Canyon on the Sun
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 12/16/2025
A HOLE IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: A canyon-shaped hole in the sun’s atmosphere is facing Earth and spewing a stream of solar wind in our direction. G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Dec. 18th when it arrives.

THE NON-GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION OF 3I/ATLAS: When non-experts hear that “Comet 3I/ATLAS has non-gravitational acceleration,” some think it means the interstellar object must be a spaceship. Not so. All comets have non-gravitational acceleration.
A new paper published in Research Notes of the AAS explains why–and shows how 3I/ATLAS behaves very much like the comets we know from our own Solar System.
“We measured the non-gravitational acceleration of 3I/ATLAS using long-baseline astrometry from NASA’s Psyche spacecraft and ESA’s Mars Trace Gas Orbiter,” explains lead author Marshall Eubanks. “The results are pretty typical of ordinary comets, and certainly not record-breaking.”
Non-gravitational acceleration comes from the gentle push comets experience from their own outgassing. Jets of icy material sublimating from the nucleus recoil like tiny rocket engines, nudging the comet off the path it would follow under gravity alone.
“Until recently, finding non-gravitational accelerations in comets required observations over multiple orbits–which we will never have for interstellar objects,” says Eubanks. “Now, using interplanetary spacecraft, we can measure these small accelerations–just a few hundred millionths of Earth’s gravity–during a single flythrough of the solar system.”
For 3I/ATLAS, the acceleration caused by outgassing is about 5 × 10⁻⁷ m s⁻², comparable to that of many small Solar System comets. Using this value, along with measurements of carbon dioxide production, the team estimated the comet’s mass at about 44 million metric tons and its radius between 260 and 370 meters–again, entirely typical.
The comparison between 3I/ATLAS and the original interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua is striking. In 2017 when 1I/‘Oumuamua was passing through the Solar System, its non-gravitational acceleration (~10⁻⁶ m s⁻²) attracted attention. Why? Because ‘Oumuamua didn’t have any obvious outgassing. This laid the foundation for Avi Loeb’s claims that 1I/’Oumuamua might be a light sail or some other kind of tech.
3I/ATLAS, on the other hand, seems normal. It has obvious cometary outgassing with a non-gravitational acceleration to match. Claiming that it, too, is a spacecraft does not fit the data.
Conclusion: 3I/ATLAS is exotic and wonderful. It is also a comet.

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
2 Night/AKBAL represents the Light Beyond the Veil. The Voice of the Creator speaks to us through Signs, Dreams, and Visions. On AKBAL we know the Father’s Voice from the voice of Darkness that imposes doubts and fears.
Our Ears are opened and our Eyes can see the Father that will always share the Truth of Unconditional Love, and will Restore our Faith in the future. Turn away the lies of the evil one, and focus on the Light. The Father’s Words manifest Truth, Wisdom, and Peace beyond understanding.
Comets, Meteors, and Fireballs are Signs of Spirit that draw our attention to the Light.
Genesis 1:14 KJV
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Job 33: 4-15 NIV
14 For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it.

THE TRECENA OF WIND/IK: THE WEIGHT OF THE CREATOR’S WORD
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.
THE SEASON OF ASCENSION: The Wind/IK trecena is in the 4th Season, found in VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
The Lexicon Concordance is a resource for looking up the meaning of number in the Bible Codes of the Hebrew gematria. Every letter has a numerical value that expresses the Truth written in the Word. The Tzolk’in Calculator of Ian’s creation is a place to calculate your Mayan birthday, and to find the meaning of Time for other major events.

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.
Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void. a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.
Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night. Belief is so strong that the surrounding elements become entrained to their rhythm and all resistance falls away. With respect and honor of intuition combined with knowledge this energy creates the magic of the center in this dimension. AKBAL-Night-Totem-OWL: Guardian of the Night Sun. Energies for the opening of mystic secrets, seeing through the masks of deception, trickery. High ability of discernment. Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth. Magical abilities are possible.
