A Cold War Spy Satellite Breakup
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/17/2026
UNEXPECTED SATELLITE EXPLOSION: A Cold War spy satellite just broke apart in Earth orbit, and no one knows why.
The US Space Force detected the breakup on Sept. 13th when USA 32 unexpectedly shed a cloud of debris 775 km above Earth. The number of fragments is still unknown; Space-Track, the Space Force’s public catalog, has not yet released a count.
USA 32 was launched in 1988 on a top-secret mission to monitor Soviet radars from orbit. It was part of a series of satellites named after the actress Farrah Fawcett. This one was Farrah III, shaped, ironically, like a squat cylinder. The “tuna can” form allowed it to rapidly spin and sweep its antennas across the ground below. The NRO declassified the program only this year.
There may be nothing sinister about this event. Old spacecraft carry batteries and leftover propellant. After 38 years of heating and cooling, a pressurized tank or a battery cell on USA 32 may have simply ruptured. This is the leading suspicion, although it is too soon to rule out a meteor strike or ASAT.
Other satellites may be in danger. USA 32 broke up in the most crowded shell of low Earth orbit. Within 50 km of its altitude are more than 400 active satellites, including the weather satellite NOAA-20. Within days, the debris from USA 32 will have spread all around the original orbit.
Analysts are carefully tracking the fragments and measuring their individual trajectories. Soon, they may be able to “run the clock backward” to see how the explosion began.
Stay tuned for updates!

THE SUN IS ON THE VERGE BEING SPOTLESS: If a new sunspot doesn’t emerge soon, the face of the sun will be blank. Today, there is only one dark core on the Earthside of the sun (AR4528), and it is about to rotate off the sun’s western limb. Its disappearance would bring the 4th spotless day of 2026, the most in more than 5 years.

THE TRECENA OF EAGLE/MEN: ASCENDING TO A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE
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.

Tone 1 sets the Intention for each 13-Day cycle. Tone 13 is the Intention Realized at the end. We Ascend on 13 Deer/MANIK, which defines our Divine Purpose. The final 13 Days of the Tzolk’in follow as 1 Star/LAMAT, leading to the Ascension of the Scion on 13 Sun/AHAU… the Answer to the Creator’s prayer as we are United as One.

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.
Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic. Brings about change, often through separation and destruction. Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.
