Here is the digitized version of the company responsible for mining spice on the planet Arrakis.

Analemma Flag

The Analemma Flag is composed of the colours blue, orange, yellow, and black.  The flag represents the sun crossing its path in sky.  The sun travels across the sky in a unique pattern and will only ever cross its path one day during the year.  It happens from about August 29th to September 1st every year.


You can often find an analemma on most globes, plastered somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  It is one of those geographic facts that is hard to explain and often overlooked.

It is appropriate to fly the analemma flag during the last week of August until September 1, when the sun decides to cross its path.  Also note the point on Earth when the sun crosses its path and is directly overhead is at the 9th degree latitude north. Consequently it can be flown all year round by any nation that lies on the 9 degrees north - "Solar Crisscross Line."  It can also be flown on ships when they cross this special line of latitude. 

Wedding Band Vexilloid - from Clash of the Titans 1981

 The tied wedding band is a type of vexilloid and made an appearnce in Clash of the Titans 1981. Instead if a pole, the hand of a human acts as the vexilloid anchor.  It appears as a golden ribbon that is tied around the hands of Cassiopeia and Perseus. 

Close up of golden wedding knot.  The classical story of the hero and princess is retold, as it will be over and over.








Several ancient world vexilloids also appear in film.  They are classical vexilloids before the rise in popularity of the fabric based ones - usually called flags.  

Flags of Corona Borealis the Northern Crown and Corona Australis the Southern Crown

Corona Borealis & Corona Australis

The Northern Crown and the Southern Crown 

This is the last post of this cosmic series that reveals for the first time the notion that the Constellations can be discerned in distinct pairs.  In essence several constellations both official and historical are a part of this uncanny and amazing phenomena.

The 'Fraternal Constellation' of Corona Borealis the Northern Crown is Corona Australis the Southern Crown.  Why not an Western Crown?  Maybe a Center, Middle or North-West Crown?  Brown Crown, Pink Crown, or just a Queen's Crown?  No, the human mind seems to have a tendency to create and label things in pairs.

Of the ten thousand things made by mankind, by mere chance they labeled the stars with a special kind of subconscious pattern.  Or is this destiny?  Or maybe it is a  mixture of chance and destiny...'chanesity?'

 The flag of the Corona Borealis has a field of yellow and orange, with black stars reflective of the constellation.  The Astrological symbol is a four pointed crown in honor of the four constellations within the black striped Northern Elite Eighties Declination Club: Draco Dragon, King Cepheus, the Giraffe, and the Little Bear. 



The flag of Corona Australis has a field of yellow and green, with black stars that mirror the stars in the constellation.  The Astrological symbol is a five pointed crown in honor of the five constellations within the black striped Southern Elite Eighties Declination Club: The Bird of Paradise, the Chameleon, Hydrus, Mensa, and Octans the Star Compass.   

The rest of the 'Fraternal Constellation Pairs' unmentioned in this series will remain hidden until the book gets published.  So have fun guessing who is Pavo's or Serpen Cauda's 'Fraternal Constellation.'  Serpen's cosmic partner should be pretty darn obvious.  But if you can get a million people to pester this blog, then more will be revealed.
