In the year + 238, or four hundred and seventy-five years after the Canopus Decree ( -238), Censorinus, a Roman author, wrote: "The Egyptians, in forming their great year, do not take the moon into consideration; the Greeks call it [this great year] cynic, the Latins call it canicularis, because it begins at the rising of the Dog Star on the first day of the month which is called by the Egyptians Thot .. .

... with the simple computation that a quarter of a day each year accumulates to a full year in 1461 years of 365 days. In the year + 238, or 475 years after the Canopus Decree ( -238), Censorinus, a Roman author, wrote: "The Egyptians, in forming their great year, do not take the moon into consideration; the Greeks call it [this great year] cynic, the Latins call it canicularis, because it begins at the rising of the Dog Star on the first day of the month which is called by the Egyptians Thot . . .

553. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the Ancient East for many centuries. This date having been derived from actualistic calculations, it cannot be accepted within the frame of Reconstructed History: at least for the present it is completely impossible to calculate solar or lunar eclipses for a period before the repeated calendar changes- following changes in the movements of the earth and/or the moon- during the 8th and 7th centuries. The same, of course, is true for the recalculation of Egyptian years into actualistic years beyond the period when earth and moon finally came to their presently held movements. (Concerning eclipses the situation during and before the calendar changes is further complicated by the question whether, indeed, they were ...
554. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... .27). Apparently there was a lively debate between Frank and critics at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Among the questions put was one on why the comets had not been spotted (yet), to which Frank responded by suggesting a "dedicated survey for about six months". Another critic stated that impacts on the Moon should have been detected by the seismographs left there on Apollo missions, to which Frank suggested that the impacts might have generated sound waves of too high a frequency. The theory is in a little trouble, and doubtless we will hear yet more! Dark Warmth on Uranus source: The Guardian 3.9 .86 The dark side ...

... energies, orbital directions, velocities and vectors. I view Mars in a geographical perspective, that is, where it is and what are its surface features, or its orbital features. We both knew, for instance, that the Earth's orbit slowly precesses (clockwise) in 26,000 years due to certain uneven gravitational effects of the Moon and the Sun on the two different hemispheres (north and south) of the Earth, which are not of identical mass. This precession amounts to one degree every 72 years. Other planets also experience the same phenomenon, but at different rates. On one of our Friday night sessions in 1969, we were in Hatch's kitchen. ...

557. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... seated like a king before the people!" Then both began to speak before all Israel; Moses read out the text and Joshua expounded. There was no difference of opinion between them, and the words of the two matched like the pearls in a royal crown. But Moses' countenance shone like the sun, and Joshua's like the moon. While Joshua and all Israel still sat before Moses, a voice from heaven became audible and said, "Moses, thou hast now only four hours of life." Now Moses began to implore God anew: "O Lord of the world! If I must die only for my disciple's sake, consider that I am willing ...
558. Michelson And Meton [Journals] [Kronos]
... that they would also recognize "a civil year of 365 1/4 days". As we shall see, these simplifications do not provide an adequate basis for Michelson's inferences about how long it would take for various lunar calendars to fall out of step with the seasons. Thus he suggests that a lunar year based on "12 New Moons" would last about 354 days, and would fall short of the civil year by up to 11 1/4 days, with the result that "New Year day would slide around the entire cycle of seasons in roughly 32 years". This would be true if the mean lunar month were exactly 29 1/2 days, ...

... in a self-luminous cloud of glowing vapour." 7 Here, then, we have the comet: First, a more or less solid nucleus, on glowing. Second, vast masses of gas heated to a white heat and enveloping the nucleus, and constituting the luminous head, which was in one case fifty times as large as the moon. Third, solid materials, constituting the tail (possibly the nucleus also), which are ponderable, which reflect the sun's light, and are carried along under the influence of the nucleus of the comet. Fourth, possibly in the rear of all these, attenuated volumes of gas, prolonging the tail for great distances. What ...
