New scientific reports are once again forcing planetary scientists to rewrite the history of our own moon. A new study into the lunar surface contradicts the notion that cratering on the moon occurs incrementally over vast eons of time. A team of scientists studied several thousands of before and after…
Oct 26, 2016 Think of the scientific method as the methodical application of human cognitive abilities. Everyone uses cognition to some extent; scientists use it methodically. It works through the interplay of three activities: observing or experiencing or paying close attention to some particularly interesting thing or event; thinking…
Oct 25, 2016 Sixty years ago, Winston Harper Bostick found that an amorphous mass of high-velocity plasma has a natural ability to convert a large proportion of its kinetic energy into magnetic energy, contained in an organised toroidal structure. He termed this structure a ‘plasmoid’. Bostick also showed that such…
Oct 24, 2016 There is no emptiness in the plasma Universe. “Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in…
Physicist Eugene Bagashov explores the question of Pluto’s composition and origins and contrasts the predictions of the standard theory versus those of the Electric Universe. In the previous episode, he began his four-part presentation on the latest discoveries from NASA’s New Horizons mission to the dwarf planet Pluto. The mission…
Oct 21, 2016 Pluto’s frigid companion exhibits electrical scarring. All information from New Horizons is now available, its onboard memory is completely downloaded. The spacecraft is currently on its way to the Kuiper Belt and a rendezvous with 2014 MU69, another small body more than a billion kilometers beyond…
Oct 20, 2016 Is the Moon habitable? Lunar colonization is a dream long held by humanity. Cyrano de Bergerac, in his book The Other World wrote: “The angel had told me in my dream that if I wanted to acquire the perfect knowledge I desired, I would have to go…
NASA’s New Horizons mission to the dwarf planet Pluto has provided scientists on Earth with countless puzzles and mysteries. From impossible “sand dunes,” which were never expected on the tiny planet’s frozen surface, to equally unexpected giant mountains, to a surprising absence of so-called impact craters, and selective regional cratering,…
Oct 19, 2016 Electric stars produce electrical effects. According to a recent press release, the Hubble Space Telescope detected hot “blobs of gas” ejected from a dying star. The “plasma balls” erupt about once every 8.5 years and have been doing so for approximately 400 years. The star, V…
Oct 18, 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…
