COMET 12P AND THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY: This week, cryovolcanic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is passing by the Andromeda Galaxy in the western evening sky. Petr Horálek photographed the wide conjunction from Revúca, Slovakia.

“This was wild,” says Horálek. “On March 5th, I drove 300 km to Telgart, Slovakia, where the forecast predicted clear skies. But the forecast was wrong! When I reached Telgart, the sky was hopelessly cloudy. I almost gave up and was returning home through truly thick fog when, abruptly, the sky cleared. I pulled into a field where the comet was low over the horizon and blindly took this exposure.”

It turned out pretty well.

Photographers, if you have clear skies, this is a good week to photograph Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. It is about 10 degrees from the Andromeda Galaxy and bright enough to catch with a short nighttime exposure. The Andromeda Galaxy is magnitude +3.4 (visible to the naked eye on moonless nights); Comet 12P is not far behind at magnitude +5.5. Point your cameras here.

If you have clear skies at the New Moon, March 10, 2024 should be the next best chance to see the comet clearly. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is expected to make another special appearance with the Solar Eclipse, April 8, 2024.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): NOAA has issued a minor geomagnetic (G1-class) storm watch for March 9th when a stream of solar wind is expected to graze Earth’s magnetic field. Normally, this low-impact solar wind stream wouldn’t cause a magnetic storm. However, at this time of year, even a gentle gust of solar wind can do the job because of the equinox Russell-McPherron effect.

3 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther SAHO’NI) – Day 3 of 13 of the 1 Road/EB Trecena

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

Galactic Tone 3: Action. Three is basic movement and communication, which begins as a vibration. Three energy is very eloquent in all types of self-expression. Communication is how Three establishes a point of agreement between any point “A” and any point “B”. Three persons are rhythmic to the core and are often restless, as motion is their nature. By working closely with the energy of Three, any person becomes more able to predict motions of all kinds.

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 and Give Thanks for 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 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.  Abuse would be for using this power for control or negative purposes; must find a powerful balance.
