Given that these electrical processes hold true at all scales, we then consider them in terms <strong>of</strong> solid planets<br />

and moons. You can imagine similar events happening to these bodies if they experience rapid changes in the<br />

charge density that surrounds them, such as where a planet in a short-lived elongated orbit would pass through<br />

a gradient <strong>of</strong> charge density around a star. Remember here that it has been recorded in ancient times that Venus<br />

was seen in the sky as a comet with a tail! Thankfully, things in our own solar system now seem peaceful.<br />

However, if this electrical balance was to be disturbed, then we could expect spectacular visual displays, and<br />

quite possibly, some degree <strong>of</strong> geological upheaval here on Earth.<br />

<strong>Our</strong> star, the Sun, does not operate through the action <strong>of</strong> a gravity-moderated nuclear explosion. It works instead<br />

as a concentrated ball <strong>of</strong> electrically excited plasma, where its visible glowing surface is maintained in arc mode<br />

by a drift <strong>of</strong> electrons flowing inward from the distant cathode region <strong>of</strong> our solar system, the heliopause, and by<br />

positive currents flowing into its poles from the interstellar circuit <strong>of</strong> which our star is a single component. The<br />

Sun is, in fact, an enormous fluorescent light that glows around a smaller, solid and much cooler anode core.<br />

Stars, as concentrations <strong>of</strong> plasma with their own heliospheres, move around and interact over amounts <strong>of</strong> time<br />

that mean little to us, for the human race has only been around for a hint <strong>of</strong> a tick <strong>of</strong> the universal clock. This is<br />

why, in order to gain anything close to a relevant perspective on these things, it is important to understand the<br />

scale <strong>of</strong> what is involved; such things as electromagnetic energy, amounts <strong>of</strong> matter, distance and time. Unless<br />

we get our heads around these, we cannot even begin to appreciate the relationship we have with the cosmos.<br />

Stars and regions <strong>of</strong> ionised dust and gas <strong>of</strong> all densities and dimensions interact electrically to provide the<br />

wondrous phenomena to which individual identities and explanations have traditionally been assigned, none<br />

<strong>of</strong> which are real or relevant. Black Holes, Neutron Stars, Pulsars, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and all other<br />

inventions <strong>of</strong> today's astro-science are, I suggest, explicable by electric current flow through and between<br />

regions <strong>of</strong> ionised matter on scales beyond our ken, and the electromagnetic forces involved in this process.<br />

<strong>Electric</strong>al stresses grow and diminish continually. Where this occurs in the extreme with stars, they can split<br />

apart or eject giant gas and solid planets, these then being manoeuvred to locations where an electrical balance<br />

is achieved within their charged environment. Gas giant planets under electrical stress go through this same<br />

process to produce the smaller solid bodies <strong>of</strong> moons that we now find so numerous in orbit around their parents.<br />

Every electromagnetic system, such as exists in our solar system, seeks to establish and maintain balance.<br />

The paths along which electric currents flow through ionised matter are surrounded by their self-produced<br />

magnetic fields. These fields have direction and keep together the plasma filaments that are subsequently formed<br />

in entwined bifilar pairs that have an overall rotational force. These Birkeland currents exist at every scale. They<br />

are responsible for the formation and operation <strong>of</strong> all major bodies in the plasma environment <strong>of</strong> space through<br />

their powerfully attractive, rotating electromagnetic forces and they provide the explanation for why galaxies,<br />

stars, planets and moons all display their own natural rotation.<br />
