Cold Heat

  Dec 28, 2017 Black holes are said to heat galactic nuclei while at the same time cooling down their radiant emissions. Over the last century, laboratory investigations established the fact that plasma is electrical in nature. The flow of electricity through plasmas form Birkeland filaments, double layers, and electric…

Lights in Space

  Dec 27, 2017 Nebulae are not what you may think they are. The prevailing opinion about planetary nebulae is that they are created when shockwaves “blow” through them. Those shockwaves are said to be “winds” from exploding stars. In some cases, a nebula might be described as “star forming”,…

Plasmoid Filaments

Dec 22, 2017 Black hole physics can never explain the Universe. Recently, the Picture of the Day addressed cosmic filaments connecting vast galactic structures. The formations could mean that the visible Universe is a braided filament that reaches from the Virgo supercluster to the Fornax supercluster across billions of light…

Cousins

Dec 20, 2017 Earth and Saturn are similar in some ways. Earth exhibits a periodic oscillation in its atmosphere called, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO). The QBO involves winds at high altitude above the equator. Stratospheric winds circle the planet, changing direction about every 14 months. This means that the QBO…
