Strings Attached

Jun 7, 2019 The idea that electricity flows through the Universe is commonly met with resistance in today’s consensus. According to a recent press release, two galaxy clusters are connected by a “…peculiar ridge of radio waves linking those clusters, like a thread strung between galactic beads.” Astrophysicists believe that…

An Electrical Continuum

Jun 6, 2019 There are problems with conventional theories about the Sun. Electric Universe theory does not adopt the prevailing idea that electromagnetic fields are composed of lines that can become trapped or tangled. When astronomers create theories that reify schematic representations, they reveal a failure to understand what electromagnetism…

Its mission is to study the asteroid, 101955 Bennu, collecting a sample and then returning it to Earth. Bennu is among 7000 Near Earth Objects (NEO) that orbit the Sun. Astrophysicists plan to send a manned-mission to a large…

The Electric Web

Jun 3, 2019 There are regular reports in the scientific press about the filamentary structure of the Universe. According to consensus astrophysics, galaxies are embedded in a diffuse cloud of gas and dust known as “baryonic matter”. Baryons are commonly referred to as “normal matter”, or “luminous” matter. However, along…

Electric Winds

May 31, 2019 What drives energetic galactic events? Previous Pictures of the Day discuss X-ray jets from galactic cores. It was determined that they are accelerated by electric fields. According to a recent press release, data from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) identified “strong winds” racing outward from the core of…

Electric Space

May 29, 2019 Space is filled with various plasmas. “Plasma seems to have the kinds of properties one would like for life. It’s somewhat like liquid water–unpredictable and thus able to behave in an enormously complex fashion. It could probably carry as much information as DNA does. It has at…

Son of Jupiter

May 28, 2019 A NASA spacecraft slammed into the surface of Mercury on April 30, 2015. NASA launched the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) experiment from Cape Canaveral on August 3, 2004. After traveling nearly eight billion kilometers, the 485 kilogram spacecraft entered orbit around Mercury on…

Plasma Modes

May 27, 2019 Throughout the visible Universe there are features described as twisted and “stringy”. Previous Picture of the Day articles discuss formations cut in stone or puffed-out in clouds of ionized gas. Two such examples are solar prominences and the so-called volcanic eruptions on Jupiter’s moon, Io. How do…

Martian Morphology

May 24, 2019 Was Mars resurfaced by electric arcs? Evidence for powerful electric arcs discharging to the surface of Mars was discussed in previous Pictures of the Day. That evidence can be seen in sinuous rilles, terraced craters, ripples in canyons, giant mesas with Lichtenberg “whiskers” and steep-sided ravines wending…
