In 1899, while conducting experiments with a sensitive receiver he had invented, Nikola Tesla picked up some unusual signals which he believed were extraterrestrial in origin. Two scientists have now provided solid scientific evidence not only that Nikola Tesla was observing real phenomena – that the signals he was picking up with his receiver were planetary in origin – but that Tesla had made the first successful observations in radio astronomy, more than 30 years before Karl Jansky. … More Nikola Tesla and the History of Radio Astronomy
This is a chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, published by the W.M. Welch Scientific Company in 1944, and posted online about three years ago. It covers electromagnetic radiation from simple diffraction to cosmic rays, and shows the frequency allocations and their historic use across the spectrum. (full resolution image is here) Chart of Electromagnetic Spectrum … More Vintage Chart of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and Nikola Tesla’s Historic Invention
Photograph courtesy of NASA / ESA/ Reuters Today, July 4, NASA scientists will begin listening for a radio signal, letting them know the Juno Probe has begun orbiting around Jupiter. They are studying activity at its poles to find out how the auroras respond to changes in the solar wind. According to the European Space … More NASA’S Juno Mission and Nikola Tesla’s Discovery in Colorado Springs
This is the sound of light signals from stars, transposed into the range of hearing. A technique known as ‘asteroseismology’ makes it possible for scientists to study the internal structure of stars, based on an interpretation of their frequency spectra. Nikola Tesla believed these light signals are created by the primordial cosmic energy he discovered … More Singing Stars
When Nikola Tesla applied acoustic principles in his experiments, the results were outstanding. It led to many of his inventions including the Tesla Coil, which forms the basis for the circuits used in televisions and computers, and to wireless transmission, which became radio. It was these same principles of resonance, vibration, frequency, harmonics, and tuning … More Nikola Tesla and Music (Part 2)
Researchers at NASA have been conducting an experiment with a particle collector mounted on the outside of the International Space Station, in an effort to learn more about cosmic rays, the charged particles that fill the universe. They say that telescopes are an invaluable tool to measure photons, tiny particles of light both visible … More The Mystery of Cosmic Rays
Nikola Tesla imagined the world in musical terms, describing the universe as a ‘symphony of electrical vibrations’ that works on principles of resonance, with its ‘harmonies being played across a vast range of octaves’. He wished to explore the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum between the 60-hertz frequency of power lines … More Nikola Tesla and Music (part 1)
The annual Leonid meteor showers return this weekend (November 17-18, 2012), as the earth passes through dust trails which leave bright streaks as they are set on fire in the upper atmosphere. For a few seconds the dust trails reflect high-frequency radio signals, making it possible to hear the aetherial, high-frequency sounds of the Leonids … More Sound of Leonids
A new source of cosmic rays has been discovered near the centre of the milky way galaxy, with an energy density of accelerated ions about a thousand times greater than that of cosmic rays in the region of the solar system. Read more about cosmic rays here Save Save
