The idea <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> physical locations across all <strong>of</strong> which the energy received at all wavelengths is constant,<br />

is like placing a thermometer in random locations throughout a sealed and heated enclosed space. No matter<br />

where you take measurements a similar amount <strong>of</strong> heat energy will come from every direction - the bulb <strong>of</strong> the<br />

thermometer in this case representing a planet orbiting inside the plasmasphere <strong>of</strong> a low-power star [6-23] .<br />

However, this situation could be seen as having its drawbacks, for again, as I said previously about Jupiter and<br />

its moons, to look up into the sky from the surface <strong>of</strong> a planet located inside a brown dwarf’s plasmasphere,<br />

would be to see only a glowing purple haze from horizon to horizon. There would be no stars to see beyond<br />

that opaque barrier and the inhabitants <strong>of</strong> such a planet would have no clue about anything existing beyond it.<br />

The ionised bubble <strong>of</strong> the star itself would be like our own Sun’s heliosphere, isolated from space beyond by<br />

a charge separating DL that would not allow the easy passage <strong>of</strong> radio waves and which would perform the<br />

same role as our own Sun’s heliopause. Because <strong>of</strong> this, the inhabitants would have no reason to view radio<br />

technology as anything other than a tool for communications across the surface <strong>of</strong> their own planet or possibly<br />

with other companion planets <strong>of</strong> the same star. They would also have no idea <strong>of</strong> the existence <strong>of</strong> galaxies or the<br />

potential for life to exist beyond the beautifully glowing canopy above their isolated world.<br />

Nebulae: ‘Nebula’ is an old word in astronomy. It was used long ago to describe very dim patches <strong>of</strong> light in the<br />

night sky that were thought only to be clouds <strong>of</strong> dust in our own Milky Way galaxy. As astronomy progressed<br />

and optical equipment improved, some <strong>of</strong> these were actually found to have structure to them. Most <strong>of</strong> these<br />

turned out to be galaxies <strong>of</strong> one form or another, far beyond our own, but true enough, some really were just<br />

regions <strong>of</strong> dust and gas within the Milky Way. The name itself has been retained but now only refers to regions<br />

<strong>of</strong> apparently glowing dust and gas. In EU terms, Nebulae are fantastically dimensioned regions <strong>of</strong> ionised dust<br />

and gas as radiation-emitting plasma that is manipulated by powerful EM forces as opposed to puny gravity.<br />

Nebulae result from cataclysmic electrically driven events<br />

such as exploding electric stars. They can range in size from<br />

one to many hundreds <strong>of</strong> light years across; this is in the<br />

order <strong>of</strong> a few trillion to thousands <strong>of</strong> trillions <strong>of</strong> miles.<br />

Filamentary Birkeland currents flow within and through<br />

them and act there to draw together plasma matter to form<br />

new stars through powerful Z-pinch events and to bring<br />

about other spectacular electrical interactions. When dwarf<br />

star and planet-forming events occur and we observe them<br />

here on Earth, we call them ‘Nova’ events.<br />
