Apr 7, 2016 Recent data suggests large amounts of water ice beneath the surface. No other celestial body is so extensively studied as Mars. The primary goal of robotic wanderers on its surface, as well as “eyes in the sky” from satellite observatories, is to provide data for the…
For the first time ever, an image has been captured of an elusive electrical phenomenon above the Earth. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station imaged a kind of electrical discharge in the upper atmosphere known as a blue jet. In this Space News, we explore why this type of…
Apr 6, 2016 Connecting the dots, for Saturnian reconstruction in the New World, between color, zenith pole position, and other aspects and features. Blue-hued deities are not restricted to Hinduism or the Eurasian continent. Half a world away, we meet the god Tlaloc among the Aztecs of the New…
Apr 5, 2016 Electric lace. Electric Universe theory postulates that currents of electric charge flow through a galaxy along its spiral arms. A bridge across the galactic disk divides into upward and downward currents that flow back out of the poles and into the arms, again. This circuit is…
Faraday is best known as one of the great experimentalists. Although he corresponded lucidly with James Clerk Maxwell, he was notoriously suspicious of the use of mathematics in physics. But in a couple of brief papers, Faraday took on what could be called ‘metaphysics’. The term, which came from a…
Apr 4, 2016 The origin of the royal or divine connection with purple, blue and gold is not what you thought it was. Preface: There is so much misunderstanding about the origins of many facets of our culture. One of these confusions concerns the origin of the royal and…
In a recent 5-part video compilation, Dr. Franklin Anariba, a specialist in electrochemistry, offered his extensive analysis of several papers from the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P. Among the findings Dr. Anariba discussed was the discovery of electric fields and fast moving electrons close to the comet nucleus, and the…
Apr 1, 2016 Too much trash in the Solar System? According to a recent announcement from the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, there is growing concern among engineers and astrophysicists about the amount of junk that is cluttering-up the Solar System. “We’re all involved,” said senior researcher and lead…
Mar 31, 2016 Are you noisy with quiet times? — Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic Earth is an electrically active body because it has a plasmasphere. As described elsewhere, it is plugged into circuits that are part of a relationship that it has with the Sun and…
In the 20th century, institutionalized science embraced the concept of a Universe dominated by invisible forces and entities. We are told that at the core of every large galaxy is a supermassive black hole, a region which is said to have such an intense gravitational field that nothing can escape,…
