A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

Note that Nova is the name given to an ‘event’ rather than to a solid
object. The word ‘nova’ comes from Latin for ‘new’. It was used
by astronomers long ago as a reference to ‘new stars’ that suddenly
appeared in the heavens. Perhaps confusingly, the terms ‘nova’ and
‘supernova’ can be used by today’s astro-science to represent both
the birth of stars and their gravity-managed death; one has to read
the detail to understand the use of these terms that are supposed to
represent the differences in the apparent power involved in each.

The observed amounts of energy and levels of radiation produced by nova and supernova events has always been
a problem for astro-scientists to explain, most likely because they only have available to them the inadequate
tools of feeble gravity and mechanical shock as a basis on which to meet this challenge.
In EU terms, novae are caused by stellar electric discharges on a massive scale during the birth of dwarf stars,
gas giant planets, rocky planets and moons, rather like mega solar mass ejection events [6-24] . Supernova events
are cataclysmic releases of energy in cosmic electric circuits that are focussed on Z-pinch events. These pinches
can mark both the birth of stars as has previously been described or their destruction through the explosion of
stellar scale Double Layers (DLs) that can form around stars that suffer extreme electrical stress from power
fluctuations in their cosmic environment. The gas and dust of the often symmetrical glowing remnants of these
explosions are what we call planetary nebulae [6-25] .
We should now be well aware that powerful discharge events occur when stars become over-stressed and attempt
to reduce the charge they are forced to carry. They can also explode completely if the electrical stress imposed
on them from their environment is sudden and unmanageable in nature. The energy released by the pinch event
and the breakdown of the DL barrier by such an event produces copious EM radiation that interacts with the two
axially aligned Birkeland currents that supply the event to give off
X-rays that betray the structure of the BCs as a series of concentric
‘sheaths’ that surround their respective central axes. These BCs
having been asked to rapidly carry a vast amount of current also
become visible due to their ionised matter switching from dark to
glow mode. Images of this type of event, where powerful radiation
is generated and detected, now reveal the normally hidden Birkeland
currents and allow us to see their bi-polar orientation, as here in this
picture of the Ant Nebula.
