Peaking in Altitude: Sept. 26th and 29th
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/24/2024
BRIGHT MORNING COMET: The week has barely begun, and Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) has already tripled in brightness. “Here is a sequence of the comet rising over the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona on Monday morning,” says photographer Chris Schur of Payson, AZ:
“The comet was not visible to the naked eye–the sky was just too bright so close to sunrise,” says Schur. “Using 15x60mm binoculars I could see a stellar nucleus and a puff of coma (the comet’s atmosphere).” Once Schur found the comet, he pointed his 8-inch telescope in that direction and took the photo shown above.
The view is about to improve. Every day this week, the comet will climb higher in the morning sky, peaking in altitude between Sept. 26th and 29th, as high as 16 degrees for some observers. It will also increase in brightness. “The comet seems to brighten half a magnitude every few days!” says Schur, who estimates its current magnitude to be +3.5. Extrapolating, that means it could be about as bright as a first magnitude star by this weekend.
You don’t need a telescope to photograph the comet. “I used a vintage Pentax camera,” says Chaim Scowcroft, who yesterday captured an excellent image from Oahu, Hawaii:

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): A lopsided halo CME is expected to graze Earth’s magnetic field on Sept. 25-26. The impact could cause a G1-class geomagnetic storm. NOAA’s model predicts a strike on Sept. 25th; NASA’s model predicts the 26th. The difference gives a sense of the uncertainty in this low-confidence forecast.
Mayan Time…

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.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
A GOOD DAY TO: Rise to a higher perspective.
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.
