A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Apr 23, 2014 Venus is a young, electrically active planet. “Venus was described as a ‘hairy star,’ a ‘star that smoked’ and as ‘a stupendous prodigy in the sky.’ So it is significant that one of the earliest space-age discoveries about Venus was its ‘cometary magnetotail’, in the form…
Apr 22, 2014 The discovery of ‘mega-lightning’, upper-atmospheric lightning or transient luminous events (TLEs) is relatively recent, due to the fleeting nature of these phenomena: most last no longer than a few milliseconds. A menagerie of types – such as the playfully labelled ‘sprites’ and ‘ELVES’ – discharge energetically between…
Apr 21, 2014 Galaxies are electrically active. The image at the top of the page is a composite. It is made up of optical data from the 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory and one from the Hubble Space Telescope. The highlighted red features are areas that are thought…
Apr 18, 2014 Was the innermost planet once wracked by explosive vulcanism? The MESSENGER spacecraft has been a satellite of Mercury for a little more than three years. Its arrival on March 18, 2011 marked one of the longest voyages to cover the shortest distance of any mission. MESSENGER…
Apr 17, 2014 A new mission designed to study the Sun’s electrical relationship with Mars will soon be launched. Sometime in the morning a few months from now, between November 18 and December 7, 2013, NASA will launch the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission. Otherwise known as MAVEN, the project…
Apr 16, 2014 What caused the mass concentrations on the Moon? Consensus scientific theories postulate that the Moon experienced extreme selenological activity early in its history. Cataclysmic devastation occurred at some time in the past. Giant craters, wide and deep valleys, and multi-kilometer long rilles crisscross its surface. The…
Apr 15, 2014 Data from the MESSENGER probe to Mercury continues to provide evidence for the Electric Universe theory. The planet Mercury has no atmosphere and little in the way of a magnetic field, so it is bombarded by the full force of the Sun’s radiation. Since the Moon…
Apr 14, 2014 Are coronal loops coronal mass ejection precursors? Professor Donald Scott’s The Electronic Sun theory shows that the phenomena observed on the Sun are electrical in nature. Sunspots, solar flares, anomalous coronal heating, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on the Sun occur because of changes in the electrical supply…
Apr 11, 2014 Ionic rain from Saturn’s rings. Saturn’s plasmasphere is an electrical environment, causing everything from dark-mode plasma discharges to lightning bolts that flash across the ring plane. When Cassini entered orbit around the giant planet, mission specialists were shocked to discover lightning of immense power, up to a million times more powerful than…
Apr 10, 2014 Can the surface of a tiny moon help to explain the mysterious geography of Mars? In an Electric Universe, the charged moons and the charged rings around Saturn are alternately repelling and attracting each other as they move through the gas giant’s plasma sheath. Electric discharges from…
