... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 3 (Spring 1981) Home | Issue Contents Venus's Internal Heat: An Update C. Leroy Ellenberger The discussion of the thermal imbalance that may exist on Venus [KRONOS VI :2 (1981), pp. 23-24] was based on the paper by Tomasko et al. [J . Geophys. Res., Vol. 85, No. A13, pp. 8187-99, Dec. 30, 1980] which had been recommended by F. W. Taylor, one of the co-authors. That paper avoided giving credence to the presence of a significant internal heat flux on Venus by emphasizing the overlap between the ranges of ...
412. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents Letters/h1 The Ninsianna Tablets I refer to Michael Reade's letter on p. 66 of C&C Review 1996:1 . It is only an assumption that the Venus Tablet record is based on months of 30 days. We have an almost complete set of intercalary months for the Hammurabi Dynasty which fit very well with the calculated lunar months of the period. They seem to rule out a series of catastrophic events about 860 BC.Moreover, the data for Year 9 are no longer a problem. They tell us that a very large meteor, or perhaps a comet ...
413. Huitzilopochtli, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Huitzilopochtli The Greeks chose Athene, the goddess of the planet Venus, as their patron, but the people of Troy looked to Ares-Mars as their protector. A similar situation existed in ancient Mexico. Quetzal-cohuatl, known as the planet Venus, was the patron of the Toltecs. But the Aztecs, who later came to Mexico and supplanted the Toltecs, revered Huitzilopochtli (Vitchilupuchtli) as their protector-god.1 Sahagun says that Huitzilopochtli was "a great destroyer of towns and killer of people." The epithet "blood-stained stormer of walls" is familiar to us from the Iliad, where ...
414. Dynamic Evolution of a Collinear Planetary System [Journals] [Aeon]
... | Issue Contents Dynamic Evolution of a Collinear Planetary System Emilio Spedicato & Antonio Del Popolo Abstract Starting with Talbott and Cardona, some mythologists have been arguing that, during man's prehistoric period, the Solar System was configured radical different from the way it is at present. In this earlier configuration, according to these theorists, the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth were aligned in a collinear system, one "beneath" the other, with all of them sharing the same axis of rotation, even as they revolved around the Sun. At least according to Talbott, Jupiter was also a member of this alignment but, because it was "behind" Saturn, it ...

... planets_, moving on quite different courses than observed today, formerly disturbed the motions of the Earth and caused great destruction to ancient nations. These extraordinary events, Velikovsky claimed, are recorded in ancient chronicles, myths and rites around the world, sources that are simply incomprehensible in terms of celestial motions today. Velikovsky contended that the planet Venus, just a few thousand years ago, possessed a spectacular, comet-like "tail" , and its orbit intersected that of the Earth. .Though Velikovsky's interest in the subject began with a reading of biblical accounts of the Exodus period, the plagues of Egypt, and the spectacles of the wandering in the desert, what led to ...

... No. 7), p. 730; B. Kurten, op. cit., p. 130. 41. P. Wright, "Mammoth Clue to Prehistoric Mystery," The Times (London, March 2, 1974). SHORT-CIRCUITING A CIRCULARIZATION MODEL To the Editor of KRONOS: Eric Crew suggests that the orbit of Venus was circularized by the slow decline of electrostatic forces between Venus and the Sun (KRONOS X:2 , pp. 13-31). The hypothesis is offered as an alternative to my own hypothesis of circularization by aerodynamic drag (KRONOS VII:2 , pp. 3-28). Crew has developed a very interesting computer program. Unfortunately, ...

... 1955: "[ in the past] you have kindly answered me about the chances to determine rare gases in the atmosphere of the planets. Now I come with another request. " .. . on the basis of my theory .. . I would also like to know whether [there is] reason to assume that Jupiter and Venus, alike, have iron and sulphur in an ionized state." From a handwritten letter from Prof. Adams to Velikovsky, dated July 25, 1955: "Ionized iron and sulphur could not possibly be present in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Venus, because their spectra are atomic and would require very high temperatures for their production. ...
419. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... I am not as confident as Velikovsky in the computational precision of ancient astronomers." This is a loaded statement that is actually a two-edged sword. In his attempt to discredit Velikovsky's interpretation of past "aberrant calendrical conventions", Sagan brings himself into direct conflict with the megalithic interpretations of Thom and Hawkins, uniformitarian readings of the so-called "Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga", and runs head-on into Egyptological supporters of the so-called "Sothic period" --the very foundation stone of ancient history's chronological edifice. Sagan (p . 14): Sagan commits a non sequitur. After referring to Leach, "an expert on early time-reckoning," Sagan says the following: "In ancient cultures ...
420. Erratic Events in the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the case was a spiral, bringing Cosbod nearer to the Sun and increasing its velocity. The spiral turns became progressively closer together, and when the charge was zero the orbit was nearly circular. By selecting suitable initial values of velocity and charge, obtained by a reverse action program, the final orbit became the same as that of Venus, with its present orbital velocity. This appears to explain the origin of Venus, its high temperature and other observed characteristics. Figure 1. Simplified diagram of ejection of core material from Jupiter Ejection of a stream of charged material from the interior of Jupiter, showing the paths and velocities for a typical example, where the initial escape ...
