The Sun Was SUPER Bright for a bit today…

 

i don’t know what was up with the sun or whatever object it is that’s round and white that we call the sun.  around 4pm i walked into the kitchen and noticed how unbelievably bright the sun was.  it was blinding.  my mate walked in and said the same.  i had to put on sunglasses to take pictures – and even at that – i could not look at it with sunglasses on when normally i can – at least for a few moments.  it was quite literally blinding.  it lasted for about 1-2 minutes.  it all appeared there was another light source.  there definitely is in the east most days at sunset.  anyway here’s what i captured….this was one of those “you had to be there” experience…

and to add to the weirdness of today ~ i spotted crocus and daffodil bulbs popping up – on this first day of winter.  2 months early.

‘Volcano tsunami’ hits Indonesia after Krakatoa eruption

At least 62 people have been killed and 584 injured after a tsunami hit the coast on Indonesia’s Sunda Strait, government officials say.

The country’s disaster management agency says hundreds of buildings were damaged by Saturday’s tsunami.

It says the possible cause of the tsunami was undersea landslides after the Krakatoa volcano erupted.

The strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra, connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean.

What is the latest?

The disaster management agency warned that the death toll after the tsunami, that struck at about 21:30 local time (14:30GMT) on Saturday, is likely to rise further.

Deaths have been reported in the Pandeglang, South Lampung and Serang regions.

Among the areas hit was the popular Tanjung Lesung beach resort in west Java. There was no warning of the advancing wave.

Solstice Blessings

 

We had a mostly dry, sunny day today so I took some pictures this afternoon and at the setting sun to share.  The need to go within was very noticeable today.  I thought more than once of the word “hibernation”.  Including a capture of the nighttime moon.  It’s really a beautiful night tonight.

Also of reflection is a ladybug visitor we have in the home.  Call her a roommate at this point.  Each night, an hour or so after sunset, she drops down from somewhere and lands by my computer.  The first night I noticed her on my hand where she was content to remain until I finally gently nudged her off.  Tonight – same experience. She crawled over to one of my gemstones I keep on the table and took a nice long nap.  You will see the photo below included.  She has since moved a bit but still remains near the rock’s presence.  Must have good energy.  [wp-svg-icons icon=”smiley” wrap=”i”]

12/20/18 ~ WHAT is going on with the HELIPLOTS? AND the MIMIC anamoly continues (2 videos in one post).

 

editor victoria’s comment ~ the 7.2 in Russia would not create this signature globally.  not strong enough of a quake.  (unless we are not being told the truth as to the actual measurement of the quake).  so whatever this signal is, is not seismic – in my mind – until/unless i know different.  

Sun pulsing capture ~ Buffalo, NY December 2018

Sunstream was out today in Buffalo pulsing

Posted by Sunshine Houlihan on Thursday, December 13, 2018

Editor Victoria’s Comment ~ We saw this same effect in July 2017 only after the moments of pulsing the “sun” flashed as though it was going to explode before just as quickly becoming very dim.  Some say it’s codes coming in.  I say sun simulator malfunction…Who really knows?

SOURCED FROM HERE.

Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why Instruments picked up the seismic waves more than 10,000 miles away—but bizarrely, nobody felt them.

 

BY MAYA WEI-HAAS

On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.

The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaiinearly 11,000 miles away.

These waves didn’t just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them.

Only one person noticed the odd signal on the U.S. Geological Survey’s real-time seismogram displays. An earthquake enthusiast who uses the handle @matarikipax saw the curious zigzags and posted images of them to Twitter. That small action kicked off another ripple of sorts, as researchers around the world attempted to suss out the source of the waves. Was it a meteor strike? A submarine volcano eruption? An ancient sea monster rising from the deep?

“I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it,” says Göran Ekström, a seismologist at Columbia University who specializes in unusual earthquakes.
