Jul 28, 2015 Electrically active objects dominate the Solar System Small planetoids, called Near Earth Objects (NEO), are a concern for space scientists because it is thought that large rocks might strike our planet with devastating force. It is a commonly held belief that such an object caused the…
Jul 27, 2015 What creates X-ray emissions in nebulae? From gamma rays down through X-rays and extreme ultraviolet, conventional theories rely upon gravity and acceleration as the only way for them to be produced in space. Compression of hydrogen gas and dust is supposed to create enough transfer of…
Today, physicist Wal Thornhill continues his discussion of NASA’s New Horizons mission to the dwarf planet Pluto. The mission has already provided a number of surprises for planetary scientists. The tiny planet’s geological activity, its apparent age, the stunning features on its moons and more all defy many fundamental ideas…
Today, we ask for your financial support to continue and expand our video outreach. With the current level of contributions, we have been able to sustain a level of two videos a week–we would like to do more. The Thunderbolts Project supports independent research into the electrical nature of the universe….
New Horizons Examines Pluto By Andrew Hall LORRI Photos Suggest Powerful Electric Discharges Swept Surface Look at these traces of rilles winding the surface of Pluto. We’ve seen this on Mercury, the moon and Mars. We’ve seen it on the moons of Saturn. Now we see them on Pluto and…
NASA’s New Horizons mission to the dwarf planet Pluto is attracting international attention to planetary science. And like all recent missions to planets, moons, comets and asteroids, surprising discoveries already abound for scientists on Earth. Giant mountains on the Plutonian surface, and enormous, deep chasms on the Moon Charon, a…
Jul 24, 2015 Wispy clouds are seen hundreds of kilometers above Mars. Recently, planetary scientists announced the discovery of giant plumes reaching up to 250 kilometers from the Martian surface. Agustin Sanchez-Lavega of the Universidad del País Vasco in Spain wrote in the journal, Nature: “One idea we’ve discussed…
Jul 23, 2015 Consensus black hole theory called into question again. “The largest X-ray flare ever detected from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy” was recently announced by the Chandra X-ray Telescope observation team. According to the report, the extreme energy calls into…
The subject of this video series by Dave Talbott is the ancient experience of towering celestial forms that are no longer present. From a single snapshot of the configuration, we can work backwards to the first appearance of these bodies out of an undifferentiated cloud or sea of dusty plasma….
