Jan 12, 2018 Electric fields in space generate cosmic phenomena. Astronomers discovered an energy signature they called a “Fast Radio Burst”, or FRB, almost ten years ago. The event supposedly released more energy in five milliseconds than the Sun puts out in a month. Distance to the source was said…
Jan 10, 2018 No precipitation of any kind was detected on Titan. The Cassini mission to Saturn is over, but planetary scientists continue to analyze its data set. One of the most studied objects around Saturn is its giant moon, Titan. Scientists believe that liquid methane exists on the surface…
Jan 9, 2018 Stars are not gravitational entities. A recent press release relates that there is something wrong with how conventional theories describe star formation. Star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are not assembled correctly: some stars are too young. As Dr. Bi-Qing For wrote: “Our models…
Jan 8, 2018 All celestial bodies exhibit electrical activity, including Earth. NASA launched the four Magnetospheric Multiscale Satellites on March 12, 2015. Their primary mission includes studying the magnetic field around Earth, especially what mainstream astrophysicists call “magnetic reconnection”. The theory states that electromagnetic fields can break, cross and then…
Jan 5, 2018 Shockwaves do not drive stellar evolution and behavior. NASA launched the Kepler mission on March 6, 2009. Its goal was to hunt for planets around nearby stars. Kepler subsequently experienced a failure in its stabilizing mechanism, making it unable to maintain its position accurately enough for planet-hunting, so its systems were repurposed….
Jan 4, 2018 Giant dune formations are found on Titan. A previous Picture of the Day noted that there is no flowing liquid on Saturn’s moon, Titan, and that the so-called “river valleys” discovered by the Cassini orbiter are probably the remains of electric discharge effects. Electric Universe advocates…
Jan 3, 2018 Mercury is in the crosshairs. In October 2018, a joint mission to Mercury will be launched. The BepiColombo mission is named after Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo (1920-1984) from the University of Padua, Italy. As the mission highlights page indicates, Colombo was the first to understand that Mercury’s…
Dec 29, 2017 Stars are inherently unstable. Heliophysicists believe that there is an electric dynamo inside the Sun. Two forces are conventionally thought to power it. One is the stretching of magnetic fields due to the Sun’s rotation (change in rotation rate), caused by differences in latitude. The other force…
Dec 28, 2017 Black holes are said to heat galactic nuclei while at the same time cooling down their radiant emissions. Over the last century, laboratory investigations established the fact that plasma is electrical in nature. The flow of electricity through plasmas form Birkeland filaments, double layers, and electric…
Dec 27, 2017 Nebulae are not what you may think they are. The prevailing opinion about planetary nebulae is that they are created when shockwaves “blow” through them. Those shockwaves are said to be “winds” from exploding stars. In some cases, a nebula might be described as “star forming”,…
