A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Apr 9, 2014 The largest galaxy cluster is said to contain a majority of dark matter. “One can show the following: given any rule, however ‘fundamental’ or ‘necessary’ for science, there are always circumstances when it is advisable not only to ignore the rule, but to adopt its opposite.” —…
Apr 08, 2014 Enceladus continues to confirm the electrical nature of its topography. Saturn’s moons are difficult to categorize, let alone explain. As previous Picture of the Day articles point out, they vary in composition, orbital inclination, size, and mass. With 61 moons now identified, Saturn appears more like a miniature…
Apr 7, 2014 A black hole in the center of NGC 2110 is said to be spawning new star clusters Previous Picture of the Day articles repeatedly take issue with the idea that black holes are part of the Universe. It is a common expression in astronomical reports that black…
Apr 04, 2014 Bees can sense the electric fields generated by flowers Previous Picture of the Day articles discuss aspects of biology that rely on electricity. Whether it is the transportation of nutrients and electrolytic compound in and out of cells, or the motive action of bacterial flagella, electric charge…
Apr 03, 2014 Rather than searching for exotic explanations, this celestial object can best be described using plasma physics. According to astronomers from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the so-called “supernova remnant” Cassiopeia A (or “Cas A”) harbors a strange passenger within the neutron star that is supposed to inhabit its interior,…
Apr 2, 2014 The Rosetta Cometary Probe will soon arrive at its destination. On March 2, 2004, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Rosetta Cometary Probe on a rendezvous mission with 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a short period comet that will enter perihelion in August of 2015. One year after launch,…
Apr 01, 2014 How old are the stars? Why are stars found where we find them? What causes them to form and how do they age? These questions are commonly asked by astronomers and philosophers alike. If the stars are born and die according to certain parameters, then a…
Mar 31, 2014 What is lurking near the center of our galaxy? According to a recent press release, a “magnetized neutron star”, otherwise known as a “magnetar” is spinning at an amazing speed near the Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) region of the Milky Way. Sagittarius A* is said to be…
Mar 28, 2014 Is the strange polygon at Saturn’s north pole a fluid dynamics phenomenon? In November 1980, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, now billions of kilometers away from Earth near the Sun’s heliospheric boundary, flew by Saturn. At that time, it recorded an astonishing image, a hexagonal formation in the…
Mar 27, 2014 Martian dust devils exhibit electrical characteristics. There are also electric whirlwinds on Earth. As long ago as March 2005, Electric Universe advocates wrote about the surprising discovery of dust devils spinning across the Martian deserts. Cameras in space, as well as on the Martian surface returned many images of…
