Jun 5, 2015 What force creates energetic beams that span distances measured in light-years? What confines them into narrow jets? Explaining the jets of ionized particles and X-rays often seen erupting from various galaxies and quasars ranks as one of the most difficult tasks facing modern astronomers. The prevailing…
Jun 04, 2015 ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the discovery of a “huge” star-forming region obscured by dust in the Spiderweb Galaxy protocluster. Alternatively, it may be a tiny spatter of dusty plasma ejected from a nearby galaxy. The Spiderweb Galaxy is a radio galaxy with a redshift of…
Jun 3, 2015 Most nebulae exhibit the unmistakable characteristics of electrical activity. Previous Thunderbolts Picture of the Day articles argue for an electrical interpretation of astrophysical observations. It is an alternative available for those who want extracurricular exploration and deeper levels. Every science journal describes nebulae like NGC 6537…
Processes thought to occur over millions of years are thought to have created our planet’s most wondrous geological features. However, within the electric universe community, scientists and independent investigators have explored the evidence that high-energy electromagnetic events have dramatically reshaped the Earth, and many other planets. The indelible mark of…
Jun 02, 2015 Some meteors begin to flare in the mesosphere. What causes large meteors to “burn up” or explode in Earth’s atmosphere? Is it friction and other aerodynamic effects? Is it that they are loosely conglomerated, being so frangible that turbulence causes them to breakup? During most meteor showers…
Jun 1, 2015 The Milky Way is more complex than previously thought. Any substance containing charged particles is a plasma: electrons, positive ions, electrically charged dust, neon lights, lightning, planetary magnetospheres, the so-called “solar wind,” stars, and even galaxies are plasma. However, Electric Universe advocates do not consider plasma…
At the forthcoming EU2015 Conference: Paths of Discovery, June 25 – 29, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, Dr. Tom Wilson will explore the psychological behavior revealed at the highest level of organized science. Today, Tom offers a brief introduction and overview of his talk, including a review of some of the most…
May 29, 2015 An X-2 class solar flare recently missed a direct impact with Earth. Heliophysicists classify solar flares according to their brightness in X-ray wavelengths. C-class flares are the smallest on the scale, with X-ray measurements in the 10^-6 watts per square meter range (W/m^2), while X-class flares…
May 28, 2015 The definition of “life” can be ambiguous. The Galileo spacecraft was launched on October 18, 1989 from the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and subsequently entered orbit around Jupiter on December 7, 1995. After eight years in orbit, Galileo was deliberately incinerated by sending into the atmosphere of…
In April of 2015, the NASA Dawn Spacecraft began transmitting new, close-up images of the mysterious dwarf planet Ceres. The images to date have only deepened the mystery surrounding the puzzling bright spots on the planet’s surface. However, in addition to this ongoing puzzle, questions remain about Ceres that planetary…
