A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Dec 13, 2019 Sediment samples indicate that there is a layer of nickel-rich ash covering the bottom of all the world’s oceans. Could cosmic plasma discharges be responsible? The bottom of the ocean is assumed to be a dark, cold and relatively stable environment. Barring the effects of occasional earthquakes,…
Dec 12, 2019 More Cassini data analysis. Saturn’s magnetosphere is an electrical environment, causing dark-mode plasma discharges and lightning bolts that flash across the ring plane. As previously written, when Cassini entered orbit around the giant planet, mission specialists were shocked to discover lightning of immense power, up to a million times more powerful than anything…
Dec 11, 2019 The Solar System is home to many devastated planets and moons. Most of the Sun’s family of rocky bodies are heavily cratered. For instance, a bright rayed structure covers almost an entire hemisphere of Saturn’s moon Rhea. It is similar to formations found on the Moon or…
Dec 10, 2019 Stars are not neutral entities existing in a medium that isolates them from one another. In an Electric Universe, stars are not powered by hydrogen fusion, but by incoming electric charge. If any fusion takes place, it is not in the core, but in the stellar photosphere,…
Dec 9, 2019 What is real in space is hidden behind veils of assumption. A recent press release reports that astronomers detected two “merging” galaxy clusters connected by filaments of plasma. As announcement states, “The presence of material connecting two clusters isn’t strange. But the area over which the team…
Dec 6, 2019 Astronomers are puzzled by abnormally high temperatures in the Milky Way’s core. In the image at the top of the page, an X-ray spectrum of the gases in the center of the Milky Way is consistent with temperatures from 10 million Celsius to as much as 100…
Dec 5, 2019 A ring of gas and stars is said to be orbiting the Milky Way. Galaxies are mysterious. Astronomers are still not sure if they are a rotating collection of individual stars held together by gravity, or if they are a discrete object, behaving as a whole. Consensus…
Dec 4, 2019 Space and time are not a fabric. In Einstein’s vision of the Universe, time and space are dynamic regions under constant change because matter creates “warps” or curves in both. Today, its interpretation views the Universe as a kind of geometric object that exists in a four-dimensional…
Dec 3, 2019 Hot spots on the gas giant planets are really very cold. NASA scientists have been puzzled by Saturn’s hot north pole, although the term “hot” is relative. The average temperature at the pole is around minus 200 Celsius. The northern latitudes of Saturn were hidden from the…
Dec 2, 2019 Stars explode for reasons not commonly reported. Astronomers using the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey recently discovered 27 new supernova remnants in the center of the Milky Way. Stars that are about eight times the Sun’s mass are subject to explosions that can eject their outer…
