Apr 28, 2016 The Universe is governed by light and not dark. Modern astrophysical theories of stellar and galactic evolution depend on mechanical action. Space scientists ascribe structures in space to the gravitational collapse of cold gas. Conventional viewpoints attribute galaxies, stars, planets, comets and stardust itself to compression. As…
Apr 26, 2016 Dark matter theory is in the news again. “Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.” ― William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 4 Consensus science states that the Big Bang created all matter and energy—including gravity. Every cosmological theory is now…
Apr 22, 2016 Planetary nebulae are electrical in nature. Contemporary opinions about nebulae involve “winds” of gas and dust created by shockwaves from exploding stars “blowing” through them. They are often described as “star forming” because intense X-ray radiation and extreme ultraviolet light suggest that nuclear fusion reactions are…
Apr 21, 2016 Earth and the Sun are joined together. The four Magnetospheric Multiscale Satellites (MMS) were launched March 12, 2015 on a mission to study the magnetic field around Earth, especially what scientists like to call “magnetic reconnection” events. According to the theory, when magnetic field lines cross and…
Apr 19, 2016 Earth should not be used to explain the Solar System. Previous Pictures of the Day discuss dune-like formations in various locales, except they are seen on other celestial bodies, such as Saturn’s planet-sized moon, Titan. Along with the extraterrestrial example, Australia’s Simpson desert contains 1240 parallel, unmoving…
Apr 15, 2016 Boundary layers in the heliosphere. Space is a vacuum, it is said. As written elsewhere, material in space is far more diffuse than any vacuum that can be created on Earth, but matter does exist there. The best vacuums created on Earth reach a 0.1 millimeter…
Apr 14, 2016 Is it going to be a dark future? “Don’t wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects.” — Roger Zelazny Since the early days of cosmological speculations, especially after the introduction of Big Bang theory, three competing ideas about the…
Apr 12, 2016 Electrical activity creates the nova phenomenon. A nova explosion is thought to take place when a smaller white dwarf star in orbit around a larger companion draws matter onto its surface. Gravity compresses the gas and dust until, at a critical threshold the accreted material reaches…
Apr 8, 2016 New Horizons measures solar wind heating far from the Sun. As written previously, the Electric Sun theory sees the Sun as an anode, or or positively charged “electrode.” The cathode, called the heliosphere, is located billions of kilometers from its surface. This is the double layer…
Apr 7, 2016 Recent data suggests large amounts of water ice beneath the surface. No other celestial body is so extensively studied as Mars. The primary goal of robotic wanderers on its surface, as well as “eyes in the sky” from satellite observatories, is to provide data for the…
