Star jelly, also known as astral jelly, astromyxin, or star rot, is a gelatinous substance that is often reported to appear on the ground or on plants, usually after meteor showers. Historical references to this enigmatic substance date back to the 14th century. The earliest known mentions describe it as a translucent, gelatin-like material that was believed to fall from the sky during meteor showers.
The idea of Lemuria emerged in the mid-19th century when zoologist Philip Lutley Sclater proposed it in his 1864 article The Mammals of Madagascar.
The concept of Lemuria originated as a scientific hypothesis but evolved into a mythical and speculative idea over time. Proposed as a geological explanation, it later became entwined with esoteric, cultural, and spiritual narratives, influencing popular culture and speculative theories.
