Atmospheric Optics, halos, sundogs, arcs, Taken by Jeremy Vohwinkle on June 25, 2026 @ North Cascades, Washington, USA

“THE SKY LOOKED ALMOST ALIEN”: Jeremy Vohwinkle was hiking through the North Cascade National Park in Washington on June 25th when something happened overhead. “The sky looked almost alien with the most intense halos and arcs around the sun I’ve seen before,” he says.
Sky watchers saw the same eye-in-the-sky all the way from southern Washington to mid-British Columbia. It’s called a “circumscribed halo.”
This is a type of sun halo caused by ice crystals shaped like tiny six-sided pencils. These hexagonal column crystals filled the atmosphere when a Pacific cold front moved inland ahead of an approaching storm. The width of the weather system accounts for the widespread sightings.

A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: New sunspot (AR4482) is turning toward Earth. Just a few days ago it produced an X1.3-class solar flare, and appears capable of doing so again. NOAA analysts estimate a 55% chance of M-class flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on July 7th.
UPDATED: M4.0-class Solar Flare Alert
Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a M4.0 class solar flare at 07-Jul-2026 at 14:19:00 UTC.
(We can expect an update and the trajectory of the of the CME’s path when NASA offers their forecast model.)

10 Transformer/CIMI, Cherokee Twins/TAKATO’KA – Day 10 of 13 in the 1 Earth/CABAN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and FREE Tzolk’in Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation. What were once intentions or ideas, hopes or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. What is focused upon with attention and intention becomes real with Ten. Ten is a powerful energy that carries a great responsibility.
Transformer/CIMI: Cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Transformer persons achieve goals and emotional wealth. Transformer people can become highly respected business persons. They have the ability to help others through any and all transitions with tranquility due to their spiritual strength and guidance. Communities often benefit from Transformers discipline and organization skills. They strengthen the life of pregnant women and guide them through the transitions of maternity. Establishing contact with the ancestors activates innate psychic abilities, gifts to be used as tools to assist others. Transformers can have the ability to send evil intentions telepathically, this is their undoing. From these acts they lose power, easily fall into a victim role and begin to manipulate with a vengeance. A good day to tie all loose ends.
A GOOD DAY TO: Tie all loose ends.
Cherokee, Twins/ TAKATO’KA: Twins symbolize the Female Sun and Male Moon, whose union keeps the world going round. Cherokee myth has the Morning Star heralding the Sun, Venus, also being the Evening Star as representing the TWINS. The energy brings major changes all throughout life, riding the tsunamis of earthquake and upheaval, making their own waves wherever they go. They undergo powerful transformations, alternating like a flashing neon sign. The challenge is to master Balance while experiencing Chaos leading to re-birth and abundance through infinity.
