... to Critics", which appeared in KRONOS XI:2 , pages 3-l8.) * * * In our "Analysis" paper in KRONOS II:2 (November, 1976), Raymond C. Vaughan and I discussed the traditional arcus visionis - the angle of the Sun below the horizon - that is needed in order to permit Venus to be visible on the horizon. Michael Reade, in "Ninsianna and Ramesside Star Observations" (S .I .S . Review, forthcoming), complains that Vaughan and I did not mention the fact that Venus can sometimes be seen in the daytime, when the Sun is not below the horizon at all. Reade sees ...
122. Is Venus' Heat Decreasing? [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents Is Venus' Heat Decreasing?Immanuel Velikovsky Not quite six years ago, on a summer day in 1966, 1 had an unannounced visit by two young men, in their teens. They brought me the news that I was selected the first honorary member of the Celestial Observer Society, composed of high school and college amateur astronomer-observers of New York City, with quarters at the Brooklyn Technological Institute. The Society publishes a mimeographed monthly magazine. The two delegates made their way from Brooklyn to Princeton, N.J ., on bicycles- a distance of ...
123. Computed Planetary Orbits and the Babylonian Observations of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1986 No 2 (Feb 1987) Home | Issue Contents Computed Planetary Orbits and the Babylonian Observations of Venus Eric W Crew The Babylonian inscribed tablets, sometimes described as the Ammizaduga or Ninsianna tablets, as those found in the ruins of Nineveh, record the disappearances and re-appearances of the planet Venus over a period of about 21 years. Computer programs were compiled to show the orbits of Earth and Venus in a simplified co-planar model. The times of inferior and superior conjunctions were obtained and the intervals between similar conjunctions (synodic periods) plotted against time. The computer orbit of Venus was modified until the calculated synodic periods corresponded closely to those ...
124. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... Lord is my light and my salvation" and in Ps.119 :105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Turning from darkness to flood waters now, on WIC p.82 V cites Ps.107: 25-6 as evidence' that at the time of the passage of the Venus Comet, tidal waves resulted in flood waters that climbed mountains and reached up to the heavens. I here quote Ps.107:21-31: "21. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. 22. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, ...
125. Celestial Mechanics of the Half-century Venus Interval [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1990 No 1 (June 1990) Home | Issue Contents Celestial Mechanics of the Half-century Venus Interval by Robert B. Driscoll Immanuel Velikovsky deduced two close approaches of Venus to Earth separated by an interval of 52 years (archives of pre-Columbian Mexico) or of 50 years (Jubilee year of the Israelites) [1 ]. Ragnar Forshufvud showed that the large stretched orbit of Velikovsky's Venus could have been shrunk and circularised gradually, over several centuries before and after its encounters with Earth, by the aerodynamic drag on its extended atmosphere caused by a temporary circumsolar disc of gas extending to 2 astronomical units [2 ]. Such a circularisation process ...
126. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... has an MS from Iowa State University, where he studied genetics and psychology. Summary The paper offers a brief summary of the Saturn theory - specifically, the idea that during the prehistoric period a colossal configuration of planets dominated the celestial landscape and left an indelible mark on primary belief systems of ancient man. Evidence is presented that the planet Venus only recently moved on a radically different orbit. The author also offers a serious of basic ground rules for establishing a science of mythology. The Saturn theory, in addition to presenting a comprehensive model of ancient myth, offers a radically different approach to understanding the recent history of the solar system [1 ]. It posits that the ...
127. Discussion on Wal Thornhill & Ev Cochrane's papers [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the barrel of a discharging plasma focus device discharging. Birkeland currents run from the central cylindrical conductor to the outer concentric cylindrical conductor and they space themselves equally so that it looks like radiant streamers. The streamers can rotate, giving various swastika and whirling effects. The streamers follow the field lines, which in the polar configuration curve away from Venus towards Saturn. So, the appearance of Venus from Earth as a radiant flower or 8-fold star will only work in the polar configuration, because the magnetic field has to stem radially outwards, symmetrically, which it wouldn't do if Venus was orbiting Saturn equatorially. The appearance from the Earth would be just like a flower, with the ...
128. The Nature of the Cytherean Atmosphere [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents The Nature of the Cytherean Atmosphere Albert W. Burgstahler Searching for Hydrocarbons on Venus Dr. Burgstahler is a professor of chemistry, University of Kansas (Lawrence). This paper is based on a presentation concerning the atmosphere of Venus given at the Velikovsky Symposium, Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon, August 16-18, 1972. Introduction Despite being completely covered by a thick envelope of slightly yellowish clouds, the planet Venus, because of its similarity to the Earth in size and mass and the amount of energy it absorbs from the Sun (Table ...
129. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis by Bob Johnson Summary The Maya were obsessed with cycles of time, but the sacred cycle' of 260 days has no known relationship to naturally occurring cycles of our era. By combining the welldocumented old year of 360 days and a hypothetical period of orbital revolution for Venus of 260 days into a new calendar round, a simple means of predicting the appearances of the planet is generated. Evidence for the assumption of a 360 day year and changes in the period of Venus are presented in support of the hypothesis. The Dresden Codex appears to be a late attempt to reconcile this simple predictor mechanism with the ...
130. The Celestial Ship of North Vol II [Books]
... is satisfied with Astronomical computations and prophecies based on unerring mathematical laws. Ancient Wisdom added to the cold shell of astronomy the vivifying elements of its Soul and Spirit, Astrology."2 When we penetrate the mists of the past, we find Astrology as a Wisdom Religion, the teachers of which were believed to have descended from the planet Venus, under the direction of those who were known in this ancient religion as Lords of the Flame." This seems somewhat misty or cloud-wrapped, but those who love the mythical or mystic and are willing to search and research, until the great wonders of heaven and earth unfold to them in marvelous and almost inconceivable splendor, will find ...
