The autumnal, fall, September, or southward equinox is the moment when the Earth's Sun (Surya, Sol) appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward.
Because of differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the fall equinox may occur from September 21st to 24th. It is called the equinox because night (nox) and day are equal (equi) today.
At the equinox, the Sun (as viewed from the equator) rises due east and sets due west. Before the Southward equinox, the Sun rises and sets more northerly; afterwards, it rises and sets more southerly.
The equinox may be taken to mark the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical autumn (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere, while marking the end of astronomical winter and the start of astronomical spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere [1]. More
While talking impossible truths...look, free energy
If autumn begins, summer must end. Not "social summer," that ended weeks ago. This is astronomical summer, or what Sol (Surya, Sol) and Tierra (Bhumi, Gaia, Urth) are up to in relation to one another. According to Eric Dubay, the reason for the changes has nothing to do with the gatekeeper science were fed from the University system. It's all about the Sun and Moon chasing each other in a circle (not an orbit around the Earth) above the Earth that is more a spiral, sometimes tight in, sometimes wide out.
Let's let evidence, not spin, speak.
This is Western Zetetic science, which is based on tangible proof, experimentation, and demonstrable repeatable procedures that our science only gives lip service to nowadays. Of course, nobody cares what's real or what the ancients knew and taught in every major religion. We only care what YouTube stars say in the name of science. The Dharmic religions have one very consistent view about where we are and what is around us, and this does not match with the claims of modern science for the last few centuries. People take sides. The truth be damned. It's all about argument and fake CGI evidence. Everyone is forced to conform and reject the Bible, the Vedas, sacred Buddhist Teachings (the Dharma), Jainism's revelations, what the devas show and tell us. No one is allowed to question the official story we're all fed!
The partial lunar eclipse begins at 9:23 pm (EDT) on August 27 (0123 GMT on Aug. 28). Things get much more interesting at 10:33 pm (EDT) (0233 GMT), when the partial eclipse begins and a dark umbral shadow starts to creep across the lunar surface.
Maximum eclipse occurs at 12:12 am (EDT) (0412 GMT) on Aug. 28, when 96.2% of the moon will be immersed in the umbra.
The partial phase ends at 1:51 am (EDT) (0551 GMT), with the penumbral eclipse concluding at 3:01 am (EDT)... More
What is the real cause of eclipses? Rahu
How dare Eric Dubay do science
Buddhist cosmology, astronomy, and mythology speaks of another celestial body in the region of our sky known as space (50 miles up and higher). This occult body does a better job of explaining eclipses than the Earth's shadow on the Moon, two bodies of the same size and nearby, circling (not orbiting) over the plane of the Earth as we look up. But it's all being covered up with CGI and the Never A Straight Answer U.S. spying agency, NASA. What we "see" with our own eyes is actually manipulated propaganda to conceal the truth rather than reveal the wonders of our cosmos. The body that occludes is called Rahu in the Dharmic religions. The Buddha inherited this from ancient India, but the great sages like Mahavira, Sri Shankara, and the rishis ("seers") agreed. How can anyone take this seriously nowadays at a time of universal lies when speaking truth is a dissident act of rebellion? NASA has much to answer for, as CIA pilot and whistleblower John Lear explained. It isn't that NASA lies about some things; rather everything it says about space is untrue. We are completely deceived.
So listening to persona non grata flatearther Eric Dubay makes sense. He has 200 proofs for what he claims. (The State of the World requires us to post this Rebuttals to Eric Dubay’s “200 Proofs Earth is not a Spinning Ball” – FlatEarth.ws in reactionary fashion). Would listening to both sides be reasonable? No! Ye shall attend only to official claims of a scientifical nature approved by gatekeepers at the University, priests on pulpits, paid mouthpieces on YouTube, and propagandists worldwide. Nothing else is accepted. Shield your ears and avert your gaze lest ye be contaminated by Dubay's rambling. We, however, are very interested in listening to him. He also has the audacity to condemn Israel, historical Israelites, review claims about Hitler, and is therefore banned, censored, condemned out of hand, and cannot possibly have anything to say that anyone should listen to and evaluate about anything at any time in any world, especially this one. Obey. Burn him at the stake like a witch.

Who? EricDubay.com, who appears on Rumble.com and Bitchute.comand elsewhere where freedom of speech still has some purchase, plus all his books still available on Amazon. Another way to believe classical Indian astronomy is to redefine "Rahu" from celestial body to "lunar node," which is reasonable but preposterous, but at least it's defensible and acceptable to the powers that be. One good reason to doubt that the Moon causes solar eclipses is the position of the Moon before and after eclipse dates, usually nowhere near the place it will be at in the sky on the date. Sometimes in history it has even been visible going down or rising far from where it needs to be, but all such talk is verboten and you will be discredited.
The Sky's Gone Out is the third studio album by English gothic rock band Bauhaus, released in 1982 by record label Beggars Banquet. The album's production was markedly more difficult than the band's previous records, featuring conflict between the band members and with their record label. Critical reception was also more muted than for their previous classic works, though the album has been more warmly reevaluated over time and held up as a masterpiece. More
Remember to see the "per-seeds" (pronounced /per-see-ids/) through the dark night of the new (missing) moon, a fireball Perseid meteor shower, as earth passes through the debris field of Comet Swift-Tuttle, and an alignment of six planets: Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There's a total solar eclipse, the first in 27 years for Europe, over Greenland (technically part of Denmark), Iceland, and Spain -- a shadow going in the wrong direction if the Earth were spinning from west (Greenland) to Spain (east). It will be visible to millions on Earth. Will the world end? - YES, but not tomorrow.
Nearly 2 1⁄2 years after space enthusiasts on Earth last saw a total solar eclipse, another is on its way, allowing U.S. viewers to see a partial glimpse of the phenomenon, with other parts of the world like Spain seeing totality.
This year’s eclipse falls on the morning of Aug. 12, 2026, allowing people across most of Europe and in northwestern Africa to see the moon something (possibly Rahu) cover or "eclipse" most of the sun.
For most people, including those in the United States, the moon will not completely block the sun, making this year’s eclipse partial, according to NASA's website.
The lucky people in the USA able to view the partial solar eclipse this year include those from Alaska to North Carolina. People in [the small capital country of] Washington, DC [the ruling district of the larger country's original imperial-colonial name, Columbia], will also be able to see it.
In Alaska, the eclipse will happen in the morning, while those in the northern U.S. will be able to see it between midday and midafternoon, NASA said. People near the center of the eclipse path in Greenland, Russia or the North Atlantic will experience the eclipse for a slightly longer period; most people will see the sun eclipsed for less than two minutes, according to NASA.

Last month's blue moon was really June's? The Gregorian calendar really fails us, making the lunar calendar of 13 months (moonths, since every year has 13 full moons, one each moonth) or even the Chinese lunisolar calendar look very appealing by comparison.
How long is a moonth? It is four weeks. How long is a week? It is seven days. How long is a day? About 24 hours or so. And the surprise is that, agreeing on all of these numbers as most Westerners will, what number __ x 28 (four weeks or a month) will give us 365 days?
Mmm, is it 12? - No, it is not. - Oh, is it 11 then? - No, and you're only getting colder. - You don't mean it's 13, do you, because that's bad luck! We can't have 13 anywhere or bad luck will happen, and I'm already afraid that you brought it up! It's 12, right? It has to be 12 because 12 months equal one year!
The number is 13 because 13 x 28 = 364 + plus 1 turnaround (New Year's) day to reset for the next year. This is astronomy in action, only we've been lied to for so long and taught to fear the evil, wrong, bad "thirteen" with superstitions and stupidity for so long that we do not even question it.
It's like a Roman religion, and we all just do what we're told. But 13 is a holy number with many excellent attributes, not the least of which is that's how many natural full moons and months we have each year. The ancient Vedas and Sumerian texts were onto something, so why did moderns try to take that away from us, detach us from our celestial clock, our connection to the seasons, solstices, sabbaths (a word that literally means "Saturdays," which we have been conned into thinking is synonymous with solar worship on Sundays), and a more reliable calendar?
There is a way to construct it so that holidays do not jump around in a haphazard way necessitating a priestly caste to interpret the signs for us every time we want to commemorate something. The indigenous people knew it, as did the aboriginal, and the wise women (cursed as "witches"), the pagans, and the heathens, the Gnostics and the Buddhists. The Buddha set aside one day a week to observe the uposatha or "fasting" day (because one only eats between dawn and noon and not after) of observing the Eight Precepts.
Of the four weeks in a month, the full moon observance is the most obvious so it seems the most special, as in if you're only going to follow one a month, this would be the one. Anyone can look up and see that it is time to reflect on the Dhamma, invest in our meditation practice or sadhana, and hear the Teachings of the Awakened One.
It occurs to us that this whole "summer" thing is a social construct. It is. What does "summer" mean. There are all those associations and connotations, but everyone knows it's when the sun's out, the clothes are mostly off, school is on break, and there's going to be a vacation, road trip, partying, and just plain old hanging around, maybe making some money.
It's a break from the routine. It's time away from the prison of the school system and the [bleep] warden who thinks s/he runs the place. Think of Project X or American Graffiti. Ah, summer, there's nothing like it. And this is Southern California, so all the more reason.
We say summer begins when school lets out. That was a week or two ago. Like gender assignment, who needs an objective measure? Well, many people do. And so we have the solstice, the astronomical measure that seems so scientific. But every American knows that summer begins on Memorial Day(May 25); that's the social reality overriding whatever others try to say is only objective and nothing else. It's both.
It runs through Labor Day (the unofficial end), a fake American holiday to remove Americans from the worldwide Labor Movement and May Day (May 1st), which idealistic socialists fight for, collectivists dream of, and New Age communists and college Marxists cheer for.
(Tartaria Vault) Feb. 26, 2026: What explains how a number once treated as sacred across dozens of unconnected ancient civilizations — a number embedded in natural lunar cycles, temple architecture, cosmological frameworks, and the very structure of natural time — was systematically removed from calendars, hospitals, airports, hotels, and cultural consciousness, without a single serious public reckoning about what that erasure actually cost us?
The standard explanation — that 13 became unlucky through accumulated folklore and religious association — collapses when we examine what the evidence actually shows: not a gradual cultural drift, but a coordinated, institutionally enforced disappearance.
Everyone used to know about Tartaria.
No law required it. No international standard mandated it. Yet airlines, architects, racing circuits, and hospitals across different countries and languages all arrived at the same conclusion simultaneously, consistently as if following (implicit) instructions they didn't fully understand.
As I investigated the ancient record — from the Mayan Tzolk'in to the Druidic tree calendar to the Osirian mysteries of Egypt to the turtle-shell lunar counts of indigenous North America — a disturbing pattern materialized.
Of course, we had to cover it up. That goes...
These weren't parallel coincidences across unconnected cultures. They were the same underlying logic: 13 lunar cycles per year, 13 as a cosmic threshold, 13 as the number that resists clean division and refuses to be controlled, all embedded in stone and ceremony across continents and millennia. Then, quietly, it was gone because here's what the replacement also did.
The 12-month calendar didn't just reorganize administrative time, it may have severed something older: the synchronization between human beings and natural cycles — body, moon, season, sky — that had structured life across every pre-modern culture was superseded.
It was not banned, not destroyed outright, just reframed allegedly as "superstition," pathologized, given a clinical name. And the generations that remembered another way of counting time died without passing that memory forward.
This investigation asks whether the disappearance of 13 was accidental — or whether it was the point, whether the most effective erasure isn't the one that destroys knowledge entirely, but the one that makes the question itself seem ridiculous. Once one sees the pattern, one can't unsee it.

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object, perhaps just a comet [16][17], discovered by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) station. It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun [5][c]. It will come as close as 1.8 AU (astronomical units, nearly twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth.
Therefore, it poses no threat [18] to Earth unless it is a UFO mothership, vimana, or extraterrestrial technology such as a probe intentionally sent to monitor this sector and region of space. It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov [19], hence the prefix "3i." It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible using binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on Oct. 21, 2025 [f], it could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite [20]. More
Vimānas are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics, which are disdainfully labelled "mythological." The Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana (who took it from Kubera, whereafter Rama returned it) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts, and Buddhist text contain a whole section on vimanas, talking about the karma that led beings to be reborn in or in possession of a vimana (space platform).
ETYMOLOGY: The Sanskrit/Pali word vimāna (विमान) means "immeasurable" (WQ). Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a chariot of the gods [the devas], any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high," and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories [1]. Nowadays, vimāna, vimān, and bimān all mean "aircraft" in Indian languages. More

San Diego residents express excitement for first supermoon of the year
Full moon over Los Angeles, California, downtown skyline (Jesus Curiel/Unsplash)
(CBS 8 San Diego)
Oct. 6, 2025: October's full moon, also called the "Harvest Moon," is happening Monday night with full illumination at 8:47 pm PT. It is the first supermoon for three for 2025. More

Full moon calendar for 2025 with lunar phases
The year’s first supermoon rises over L.A. tonight — looking 30% larger and 14% brighter than usual. This evening, make sure to gaze skyward [in the direction of New York as seen from Los Angeles] to catch the first supermoon of 2025 at its peak brightness over LA.
The first supermoon of 2025, the biggest and brightest of the year, will peak over California at 8:47 pm. tonight, Monday, Oct. 6th, 2025. Make sure to find a great spot to sky watch and catch the stunning Harvest Moon lighting up Los Angeles' skies.
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, October’s full Harvest Moon will be the first of three supermoons in 2025. Rising low on the horizon, it will create a strikingly dramatic view against the Los Angeles skyline.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which occurred this year on Sept. 22nd. Traditionally, this moon rises around the same time for several nights, giving farmers extra light to finish their harvests.
One way to calm and focus the mind is mandalas
This year’s Harvest Moon is also a supermoon because it coincides with the moon’s perigee, or its closest approach to Earth. NASA notes it will appear about 30% larger and 14% brighter than an average full moon.
The next two supermoons of 2025 are the Beaver Moon on Nov. 5th and the Cold Moon on Dec. 4th.
Where to watch the supermoon in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is expected to have clear skies tonight, making it an ideal spot to see the supermoon. It reaches peak brightness at 8:47 pm PST on October 6th, though it will appear full for several days. The Year's First Supermoon Rises Over L.A.
One of the largest Buddhist temples (like Chaung Yen Monastery in upstate NY) in the Western hemisphere is also a good place to see the moon: Hsi Lai Temple
This is the time of mooncakes and the traditional Sabbath Day or uposatha. That means it's the best time to observe the "fasting day," which means not eating before daylight or after noon. This is part of observing the Eight Precepts, an ancient tradition the Buddha praised as something worth continuing.
How do Buddhists observe the uposatha service?
(Buddhism Reflections) Uposatha days hold a special significance on the Buddhist calendar, particularly in the Theravada tradition. These weekly observance days are aligned with the phases of the moon, including the full moon, new moon, and two quarter moons.
During these times, both lay Buddhists and monastics engage in various practices that enhance their spiritual journeys. On the one hand, lay practitioners often take on additional precepts, dedicating themselves to deeper spiritual activities and community involvement.
Monastics, on the other hand, focus on reflection and purification, reciting the Patimokkha ("Path to Moksha"), a summary of the major rules of the Monastic Code of Discipline, which is a vital aspect of their monastic life.
The uposatha service is not just about individual practice; it also fosters a sense of community as laypeople gather at monasteries to support monks and nuns through food preparation and participation in rituals (pujas).
This day is steeped in tradition and serves as a reminder of the commitment to the Dhammaor Teachings of the historical Buddha.
The observance of uposatha varies slightly among different sects and countries, adding a unique flavor to this rich tradition.
Let's delve into the practices and significance of uposatha days in Buddhism and discover how they contribute to spiritual growth and community bonding. #BuddhaTeachings #Buddhism #Mindfulness
The last solar eclipse of 2025 happens on Sunday, Sept. 21st, just one day before the autumnal equinox. This partial solar eclipse will be visible from New Zealand, Antarctica, and the South Pacific.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Sept. 2025 partial solar eclipse put on a magnificent show as the moon swept over the face of our sun, darkening the sky over a swathe of the Pacific Ocean. Check out our wrap article to see the first images from the spectacular orbital ballet, as seen from the City of Dunedin, New Zealand.
Although not a total eclipse, this is a deep partial event, with the moon covering up to 86% of the sun! Southern New Zealand and Antarctic research stations will see the best views, whilst some Pacific islands will also get a show. More: space.com/stargazing/solar-eclipses
