Another electric universe proof
I'm a new member but have been following this website for nearly a year.
I was impressed again at the predictive nature of this theory.

That was refreshing.

It's amazing that the current in the plasma "stringy things" coming in from the big arc light, is ignored!

Might as well post a few other links that they pointed to in the article above.
It seems they're finally taking the "Moon fountains" and "Moon storms" (mentioned previously) seriously:

The "P" word was used by NASA scientist
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/0 ... -moon.html
offers a report about the effect of the Earth's tail on the Moon at full moon.
The phrase "plasma sheet" is used by a NASA scientist to decribe the Earth's tail.
One small step for a NASA scientist, one giant step for NASA?

Re: Electric Currents Between the Moon and Earth
Am I to read into this that the formation of lunar craters could be an ongoing process and that impact craters might not even exist?
I think this adds weight to my proposal that there are active plasma events on mars, the image from Hebes Chasma for example, which to me shows ongoing plasma excavation which has reached a darker, likely metalic formation. As Mars has a minimal magnetosphere, its surface must be subject to the same charging imbalance, with surface material being sucked up and dropped as the charge dissipates on its way to the other side of the planet.

Re: Electric Currents Between the Moon and Earth
And if I may jump in her to remind people to look at severe terrestrial weather events as a clue to a further
interactivity.
There is plenty of room in the tables assembled for the Hypersensitive Solar System presentation of 2006
and plenty of additional detail accumulated since then, as recent as last weeks activity.

NASA observes 100 explosions on the moon
Hello Everyone!
I just received the following news mail from NASA:
--> looks like electric discharges to me...
Cheers!
I just received the following news mail from NASA:
NASA Science News for May 21, 2008
NASA astronomers have been watching the Moon to see how often meteoroids crash into the lunar surface and they've just video-recorded their 100th explosion. This surprisingly bountiful data-set allows researchers to start drawing conclusions about when, where, and how often the Moon gets hit.

Re: NASA observes 100 explosions on the moon
Cool article.
Thanks!
Not saying it ain't so! Just wondering...
~Michael Gmirkin
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
So, do pebbles and other space junk hitting the moon really cause explosions that "[heat] up rocks and soil on the lunar surface hot enough to glow like molten lava?"A common question, says Cooke, is "how can something explode on the Moon? There's no oxygen up there."
These explosions don't require oxygen or combustion. Meteoroids hit the moon with tremendous kinetic energy, traveling 30,000 mph or faster. "At that speed, even a pebble can blast a crater several feet wide. The impact heats up rocks and soil on the lunar surface hot enough to glow like molten lava - hence the flash."
During meteor showers such as the Quadrantids or Perseids, when the Moon passes through dense streams of cometary debris, the rate of lunar flashes can go as high as one per hour. Impacts subside when the Moon exits the stream, but curiously the rate never goes to zero.
"Even when no meteor shower is active, we still see flashes," says Cooke.
[...]
"That's an important finding," says Suggs. "It means there's no time of year when the Moon is impact-free."
[...]
"The Moon is still flashing," says Suggs. Indeed, during the writing of this story, three more impacts were detected.

Re: NASA observes 100 explosions on the moon
Hmm. Interesting. This link is from the article in the original posting. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006 ... oradic.htm.
Shooting Marbles at 16,000 mph
03.14.2007
March 14, 2007: NASA scientist Bill Cooke is shooting marbles and he's playing "keepsies." The prize won't be another player's marbles, but knowledge that will help keep astronauts safe when America returns to the Moon in the next decade.
Cooke is firing quarter-inch diameter clear shooters – Pyrex glass, to be exact – at soil rather than at other marbles. And he has to use a new one on each round because every 16,000 mph (7 km/s) shot destroys his shooter.

"We are simulating meteoroid impacts with the lunar surface," he explains. Cooke and others in the Space Environments Group at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center have recorded the real thing many times. Their telescopes routinely detect explosions on the Moon when meteoroids slam into the lunar surface.
A typical flash involves "a meteoroid the size of a softball hitting the Moon at 27 km/s and exploding with as much energy as 70 kg of TNT."
"Mind you," says Cooke, "these are estimates based on a flash of light seen 400,000 km away. There's a lot of uncertainty in our calculations of speed, mass and energy. We'd like to firm up these numbers."
That's where the marbles come in....
Cooke is using the Ames Vertical Gun Range at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA, to shoot marbles into simulated lunar soil. The firings allow him to calibrate what he sees on the Moon. His work is funded by NASA's Office of Safety and Mission Assurance.
"We measure the flash so we can figure out how much of the kinetic energy goes into light," he explained. "Once we know this luminous efficiency, as we call it, we can apply it to real meteoroids when they strike the Moon." High-speed cameras and a photometer (light meter) record the results.
The Ames Vertical Gun Range was built in the 1960s to support Project Apollo, America's first human missions to the lunar surface. The Ames gun can fire a variety of shapes and materials, even clusters of particles, at speeds from 0.5 to 7 km/s. The target chamber usually is pumped down to a vacuum, and can be partially refilled to simulate atmospheres on other worlds or comets.

Equally important, the gun's barrel can be tilted to simulate impacts at seven different angles from vertical to horizontal since meteors rarely fly straight into the ground. Black powder propels the marble, and special valves capture the exhaust gases so they don't blow away the impact crater.
Cooke's experiments are being run in two rounds. The first set of 12 shots in October 2006 fired Pyrex glass balls into dust made from pumice, a volcanic rock, at up to 7 km/s. Follow-up experiments will use JSC-1a lunar simulant, one of the "true fakes" developed from terrestrial ingredients to mimic the qualities of moon soil.
Knowing the speed and mass of the projectile will let Cooke to scale the flash and estimate the energies of the softball-size meteoroids that hit the Moon at up to 72 km/s, more than six times the speed of the Ames gun. But luminous efficiency is just part of the question. A lot of the impact energy goes into shattering and melting the projectile -- the main reason for using glass rather than metal -- and then spraying debris everywhere.

"The ejecta kicked out from an impact can travel hundreds of miles," Cooke continued. "We need to know more about that if we are going to live on the lunar surface for months at a time." Because the moon has virtually no atmosphere to slow down flying debris, particles land with the same speed that launched them from the impact site.
So you might dodge a bullet but still get caught by its shrapnel. And the question is, Are you more likely to get cut off at the ankles by debris spattered along the horizon, or hit from above by material on high, ballistic trajectories?
To gauge that danger, Cooke will measure the speed and direction of secondary particles by the sheet-laser technique. Lenses and mirrors spread a laser beam into paper-thin sheets of light so flying particles are briefly illuminated several times. The light traces then tell the size, direction, and speed of debris particles leaving an impact.
The technique requires a lot of image analysis, but it is cleaner and more accurate than the older way of hanging aluminum sheets in the chamber and counting holes.
The answers will help determine the kinds of shielding needed on exploration vehicles protecting humans where every day is for "keepsies."

Nice to know that not all scientists have lost their marbles.

"A typical blast is about as powerful as a few hundred pounds of TNT and can be photographed easily using a backyard telescope."

Re: NASA observes 100 explosions on the moon
So, if we want to send people to the moon, the question is not how to protect them from meteor strikes, but how to keep them from getting zapped...
How would this be done?
btw. I actually noticed these flashes on the moon several years ago... although at that time I wasn't familiar with the EU paradigm, so I also assumed they were meteor strikes. I you think about it though (and in accordance with EU) these flashes look more like the flashes you see when rubbing different types of materials against each other in a dark room... triboelectricity...
