A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
October 7, 2020 Galactic filaments are not kinetic phenomena. Astronomers ponder the enigmatic structure of Galaxy NGC 1275. Multiple strands of material extend outward in light-years-long tendrils, enclosing it in a loose cocoon. The filaments are examples of ionized hydrogen atoms. Since hydrogen is composed of one electron and one…
October 6, 2020 Are red giant stars old or young? “Children will always be afraid of the dark, and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse will always tremble at the thought of the hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars…”—…
October 5, 2020 Solving a particular puzzle can be clouded by a layer of presumptions. The Milky Way hosts at least two smaller satellite galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. However, some astronomers suspect that there are as many as 80 or more, such as the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte dwarf galaxy….
October 2, 2020 The Solar System was chaotic a few thousand years ago. The features on all the moons and rocky planets support that idea. How many thousands of years ago that chaos occurred isn’t important, since it is not millions of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years…
October 1, 2020 What brought methane to the Red Planet? According to a recent press release, measurements taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover show a “higher than expected” amount of methane in the Martian regolith. Planetary scientists believe that methane is important, since one way it forms is through biological processes….
September 30, 2020 Evidence for past Solar System alignment? Comets are among the best sources for data about the electric Universe. Many articles and video presentations discuss hot comets, as opposed to the “dirty snowball” hypothesis. Comets are rocky, sandy, and dry. They are not frozen denizens from deep space…
September 29, 2020 Uranus is an anomaly in the Solar System. The gas giant planet, Uranus is 50,724 kilometers in diameter at the equator, making it the third largest object in the Solar System. A unique aspect of Uranus is that its equator is tilted almost 90 degrees. Most of…
September 28, 2020 Various plasma instabilities are found on Jupiter. NASA launched the Juno spacecraft on August 5, 2011. Its primary mission includes analyses of Jupiter’s massive plasmasphere: how do its electromagnetic influences affect the Jovian system. Since Jupiter radiates more energy than it receives from the Sun, astronomers think…
September 25, 2020 It has been awhile since the latest report about comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The Rosetta spacecraft crashed into it on September 30, 2016. Aurorae on Earth are cause by charged particles from the Sun. As previously written, the U.S. Navy satellite, TRIAD, recorded electromagnetic disturbances as it passed over…
September 24, 2020 New insights from four Cassini instruments reveal mysteries in Saturn’s rings. Saturn’s rings are approximately 416,000 kilometers wide, but are estimated to be a mere 50 meters thick, possibly as little as 10 meters. This means that Earth-based telescopes detect only a thin wire extending across the…
