August 3, 2020 The prevailing opinions regarding planetary nebulae involve gases and dust “blowing” through them from “shock waves”. A nebula is often described as the remnant of a supernova explosion, because of intense X-ray radiation, or extreme ultraviolet light. In an Electric Universe, space is filled with plasma, not…
July 31, 2020 A helicopter on Mars. NASA launched the Perseverance rover on July 30, 2020. Its primary mission is to search for signs of microbial life on Mars—the goal of every lander sent to the Red Planet. This time, the lander will include a small helicopter. Perseverance will travel…
Jul 30, 2020 Are new moons hiding in Saturn’s rings? “We must believe then, that as from hence we see Saturn and Jupiter; if we were in either of the Two, we should discover a great many Worlds which we perceive not; and that the Universe extends so in infinitum.”—Cyrano…
Editor’s note: The Picture of the Day is off today. Please enjoy this article from the archives. July 29, 2020 The first pictures of Jupiter’s north pole show “…storm systems and weather activity unlike anything previously seen.” After an August 5, 2011 launch, and a five-year flight, the Juno spacecraft…
July 28, 2020 The first detection of a ring around a moon. The Cassini space probe is no more; it was burned-up in Saturn’s atmosphere on September 17, 2017. Its data set continues to be analyzed, however, since its observations comprised thousands of terabytes. Planetary scientists announced that they discovered…
July 27, 2020 Electric Universe theory contradicts the theory of dark matter. Along with the general idea of invisible, undetectable materials in space that can release vast amounts of radiation, dark matter theory inserts unreasonable dilemmas into an already confused environment. Mainstream astrophysicists believe that dark matter is a necessary…
July 24, 2020 Ganymede is the largest moon. Beginning with Pioneer 10 in 1973, and including the most recent visit by Juno, Jupiter and its moons continue to be the subject of deep space missions. Over the last four decades, eight different spacecraft have flown past the planet and many…
July 23, 2020 Galaxy filaments are also called, Birkeland currents. “Everyday life depends on the structure of the atom. Turn off the electrical charges and everything crumbles to an invisible fine dust, without electrical forces, there would no longer be things in the universe – merely diffuse clouds of electrons, protons,…
July 22, 2020 High temperatures in galaxy clusters are an enigma, because astronomers have only one force in their bag of tricks: gravity. Whenever energetic events are found in deep space, like high temperatures in galaxy clusters, it “must be” caused by a gravity-driven collision in the remote past. Electric…
July 21, 2020 Objects spinning faster than a dentist’s drill? According to a recent press release, another “millisecond pulsar” was discovered by a team from NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center. Pulsars are often referred to as “lighthouses in space”, with beams of radiation focused at specific points. Since conventional astrophysicists are…
