Saturn's Glow - Stimulated Atoms, Gases in a Visible State of Excitement

Saturn's intense magnetic field occurs the same way that gases react in a sodium lamp or fluorescent tube, when you turn on the electrical switch.

(SAN DIEGO) - A report issued by NASA at the end of last month, indicates the scientists are on the verge of solving many mysteries of the rings of Saturn. The report states: “Progress this year; now includes contributions from outside the project; new thinking on ring composition: organic UV absorbers? Why are the rings reddish? ‘Organic’ or inorganic origin? Lack of special features suggests nano-inclusions.“

The “New thinking on ring composition” after over 30 years is important. As my previous articles stated, I have contended that the glow of the rings is created the same way as the sodium lamps that we have used to light city streets for many years.

Sodium has been detected in the vicinity of the glowing “geysers” at the magnetic south pole of Enceladus. The sodium in our street lamps are stimulated to a brightly glowing state of excitement by passing an electrical current through them similar to the magnetic field current at the south pole of Enceladus and in the rings of Saturn.

It is important to remember that Saturn is over eight hundred million miles from the Sun where the ambient temperature is more than 100 degrees colder than the temperature in Antarctica and in 30 years not one scientist has provided a sensible explanation of how there could possibly be liquid water in the area.

By contrast, sodium atoms, a weak bluish glow from hydrogen and oxygen atoms recorded in 1980, and the immense magnetic field of Saturn and creating a bright light with sodium atoms are known, demonstrated and measured facts. Astronomers claim that comparing planetary magnetic fields to electricity is like comparing apples to oranges. However, electricians know that electricity is generated simply by spinning the magnetic field of a rotor through the magnetic field of a stationary stator at high speed.

Nothing else touches except the forcing of one magnetic field current through another magnetic field current at high speed. Similarly, the magnetic field of Enceladus spins through the magnetic field of Saturn and the Sun at high speed. And, in a Dec.7, 2006 NASA advisory it reported the “particles” in the rings of Saturn has been measured as traveling 424,000 miles per hour.

Keep in mind the muzzle velocity of a 38 caliber bullet is only between 1,200 and 1,500 miles per hour. The phenomenal speeds these gases, particles and masses that travel through the magnetic field currents of the Sun and the planets should not be totally ignored.

In a June 22, 2011 NASA news release, “Cassini Captures Ocean-like Spray at Saturn Moon”, it states “When water freezes, the salt is squeezed out, leaving pure water ice behind”, which is true. However, they then referred to “salt rich ice particles that have an ‘ocean-like’ composition”. And, “Cassini found that relatively large ice grains rich in sodium and potassium dominate the plumes”. And, The icy particles hit the detector target at speeds between 16,000 and 36,000 mph, vaporizing instantly.“

Several facts make this particle scenario impossible. First, salt is always squeezed out when salt water evaporates or freezes, so you cannot have salt-rich ice particles.

In the water distilling process in the navy, sea water is boiled and the resulting steam is condensed to produce pure, fresh drinking water. We have a company in California that creates ponds of ocean water that is left to evaporate expressly for the purpose of producing salt. Then, the salt that remains is sold as their product. So whether salt water is frozen, evaporated or boiled, the resulting water ice crystal is pure water, not sodium filled water ice. Second, even dry ice will not vaporize or sublimate when the temperature is colder than minus 109 degrees F...

The warmest temperature recorded at Enceladus was minus 145 degrees F... Third, at minus 300 degrees F.’ the ice would be as hard as iron so it would not vaporize on impact. Fourth, at 16,000 to 36,000 mph, the impact of “relatively large “, solid ice particles would destroy the detector, not vaporize instantly. Furthermore, in all of recorded history we have never had a hailstorm on Earth involving water ice evaporating from the ocean.

In an April 20, 2011 NASA advisory, “Cassini Sees Saturn Electric Link with Enceladus”, it reported; “The magnetic field lines of the magnetic connection between Saturn and its moon Enceladus are not visible to the naked eye, but are detected by the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph and the fields and particle instruments on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

In an April 10, 2011 Comment to my article one of the Salem News readers, J.D.A., wrote: “As an EE graduate, I know that the relationships of electromagnetism are immutable and not open to interpretation. Most people won’t mind if you loosely describe current as a flow of energy, but the actual definition is a flow of electric charge, which magnetic flux isn’t. While the basis of electronic theory is well understood, there are realms such as you describe where the laws are bent. I totally agree with challenging conventional wisdom, but one needs hard evidence to achieve credibility.

”I believe there is enough contradictions and mathematical impossibilities in the current conventional wisdom explanations of anomalies involved with Saturn, its rings and Enceladus to evaluate to amazing characteristics of magnetic field current flow as other than an immaterial and irrelevant effect and never the cause of an anomaly. For years, the astronomers insisted the electricity and planetary magnetism were totally different.

But on the Aug. 12, 2010 History program, “Magnetic Storm”, the scientists finally stated: “Electricity and magnetism are one and the same thing.”

From NASA's The Real Lord of the Rings

In the “Boys Book of Science” printed in the early 1900’s, it states: If you hold an iron pipe vertically, but with the top end pointing slightly north, the Earth’s magnetic field will align all of the molecules in the same polarity.

Then, if you strike the pipe sharp blow on the top end with a hammer, it will ‘set’ the polarity of the molecules permanently, creating a permanent magnet. If you hold the pipe in the middle and spin it past another magnet made in the same way with first the positive and then the negative end spinning near the other magnet, it will produce alternating electrical current.” So, alternating electrical current is actually intensified and alternating magnetic field current. Remember, in a 2008 NASA television program, “Lord of the Rings”, the narrator said, “Cassini’s close encounter with Saturn will bring us closer to unlocking its secrets.”

Then, Dr. Carolyn Porco said, “It is quite complex and it will take us a long time to figure it all out. I don’t think we will ever be able to figure all of it out.” Unless the scientists open their mind to the reality of magnetic field currents stimulating atoms of gases to a visible state of excitement, they will never be able to figure all of it out. Once this concept is recognized, the solution to many of the anomalies of the rings of Saturn and Enceladus can only be explained but even assimilated in a very simple demonstration.

In an e-mail from Dr Carolyn Porco dated Nov. 18, 2009, she stated: “I have no idea what you are talking about. In the images of the jets, you are seeing fine solid particles, not atoms or molecules.” Now, in the Sept. 27, 2011 advisory they report, “New thinking on ring composition: Organic UV absorbers.”

This is the gases I have been writing about for 30 years stimulating atoms of gases to a visible state of excitement, not organic UV absorbers! The sodium and intense UV energy has been detected and measured and reported in the April 20, 2011 NASA report.

And, in a newspaper article in the 1980’s, it states: “Here are some other things that Pioneer learned: On the way in Saturn’s environment exuded a weak bluish glow from hydrogen and helium atoms. A vast cloud of these atoms were discovered as the rings were approached, and a similar cloud was seen on the way near Triton.

Saturn has a magnetic field and its influence extends millions of miles.” Note that this glow was from hydrogen and helium atoms stimulated by the magnetic field of Saturn– not organic UV absorbers.

Instead of organic UV absorbers or nano-inclusions, these glows are created simply via the stimulation of atoms of ordinarily invisible atoms of gases to a glowing, visible state of excitement by the intense magnetic field of Saturn exactly the way the gases in a sodium lamp or fluorescent tube, or neon lights, are stimulated to a glowing state of excitement when you turn on the electrical switch.
