A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Dec 31, 2018 Do convection currents and vibrating magnetic field lines create the dynamic phenomena observed on the Sun? According to the thermonuclear fusion model of the Sun, hydrogen in its core is crushed with so much force that it is converting to helium, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. The…
Dec 28, 2018 Neptune is another remote celestial body that exhibits many anomalies. On July 12, 2011 Neptune completed its first orbit around the Sun since it was discovered on September 23, 1846. This means that observations of the giant planet are lacking, since its great distance strains astronomers’ ability…
Dec 27, 2018 Mercury is in the crosshairs. In October 2018, a joint mission to Mercury will be launched. The BepiColombo mission is named after Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo (1920-1984) from the University of Padua, Italy. As the mission highlights page indicates, Colombo was the first to understand that Mercury’s…
Dec 26, 2018 Lateral spin. 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 the other planets are tilted no more than 24 degrees…

Among heliophysicists it is commonly thought that the Sun accelerates charged particles into space in the same way…
Dec 20, 2018 Stars are inherently unstable. Heliophysicists believe that there is an electric dynamo inside the Sun. Two forces are conventionally thought to power it. One is the stretching of magnetic fields due to the Sun’s rotation (change in rotation rate), caused by differences in latitude. The other…

Dec 18, 2018 Nebulae are not what you may think they are. The prevailing opinion about planetary nebulae is that they are created when shockwaves “blow” through them. Those shockwaves are said to be “winds” from exploding stars. In some cases, a nebula might be described as “star forming”,…
Dec 17, 2018 Stone spheres are found all over the world. Stone spheres were worshipped by some past civilizations, especially if they dropped out of the sky. They were often placed on plinths and were thought to be messengers from heaven. People in Greece, Rome, Arabia, and many other locations,…
