Orbital Relationships
“The
Hypersensitive Solar System”
Z. Dahlen Parker
A study of
possible effects
consequential to the movement of Earth
and it's neighbors
through the space plasma
environment.
On numerous occasions during
an eight year period of observation of the
celestial neighborhood of the earth,
from 1998 to 2006, while its neighbors
(Mars, Venus and the moon) passed in proximity
during their orbits they also
came into close
alignment at varying angles to the outbound solar flow
and
the heliospheric current system. At the time of these passages severe
terrestrial
weather events occurred. These
observations exposed a puzzle that may point
to potential influence to terrestrial
weather from orbital relationship.
This possibility deserves close evaluation and
thoughtful consideration
from the space-plasma
perspective.
During this period
·
Several eclipses occurred
·
A Venus transit occurred, absent since 1882 and due again in 2012.
·
The distance between us and our orbiting neighbor, Mars, was twice closed
to a distance not happening in 400 years.
·
This period also included a solar maximum and a minimum and for the
inhabitants of this planet it was a time of notable severe weather events.
Some of what we experienced
seemed routine but the exceptions hinted
that there may be
more to the routine than is commonly portrayed.
The exceptional events,
shown in the tables below, are what drew attention
away from common
explanations because of each storm’s timing with orbital relationships.
As further evaluation occurred the makings of
a pattern appeared.
Most events have been
explained by terrestrial mechanisms but the triggers appear unclear and limited
in scope of possibilities.
To better identify these
triggers and possibly enhance the prediction capabilities of
the earth sciences, we may find
the patterns observed over the last eight years
as just cause to take in a
larger chunk of the sky to better anticipate
natural threats created through
violent weather.
For the purpose of this
presentation, only a portion of the events
will be mentioned, mostly
storms of the western hemisphere.
Further investigation is
ongoing and will include a global perspective.
The type of events observed
were;
·
Hurricanes occurring in conjunction with repeated lunar orbital
relationships and cycle coincident.
·
Hurricanes / typhoons /cyclones of significant severity
or who's timing is curious to
other orbital relationship.
·
tornados occurring in unusual locations and at times of
orbital alignments, such as eclipses and transits.
All these circumstances may
reveal the reality of
periodic electrical interaction
between earth's atmosphere
and the plasma environment of space
and the influence of the
moon and our
neighboring planets in this process.
The first pattern,
associated with hurricanes, involves the movement of the moon
in the vicinity of conjunction
with the earth and sun. Both the new moon and the
full moon phase see allot of
hurricane activity. The least common time for
the occurrence of hurricanes is
around the first quarter, which is the earth’s p.m. side
of the moon’s orbit
(tornados seem to covet this period). The most severe hurricanes
favor the period just
before the full moon and through to just after the new moon .
When exceptions occur other orbital
relationships seem influential.
To me this equates to a
mystery of why hurricanes seem to favor
the last five-eights of the
lunar orbit.
Here are some details under
consideration.
·
A certain celestial aspect claims this region of the moon’s orbit in
the summer. During the summer the earth travels between the sun and the
galactic center. At night in the summer you see a brighter galactic plane
because you are looking towards the galactic center, the energy emitted from
there is considerable. In later summer (northern hemisphere) the galactic plane
lays in a ribbon from the southwest to the northeast.
How this applies is not yet
fully developed, it’s just a curious detail.
·
Another aspect of celestial considerations is the lunar cycles called
nodes. Typically, each year has an ascending node and a descending node as the
moon crosses the ecliptic. Twice in an 18.6 year precession cycle the nodes
lines up with the earth and sun. The relevance of this will be covered in
subsequent works and is mentioned here because in the fluctuation of storms
from year to year there seems to be a cycle of eight years, give or take a
little.
·
Another celestial aspect that occupies the full moon region is earth’s
plasma tail.. The effect on terrestrial weather by the
moon’s movement into and out of earth’s tail is yet to be determined in full so
this relationship is made as a note of another potentially influential aspect.
The tables below show the
timing of hurricanes with reference
to the lunar phases, full and
new moon.

On a number of occasions tornados
occurred with peculiar timing to orbital relationships.
From the standpoint of local
observers (
tornado that ripped through a
region in the Phillipines their surprise might be an
expected
emotion but imagine their thoughts
if they were to take into account the celestial activity
of the planet Venus passing in
transit of the sun a day prior. We might pass this timing off
as irrelevant but when more
detail is added to the story the probability of a correlation
increases a bit. One detail is the
existence of an electromagnetic tail that emanates from Venus
and comes in close proximity to
earth's plasma sphere. The tail, a Birkeland current,
was revealed
by the
of space it introduces some
interesting possibilities.
Another tornado with unusual
timing occurred in
with an eclipse whose totality
was viewed throughout much of the eastern hemisphere.
As the earth rotated the
western hemisphere towards the sun hours later,
here in the west, the early
afternoon tornado occurred in
For the sake of discussion,
Venus made a passage on this side of the sun 7 days later. At this point
the earth and moon had set
themselves between mars and Jupiter.. Strangely enough,
a large earthquake occurred
in
Many other examples exist
and may be developed further
if a pattern continues to
present itself.
During June of 2001 events
on mars overlapped the close approach of earth to a near
alignment on the 14th. Over the next
two weeks, on mars, a major dust storm developed
engulfing mars in a
planet wide dust storm for months to follow... On earth significant lighting
storms occurred. One notable
characteristic of an early phase in the development of the
Martian dust storm was two
adjacent circular areas on the earth facing side, around
the 27th of June. This happened
13 days after the near alignment and close approach
with earth. Now wouldn’t that be handy, hitch a ride on
the solar flow on the 14th and arrive
at mars 13days later?
Seriously though, might the earth have left an imprint of sorts
in the solar current that
showed up as a disturbance to mars’ environment once
it arrived at mars? In
subsequent days as many as six apparent focal points developed on Mars.
This is important because
mercury, earth, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn were all grouped
in a broad line to one side of
the sun during that same time. Very curious indeed, particularly
because one of the patterns seen in
terrestrial hurricanes involves what might amount
to influence from the
formation of a (theoretical) virtual conductor created by aligned planets
at right angles to the solar
current. At some point along the line created by these groupings
the line presents itself at
right angles to the solar flow, with proposed inductive consequences.
If these focal points on
mars are any indication of the planets, grouped on the same side
of the sun, we might have
further support for a pattern seen in the timing of some hurricanes.
The table below describes
some of these instances.

Heliospheric Current System
Based on what is expressed
by Hannes Alfven in his book, Cosmic Plasma (pg. 53)
Heliospheric Current Systems, we have a
glimpse of the long arms of the sun.
If we can infer potential
influence on the bodies that these lines intercept as
they sweep across the
solar system a picture of the hypersensitive solar system
may become less
obscure.
There seems to be the
potential for large scale influence, upon the bodies moving
within the sun’s plasma environment,
when they are sharing the same region
of a common current
line, to the extent that an effect is seen in terrestrial weather
or disturbances to rarified
atmospheres such as Mars’.
The aspects of the
heliospheric current system that seems practical to apply here are;
** The two types of field
lines that apparently also come in pairs, one above and one below the
equatorial plane,
Figure from Hannes Alfven's book Cosmic Plasma
Plasma-Universe site with
Heliospheric current sheet article
http://www.plasma-universe.com/index.php/Heliospheric_current_sheet
** the
sharp boundary layers of the current sheet referred to as magnetic
discontinuity
and measured at 1-10
proton Larmor radii [estimated at 10^6 meters or (621 miles)]..
From these points it is conceivable
that a planet could be straddling (encountering) this boundary layer of
magnetic discontinuity.. If that would have a
resultant effect on the current layer
or line then we might
be able to imply the next logical step.
From the Mars dust storm example
we would then detach ourselves from the limitation of
direct lines of sight
relationships drawn between bodies to favor an arc (ellipse) that
the current lines of the
heliospheric current system form.
From here we might see how
the grouping of the five planets to one side of the sun, along
the same portion of a
current line, may transmit their presence onto the environment
of mars resulting in
the five focal-points that churned up the Martian surface into
a planet wide
dust-storm.
Can this be inferred? I hope
the experts in this area of research consider the possibilities
and fill me in on all the
details, positive and negative...
At times when our
neighboring planets get into very close alignment to each other
and the solar current another
effect was observed, an attenuating effect. This has been observed
at the full moon
phase with storms taking a break for a couple of days and then,
after separation,
continuing on as before. It might be figuratively described as being in
the burble of a building on a
windy day. As the bodies separate, move out of line, here is
where i'm anticipating a
disruption to the plasma environments of the bodies, like the
breaking of a circuit. A glancing
passage is the norm so the pattern
should reflect these differences.
Summary
Of the times mentioned one
orbiting body seems to stand out as an influential mechanism
for severe weather
and other global events.. Our lunar neighbor, in its passage across
the various points where it is
either crossing in front of earth or entering near to
its plasma tail downstream,
gives us the first point of focus for an influential character,
outside terrestrial mechanisms, to
be considered further from the space plasma perspective..
Once developed, many
hurricanes appear to move opposite to the direction of
earths rotation, potentially under
direct influence of the moon’s station in earth’s vicinity.
Tornados and inland storms seem to move in the
same direction as the earth’s rotation.
The comparison of these
details may further support the lunar influence on many hurricanes.
We might just live in a
hypersensitive solar system.
Tables will be add as
material is assembled. Each will be a work in development and open to your
input in an effort to develop a global database reference.
