The boat is anchored at the shoreline as the sun begins to set. It will wait there until we are able to board and sail off towards the new world. The time is growing near, we can feel the pulse of humanity quickening at the thought of freedom at last! It is close, it has been a long time coming! Have we done our homework needed to purchase our boarding passes? We were told we must leave our ego and judgment and hatred at the gate before proceeding through. Have we been successful at discarding these unnecessary emotions that do nothing but hold us back from being who we truly are? These emotions were our learning tools that showed us what life was like when we engaged in this way of thinking. It is hoped that we have come to our senses and can now see the destructive nature of these emotions. We are being asked to find the strength now to abandon these emotions and instead embrace love and gratitude.
~Space Weather Update~ Sun Remains Quiet
QUIET SUN: Except for some minor rumblings on the sun's northeastern limb, solar activity is very low. The sun's X-ray output has nearly flatlined and NOAA forcasters put the odds of a major flare today at less than 10%.
FAST-MOVING SUNSPOT: Today in the blue skies above Scarborough Marsh, Maine, a dark-winged shape flitted across the face of the sun. It was the International Space Station:
"The ISS cut across the sun, transiting the entire solar disk in only 7/10th of a second," says amateur astronomer John Stetson who photographed the passage with split-second timing. "In today's transit the ISS appeared to be 54 arc seconds in angular diameter." In other words, it subtended an angle about the same as the planet Jupiter. Because the ISS is so large, it is possible to see the details of its structure through backyard telescopes. Here's a telescope that works both during the day and at night.
