AR4778, Taken by Pepe Manteca on June 25, 2026 @ Begues, Spain
Growing Sunspot Complex
Emerging Sunspot Given its Name
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 06/25/2026
A STRANGELY-QUIET GIANT SUNSPOT: Around the world, amateur astronomers are monitoring a giant sunspot emerging over the sun’s southeastern limb. This morning, Pepe Manteca photographed newly-numbered AR4478 from Begues, Spain:
The sunspot group is ~10 times wider than Earth and, thus, easy to observe. You can see it using ordinary eclipse glasses, or, better yet, try casting an image of the sunspot onto a screen or wall. You can use binoculars and a mirror or a telescope and cardboard.
Although this sunspot rotated onto the Earthside of the sun only yesterday, we’ve been aware of it for a week. Seven days ago, Europe’s Solar Orbiter watched the sunspot burst through the surface of the sun’s farside and alerted us that it was coming.
Interestingly, Solar Orbiter’s X-ray detector detected no strong flares from the growing sunspot complex, and it has remained quiet since then–unusual for such a large sunspot. NOAA estimates a 10% chance that AR4788 will break the spell with an X-flare on June 25th.

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
The behemoth Sunspot received its official name as 4478. 4477 was the Sunspot that came before. But, now I’m confused again. Did the warning relate to 4478? Or in a future sunspot 4488? Given the potential for X-Class flares today, I believe the forecast relates to 4478 (not 4488).
11 Jaguar/IX represents the invisible journey of Spirit. We walk in Darkness toward the Light in the East. In the trecena of Seed/KAN our journey begins in the Darkness of the Unknown. Jaguar/IX heightens our senses to feel the Way to the Light when we move in the opposite direction of the gravity of the world that holds us down.
The world is the illusion. The Lord opens our eyes. Spirit moves by Faith in the Truth of the Word. There is strength in invisibility. We can observe the Truth without being seen. We stand in Faith when we wait on the Truth to speak for itself.
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

11 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee Panther/ Saho’ni) – Day 11 of 13 of the 1 Seed/KAN trecena
Aztec Description: Lizard (Seed/KAN) Trecena
The 13 days of this trecena are governed by the meting out of irrational rewards and punishments. These are 13 days of confusion, a time when the noble and ignoble have equal chance to be raised up or thrown down. The warrior must be like the lizard, who is not hurt from a high fall but, instead, immediately climbs back to its perch. These are good days to keep out of sight; bad days to attract attention.
