: Departing sunspot AR3664 (3697) produced another X-flare today (1108 UT). The X1.5-class explosion occurred just beyond the sun’s western limb and was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. As a result, it was not very geoeffective. The explosion did not reverse the decline of today’s ongoing radiation storm, nor did it produce an Earth-directed CME. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

3 MILLON YEARS AGO, AN INTERSTELLAR CLOUD HIT EARTH: Today, Earth is in a safe space. Like all the other planets in the Solar System, it is cocooned within the sun’s magnetic field–a giant bubble called “the heliosphere.” The heliosphere protects us from dangerous things in the Galaxy like interstellar clouds and cosmic rays.

3 million years ago, the heliosphere may have collapsed. A new paper just published in Nature Astronomy argues that a dense cloud of gas hit the Solar System, compressing the heliosphere to a fraction of its usual size.

“Earth suddenly was outside the protective bubble,” says Merav Opher of Boston University, the paper’s lead author. “Earth and all the planets were exposed to massive amounts of hydrogen, increased radiation, and interstellar dust.”

Researchers have long wondered if something happened to Earth 2 to 3 million years ago. Deep-sea sediments, Antarctic snow, and lunar samples from that time period all contain extraterrestrial radioactive isotopes (iron-60 and plutonium-244). The peak is quite striking.

A nearby supernova might have peppered Earth with these substances, but Opher and colleagues had a different idea. In the constellation Lynx there is a ribbon-shaped cluster of dense interstellar clouds. Using a velocity model for the clouds, they found that the sun and at least one of the clouds may have crossed paths 2 to 3 million years ago

“We show that during the cloud’s passage, the heliosphere shrinks to a scale of 0.22 AU, smaller than the Earth’s orbit around the sun,” says Opher. According to their simulation, the helioshere was compressed and stretched into a tadpole-like structure with Earth’s orbit (red circle) on the outside:

There is some evidence that Earth cooled while it was outside the heliosphere. Deep in our oceans, fossils of tiny marine organisms known as foraminifera preserve ancient climate data. Oxygen isotopes in those fossils suggest the temperature dropped 2–3 million years ago. Could this be a result of interstellar gas and cosmic rays altering our atmosphere?

“This idea should be revisited with modern atmospheric modelling,” the authors urge.

Eventually, the cloud passed and the heliosphere bounced back. “Earth was inside its protective bubble again,” says Opher. It’s a good place to be.

Many white coats agreed with holistics back then, too. Fauci and probably Trump, and Biden! are totalitarians. It all starts with telling you what to do with YOUR BODY, mandating it. Then what to do with your mind. Then what to do with your TIME. Take charge of your own destiny or lose it.

I’m not over the fact that most Americans were lockstep with their arm in air and were compliant and obeyed. I never was once and banned from all social media bc of it. Feather in my cap.

Take charge of your own body, mind, and time. Time is DNA, your DNA.

Enlarge and read each one of these to understand the context within which WE HAVE TIME in the body to learn, teach, get centered and be of service to humanity at this critical juncture for our precious little planet.

Our LOCAL universe is Nebadon, and our little planet is Urantia/Earth in the local language, out on the south end. It is in the system of Satania, which was just great until the angels of light, Lucifer and Satan, lost their minds. S… happens, and it happened to us. The universe is NOT perfect because of free will. Only Paradise is perfect. All entities up to high levels have the right to be wrong so that real love can exist with choice. We do not live in a totalitarian universe but an evolving, eternal one that loves and nurtures all creatures as a parent to a child. We are adults, but all are children of God.

Christ Michael, J.C. is our sovereign, a descended Son of God, from Source to us, and can not be usurped in his perfection as human and divine. I work under his authority only.

In the Urantia Book, it tells of how Joseph’s family in Nazareth (Joseph IS his father, the Bible was edited), tried to throw him over a cliff because Jesus would not cooperate or respect the Sanhedrin, Pharasees and Saducees. He would not cede his personal authority to the Jewish priests, Jesus being Jewish, but only to God.

Mary was a part of the Jewish sect The Essenes, as was John the Baptist, his cousin, Elizabeth’s son. They weren’t really taken seriously by the elite Jews.

‘: Multiple CMEs are heading for Earth (see the movie below). A new NOAA forecast model suggests that three of them could merge to form a potent “Cannibal CME.” Cannibal CMEs form when fast-moving CMEs overtake slower CMEs in front of them. Internal shock waves created by such CME collisions do an good job sparking geomagnetic storms when they strike Earth’s magnetic field. Indeed, NOAA is now predicting a severe storm on May 11th when the Cannibal arrives. CME impact alerts: SMS Text

A NOAA forecast model predicts that two or three of these CMEs could merge to form a Cannibal CME, which will strike Earth during the early hours of May 11th. Cannibal CMEs are notoriously good at sparking strong geomagnetic storms and low latitude auroras. In fact, NOAA is now predicting a G4-class (Severe) storm on May 11th when the Cannibal arrives.

So I guess it’s going to eat our flesh since it’s a Cannibal. Thanks, NOAA.

This weekend’s geomagnetic storm watch has been upgraded from G2 (Moderate) to G3 (Strong). Why? Because giant sunspot AR3664 keeps hurling CMEs toward Earth. There are now at least 3 storm clouds heading our way. See how many you can count in this 24-hour movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory:

A NOAA forecast model predicts the first CME will reach Earth late on May 10th. Additional CMEs will arrive on May 11th and possibly 12th. Minor to strong geomagnetic storms could occur on all three days, with auroras potentially visible at mid-latitudes in Europe and the USA.

A CARRINGTON-CLASS SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR3664 has grown so large, it now rivals the great Carrington sunspot of 1859. To illustrate their similarity, we’ve added Carrington’s famous sketch (to scale) to a NASA photo of today’s sun:

Sprawling almost 200,000 km from end to end, AR3664 is 15 times wider than Earth. You can see it through ordinary eclipse glasses with no magnification at all. Moreover, it is easy to project an image of this sunspot onto the sidewalk or a white screen just as Carrington did in the 19th century.

Carrington’s sunspot is famous because in August and Sept. 1859 it emitted a series of intense solar flares and CMEs. The resulting geomagnetic storms set fire to telegraph offices and sparked auroras from Cuba to Hawaii. The “Carrington Event” has since become a touchstone of space weather in pop culture, with recent headlines stoking fears of an “internet apocalypse” if it repeats.

Indeed, it could repeat. Studies suggest that Carrington-class storms occur once every 40 to 60 years, so we’re overdue. CMEs currently en route to Earth will not cause a new Carrington Event; they are puny compared to the CMEs of 1859. Nevertheless, it would be wise to keep an eye on this growing active region while Earth is in its strike zone. CME impact alerts: SMS Text

Look at the center of the arches. For as long as I’ve been tracking ScR, I have never seen that vertical  pulse.

That wave is the primary holonomic radiologic field pattern, and it’s showing as the ELM background of the magnetosphere. It appears to us as the auroras. That’s the visual aspect of our time harmonic.

What goes through the center of it? The axis of the eternal present. As time it looks like this:

Anyway, onward. Should be interesting days ahead. Do pay attention to the sun, meditate in the sun, and listen to your body intuition. If you listen to the earth and the sun, you will be given a signal. 🙏

DOUBLE CME STRIKE (UPDATED): Two CMEs struck Earth’s magnetic field on May 2nd. Individually, the impacts were minor, but together they sparked a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm with auroras as far south as Washington in the USA. Another CME is expected to sideswipe Earth’s magnetic field on May 4th. Aurora alerts: SMS Text

COMET 12P/PONS-BROOKS AND THE SOLAR WIND: “Solar wind” is a relatively new idea. The first scientist to think of it may have been Sir. Arthur Eddington who, in 1910, suggested that Comet Morehouse might be shaped by some unseen gaseous outflow from the sun. Astronomers didn’t think much of his suggestion. It might have been an easier sell if they had seen this picture of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks:

Michael Mattiazzo photographed the comet on April 30th from Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia. “The comet’s tail is incredibly active,” he says.

Most of the ripples, curls, and streamers captured so beautifully in Mattiazzo’s photo are caused by the buffeting of solar wind. Not only that, the comet’s tail is pointing directly away from the sun–another sign that Eddington’s “outflow” really exists.

Eventually, Eddington’s idea started to catch on among other researchers, although it was a slow process with widespread acceptance taking almost 50 years. American astrophysicist Eugene Parker coined the term “solar wind” around 1957. In January 1959, the Soviet spacecraft Luna 1 directly observed the solar wind and measured its strength for the first time.

This month, amateur astronomers in the southern hemisphere can behold the effects of solar wind with their own eyes. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is emerging from an April close encounter with the sun (perihelion), and its wind-sculpted tail is a beautiful sight through backyard telescopes. Point your optics here.

All Sky Fireball Network Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth’s atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.

On May 02, 2024, the network reported 13 fireballs.
(7 eta Aquarid, 6 sporadics)

In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point–Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue). [Larger image] [movies]

Every planet has auroras because every planet has a magnetosphere because every planet has their own timing coordinates for their evolution to keep them on the cosmic circuits. This is axiomatic.

It’s only on earth that people have no clue about their proper timing coordinate because of the extraordinary evil heisting all of our energy dating back thousands of years. The combination of religion, government, and tech is trying to kill off humans, yet we persist.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): One or more CMEs could graze Earth on April 26-27, sparking a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. The CMEs were hurled into space earlier this week by explosive activity in sunspot super-group AR3638-50. CME impact alerts: SMS Text

GLOBAL AURORAS ON MARS: Earth isn’t the only planet with auroras. Mars has them, too–on a global scale.

“Mars is experiencing its greatest level of auroral activity in the past 10 years,” says Nick Schneider of the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP). “In February alone, there were three episodes of global auroras–an ‘aurora hat trick’ we’ve never seen before.”

Orbiting high above Mars, NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft recorded the auroras on 3-4 Feb, 7-10 Feb and 15-16 Feb. This animation shows the last two of these episodes in a looping time series:

Spaceweather.com actually predicted some of these events, prompted by SOHO coronagraph observations of CMEs heading toward Mars. “Your predictions came true!” says Schneider.

Schneider leads the team for MAVEN’s Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS), the instrument that detected the auroras. All the purple pixels in the animation are a false color representation of the aurora’s ultraviolet glow. Martian auroras probably have a visible light component, too, but MAVEN’s cameras are not able to see them.

Here on Earth we would love it if auroras were global. Seeing Northern Lights with equal ease from the equator and the poles would check off a lot of bucket lists. Be careful what you wish for, though. Martian auroras can be global because the Red Planet has almost no protection from solar storms. It lacks an Earth-like magnetic field, so particles from the sun penetrate its atmosphere with ease–everywhere.

The dramatic auroras of February 2024 were caused by “SEPs”–solar energetic particles. SEPs are accelerated by shock waves within approaching CMEs. When they strike Mars’s atmosphere, they cause it to glow.

“Mars is currently getting hit by roughly 1 to 2 CMEs every month, bringing a hefty supply of SEPs,” says Rebecca Jolitz, a member of the MAVEN Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) instrument team at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Lab. “However, a CME doesn’t actually have to hit to be effective. SEPs coming in sideways from ‘remote CMEs’ can light up the skies as well.”

Schneider and Jolitz are looking forward to the months ahead. “Solar Cycle 25 is far from over, and we expect many more CME strikes,” Schneider says. “This will give us a chance to study how solar storms affect the atmosphere of Mars–a key goal of the MAVEN mission. It’s the kind of fun we’ve been waiting for!”

Extra: Schneider notes that SEPs aren’t the only way to make auroras on Mars. Protons in the solar wind and magnetic reconnection can do the trick, too, producing their own forms and colors. Stay tuned for more stories about the rich variety of Martian auroras as Solar Cycle 25 unfolds.

LYRID METEOR ALERT: The first significant meteor shower in months is about to begin. The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks on the night of April 21-22 when Earth passes through a stream of debris from Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1). These meteors are best seen from the northern hemisphere where the radiant is high in the sky before dawn: sky map.

THIS IS THE WORST TIME TO OBSERVE ‘THE DEVIL COMET’: If you get your science news from mainstream media, you might think this weekend is a great time to observe Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, a.k.a. “The Devil Comet.” In fact, the opposite is true. The comet–barely a naked eye object on the best of nights–is almost completely overwhelmed by a combination of evening twilight and full Moonlight.

To illustrate the problem, Mike Olason photographed the comet sinking into the haze near of Tucson, Arizona, on April 20th:

“As one can see from the animation, the images were collected as twilight started to fade only to be replaced by moonshine from the 87% illuminated Moon,” says Olason. “It also did not help that the comet was at an altitude below 6 degrees. Most of the tail and coma were washed out by light pollution, twilight, Moonlight and atmospheric interference.”

The kernel of truth in mainstream reports is that Comet 12P is at perihelion on April 21st–its closest approach to the sun. Solar heat is indeed brightening the comet to its maximum luminosity. However, Earth and the comet are far apart on opposite sides of the sun, and we have to squint through the glare of the sun to see the comet.

It all adds up to poor visibility–for now. In May the comet will move away from the sun and into the night skies of the southern hemisphere. In fact, astronomer Michael Mattiazzo is already seeing it from Australia.

YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO CLICK ON THIS IMAGE: The white-light sun is a blinding ball of featureless light. But… if you filter the light, and look only at the narrow range of wavelengths emitted by hydrogen, the true sun is revealed. This weekend in Kentucky, amateur astronomer Richard Schrantz used a spectroheliograph to do just that, and here is what he saw:

Click on the image for full resolution–and “make sure you look using a large desktop monitor,” says Schrantz. “The sunspot complex centered on AR3645 has lots of fine detail.”

A spectroheliograph is a special telescope which can photograph the sun at a single narrow wavelength of light–in this case, the “H-alpha” wavelength emitted by solar hydrogen. Schrantz’s spectroheliograph image reveals not only a large number of sunspots, but also an even larger number of filaments–magnetic tubes filled with dense hydrogen snaking across the solar disk. These filaments can erupt to produce solar flares and CMEs much like sunspots do; they significantly boost the odds of solar activity. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text
