Chirton Bottom of June 16, 2010: a 29-day lunar analemma with a partly eclipsed Moon on June 26, 2010  

Summary.

Chirton Bottom shows the general shape of a figure-eight or “lunar analemma”, which proceeds for 29 days or one lunar phase cycle. It was even drawn in a field next to four ringed circles, in order to suggest the concept of "analemma".  

Within that general shape, 29 individual symbols alternate as "Sun (large) - Moon (small) - Sun (large) - Moon (small)", proceeding day or night until all 29 days have been accounted for. The calendar dates shown there extend from May 27, 2010 to June 26, 2010 (both full Moons). On June 26, there will be a 50% partial lunar eclipse. That may be why its “small Moon" symbol for day “28-29" was drawn with just half of the size expected. 

The general concept of an analemma in astronomy  

The “solar analemma” is figure-eight shape (shown below on the left), which comes from observing the position of our Sun in Earth’s sky, at the same time each day over one complete solar year (see www.perseus.gr/Astro-Tips-Analemma.htm):  

One can also see an “analemma” on many household globes (shown above on the right).  

Analemmas of the Sun or Moon

Now in addition to a solar analemma, there is also a “lunar analemma”. If you photograph our Moon 51 minutes later on 29 successive days, then after one lunar month it will trace out a figure-8 shape (see http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap050713.html):  

A new figure-eight shape or analemma in the field at Chirton Bottom  

A new crop picture at Chirton Bottom on June 16, 2010 showed a figure-eight shape, just as expected for any solar or lunar analemma. Furthermore, it was drawn in the same field as four large rings, which clearly seem to suggest the concept of an “analemma”:  

But which kind, solar or lunar?  

Chirton seems to show an analemma of the Moon, rather than of the Sun 

Well, that new crop picture shows 29 individual symbols within its broad figure-eight shape, alternating day or night as “Sun (large) – Moon (small) – Sun (large) - Moon (small)”, to suggest one complete lunar phase cycle of 29 days:  

Thus it appears to be a lunar analemma!  

Two other “lunar analemmas” appeared in crops during the summer of 2008  

Two other crop pictures from the past have seemed to show “lunar analemmas”. For example, South Korea of June 15, 2008 showed two 29-day figure-eight shapes, along with variable intensities from new to full Moon (see southkorea2008). As another example, Milk Hill of August 8, 2008 (above on the right) showed two lunar phase cycles of 29 days, which were then combined into a double-sized analemma (see /080808).  

A partial lunar eclipse eight days after Milk Hill in 2008  

There was a partial lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008, just eight days after Milk Hill appeared on August 8, 2008. So the entire crop picture with its figure-eight shape seems to have been a clever visual metaphor for "eight days until eclipse", or perhaps its special calendar date of 8-8-2008?  

Another partial lunar eclipse ten days after Chirton Bottom in 2010  

By close analogy to Milk Hill, there will be another partial lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010, just ten days after Chirton Bottom appeared on June 16, 2010. Might the new crop picture at Chirton show any recognition of that important astronomical event? 

If we look closely at fine details of the new crop picture, we can see that its “small Moon” symbol between days “28 and 29" was drawn 50% smaller than all of the other “Moon” symbols drawn elsewhere, say between days “1 and 2”: 

That subtle detail would clearly seem to suggest a 50% lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010, at the end of our current 29-day phase cycle. 

Two other crop pictures from 2009 or 2010 used “half Moon” imagery to suggest “partial lunar eclipse” 

In accord with what we just saw at Chirton, the "starfish" at Martinsell Hill on July 19, 2009 used a “half Moon” symbol to indicate a partial lunar eclipse on August 6, 2009 (see www.cropcirclearchives.com/archives/2009/martinsellhill2/comments.html):  

Another “half full Moon” symbol was just used at Poirino, Italy on June 13, 2010 to indicate a partial lunar eclipse on July 26, 2010 (see www.cropcircleconnector.com/inter2010/italy/Poirino2010a.html).  

CMM Research

P.S. We would like to thank John Montgomery and Andrew Pyrka for the field photos used here. 

P.S.S. In order to have any chance of interpreting new crop pictures correctly, you will almost certainly have to become well-acquainted with many crop pictures from the past. Thus we would strongly recommend that all interested readers should join the CCC website at www.cropcircleconnector.com/anasazi/ml.html to get full access to its excellent Archives.


Holographic links between

 Poirino CC in Italy and Chirton Bottom CC Wiltshire UK             

       

Firstly thanks a lot to “Strob” for cracking the first code in the Poirino CC Italy.

E=MC ^ 2  

Thanks also to  d’immagine di space freedom (a rather serendipitous name in regards to the following interpretation) and also thanks to Steve Alexander’s great aerial photo.

This was quite a task to try and find a genuine solution to both these crop circles, within plausible realities. What is a plausible reality?

The Poirino CC came up with Albert Einstein’s equation E = m c ^ 2

Commonly known, Albert Einstein had two theories, one was a “general” theory of relativity, the other a “special” theory of relativity, I also mention his “entanglement” theory due to the interconnection of two CC’s with multiple codes and message.  These two CC’s also exhibit “special relativity” in regards to “other” dimensions in time and space of which is only “theoretical” in physics at this stage, but have existed for millennia in the realms of mystical thought and philosophical pondering. 

The two CC’s overlap not in a literal sense but in an entangled, holographic quantum reality as the Circle makers have made, multiple “keys” in both, and, also for “one another”, and then played a little puzzle in the conclusion. Unlike the Wilton Windmill CC which had both codes hidden within The same CC this time two CC’s interplayed for not just one “answer”, but multiple answers, and outcomes, which hints at the process of quantum entanglement. 

Maybe entanglement theory at it’s best?  

I’m surprised Mensa hasn’t approached Doug and Dave yet?

I can see “Doug and Dave’s shingle”

Two planks shy of a full fence school of telepathic planking  

I’m ashamed to be an Aussie.

Looking for clues

I initially created a central spinning section with the central circle of the Poirino CC to create a “rotating central key” as I felt it may hide more codes within this one CC, this failed to turn up anything, however, I did discover via this “spin” or rotation technique, an unusual visual “similarity” with the Chirton bottom CC. Here was the key for unlocking the second code. By rotating 1/12th Clockwise and aligning the diagrams symmetry again with the next petal, an interesting pattern manifested in the CC.
 
 Below I have highlighted the pattern that seemed familiar with the Chirton Bottom CC

.  

This pattern reminded me of David Bohms’ implicate and explicate order of the universe in visual symmetry. Beautiful. 

I started to do a number count of all circles in the Chirton bottom CC, small, medium and large (2) and something interesting arose.        

 

 

I also counted two large circles within the overall “infinity” design.

Now we can go further with the second ASCII hidden code using the numbers that surfaced within the Chirton Bottom Cc. I also inverted the numbers to give a second set of numbers, the reason I did this, was due to the inverted pattern in the infinity symbol.   I mentioned this pattern earlier highlighted in Red, so I utilized this Implicate and explicate pattern with the new numbers below 

New number count in the Chirton bottom Cc.

27 (invert) 72,    28 (invert) 82  and 2 This then gave me four ASCII corresponding letters.

72 = H    27 = ESC   82 = R  28 = FS (femtosecond)   2 = STX (start of text)

This then gave me a second set of code numbers to complete the further encoded pattern, which is startling in conclusion. Not just from the complexity of the CC encoding process but the philosophical inferences to deeper quantum knowledge. By mixing the two codes together I found this new code in Red.  I used the infinity symbol in the final equation, as it seemed relevant taking in all overall holographic message.

My interpretation of this code? 

To MC Escher a femtosecond can be equivalent to infinity.

The reason I placed the “2” from the end of Einstein’s equation, and placed it at the beginning of the second Escher equation was for a few reasons.  Einstein’s code was found first in Italy Poirino, the Chirton bottom CC came later and seems to imply philosophically that quantum realities of time expansion and contraction supercede Einstein’s general laws of physics at least in terms of constants and light mechanics.   In the Chirton Cc it showed an open two circles in the center, which translates in ASCII to “STX”, or, (start of text) so start of text means, start of text, this gave me a starting point to finish off Escher’s new code. 

Also Einstein’s equation ends with the number “2” so this was the second reason for placing it first.  The MC is taken from the first Einstein code completing Escher’s first two initials, the squared symbol I’ve placed next the femtosecond symbol mainly as you can’t square infinity. Maybe one can square a femtosecond but that’s for chemists or mathematicians to figure out. I feel this about time and known “realities” of time.  In higher realities time doesn’t exist, it is completely relative in terms of who experiences what or when at any given time.

This new code reminds me of Blake’s famous quote,

 “to hold the world in a grain of sand”.

A femtosecond is a unit of time equal to 10-15 of a second. That is one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth of a second.  For context, a femtosecond is to a second, what a second is to about 31.7 million years.

 I would say that the CC might be inferring that inner multiple quantum realities pulverise Einstein’s equation within it’s known boundaries of “a constant”, or they are showing us how it works, beyond known logical constructs.  Light is not a constant it is relative according to special relative theory, so is time. Time is relative, so time-space-light are bound together but also relative, much like entanglement theory. Infinity speaks for itself, it is incomprehensible, and it can’t be labeled.

These two CC’s really intrigued me, as Escher is famous for his precise mathematical and non Euclidean multiple dimensional artwork, much like holographic quantum theory or “multiverse realities”. Dali was similar with his work of surrealism, true pioneers in physics. In fact an artist’s job is exactly the same as a quantum physicist! It’s merely the language constructs are different, always looking for subtler light and understanding of the known universe. Dark light being the next frontier, how timely?

Here is one of my personal favorite sketches from Escher. 

It’s called “Reptiles” how quaint.  I thought it poignant to place a small interpretation of the profound knowledge that Escher himself showed in regards to personal alchemical transformation and other realities. Seeing as the CC formation placed his name next to Albert Einstein’s famous equation. 

This particular work is famous and I found it not only technically interesting, but also the subject matter riveting.  A really “great work” and apart from the mathematical sacred geometrical aspects, his knowledge of alchemical symbolism is evident here.  Let's look at some of the symbols.

I will work from larger observations to smaller.

In Alchemy the ancient art of changing Lead to Gold was portrayed as a secret and known only by a few.  The roots of Alchemy go back possibly millennia, perhaps as far back as Ancient Egypt.   The goal of alchemical transmutation is that of changing base metals into Gold, the prime objective of any alchemist

The true transmutation process was treacherous and difficult, and it took time.  History is pregnant with alchemical stories, even Pinocchio eventually got his wish in the end, but only after he stopped lying himself stupid. Wood being even denser than lead, he eventually got it right.  The Gold in this work is minimal, as lead seems to be the order of the day…

Lead being one of the base metals and Gold one of the purest.

Ironic how bullets are made of lead?

Lead is used in the medium of most of Escher’s works.

Most of the 3d symbols in this work are not on the square, which is interesting. They do however move from the dark square eventually, after a lot of time in the desert. The cacti indicating a nice metaphor for time spent in the wilderness. Only then can our reptile friend perhaps change once he reaches the “white” square section of the two dimensional plane, breaking free from his own vices.

Purification must take place via a very, very, slow, progressive journey through time, and if he succeeds then onto higher planes of reality; perhaps this is why Escher used a reptile and not an ape? 

The little reptile seems to be a skink of sorts, although skinks don't snort fire or steam from their nose, perhaps a metaphor for a created reptile, a funny genetic joke from Escher, I’m not sure? 

The "reptile" is actually walking in a cyclical manner constantly passing from two-dimensional reality, which is a complex web or “matrix” almost like a self replicating, patterned prison cell? 

The reference to the book of “Job” next to the cacti is very informative; Job being one of the most righteous men in the Old Testament was tested to the fullest by “his” Lord without Job understanding the logic or reason?  

In the end he had to concede he didn’t understand the full reasoning taken by the architect behind the decision.

The “O” is Job is a stylised double tetrahedron (fire) in this case, so the heat of alchemical purification is amplified during this period in the Desert.   This tetrahedron symbol in this shape, when properly manifested becomes a star tetrahedron or “star of David”.  Reptile has left some of his vices behind in the bucket, but encounters an arduous journey until he reaches a book of Alchemy, indicated also by the “bottle” of spirit next to the book (lower right).

The overall anticlockwise journey of the reptile is interesting, he only conquers the higher heights when confronting the “bridge” or Yod (finger of god), Isosceles triangle, a small hole symbolic not of an “eye” but of the difficulty at this phase of entering higher planes of existence. Escher's understanding of platonic solids is demonstrated in using the Dodecahedron solid shape symbolic of “spirit” of which the reptile eventually mounts and snorts.  Is he controlling the “spirit” or has he conquered it?    A bible seems to lie at the top right next to the Yod, “open” and inviting, but always with choice.

These CC’s are getting very interesting and I’m sure there are many other valuable interpretations.

Interpretation of the crop circle at Chirton Bottom, nr Urchfont, Wiltshire. Reported 16th June 2010. 

Many thanks to Olivier Morel for shooting this wonderful aerial picture. 

This formation is an extension from the circle appeared at Stoney Littleton Long Barrow reported on June 7th, which is about two sources of warming energy during the transitional period between two civilizations. The transitional period will last from 2012 to 2110. Since 2012, Earth will still rely on solar energy during the first half of the period but change to geothermal energy in the second half. So this crop circle appeared on June 16th is to further depict the operation of geothermal energy from 2110.  

Before interpreting this formation, I would like to explain a symbol in advance. As you can see, there are many little circles align like a number 8 in the formation. These circles surrounded by arcs represent the geothermal energy of earth. As the above illustration shows, some circles are open because of the gaps between two outer arcs and some are closed because the inner arcs are tightly placed next to each other. When the circle is open, it means the geothermal energy will be blown out from the underground and push the cold air mass up to the sky. So the weather on the ground will be warm and become summer. On the contrary, when the circle is closed, it means the geothermal energy will be sucked back into the underground and the cold air mass will fall down to the ground again and along comes cold winter time. So you should have a preliminary understanding by now and I will explain the whole concept in the following. 

© Olivier Morel 

This formation looks like two loops of circles joined together. It represents our future climate. After geothermal energy becomes the dependent energy of Earth, we will only have summer and winter. The two transitional seasons, spring and autumn, will disappear. Another interpretation of the combination of two loops means the number 8. The 8 figured shape also symbolizes infinity, in other words, the cycle of summer -> winter-> summer-> winter will continue infinitely. 

Meanwhile, there is a regular pattern in the alignment of those little circles; one open circle is followed by one closed circle. But in the center of this formation, there are two connecting open circles, each followed by a closed circle, start the alignment in two different directions. Therefore, it means the two open circles are the start point. In other words, the weather during the initial stage of the next civilization is summer and gradually become the type of alternating summer and winter. Two convex circles in the center of loops represent the ground. At the end of each loop, one arrow pointing to the convex circle represents the cold air mass will fall down and bring winter time and another arrow pointing to the sky means the cold air mass will rise to the sky and the weather will be hot summer. Actually, circle creators already mentioned such alternation of summer and winter in the keyhole circle appeared on May 5th. The cycle of such alternation of two seasons will continue infinitely.     

Last but not least, why is GEOTHERMAL ENERGY being mentioned repeatedly in the previous circles? Actually circle makers are trying to enlighten us. They see human beings/big enterprises are endeavoring to develop solar energy as the substitute energy. This is a huge mistake and all investment will be in vain. Those big enterprises can not foresee the thing which will happen in the near future------- we will lose our sun.
