Suspicion's are running wild after
getting news from NASA and ESA stating the only surviving
sun observing satellite is broke; and maybe for good.
The
European Space Agency (ESA) put out a news release stating
the SOHO spacecraft
has experienced "an anomaly on the pointing mechanism
of its high-gain antenna has been recorded". Now just
what they mean by "anomaly" has gone unexplained. This
is a shattering blow to what I had predicted to become
an essential tool in modern weather forecasting.
Many of you will remember I predicted
last year in 2002, we would see on our local and national
television stations, display a newly emerged meteorologist
for the first time in history using 'space weather'
to forecast regional daily weather. Yes, I was convinced
our lower schooled meteorologist would be sent to a
fast-track education center to learn how to read, or
at least interpret, daily 'space weather' reports.
They would in turn use this knowledge to better understand
the Sun-Earth Connection.
I was convinced beyond a doubt,
we would hear a daily report on sunspots, solar flares
and cme's. It would go something like this: "High
folks, I hope you had a good weekend. I just returned
from a three week workshop on how to read the Sun.
It was a great experience and will surely save lives
and help you better plan for future events. Some of
you may have remembered Mitch Battros with Earth Changes
TV making this prediction over a year ago. Thumbs up
Mitch, way to go!" (okay, so you're not likely
to hear the last sentence :-) ). Now on to a very real
scenario.
"Today's
sunspot count is at 164. Sunspot region 395 is very
large and likely to produce M-Class flares. I would
expect at least two CME's to occur within 24 hours
of the first solar flare. Watch for sudden tornado-like
winds to develop. In my new class, I have been told
to use terms like 'wind shears', 'micro-burst', and
'straight line winds'. All of the preceding terms
are basically definitions which really means tornado's
without the funnel. Also watch for continued 'freak
storms' to occur. This is a result of the solar winds
pressing down on Earth's magnetic field. This event
in turn pushes the jet stream down and also causes
ocean currents to shift. I would expect more 'record
breaking' temperatures in the next few days. Now
back to sports with our man Dan the sportsman."
Here come the suspicion's
At this time I will assume all
news releases from NASA and ESA are on the up-and-up.
However, I can certainly understand how people, both
in the scientific community as well as interested observers,
become highly suspicious over the timing of this alleged
malfunction.
In recent weeks, we have observed
the Sun displaying extreme activity. Sunspot counts
in the triple digits, solar flares threatening blackouts,
cme's with double halo's, record breaking weather occurring
on almost a daily basis. All this on what is supposed
to be the 'down side' of cycle 23.
I
am unsure of the cause other then to say it is part of
a natural cycle. Not a eleven
year cycle as Nasa would have us believe, but a "Mega
Cycle" which occurs in the thousands of year range.
For the 'planet-x' community, I will go on record once
again to say, I have seen no evidence whatsoever which
would indicate a planet the size of Earth or even the
size of a simple large asteroid (5 miles diameter)
anywhere in or near our solar system. Those of you
who believe in the zeta cult will just keep on believing.
I am not here to dictate what "your truth" is supposed
to be. I can only speak of "my truth".
Having
said this, I am still the open minded researcher willing
to look at all reasonable
possibilities for our current and future patterns.
At this point I lean heavily on what our ancestors
have told us in ancient text. Regarding solar weather
alone, science can only go back few hundred years at
best. But paleontologist and ancient text historians
can tell us of a much larger picture. In this lies
my belief of what I call "Mega Cycles". As always,
more will be revealed!
More about SOHO
The high-gain antenna is required to transmit the large
amounts of data from SOHO's scientific observations to
Earth. From SOHO's orbit, the antenna has to be pointed
in the proper direction - like a flashlight - for the
data to be received at Earth.
The exact nature of the antenna problem is not yet known, but the experts think
that a malfunction has occurred in its motor or in the gear assembly that steers
the antenna.
SOHO is safe, as the spacecraft has a low-gain antenna,
used to control the spacecraft and monitor both spacecraft
and instrument health and safety, which remains operational.
However, if the high-gain antenna problem persists, there
will be periodic losses in the real-time transmission
of scientific data of about two and a half weeks each
three months. The first blackout is estimated to begin
sometime late in the week of 22 June 2003.
A number of options are currently being investigated
by the SOHO team to fully recover or minimize any real-time
scientific data loss. A joint ESA/NASA press release
will follow shortly.
Just When I Thought 'Yohkoh' Was The Answer
The Yohkoh
satellite was an observatory for studying X-rays and
gamma-rays from the Sun. Yohkoh was launched
from Kagoshima, Japan on August 31, 1991, and was lost
on December 14, 2001. In over ten years of observing
the Sun (much longer than the proposed mission life),
Yohkoh revolutionized our understanding of the solar
activity. Yohkoh is a project of the Institute for Space
and Astronautical Sciences. The spacecraft was built
in Japan and the observing instruments have contributions
from the U.S. and from the U.K. The name Yohkoh is Japanese
for "sunbeam".
Sorry
folks, as you can see Yohkoh was decommissioned a year
and a half ago. The Japanese 'Yohkoh' had been
a great back-up or 'cross-confirmation' tool. Now all
we have is Nasa's word. Hmm, sometimes you have to read
the "white print" to get the meaning. That's right, sometimes
we have to read between the lines.

Body Magnetic" Dr. Buryl Payne graduated Magna
Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Washington.
He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and an M.S, in Physics.
While a graduate student, he designed, developed and
marketed the first commercial biofeedback instruments.
He holds a patent on the type of biofeedback instrument
sold by Radio Shack and Thought Technology. He founded
the company now known as and PsychoPhysics Labs. He was

Thursday June 26th: Greg Little -
Gregory Little is an expert not only on the lost civilizations
of the
Americas, he's a leading Edgar Cayce researcher. Cayce
left behind a vast trove of prophecies obtained in a
sleeping state. Many of these prophecies have proved
to be correct, and many of them center around the rediscovery
of ancient civilizations of great power that have been
totally forgotten. Greg edits the Association for
Research and Enlightenment's newsletter and is going
to take us on a magical journey into our own past--and
our future--using a combination of Edgar Cayce's prophecies
and the latest archaeological discoveries. http://www.mysterious-america.net/
Thought For The Day
"People with a high level of personal mastery
live in a continual learning mode. They never 'arrive.'
Sometimes, language, such as the term 'personal mastery,'
creates a misleading sense of definiteness, of black
and white. But personal mastery is not something
you possess. It is a process. It is a lifelong discipline.
People with a high level of personal mastery are
acutely aware of their ignorance, their incompetence,
their growth areas. Paradoxical? Only for those who
do not see that 'the journey is the is the reward.'"
Peter
Senge, in The Fifth Discipline
