EQUINOX AURORAS: Last night was a great example of the Russell-McPherron Effect at work. There was no geomagnetic storm, yet many observers witnessed auroras anyway. John David McKinnon photographed this bright green curtain over Four Mile Lake, Alberta, Canada:

Aurora Portals at the Equinox

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/22/2026

AURORAS LOVE EQUINOXES: Autumn begins this week, and so does aurora season. The northern autumnal equinox is today, Sept. 22nd. That is the cue for Arctic lights to switch on.

The reason is the Russell-McPherron effect. In 1973, UCLA researchers Christopher Russell and Robert McPherron figured out why geomagnetic activity has seasons. During the days and weeks around equinoxes, Earth’s tilt lines up our planet’s magnetic field with the sun’s, and the two fields connect. This creates pathways and portals in the magnetosphere where solar wind can enter.

SPACEWEATHER: A Solar Report

Only the Sun Today

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/21/2026

THE FIRST SOLAR WIND STREAM OF AUTUMN: Northern autumn begins on Tuesday, Sept. 22nd. The next day, a solar wind stream arrives. The incoming stream is flowing faster than 600 km/s from a canyon-shaped hole in the sun’s atmosphere. Its arrival will set the stage for the first equinox auroras of the new season.

All Things Seen by the Lord of our Creation

The solar hour angle Ω expresses the daily rotation of the earth. As the earth rotates 360° within 24 hours, every hour adds another 15° to the sholar hour angle. When the sun is in its highest point in the sky, the solar hour angle is zero. Angles before noon count negative, after noon positive.
As the earth rotates, the angle between the sun and due south, the solar azimuth angle, α, varies from -90° at sunrise (east) to +90° at sunset (west). Greenhinoenergy.com

Nothing Lost in the Shadows

Matthew 5:18 KJV
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Nothing is Unseen by the Creator when the vision is shared between the Up Above, the Down Below, and the 4 Corners of the Earth.

SPACEWEATHER: Unseen Crater on the Moon, and a “Spotless” Sun

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?

SPACEWEATHER: Unexpected Satellite Explosion

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.

SPACEWEATHER: Solar Flare Alert, plus ELVE Event

M3.0-Class Solar Flare

SOLAR FLARE ALERT: 09/02/2026

Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a M3.0 class solar flare at 02-Sep-2026 at 19:20:00 UTC. More information follows by email. An R1 (minor) radio blackout is possible on the sunlit side of Earth.

SOLAR FLARE ALERT: M7.0-Class Solar Flare

Increasing Frequency and Intensity

SOLAR FLARE ALERT:
Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a M7.0 class solar flare at August 25, 2026, 10:02:00 UTC (5:02:00 AM CDT).

There’s higher potential for Cannibal CME’s when one flare closely follows another with increasing intensity. One overtakes another and the “2 made one” magnify the intensity of a Solar Storm. 

The NOAA Dashboard offers video of previous flares. The latest GOES image shows an expanding Coronal Hole, adding Solar Winds to the Earth-directed CMEs.) UPDATE JUST IN WITH IMAGE AND DETAILS.

SPACEWEATHER: Continued Solar Flares from Sunspot 4513

Ongoing Solar Flares from Sunspot 4513

The Sun has produced 4 Solar Flares in the past 48 hours. Sunspot 4513 has been identified as the source for the first three and is likely the source of the most recent flare. Images and location of the most recent flare is forthcoming. 4513 now resides in geoeffective Earth-facing position, and will continue to be for the next 3 to 4 days.

SOLAR FLARE ALERT: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a M2.0 class solar flare August 25, 2026 at 01:26:00 UTC (August 24, 2026, 8:26:00 PM CDT). An R1 (minor) radio blackout is possible on the sunlit side of Earth.
