... From: Aeon VI:1 (Feb 2001) Home | Issue Contents Extra-Solar Planets: An Update Dwardu Cardona In a previous article, I had reason to mention the discovery of an extra-solar planet that was believed to be streaming away from the double star system known as TMR-1, said to be located at 450 light-years from Earth. [1 ] Unlike other extra-solar planets reported to have been recently discovered, which were merely detected, this one was actually visible and photographed through the Hubble Space Telescope. Discovered by Susan Terebey, the planet was calculated to be "two to three times Jupiter's mass, flung off in a gravitational tug-of-war between the [two] stars. ...

3. The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... : Aeon I:5 (Sep 1988) Home | Issue Contents The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis Donald Patten and Samuel Windsor Review Two historical hypotheses for the development of the solar system were discussed in Part 1. These were the fiat creation hypothesis and the nebular hypothesis. Fiat creation has the planets emerging suddenly from the hand of God, while the nebular concept has the planets being extruded forth from the Sun with extreme slowness. Because there are no details offered in fiat creationism, it cannot be critiqued in any theoretically useful manner. The nebular hypothesis was discussed along with seven objections or contradictions, and it was concluded that, ...

5. "Deus Ex Machina" Redux and Planet X Update (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 3 (Summer 1984) Home | Issue Contents Forum "Deus Ex Machina" Redux and Planet X Update To the Editor of KRONOS: Ray Vaughan composed a very thoughtful rebuttal to my comments on his highly speculative Planet X scenario (KRONOS VIII:4 , pp. 9496). Nonetheless, despite his logic and intellectual dexterity, he succeeded in salvaging neither the plausibility nor the credibility of his speculation. The following points are noteworthy: One, Vaughan seems not to appreciate the ramifications of the fact that the orbit he envisions for Planet X is not the orbit deduced by astronomers from the data. Quite simply, Vaughan's Planet ...
6. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 4 (Summer 1979) Home | Issue Contents The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin (Stein and Day, New York, 1976; 384 pages, $12.95) Reviewed by Roger W. Wescott Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics Sitchin writes well. His book has good graphic illustrations. His scholarly sources - including the works of such orientalists as Henri Frankfort, Thorkild Jacobsen, and Samuel Kramer - are of high quality. And his contention that our solar system has undergone drastic changes in its planetary composition is refreshing to any reader willing to view natural history from a standpoint other than one of rigid uniformitarianism. Once these ...

However, since 1950, nearly every major idea advanced by Velikovsky has been re-advanced by a noted scientist. Some instances of this have already been discussed, but ...
8. Sagan's first problem: The ejection of Venus by Jupiter (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... Ancient observations Sagan states, "Velikovsky's hypothesis begins with an event that has never been observed by astronomers and that is inconsistent with much that we know about planetary and cometary physics, namely the ejection of an object of planetary dimensions from Jupiter." 1 Although modern astronomers have not observed such an event ancient man reports the birth of the planet Venus. Evan Hadingham, in fact, informs us that the ancient Mexicans give the precise number of days in the past when Venus was born. 2 Velikovsky tells us, "Ancient Mexican records give the order of the occurrences. The Sun was attacked by Quetzal-cohuatl; after the disappearance of this serpent shaped heavenly body, the sun ...
9. Indra and Brhaspati (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... "JUPITER" Ashton misinterprets the entry under "Jupiter" in Bhargava's Standard Illustrated Dictionary of the English Language (Anglo-Hindi Edition), compiled and edited by (the late) Prof. R. C. Pathak.(2 ) The latter does not assert that a single Hindi word or concept- Brhaspati- means both Indra and the planet Jupiter. Pathak writes: "JUPITER . . . n. the king of gods, the largest of the planets." This is of course entirely correct: The one word "Jupiter" has the two different meanings in English. In Hindi (and in Sanskrit as well) these two meanings require two entirely unrelated, different ...
10. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents Book Review The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane 2001, AEON Press, 601 Hayward, Ames, IO 50014, USA Jill Abery Four years ago I had the pleasure of reviewing Ev Cochrane's first book in this series, about the planet Mars. Now he has begun to tackle the planet Venus in like fashion but such is the complexity and magnitude of the mythological evidence that this book is described as only the first in a multi-volume series. As with Martian Metamorphoses (reviewed in C&CR 1998:1 ), ...
