Major Outbreak of Noctilucent Clouds

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 07/01/2025

A MAJOR OUTBREAK OF NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS: The night sky over Canada and Europe turned electric blue on June 29-30 during a major outbreak of noctilucent clouds (NLCs). “I captured two panoramas of the great display,” says Alan Dyer of Gleichen, Alberta. Here is a fraction of what he observed:

NLCs are Earth’s highest clouds (altitude 83 km). They appear every June when summertime wisps of water vapor rise to the edge of space and form rimes of ice around the ash of burned-up meteors. Fine ripples and a blue glow distinguish them from ordinary clouds.

Blue wasn’t the only color Dyer saw. Red was there, too:

What makes NLCs red? First, let’s understand what makes them blue. Spoiler alert: It’s ozone.

Research in the 1970s established that sunlight hitting noctilucent clouds first travels through Earth’s ozone layer. Ozone absorbs red light, while allowing blue to pass–hence the usual color of the clouds. On rare occasions, however, strong refraction bends red light from the sunset upward from the lower atmosphere. This light is so intense, not even ozone can stop it from painting the tops of the clouds red.

This was the biggest outbreak of the year with bright ripples visible as far south as Paris, France. Anyone living at mid-latitudes or above should be alert for NLCs. The best time to look is after sunset when geometry favors their visibility.

A CME IS COMING: But it’s not a big one. A minor CME is expected to strike Earth during the late hours of July 1st, according to a NASA model. The impact could spark G1-class geomagnetic storms with high-latitude auroras on July 2nd.

Mayan Calendar Time

The Reed/BEN trecena is a cycle of the incoming Light of Divine Inspiration. BEN is the guiding light for home and the Answer to a Prayer found in a Sanctuary within. Eagle holds Position 15, the symbol of Empowerment (5) times 3. 3 Eagle/MEN is Destiny Kin 55. In numerology, the master number 55 signifies a powerful energy of change, freedom, and adventure. The Eagle flies by Intuition. The Wind under its wings is the Truth we see from a Higher Perspective.

THE TRECENA OF REED/BEN: THE SANCTUARY OF HOME

The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.

1 Reed/BEN completes the 1st Season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. There’s something more to see when you discern the meaning of the day for yourself. The secret lies in the thoughts on your mind.

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.

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: Ascend 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.s symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians.
