A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
May 07, 2012 Uranus recently erupted with a new bright region in its lower latitudes. Could electrical effects be responsible? The planet Uranus revolves around the Sun at a mean orbital radius of 2,870,990,000 kilometers, 19 times as far as the Earth. Of course, its most exotic attribute is its…
May 04, 2012 Enceladus continues to provide evidence supporting Electric Universe theories. On March 2, 2012 the Cassini-Solstice spacecraft flew by Saturn’s moon Enceladus at a distance of 74 kilometers, the closest it will come for the next three years. Cassini again passed over the “superheated geysers” erupting from the…
May 03, 2012 Both Saturn’s body and its rings are so electrically active that they shine in X-ray light. “Saturn is more like the Sun than the Earth.” — Wal Thornhill Almost everyone knows that one should not look directly into the flame of an arc welder, since the plasma…
May 02, 2012 The time has come to let the thermonuclear Sun theory go. Everything has a natural explanation. The Moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the Sun a hot rock. — Anaxagoras, Greek philosopher circa 550 BCE Hypothetically, how does the Sun produce heat and…
May 01, 2012 A new spacecraft will orbit Jupiter for over a year. On August 5, 2011 NASA launched the Juno Mission to Jupiter. After traveling out past the orbit of Mars, the spacecraft will return for a gravity assist from Earth on October 9, 2013, and then head out…
April 30, 2012 Did this ancient site experience a catastrophic end? Tiwanaku, or Tiahuanaco in Spanish, is a ruined citadel occupying almost 10 square kilometers in the Bolivian Andes at an altitude greater than 3800 meters. Carbon-14 dating methods suggest that the site is no more than 3700 years old….
April 27, 2012 The Sombrero galaxy appears to be a giant elliptical galaxy with an embedded disk. One of the most significant contributions to plasma cosmology comes from Dr. Anthony L. Peratt, a plasma physicist and protégé of the Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén. Peratt studied plasma formations in the laboratory…
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…
