Other objects relevant for studying can have a different catalog number, such as AAC-7 which is Ptolemy's star cluster that is its own feature to be studied separately from AAC-1. Some stars, however; may be part of both the sphere and the star cluster -- those stars have multiple designations and the names are interchangeable. When a star has multiple AAC identifiers, the preferred star name to reference for documentation is the shortest and easiest to type for the letters and numbers on a standard American QWERTY keyboard. Ascendents Sphere stars (The Ascendents) are conventionally named with the AAC-1 prefix, followed by their <a href="https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-resources/constellation-names-and-abbreviations" target="_blank">constellations</a>, and the count when it was discovered as part of the Ascendents Sphere. For example: The first sphere discovery in Canis Major (CMa), the star "18 CMa" also is "AAC-1-CMa-1."</i></p><h4>Future Developments</h4> <p>&bull; Searchable dynamic database with category selector<br /> &bull; Periodic downloadable CSV exports<br /> &bull; API to retrieve individual object CSV data<br /> <i>Tip: For now, to get a CSV file of the AAC table, copy-and-paste the HTML table of AAC objects to a spreadsheet program (newer versions can automatically convert the copy-and-paste data to spreadsheet/export CSV format).</i> </p><h3>Ascendents Sphere Introduction</h3> <p> The Ascendents refers to a dome of stars in a giant spherical star system (AAC-1) that surrounds Earth and the Solar System. In every direction, the Ascendents Sphere star dome is about 913 light years away, therefore the dome itself is over 1800 light years in diameter. The pattern of influence by the Ascendents Sphere extends much farther outward than the boundary of the sphere (the star line). For perspective, the Milky Way Galaxy is over 100,000 light years in diameter. Our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri is only 4 light years away. </p><p><a href="https://ascendents.net/news/index.php/space-the-stellar-sphere">Read more about the Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1)</a> </p><p>Grasping the magnitude of this discovery is an incredible feeling, it's absolutely insane being part to advancing a paradigm of universal understanding. Deep into knowing as past humans started to know, nearly 1900 years ago, 130 AD Ptolemy discovered a significant blue star cluster that pierces the 2022-discovered Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1). Since the late-1700's Ptolemy's Cluster has been referenced as Messier Object (M 7) and it's relevant enough to also be called AAC-7.</p><p><div class="image_block scale100 floatleft pad10"><a href="https://ascendents.net/news/media/blogs/news/quick-uploads/p180/milkyrays.jpg?mtime=1661479815" title="Pattern of blue stars show event extends outward far beyond 913 light year Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1)" rel="lightbox[p180]" id="link_196"><img alt="Space: Ascendents Astronomy Catalog (AAC)" src="https://ascendents.net/news/htsrv/getfile.php/milkyrays.jpg?root=collection_10&amp;path=quick-uploads%2Fp180%2Fmilkyrays.jpg&amp;mtime=1661479815&amp;size=fit-400x320" width="400" height="269" class="loadimg" /></a><div class="image_legend">Pattern of blue stars show event extends outward far beyond 913 light year Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1)</div></div><br /> <div class="image_block scale100 floatleft pad10"><a href="https://ascendents.net/news/media/blogs/news/quick-uploads/p180/dome.jpg?mtime=1661480708" title=" The Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1), Star Dome of the Ascendents" rel="lightbox[p180]" id="link_197"><img alt="Space: Ascendents Astronomy Catalog (AAC)" src="https://ascendents.net/news/htsrv/getfile.php/dome.jpg?root=collection_10&amp;path=quick-uploads%2Fp180%2Fdome.jpg&amp;mtime=1661480708&amp;size=fit-400x320" width="400" height="269" class="loadimg" /></a><div class="image_legend"> The Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1), Star Dome of the Ascendents</div></div><br /></p> <div class="image_block scale100 floatleft font90 pad10"><a href="https://ascendents.net/news/media/blogs/news/quick-uploads/p180/milkyway_far_enhanced_2026-09-17b.png?mtime=1789693641" title=" (2026-09-17) Milky Way Galaxy with roads to Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1) on Local Orion Spur and the Sagittarius Arm's Jewel Box Cluster (AAC-94)" rel="lightbox[p180]" id="link_956"><img alt="Space: Ascendents Astronomy Catalog (AAC)" src="https://ascendents.net/news/htsrv/getfile.php/milkyway_far_enhanced_2026-09-17b.png?root=collection_10&amp;path=quick-uploads%2Fp180%2Fmilkyway_far_enhanced_2026-09-17b.png&amp;mtime=1789693641&amp;size=fit-400x320" width="400" height="205" class="loadimg" /></a><div class="image_legend"> (2026-09-17) Milky Way Galaxy with roads to Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1) on Local Orion Spur and the Sagittarius Arm's Jewel Box Cluster (AAC-94)</div></div> <div class="image_block scale100 floatleft font90 pad10"><a href="https://ascendents.net/news/media/blogs/news/quick-uploads/p180/aac-1_and_aac-94_enh2.png?mtime=1790475720" title=" (2026-09-26) Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1) and (red marker) Sagittarius Arm's Jewel Box Cluster (AAC-94)" rel="lightbox[p180]" id="link_962"><img alt="Space: Ascendents Astronomy Catalog (AAC)" src="https://ascendents.net/news/htsrv/getfile.php/aac-1_and_aac-94_enh2.png?root=collection_10&amp;path=quick-uploads%2Fp180%2Faac-1_and_aac-94_enh2.png&amp;mtime=1790475720&amp;size=fit-400x320" width="301" height="320" class="loadimg" /></a><div class="image_legend"> (2026-09-26) Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1) and (red marker) Sagittarius Arm's Jewel Box Cluster (AAC-94)</div></div> The following is a list of discoveries given designations in the AAC catalog.

Note: To be part of the AAC-1 designation, a star must be located on or close enough to the dome, a reasonable proportion for its significance. Other objects relevant for studying can have a different catalog number, such as AAC-7 which is Ptolemy's star cluster that is its own feature to be studied separately from AAC-1. Some stars, however; may be part of both the sphere and the star cluster -- those stars have multiple designations and the names are interchangeable. When a star has multiple AAC identifiers, the preferred star name to reference for documentation is the shortest and easiest to type for the letters and numbers on a standard American QWERTY keyboard. Ascendents Sphere stars (The Ascendents) are conventionally named with the AAC-1 prefix, followed by their constellations, and the count when it was discovered as part of the Ascendents Sphere. For example: The first sphere discovery in Canis Major (CMa), the star "18 CMa" also is "AAC-1-CMa-1."

Future Developments

• Searchable dynamic database with category selector
• Periodic downloadable CSV exports
• API to retrieve individual object CSV data
Tip: For now, to get a CSV file of the AAC table, copy-and-paste the HTML table of AAC objects to a spreadsheet program (newer versions can automatically convert the copy-and-paste data to spreadsheet/export CSV format).

Ascendents Sphere Introduction

The Ascendents refers to a dome of stars in a giant spherical star system (AAC-1) that surrounds Earth and the Solar System. In every direction, the Ascendents Sphere star dome is about 913 light years away, therefore the dome itself is over 1800 light years in diameter. The pattern of influence by the Ascendents Sphere extends much farther outward than the boundary of the sphere (the star line). For perspective, the Milky Way Galaxy is over 100,000 light years in diameter. Our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri is only 4 light years away.

Grasping the magnitude of this discovery is an incredible feeling, it's absolutely insane being part to advancing a paradigm of universal understanding. Deep into knowing as past humans started to know, nearly 1900 years ago, 130 AD Ptolemy discovered a significant blue star cluster that pierces the 2022-discovered Ascendents Sphere (AAC-1). Since the late-1700's Ptolemy's Cluster has been referenced as Messier Object (M 7) and it's relevant enough to also be called AAC-7.

EVERYTHING THAT SOUNDED GOOD — first day in office — a swamp: Trump launched an agenda by signing roughly 200 executive orders, CBS News (Jan-20) reported. The Washington Post (Jan-20) added, Trump claimed there was party unity, even though headlines repeated (e.g. USA Today, Politico, Al Jazeera, and Local 3 Chattanooga TN) that the Republican Party was more divided than ever: X] typical Republican politicians, Y] MAGA Nationalists, Z] Neo-MAGA Oligarchs.

"President Trump began his second term Monday with a sweeping order aimed at reversing dozens of former President Biden’s top priorities, from regulations aimed at lowering health care costs, to coronavirus outreach, Affordable Care Act expansions, and protections against gender-based discrimination," STAT (Jan-20) reported.

Trump spoke, "...and he (Elon) knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers... And we ended up winning..."
