More like astrology if you ask me.Oh brother... we have people here who are trying to interpret prophecies with astronomy. Revelation 12:1-2 has nothing to do with space.

John is merely being given a representation of that "woman" symbolizing Israel. Genesis 37 in Joseph's dream is where those symbols of the 12 stars, sun, and moon, are given:It says that a great sign appears in heaven:
"And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Revelation 12:9 tells us the title of "dragon" is another name for Satan. Thus Satan is that "red dragon".And then it says that another sign, a second sign, appears in heaven:
The sign appears in heaven.
"And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.
I know Satan, working through Herod, tried to kill baby Jesus in the first century. But the Son of Man was caught up to God and to His throne. But this isn't JUST about that. The subject of the prophecy is about a sign that appears in heaven. And another sign, a second sign, that also appears in heaven.
These would seem to be describing a celestial representation of real events that have taken place. A prophetic prologue to Satan, the great dragon that was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, prior to his attack on God's People throughout medieval Europe.
Has nothing to do with space?

Revelation 12:1 - 12:5 is in reference to the stars in sky.
Looks like there's two Revelation 12 signs, 7 years apart.
And two solar eclipses 7 years apart.
There are other reasons that lead me to seriously suspect that the same prophetic "time", that Jesus was talking about early in mark, is fulfilled.
Again.
“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
