The Energetic Relationship between Enceladus and Saturn

These phenomena occurs in the same near vacuum in outer space as fluorescent tubes, sodium lights and neon signs.

(SAN DIEGO) - I can understand the skepticism years ago when I contended that the rings of Saturn were created via a magnetic field stimulating normally invisible atoms of gases to a glowing, visible state of excitement.

An advisory by NASA issued 20 April 2011 titled: “Cassini Sees Saturn Electric Link with Enceladus,” explains how the footprint and magnetic field lines are invisible to the naked eye, but detectable by the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph and the fields and particles instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

"NASA is releasing the first images and sounds of an electrical connection between Saturn and its moon Enceladus. The data collected by the agency’s Cassini spacecraft enable scientists to improve their understanding of the complex web of interaction between the planet and its numerous moons. After analyzing data that Cassini collected in 2008, scientists saw a glowing patch of ultraviolet light emissions near Saturn’s North Pole that marked the presence of a circuit, even though the moon is 150,000 miles away from the planet".

The report goes on to state that the patch occurs at the end of a magnetic field line connecting Saturn and its moon Enceladus.

"The area, known as an auroral footprint, is the spot where energetic electrons dive into the planet’s atmosphere, following magnetic field lines that arc between the planet’s north and south Polar Regions. The footprint discovery at Saturn is one of the most important fields and particle revelations from Cassini and ultimately may help us understand Saturn’s strange magnetic field. It gives us the first visual connection between Saturn and one of its moons.”

“The European Space Agency announced that its Herschel Space Observatory had found a huge donut-shaped cloud of water vapor encircling Saturn more than 373,000 miles across and about 37,000 miles thick. Though it is enormous, the cloud had not been seen before because water vapor is transparent at most visible wavelengths of light. But Herschel could see the cloud with its infrared detectors. While a small amount of gaseous water is locked in the warm, lower layers of Saturn’s atmosphere, it can’t rise to the colder, higher levels. To get to the upper atmosphere, water molecules must be entering Saturn’s atmosphere from somewhere in space. But from where and how? Those were mysteries until now.”

The photo illustrating the electric link with Enceladus and its ending with the plume of Enceladus appeared in my Oct. 15, 2011 Salem-News article. This is exactly the way I have been stating this plume is created – via the magnetic fields of Saturn and the Sun combined with the abnormally intense magnetic field at the pole of Enceladus stimulating the normally invisible atoms of sodium gases in the vicinity to a glowing, visible state of excitement.

If you look at the plumes of Enceladus in the photo in my Oct 15, 2011 article, you will notice that they look more like glowing gases than a geyser spewing water from the surface at 800 miles per hour. The rings of Saturn are created similarly.

By using the laboratory demonstrated example that a high voltage current forced through a wire creates a magnetic field swirling around the primary current flow, always clockwise, we can deduce a magnetic field current swirling around the north-south magnetic field current flowing through the core of Saturn.

This swirling magnetic field combined with the magnetic field current radiated from the sun stimulates the normally invisible atoms of gases in its path to a glowing, visible state of excitement.

Note that the 373,000 mile cloud of water vapor that the NASA scientists reported discovering encircling Saturn on Sept. 21, 2011 that is transparent at most visible wavelengths of light is comparable in size to the diameter of the rings of Saturn. While this cloud is much thicker than the visible rings only the gases in the direct path of the magnetic field current flow would be stimulated to a glowing, visible state of excitement.

Again, remember in 1980 NASA reported that the Voyager spacecraft detected a weak bluish glow from hydrogen and oxygen atoms as it approached Saturn. This is the same as the glow of the “geysers” of Enceladus. While the scientists report detecting salt rich ice crystals, it is hydrogen and oxygen atoms combined with sodium gases that are actually measured by the detectors on the Cassini spacecraft. As I stated before, it is absolutely impossible to have salt rich ice crystals because when salt water freezes it produces fresh, potable, salt free ice.

With this concept of the glow being created via an abnormally intense magnetic field, many of the anomalies within the rings of Saturn can be easily explained and demonstrated. If the crossing or combining magnetic field currents is reduced in intensity, the atoms of gases will not glow as brightly, creating a dark spot.

If they increase in intensity, they create a brighter area in the rings. While the gases can remain perfectly still or moving at 424,000 miles per hour, the magnetic field variation can create the illusion that they are moving in bizarre configurations in response to the energy intensity. It is absolutely impossible for the physical movement of solid particles of any kind to create the visible dark and bright anomalies by slowing down or stopping and then regaining their original uniform position in the rings when traveling at 424,000 miles per hour. It is simple to create this illusion with the variable intensity of magnetic field current stimulating atoms of gases to a glowing, visible state of excitement.

I have often reported a demonstration anyone can use to prove this concept with static electricity. If you rub a piece of polyethylene material or even an ordinary plastic store bag with your bare hand for ten seconds, you will generate a charge of static electricity in the plastic material and your hand.

Then, if you move your hand or the material near an unplugged fluorescent tube, the static electricity will stimulate the normally invisible gases within the tube to a glowing state of excitement. You will see that the intensity of the energy and the speed that you move your hand or the material affects the brightness of the glow you create.

And, you can see that you can move the gases within the tube in one direction while moving the energy flow in the opposite direction, the glow will follow the direction of the stimulating current, not the direction of movement of the gases. This demonstration very clearly proves that every bizarre feature of the rings of Saturn and the geysers of Enceladus is created via the magnetic field stimulating atoms of gases to a glowing state of excitement.

In fluorescent lights, sodium lamps and neon tubes, we can create every feature of the rings of Saturn as well as all of the bizarre “dances” of the aurora borealis and the tail and coma of comets.

When the Shoemaker-nine comet impacted on Jupiter, JPL scientist, Donald Yeomans commented: “If comets are 90 % water ice, why didn’t we detect water when it impacted on Jupiter? The Giacobini-Zinner spacecraft was reported to have been “zapped” by a static electricity charge.

The coma and tail of Halley’s Comet was reported to be “cleaner than the clean rooms that spacecraft manufacturers use to assemble their spacecraft.”

Comet Halley was reported to begin sublimating particles when it was still 600 million miles from the Sun where the temperature is colder than minus 300 degrees F and it produced a coma of only 50,000 miles in diameter while it was closest to the Sun for many months.

Then, after it had receded 1.5 billion miles from the Sun, it reportedly “erupted into a cloud of startling brightness 189,000 miles across where the temperature is colder than minus 330 degrees F… Obviously, these anomalies do not have anything to do with the heat of the Sun or water ice.

A comet traveling through the magnetic field of the Sun at 122,000 miles per hour (100 times faster than the muzzle velocity of a 38 caliber bullet) will generate the very same static electricity charge as rubbing a piece of polyethylene with your bare hand and stimulating the atoms of gases in its vicinity to a glowing state of excitement.

In a May 12, 2006 Science program the narrator, John Ralston, said: “Although the aurora is nearer to giving up its last few secrets, for now it defies complete comprehension. The first big mystery is how the particles coming from the Sun are accelerated so quickly into the upper atmosphere to form the aurora. What is firing them downward?

The second question is; what causes the complex beautiful cuts, vortices and filaments inside the aurora? Answering these questions will unlock the secrets of the aurora and at the same time, help us to understand the working of the cosmos. If you guys can figure this out, there is a Nobel Prize.”

If you try my demonstration, you can see that you can create every feature of the rings of Saturn, the coma and tail of a comet and the aurora borealis with the concept of static electricity or magnetic field current energy stimulating atoms of invisible gases to a glowing state of excitement.

All of these phenomena occur in the same near vacuum in outer space as fluorescent tubes, sodium lights and neon signs.. While the scientists are bewildered by how solid particles are so quickly accelerated to such high velocity, a magnetic field current flow travels normally at very high velocity.

Now that the infrared detectors of the Herschel Space Observatory has detected the atoms of gases that are transparent at most visible wavelengths and the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph has detected the magnetic field current flow that is not visible to the naked eye, these discoveries should be considered to explain the vast amount of mysteries in the universe still remaining to be resolved. Since these gases and energy were invisible, they were never considered in the process of trying to explain the mysteries. Now that they are known to absolutely exist, they should certainly be included as a factor.
