Hello John and Doves,More signs in the Heaven? Will the Northern Lights be portends of coming wars? Scientists are saying we've got more coming!re: "Aurora may be visible in U.S. for two yearsBack on May 10 - 12 there was a huge solar "superstorm". This resulted in "U.S.-wide displays of northern lights." Was this a 'sign' of coming war? Coming judgment on America? They are reporting that this huge solar flare changed our ionosphere. Probably for bad.May 10 was the first day of the month of Iyar - and in the middle of the counting of the Omer - the first 50 day count to the Bikkurim first fruitsfeast of Grain/Feast of Weeks/Shavuot. The Earth got rocked by the biggest solar flare in decades. The Northern Lights/aurora was seen as far south as Alabama and Colorado in the U.S. and intense lights were seen across northern Europe and down into southern Spain. (See the beautiful pic from Mallorca, Spain below - blood red.)And scientists are predicting that the aurora (aurora borealis or the northern lights) may be visible over the U.S. for two more years. And space.com is reporting that the best time to see the northern lights is over the next 3 to 4 years.Scientists are reporting that this "incident" on May 10 - 12 has "changed the Earth's atmosphere in unprecedented ways." The ionosphere is still a mystery - and these huge solar hits are changing it.I also wrote a bit about what they know about the ionosphere. And I put in links to sites that predict the auroras and where located.I also added some info on aurora mythology - will the meanings of auroras be more than 'myths'? Are these signs in the heavens? Blood red auroras are believed to be signs for upcoming wars and bloody battlefields. Europe experienced blood red auroras this last May.Earth's Ionosphere:The Earth's ionosphere was changed by that huge solar superstorm in May.The ionosphere is the "upper layer of our atmosphere that is electrically charged by radiation from the sun. It extends 50 to 400 miles overhead where satellites and the International Space Station orbit."The aurora borealis or Northern Lights are caused by "energetic, charged particles hitting our upper atmosphere." The Earth getting hit by a huge solar storm could result in beautiful lights in the heavens across most of the U.S. And we are still in that window of pick activity - peaking in October 2024 (and maybe into early 2025).NASA uses it's GOLD satellite to study changes in the ionosphere. During this May solar storm, researchers saw "the air moved away from the aurora to create vortices that moved air in a spiral larger than a hurricane. Low energy charge particles moved from around the equator toward the aurora, which is important because that could negatively impact GPS, satellites, and even the electrical grid.""During an intense display of the northern lights, changes in the ionosphere can disrupt signals, making GPS signals inaccurate.""As the aurora intensifies, you see more lights, but along with that, there's more energy entering the atmosphere, so it makes the atmosphere near the poles very hot, which start to push air away from the poles and towards the equator.""The temperature and composition of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere change constantly. That's because it grows during the day and shrinks during the night." They studied this occurrence during the April 8 total solar eclipse.A solar flare and a coronal mass ejection from the sun involve an intense burst of radiation that hits the ionosphere"The aurora generally forms an oval around the poles but can expand during intense magnetic storms - extending its southern border way south into the U.S. - like what happened on May 10 - 12."An alignment between the magnetic poles of Earth and the solar wind means that the northern and southern lights can be at their most intense around the equinoxes, making September a critical month for aurora sightings across the globe.""Solar activity is currently at a 23-year high due to the sun being close to its peak in the 11-year solar cycle, which results in varying magnetic activity. That peak is destined to occur either this year or in 2025."Solar Maximum and Auroras:This article is from October 2023: Space.com is reporting that "the next 4 to 5 years will be the best time to see the northern lights this cycle." This aurora season is "ramping up to something quite spectacular in the next few years." "NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center recently issued a revised prediction that suggests solar maximum may occur between January and October 2024. "This is great news for aurora chasers as "The next 4 - 5 years will be the most favorable for auroral sightings."

The ionosphere is still a mystery to scientists. "Astronomers have known for some time that X-shaped crest like formations can appear in the ionosphere's plasma - a sea of charged particles - after solar storms. Volcanic events and extreme weather on Earth can also cause this phenomenon....Thunderstorms and hurricanes can create pressure waves that find their way to the ionosphere....at night, when the sun's radiation isn't as strong, low-density bubbles appear in the ionosphere. These can be C-shaped and reverse C-shaped. NASA's GOLD mission is keeping an eye on this part of the ionosphere over the Western Hemisphere. Besides Xs and bubbles, there are also Cs.This sea of plasma is what allows radio communications to travel long distances around the world. "Earth's magnetic field lines also carry charged particles free-floating in the atmosphere to two dense bands north and south of the equator that are known as crests. It's these crests, Xs, bubbles and changes in density in the ionosphere that "cause interference with communication and GPS signals."This sea of plasma with all the crests, Xs, Cs, bubbles, etc can be distorted by a solar vortex - this will cause communication signals to be completely lost. Navigation signals are used by vehicles, ships, airplanes - in transportation, agriculture, construction and the military.They have discovered tornado-like activity or a vortex in the ionosphere - this could be creating turbulence in the atmosphere....These vortices can last for hours - affecting communication and navigation system problems.Also, these changes in the ionosphere in charged particles could "increase drag on satellites and shorten their life spans.""Electric currents also flow in the ionosphere, and an increases in the electric current during solar storms can damage transmission lines and ground transformers on Earth...There needs to be a space weather forecasting system "that could tell us when we are going to have problems with GPS signals and when satellite orbits need to be adjusted to avoid catastrophic collisions."The reactions in the ionosphere that result in these beautiful colorful displays in the heavens can also wreck havoc on Earth - disrupting radio signals, interfering with navigational systems and they can cause widespread power blackouts. They can affect the electrical grids and pipelines."..GPS, satellite communications, and ground-based communications won't work. That can have major implications for the military. It can also adversely affect many companies in the private sector, such as big agriculture companies that use GPS to guide farm equipment and oil companies, which depend on GPS-guided drills for their offshore drilling platforms."

We maybe be approaching the peak of this solar cycle - October 2024. More huge solar flares could take out communications, radar, and navigation GPS - this would very negatively affect any military operations going on at the time.This is just another 'signs in the heavens' during the time period we are closely watching - September into October - a huge solar flare could result in the northern lights being seen down to part of southern U.S. again and it could result in havoc on Earth.This type of extreme activity would not go well with a war.To get notifications on US GOES flare info:

Even when the solar peak is past, we will be starting the down side of the peak - there is still great potential for powerful solar flares with resulting auroras that may extend down into the lower parts of the U.S. over the next few years. We may still have more beautiful lights in our future. And if the Rapture is soon, these lights will continue after we are gone. Who knows what havoc they may bring....
Aurora Mythology:Of course, now we have an understanding of the northern lights - but ancient people did not. They attached the appearance of the lights to what they saw going on around them - The early French and Italians "believed the lights to be a bad omen heralding the outbreak of anything from war to plague and death.""In Scotland and England, the skies are said to have blazed red just a few weeks prior to the French Revolution and were later considered to have been a sign of the coming strife...."In China, the lights were a "celestial battle ground between good and evil dragons who breathed fire across the firmament."The Cree Indians believed the lights were "spirits of departed friends and relatives trying to communicate with those they had left behind on earth.""The Estonians believed the lights to be magnificent horse drawn carriages carrying heavenly guests to a spectacular celestial wedding."
Mythology of the Northern Lights | The Aurora Zone
In Europe, powerful auroras are usually red in color..."No wonder the French, Italians and Greeks of times past saw them as sure signs of blood to be spilled. There are tales from as late as the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 - 1871 where magnificent red auroras were deemed reflections of battlefields drench in blood.""This is not the only time blood red auroras and times of battle have coincided. There are similar stories dating back to the American Civil War, the French Revolution and the Greater Wrath of Finland. Coincidence?"

Mitsyssa de Silvermoon on X: "No esperaba poder ver nunca en la vida una aurora desde Mallorca. No se veía tan exagerado como en la foto (que he hecho activando el "modo noche"), pero sí se distinguía bien el brillo rojizo hacia el norte. https://t.co/vzQ8GKT37z" / X
Hezbollah - Israel War:Just today, 9.23, it was reported that Hezbollah fired over 240 rockets into Israel. The IDF ordered Lebanese civilians to flee in 80,000 phone calls. Then Israel struck approximately 800 Hezbollah targets. "The exchanges threatened to erupt into a full-blown war." Lebanon is reporting around 500 killed and more than 1,600 injured.
