars.

Though this short life span is true for all massive stars, the end stages of the lives of these stellar titans aren’t quite so certain. For instance, not all red supergiants shed their outer layers as their cores contract to become yellow hypergiants.

“Yellow hypergiants are extremely rare because they represent a short-lived transitional phase between the red supergiant stage and the eventual supernova explosion,” Muñoz-Sanchez said. “Consequently, only a small number of confirmed yellow hypergiants are currently known, amounting to just a few tens of objects.”You may like

For this yellow hypergiant transformation to happen, a massive star needs a stellar wind that is strong enough to strip away an outer envelope of previously shed stellar material, a process that drives up its temperature. However, only the brightest red supergiants can drive outflows of material powerful enough to trigger this transitional phase that leads eventually to the death of the star.

The team also found that the huge star actually is part of a binary system, existing with a companion star. This complicates the potential cause of its transformation if the main star is greedily dragging matter from its companion.

“Binary interactions may also play a crucial role in the formation of yellow hypergiants,” Muñoz-Sanchez said. “If mass transfer or envelope stripping occurs in a binary system, the envelope of a red supergiant can be partially removed, potentially driving its evolution toward the yellow temperatures.”

The researcher continued by explaining that in a binary-driven scenario, which sees the evolution of the star caused by interactions with its companion, the binary system would have been embedded in a common envelope, a cocoon of gas surrounding both stars that made it appear as a red supergiant. The partial ejection of this envelope would then reveal the two stars.

“Alternatively, even though the system is binary, the transition may have been driven by intrinsic stellar processes. In this case, the star may have undergone an extraordinary eruptive episode lasting more than 30 years and is now returning to a yellow, quiescent state,” Muñoz-Sanchez added. “Both possibilities are extremely rare, and witnessing either occur on human timescales is nearly unprecedented.”

Thus, the team does not yet know whether its evolution is a consequence of interactions between WOH G64 and its binary stellar companion or if the metamorphosis is intrinsic to the star itself.

“Recent observations suggest that some of the other extreme red supergiants may also be in binary systems,” Muñoz-Sanchez explained. “Understanding whether the extreme properties of these stars arise from their intrinsic nature or from binary interactions is crucial for studying the populations of evolved massive stars, predicting their deaths, and interpreting the supernovas they produce, phenomena that are still not fully understood.”

And understanding the binary nature of WOH G64 isn’t just key to understanding its life; these details are integral to its death, too.

The continued exchange of mass between the stars could lead to their collision and the merger of the two components. However, if interactions between the stars are slight or non-existent, the main star would evolve toward core collapse, ultimately resulting in either a supernova explosion or direct collapse into a black hole. “In astronomical terms, WOH G64 appears to be a highly evolved system, and it is possible that it could undergo core collapse ‘soon.’ In this context, ‘soon’ corresponds to a timescale ranging from a hundred to a few thousand years,” Muñoz-Sanchez said. “Such an event would be extraordinary, it remains highly unlikely that it will occur within our lifetime.

Although, of course, we are not even sure that this star will explode as a supernova.”

A paper about these results was published on Monday (Feb. 23) in the journal Nature.

In March 2026, we are in full swing of eclipse season. On March 3rd, we have a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, bringing culminations, adjustments, and very real-world consequences.

At the same time, we are still integrating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries from February – the reset that marked the official beginning of a new era.

And yet, while the new era has technically begun, we are still processing the previous one. Pisces energy is still strong in March, with several planets lingering in the last sign of the zodiac.

This creates a very particular atmosphere – part closure, part ignition. We are standing with one foot in the ocean of the past, and the other already on dry land.

… then at the equinox, things heat up quickly – on March 20th, 2026, we have a rare concentration of 6 planets in Aries.

Later this month, we have an exact Saturn-Sextile Pluto.

But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

March 3, 2026 – Full Moon And Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

On March 3rd, 2026, we have a Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse at 12° Virgo.

This is a South Node Eclipse, bringing to culmination themes that have been running in the background. In Virgo, this can show up as outdated systems, perfectionist habits, or responsibilities that no longer make sense in the context of where we are heading.

The Eclipse is sextile Jupiter, so despite the usual intensity associated with eclipse season, there is support available. There is a bigger framework that makes the adjustments easier to understand.

Not everything that ends is a loss – some things simply need to be reorganized.

March 6th, 2026 – Venus Enters Aries, Venus Conjunct Neptune And Saturn

On March 6th, 2026, Venus enters Aries, and from this moment on, it’s action time.

Venus is the first personal planet to activate 0° Aries, the point where Saturn and Neptune met in February – giving us a more personal taste of that larger reset.

On February 20th, Saturn and Neptune planted a seed. Now, when the personal planets start crossing that degree, we begin to understand what that seed actually means for us, personally. The collective shift becomes individualized.

And when we talk Venus, we talk values – what matters to us, what we desire, what we are willing to invest energy in.

Out of all the possibilities that have opened up, what truly resonates? What feels aligned with who we are now, not who we used to be? What does not only sound good on paper, but actually feels right?

March 7th, 2026 – Sun Conjunct Mercury

On March 7th, 2026, the Sun is conjunct Mercury retrograde at 16° Pisces, marking the beginning of a brand new Mercury cycle which sets the direction for the next 3-4 months.

The Sun-Mercury conjunction – like any conjunction – is a seed moment. It’s that “chemical reaction” where 2 planets come together and initiate something new. With the Sun and Mercury, this points to a new cycle of clarity around identity and purpose.

This conjunction also trines its ruler Jupiter, now at 15° Cancer, which adds support and coherence to the process.

If you have a project in mind – something related to your purpose, healing, improving relationships, or simply bringing a new idea into the world – this new Mercury cycle is especially supportive. The soil is receptive, and the timing is constructive.

March 11th, 2026 – Jupiter Goes Direct

On March 11th, 2026, Jupiter stations direct at 15° Cancer. From this point onwards, Jupiter will move forward quite quickly through Cancer, entering Leo already at the end of June.

We have 4 more months of Jupiter in the sign of its exaltation. This month, the planets in Pisces apply trines, one by one, to Jupiter, creating flow and support and helping things move forward more naturally.

Let’s enjoy it while it lasts.

March 14th-17th, 2026 – Mercury Conjunct Mars Conjunct North Node

Between March 14th and March 17th, we have a powerful triple conjunction: Mercury retrograde and Mars both activate the North Node, now at 8° Pisces. On March 15th we have the exact Mercury-Mars conjunction at 9-10° Pisces.

When the planet of the mind (Mercury) meets the planet of action (Mars), we not only think or talk about something – we act on it. We say what we mean. We walk the talk. We go for it.

And when we go for it, we don’t just go in any direction. With the North Node involved, the focus is aligned with where we are meant to grow, with the path of our destiny.

March 19th, 2026 – New Moon In Pisces

On March 19th, 2026, we have an auspicious New Moon at 28° Pisces. The New Moon is conjunct Neptune and Saturn (now in the early degrees of Aries) and is exactly sextile Uranus in Taurus.

This New Moon can help us see how exactly we can bring a dream – or something we never thought would actually materialize – into reality, in one way or another.

The outcome may not be exactly how we originally imagined it. Saturn and Neptune are now in Aries, so the expression is different from the Pisces version of the dream.

But it will nevertheless be an expression of something authentic, something that has been building for a long time and is now ready to take form in a more concrete way.

March 20th, 2026 – Sun Enters Aries

On March 20th, 2026, the Sun enters Aries. Happy birthday to all Aries out there – and happy new astrological year to everyone!

Just like Venus earlier in the month, soon after entering Aries the Sun will conjunct both Neptune (on March 21st) and Saturn (exact on March 25th).

Now we’re talking. THIS is the real beginning of a new cycle – a new hero or heroine’s journey.

The Sun’s ingress into Aries marks that threshold moment when we shift from waiting for things to happen “out there” to making things happen ourselves.

Aries in general – and particularly 0° Aries – carries that primordial ignition energy, generating incredible momentum. This is pure birth energy!

March 20th and the days that follow are particularly important for articulating and gaining clarity around your purpose. This is a time to make a commitment. From this point onwards, there’s no turning back to the old version of you.

March 21st, 2026 – Mercury Goes Direct

On March 21st, 2026, Mercury goes direct at 8° Pisces, clearing some of the mist that always gathers in the last sign of the zodiac.

But if we are really honest, sometimes we like getting lost in the fog. Call it daydreaming, creative wandering, or simply taking some time off – and “off” is a very Mercury-in-Pisces word.

Sometimes we need that silence, that drifting, that space where things are not sharply defined, in order to reconnect with ourselves and what actually matters.

As Mercury moves forward again, the insights gathered during the retrograde begin to crystallize. What was vague starts to make more sense.

March 26th, 2026 – Venus Conjunct Chiron In Aries

On March 26th, 2026, Venus is conjunct Chiron at 25° Aries, reminding us where there is still healing to be done, where there is still acceptance needed around the “I am.”

But we have come a long way. In the past 7 years, while Chiron has been in Aries, every single year we have gained a little more self-understanding, a little more courage to stand in who we are.

Believe it or not, this is the very last Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries, at least for the next 43 years or so.

Venus conjunct Chiron will bring one final breakthrough in how we relate to ourselves – and a deeper recognition that we are enough as we are.

March 28th, 2026 – Saturn Sextile Pluto

On March 28th, 2026, Saturn (at 5° Aries) is exactly sextile Pluto (at 5° Aquarius). This is a subtle, yet constructive transit suggesting that deeper structural changes are starting to gain practical support.

Saturn brings discipline and implementation. Pluto brings systemic transformation. The sextile between them suggests that the world may begin putting some operational plumbing in place.

Conversations around infrastructure – perhaps something connected to energy, systems, or strategic alliances – could start moving from idea to execution.

This is not loud or dramatic. But it is functional. And sometimes that is exactly what is needed for real change to take hold.

March 30th, 2026 – Venus Enters Taurus

On March 30th, 2026, Venus enters her sign of domicile, Taurus.

Picture Aphrodite in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon – pure, effortless beauty rooted in nature.

Even if we do not naturally connect with Venus from this more earthy, sensual angle – and that depends, of course, on our own natal chart wiring and current transits – every time Venus is in Taurus, the atmosphere shifts a little bit.

The world feels a little more grounded, a little more tangible, and a little more beautiful.

Aspects And Aspect Patterns 1-Year Program

On March 3rd, 2026 – yes, at the Lunar Eclipse sextile Jupiter – we are starting our 1-year course on Aspects and Aspect Patterns.

Aspects are the connective tissue of the chart – what brings the different parts of the chart to life. Aspects are the most real and tangible part of astrology, because aspects are nothing else but the movements of the planets in the sky.

The Astro Butterfly blog – the transit report – is simply a snapshot of the aspects planets make with each other in a given period of time, in this case one month.

And our natal chart is nothing else but a picture of the sky at the time of our birth, when planets were configured in particular aspects with each other.

When we understand how planets communicate with each other through aspects, 3 important things happen:

1. We understand ourselves better. All our internal conflicts in life come from the fact that there are parts of us – parts of our psyche – that don’t fully understand each other. When we understand our aspects – properly, not with Google or computer-generated reports – we begin to see how those parts are wired together. We find acceptance. We find wholeness. We start fully living.
2. We understand the world better. We begin to see how the energies of the moment are a reflection of the dance of the planets in the sky through aspects. With time, life becomes less of a mystery. We understand that events are part of larger cycles, and that everything fits into a broader framework.
3. And most importantly, when inner understanding meets outer reality, we find alignment. We understand how we are meant to participate. We find our place in the world.

Astrology is one of the most wonderful tools for awareness and growth when we use it properly.

Aspects And Aspect Patterns is a 1-year journey into the language of aspects and aspect patterns – how they shape who we are, how they show up in the world around us, and how understanding them helps us live in alignment with both.

Lise Barnéoud

Fri, February 27, 2026 (Yahoo.com)

DNA is often considered the ultimate indicator of our identity — a foolproof way to determine our origins and how we connect to our parents and previous generations of our family. But in this excerpt from “Hidden Guests: Migrating Cells and How the New Science of Microchimerism Is Redefining Human Identity” (Greystone Books, 2025), author and science journalist Lise Barnéoud explores an unusual case that exposes the limitations of DNA testing, when a maternity test suggested a woman was not the mother of the children she gave birth to.

---

Lydia Fairchild was 26 years old when she applied for welfare benefits to help her raise her two children on her own. As part of the application process, she had to undergo a maternity test. A few weeks later, she was called into a meeting with social services, where they accused her of not being the mother of her children.

“At first, I kind of laughed … But they were serious. I could just see the seriousness in their faces,” Fairchild said. “DNA is 100% foolproof, and it doesn’t lie,” a social worker told her. “So who are you?”

At first, Fairchild was suspected of attempting to defraud the welfare system by inventing children. The state prosecutor launched an investigation and quickly confirmed that two children did indeed live with her. Could she have kidnapped them? Fairchild showed them photographs of herself pregnant. Her mother, her children’s father, and her obstetrician all testified to the fact that she had given birth.

Could she be a surrogate mother who kept the children she’d carried? After three hearings in court, Fairchild feared the worst. “Every day it felt like it was going to be the last day I’d see them,” she tearfully recounted. “I called every lawyer in the phone book. None of them believed me. It was my word against DNA. It was me against everyone.”

Fairchild was pregnant with her third child at the time, and the judge asked that both mother and child be tested immediately after birth. And the impossible happened: Fairchild’s third child, just emerged from her womb, was not her son either — genetically speaking.

At last, a lawyer agreed to help her. Alan Tindell asked Fairchild about her life, her relationships with her siblings, and her relationship with the father of her children. “Given her answers, I finally decided to believe her,” Tindell explained. He soon came across a scientific article describing Karen Keegan’s case and contacted the team in Boston to ask them to examine Fairchild. They first tested Fairchild’s blood, but they found only one cell type, just as they had for Karen Keegan. They moved on to cells from her skin, hair, and cheek: still nothing.

We know too little about our own biology to have blind faith that DNA profiling will always reveal a person’s identity or origins.

Lise Barnéoud, Hidden Guests

Until the day they performed a cervical smear. There, they found cells with a different DNA, a DNA that matched Fairchild’s children as well as her mother. They concluded that the second DNA must have come from a vanished twin sister. Fairchild could finally breathe. But how would her story have ended without Karen Keegan?

The oft-taught equation of “one individual, one genome” fails to capture the full complexity of reality. What seemed a long-established and unshakable certainty, even to me, has turned out to be imperfect knowledge in need of revision. We know too little about our own biology to have blind faith that DNA profiling will always reveal a person’s identity or origins.

Our ultimate proof is far from foolproof. Yet it is very often used to determine relationships, prove or disprove paternity, evaluate applications for family reunification, or convict persons otherwise presumed innocent. “The overriding assumption in such circumstances is that a sample that fails to confirm genetic kinship is an indication of fraud, regardless of other substantiations of legitimate kinship relations,” observes the British philosopher Margrit Shildrick, one of the few scholars to examine the social and legal consequences of microchimerism.

Why is some scientific knowledge so hastily dressed up as infallible truth? Do we not dwell enough on our own ignorance? And why do some fields of knowledge remain frozen by skepticism, even when new discoveries should allow us to dispel our doubts? The sociology of science has its work cut out for it.

It’s impossible to know how many Karen Keegans and Lydia Fairchilds exist. Most of the time, the existence of chimeric cells from vanished twins goes unnoticed. If Keegan had not needed a kidney transplant, if Fairchild had not applied for welfare benefits, they never would have known that their gametes were “occupied” by cells other than their own.

Their children or grandchildren might have eventually discovered that a branch in their family tree appeared to be missing, that they had somehow inherited genes that neither of their parents possessed.

Today, we know of about a dozen cases of this phenomenon, known as germ-line chimerism: where chimeric cells are present in the tissues that form eggs or sperm. One such case involved an American man who learned through a paternity test that he could not be the father of his child, who was conceived via assisted reproduction. He was preparing to sue the clinic, believing himself to be the victim of a semen mix-up, when a more precise test revealed that he in fact shared 25% of his DNA with the child. In other words, he was the child’s uncle, genetically speaking.

Further research showed that 10% of his sperm contained DNA from a vanished twin brother. “One of the most impactful consequences of this case study is to point out that some traditional paternity tests which have resulted in negative outcomes (the tested parent was excluded as the biological parent) may have been wrong, because the alleged parent may have undiagnosed chimerism,” stress the researchers who chronicled his case.

Given the increasing use of these tests, it is likely that the paternity of other fathers has been wrongly contested. This is precisely the scenario depicted in the French TV series “Nona et ses filles,” which aired in 2021. Nona, played by 70-year-old actress Miou-Miou, is pregnant when a genetic test reveals that her lover, André, cannot be the father of her child. They eventually learn that one of André’s testicles contains sperm from a vanished twin brother. In the words of André, as he attempts to parse his situation, “So he’s my nephew … but he’s also my son.”

---

Part mind-bending medical mystery — part cutting-edge science — “Hidden Guests” uncovers the astonishing phenomenon of microchimerism: the presence of foreign cells inside our own bodies. The incredible story of how those cells got there—and what they do once they arrive — might change everything we know about the immune system, lineage, and identity.

Bryan Colter Astrology School and Readings – https://bryancolter.com/ In this video, I explore the Virgo Blood Moon Eclipse of March 3rd, 2026 through the lens of evolutionary astrology. This is not just an eclipse about release. It is a profound confrontation between discernment and distortion, criticism and compassion, and polarity consciousness versus unity consciousness. Although this is called a Virgo eclipse, the sky is saturated with Pisces energy — making this lunation especially potent around themes of: compassion without discernment discernment without heart confusion, fog, and manipulated narratives fear consciousness and hypercriticism spiritual purification and inner clarity the cultivation of the spiritual warrior In this talk, I explore both the collective and personal meaning of this eclipse, including how these energies may be showing up in the world right now — and how they may be operating in your own subconscious patterns, emotional habits, and nervous system. I also share practical ways to work with this eclipse consciously, including: introspective meditation spiritual detox and purification strengthening discernment without losing compassion becoming less reactive, less programmable, and more inwardly coherent If this video resonates, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need it.

The Astrology Podcast Feb 27, 2026 Monthly Astrology Forecasts We look ahead at the astrological forecast for March of 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We are coming off the heels of some incredibly momentous planetary alignments, so we spend the first half of the episode doing a deep dive into recent news events to see how the astrology has been manifesting before transitioning into our breakdown of the transits for the month ahead. In the news segment, we explore the impact of the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction, particularly how it has been revealing things that were previously concealed, most notably with the release of the Epstein files. We also discuss how the recent eclipse magnified Pluto’s transit through Aquarius, accelerating themes around AI agents, humanoid robotics, and discussions of extraterrestrial life. Finally we note the astrology surrounding the very serious geopolitical escalations currently unfolding with Iran. As we move into the forecast for March, we find ourselves still deep in the heart of eclipse season, navigating a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo that is heavily colored by a number of overlapping alignments. We break down the challenges of a particularly debilitating Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the reality-distorting effects of the inner planets crossing the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and how Jupiter stationing direct in Cancer might offer some helpful silver linings and protective intercessions during an otherwise volatile month. Finally, we highlight a few windows of opportunity amidst the chaos, including a very positive Mars-Jupiter trine that forms the basis of our best electional chart of the month. As always, you can find the complete list of timestamps below if you want to jump to different sections or topics. This is episode 526 of The Astrology Podcast.
