Changes on the Sun and the Moon
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/19/2026
A NEW CRATER ON THE MOON: This week, researchers announced the discovery of a new crater on the Moon. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter found it near Mare Crisium — a fresh gouge only two years old. Calculations suggest it was created when a 600-ton comet or asteroid hit the Moon and exploded like a Hiroshima-class bomb.
It begs the question– how did we miss that?
The impact should have produced a flash as bright as Venus, yet no one saw it. LRO looked at the impact site on April 11, 2024–there was nothing. It looked again on May 22, 2024 and saw a 220 meter hole in the ground. Sometime between those two dates a 6.5 × 10¹⁰ kJ explosion occurred.
The answer could be as simple as sunlight. For most (64%) of the 6 weeks between the two LRO snapshots, the sun was shining over the crash site. No flash shows against such intensely sunlit ground. Also, one of the most active lunar impact observatories (ESA’s NELIOTA) was off-line in 2024, so the odds of detection during the lunar night were sharply reduced.
The IAU has named this new crater “McGetchin,” after Thomas McGetchin, an Apollo-era scientist who worked on impact ballistics. Now that amateur astronomers know it exists, some are finding they themselves photographed McGetchin Crater without realizing it. Here are two examples: #1, #2 and a finder chart.
Now is a good time to look. The Moon is a waxing gibbous in the evening sky and the crater stays lit until Sept. 27th. Don’t expect to resolve the crater, it’s quite small, but its fresh ejecta is the brightest thing for miles, so it registers as a high-contrast speck against the dark mare. Submit your images here.

THE SUN IS SPOTLESS–WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Take a close look at today’s picture of the sun. Do you see any spots? Neither do we. The solar disk is blank–completely without sunspots. This is a sign that Solar Cycle 25 is past its peak and beginning its descent toward solar minimum. However, the descent is only beginning. New sunspots are likely before the weekend is over.

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.

Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Sun/AHAU: Day of the ancestors and connection to their guidance. The divine face of the sun – lord, musician, singer, dancer, and marksman. Suns are artistic, heroic athletes, visionaries with wise judgment who lead and defend the people. So much is expected from themselves and by other people that unfulfilled expectations are a certainty. An accumulation of these disappointments may lead Sun to evade responsibilities, not accept corrections and even build resentment and disdain towards others. Suns should simplify their lives to be able to rise and shine with unconditional love once again.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for the Wisdom and continued honored memory of our ancestors.
Cherokee, Flower/GUN’TSI EK: Symbol is the Sun, place of abode of Great Spirit. The Sun creates, nurtures, and is the super communicator, the way station that relays messages and energy from other stars in the galaxy; provides energy for channeling information from the Ancestors; speaking the Living Language of Light, which ignites the consciousness in others. Gold is the color of courage and opportunity of wealth. Creative arts, master craftsman expressing divinity and wisdom through their creations. The face of the flower follows the Sun gathering the fire of creativity, illuminating harmony and balance, resonating peace and continuity within the human spirit. This is the Sign of the Chalice of the Infinite, Caldron of Creation.
