Time Innovation: Decoding the Harmonic Time Cycles of the Sun
Copyright Lisa K. Townsend
I think the name Sun Worshipers is a misnomer. As far as I know, the Maya observed, tracked, and honored the sun. I don’t know that I’d classify that as worship. They also had the concept of Hunab Ku or the galactic center.
From the very far left across the top line horizontally, I count 13 sunspots. If I go down to strong sunspots near the S. Polar Zone under the brown globular spots (of which there are 13) I see 12 strong brown spots. But one could assume there is a spot on the far left that is not seen, just as on the top line. That would be 2, 13-day cycles which is also in the Harmonic.
The small grouping of 4 small small spots under the top horizontal line of strong brown sunspots look like the 4-day cycle to me. They are in a uniform pattern as well.
As I look at the sun as a mirror of the harmonic, I have to wonder what is happening on the other side that we don’t see.
This is an image of sunspots over August. It is a great demonstration of the orderly progression of sunspots that characterize the crossover polarity in the binary triplet configuration of the Maya Time Harmonic. These are the sunspots over just August 2024.
For us, that is kin 26 to kin 53, which starts a new 52-day cycle. When I view the sun through the Harmonic cycles, the sunspots are exact, but that is 31 days which is not a harmonic cycle.
I looked at my app and the Harmonic for Aug. 1, 2024, it was Red 12 Serpent, which is the end of the N. Polar Zone. The N. Polar Zone of Earth are the first 5 horizontal lines all the way across.
The next day, Aug. 2 begins the ZOT or Zone of Transformation with White 13 Worldbridger, my analog. As we march through August vertically, it ends on Aug. 31, 2024 on Blue 3 Eagle at the end of the ZOT for the 3rd 20-day cycle of the Harmonic.
The NEXT day, Yellow 4 Warrior begins the N. Polar Zone. It is in exact sync with the sun.
Remember, we are not on the Gregorian calendar 12:60 coordinate but 13-day cycles, 20-day cycles, and 52-day cycles to align the 13:20 coordinate.
The Zone of Transformation starts with the horizontal line of 13 White Worldbridger kin and ends with Blue Eagle line of 13 horizontal kin. Follow this red square to the next red square on the image below. That was August kin. But August is 31 days. We don’t observe that. We go
.
by 28 days x 13=364.
The center lines of sunspots program our Zone of Transformation on Earth, the latitudes between the equators 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.
Heliophysics is the scientific study of the sun, but they rely on machines. It’s just like sickcare. They use no intuition or bodymind. The sun, the body, and the earth are PHYSICAL. They aren’t mechanical. Time is physical. It’s DNA. It’s not a machine. Machines can help, but they can’t accurately analyze the truth about the event. Humans need to use their bodymind intuition and a machine to help calculate. Machines calculate, they don’t feel or intuit like our higher rational mind. Don’t forget it. Most important they don’t love or know God. For atheists, this isn’t a problem because they don’t like love or believe in God. They prefer cold, unfeeling tech. That’s just peachy for our future.
Trying to understand the sun with machines is like asking a praying mantis to assess a cat. They have little in common. There is no affinity. Humans are very confused about what tools to use to observe natural phenomenon. Use natural tools to observe natural phenomenon first.

Have we finished our personal revolution and taken better charge of our bodymind and it’s evolution? Tomorrow is an OMEGA point, a time pivot, and a 3D retreat with TAA the Stop Codon governing the 4-day harmonic. Today is the PRETEXT.
NOAA AND NASA have apparently CENSORED THE SUN and will not let its actions be known to us. I check Spaceweather.com daily Why am I not surprised since black ops owns them.
Sun news: New view of a colossal solar blast
The sun created the world and all life on it via directions from the galactic center. An AI mechanistic machine supercomputer is playing at God. It will never be God. The sooner the AI prophets get their heart in the game, bend a knee to Christ our Creator and great friend, and calm down their egos, the more likely it is they, and us, will survive.
Mercury turns direct today in synchronicity with the end of this 20-day cycle of time.
We’re at the end of the Mystic Column with no electrical polarity, no time, no binary, and moving fully manifested in the ILLUSIVE future of 1+ and 1- where there is time, binary, polarity, everything normal in your face but now more focused on the future. The tension will rise, and now, I predict, so will solar flares, the amps, the frequencies, and the Qfactor because the cause of the action is TIME.
Time is a Maya illusion and a very meaningful one for learning soul lessons. The first lesson should be that we live in a mans’ mechanistic machine money monkey mind world where…
NATURE RULES AND EVENTUALLY HAS ITS WAY.

Spacetime Hologram Sync
10 Pluto, Venus, Mercury, and 4 Neptune are pulsing in time to affect our perception of life around us.
- Mercury stations and turns direct, ending its retrograde cycle that’s been with us since July 18th. This shift brings with it the potential for improved communication and decision-making. Over the coming weeks, problems we may have encountered while Mercury was retrograde should start to improve.The answers we’ve been waiting for arrive, and plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. However, energies that are hard to make sense of can flood our consciousness as the change takes place today, such that critical decision-making might be avoided for the time being, as our thinking can be temporarily skewed. It’s not yet a time of keen judgment as we don’t have all the details. However, clarity is coming, and things are moving forward. (This is our antipode, White 10 Planetary Dog, manifested Christ energy is a challenge on earth. SYNC)
- Saturn forms a sextile with Uranus, and this is the second time this outer-planet transit with longer-term influence perfects (the first happened while Saturn and Uranus were in different signs, on April 4th, 2025, and the third will occur on January 20th, 2026). With this influence, we’re more likely to be doing what we enjoy and enjoying what we’re doing. Events occurring now build character, and life lessons are digestible. It’s a period of solid, meaningful progress. This can be a time to solidify connections, bond with allies, and work on the primary structures of our lives. The changes we make can have long-lasting benefits. Original ideas may now take form or develop quite successfully. There is an opportunity to combine stability with improvement/excitement, leading to good results. The same can be said about innovation and tradition.
- We’re heading toward a Venus-Jupiter alignment in the sign of Cancer, and we’re radiating kindness and warmth and attracting happy situations. We’re not letting responsibilities or limitations stop us from enjoying ourselves. It’s a time of increased trust, tolerance, and generosity, especially with our feelings, as well as an inclination to indulge. (This is our guide Power, Yellow 10 Planetary Star. SYNC)
- The Moon is void from 2:55 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Aries the next day, Tuesday, August 12th, at 6:34 AM EDT.

Time Innovation: Polarity reversal showing up on the Sun JUST AS I SAW IT AND POSTED ON IT
A SUNSPOT WITHIN A SUNSPOT? Sunspot 4172 looks like an ordinary sunspot group. However, data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory reveals something different–a possible sunspot within a sunspot.
This is a magnetic map of the sunspot group. The expected polarity of a sunspot in the sun’s northern hemisphere is . Indeed, Sunspot 4172 has that polarity. But it also has a knot of reversed polarity embedded within it. (Note the circled region in the animation, above.) Is this a strange mish-mash of opposite polarity sunspots? If so, it is unstable and likely to explode.

Saturday-The Role of Stop Codons in Evolution: A Cosmic Perspective
We begin a new 13-day cycle today called Yellow Sun Four. This is the power of Universal Fire. Glenn Gould, Venus Williams, Sister Theresa, Agatha Christie, Ralph Nader, and Thelonius Monk have this as their birth gateway. This is the revolving dimensional door with Yellow 13 Sun, kin 260, as It’s 5GForce. See below. WE ARE ABLE TO SELF-REGULATE OUR OWN PURPOSE! It’s programmed into our bodies. No government, religion, family member, universe personality, bossy human like mates and children or so-called friends have the right to tell us how to live our lives and what direction to go. Humans allow that far too much and it will end the species if people don’t get a grip on their own bodymind. That’s why I keep blogging. Free will is a universal law and then based on your choices, karma and dharma kick in.

What is the Stop Codon?
Stop Codons Mark the End of Translation The end of the protein-coding message is signaled by the presence of one of three codons (UAA, UAG, or UGA) called stop codons (see Figure 6-50). These are not recognized by a tRNA and do not specify an amino acid, but instead signal to the ribosome to stop translation.

I’ve never brought this up, but these kin are not essentially evolving protein in time. Meaning, Yellow Sun Kin are on a completely different frequency than the rest of us. Their manifestation is a pure illusion and they very possibly are the key people on the planet to exhibit a light body that we can see. Their purpose is enlightenment. I would need to talk to some Yellow kin people and see what their experience is with their bodies to understand this further. In addition, when we get into the lab there should be something very different about the DNA markers in their blood but I don’t know what that would be at this point.

The 13-day cycle sequence is Cysteine, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Serine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine (start codon), Aspartic Acid, Asparagine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Lysine, Arginine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan, Stop Codon (might be Proline; https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-021-02115-z)
For anyone who has my book, I discuss the role of Proline amino acid as a Stop Codon on page 97. Proline is the secondary stop to Nitrogen. But nitrogen is not an amino acid. It attaches to carbons and is part of an amine compound that has nitrogen. But nitrogen is IN every living thing and is fixed by Tryptophan, Blue Storm, during a lightening storm. All of our plasma proteins in all living things come through the solar wind, including nitrogen so the ACTIONS of nitrogen are sort of like oxygen in our bodies. Without oxygen our blood won’t move and we’d be dead, but it is NOT blood. It’s IN the blood though. Nitrogen must be in all DNA. In fact it has to be FIXED in our DNA by electromagnetism. Proline moves nitrogen into the side chain. The polypeptide chain in the double helix has to reverse polarity and change direction. Proline accomplishes this.
Nitrogen is an element that is part of all life forms like carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

- The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 7:29 AM EDT, when it moves into Leo. (Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is our theme, and Guide Power today. SYNC) The Leo Moon is bold, creative, and competitive.
- Its alignment with Mars this evening awakens and intensifies emotional desires.
- Today’s Mars-Jupiter semi-square generates loads of enthusiasm and paves the way for potential success and achievement. However, this transit can also lead to misjudging, mainly about the time and energy necessary to fulfill a goal or venture.
There can be some jumping ahead, impulsiveness, haughtiness, and competitiveness. It’s best to wait out sudden urges since they may not hold weight over time. We should also make it a goal to manage disorganization and avoid taking on too many activities at once. - The Moon is void from 4:02 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Saturn), until the Moon enters Leo at 7:29 AM EDT.

The Sun has DNA. I’m as Surprised as Anyone
Once again my intuition leads me to ask these questions that most people would answer, “Of course not. It doesn’t have a body and isn’t conscious.” Yes, it does and yes it is. Second, having a body like we do and being conscious as we are doesn’t dictate DNA. How very cool. I’m in a good mood now.
“Sun’s ‘DNA’ revealed — ScienceDaily” https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110706094335.htm#:~:text=Scientists%20reached%20this%20conclusion%20after,rise%20to%20the%20solar%20system.
“Solar nitrogen is very different from that of meteorites or the Earth. Science reached this conclusion after analyzing samples of solar wind collected by the Genesis space mission launched by NASA in 2001. They succeeded in determining the isotopic composition of the Sun, its “DNA”, which reflects the composition of the cloud of gas and dust that gave rise to the solar system.”-Science Daily,, Jul 6, 2011
The sun is composed of hydrogen, helium, and some nitrogen. Note that the main component of water is Hydrogen…and it’s on the Sun. Meditate on that.
Wednesday-Understanding the Yellow Sun’s Role in DNA Evolution
We’re at the end of the 20-day cycle run and will move to the top to Red Dragon tomorrow. We always hit Yellow Sun at the end of 20 days. Yellow Sun is the stop codon in an evolving DNA sequence in all life. But it sends a signal up to the sun and then out into our system as a status report. The 5th dimensional GForce is always Yellow Sun too at the end of 20 days proving my point. The Sun is our life and controls time for us. Don’t take it for granted or throw shade at it.

- This is our antipode challenge, 2Dog opposing 12 Dragon; birth family issues, and communication. SYNC. Mercury opposes Neptune this morning but heads toward a trine to Pluto later today. This is our theme, 2Human~2Hand SYNC.
- This is the same time alignment as above. Big SYNC. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune can obscure our viewpoint.We may vacillate between two very different visions of a matter when the truth is likely somewhere in between. Discrepancies that challenge our thinking can emerge, and concentrating on technical facts can be difficult. We could find ourselves on a mental teeter-totter, see-sawing between fact and fiction! If our minds wander now, it may be that we have recently neglected to feed our imaginations. With this transit, we should watch for misrepresenting ourselves, overlooking critical practical details, and self-defeating thoughts. However, this can be a good time to stretch our thinking. It is also a time to dream up possibilities we might miss on a regular day. As the day advances, however, our resolve and concentration strengthen. There can be an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. We gravitate to looking for truths and unexplored topics and ideas. It’s a time to gain a deeper understanding of a matter. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. We might discover new information that gives us an edge. We might finally “see” the truth of a matter we have been avoiding. It’s an excellent time to let go of something that has kept us bound to negative elements of the past.
- A Mars-Uranus semi-square, a potentially challenging aspect, adds an impatient edge to the day’s energies. This could lead to conflicts or impulsive behaviors, especially if we feel trapped, restricted, or limited. We should watch for these tendencies while seeking creative, inventive ways to get ahead.
- This affects our PLUTO mediated theme and brings around reality and grounding. SYNC. Also, today, Saturn forms a semi-square with Pluto. This is the second of three formations. The first one happened in May 2024. The third is set to occur in January 2025.
This outer planet transit with longer-term influence points to possible power struggles, frustration, and manipulation. We may recognize the need for change but feel blocked by others or by circumstances. We might also attempt to stubbornly hold on to what has worked for us in the past. However, persistence will pay off in the end, and the need to adjust our expectations becomes obvious. This is a time to be determined and adaptable.

The Sun is regularly X-flaring
X flare is as big as they get.
GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2): NOAA forecasters say that G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible on May 31st when a CME hurled into space by yesterday’s X-flare grazes Earth’s magnetic field. This forecast is uncertain. NOAA’s model predicts a stiff glancing blow, while NASA’s model suggets a near miss. If an impact does occur, the resulting storm could extend into June 1st. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Old sunspot AR3664 isn’t as big as it used to be, but it is still very active. On May 29th (1437 UT), it produced an X1.4-class solar flare:
Note: The jiggling of the sun in this movie is not caused by the X-flare. Calibration offsets were underway during the flare. Credit: NASA/Solar Dynamics Observatory.
A pulse of extreme ultraviolet radiation produced a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Americas. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz for 60 to 90 minutes following the onset of the flare.
This explosion was remarkable for its duration. The X-class phase alone lasted more than an hour–plenty of time to lift a CME out of the sun’s atmosphere. Indeed, SOHO coronagraphs have detected a bright CME emerging from the blast site. NOAA models suggest it will reach Earth during the late hours of May 31st (around 2200 UT), delivering a glancing blow strong enough to spark a G2-class geomagnetic storm.

STRONGEST SOLAR FLARE OF THE CURRENT CYCLE: Yesterday, May 14th
We’re by no means done until Friday when we enter a new calmer time harmonic.
Spaceweather.com
(1651 UT), sunspot AR3664 unleashed the strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle–an X8.7-category blast from beyond the sun’s western limb. X marks the spot in this image from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory:
Because the sunspot is behind the edge of the solar disk, the flare was partially eclipsed. It was probably even stronger than it appeared. “X8.7″ is almost certainly an underestimate of the flare’s true strength.
Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth’s atmosphere, causing a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Americas. Ham radio operators, aviators and mariners may have noticed a sudden loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

AURORAS OVER THE GRAND CANYON: You know a solar storm is big when … it produces auroras over the Grand Canyon. Brian A. Klimowski photographed the rare display on May 11, 2024:
“This was just the afterglow of a more intense G5 storm on May 10th, but still so beautiful over the Canyon!” says Klimowski .
Geologists say that the Colorado River has been carving the Grand Canyon for 5 or 6 million years. No one knows how often auroras have been seen during that time. This is what we do know: The auroras of May 10-11, 2024, were among the most widespread of the past 500 years. (Synced with the epic time movement in the Harmonic.)

THE STORM IS OVER, BUT…
This weekend’s extreme geomagnetic storm is over, but there might be a last gasp. NOAA forecasters are currently predicting a return to severe (G4) conditions on May 12th when one or more CMEs might hit Earth’s magnetic field. Of particular interest is the CME from yesterday’s X5.8-class flare — a potent storm cloud that could spark renewed auroras if its internal magnetic field is oriented correctly.

EXITING THE STRIKE ZONE: Sunspot AR3664 is still a giant, easily the equal of Carrington’s sunspot, but it poses a declining threat to Earth. Why? Because it is exiting the strike zone. This picture from Philip Smith of Manorville NY shows the active region approaching the sun’s western limb:
CMEs emitted by the departing sunspot are no longer flying toward Earth. At most only glancing blows are likely from eruptions on May 12th through 14th.
The danger could return on May 15th, however. On that date the sunspot will pass through a region of the sun magnetically connected to Earth via the Parker Spiral. Subatomic debris (protons and electrons) from explosions on May 15th and 16th could spiral back to Earth and rain down our planet. This is called a “radiation storm;” it can upset satellite electronics and cause polar radio blackouts. (It can also make humans feel virusy sick.)

MY FIRST WARNING OF THE COMING STRONG SOLAR STRIKES
NOAA and NASA Spaceweather
An X level is the highest solar blast, and it’s hitting us May 5 and 6 and onward.
EARTH-DIRECTED CME–CONFIRMED: Today’s X-class solar flare (described below) did indeed produce a CME, and it has an Earth-directed component. NASA and NOAA forecast models suggest the southern flank of the CME will arrive on May 5th after 1800 UT. The impact could cause G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms on May 5th and 6th. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE (UPDATED): New sunspot AR3663 erupted this morning, May 3rd @ 0222 UT, producing an X1.6-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme ultraviolet flash:
Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth’s atmosphere and caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over Australia, Japan, and much of China: map. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal below 30 MHz for a half an hour after the flare’s peak.
Update: Shortly after the flare, the US Air Force reported a Type II solar radio burst, a type of natural radio signal emitted by shocked gas at the leading edge of a CME. Drift rates within the burst indicate a launch speed of 960 km/s (3.6 million mph). SOHO coronagraph images have since confirmed the existence of a CME. The bulk of the cloud will pass north of our planet, with its southern flank delivering a glancing blow late on May 5th. G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the CME arrives.

SPACEX SPIRAL SIGHTED DURING GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Last night, sky watchers in Europe went outside to observe the fading glow of a strong (G3) geomagnetic storm. “I was looking for aurora borealis after sunset, when suddenly a bright yellow object appeared near Polaris,” reports Gabriel Murawski from Dusia Lake, Lithuania. It was a SpaceX spiral:
Earlier the same day, SpaceX launched a pair of Earth observation satellites from California onboard a Falcon 9 rocket (May 2nd @ 1836 UTC). After deploying the satellites, the Falcon 9’s second stage performed a de-orbit burn; a bit of spin twisted the exhaust into a glowing spiral.
“It looked amazing!” says Murawski. “The spiral gliding next to the violet aurora borealis made a spectacular scene.”
Spirals are an increasingly routine by-product of SpaceX operations, with many recent Falcon 9 launches creating them. Similar swirls have been photographed over Norway, New Zealand, east Africa, Hawaii, and most famous of all, this specimen over Alaska. If you haven’t seen one yet, it may be just a matter of time.
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE SHIFTED TIME SIGNALS IN THE USA
It’s nice to have NOAA confirm what I’ve been saying for years. If time signals have shifted, that means time has shifted, and THE SUN did it just as I predicted in my blog posts.
Spaceweather.com
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a radio station in Fort Collins, Colorado. Call letters: WWV. Operating at multiple shortwave frequencies, WWV broadcasts precise time and frequency information 24/7 to listeners worldwide. On April 8, 2024, the frequency of WWV shifted:
This plot also contains data from WWV’s sister station in Hawaii, WWVH
“It was the solar eclipse,” says ham radio operator Kristina Collins (W8EDU) of Cleveland, Ohio, who assembled records from 13 monitoring stations in and around the path of totality. “The HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station Network’s Grape stations measure Doppler shift in the carrier signal of time standard radio stations such as WWV. On April 8th, the network saw a distinct S-curve signature associated with the eclipse.”
The Doppler shift occurred when the shadow of the Moon pierced the ionosphere (the magnetosphere), creating a temporary hole where ionization was reduced. This, in turn, altered the “skip distance” from transmitters to receivers, as shown in the diagram below:
Because the skip point was moving, reflected radio signals were naturally Doppler-shifted. Spaceweather.com reader and senior physicist Larry Carr of Brookhaven National Labs made this calculation: “Using the 10 MHz WWV frequency, an average shift of about 1/2 Hz implies the layer bottom (the ‘skip point’) was moving at speeds up to 15 m/s. During the entire eclipse, the reflecting layer moved on the order of 50 km.”
The total Doppler shift was only a few cycles per second, similar to normal night-day variations, so no one actually lost track of time during the eclipse. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating demonstration of an eclipse’s power to touch the Earth.

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM–THE STRONGEST IN YEARS: As predicted, a CME struck Earth’s magnetic field on March 24th (1437 UT). The impact opened a crack in our planet’s magnetosphere and sparked a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm–the strongest geomagnetic storm since Sept. 2017.
The timing of the CME did *not* favor observers in Europe or the United States. Instead, New Zealand got the light show:
“I woke up early and, when I saw that a storm was underway, jumped out of bed and raced to my favourite viewing spot at Hoopers Inlet (latitude +46 S),” says photographer Ian Griffin. “The beautiful aurora australis was easily visible despite clouds and bright moonlight.”
In England, it was broad daylight when the CME struck. Auroras could not be seen. Nevertheless, Stuart Green of Preston, England detected the storm using his backyard magnetometer:
“My magnetometer kicked into life mid-afternoon here in the UK,” says Green. “The arrival of the CME created a severe disturbance.”
The squiggles in Green’s chart represent changes in ground-level magnetic fields caused by the CME. “The sensor is buried in my garden about 0.5 meters below the surface in an East/West orientation,” he explains. “This allows very sensitive (sub nanotesla) measurements of magnetic declination during geomagnetic storms.”
Green built his own magnetometer from scratch. Would you like to do the same? Here’s how.
Rare Oval Moon Halo
BIG SUNSPOT ALERT: A big new sunspot is emerging from the farside of the sun. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory can see it rotating over the sun’s northeastern limb. It is too soon to say what kind of magnetic field the foreshortened active region possesses. A mixed-polarity field could lead to Earth-directed flares later this week. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text
OVAL MOON HALO: Moon halos (rings of light around the Moon caused by ice crystals in the air) are supposed to be circular. “Last Friday I looked out the window and saw a Moon halo–but it was not round at all,” says Lauri Kangas of Amethyst Bay, Ontario, Canada:
What he saw (and photographed above) was a circumscribed halo. “It was the most elliptically-shaped circumscribed halo I have ever seen,” says Kangas.
The circumscribed halo is a rarer sight than the more common 22º circular halo. It appears when moonlight is refracted by long pencil-shaped ice crystals in high cirrus clouds. These little frozen “pencils” slowly rain down from the clouds. Aerodynamic friction aligns them parallel to the ground, and when the alignment is almost perfect the circumscribed halo appears. For this reason, it is a rare sight indeed.

GEOMAGNETIC UNREST POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND: NOAA forecasters say that geomagnetric unrest is possible on Jan. 13th in response to one or more passing CMEs. These are near-miss CMEs, not direct hits. The ripple effect of the passing clouds is likely to disturb Earth’s magnetic field without triggering full-fledged geomagnetic storms. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
COMET 12P VISITS THE CRESCENT NEBULA: Astronomers around the world have been waiting for a geyser to blow on cryovolcanic Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. It’s overdue. Last night, the comet quietly passed by the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888):
Michael Jäger photographed the conjunction from his backyard observatory in Austria. The picture is a 10-minute exposure through 4 independent color filters: R, G, B and Hydrogen-alpha. The H-alpha filter captured the red glow of hydrogen in the nebula, while the G filter picked up green light from diatomic carbon in the comet’s atmosphere–a beautiful contrast in hue.
Comet 12P is drifting away from the nebula now. It’s still worth monitoring, though. An icy geyser has been breaking through comet’s crust every 15 days or so, and pressure is building for a new blast. Look for it in the constellation Cygnus.

SO MANY MAGNETIC FILAMENTS: Today, there are a dozen sunspot groups crossing the face of the sun. This spectroheliograph image reveals an even greater number of magnetic filaments:

Francois Rouviere captured the image from Cannes, France. It shows the sun in the monochromatic wavelength of red light emitted by solar hydrogen. Each irregular dark line is a magnetic tube filled with dense hydrogen gas. These filaments are just as likely to erupt as the sunspots, more than doubling the chances of a flare today.
