Spaceweather.com: Deep Crescent Of The Annular Eclipse, Taken by Eliot Herman on October 14, 2023 @ Albuquerque New Mexico
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: OCT 17, 2023
A VERY DEEP CRESCENT: “Annular eclipses produce amazing crescents,” says Eliot Herman, who, on Oct 14th, photographed this one from the path of annularity near Albuquerque New Mexico.
“I captured this picture using a Questar telescope, Questar Solar filter, IR cut filter and a Nikon Z7II,” says Herman. “Questars have been used by eclipse chasers for decades and have a historic relationship with eclipse photography. To use one for this purpose feels like it links to eclipses of the past.”
The Questar gave this crescent a truly vintage vibe. But who needs a telescope? Other photographers captured the eclipse using crackers, colanders, lemon squeezers, lawn chairs, leafy trees, mirrors, human fingers, dogs and more.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): A magnetic filament connected to sunspot AR3467 erupted on Oct. 16th, hurling a CME into space. It is not heading directly for Earth. However, a NASA model suggests it might deliver a glancing blow late on Oct. 19th. If so, the off-target CME could cause a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become caretakers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.
A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service.
Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbol is Rainbow, a delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. The Natal day sign of Medicine, the Shaman, the Priest, the Healer, and the Sorcerer; Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom. Rattlesnake Tooth in the Sky is the Rainbow. It is a brilliant display of the Sun ray’s in seven colors, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Day and Night, Sun and Moon, Physical and Spiritual join in a glorious display of the Heavens. To project this image requires water and Light, the great healer of all life.
