FARSIDE CME: A coronal mass ejection (CME) blasted away from the farside of the sun on March 21st at 0740 UT. SOHO photographed the cloud expanding at 1550 km/s (3.5 million mph). The source of the CME is probably old sunspot AR1429, still active as it transits the farside.

FIRST AURORAS OF SPRING: It's a well-known scientific fact that equinoxes favor auroras. True to form, March 20th began with the vernal equinox and ended with this outburst of Spring-green over Tromsø, Norway:

"It was an absolutely magic moment in a magic place," says photographer Ole C. Salomonsen. "The temperature was -13 C and I was almost alone: The tracks in the snow are from a fox which was there just before me. The auroras were mostly moderate, but at times they burst into strong lightshows, as shown above. It was a beautiful display." Aurora alerts: text, phone.

Welcome to the Earth Council Embassy Trust (ECET) Communication Team;

• You have just become part of an international peace team united in their desire to bring peace to the planet; peace between humans, and peace between humans and other life-forms.

• We are also united in this blueprint for peace which offers a realistic and achievable plan, as well as offering a pathway to implementation.

• By uniting our voices we become exponentially more powerful, and will succeed in in our mission (refer ECET 2 objectives following).

• When you communicate the ec2012 blueprint; there are a few points which need to be covered so we have continuity of expression, no matter where we are in the world.

• Every time you communicate this blueprint make sure you  cover the 3 main  points of ec2012, and the 2 objectives of ECET. May your path be cherished and protected at all times.

Three main points of ec2012; a blueprint for peace:

1. Following the work of the United Nations Environment Program and Earth Charter, ECET devised an evolution of the UN (refer Regions of Earth Council Map). The earth is divided into 12 geographical areas, and from these regions they each send a man and a woman to Earth Council, a 24 seat council. This design is about creating equity of region and gender.
