A great many elements of the Anglo-American establishment are now clearly warning the American people that the Cheney/Bush Junta is out-of-control and is a clear and present danger to the world. Russia's President Putin is now warning the entire world that the escalation of the military occupation in Iraq is a fatal mistake and that the Cheney/Bush Junta will end up destroying America if it endeavors to expand its demented war plans against Iran. Inside Washington DC, intelligence "flies on the walls" of the corridors of war and peace are telling Seymour Hersh, one of leading journalists of this time whose expertise spans the entire cold war from Vietnam to Iraqnam, that THE WAR PLAN IS ALREADY SET. The 911 Deception, an article by MW Mandeville, appears in the December-January copy of Nexus Magazine. __________ |

CHECK OUT THE World Clock for the latest earth-scale human statistics. COSMIC FACTORS: ITS EARLY! Like everything else this Fall, the impact of the cosmic scene on Earth is arriving early. Solar Activity rose from 0 where it was most of the past seven days to 13 on December 1 and then to 26 on December 2 while the Solar Flux rose gradually from 71 to 73. Currently there is no apparent solar wind turbulence but it is likely to increase about December 5 from another coronal hole in the solar atmosphere which is sending a new solar wind stream roughly towards the Earth and Mars as Earth draws rapidly into alignment with Mars. Sunspot Activity is likely to be more active throughout December from a series of alignments. Several "bumps in the night" are due, such as the one which is currently pelting the Pacific Northwest Coastal Zone of North America with hurricane force wind bursts and enormous quantities of rain and snow. This massive storm front even dropped 2 to 4 inches of rain in the Phoenix area, highly unusual by all historical standards in the PSW in a La Nina Fall and the weather people claim a repeat performance is due in the following week. Did the spike in Sunspot Activity the past few days add to the storm? Could be it added, but probably the main factor was the Hot Pacific Gyre this late fall. It loaded the atmosphere with immense quantities of slow moving marine air which is now crashing like a huge airborne wave across North America. The next window for an increase in Solar Activity is approximately December 15-20, which will be driven by the Six Body Alignments on December 22 during the Winter Solstice. These alignments will occur during the same time as the Earth | Mars nearly biannual sojourn. This alignment will probably produce the peak Solar fireworks for December and considerable storm activity on both Earth and Mars. The Mars | Earth Alignment is likely to bring the greatest rise in Sunspot Activity, sometime about mid-December but because of the long close coupling of these two planets, we most likely are already in the influence they are creating in solar activity.
ATMOSPHERICS: All in all, most likely a very stormy wet, windy, cold, snowy Solstice - Perihelion (Christmas) across vast sections of the Northern Hemisphere in the higher latitudes (primarily Lat. 45+) and major mountainous zones. This December/January is not a good time to travel in the Northern Hemisphere. Stay home or take a train, but not in the Pacific Northwest where the flooding is undermining the train tracks and is likely to continue to do so. For the next 48 hours, NASA predicts a 1% or less probability of major explosive or flare events on the Sun with a 1% to 10% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere in the higher latitudes. A solar wind gust is always possible from the coronal hole aimed at Earth which now can be seen in the Sun's atmosphere. La Nina is declining already and may be gone by the end of January. A dry Fall in the lower Southwest region, likely to remain through a good portion of the winter of 2008. The North Atlantic Oscillation remains strongly entrenched this week off the coast of Ireland, to its east and south. Chaos for Western Europe's winter, similar to last year, is now easy to foresee for at least through to the end of the year. The North Pacific Gyre Hot Spot is largely defocused, neutralizing its influence. Mid Pacific coast zone off California and the Pacific Northwest is about normal. Through to at least early February, a "typical" La Nina winter throughout North America. Dry in the southerly and western zone of North America. Wet and cold in the northern and especially the eastern zone. Huge snowfalls in the mountains , which have already begun. The east coast likely will freeze like last winter. Expect a cooler winter than the weathermen predict. GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS: No new news on the Wobble. As it has for many weeks, the wobble spiral track of the North Spin Axis continues now to track more or less normally. Seismic activity is now below average in frequency with magnitude about normal. Even the normally very active northern edge of the Australian Tectonic Plate has fallen mostly silent. Meanwhile volcanism continues apace with 29 volcanoes now on the active list, up one from last week, but the actual activity at the sites appears to be more sedate than in the prior week. Kilauea continues as usual but Etna fell asleep again after a brief lava fountain eruption and Krakatoa gives the impression of nearing the end of its 2007 eruption. The Alert List is steady at 61 - a worldwide resurgence most likely will not hit its stride until late in December or in January.
SPIRITUAL FLUX - A profound spiritual paradigm shift, a new Zeitgeist, must come, but from day to day its emergence often seems too little, too fragmented, too late...I hope this is just the pessimism of a somewhat drepressed day. The great and good news is that more and more people ARE waking up. It is becoming palpable everywhere. I walk into shops and inevitably the clerk and I end up taking about the despised Junta in Washington DC. The Cabal's puppet fig leave is gone, the people are hip to TPTB. HOLD TO
THE TRUTHS OF YOUR SPIRITUAL REALITY.
THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN REALITIES AT WILL, THINK
UPON THE MAKING OF A GREAT NOISE OVER THE CONTINENT TO END AMERICAN
MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IMAGINE A WALL OF SOUND WHICH
INTRUDES INTO EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE WHICH SAYS ESSENTIALLY ONE THING.
OUT OF IRAQ NOW. LEAVE IN PEACE. NO ATTACKS AGAINST OTHER NATIONS.
THINK UPON THIS. GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX: This is it!!! DING DING DING DING goes the closing bell on the Great Exchange inside Miss American Pie In The Sky. Here before us are the last dying days of the late Empire of Stinky, Stanky, & Bush, Inc. Huge panics in Asia will continue to spook euro circles and NY even more this week.....bye bye Miss American Pie, the levy's bone dry. Cayce gave the formula for predicting the year some 70 years ago and once again is RIGHT ON THE MONEY. As the forces contend between the factions, cliques, and money houses of the international "families", numbers will gyrate, here advancing, there declining, but over all thinning down to much lower levels. The year 2008 will be the year of the Free Fall. See the economy section below for much greater detail and links.
GEOPOLITICAL FLUX:
WAR WATCH
This is great: YouTube - Clan Dyken - No More Silence WAR RISK IS STILL HIGH BUT MAY BE DECLINING. We have come a long way during the past 12 months. CROOKED, CORRUPT ELEMENTS WHICH HAVE SEIZED UNUSUALLY GREAT POWER OVER THE U.S. UNDER THE MORONIC LEADERSHIP OF LITTLE BUSH STILL APPARENTLY INTEND TO "DO" IRAN WITH A RUTHLESSLY CRUEL, BARBARIAN BOMBING CAMPAIGN AGAINST A NATION OF HAPLESS, INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS NO LATER THAN MID-SPRING, 2008. BUT, they are running out of steam and their window of crime opportunity is rapidly closing. Large numbers of people are agitated about the Cheney-Bin-Laden war-mongering and his ludicrous finger-puppeteering with bogus boogiemen. People are talking widely about the absurdity of expansion of warfare, the Cabal is openly in disarray over basic strategy, international financiers are gravely in conflict about the inability of the U.S. to continue on its current course, and the coalition of opposition to the current political class (Demoquacks, Republicons, and the Warcast Media which shills the agendas arranged for them by the Cabal) is growing and crystallizing rapidly into a massive movement. An intense campaign of Orwellian agit-prop by the vast Black Arts Nation (military-industrial complex) is falling flat on its face because huge numbers of Americans are now permanently conditioned to expect that Bush, his government, the den of inequity known as the CIA, and Congress do nothing but pose, posture, and lie. Major military leaders keep appearing to contradict the shmeer of demented thoughts which passes for Bush policy pronouncements. It is very doubtful that another incident of U.S. contrived synthetic terror will convince the two thirds of the U.S. population who now utterly despise the cess-pool of Washington DC that Bush should be followed even so far as the bathroom. Who knows what Republicon pervert may be lurking there? The current historical parallel: the Cabal is rerunning the Fall of 2002, the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Even the timing of their assault on Iran is likely to be somewhat the same, though I suspect that it will be later in the year, perhaps the late Spring as opposed to the early Spring. For additional details, see the "rant": http://www.capitolhillblue.com/ New Yorker Magazine, from Seymour Hersh in "Shifting Targets" (click for article). Hersh pretty well confirmed this past summer that the die was cast. But his and countless other visible warnings and communications may have had the effect of dissolving the ground away from the plotters. They may now be unable to proceed even if Bush remains determined to "do it". So continue to keep in mind at all times during the next eight months: THERE IS STILL A RISK OF FALSE-FLAG TERRORIST OPERATIONS INSTIGATED BY RIGHT-WING THUG ELEMENTS IN THE CIA, MOSSAD, MK5, AND ALLIED MOBS WORKING AS AGENTS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CABAL composed of Anglo-American-Jewish elements through to Spring, possibly October 2008.
A RECENT NEW CHART DEFINES "THE CHANGE IN THE EARTH". Click to see the threefold trend in world quake activity 4+ for 1973-2007. This increase in seismic energy is signaling all the other Changes In The Earth, including Global Warming. Daily average frequency of 4+ quakes has risen from 11 in 1973 to about 35 in 2007. The average rose dramatically during 2005/06 and is currently lower. The daily average for 2007 will probably rise a little by the end of the year and may rise more slowly during the next few years. Statistics are tricky master illusionists so be careful with this following thought: an exponential growth curve can be drawn through earthquake data 4+ to project another DOUBLING of the current frequency by about 2020. CHECK OUT THIS INTERESTING GRAPH OF EARTH CYCLE CORRELATIONS: This graph of earthquake activity in Eurasia is only one among dozens of graphs I am working on which detail how the Earth really works tectonically. It demonstrates how deep you have to dig to get to the basics. Only partially complete, this graph at the moment displays only 2.0-2.99 quakes on Eurasia, from Spain and Norway to most of Siberia and down into India and SE Asia to encompass the entire Mideast and Saharan Africa as well Excluded is Japan and Eastern Siberia. Many zones and some sizes of earthquakes do not show a correlation worth talking about with orbital factors, which keeps the entire topic somewhat confusing. But in this graph of the regular daily small grinders, you can see a very close parallel with the average declination angle of the Moon's orbit (how far it goes in any given year to the north and south of the Equator) up until 2004. Then the level of quake activity in this category falls off (it increases in the larger magnitudes). Look at the BLACK LINE and the BLUE LINE and see how they parallel their trend. Observe how the lowest total for average daily quakes corresponds dead on with the lowest lunar declination angle in 1987. Observe as well that the Seven Year Wobble Cycle is clearly "reflected" in frequency of change in the up and down waveform of average daily quakes, but the "alignment" or "phasing" of the two activities is partially offset, leaving us to "guess" crudely at what is coming next. Observe also that in the small quakes (this chart shows only 2.0 to 2.99 quakes) THERE IS NO TREND. However, for quakes above 4.0, Eurasia shows a very strong trend of increase. This chart I will show you very soon.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: A major collection of graphs, charts, and links to information and databases is nearing collection. It more or less represents my collected "notes" and analysis of Earth Changes (including Global Warming and climate change phenomenon) for completion of a new verification of Edgar Cayce's Earth Change Prophecies and analysis of how the "shifting of the poles" is likely to take place. This has taken enormously more time than I originally anticipated for the revision of the Trilogy (like over an extra year) because of the explosion of research data about the Earth which the Global Warming scare has "induced" through liberal funding. These "notes" would take hundreds of pages to publish, hence very little of it will appear in the final book of the Trilogy. The resulting verification will be many more times powerful and thorough than the work in the first edition of the Trilogy. Based on the new material I can provide a disciplined set of exact criteria and time windows for the lead-in phases, crescendo peak, and down-slope of the Event Horizon of the Fifth Phoenix (we are in it now and we have **perhaps** another 20 years before we hit the other side) . Some of the background material will appear in a follow-on book which is titled "The Nine Trends Which Are Changing The Earth". Because my collection is so powerful in demonstrating a completely new perspective about the Earth and its history, all of it will be made to appear on the web or on CD for subscribers during the following months, to be known as "The Earth Changes Gallery". The Gallery will never be complete in the sense that this will become a growing collection. The existing collection still requires more organization and editing of the explanations and concluding points, perhaps another three weeks of work. At the moment I am completing one of the major "floors" in the Gallery - the "Solar Activity Cycle" and how it does and does not connect with the major trends. Check out these two charts in which everything comes together and the logic of my arguments "turn" with the changes in the "trends".
Correlation of Solar Activity Cycle With XY Plots of the Earth's Wobble 1890-2006. When it loads, click on the image to make your browser enlarge it to the correct giant size. Scroll across it. Notice Sunspot Cycle 19. What happens thereafter to the Earth's Wobble which is distinctly new? Why has nobody put this together yet? This is one of a dozen profound connections I have made in the past few months. Notice the date of Sunspot Cycle 19 MAX. Where else have you seen this date? Ah yes, Edgar Cayce....in 1934 or 36 describing the advent of Major Activities in the Earth Changes --- 1958! Correlation of Solar Activity, World Termperature Trend, and Heat Gain Trend In The World Ocean 1867-2004 This is deliberately small so you stare with a 150 year vision all at once. Ask yourself, what connects with what? What REALLY connects with what? Then connect the critical transition dates with the first chart which has the XY plots in it. Then, if you are familiar with the graphs on world volcanism which I have produced, you will realize that WHILE the XY Plots "separate" in the graph, world volcanism and earthquake activity trend lines begin to accelerate manyfold, the oceans warm, and Global Warming becomes the fourth place topic on the news (after war and corruption and sex).
I have DOZENS of supporting graphs which I have collected from other researchers which prove the reality of these "connections". Many of these will be posted within the next couple of months. You should see what I can do with the Phoenix 4 Event Horizon 12,500 Before Present. The Global Warming paleo researchers are not proving up their favorite theories about CO2 but you should see what they are doing proving up Edgar Cayce's comments about the past.
Go see a chart which demonstrates plainly and simply that neither the Sun nor Greenhouse Gases cause Global Warming: Solar Activity - Irradiance Correlation 1975-2005.

THE WAR PLAN "...in recent months, the former intelligence official told me, a special planning group has been established in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, charged with creating a contingency bombing plan for Iran that can be implemented, upon orders from the President, within twenty-four hours..." "the current contingency plans allow for an attack order this spring..." Seymour Hersh, in the "The New Yorker" Magazine, Posted February 26, 2007 for the March 5, 2007 Issue. Article citation: "The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" MWM: Such a plan is not a contingency plan. It is a war plan. MWM: MOST LIKELY THE COOKY WING OF THE CABAL IS NOW BLOCKED FROM BROADENING THE WAR INTO IRAN. BUSH IS A DESTROYED PRESIDENT WHO NO LONG COMMANDS SUFFICIENT CREDIBILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCT WAR EXPANSION. THE MAIN THREAT OF WAR FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2007 IS A FALSE-FLAG OPERATION CONTRIVED BY THE MOSSAD TO WHICH ISRAEL RESPONDS DIRECTLY WITH A BOMBING ATTACK ON IRAN. |

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar Storms, Sunspots, Ionic Wind, Magnetic Disturbances ALMANAC | BACKGROUND | EARTHMONITOR LINKS | LATEST

[12-3-07 ECB]
NASA reports
no sunspots on the farside. [12-3-07 ECB] Quick Solar Activity Forecast From Planetary Alignments: The Solar Flux was rising as of the day before, usually a good harbinger of another rise in the Sunspot Count to come today. Apparently the clustering of the solar system into a six body grand alignment is already casting its spell over the Sun. Expect more volitility in solar activity during the next 45 days than previously indicated here. The peak of this activity is most likely to come about mid-December. IMPORTANT NOTE WHICH MOST PEOPLE STILL ARE NOT GETTING: The Sun is at minimum levels of activity. Thus the climate patterns this year have nothing to do with solar cycles and are entirely related to global warming phenomenon produced by tectonic causes.
Sunspot Count Chart: In this chart above the black
line is the Solar Flux as measured in orbit near the Earth, the red line is
the Sunspot Number and the blue line is a measure of the strength of the
magnetic field in the Earth’s high atmosphere (called the Planetary A
Index).
Date Flux Spots Area Click here for NOAA Sunspot Table For Past 30 Days
[12-3-07 ECB] Average Solar Counts for 2007: Flux: 83 in January, 77 in February, 74.4 in May, 69.1 in September.. Spots: ISSN - 16.9 in January, 10.6 in February, 4.8 for March, 3.7 in April, 11.7 in May. August continued the decline to 6.2, despite the Venus | Earth alignment and September's was 2.4, about as low as it gets. OCTOBER'S AVERAGE WAS 0.9 and November's was 1.7. Both numbers were well below the NASA predicted numbers of about 7. Have we passed out of Cycle 23 through Solar Min early into Cycle 24? I think so but this probably won't be confirmed until next month.
[11-12-07 ECB] Passage To Solar Cycle 24: We did not make a full 30 days of 0 Sunspots, thus we still do not have a 0 month. Even so, this might be Solar MIN. Astrophysicists will not confirm this, however, for a few more months. Their definition is based on a running mathematical monthly average which obscures somewhat the exact turning point of the cycle. (The MINIMA is calculated as a running 12 month average and so our definition of the event always lags for several months until the numbers work themselves out. Note to astrophysicists: we need a better method of calculation which can spot the passage within 90 days).
Magnetic Disturbances: (As Shown By Fluxgate
Monitor at the
12-3-07 ECB] Fluxgate Monitor shows virtually a glass surface solar sea. Or did somebody turn the bloody thing off? This is not likely to remain so clean for very long. Expect choppy and occasionally fairly stormy during December. (Always keep in mind that even during a Solar Min period, intense X class flares and CME's occasionally occur and produce intense magnetic storms in the atmosphere.)

FOR EXPANDED VIEW http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthchanges/bulletin/2007/sunspots/fluxgate_12-3-07.gif [4-30-07 ECB] Another round of predictions for Solar Cycle 24 is now being tendered through NASA and other sources. Using more traditional statistical methods, dates for the beginning of the next cycle have been pushed back to Spring 2008. We now have predicted dates ranging from NOW through to April/May 2008. [2-12-07 ECB] There are now three major focal points for predictions of the beginning of Cycle 24. One cluster is for March 2007. Another is for Fall 2007, which is probably NASA/NOAA's most prevalent opinion. A third is January 2008. I personally lean toward January 2008, which is the official prediction of the EU's apparently most prominent solar group.
[3-26-07 ECB] Conservative predictions shown in red by Hathaway, NASA/NOAA, 2007, uses an older statistically-based model. Other predictions using Solar Dynamic Models indicate a higher peak for Cycle 24. Cycle 25 "seems" too low in this chart when compared to the past nine Activity Cycles The Phoenix Five Revised Scenario will be based on the following logic: These projected Solar Activity Cycles are of immense importance because of the impact of Cycle 19 on the shifting of the Spin Axis in 1958. Cycle 24 may be as large as Cycle 19 and this may bring enough new shifting and tectonic motion in the Earth's crust to initiate major tectonic ruptures around the Pacific Rim. From now through to the MAX of Cycle 24, increasing break up in the crust may be evident through a variety of increased tectonic activities. During the MAX years of 2011-2014, the ruptures may begin the long predicted destructions in the Western U.S. The final breakup of the crust may occur during the MAX period of Cycle 25, which is not likely to be so small as shown here. In all cases we will be watching the Great Rift for the auguries. Always, the windows of greatest danger will be the combination of the "whammies", New Moon or Full Moon, Perigee, Perihelion, Mercury aligned with another inner planet or even Jupiter, during the peak years of the Solar Cycle. Add as well the Eclipse Nodal Cycle (18 years) to find the extremes in the Lunar Sygygy, the next of which occurs in 2022. It is the splitting of the Great Rift which is the key to the entire Earth Changes phenomenon, including the current waves of Global Warming and acidification of the oceans. The Wobble pumps the Great Rift and the Great Rift spreads the tectonic plates and forces the motions which cause them to buckle and grind against each other... and every once in a very great while the tectonic plates avalanche together en masse to redistribute their mass to achieve a better condition of balance in the spinning vortices of the Earth-Moon-Sun System.
This chart of the last three Solar Cycles is profoundly important for many reasons. First, it demonstrates that scientists have learned in just the last 30 years that gross solar output is almost precisely parallel with the output of Sunspots. In other words, the Sunspot Cycle is actually the Solar Activity Cycle. Secondly the chart demonstrates that Sunspot numbers define the amount of actual irradiance (also called luminescence) which strikes the top of the Earth's atmosphere. This measure in turn is telling us how much "heat" energy is being delivered to the Earth. As we can see, the total energy has been declining in average since 1975. With less primary heat, there is also less "reflected" or "green-housed" heat. To make a long story short, this chart demonstrates that neither the Sun, nor all its cycles, nor all the Greenhouse Gases, nor all the inflated academic claims concerning them, have much to do with the obvious warming of the Earth. Ignorance is a wonderful thing. It frees the mind to seek the right answers. Go seek, find the real cause of Global Warming.

NIGHT SKY FOR December 3, 2007 from Hopiland: Click for full screen sky map
IMAGE PRODUCED BY MICA, software & data from the JPL & U.S. Naval Observatory If you want to learn how to follow the stars at night and get deeper into the cosmic scene of the planetary alignments, how the solar system actually works, and so forth, start using this. It is centered for 5 AM Greenwich Tuesdays (the map is changed for each weekly update) for Arizona Mountain Time (no daylight savings- 10 pm Monday evening) at 2000 meter elevation on approximately Black Mesa, Hopi Land. This projection is produced by U.S. Navy Observatory MICA software and Ephemeris (Ephemeris is maintained on line by JPL). It is more or less the world standard of algorithms for precisely tracking the cosmos and the software is such a snap to use to create powerful results, I cannot resist using it. With this you can stand on the bridge of a vessel at sea and navigate like they used to do (but no longer, its all satellite positioning now, but old habits die not at all in the navies of the world). Hopi Land was selected as the focal point because this provides the same approximate night sky to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California (with a little time delay). Sorry, you folks in the Pacific Northwest will not be able to use this very well, you need your own projection. As a rough and ready make-do, just face the South and look for the relevant items about 10 to 20 degrees lower than indicated in the chart. Like California, expect events in the chart to be one hour earlier than your time.
PLANET WATCH:
MARS IS APPROACHING (actually we are approaching Mars)
image source: Don Peterson through Spaceweather.com [11-26-07] This was just photographed using a naked eye two nights ago. It looks about the size of the Moon. Don't miss it tonight! (Just kidding, it was photographed through a telescope with a camera. Within a couple of weeks it should be the brightest item in the sky but its size will only increase for those whose nearsightedness makes the stars a little blurry). Unfortunately, all those above Lat.45 will have a very difficult time catching a glimpse of it. Wet massive cloudy stormfronts will dominate your skies for many weeks. NASA ADVISORY AND LINKS ON MARS: (text condensed) "An hour or so after the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look east. Weather permitting, you'll see red Mars rising in company with the nearly full Moon. It's a beautifully close pairing of two of the brightest objects in the heavens: sky map. By the time you finish reading this sentence, you'll be 25 miles closer to the planet Mars. Earth and Mars are converging, and right now the distance between the two planets is shrinking at a rate of 22,000 mph--or about 25 miles per sentence. Ultimately, this will lead to a close approach in late December 2007 when Mars will outshine every star in the night sky. Of a similar encounter in the 19th century, astronomer Percival Lowell wrote the following: "[Mars] blazes forth against the dark background of space with a splendor that outshines Sirius and rivals the giant Jupiter himself." Even at closest approach the two planets are separated by a gulf of tens of millions of miles. From such a distance, Mars looks like a star, an intense yet tiny pinprick of light, never a full Moon. To appreciate the situation, think of Earth and Mars as runners on a track, with speedy Earth on the inside lane and slower Mars on the outside. Earth is catching up to Mars from behind. Relative speed: 22,000 mph. In December, Earth overtakes Mars, still moving rapidly but never approaching the Red Planet any nearer than the gap between lanes: about 55 million miles. Mindful that the two planets are converging, NASA chose this time to send its Phoenix Lander to Mars. Launched on Aug. 4, 2007, from Cape Canaveral, Phoenix is slated to land in late May 2008 on a Martian arctic plain where Phoenix's robotic arm will dig in the dirt hunting for, among other things, habitats for microbial life." more images: from Peter Garbett of Sharnbrook, England; from Guenther Strauch of Borken, NRW, Germany; from Friedrich Deters of LaGrange, North Carolina. ALMANAC | BACKGROUND | EARTHMONITOR LINKS | LATEST [12-3-07 ECB] Welcome to Solar Minima and to what in all liklihood is our start this month in Solar Cycle 24. This is the point when one Sunspot Cycle ends and another begins during a month when very little sunspot activity will be recorded. We won't know the official "point" of the transition for many more months yet, perhaps not even until near the end of 2008, but frankly it sure feels like 2007 is the transition year and the now feels like THIS IS THE NOW.
SOLAR SYSTEM FORECAST: [11-19-07 ECB] Sunspot and solar activity should peak generally 8 to 3 days in advance of these alignment dates but keep in mind that some times the solar peak comes in on the day or the day after the alignment. This next six body alignment creates a very complex time line of coupling and refocusing of energy patterns in the solar system. There may be several minor blips produced by this dynamic coupling scattered over two or three weeks.
December 22 , 2007 Six Bodies In
A Straight
Most important for Solar Activity is the six-way alignment in December on the Solstice. This next chart is added because it far outclasses all else during 2007. On about December 18/19, five planets will align in a straight line with the Sun. Earth and Mars will align on the top of the chart, while Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto align on the almost exact opposite side of the Sun. Off to one side, Venus will align with Saturn. On December 22, Earth's Moon will be Perigee at the peak of its North Node and on December 24, the Moon will be Full. Talk about a syzygy window!!! Almost certainly these alignments will induce Solar Activity. These probably will mark the beginning of Solar Cycle 24. Sunspot Activity will begin to rise in brief flurries about December 10-15. I have no idea how large these flurries will get but I would guess they will be larger than anything seen during the past six months.

Giant Plot For Easy Viewing Day By Day
[12-3-07 ECB] We have moved out of the extremes of the Lunar Cycles of Perigee, North Declination, and Full Moon Phase (all of which coincided within a period of approx. 48 hours on November 24/25) and we are headed into the New Moon of December 9/10 while in Apogee (furthest point from the Earth). This is likely to be a middling syzygy window but it will be in the extreme South Declination, suggesting an elevated seismic tendency in the Southern Hemisphere.
[12-3-07 ECB] The following prediction is definitely right so far. We have another several weeks to finish this cosmic window of elevated tectonic activity - not until the end of February can we conclude that averages in seismic activity are likely to decline. STANDING PREDICTION FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR: Beware, however, from about October 11 through to the Perihelion in early January. The cycles are phasing up together, Perigee and Full Moon tightly linked in November, with the New Moon and Extreme Declination tightly linked in early December. Thus, heightened danger will begin to mount in September and continue through to December of this year, with the greatest danger likely during the syzygy windows in October -December.
