A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
August 11, 2020 The Universe is a bright beacon. “If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.”— Samuel Morse A previous Picture of the Day discussed the phantom force known…
August 10, 2020 Origins-Spectral-Interpretation-Resource-Identification-Security-Regolith-EXplorer. NASA launched Osiris-Rex on September 8, 2016. It is currently in orbit around 101955 Bennu, preparing to collect a sample of the asteroid’s regolith and then returning it to Earth. Bennu is among 7000 Near Earth Objects (NEO) that orbit the Sun. Astrophysicists plan a manned-mission…
August 7, 2020 Some speculate that it was ice that carved Mars. As written previously, robotic wanderers traveling the surface, as well as satellite telescopes, are providing data for the “search for life” on Mars. Sources of water in the Solar System are considered a necessity if life is to be…
August 6, 2020 Dark energy is a kludge. More than twenty years ago, astronomers found that observations of remote galaxies seemed to indicate the Universe is expanding faster today than it did in the past. The Big Bang theory does not contain that anomalous observation, so a force that exerts…
August 5, 2020 Exoplanets are not well understood. The Ignis Fatuus is a vapor shining without heat.— Isaac Newton According to a recent press release, “…some of the weirdest planets…” yet discovered around other stars are the extremely hot “super-Earths”. These are rocky planets so close to their parent stars…
August 4, 2020 The Sun causes Earth’s magnetosphere to oscillate. Planetary scientists are slowly coming to realize that Earth’s ionosphere is connected to the Sun by “ropes” of electric charge.That idea is a basic tenet of Electric Universe theory. Earth has a plasmasphere, so it is electrically active, coupled to…
August 3, 2020 The prevailing opinions regarding planetary nebulae involve gases and dust “blowing” through them from “shock waves”. A nebula is often described as the remnant of a supernova explosion, because of intense X-ray radiation, or extreme ultraviolet light. In an Electric Universe, space is filled with plasma, not…
July 31, 2020 A helicopter on Mars. NASA launched the Perseverance rover on July 30, 2020. Its primary mission is to search for signs of microbial life on Mars—the goal of every lander sent to the Red Planet. This time, the lander will include a small helicopter. Perseverance will travel…
Jul 30, 2020 Are new moons hiding in Saturn’s rings? “We must believe then, that as from hence we see Saturn and Jupiter; if we were in either of the Two, we should discover a great many Worlds which we perceive not; and that the Universe extends so in infinitum.”—Cyrano…
Editor’s note: The Picture of the Day is off today. Please enjoy this article from the archives. July 29, 2020 The first pictures of Jupiter’s north pole show “…storm systems and weather activity unlike anything previously seen.” After an August 5, 2011 launch, and a five-year flight, the Juno spacecraft…
