A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Dec 14, 2018 Jupiter is the king of planets. On August 5, 2011 NASA launched the Juno spacecraft. After a five-year flight, Juno entered orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016. Jupiter is so large that all of the other planets could fit inside its 1.77 X 10^15 cubic kilometer…
Dec 13, 2018 Matter in the plasma state is electrically active. According to a recent press release, collimated jets result from matter falling into the putative gravity field of a black hole. As stellar matter orbits closer, it is said to accelerate, causing violent collisions among the jet particles,…
Dec 12, 2018 How did the uncountable numbers of iron oxide spherules form on Mars? The Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity rolled across the face of Mars for many years. Opportunity was launched on July 7, 2003. After a six month journey, it bounced to a landing inside a…
Dec 11, 2018 Dark theories challenged again. “It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills, It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien Previous Picture of the…
Dec 10, 2018 “Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.” — Erasmus Previous Picture of the day articles take issue with the theory of dark matter. Astronomers think that an undetectable kind of matter must exist in space, because stars on the edges of spiral galaxies revolve with…
Dec 7, 2018 X-rays from galactic cores are accelerated by electric fields. Rather than accepting electric fields as a source, astronomers prefer to think of “strong winds blowing” out of the galaxy’s core. Often called “Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources” (ULX), they are points across the sky more powerful than a million…
Dec 6, 2018 How long it takes things to form in space is a complete mystery. Black holes continue to elude detection by the most powerful telescopes and radiation sensors, but the consensus community insists that they exist, because they say that they can be inferred by their effect…
Dec 5, 2018 The moons of Mars are scarred worlds. The two moons of Mars are called Phobos and Deimos, meaning “fear and “panic”. Phobos is extensively studied by Earth-based telescopes and by satellites in Mars orbit. Deimos, however, is so small that major observations are impossible from Earth. Stickney…
Dec 4, 2018 Do stars follow the laws of gravity? Stars do not follow the course that conventional understanding demands. They are not born in clouds of gas far less dense than a puff of smoke. They are not balls of hot gas, they are composed of various elements…
Dec 3, 2018 Most stars revolve in pairs. The stars in the Milky Way travel with one or more companions, so something influences the formation of multiple star systems. Stars are so remote from one another that it is unlikely that binary stars are due to gravitational attraction. On March…
