The Power and Scale of the Sun’s Light

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 05/22/2025

SOLAR PLASMA FOREST: If trees were five times taller than our entire planet and made of hot plasma, this is what the forest would look like:

 

This is an 8-hour movie recorded May 20thby David Wilson using a backyard solar telescope in Inverness, Scotland. It shows a massive solar prominence twisting and turning over the western limb of the sun. The limbs and trunks of these “trees” are made of magnetic fields, while the woody flesh is actually ionized hydrogen gas.

The prominence is still there today. Solar photographers, take a look!

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on May 23rd when a CME might deliver a glancing blow to Earth’s magnetic field. A miss is just as likely as a hit, so this is an uncertain forecast.

Sunspots are quiet today, though Earth is moving through the Solar Winds from a gaping coronal hole.

HOUSE-SIZED ASTEROID BUZZES EARTH: Newly discovered asteroid 2025 KF made a close approach to Earth last night—skimming by at a distance of just 0.3 lunar distances, or approximately 72,000 miles. Australian astrophotographer Dennis Simmons captured the space rock’s fleeting visit from Brisbane:

“I’d been browsing Spaceweather when I noticed the flyby alert,” says Simmons. “So I set up to see if I could record this fast-moving NEO.”

The 20-meter-wide asteroid was speeding across the night sky at a rate that challenged amateur tracking systems. Simmons relied on NASA JPL Horizons data rather than his mount’s native planetarium software, which was off by nearly 6 degrees. “JPL was bang on the target,” he confirmed.

2025 KF was discovered only two days ago by astronomers at the MAP project in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Despite its close approach, the asteroid posed no danger to Earth. One day, though, such an advance warning might save us from Armageddon.

Mayan Calendar Time

In the trecena of 1 Jaguar/IX the meaning of Time is to grow our Tree of Life by the Light of Spirit that flows within. 2 Eagle/MEN represents the perspective of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations. In the beginning 20 days of Human’s calendar our first priority was to become Conscious of the Light shared from Above. In the 2nd cycle of creation (Jaguar/IX), we draw on the Unseen Intentions of Spirit to see the future. We’re branching, like the eaglets at Big Bear Valley, learning to grasp a foundational Truth to expand our reach to the Heart of Sky.

Ask and you shall receive. Engage the Truth of Spirit to branch out and to multiply the abundance of Supernatural Faith in the future. A Divine Cause always leads to a Divine Effect. A change of 1 degree can lead us to a new destination in a matter of Time. It’s Time to focus on our Highest Hopes and to leave our fears behind. All living things respond to the Light.

THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT

UPDATE: The Fledge Watch of the eaglets in Big Bear Valley
The eaglets could very well take off in the trecena of Jaguar/IX. They are learning to grasp in their final effort of “branching.” They are exercising their wings and lifting off in the nest. Sonny, the daring one, hanging out with Mom beyond the guardrails on the front porch. He jumped back in the nest to play pickup sticks with Gizmo and helped groom his feathers. That’s where he spent the night.

Visit Friends of Big Bear Valley Live Eagle Cam to see what their up to right now.

THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT

Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.

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.
