Colorful Clusters

Mar 25, 2019 Remote globular clusters exhibit anomalous light frequencies. “I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and…

Jet Setters

Mar 22, 2019 According to conventional thinking, gravity and acceleration cause stars and galaxies to produce radiation. Central black holes accelerate particles of dust, along with hydrogen gas, and are said to cause “jets” out of galactic nuclei. When a galactic jet encounters regions of increased density, collisions between particles…

Gamma-Ray Glow

Mar 21, 2019 The Milky Way is built from plasma. NASA launched the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope on June 11, 2008. Its primary mission is observing high frequency electromagnetic waves in space, including gamma-rays. Gamma-rays are the most energetic of the three types of radioactivity, with values 10^15 times greater…

Blank Spots on the Map

Mar 20, 2019 Over twenty years ago, astronomers discovered that they think the Universe is expanding. Observations of distant galaxies appear to indicate that the Universe is expanding faster today than it did in the past. Since that information does not fit into conventional Big Bang theories, the existence of…

Shocked Moon

Mar 19, 2019 Electricity sculpted Rhea. Recently, Cassini completed its multi-year mission in orbit around Saturn. During that time, it trained its camera on the majority of Saturn’s moons, including Rhea. Rhea is second in size to Titan, with a mean diameter of 1528 kilometers. One of its more interesting…

Mergers and Spinoffs

Mar 14, 2019 High temperatures in galaxy clusters are an enigma. Astronomers use gravity as their primary explanation for most energetic events, like high temperatures in the galaxy cluster shown above. It “must be” because of collisions among its member galaxies in the remote past, or from the merger of…
