Summer On Jupiter: Making A Second Sun

Published 4th June 2020

Jupiter is an enormous gas giant, more massive than all the other planets in the solar system combined... and yet small compared to our Sun and other Stellar Objects. Could Jupiter be turned into a second sun via advanced technology?

Sagittarius, Black Holes & Formation Of The Solar System

Published 5th June 2020

Galaxies may look serene and otherworldly in all those NASA photos, but how they actually came into being was the total opposite.

A new study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, has traced the influence these galactic crashes have had on the Milky Way, and found that one of them coincided with the birth of our Sun around 4.7 billion years ago. The study is based on data gathered by Gaia, a space observatory launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2013 to survey the stars of the Milky Way. As it looked onto the stars, Gaia discovered that the ripples caused by the Sagittarius galaxy crashing into the Milky Way triggered an uptick in star formation.

Just how complex the Milky Way actually is remained unknown until Gaia shed more light on it through 3D maps of the entire galaxy and the positions of its stars. The problem with previous conclusions about our galaxy’s star formation history is that they either focused on just the solar system and its close surroundings or were unable to isolate the star formation events that made the Milky Way what it is now.

Darryl Seligman PhD | Is Oumuamua One Of The Rarest Objects In The Universe?

Published 4th June 2020

Darryl Seligman joins John Michael Godier on Event Horizon to discuss his new paper which theorizes that the interstellar object Oumuamua may possibly be something never before seen, a hydrogen iceberg. The hydrogen iceberg travelled through the universe and the interstellar medium to our solar system and has proved to be a hard mystery to solve.

Paul Salazar | Is There Extraterrestrial Life In The Universe?

Published 29th May 2020

Humankind has always wanted to know if we are alone in the universe, and there are many scientific efforts underway to determine if there is life anywhere else in the universe besides Earth. Some of the research takes place by sending space probes throughout the Solar System to see if we can find evidence of current or past life. Some of the research takes place as we discover and analyse exoplanets. Other research is more passive, listening for signals from anywhere in the universe, looking for intelligence in the signals. And of course, Earth has been transmitting signals into space for nearly 100 years. We don't have a complete answer yet, but we are pursuing this in a detailed way.

Paul Salazar aka Urban Astronomer guides us through these efforts.

Chance Of Finding Young Earth-like Planets Higher Than Previously Thought

Published 5th June 2020



Research from the University of Sheffield has found that the chance of finding Earth-like planets in their early stages of formation is much higher than previously thought.

The team studied groups of young stars in the Milky Way to see if these groups were typical compared to theories and previous observations in other star-forming regions in space, and to study if the populations of stars in these groups affected the likelihood of finding forming Earth-like planets.

The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal, found that there are more stars like the Sun than expected in these groups, which would increase the chances of finding Earth-like planets in their early stages of formation.

This Exoplanet Suddenly Disappeared From Space, Where Did It Go?

Published 1st June 2020



A planet discovered by Hubble suddenly vanished. So where did it go, and what does its disappearance mean for the study of planetary systems?

Fomaulhaut b, one of the first exoplanets to be directly imaged by telescopes, vanished in 2014—but new research may finally explain where it went.

The planet was observed orbiting the star Fomalhaut (hence the name Fomalhaut b). The Hubble Space Telescope was the first to spot Fomalhaut b in 2004 and then again in 2006 as just a moving dot around its star, even though Fomalhaut b was estimated to be as massive as three Jupiters and much brighter than other exoplanets, which tend to be too small to reflect enough light for us to see.

But new analysis of Hubble's observations of Fomalhaut b suggests that a planet may have never been there in the first place, and in fact, what Hubble captured was something entirely different.

The Case of the Disappearing Exoplanet
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/s...-asteroid.html
"Perusing a decade of Hubble’s observations, some scientists now say that planet Fomalhaut b never existed."

Exoplanets: Alien Worlds
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/s...se/exoplanets/
"Calculations based on initial data from Kepler suggest that a hundred billion planets exist in the Milky Way galaxy. Of those, as many as ten billion may be rocky planets like Earth."

How Amateurs Could Help Future Exoplanet Observations
https://skyandtelescope.org/astronom...-observations/
"'I know there’s a ton of amateur astronomers out there that have really nice telescopes and that are capable of doing really high-precision observations,” says Zellem. “Even with a small 6-inch telescope, you can get really nice light curves.'"

Space News | Robert Hawthorne: Upheaval Dome & Lightning-Scarred Earth

Published 5th June 2020

For more than a decade, among the individuals exploring the concepts of an Electric Universe, a community has arisen which is devoted to exploring the surface of planet Earth. The geological processes of an Electric Universe go well beyond the theoretical toolkit in standard geology. Laboratory experiments involving electrical discharge to solid surfaces reveal familiar features seen on every rocky body in the solar system, including our home planet.

For a number of years, a variety of independent investigators have participated in regular group expeditions in the American Southwest, gathering evidence and developing analyses based on their observations. Robert Hawthorne Jr. is a significant and active contributor to the Electric Universe Geology group. During EU2017: Future Science, the Thunderbolts conference held in Phoenix that August, his Ongoing Exhibit, "Ejecta From Upheaval Dome, Utah", was a Peer-to-Peer Sharing feature of the Breakout salon.

In part one of this two part presentation, Robert offers his analysis on what may be one of the best candidates for an electrical scarring feature on Earth — the so-called Upheaval Dome in Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

Halo Of The Cat's Eye

Published 7th June 2020



In today's image, we see the Cat's Eye Nebula. This is an example of a planetary nebula which is what our Sun will become in about 6 billion years. The central core has collapsed down to a white dwarf star about the diameter of the Earth (but still containing most of the star's mass!) The outer layers have been expelled out into space and are energized by high energy radiation from the white dwarf.
