We usually think about astronomy as viewing the Heavens from earth. Right ? But now with man made satellites circling the earth we can look at our own world and learn much about it. Ever thought about that ?
Scientist at the ESA (European Space Agency) have put a lot of thought into it. They have also made inroads
into some pretty amazing facts about our earth that most of us never even think about. There is a magnetic flow over the earth and it has been mapped.
If you can watch these Youtube Videos I think you'll find them fascinating. And the next to last video is about a small man who lived south of Miami, Florida in a home he called "Coral Castle". He was a bit of an eccentric and would work at night to avoid being watched. He published books and claimed he knew the secrets of the construction of the Pyramids of Egypt. He worked alone while cutting huge stone monoliths and moving them with the greatest of precision. Most conclude that he understood "Anti-Gravity".
I've visited the "Coral Castle" museum several times now. You have to behold it yourself to understand it.
But if this man named Ed Leedskilnin, who came from Latvia (dues south of Finland) understood ways to cancel the earth's magnetic pull, then he could have accomplished the feats you will see.
But first the video of the Lithospheric magnetic fields of earth. The Lithosphere is the outer crust of earth and it is divided into "Continental" and "Oceanic" areas and that into what is known as the Tectonic Plates. Think of the Lithosphere as the cooled crust (like cooled solid lava) that floats on the molten core of the earth.
This is brief and silent. But it shows some interesting spikes
Lithospheric Magnetic Field of Earth
These magnetic fields give off frequencies that are detectable from space.
Earth as seen by it's Lithospheric Magnetic Fields (if you can't view Youtube)
The Tectonic Plates of earth.
Now suppose someone actually understood this science and could command it at will. Sound like the stuff of a Superman Comic Book ?
Here is the story of Ed Leedskalnin narrated by Leonard Nimoy (Spock of Star Trek) for "In Search Of".
Youtube Video: "Secrets of the Coral Castle".
A later video that tries to explain some of this. Many have tried to "Debunk" it....but the Coral Castle stands just the same.

This is the website for the Coral Castle Museum, so if you are in Florida you may want to drop by.

Interesting to realize that Ed Leedslalnin was so far ahead in his grasp of earth's magnetic
fields, and how he could harness it in order to build as he did. I think this will become clear to
any of us who visit the place.
But now that we can put telescopes in space and look at ourselves, we can begin to better see ourselves
as part of "space" instead of just thinking of earth as the platform we stand on to look into the Heavens.
