In the cosmos there are regions where stars range in thousand light-year lines. Elsewhere, rings of stars can be found, along with galaxies stretching in filaments for enormous distances.
According to Heidi Jo Newberg, associate professor of physics and astronomy at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: “When we find large groups of stars formed into rings it’s an indication that at least part of our galaxy was formed by a lot of smaller or dwarf galaxies mixing together.”
Their conclusions are that dark matter sustains the ring of stars around the Milky Way. By consensus definition, those
It is possible that haloes of stars are actually examples of a dense plasma focus penumbra, with NGC7742 being a dramatic example. Images taken from experiments using a “plasma gun” offer a direct analogue to the “pinch zones” surrounding the discharge from the galaxy.
In 1960, Hannes Alfvén published a paper in which he proposed a mechanism for the formation of structures in space that does not depend on gravity alone. He wrote:
“The earth, the sun and many stars possess general magnetic fields. It is possible that interstellar clouds are magnetized…This makes is
Birkeland current filaments are the “transmission lines” through which electricity is conducted in the Universe. As a previous Picture of the Day (see right) points out, helical strands from the core of NGC 3079 are an indication that electricity is discharging from its nucleus. The swirling toroids that constrain the “young” hot stars in the halo of NGC7742 are a red flag to Electric Universe theorists.
One of the signature phenomena in a dense plasma focus is helical strands of energy that surround a powerfully radiating arc-mode discharge and a dark-current torus. The strands are helical magnetic fields that confine electrified plasma and act like power lines in space – Birkeland current filaments, in other words. That phenomenon is easily seen in cosmic formations.
It may be that filamentary strands in the penumbral clouds of stars and nebulae are energized by the gun, as several other examples illustrate.
