Asteroids are a class of objects in space. Also called planetoids or minor planets, they orbit the sun. While they are smaller than even tiny Mars, space asteroids can still seem quite large – some even have their own moons. Today, we know that a major asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, while other asteroids occur throughout the universe. At the end of the 18th century, a group of 24 astronomers gathered, marshalled by Baron Xavier von Zach, to search for a “missing planet”. The planet’s existence had been hypothesized but never proven. To find it, they had to hand-draw astronomical charts for all the stars, over and over again.

The post Asteroids appeared first on Richard Cassaro.

Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com
