Nebular Lights

  Mar 01, 2016 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…

A New View

  Feb 26, 2016 Higher resolution images of the Milky Way reveal more complex nebular structures. A recent press release announces the first results obtained from a survey of the Southern sky in sub-millimeter wavelengths. Long wavelength radiation is also known as infrared. Most astronomical investigations focus on the infrared…

Electrical Hierarchy

  Feb 23, 2016 Elves could be found in gas giant atmospheres. The plasmasphere of Saturn is highly energetic. The Cassini orbiter found lightning up to a million times more powerful than anything on Earth. It is not surprising that the discovery was made, since Saturn emits 2.3 times more energy than it receives…

Enceladus is Plugged-In

  Feb 22, 2016 Saturn exhibits a circuit between Enceladus and its electrical environment. The Galileo space probe’s mission to Jupiter identified electrical activity between several moons and Jupiter’s vast magnetosphere. What were called “volcanic” plumes erupt from Io, injecting considerable volumes of ionized material into the gas giant’s plasma…
