Boiling Mad

  Nov 15, 2016 Back hole physics in the news again. A NASA press release announced that the “most luminous galaxy” ever observed is being consumed by the black hole at its heart. The rapid motion of gas and dust revolving around W2246-0526’s so-called “event horizon” is generating extreme turbulence throughout the galaxy’s…

Most Atypical

  Nov 14, 2016 Matter in the plasma state exhibits extreme activity. According to a recent press release, galaxy NGC 1222 is a “peculiar example” of lenticular galaxy. It is peculiar because lenticular galaxies are supposed to have used up the material available for new stars to form. NGC 1222,…

A Charged Comet

  Nov 10, 2016 Cometary electromagnetic fields are influenced by the Sun. According to a recent press release, the Rosetta Cometary Probe found what appears to be a “magnetic free region” around the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This observation fits with previous data from the Philae lander, which found that…

Double Layer Flare-up

  Nov 7, 2016 Electricity in space explains anomalous energy curves. Cosmologists often find it difficult to reconcile theory with observation. So-called “gamma-ray bursts” (GRB) are a case in point. GRBs were discovered first in galaxies with high redshift—some seeming to be 12 billion light-years away. If they are that…

Under the Sun

  Nov 4, 2016 The Sun displays electric arc behavior. The sun is new each day. — Heraclitus The Electronic Sun theory presupposes that sunspots, flares, coronal heating, and coronal mass ejections are due to changes in the Sun’s galactic electrical supply. The contention is that the Sun is powered externally,…

Ripples in Clear Space

  Nov 3, 2016 Where do galactic clumps and filaments come from? One proposal suggests that galaxies are drawn toward the center of galactic clusters through gravitational attraction. What is termed, “blow-back force” by astronomers supposedly pushes galaxies out and away from the direction of travel like a vast comet tail….
