Jan 11, 2018 We peer at the universe through keyholes. We sense half a dozen colors, variations of rough and smooth, flavors that are sometimes familiar, a few octaves of pressure oscillations in air. What are we missing? The colors of microwaves and x-rays, the sounds of electric currents,…
Jan 10, 2018 No precipitation of any kind was detected on Titan. The Cassini mission to Saturn is over, but planetary scientists continue to analyze its data set. One of the most studied objects around Saturn is its giant moon, Titan. Scientists believe that liquid methane exists on the surface…
Jan 9, 2018 Stars are not gravitational entities. A recent press release relates that there is something wrong with how conventional theories describe star formation. Star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are not assembled correctly: some stars are too young. As Dr. Bi-Qing For wrote: “Our models…
In this episode, we consider the early origins of the ancient mother goddess image, finding a close connection to a prehistoric gathering of planets well before the “Polar Configuration” to which we’ve devoted much attention in this video series. Most significantly, it is the role of the planet Venus in…
Jan 8, 2018 All celestial bodies exhibit electrical activity, including Earth. NASA launched the four Magnetospheric Multiscale Satellites on March 12, 2015. Their primary mission includes studying the magnetic field around Earth, especially what mainstream astrophysicists call “magnetic reconnection”. The theory states that electromagnetic fields can break, cross and then…
Jan 5, 2018 Shockwaves do not drive stellar evolution and behavior. NASA launched the Kepler mission on March 6, 2009. Its goal was to hunt for planets around nearby stars. Kepler subsequently experienced a failure in its stabilizing mechanism, making it unable to maintain its position accurately enough for planet-hunting, so its systems were repurposed….
In Part 1 of this three-part presentation, the chief science advisor to The Thunderbolts Project, physicist Wal Thornhill, begins our discussion on the nature of stars with an examination of so-called neutron stars, a hypothetical entity, which was invented in 1960’s after the unexpected discovery of pulsing electromagnetic emissions in…
Jan 4, 2018 Giant dune formations are found on Titan. A previous Picture of the Day noted that there is no flowing liquid on Saturn’s moon, Titan, and that the so-called “river valleys” discovered by the Cassini orbiter are probably the remains of electric discharge effects. Electric Universe advocates…
Jan 3, 2018 Mercury is in the crosshairs. In October 2018, a joint mission to Mercury will be launched. The BepiColombo mission is named after Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo (1920-1984) from the University of Padua, Italy. As the mission highlights page indicates, Colombo was the first to understand that Mercury’s…
