DAYTIME AURORAS OVER ‘THE ISLAND OF POLAR BEARS’: It’s not easy to see auroras in the middle of the day when the sky is suffused with sunlight. Yet that is exactly what happened to Marjan Spijkers on Dec. 1st when he looked up at noon and saw the Northern Lights.

 

“I took this picture from Svalbard, a group of isles about 1300 km south of the North Pole,” says Spijkers. “The famous polar night has started here, which means that the sun stays below the horizon 24 hours a day, and it is dark enough to see Lady Aurora around the clock.”

Although it is technically “night,” the noontime sky in Svalbard still contains some blue, framing auroras in a rare palette of daytime hues. Svalbard, known as “the island of polar bears” because of its large population of Ursus maritimus, is one of the few inhabited places in the world where this can be seen.

There’s something else unusual about these auroras: They are caused by solar particles entering our atmosphere from the dayside of the magnetosphere. Most aurora watchers get only the nightside mix. Is there a difference? There are too few sightings to know. Daytime auroras are that rare.

UPDATED GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): NOAA forecasters have downgraded the current geomagnetic storm watch from G2 (Moderate) to G1 (Minor). This is in response to the late arrival of a solar wind stream flowing from a huge coronal hole. Despite this development, high-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras on Dec. 5th. A glancing-blow CME may yet provide a light show.

THE TRECENA OF CROCODILE/IMIX: DAWN OF A NEW AWAKENING

1 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI) – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Crocodile/IMIX trecena, the Beginning of Everything we Dreamed before, carried to Higher Ground

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 1: Unity. The beginning of all things, the first and the whole, the all of one, assertive and self guided these persons give a good push to whatever project they are associated. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect one person’s to be attentive to details or put the finishing touches on things.

Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.

A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.

Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI  I’SB:  Symbol, Turtle Island. Direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan this is the Cosmic Hearth.  Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. TOTEM Imix/Dragon – Energy to understand all things sacred. Creation energy, connection for visions to learn the mysteries of the Universal knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.
