A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Jun 29, 2016 There are no “super magnets” in space without powerful electric discharges. The standard model of stellar evolution proposes that pulsars are neutron stars rotating at incredible speed. In 2006, PSR J1748-2446ad was reported to spin at 43,000 RPM—the blades of a kitchen blender do not exceed…
Jun 24, 2016 Space and time do not bend. “Gravitational lensing” theory is used to explain the arcs of glowing material surrounding some galaxies. They also use it in conjunction with other theories to help deal with puzzling observations. One of those puzzles involves the so-called expanding Universe. Combining…
Jun 23, 2016 The dwarf planet Ceres shares many characteristics with other rocky bodies. NASA launched the Dawn spacecraft on September 27, 2007. Its scientific observations of the asteroid Vesta began on July 17, 2011 and ended on September 5, 2012 when Dawn fired-up its ion thruster engine and headed toward…
Jun 22, 2016 The Sun’s activity drives Earth-based phenomena. Picture of the Day articles point out that there are linkages between galactic electric currents, solar electric currents, and terrestrial electric currents. Earth is connected to a circuit that flows through the cosmos, but that circuit is difficult to perceive….
June 20, 2016 How are stars and galaxies born? The Milky Way is thought to harbor nearly a trillion stars in orbit around its central gravity source. According to cosmologists, our galaxy condensed out of a cloud of hydrogen and dust thousands of light-years wide, with a more-or-less homogeneous…
Jun 17, 2016 Earth displays its celestial nature. Intense lightning in thunderstorms can interact with electricity (cosmic rays) coming from space. When the right conditions in Earth’s atmosphere occur, lightning causes giant particle accelerators to form above the clouds. Cosmic rays are high energy sub-atomic particles, mostly protons, that…
Jun 16, 2016 Rocky bodies in the Solar System share a common experience. Recently, a press release from the Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT) announced the discovery of high temperature minerals in meteorites that goes against the standard interpretation of Solar System formation. As the article states, meteorites are…
Jun 15, 2016 Stars do not age according to modern ideas. “It is reasonable to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star.” — Arthur Eddington, Astrophysicist T Tauri stars take their name from the original…
Jun 14, 2016 Electrical effects drive pulsars. When any charged particle follows a curved trajectory, or is accelerated in a straight-line, it will emit electromagnetic radiation, otherwise known as synchrotron radiation. Synchrotron radiation creates X-rays and gamma-rays, a phenomenon demonstrated in laboratory experiments. Gamma-rays are a class of theoretical “electromagnetic…
June 13, 2016 Diamonds aren’t forever? Note: This Picture of the Day is associated with a free movie from Ancient Destructions.

These chaotic electromagnetic…
