Apr 03, 2014 Rather than searching for exotic explanations, this celestial object can best be described using plasma physics. According to astronomers from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the so-called “supernova remnant” Cassiopeia A (or “Cas A”) harbors a strange passenger within the neutron star that is supposed to inhabit its interior,…
Apr 2, 2014 The Rosetta Cometary Probe will soon arrive at its destination. On March 2, 2004, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Rosetta Cometary Probe on a rendezvous mission with 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a short period comet that will enter perihelion in August of 2015. One year after launch,…
Apr 01, 2014 How old are the stars? Why are stars found where we find them? What causes them to form and how do they age? These questions are commonly asked by astronomers and philosophers alike. If the stars are born and die according to certain parameters, then a…
Mar 31, 2014 What is lurking near the center of our galaxy? According to a recent press release, a “magnetized neutron star”, otherwise known as a “magnetar” is spinning at an amazing speed near the Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) region of the Milky Way. Sagittarius A* is said to be…
Mar 28, 2014 Is the strange polygon at Saturn’s north pole a fluid dynamics phenomenon? In November 1980, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, now billions of kilometers away from Earth near the Sun’s heliospheric boundary, flew by Saturn. At that time, it recorded an astonishing image, a hexagonal formation in the…
Mar 27, 2014 Martian dust devils exhibit electrical characteristics. There are also electric whirlwinds on Earth. As long ago as March 2005, Electric Universe advocates wrote about the surprising discovery of dust devils spinning across the Martian deserts. Cameras in space, as well as on the Martian surface returned many images of…
Mar 26, 2014 The Universe is said to have begun with a bang, which then became overblown. This article could almost be completed with one statement: a theory built on questionable assumptions should never be the basis for new theories. In a recent press release, astronomers declared that they…
Mar 25, 2014 The standard model and the Electric Universe model paint fundamentally different pictures of how galaxies are formed and driven. In Part One of this article, the Electric Universe theory’s proposal that magnetic fields are integral to galaxy formation was examined. A galaxy originates through the Bennett pinch…
Mar 24, 2014 A fundamental difference between the standard cosmological and Electric Universe models lies in their views about how the Universe was assembled over time. According to the standard model, some time after the Big Bang gas and dust clouds organized into stars, stellar clusters, then black holes…
Mar 21, 2014 Future manned missions to the Moon are slated to land in the polar regions because large deposits of water are thought to exist there. On January 25, 1994, NASA launched the Deep Space Program Science Experiment satellite, Clementine, with a dual mission objective: map the surface of the Moon…
