Mar 19, 2014 Sulfur is abundant on Mars. “My hour is almost come, when I to sulphurous and tormenting flames must render up myself.” Hamlet: Act 1 Scene 5 — William Shakespeare According to the Electric Universe theory, diversity exists among the Sun’s planetary family because they were created…
Mar 18, 2014 Radial filaments within galaxies identify them as plasma phenomena. “If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.” — Seneca The irregular galaxy M82—otherwise known as the Cigar Galaxy—forms a pair with M81, Barnard’s Galaxy in the constellation Ursa…
Mar 14, 2014 Protoplanetary disks are said to be accreted around infant stars. A recent press release from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory reports the possibility that collisions between comets and a large planet might be occurring around the star, beta Pictoris. A cloud of carbon monoxide (CO) and…
Mar 13, 2014 Galactic magnetic fields were discovered more than 50 years ago. Astronomers continue to ask basic questions about galaxies: what generates their magnetic fields? What gives those fields their shape and their strength? Researchers using the latest computer simulations think they have found the answers. Cool gas…
Mar 12, 2014 More information provides more support for the Electric Universe theory. The MErcury Surface Space ENvironment GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission has been ongoing since August 2004. The satellite is orbiting Mercury, where it is conducting observations of the torrid planet’s domain. A recent color mosaic of…
Mar 10, 2014 Are stars born in cold clouds of gas and dust? The Herschel Space Observatory entered orbit around LaGrange point L2 in July 2009, so that its sensitive instrumentation would not repeatedly heat up and cool down, as it would have passing through Earth’s shadow. Since L2 is “gravitationally…
Mar 07, 2014 Shockwaves from exploding stars are in the news again. According to a recent press release, the Tycho supernova remnant, SN1572, is affected by a “reverse shockwave” rebounding from the leading edge of its “impact” with interstellar gas and dust. The combination of a pulse traveling outward…
Mar 03, 2014 Mountain-building is a mystery. One of the tenets of Electric Universe theory is that for some reason in the relatively recent past, the Solar System was electrically energized to a level that exceeds today’s experience by many orders of magnitude. Planets and moons were engulfed by…
Feb 28, 2014 Luminous orbs are thought to be earthquake precursors. For more than a century, eye-witness accounts claim that floating spheres of light can be seen in many locations around the world. Called “ball lightning”, “globular electricity”, and “foo fighters” among other names, they are said to be…
Feb 26, 2014 Does gas compression beget the stars? The Pleiades is probably a familiar sight to most people, being visible in the winter skies all over the world. It contains more than 1000 stars, although only 14 are visible to the naked eye. It has most likely been…
