Oct 18, 2019 A nova does not involve nuclear explosions. Novae are thought to occur when white dwarf stars in orbit around larger companions draw matter away from the larger stars onto their surfaces. As theories state, gravity then compresses the material against the white dwarf’s rigid geodetic. The compacted…
Oct 17, 2019 Gas and dust in space are not heated by gravity. Picture of the Day articles note that astronomers persistently identify electromagnetic formations as gravitationally induced phenomena. For example, particles surging out from stars like the Sun are called a “wind”, instead of electric charge flow. Streams of…
Oct 16, 2019 The Universe is not temperature dependent. In astronomical journals and popular press releases, areas of space identified as “huge holes” are said to be completely empty of matter and energy; “colder” than any other region. According to the “redshift-equals-distance” theory, one of the voids extends for more…
A striking example of so-called settled science which was settled prematurely is the question of how the moon got its craters. As we entered the Space Age, the debate among geologists and astronomers only considered two hypotheses — impacts, and volcanism. After Apollo astronauts returned lunar samples to Earth, analysis…
Oct 15, 2019 Where did we come from? Generally, there are two competing views about how the Universe is evolving. In the first instance, the Universe was born in a Big Bang: an intrusion from another reality that provided the impetus for all matter and energy. The components of this…
Oct 14, 2019 Consensus astronomers see only kinetic effects when observing remote galaxies. A previous Picture of the Day reported that there are two gamma ray lobes extending beyond the Milky Way’s core. The formations are about 65,000 light-years in diameter, and are indications that Birkeland currents are creating z-pinches…

In his recent Space News interviews, comparative mythologist Ev Cochrane introduced his extraordinary decades long research into ancient testimony of catastrophic celestial events witnessed on earth. As Cochrane explained, in countless ancient cultures, the identities of planets in myth, including Mars and Venus, cannot be explained in terms of anything…
Oct 11, 2019 Mercury and the Moon reveal similar morphology. On March 18, 2011 the MESSENGER spacecraft entered orbit around the planet Mercury. The last mission to explore Mercury was when Mariner 10 flew near it in 1974. However, because there was no orbital insertion, only about 45% of the…
Oct 10, 2019 Electricity is stronger than gravity. Electricity is really just organized lightning.— George Carlin Cosmic rays are ions from deep space traveling at high velocities. Most cosmic rays are single protons, followed by 5% helium nuclei, with the rest comprising all other elements in the periodic table. The…
