Now you can see what is thought to be a black hole on video – or bright flaring activity (see www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-298&cid=release_2010-298 ). Whatever it is emits random bursts of energy and can become then three times as bright in a matter of hours, before fading again. It is orbited by a companion star. See the video link at www.astro.isas.jaxa.jp/~pgandhi/wise_gx339/wise_blackhole_anim.html and a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters by a number of scientists from Japan, India, the UK, Europe and US (see also http://wise.astro.ucla.edu ).

The WISE mission has also turned up some interesting information on asteroids (see www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-296&cid=release_2011-296 ) in a search for the origin of the rock from space that was responsible for the demise of dinosaurs.

 Meanwhile, at www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2011/09/15/goddess-of-the-hearth/ it is claimed that Vesta is confirming Electric Universe ideas – on planetary scarring. Significantly, they refer to the huge crater 50km wide as reported by NASAs Dawn mission to the asteroid.

Also, on the same web site, www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2011/09/13/the-dark-of-the-sun/ there is a detailed image of the Sun's chromosphere – worth looking at just for that. According to the EU model the Sun if a glowing anode.
