NASA claims hidden portals between Earth and Sun exist – setting up a mission to find them

A portal is a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown – an extraordinary opening in space or time that connects travelers to distant realms.

Thinking SCI-FI? Well, read on.

NASA-funded researcher and plasma physicist Jack Scudder of the University of Iowa claims he has figured out a way how to find them. “We call them X-points or electron diffusion regions,” he explains.

They’re places where the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted path leading from our own planet to the Sun’s atmosphere 93 million miles away.

Observations by NASA’s THEMIS spacecraft and Europe’s Cluster probes suggest that these magnetic portals open and close dozens of times each day. They’re typically located a few tens of thousands of kilometers from Earth where the geomagnetic field meets the onrushing solar wind. Most portals are small and short-lived; others are yawning, vast, and sustained. Tons of energetic particles can flow through the openings, heating Earth’s upper atmosphere, sparking geomagnetic storms, and igniting bright polar auroras.

NASA is planning a mission called “MMS,” short for Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, due to launch in 2014, to study the phenomenon. Bristling with energetic particle detectors and magnetic sensors, the four spacecraft of MMS will spread out in Earth’s magnetosphere and surround the portals to observe how they work.

Just one problem: Finding them. Magnetic portals are invisible, unstable, and elusive. They open and close without warning “and there are no signposts to guide us in,” notes Scudder.

Actually, there are signposts, and Scudder has found them.

Portals form via the process of magnetic reconnection. Mingling lines of magnetic force from the sun and Earth criss-cross and join to create the openings. “X-points” are where the criss-cross takes place. The sudden joining of magnetic fields can propel jets of charged particles from the X-point, creating an “electron diffusion region.”

To learn how to pinpoint these events, Scudder looked at data from a space probe that orbited Earth more than 10 years ago.

“In the late 1990s, NASA’s Polar spacecraft spent years in Earth’s magnetosphere,” explains Scudder, “and it encountered many X-points during its mission.”

Because Polar carried sensors similar to those of MMS, Scudder decided to see how an X-point looked to Polar. “Using Polar data, we have found five simple combinations of magnetic field and energetic particle measurements that tell us when we’ve come across an X-point or an electron diffusion region. A single spacecraft, properly instrumented, can make these measurements.”

This means that single member of the MMS constellation using the diagnostics can find a portal and alert other members of the constellation. Mission planners long thought that MMS might have to spend a year or so learning to find portals before it could study them. Scudder’s work short cuts the process, allowing MMS to get to work without delay.

It’s a shortcut worthy of the best portals of fiction, only this time the portals are real. And with the new “signposts” we know how to find them.

A not so new research claims that magnetic portals open all the time, linking Earth to the Sun 150 million km (93 million miles) away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again..

“It’s called a flux transfer event or ‘FTE,'” says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. “Ten years ago I was pretty sure they didn’t exist, but now the evidence is incontrovertible.”

Sibeck said 4 years ago that FTEs are not just common, but possibly twice as common as anyone had ever imagined.

  1. This is great stuff! Even more, what else is coming through these portals! Do they
    cross dimensions? If earth has warped time and space, to me that time is warped
    to curve around our globe placing earth in a time warp that goes on in a continuous
    circle. Hence history repeats continuously as is said: as it was in the biginning, so
    it be in the end. If you would know the future, you must first examine the past. Maybe
    ultimately, there is only now. Can you send me this story?

  3. This is a cover to still american taxpayers as they did with moonrace. Nobody has been in the moon. If look weel and investigate, behinde all this programs we find Zionists who keep the money in their pockets. That’s the way they get so rich and economically powerfull. Please investigate.

    1. You’re right… no one has been “in the moon”, but they have been “on the moon”… there are many documentaries to disprove the conspiracy theorists on this facts… and if you research the proofs with factual things here on earth that you can see and touch, they will prove correct… and why would “Zionists” be collecting money for a project like this!? This has nothing to do with them, but has everything to do with a civilization searching for life outside our own planet and possibilites to reach other universes… who knows, maybe we can use these portholes to rid our planet of all the trash we have!? Don’t make this about a political or religious belief, be sensible… it’s because of people like you that we have a divided world!! We need to leave behind races and religions and start focusing on the human race and people in general!!!

  4. This is a cover operation to nuke Planet X…even though they know this is no answer and that they will be punished for attempting such a thing.

    Admit it, elites…Planet X is in-coming and you are going to die.
