Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) – Encounter with the Leo Triplet
Golden Comet Crumbles, Sunspots Turn to Farside
Most comets are green, and sometimes blue. Amateur astronomer Dan Bartlett has been tracking a rare Golden Comet,C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)

THE GOLDEN COMET IS FALLING APART: Last week, California astronomer Dan Bartlett pointed his telescope at golden comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) to capture a close encounter with the Leo Triplet of galaxies. He quickly realized something was wrong.
“Upon close inspection, the coma appeared to be somewhat flattened, and the nucleus appeared somewhat elongated,” he noticed.
These were early signs that the comet was breaking apart. On Nov. 12th, Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project in Italy saw the comet’s nucleus splitting into three pieces:
“I managed to capture several fragments of this comet,” says Masi. “This animation shows Nov. 12th vs. 13th, making clear how things evolved.”
Even before it started crumbling, astronomers knew the comet was unusual. It had an almost-unheard-of golden color probably linked to its strange chemistry. All of the carbon compounds, which give comets their usual green and blue colors, are severely depleted in C/2025 K1 (ATLAS). No one knows why.
Now, the golden comet is a triple comet. You can see the fragments drifting apart using a mid-sized backyard telescope. The 10th magnitude comet is located in the morning sky not far below the bowl of the Big Dipper.
WE’RE OUT OF THE STRIKE ZONE: Active sunspot 4274 is no longer facing Earth. Today, it is beginning a 2-week trip around the farside of the sun. During that time, all of its flares and CMEs will miss our planet. Until a new and equally angry sunspot emerges, geoeffective solar activity should remain low.

StarWalk Astronomical News: The Leonids will peak on November 16–17, 2025, producing up to 15 meteors per hour under dark skies. The Leonids was the source of the meteor showers “The Night the Stars Fell” in 1833. Astronomers have identified the event on a 33-year cycle, predicting the next in 2033.
Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
On the eve of an Ascension, we See the Signs of Major Life Change. A “marriage” between the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky created a new identity. Golden Comet is the Unity of One that became 3.
The Effects of a Divine Union is the disintegration of an old life for a new one, defined as “We”. “We” in agreement is Divine Trinity.
12 Jaguar/IX is a higher comprehension of the Truth that our “I Am” is Spirit. Dreams are Truly the beginning and end of every creation.
On 13 Eagle/MEN we ascend with a clear vision of the future. There are higher mountains we can climb when two are united as one. We’re given Peace in the middle of a storm to real-ize God’s Word is True, and it’s not a Dream.
Matthew 5:44 KJV
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.

Galactic Tone 12: Twelve is a gift of great capacity of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.
Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength or character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness. Patience born of strength and skill can turn to pounce of quick decision and action. Both bold and stealthful, Jaguars do not often attack directly and communications from them usually contain some mystery. In the absence of integrity, Jaguars power corrupts becoming a search for wealth and fame.
A GOOD DAY TO: Commune and give thanks to nature.
Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians. Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Panthers have unlimited imaginations, visualizations, and are spellbinding speakers. The Totem Jaguar is the guardian of the portals to other dimensions; shamanic abilities will open; multi-dimensional magic; healer, leader, way shower energy when used for spiritual growth. Abuse would be for using this power for control or negative purposes; must find a powerful balance.

Have you ever wanted to clearly see the stars?
Astronomers love to share their telescope views. If you are headed to the Grand Canyon in June, the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association hosts a Grand Canyon Star Party with between 50-75 telescopes lined up on the South Rim. You don’t have to register, but just get in the line to see through one telescope after another. Academic astronomers take the “amateurs” under their wing in Tucson, AZ. “Playing with the kids” while engaging their favorite past time. The telescopes are HUGE. Each telescope is aimed toward and object adjusted to its highest resolution. Astronomers love telling you all about it. It’s a quiet family party without lights (only red), except for the stars. Some observatories offer weekly program accommodations.
You can rent a virtual telescope and see the stars from home, or on your laptop out under the stars.
“Your TeleScope!” the Virtual Telescope Project brings to you real and very powerful telescopes, readily accessible over the Internet.
They are very advanced, but remain incredibly easy to use. You can access any of our telescopes from the comfort of your home, your institution or anywhere, from your own computer, no matter your operative system.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the stars in motion. It’s like Google Earth of the Cosmos, only Real Time.
