AN X-FLARE FROM ‘THE DANGER ZONE’: Sunspot AR3576 erupted today (0653 UT) producing a brief but intense X2.5-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw huge plumes of plasma fly away from the blast site.

As these images show, AR3576 is near the sun’s western limb, no longer facing Earth. You might think that means our planet is safely outside the line of fire. In fact, the opposite is true. AR3576 is entering a ‘danger zone’ where the sun and Earth are magnetically connected. This phenomenon is explained in more detail below.

The flare hit Earth with a pulse of energetic protons, shown here in a plot from NOAA’s GOES-18 satellite:

The magnetic connection between Earth and AR3576 allowed this pulse to reach us despite the fact that the sunspot is not facing our planet. Notably, the pulse was relatively rich in “hard protons” with energies > 50 MeV, which are effective at upsetting satellite electronics.

Another X-flare from AR3576 this weekend could trigger a full-fledged radiation storm. Possible effects include high-latitude radio blackouts, fogged cameras on Earth-orbiting satellites, and elevated levels of radiation on commercial air flights. Stay tuned

THE DANGER OF SUNSPOTS THAT DON’T FACE EARTH: Big sunspot AR3576 is about to disappear over the sun’s western limb. This makes it uniquely dangerous. Scroll past this farewell shot from astronomer Philippe Tosi to find out why:

Sunspots located near the sun’s western limb are magnetically connected to Earth. The sun’s magnetic field spirals around like a lawn sprinkler–a shape known as the “Parker spiral.” Lines of magnetic force coming out of the western limb curve around and touch our planet.

9 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI) – Day 9 of 13 of 1 Transformer/CIMI trecena.

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

Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.

Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength or character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness.

A GOOD DAY TO: Commune with and give thanks to Mother Nature.

Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians. Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Panthers have unlimited imaginations, visualizations, and are spellbinding speakers. The Cherokee Totem Jaguar is the guardian of the portals to other dimensions; shamanic abilities will open; multi-dimensional magic; healer, leader, way shower energy when used for spiritual growth. Conducive to pray for grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters and wives day. For wisdom at 4 Balances, cunning and protection of Mother Nature. To thank the Earth for sustenance. Ix is the native cunning, enterprising, vigorous, bold and realistic.
