A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Jun 10, 2015 Plasma discharge experiments replicate Martian features. A recent press release calls the discovery of unusual crater formations in the Arabia Terra region of Mars evidence for collapsed “supervolcanoes”. Siloe Patera is composed of two large craters that make up a structure 40 kilometers long by 30…
Jun 09, 2015 European astronomers have discovered that some quasar spin axes are aligned with the Large Scale Structure (LSS) in which they’re embedded. The Electric Universe (EU) also expects quasars to be aligned with the larger Birkeland currents that power them. But the LSSs of the Big Bang…
Jun 8, 2015 An international group of scientists, led by Shyeh Tjing Loi of the University of Sydney, has made the first direct measurements of what appears to be a set of field-aligned “density ducts” or plasma tubes in the inner layers of the earth’s magnetosphere, some 400 to…
Jun 5, 2015 What force creates energetic beams that span distances measured in light-years? What confines them into narrow jets? Explaining the jets of ionized particles and X-rays often seen erupting from various galaxies and quasars ranks as one of the most difficult tasks facing modern astronomers. The prevailing…
Jun 04, 2015 ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the discovery of a “huge” star-forming region obscured by dust in the Spiderweb Galaxy protocluster. Alternatively, it may be a tiny spatter of dusty plasma ejected from a nearby galaxy. The Spiderweb Galaxy is a radio galaxy with a redshift of…
Jun 3, 2015 Most nebulae exhibit the unmistakable characteristics of electrical activity. Previous Thunderbolts Picture of the Day articles argue for an electrical interpretation of astrophysical observations. It is an alternative available for those who want extracurricular exploration and deeper levels. Every science journal describes nebulae like NGC 6537…
Jun 02, 2015 Some meteors begin to flare in the mesosphere. What causes large meteors to “burn up” or explode in Earth’s atmosphere? Is it friction and other aerodynamic effects? Is it that they are loosely conglomerated, being so frangible that turbulence causes them to breakup? During most meteor showers…
Jun 1, 2015 The Milky Way is more complex than previously thought. Any substance containing charged particles is a plasma: electrons, positive ions, electrically charged dust, neon lights, lightning, planetary magnetospheres, the so-called “solar wind,” stars, and even galaxies are plasma. However, Electric Universe advocates do not consider plasma…
May 29, 2015 An X-2 class solar flare recently missed a direct impact with Earth. Heliophysicists classify solar flares according to their brightness in X-ray wavelengths. C-class flares are the smallest on the scale, with X-ray measurements in the 10^-6 watts per square meter range (W/m^2), while X-class flares…
May 28, 2015 The definition of “life” can be ambiguous. The Galileo spacecraft was launched on October 18, 1989 from the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and subsequently entered orbit around Jupiter on December 7, 1995. After eight years in orbit, Galileo was deliberately incinerated by sending into the atmosphere of…
