Cassini and IBEX Set to Rewrite the Textbooks on the Solar System
Science's understanding of the physics of our own solar system is due for an overhaul. Recent papers from the IBEX and Cassini teams are set to overturn existing models. Those models failed to predict significant... Surface Sputtering Confirmed as Source of Moon Water.
Recently it was announced that several probes had unequivocally shown that OH (hydroxyl radical) and H2O (water) were present at the surface of the moon in minute quantities. However, it was unclear how it got... Spectra Confirm Ice on Asteroid 24 Themis. How Did it Get There?
It seems that space age instruments are now finding evidence of water-ice in the many locations we have pointed them to look. The latest to be confirmed includes asteroid 24 Themis. But is it from subsurface... Electrical Erosion (Sputtering) in Our Electric Solar System.
Recent data from the moon indicates that OH (hydroxyl radical) and/or H2O (water) may exist on or above the surface of the moon. But what does it mean and how does it relate to active processes at Mercury,... Mathematician Claims Black Holes Due to Faulty Math (Follow-Up)
In a prior news article, it was noted that mathematician Stephen J. Crothers has offered a mathematical challenge to the notion of black holes. In a recent videoconference presentation to the Natural Philosophy... Actor David Carradine Dead in Bangkok at 72.
Initial reports from police indicate that David Carradine committed suicide in his Bangkok hotel room. "Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found naked by a hotel maid in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body." "A US embassy official... Mercury's "Magnetic Tornadoes" and the Big Picture...
Well, it seems that Mercury and Earth aren't so dissimilar after all, at least in terms of their magnetospheric interactions with space. But, I wonder, when does anecdotal evidence cease being anecdotal and... 1197 views | 50 recommendations | 11 comments
Solar Flare Precursors are Electric! But What About Venus?
Well, it seems they're finally figuring out that solar flares originate from powerful electric currents. "'Sigmoids' are S-shaped structures found in the outer atmosphere of the Sun (the corona), seen with X-ray... Electrical Tornadoes Power the Auroras!
All things old are new again... Hundred-year-old electrical science has finally come back into fashion! The latest results from the THEMIS satellite fleet leave no wiggle room. The auroras are powered by what... Cure for Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder?
It seems that the culprit may have been a specific pathogen: Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia). Researchers in Spain apparently identified the pathogen in professional apiaries and treated it with antibiotics in...

Tornado Hunters May Have an Unlikely New Ally: Electricity.
While tornadoes have been portrayed as large fluid-like vortexes, tornado prediction has been spotty because we neither understand why they sometimes form and sometimes don't nor how to tell for sure one is forming... 1420 views | 57 recommendations | 13 comments
Patenting Nature? FDA in Bed with Big Pharma Over Vitamin B6...
Recently, it was brought to light that FDA Scientists are Revolting (against upper management, that is). Perhaps now it's time for a more general uprising against the FDA. When is enough too much already? It seems... 1272 views | 99 recommendations | 12 comments
