Dear Family of Light y amig@s Maya de Luz,
Last night I gave a class and talked about the new energy
on the planet. Have you been feeling Strange, not sleeping
or just Plain Stuff,... What is Stuff-?
S- Strange dreams
or sensations, Seems an increase of pressure, Synchronicities
T- Timeless feelings and like time speeds
or slows, Tension in head or joints U - Un-Expected emotions, wanting to cry,
yell or scream, Unwanted energy leaving you-- F- Forgetfulness, feeling foggy, Figments
of greatness flash in your mind, F - Fantasy becomes reality.
All this is Cosmic Stuff and it will increase. So on this
Full Moon tune in a ride the tide.
Why we are all feeling out of synch...starburst, gamma rays,
magnetic radiation and rays we have never heard of yet are
streaming into you right now and have been since 12-04
50,000 light-years way on 12-27-04 (Earth Time) a Magnetar
exploded, not just any big bang, but one that changed every
living being on earth and many other planets in the process.
Imagine the universe taking a big flash-photo of you and
in the process neutralizing a small section of the universe,
matter purified in 1 second. This is E (eternal) life in
the cosmos and the reality of supernovas and eternal energy
streaming from the center of our Milky Way core, from the
core of your own universe within.
When the rays from the unknown touch your heart all opens
and time speeds up. It is a 5 D wave energy of light pulses
that awakens the sleeping and move Stuff....So drink more
water, be more silent and pay attention 2 your dreams.
These days are never repeated and we can use the energy
to awaken a 3rd eye vortex. When you understand what is
going on, you affect the outcome of the experiment. The
observer changes the observed….
NASA: Cosmic blast among brightest recorded
SPACE.com) -- A huge explosion halfway across the galaxy
packed so much power it briefly altered Earth's upper atmosphere
in December, astronomers said Friday.
No known eruption beyond our solar system has ever appeared
as bright upon arrival.
The event equaled the brightness of the full Moon's reflected
visible light, NASA says. It was not visible to the naked
eye.
The blast originated about 50,000 light-years away and was
detected December 27. A light-year is the distance light
travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).
The commotion was caused by a special variety of neutron
star known as a magnetar. These fast-spinning, compact stellar
corpses -- no larger than a big city -- create intense magnetic
fields that trigger explosions.
The blast was 100 times more powerful than any other similar
eruption witnessed, said David Palmer of Los Alamos National
Laboratory, one of several researchers around the world
who monitored the event with various telescopes.
"Had this happened within 10 light-years of us, it
would have severely damaged our atmosphere and possibly
have triggered a mass extinction," said Bryan Gaensler
of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).
There are no magnetars close enough to worry about, however,
Gaensler and two other astronomers told SPACE.com. But the
strength of the tempest has them marveling over the dying
star's capabilities while also wondering if major species
die-offs in the past might have been triggered by stellar
explosions.
'Once-in-a-lifetime'
The sun is a middle-aged star about 8 light-minutes from
us. It's tantrums, though cosmically pitiful compared to
the magnetar explosion, routinely squish Earth's protective
magnetic field and alter our atmosphere, lighting up the
night sky with colorful lights called aurora.
Solar storms also alter the shape of Earth's ionosphere,
a region of the atmosphere 50 miles (80 kilometers) up where
gas is so thin that electrons can be stripped from atoms
and molecules -- they are ionized -- and roam free for short
periods. Fluctuations in solar radiation cause the ionosphere
to expand and contract.
"The gamma rays hit the ionosphere and created more
ionization, briefly expanding the ionosphere," said
Neil Gehrels, lead scientist for NASA's gamma-ray watching
Swift observatory.
Gehrels said in an email interview that the effect was similar
to a solar-induced disruption but that the effect was "much
smaller than a big solar flare."
Still, scientists were surprised that a magnetar so far
away could alter the ionosphere.
"That it can reach out and tap us on the shoulder like
this, reminds us that we really are linked to the cosmos,"
said Phil Wilkinson of IPS Australia, that country's space
weather service.

have severely damaged our atmosphere and possibly have triggered
a mass extinction. -- Bryan Gaensler of the Harvard-Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event," said Rob
Fender of Southampton University in the UK. "We have
observed an object only 20 kilometers across [12 miles],
on the other side of our galaxy, releasing more energy in
a tenth of a second than the sun emits in 100,000 years."
Some researchers have speculated that one or more known
mass extinctions hundreds of millions of years ago might
have been the result of a similar blast altering Earth's
atmosphere. There is no firm data to support the idea, however.
But astronomers say the sun might have been closer to other
stars in the past.
A similar blast within 10 light-years of Earth "would
destroy the ozone layer," according to a CfA statement,
"causing abrupt climate change and mass extinctions
due to increased radiation."
The all-clear has been sounded, however.
"None of the known sample [of magnetars] are closer
than about 4,000-5,000 light years from us," Gaensler
said. "This is a very safe distance."
Cause a mystery
Researchers don't know exactly why the burst was so incredible.
The star, named SGR 1806-20, spins once on its axis every
7.5 seconds, and it is surrounded by a magnetic field more
powerful than any other object in the universe.
"We may be seeing a massive release of magnetic energy
during a 'starquake' on the surface of the object,"
said Maura McLaughlin of the University of Manchester in
the UK
Another possibility is that the magnetic field more or less
snapped in a process scientists call magnetic reconnection.
Gamma rays are the highest form of radiation on the electromagnetic
spectrum, which includes X-rays, visible light and radio
waves too.
The eruption was also recorded by the National Science Foundation's
Very Large Array of radio telescopes, along with other European
satellites and telescopes in Australia.
Explosive details
A neutron star is the remnant of a star that was once several
times more massive than the sun. When their nuclear fuel
is depleted, they explode as a supernova. The remaining
dense core is slightly more massive than the sun but has
a diameter typically no more than 12 miles (20 kilometers).
Millions of neutron stars fill the Milky Way galaxy. A dozen
or so are ultra-magnetic neutron stars -- magnetars. The
magnetic field around one is about 1,000 trillion gauss,
strong enough to strip information from a credit card at
a distance halfway to the Moon, scientists say.
Of the known magnetars, four are called soft gamma repeaters,
or SGRs, because they flare up randomly and release gamma
rays. The flare on SGR 1806-20 unleashed about 10,000 trillion
trillion trillion watts of energy.
"The next biggest flare ever seen from any soft gamma
repeater was peanuts compared to this incredible December
27 event," said Gaensler of the CfA.
ANOTHER PRESS RELEASE FROM SPACE WEATHER
GREENBELT, Md. - A massive burst of energy exploded from
a far-off neutron star last December, the brightest flash
of light ever detected from beyond the solar system, scientists
said Friday.
The Dec. 27 flare was by far the largest of three such
giant outbursts of gamma rays detected in the last 35 years
from neutron stars, the densely packed and supercharged
remnants of a collapsed star. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime
event," David Palmer, a scientist at the Los Alamos
National Laboratory in New Mexico and lead author of a paper
on the flare. The energy burst, packing more energy than
the sun emits every 150,000 years, was not visible to humans,
and the gamma rays were blocked by the Earth's atmosphere
as they rushed by. Scientists said some operators of low-frequency
transmitters were able to detect it.
NASA (news - web sites)'s new observatory - named Swift
for its speedy pivoting and pointing - is among the instruments
that detected the flare. It was launched last November to
probe the workings of black holes. The satellite, controlled
by scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,
is designed to detect gamma ray outbursts and quickly pivot
to record them. It also recorded the afterglow of the blast.
"Swift, within a mere month of its launch, was able
to participate in an amazing discovery," said Roger
Blandford, a physicist at Stanford University.
Neutron stars are formed when massive stars run out of
fuel and collapse, creating dense, fast-spinning and highly
magnetic solar corpses that are only about 15 miles in diameter.
The December burst lasted a tenth of second and came from
a neutron star about 50,000 light years away from Earth
in the constellation Sagittarius. Called SGR 1806-20, it
is one of only about 12 known magnetars, a neutron star
with a magnetic field that is trillions of times stronger
than that of
Earth.
Scientists believe the magnetic field of the magnetars
can shift like an earthquake, causing it to eject a huge
burst of energy. SGR 1806-20 is know as a "soft gamma
repeater" because the initial flare is followed by
a series of much smaller releases of gamma rays. The December
flare was up to a billion times more powerful than typical
flares from soft gamma repeaters.
The aftermath of the blast is a smoldering oblong ring
that glows for several days after the flare caused by debris
launched into the gas
surrounding the star.
