A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Mar 26, 2019 Comets are not made of ice and mud. Accepted astrophysical theories would never lead astronomers to consider X-rays from comets. Comets are supposed to be dirty snowballs, gradually melting away as they approach the Sun. However, as previously written, both the Giotto and Deep Impact missions revealed…
Mar 25, 2019 Remote globular clusters exhibit anomalous light frequencies. “I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and…
Mar 22, 2019 According to conventional thinking, gravity and acceleration cause stars and galaxies to produce radiation. Central black holes accelerate particles of dust, along with hydrogen gas, and are said to cause “jets” out of galactic nuclei. When a galactic jet encounters regions of increased density, collisions between particles…
Mar 21, 2019 The Milky Way is built from plasma. NASA launched the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope on June 11, 2008. Its primary mission is observing high frequency electromagnetic waves in space, including gamma-rays. Gamma-rays are the most energetic of the three types of radioactivity, with values 10^15 times greater…
Mar 20, 2019 Over twenty years ago, astronomers discovered that they think the Universe is expanding. Observations of distant galaxies appear to indicate that the Universe is expanding faster today than it did in the past. Since that information does not fit into conventional Big Bang theories, the existence of…
Mar 19, 2019 Electricity sculpted Rhea. Recently, Cassini completed its multi-year mission in orbit around Saturn. During that time, it trained its camera on the majority of Saturn’s moons, including Rhea. Rhea is second in size to Titan, with a mean diameter of 1528 kilometers. One of its more interesting…
Mar 18, 2019 Mankind’s greatest killer plague: What controls human destiny? Around 1340 AD began a series of wars between England and France that lasted over a century. It was made famous by Shakespeare in his inventive but glorious Saint Crispin’s day speech by Henry the fifth at the Battle of…
Mar 15, 2019 Editor’s note: The Picture of the Day will be on a brief hiatus until Wednesday, March 20. In the interim, please enjoy these articles from the archives. The Australian Bunurong tribe recorded the catastrophic formation of Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay in their mythology. “Plenty long ago, you…
Mar 14, 2019 High temperatures in galaxy clusters are an enigma. Astronomers use gravity as their primary explanation for most energetic events, like high temperatures in the galaxy cluster shown above. It “must be” because of collisions among its member galaxies in the remote past, or from the merger of…
Mar 13, 2019 Many celestial bodies display multi-ringed formations. Mare Orientale can be found near the western rim of the Moon, making it difficult to see from Earth. It has a nearly complete concentric ring structure with a surrounding basin of mare material. The mare is bounded inwardly by steep…
