Waiting for MAPS Return from the Farside
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 04/04/2026
DID COMET MAPS JUST DIE? Today, sundiving Comet MAPS (C/2026 A1) is flying through the sun’s atmosphere only 160,000 km above the sun’s surface. SOHO coronagraphs are monitoring the dive–and it might have turned into a Death Dive:
A sudden brightening between 0600 UTC and 0800 UTC might indicate a fragmentation of the nucleus. If so, the comet could emerge from behind the coronagraph’s occulting disk (which blocks the glare of the sun) as a “headless wonder”–all tail and no head.
Stay tuned for updates!
THE STORM IS SUBSIDING: A geomagnetic storm that began with a CME impact on April 3rd is subsiding now. At its peak, the storm registered G3 (Strong) on NOAA storm scales with bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Now, however, there is only a chance of minor G1-class storms for the rest of the weekend.

Sunspot 4409 has a ‘beta-gamma’ magnetic field that harbors energy for strong M-class solar flares. Here is an M7.5-flare Sunspot 4409 produced during the early hours of April 4th. Credit: NASA/SDO
NOTE: 4409 is in geoeffective position. NASA’s forecast is still forthcoming. We might expect a CME to reach Earth within the next 3 Days. All sunspots, except 4411 are in position for a direct blow.

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU, MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.
Road/EB: The bearer of time and conductor of destiny; also known as Human; these persons open the road and guide to the future groups, communities and individuals alike. Likable, obedient, dedicated hard workers and organizers, Road persons are fortunate in business and travel. Many become care takers of the poor, sick, or old people, where they may make personal sacrifices. Road is sometimes referred to as the sign of grass, which is the most bountiful of all life forms, but is also the most humble. Road persons are affectionate and emphatic; they are easily hurt but slow to anger. Holding in of negative emotions and unexpressed resentment can lead to illness, a poisoned opinion of others and a false bravado for this sun sign.
A GOOD DAY TO: Do some community service.
Cherokee, Rattlesnake Tooth/KANU’GA: Symbolized by a rainbow, the delicate display of electromagnetic rays of the SUN. Rattlesnake Tooth is the Natal day sign of Medicine, the Priest, the Healer. Guardian of the Way, Keeper of the Keys of the secret Kingdom.
