Good find! Its a bit funny how the vatican have took to astronomy so well it makes me think that theyre fully aware of something happening in the future and are preparing for it. It wasnt too long ago that they were shunning scientific discovery's because it went against what they believe i.e god created the earth and man etc blah blah.

I think the vatican have believed in aliens for along time.

Hey guys, I always wondered why the Vatican had an observatory...maybe looking for signs and wonders in the heavens...ie Wormwood.

I live in NC and have wondered why the Vatican has an official observatory astronomer based/stationed in Raleigh, NC? Any guesses?

It would be good to find out what theyre mainly observing, what interest would they have in space when all the answers to creation are apparently in the bible? (according to them). I wonder if theyre planning ahead and picking out the good spots for their churches when we hop off this rock

While im certainly no theologian, my initial thoughts were along the lines of sybolism, the same way we see so much occult symbolism on the net now days commenly ascociated with the illuminati.

Could the church be seeking cosmoligical creationism proof (or intelligent design) in these days of dwindling church attendence?

Could it be a reference to lucifers great perception, like the owl that can see in the dark when others cant, that can be found at bohemian grove or on the US dollar bill? The binocular as shown in the pic certainly looks like a pair of eyes, is this a refrence to either them or lucifer seeing something we cant?

Or perhaps more along the suggestion they are lucifer..Could it be for dark purposes, the vatican seeking information to add to their extensive forbidden archives, perhaps revealing their real intentions out in the open by the name selection?

Are they looking to corrolate some of their hidden records from the past, or ancient times?

Do they know something about "the end times" that we dont, are looking into outerspace to find out more, and dont have an angelic agenda?

Much of the work of Jordan Maxwell springs to mind, so many vatican cosmological refrences and such. Perhaps I should email Jordan get his two cents. But im sure us ATSers will get to the bottom of it as usual. Im a little reluctent to just write it off as coincidence, they plan these names very carefully, its not like they just draw names out of the popes hat.

Edit to add; I sent the info off to Jordan to get his take, if he gets back to me ill let you know his opinion asap

I asked the person that was in charge of making the mirrors. I will let you all know what he says if anything....

Lucifer is ascociated with siruis. Apparently lucifer gets energy from the siruis star system, sirius is the place where the evil energies come from in many occult and ancient beliefs. Research chris everard claimed that "Some prominet astronomers who have joined sectret societies have dedicated to evoking the spirit of lucifer by using telespopes, I am not the only person who says this, many books have said that there observatories that train the lense on sirius and concentrate the light, and in the infintesimal beam of light from the telesope there are people performing rituals evoking the spirit of lucifer while bathed in the light from the telescope"

As said in OP the Lucifer part of the telecope is the part which is situated in the infintesimal small part of the beam where the light from the LBT is focussed to.

I think too, but they hide it from the rest.

From a close source.

"As to the names of the mirrors (2) in LBT we simply refer to them as SX m1 and DX m1. SX and DX being shorthand for left and right in Italian (the Italians are 25% partners in LBT and played a major roll in the design and construction of the telescope mount). One of the major instruments used on LBT, an infra-red camera/spectrograph, is called Lucifer. Lucifer was built by the German astronomical community, which has another 25% of the telescope."

Bump!
Been browsing through old threads. Found this one. Definitely deserve more attention.
