A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Nov 13, 2017 Solar filaments appear dark because they are seen against glowing backdrops. These articles are intended to show that Electric Universe theory about plasma discharge behavior is a better model for solar activity than consensus ideas. Experiments with a positively charged sphere reveal that a torus forms above…
Oct 29, 2018 Astronomers see magnetism but not electricity. Scientists working with dynamos (an abbreviation of the nineteenth century term, electric-dynamo) think they found clues to how stars and galaxies acquire their magnetism. Turbulence in plasmas forms small magnetic fields, but scientists struggle to understand how those small fields coalesce…
Oct 26, 2018 Images of Saturn’s moon, Dione reveal trenches and cliffs. The Cassini-Huygens mission was launched from Cape Canaveral on October 15, 1997. Few now remember the public outcry against the mission. There were several attempts by citizens groups and the ACLU to stop the launch, because 33 kilograms…
Oct 25, 2018 Stars are electrical entities. The explosion of a star, otherwise known as a supernova, is a terminal event in stellar evolution—the star used up its fuel, collapsed under its own gravity, and then ejected most of its gaseous envelope because of “core rebound”. At least, that…
Oct 24, 2018 Nebulae display their true natures, but convention is unable to see them. “Imagination is a beast that has to be put in a cage.” — Timothy Spall NGC 6334, the Cat’s Paw nebula, is also known as the Bear Claw nebula. It is 50 light-years across and…
Oct 23, 2018 The Sun is not a ball of hot gas. The conventional model of how the Sun works relies on thermonuclear processes. Although no direct measurement is possible, temperatures in its core are thought to be more than 15 million Celsius, with compressive strain greater than 340…
Oct 22, 2018 The terrain found in Australia is not easy to explain using conventional theories. Many previous Picture of the Day articles discuss the continent of Australia. Wilpena Pound, Uluru, the Olgas, and the coastal topography seem to disprove gradual processes of sedimentation and erosion over millions of years….
Oct 19, 2018 The Chandra X-ray Observatory recently experienced a fault that, were it not resolved, would have meant the end of its life. As many Pictures of the Day demonstrate, Chandra, along with Hubble, Spitzer, and other space telescopes, provides fuel for Electric Universe fires. Modern astronomers measure the…
Oct 18, 2018 Aurorae on Jupiter are poorly understood by consensus astrophysicists. Jupiter is 142,984 kilometers in diameter at its equator. A day on Jupiter lasts only 9.925 hours. Its rapid rotational velocity means that its equatorial diameter is 9275 kilometers more than the distance between its poles. According…
Oct 17, 2018 MASCOT is on the surface of Ryugu. The Japan Aerospace mission, Hyabusa 2, recently deployed its third lander to the surface of asteroid 162173 Ryugu. After its December 3, 2014 launch date, and a velocity nudge from Earth’s gravity on December 5, 2014 Hyabusa 2 entered orbit…
