<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

Seyfert Galaxies<br />

Seyfert Galaxies are a small class <strong>of</strong> galaxies (spirals)<br />

that have very small, intensely bright nuclei, whose<br />

broad emission lines (in spectrograms) indicate that<br />

the atoms present are in a very high state <strong>of</strong>-activity.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are powerful emitters <strong>of</strong> radio energy and<br />

several emit an enormous amount <strong>of</strong> energy in the<br />

infrared. <strong>The</strong>y also emit in the ultraviolet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> emission lines in Seyfert galaxies have only<br />

modest red shifts. <strong>The</strong> very compact nuclei observed<br />

in these galaxies indicate that the gases in them are<br />

in a high state <strong>of</strong> excitation and are traveling at high<br />

speed in clouds and filaments. It is now believed that<br />

the intense outbursts <strong>of</strong> energy observed in Seyfert<br />

galaxies may be normal to all galaxies and that even<br />

our own galaxy may experience such a renewal, from<br />

time to time.<br />
