Peace After a Storm

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 04/05/2026

COMET MAPS WAS OBLITERATED (UPDATED): The solar system has one less comet. Yesterday, Comet MAPS (C/2026 A1) flew through the sun’s atmosphere only 160,000 km above the sun’s surface. The comet went in, but only a cloud of debris came out:

 

SOHO coronagraphs captured the death dive, which was invisible from Earth. In the movie, above, there’s a sudden brightening between 0600 UTC and 0800 UTC. That was probably the comet’s nucleus exploding due to thermal stress. The sudden brightening is better seen in this wider view.

While the comet was behind the coronagraph’s occulting disk, the fragmented nucleus was apparently vaporized, leaving only a stream of dusty debris to exit on the other side. SOHO data are still coming in, so we’ll see more of this debris in the hours ahead.

Astronomers had hoped for more. Comet MAPS was discovered last January farther from the sun than any sungrazer in history. It looked like it might be unusually big–perhaps big enough to survive and even become visible in broad daylight. Instead, RIP, Comet MAPS.

THE STORM IS OVER: A geomagnetic storm that began with a CME impact on April 3rd is over. At its peak, the storm registered G3 (Strong) on NOAA storm scales with bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Earth’s magnetic field is now returning to a quiet state and the polar glow is subsiding.

The Guiding Light for Home

8 Reed/BEN is a Holy Day when a prayer for the Sanctuary of Home is exalted in the Zenith Hour of Light. The trecena of Transformer/CIMI is the Sign of a Major Life transition on the scale of life and death. The glyph for CIMI illustrates the face of Death as a reminder that “Something always dies when something new is born.” We die to an old life to be born again.

Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eights carefully weighs all evidence to reach a balance of justice. Eight is the power of organization demonstrated in the statement ‘as above, so below,’ from simplicity to infinity, the energy of eight organizes all levels of creation, some eights are ‘neat freaks.’

Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeavor to bring peace, harmony and order to all o their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a lot of appreciation, may have marriage or business problems because of inflexible vies and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson for Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe. Bless or repair your house.

A GOOD DAY TO: Bless and repair your house.

Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA: REED- Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini.  Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind.  A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
