Last week, Whitley explained the descending branch of the Tarot cross, ruled by the High Priestess and ending in the card of Judgment. This week, he discusses the left hand path, ruled by the Emperor and dominated by chance and chaos.

A team of researchers have announced they have completed a map of a previously unknown weather system. Unlike other known weather systems however, this map has recorded wind speeds of 5,400 mph, on a planet 63 light-years away.

This new weather map, generated by astrophysicists at the University of Warwick, in Coventry, England, is of exoplanet HD 189733 b. This is a gas giant that is 14% larger than Jupiter, orbiting the star HD 189733 A, found in the constellation of Vulpecula. It is very close to it’s parent star — nearly 13 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun — and orbits it’s star every 2.2 days.

Let’s take a break from high intensity Dreamlands and go on a road trip this week. But—whoa—it’s with Nick Redfern, and isn’t he, well, a monster hunter? He is indeed, and fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride as we traverse the narrow mountain roads of Puerto Rico in search of the legendary goat-sucker.
