Using Ignorance for a Divine Purpose
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 07/08/2025
‘SPACE LIGHTNING’ PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE ISS: On July 3, 2025, astronaut Nichole Ayers aboard the International Space Station captured a rare and breathtaking image: a Gigantic Jet bursting upward from a thunderstorm in North America. The high-resolution photograph shows a crimson bolt arcing from the cloudtops toward the edge of space.
“Just. Wow,” Ayers posted after the event. “As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this [Gigantic Jet] triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below.”
József Bór, an atmospheric scientist at the Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science in Hungary, was thrilled by the image. “Nichole’s photo sets a new standard for space-borne observations of Gigantic Jets,” he says. “Such a sharply focused and detailed photo of a Gigantic Jet has never been recorded from space.”
Most readers have heard of sprites, and maybe even seen one or two on a stormy summer night. They emerge from the tops of intense thunderstorms like upside-down lightning, reaching their eerie red tendrils toward space.
Gigantic jets like sprites on steroids–visually more impressive and far more rare. While sprites were discovered in 1989 and have since been photographed by the thousands, it was not until 2001-2002 that Gigantic Jets were first recorded from Puerto Rico and Taiwan. No more than a few dozen have ever been photographed with a quality approaching that of Ayers’ image.
Bór is currently running a project called UHU, which alerts astronauts aboard the ISS to thunderstorms that might produce Gigantic Jets and other Transient Luminous Events (TLEs). The goal is to coordinate space-based observations with ground-based instruments to triangulate and study these elusive phenomena. Photographers from around the world are invited to contribute.
Ironically, Ayers wasn’t acting on a UHU alert. She caught this Gigantic Jet by chance. Still, Bór remains hopeful: “A simultaneous observation would allow us to calculate the exact location, altitude, and dimensions of the jet, and examine the position of the initiation point relative to weather radar data. Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu is onboard the ISS now as part of the Ax-4 mission, and will be working with Bór to make that happen.
Ayers’s photo is now one of the best ever taken of a Gigantic Jet—and a promising sign of what coordinated space-Earth campaigns could uncover next.

AN IMPACT FLASH ON SATURN? Something might have hit Saturn over the weekend. A potential impact flash was observed on July 5th between 09:00 and 09:15 UT. If any readers were observing Saturn around that time, please check your images. If it is confirmed, it would be the first ever impact flash detected on Saturn.
IMAGE: Marc Delcroix reports on a potential impact flash observed in Saturn by Mario Rana. ALERT: There is a tiny chance that a very short impact flash occurred on Saturn on July 5, 2025, between 9:00 and 9:15 UT. It is very important we could get other videos of Saturn taken during that time.
The Daily Sun:
All sunspots remain stable and there are no equatorial coronal holes on the Earthside of the sun.
Mayan Calendar Time
9 Crocodile/IMIX is a Day of wild ideas coming out of the blue and an Intention to see the big picture. Portal 7:7 and 9:9 are both symbols of completion. A creation is “finished.” It’s a Day to apply the Wisdom that there is something more to know from a 1st Light of Inspiration. It’s wise to take the Time to gather more information before we confirm the Truth.
Saturn is a symbol of the Authority of God’s Law. This is the second time Saturn has captured our attention. The first time was the shadow of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. That wasn’t a “Transient Luminous Event” (TLE), but maybe it was a Sign and all eyes were on Saturn to see “the first ever impact flash detected on Saturn.”
Earth weather is impacted by cosmic events that occur lightyears away. The heavenly vault is not as far away and disconnected as it appears to be.

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.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle.
THE AZTEC CALENDAR: 07/07/2025
Day Cipactli (Crocodile, known as Imix in Maya) is governed by Tonacatecuhtli, Lord of Nurturance, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Cipactli is an auspicious day, signifying advancement and honor. It depicts energy and work, rewards and recognition. A good day for beginnings.
