Involuted Passage
Currently
Swirling and slightly precessing, surrounded with long whorls of pulsating dark blue light which spiral inward, the body appears to be pulling itself into a tight point. It continues to grow ever brighter as it periodically - though without any observable pattern - flashes with angry white intensity.
And, if a Moon Mage: Though no charts or models have succeeded in modeling the body, astronomers and astrologers alike are in agreement that it is nearing the end of some kind of sequence, however, remain academically divided as to its true nature.

History
Original Appearance
Only recently formed or observed in the night sky, little is known about this object. It appears as a faintly visible smudge of hollow, pale light, and seems to be jittering in place.
And, if a Moon Mage: Hovering at the limit of your perception, the object remains an uncertainty. While guild astronomers assert that it is nothing more than the birth of a new star, their astrologer contemporaries warn of what may come.
Developing Appearance
Slowly developing, it remains unclear what phenomena dictates the evolution of this object. Presently it appears as streak of light whose ends are approximately 5 degrees apart, occasionally bending at various angles before straightening again over the course of several minutes.
And, if a Moon Mage: Your prophetic senses ring oddly while observing the object, and you attempt to make sense of the pattern it creates over time. You feel that attempting to do so would lead to nothing more than frustration and a strong desire to to tear your starcharts and notes to shreds.
Evolving Appearance
Gradually evolving, this body appears to be traveling within our solar system. Presently it appears as arcing and bending lines, which gravitate around a black ring that is speckled with slowly shrinking blobs of hazy, dark blue.
And, if a Moon Mage: You feel a burst of uncertainty and cannot shake the impression of a deep chill. You have the strange impression that the phenomenon is somehow avoiding the orbits of nearby planets, though there has been no recorded changes to its progression across the night sky.
Accelerating Appearance
Gradually evolving, this body appears to be gaining speed as it travels within our solar system. Presently it appears as a vibrating whorl of pulsating dark blue light, fringed with radiating lines which sharply arc into nearly complete, expanding, fading, rings.
And, if a Moon Mage: You are filled with a sense of profound uncertainty, of standing at a crossroads. The phenomenon feels closer, despite remaining constant in size against the night sky, and you have the unsettling impression that it is focused on Elanthia.
Orbiting Appearance
Continuing to develop, this body has now achieved a synchronous orbit with Elanthia, maintaining a fixed position in the sky. A coalescing whorl of pulsating dark blue light, it appears to be growing in luminosity, shedding expanding rings of harsh light.
And, if a Moon Mage: Based on the Nascent Unknown's progression, you feel that it is now orienting itself -- perhaps with intentionality -- and have the harrowing sensation of looking down the shaft of a notched and drawn arrow.
