SPACEWEATHER: An Interruption of Time

Distorted Atomic-Time Signals

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 11/18/2025

SOLAR STORM DISTORTS ATOMIC-TIME RADIO SIGNALS: To ham radio operators, no sound is more soothing than the metronome broadcast of atomic time signals from WWV. It has rarely changed in more than 100 years. On Nov. 12th, however, it changed.

SPACEWEATHER: A Breakup in the Storm

Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) – Encounter with the Leo Triplet

Golden Comet Crumbles, Sunspots Turn to Farside

Most comets are green, and sometimes blue. Amateur astronomer Dan Bartlett has been tracking a rare Golden Comet,C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 11/17/2025

THE GOLDEN COMET IS FALLING APART: Last week, California astronomer Dan Bartlett pointed his telescope at golden comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) to capture a close encounter with the Leo Triplet of galaxies. He quickly realized something was wrong.

SPACEWEATHER: Another Big Solar Flare on the Farside

Farside Explosion and a New Source of Flares

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 09/03/2024

MAJOR FARSIDE EXPLOSION: Earlier today (0800 UT on Sept. 3rd), something exploded on the farside of the sun. It was a big one. SOHO coronagraphs detected a bright halo CME flying almost directly away from Earth:

SPACEWEATHER: X-Class Flare from Sunspot AR3664

ANOTHER X-FLARE: Old sunspot AR3664 isn’t as big as it used to be, but it is still very active. On May 29th (1437 UT), it produced an X1.4-class solar flare.

SPACEWEATHER: A “Christmas Star” in May, 05/23/2024

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 05/23/2024

A “CHRISTMAS STAR” IN MAY: Venus and Jupiter converged today, forming a spectacular pair only 0.25 degrees apart. No one could see it, though, because the conjunction occurred in broad daylight only a few degrees away from the blinding sun.

SPACEWEATHER: Solar Filament Eruption Creates Canyon of Fire 05/23/2024

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 05/23/2024

THIS FILAMENT IS ABOUT TO BLOW: Update: It just blew. A filament of magnetism more than 400,000 km long lifted off the surface of the sun on May 23rd (0300 UT). It happened just hours after we predicted an eruption was in the offing.

SPACEWEATHER: CME Headed to Venus and Flare at the Sun’s South Pole

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 02/17/2024

CME TO STRIKE VENUS: A CME launched into space by yesterday’s X-flare won’t strike Earth, however, it will hit Venus according to a NASA model. The strike on Venus (Feb. 18th) will probably erode a small amount of Venus’s upper atmosphere. CMEs do not erode Earth’s atmosphere because, unlike Venus, our planet is protected by a global magnetic field.

SPACEWEATHER: Earth’s Ring Current Just Sprang a Leak, 11/07/2023

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 11/07/2023

EARTH’S RING CURRENT JUST SPRANG A LEAK: During this weekend’s strong G3-class geomagnetic storm, low-latitude auroras spread as far south as Texas and Arizona. Upon further review, most of those lights were not auroras at all. Everything red in these photos is an “SAR”:

SPACEWEATHER: Hyperactive Sunspot

Greetings Kin,

Yesterday’s solar emission came from the southern region, so the huge Earth-facing Sunspot has yet to produce any weather. A brand new hyperactive sunspot is coming around the corner.

Yellow=Moderate, Red=Extreme Weather in the South Central USA

Weather on Earth in Coffeyville, KS was beautiful this morning, though we’re climbing to 99F by 5:00PM CT (moderate in my spot, 10 miles north of the line of extreme weather).  It’s hot this afternoon. My prayers go out to those in harms way.

By the Mayan calendar count, we are shedding old skin like the snake, to expand and grow. Extremes are chaos with the potential to grow and transcend old limitations. It’s a 13-day cycle holding the Element of Fire from the Highest Source. The Sun’s energy purifies the Element of Water.

Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
Stay safe and cool. We are weathering the storms. 
Doctors know that stress, anxiety, and frustration increase the incidents of heart attack and stroke by 30%. In the 2nd Season of Human’s calendar, we’re growing in our maturity. The world is imposing this influence below, and the Sun is purifying it from Above. It’s time to take good care of yourself and love yourself through it, just like the Higher One of Unconditional Love. Time was ordered by the Movement, one with The Creation.

SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: JULY 12, 2023

EARTH-DIRECTED CME (UPDATED): A magnetic filament in the sun’s southern hemisphere erupted on July 11th (movie #1) and hurled a CME toward Earth (movie #2). According to a NASA model, most of the CME will sail south of our planet, but not all. The northern flank will likely strike our planet’s magnetic field during the late hours of July 14th possibly causing a G1-class geomagnetic storm. 

A HYPERACTIVE SUNSPOT: New sunspot AR3372 is seething with activity. In the last 24 hours alone it has produced eight M-class solar flares (graph) To the extreme ultraviolet telescopes onboard NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, it looks like the northeastern limb of the sun is on fire:

Eta Aquarid meteor shower 2023 peaking now! See pieces of Halley’s Comet in the night sky

By Robert Lea published 1 day ago

This annual meteor shower is created by debris left by Halley’s comet as it makes its roughly 76-year orbit of the sun.

The annual Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks on Friday (May 5) and Saturday (May 6), offering skywatchers the opportunity to see debris from Halley’s Comet as it enters Earth’s atmosphere at incredible speeds and burns up.

This year the meteor shower began lighting up the night sky over Earth on April 19 and will last until May 28, so even after its peak there will be plenty of opportunity to catch fireballs streaking through the sky.
