A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
April 26, 2012 Earth’s aurorae demonstrate the electrical connection between our planet and the Sun. The Sun unleashed another coronal mass ejection (CME) on October 22, 2011, causing an outburst of colorful displays in nighttime skies as far south as Arkansas, in the United States. There is an electrically active structure called a magnetotail…
April 25, 2012 New studies suggest that the origin of the strongest cosmic rays is still mysterious. Cosmic rays are energetic ions from space that arrive in the Sun’s local neighborhood traveling at extremely high velocities. About 90% of all cosmic rays are single protons, or hydrogen nuclei, followed by…
April 24, 2012 There are more globular clusters around the Milky Way than there ought to be. Stars form along filaments of electric current that flow through, into, and out of our galaxy. Studies of galactic magnetic fields show that the same process takes place to a greater or lesser…
April 23, 2012 The missing matter that has to be there to account for the “fast” rotation of the Milky Way’s arms is missing. Recent measurements of the velocities of stars within 13,000 light-years of the Sun have allowed astronomers to calculate the total mass of the matter in that…
April 20, 2012 More nails in the dark matter coffin. Dark matter is supposed to be what holds the Universe together. However, modern telescopes are not able to see it because it does not interact with luminous matter, except gravitationally. Since galaxies spin through the cosmos, as well as move…
April 19, 2012 The problem with astronomy is not that the stars are so far away or that modern instruments are expensive. The problem with astronomy is the human tendency to blink when something unexpected comes at you quickly. For three centuries, Newton was God, Gravity was King, and All…
April 18, 2012 Luminous nebulae confirm Electric Universe theory. 30 Doradus, otherwise known as the Tarantula Nebula, is a large glowing region in one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud. A well-known supernova, 1987a, exploded near the edge of the nebula. The Tarantula Nebula…
Apr 16, 2012 Redshift measurements of five galaxies verify what astronomers have always believed—if their beliefs are true. The nice thing about math is that it provides results that are absolutely true. Unless you’ve made errors in your addition, you can be sure that your conclusions are without doubt….
April 16, 2012 Charged vortices erupting from the Sun can form relatively dark cavities. Recently, much has been made about a so-called “black sphere connected to the Sun.” Outlandish claims that a solid object was in close solar orbit, “feeding” off the photospheric plasma, have appeared in various places on…
April 13, 2012 Rings around stars confirm Electric Universe theory. A recent press release from the European Space Agency announces that a ring around the star Fomalhaut (Fo-mal-HOUT) demonstrates “the glow from dust in the debris disc – a structure resembling the Kuiper Belt in the primordial Solar System –…
