Moon Mass
May 13, 2020 What formed the density anomalies on the Moon? Modern astrophysicists postulate that the Moon once experienced extreme volcanic activity over a long period of time. Since it is considered “cold and dead” today, those formative events took place early in its history, billions of years ago. It…
Celestial Clouds
May 12, 2020 Dark, opaque structures are common in the Universe. The Interstellar Medium (ISM), through which the Solar System and all other star systems are moving, is mostly hydrogen and helium. Dust particles, a combination of carbon and silicates, account for about 1% of the ISM. Those particles are,…
Six Ways from Sunday
May 11, 2020 Electricity exhibits 120 degree symmetry. Previous Picture of the Day articles report that Saturn’s south pole is too hot—hotter than can be produced by the dim sunlight that it receives. The mechanistic view of Saturn fails to explain the increased temperature, while Electric Universe proponents argue that…
Mars Quakes Jolt Planetary Science | Space News
New scientific reports from scientists with NASA’s Insight mission reveal startling data about the planet Mars – data which challenges some fundamental ideas in planetary science. In late November of 2016, the InSight lander touched down on the red planet’s surface. One of the most surprising discoveries for investigators came…

Life Energy
May 5, 2020 Plasma is the fourth state of matter. “Without electricity, the air would rot.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson By definition, “plasma” means that electrons are stripped from atomic nuclei, so they can move within a material. This happens because electron orbital dynamics are overcome by thermal or other energy…
Stronger Than Strong
May 4, 2020 Electrical activity is a better explanation for energetic celestial phenomena. More than ten years ago, astronomers discovered an energy signature they called a “Fast Radio Burst”, or FRB. What was so unusual about the observation is that it appeared to release more energy than the Sun puts…
