A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Aug 19, 2014 Is the recently announced “cosmic web” based on erroneous conclusions? A press release from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), reports observations of the filamentary structure that comprises the Universe. A nebula exceeding 2 million light-years across, surrounding a quasi-stellar radio source (quasar) known as UM287, is said to…
Aug 18, 2014 Charged plasma surrounds the Solar System. Electric Sun theory presupposes that the Sun is a glowing anode, or positively charged electrode. Its oppositely charged cathode is invisible, a “virtual cathode,” called the heliosphere that exists billions of kilometers from its surface, where a “double layer” isolates…
Aug 15, 2014 Uranus exhibits activity similar to the other gas giants. The planet Uranus is 50724 kilometers in diameter at the equator, meaning the widest part of the planet, although its equator is tilted almost 90 degrees past horizontal when compared to all other planets in the Solar…
Aug 14, 2014 Not all features on Mars are electrical scars. It is often said that to the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Many times, Electric Universe advocates are accused of having too narrow an outlook, as if all that can be observed is the result…
Aug 13, 2014 Are colliding galaxies actually separating? Astronomer Halton Arp discovered several relationships between various galaxies, and between galaxies and quasars, that led him to speculate that redshift is not an indicator of recessional speed or of distance to remote celestial objects. Observations of those remote objects seem to…
Aug 11, 2014 Several previous Picture of the Day articles take issue with the idea that Mars once flowed with liquid water. Since Mars is now a freeze-dried, barren wasteland of rocks and dust, it is presumed that the supposed water features there evaporated over millions of years. When the…
Aug 8, 2014 Comets are not the only objects with tails. Since comets and their characteristics are in the news, it is good to remember that not all objects with tails are comets. Venus, for example, possesses a filamentary comet-like tail that stretches for millions of kilometers. Indeed, at its…
Aug 07, 2014 Modern astronomy has a planetary nebula (PN) problem: Gravity can’t do what PNs do. Astronomers invent a kind of pseudo-magnetism to fill the explanatory holes. This pseudo-magnetism is a reified presumption that’s unplugged from the electric currents that generate real magnetic forces. Consensus theory has PNs being…
Aug 6, 2014 Rosetta is orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko A little more than half way between Mars and Jupiter, at around 400 million kilometers from Earth, the Rosetta cometary probe completed its maneuvers and settled into orbit around 67P/C-G. Mission team members are analyzing images, in order to determine an appropriate…
Aug 05, 2014 The Dawn spacecraft will arrive at Ceres in August of 2015 Ceres is the largest asteroid in the Solar System. The most recent measurement from the Hubble Space Telescope puts it at approximately 975 kilometers in mean diameter. It is so large that it is roughly spherical,…
