Original Message Some pretty amazing stuff here...

Animals have an amazing capability to align with planetary fields...

This article explains/details part of a study about Dung beetles and their innate ability to align with the stars!

[link to www.sciencedaily.com]

"An insect with a tiny brain and minimal computing power has become the first animal proven to use the Milky Way for orientation. Scientists from South Africa and Sweden have published findings showing the link between dung beetles and the spray of stars which comprises our galaxy."

I am so glad more and more research is being dedicated to animals and their relationship with constellations...wish they would perform more studies relating to humans and their activities related to celestial objects positioning but we all know these wouldn't fly...

A few threads about magnetite in humans (the article above about the beetles mainly highlights their sense of various wavelenghts of light) but all of this is connected:

Thread: New Research - Animal Migration and Magnetism - The Source of Guidance: Magnetite

Thread: Magnetite In The Brain.

Want to learn more (and read a few research articles on this topic)?

Visit Google Scholar [link to scholar.google.com] (I am not sure if the scholarly articles will post here) and then type in "Animals AND magnetite" or "humans AND magnetite" then scroll through some of the studies being published nowadays, you will be surprised at the number of studies on these two subjects...if you want to dig in even further, add electromagnetic field in to some of the search queries
