Answer:

Yes

How do the heavens ‘blaze forth’ the death of Julius Caesar?

Calpurnia describes several strange occurrences in the 'heavens.' In the proper form of combat, fierce warriors fought atop the skies. The Capitol was drenched in blood from the skies. Graves opened, and the dead bodies emerged. These omens and horrifying images were completely unusual. Comet firing 'brings forth the murder of princes.' These omens from the 'heavens' foretell Caesar's death.
