Aurora Outburst Sequence (Single Frame), Taken by Alan Dyer on August 11, 2024 @ Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan
The Beginning of the last Aurora Season
I think I got hit by an Electron Shock AGAIN, just seeing these images from last year. They deserve to be republished again. It was this Same Day last Year, Aug 22, 2024 – only the Mayan Date was 1 Crocodile/IMIX, the Dawn of a New Awakening.
Forms Materializing Out of Thin Air
Every frame of this sequence is striking. This is way better than that Space-X spiral fuel dump. 🙂 We haven’t reached Maximum yet.
Links and 20-image sequence follows with the news.
This is a series of 20 images recording a substorm outburst during the great aurora display on the night of August 11/12, 2024, shot from Grasslands National Park, in southwest Saskatchewan. The images were taken over a span of 13 minutes as part of a time-lapse sequence, with 2-second-long frames taken at a cadence of 3 seconds (i.e. a 1s interval between frames), with every 14th image selected for this set, so at an interval of 42 seconds apart, to show the rapid change in shape and colour. Like a printed page, time runs from left to right across each row, then down to the later row below. So from top left to bottom right. Times are Mountain Standard Time (Saskatchewan does not observe Daylight Saving Time). The substorm began with intense reds sweeping in from the east then engulfing the sky. The field of view is 130° wide and in height extends over 90° up past the zenith where the curtains are converging in a coronal display. The greens show a range of tints indicating more than just oxygen lines glowing, with likely hydrogen-beta proton aurora emission lines as well. And the red and greens mix to produce oranges and yellows. Each frame was a 2-second exposure with the Laowa/Venus Optics 10mm rectilinear lens wide open at f/2.8, on the Nikon Z6III at ISO 6400. To prospective publishers — Individual images can be supplied to facilitate layout in a different format if desired. The original of this matrix of images is ~24,000 x 20,000 pixels. Each frame is 6048 x 4032 pixels, the 24 Mp size of the Nikon Z6III images.

AN EXPLOSION OF AURORAS: At first glance, you might think these images have been Photoshopped. They have not. At the stroke on midnight on Aug. 11/12, Canadian photographer Alan Dyer witnessed an explosion of brightly colored auroras: Spaceweather.com’s Image Gallery Full Size Photo.
“The event began with intense reds sweeping in from the east and engulfing the sky,” says Dyer, who recorded the display from Grasslands National Park in southwest Saskatchewan. “The greens followed, mixing with the reds to produce a bouquet of yellows and oranges.” It was over in less than 15 minutes.
Researchers call this an “auroral substorm.” First recognized in the early 1960s by a young Japanese physicist named Shun-ichi Akasofu, substorms have been studied for more than 50 years, yet to this day they are almost entirely unpredictable.
Substorms are caused by explosions in Earth’s magnetic tail. This movie from NASA shows the process in action:

First Earth’s magnetosphere appears to be crowned and then aurora’s crown the Earth.
The explosion, caused by magnetic reconnection in the overstretched tail, shoots a beam of energetic electrons and protons directly toward Earth. Auroras mark the broad spot where the particles strike Earth’s atmosphere.
“The substorm was at true midnight when we are looking straight down the magnetotail,” says Dyer. At the time, a strong geomagnetic storm was underway, so Earth’s magnetic tail was being stretched–a lot. It was the perfect setup for a blast.
SUNSPOT NUMBERS AT A 20-YEAR HIGH: For the second month in a row, the monthly-average sunspot number is cruising toward a 20-year high. The current value, around 230, would eclipse every month since Sept. 2001, which occured during the peak of old Solar Cycle 23. The current cycle (Solar Cycle 25) was not supposed to be this strong, and it may become even stronger before Solar Max is finished.
Mayan Time…
The auroras were shared between 1 Crocodile/IMIX, the Dawn of a New Awakening, and 2 Wind/IK, the Breath of Life and Breath of Spirit.

It only takes 13 days to see how Faith is always raised to Knowing the Truth of Answered Prayers. You only have to track your thoughts. Record the matters on your mind in a journal to see how our perspective is changed by a Divine Order of Thoughts.

THE DAWN OF A NEW AWAKENING BEGINS AGAIN: Volume 1 of the Field Guide, covers the first 2 Seasons of a New Life, beginning with the trecena of 1 Crocodile/IMIX. The first trecena of the Tzolk’in is a legend for the future that strikes a chord that is sustained to the end. “Tzolk’in Field Guide: Volume 1, Seasons 1 and 2” (Download PDF)
The 13-Day Trecena Guide Page also offers tools for counting the days. More extensive tools are found on the Daykeeper Resource Page. The first exercise that was offered by Jose Jaramillo, the Mayan priest who shared the Mayan wisdom for my beginning, was to create our own Tzolk’in chart, by filling in the blanks for each of the 260-days. It’s surprising what you learn from a sequence of numbers by row, and from the Order of the Day signs. There’s an empty chart offered on the Daykeeper Resource Page. There’s a power of momentum that’s palpable when repeat ways that have been carried out over hundreds of years. Divine Inspiration comes to us while repeat the steps in unity.

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.
Wind/IK: Breath of Spirit, breath of life. Winds embody the power of dissemination and planting of good seeds or ideas. Dreamers and planners with powerful imaginations, Wind persons make great orators and they spread the word of spiritual inspiration as it is carried by the wind. Wind is the power behind the movement of natural cycles such as weather, erosion, and cultural change. As the wind, these persons are extremely changeable and adaptable. They may appear inconsistent or fickle to others. Wind can be destructive to self and others by putting on airs. When Winds strut and boast, expanding on facts and accomplishments, they are building the dark clouds of trouble that may become hurricanes.
A GOOD DAY TO: Send communications of all kinds.
Cherokee, Whirlwind/AGALU’GA: Whirlwind’s symbol is a double spiral helix in rising smoke. Wind brings energy for an Inquiring mind, learning and wisdom. In Cherokee, the constellations are represented by 12 birds (dancers), the 13th bird is the Whirlwind, the lead dancer. This reflects the whirling of life. Wind is the breath of the Universe (matching the Mayan symbol) channel of communication and carries the Sacred Smoke to the Great Spirit (Source- Hunab Ku in Mayan); matches the pulse of the breath of the Cosmos.
