... to predict with remarkable accuracy the trajectories of spacecraft-so that, for example, the Viking orbiters were placed within 100 kilometers of its designated orbit; Venera 8 was placed precisely on the sunlit side of the equatorial terminator of Venus; and Voyager 1 was placed in exactly the correct entry corridor in the vicinity of Jupiter to be directed close to Saturn. No mysterious electrical or magnetic influences were encountered. Newtonian mechanics is adequate to predict, with great precision, for example, the exact moment when the Galilean satellites of Jupiter will eclipse each other."6 What Sagan has not told us is that is that on long space flights course corrections are made as needed and that the ...
442. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 3 (September 1980), by permission of author and publisher. The atmosphere and axial rotation of Venus present various problems. The usual assumption that planetary and satellite bodies must have lost their volatile constituents in function of their mass and distance from the primary appears to be basically sound and is satisfied by the planets at least up to Saturn and the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. Venus alone is out of step. Not only has it a more massive atmosphere than its own mass and position in the solar system would seem to warrant, but the rare gas abundances in that atmosphere and the ratios of radiogenic to non-radiogenic isotopes of argon in particular [1 ] appear to indicate ...

... . In discussing the axial inclination, the author writes, "The most extraordinary thing about Uranus is the fact that the pole of the ecliptic plane is 98 degrees. Uranus and Venus are the only two planets with retrograde rotation. The rotation period of Uranus .. .is apparently normal, being very similar to that of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, all of which have their axes of rotation nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic, and it is very difficult to understand why the direction and not the rate of rotation is anomalous. The only explanation that has been suggested is that, at the very end of the accretionary phase of the formation of the planets, a chance ...
446. A Reading of the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Pensee]
... the dead and was himself universally acclaimed king of the living. Every living pharaoh considered his dead father mystically to be Osiris and himself to be Horus; thus the link between planetary history and pharaonic unification of Egypt was secured. Velikovsky has laid down the main lines of his interpretation of this myth. He has identified Osiris as the planet Saturn, the Greek Cronos, and Horus as the planet Jupiter, the Greek Zeus. Saturn was fragmented by some kind of collision with Jupiter, and those fragmentary bodies which it did not reabsorb into itself caused disturbances through the rest of the solar system, both immediately and long after. The immediate disturbance affecting the earth was the deluge ...
447. The Scars of Mars - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... of vectors were picked up from the explosion force. The exploding force would accelerate some fragments, retard others, disperse yet others in sideward motions. But, also, if the fragments nearly hit Mars, yet just missed, the gravity of Mars would have acted on these fragments as a booster precisely as the massive gravities of Jupiter and Saturn acted on some of the spacecraft. Thus there are five factors, at least, to consider in the acquired orbits of the current asteroids, which are: 1. The motion of Astra. 2. The direction of, and the level of, energy imparted by the explosion . 3. The booster effect of the asteroids, ...

... ) of comet origin on or near the surface of Jupiter.(4 ) Hills has recently suggested that the three outermost planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, were displaced into their present orbits by encounters with other planets:(5 ) this is a consequence of his analysis of the solar nebula, which indicates that Jupiter and Saturn were initially the outermost planets to form in the nebula. It was theorized by Yamamoto, and later expanded by Lyttleton, that Pluto was an escaped satellite of Neptune.(6 ) When it was found that Mercury is not fixed with one and the same face toward the sun, Gold concluded that the planet cannot have been in ...
449. Neptune's Magnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... (July 1988) Home | Issue Contents Neptune's Magnetic Field Charles Ginenthal In his interesting article, "The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field" (C &AH, IX:2 ), Donald Patten compares the spin rates of three pairs of adjacent planets: (1 ) Earth and Mars, (2 ) Jupiter and Saturn, (3 ) Uranus and Neptune. Each of the pairs has a very similar spin rate. Based on his theory of how magnetic fields are produced, Patten maintains that Neptune's magnetic field will be found to have a strength of 2.5 to 2.9 gauss, i.e . it will have the second largest ...

... mathematics. Data are interpreted using mathematics which are 100 years old and based on certainty, whereas biologists, who recognise that they are dealing with uncertainty all the time, have a modern approach to statistics. A growing number of physicists are also beginning to query the work of astronomers and their assumption of the big bang theory. ASTRONOMY Surprising Saturn (New Scientist, 21.8 .04, p. 5; 10.7 .04, p. 10) The Cassini spacecraft has discovered 2 new moons orbiting Saturn, surprising astronomers yet again because they are so small that they should have been destroyed long ago by collisions with comets. More surprises resulted from observations of ...
