... ) as exemplified by Herbig-Haro objects, some of which "consist of highly linear chains or jets", and the accretion of material in a plasma Z-pinch, where "Most models of young stars and their immediate environments incorporate magnetic fields. Magnetic fields in the collapsing, rotating cloud core are advected with the accretion flow and form an hour glass shaped B field that is pinched inward by the forming disk." [See "The Birth of Stars: Herbig-Haro Jets, Accretion and Proto-Planetary Disks", John Bally and Jon Morse, in the book Science with the Hubble Space Telescope- II, Book Editors: P. Benvenuti, F. D. Macchetto, and E ...
132. The Valley of Colours [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the method of manufacture of Egyptian Blue' was discovered in Victorian times. It is shown on walls, coffins, mummy masks etc. and is also shown as a glaze on ushabtis, scarabs and beads etc. The Victorian scientist who managed to discover its secrets by analysing samples described it as Blue Frit' and it was made like glass from quartz sand, lime, alkali (probably natrun) and some form of natural carbonate of copper or that obtained from unwanted or broken copper items. The temperature to which it was subjected could change the shade of colour from pale to deep blue and into a lump for grinding,washing, made into a paste and then mixing ...
133. Akhetaten - Horizon of the Aten [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... insight into ancient Egyptian manufacture of bread and beer. The Bureau of Correspondence of Pharaoh has been clearly identified and (as discussed in other presentations over the weekend) has yielded the tablet archive helping to understand what was happening beyond the borders of Egypt. Other areas contained glazing works, artisan areas for producing jewellery and faience, pottery and glass. Some larger houses had separate pottery wheels and kilns. A sculptors' area was where some of the well-known busts of Nefertiti were found. The overall impression is what in modern terms would be called an industrial estate. Finally, some study has been carried out into the workmen's village. This is very like that at Deir el-Medina ...
134. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... moon has been constant throughout the past few million years. However, some recent studies have raised questions about this assumption. Scientists who make a complete study of the microcraters on a large Apollo 16 sample (60015)...were able to date the formation ages of single microcraters by studying the solar flare particle tracks preserved in the glass linings of each crater. The rock had been exposed on the lunar surface for about 80,000 years, but the data indicates that more microcraters had formed during the last 10,000 years than in the earlier stages of the rock's exposure. "Such a recent increase in microcrater formation would imply a sudden influx of dust size ...
135. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... given for the mention of T. G. Barnes' paper in a recent issue of SIS Review. In this column of even greater interest is the mention of a paper by E. Guerrier concerning Lake Bosumtwi in Ghana. The lake is thought to have been formed as the result of impact of an extraterrestrial body, its age from glass samples taken from the rim radiometrically dating it from 1.3 to 1.6 million years. Its diameter is some five miles and on chemical and geochronological grounds it has been correlated with the Ivory Coast Tektite field. What is most remarkable is that various West African peoples preserve ancient traditions attributing the lake to the fall of a ...

... Campbell: "Myths to Live by"). The scheme is, that the "Prince", the Ego, has to go out into the "wilderness" or the Woods, where he will have to solve riddles, or to fight against monsters in order to find, in the end, the "princess' in her glass palace or the fountain top, or hidden behind a thorn-hedge, where she must patiently await his coming, without any possibility of helping him along. In the same way our "female half" within us can do NOTHING to bring our male-half, our "rational brain", come to understanding on equal grounds with our"soul-half ...
137. The Merlin 'Vision' and the 6th Century 'Event' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evident in the narrow tree-rings for 536-545. The French archaeologist, Marie-Agnès Courty, gave a paper to the 1997 SIS Cambridge Conference about findings from Tell Leilan in northern Syria [5 ]. This was the first archaeological excavation initiated to look for evidence of scorched earth' due to a suspected extra-terrestrial fireball' bombardment. Her team found microscopic glass spherules typical of melted sand and rock caused by intense heat, possibly resulting from an asteroid impact or air-burst, and recommended further excavations. In practical terms these should be conducted in areas where local traditions, myths and legends tell of celestial battles', often between the gods'. One such site is St. Peter's Church in ...
138. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... " ( Nature 285, 309-11), J. O'Keefe postulates that a severe climatic event producing severe winters (yet leaving summers unaffected) at the end of the Eocene Period was caused by a ring system of tektite and other debris being formed around the Earth. The basis for his paper seems to be another by B.P . Glass et al. ( Lunar Planetary Science 10, 434-6, 1979) in which the extinction of Radiolaria at the end of the Eocene is correlated with a huge strewn field of tektites and microtektites - e.g . by analysis of ocean bed core samples. The field covers at least half the globe and includes N. America, ...

... then through the first heavy door into a tiny hall, then another heavy door, then an anteroom with a mail-cluttered table and clothes-closet, and finally into the front room. Elisheva, like her husband, had a strong character and great energy. She had large hands and a solid body, maintained a direct and friendly stare through thick glasses, and was perhaps of his age. She had mastered the arts of music and sculpture. Perhaps all the laborious functionalism of its occupants gave the rooms a lackluster belying the considerable value of their contents. Poor cooks have dazzling automated kitchens; disemployed people have smart interiors. Much later on, when he finally released his books to ...

... of Erment or Alexandria."[1 ] Some of the tombs had been "imperfectly rifled" because the excavators found in them bronze saucers and also small pots with a double handle at the top and "some good specimens of so-called pilgrim-bottles". One tomb-it was a child's-was intact: in it was found a necklace of porcelain and glass beads and a ring set with a small scarab. On the breastbone of the child was a small Cypriote vase, placed at the time of interment over the child's heart. Most of the coffins were painted. "The colours, which were sometimes very vivid," wrote Naville, "soon disappeared after having been exposed to the ...
