The most intense electromagnetic event known to occur in the heavens is the gamma ray burst. For many years, scientists have claimed that most gamma ray burst occur when stars run out of nuclear fuel then collapse to form a black hole, neutron star or quark star. However, a recently…
It’s one of the great mysteries of solar physics. Why is the temperature of the Sun’s Corona exponentially greater than the temperature of the Sun’s surface? For nearly 75 years, this question has haunted solar physicists, who have attempted to reconcile the anomaly with the thermonuclear model of the Sun.
Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope are expressing their complete bafflement over a recently observed asteroid, P2013/P5, which has astonished scientists with its unprecedented display of six cometary-like tails. Adding further surprise, the astronomers watched as the object’s tail structures dramatically changed over just 13 days.
Astronomers today are puzzling over the unexpected brightening of a recently discovered comet. On October 20, an observer in Japan noted that the brightness of Comet X1 LINEAR was over 100 times greater than astronomers had expected, which they explain by vaporization of ice from solar heating. But does this…
Between May and December of 2002 a remarkable event occurred in the heavens. A previously unknown star named V838 Mon brightened spectacularly–then faded–then leaped back to life. At its brightest, it was about a million times brighter than the sun. Listen to Dr. Donald Scott’s thoughts regarding this mystery. Dr….
What does it mean to say we live in a plasma universe? And why is the plasma universe an electric universe? Listen here for a brief explanation by David Talbott. This video clip is scheduled for inclusion soon in Chapter 5 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe. Check…
This brief video is scheduled for inclusion soon in Chapter 3 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe. Check out Chapters 1 and 2 of the Beginner’s Guide in development at: https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/begin… Contrasting viewpoints are the fuel for progress in all human inquiry. Vive la difference! A contrast can…
Recently discovered X-ray emitting plasma arms of the Coma Galaxy Cluster, stretching almost half a million light-years, have left astronomers scratching their heads. The expected turbulence, predicted by their gravitational models, was not found.
This video clip will be included in Chapter 2 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe, now in development.
It’s said that our universe is filled with billions of galaxies. But how far away are they? Astronomers calculate galaxies’ distances by measuring their redshift. The most redshifted galaxies are said to be the most ancient and remote. But recently astronomers using the Hubble Telescope have observed galaxies that are…
