Although he continued to receive his salary for ... His opponents were not always so canny or so gracious. The Minneapolis Sunday Tribune (Feb. 12) gave prominence to a letter by two University of Minnesota scientists, astronomer William Luyton and aeronautical engineer Jean Picard, protesting the paper's reprint of "The Day the Sun Stood Still." Larrabee's article was "a mixture of divination, ...

Fuzzy lights Science Frontiers No.86, March-April 1993 Fuzzy rapidly moving lights in the sky are frequently observed by amateur astronomers and are as yet not satisfactorily explained. They may be related to the small icy comets postulated by Frank to bring water continually to Earth. Lunar volcanicity The Times ...
263. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... retrojecting the Egyptian calendar and the Julian calendar and coming up with equations between those two calendars. That is a purely computational or arithmetical process. It does not yet involve astronomy at all. Astronomy comes in when you try to find out the Julian date on which the heliacal rising of Sirius would have occurred. That is the morning when ... that there was a heliacal rising of Sirius on such and such a date in year 7 of Sesostris III, and efforts have been made throughout the twentieth century to determine astronomically when Sirius would have risen heliacally on that date. The target area is the nineteenth century B.C . This is arrived at simply by retrojecting the Egyptian calendar ...
... possibility of radio noise from Jupiter. However, in 1955, Burke and Franklin discovered radio noise from Jupiter. As F. Graham Smith states in his book on radio astronomy, `but for a fortunate accident, nothing might have been known of Jupiter's radio flash.16 Einstein was so impressed with the discovery that he offered to assist ... their present orbits; rnanv of them ridiculed Velikovsky for suggesting otherwise. However, bv 1960 W. H. McCrea, who at the time was President of the Roval Astronomical Society, published a theoretical argument that no planet could originally have formed from a solar nebula any closer to the Sun than the orbit of,Jupiter. 1 Later ...

... , in the third millennium B.C . Rather, the evidence of erosion points to a period well into the second or even the first millennium B.C . Astronomy, the Queen of the Sciences, supports unambiguously the historical fact that the 12th Dynasty of Egypt existed in the first and not the second millennium B.C . ... astronomical data related to Sirius, the Moon and the Earth's orbit correlate, corroborate, and converge on that fact. Radiocarbon dating, which has been called upon to buttress the established chronology, nevertheless consistently points to the fact that all dates taken from wood, charcoal, and short-lived plants will always render dates that are older or considerably older ...
266. Calendars [Journals] [Kronos]
... various ancient calendars, especially insofar as they have a bearing upon the work of Immanuel Velikovsky. These theses are generally consistent with what Velikovsky wrote in the Supplement, "Astronomy and Chronology", to Peoples of the Sea, although most of them are not explicitly stated either there or anywhere else in Velikovsky's writings. * * * The ... a scheduled leap year several thousand years from now.) The Julian calendar, with its greater simplicity, is often used in preference to the Gregorian calendar, especially where astronomical matters or ancient history are concerned. When Rome conquered Egypt, the Romans had recently adopted a Julian year of 365 1/4 days. But the Egyptians still ...
267. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . A century or two: Here I have tried to give Velikovsky the utmost benefit of the doubt. The late Professor W. M. Smart who was Professor of Astronomy at Glasgow University, showed in a very valuable book on celestial mechanics [11] that these perturbation series of which Dr Roy spoke could not be relied upon for ... and Michael Ovenden, who both, I believe, were at the University of Glasgow at the time [5 ]. There is also an important article by the Russian astronomer Molchanov [6 ]. There are reasons for believing that the solar system is close to a resonance, and all satellite systems that have been observed - for instance ...
... is highly probable that they would have encountered one of the Martian satellites and left grooves that generally run parallel to each other and leave craterlets all along these grooves. In Astronomy, for Jan. 1977, is just such evidence: " Viking has discovered another mystery in the most unexpected placeon one of the two small Martian moons. Mariner ... Nobel Wilford in Mars Beckons, (NY 1990), p. 72 tells us about Asaph Hall, the discoverer of the Martian moons. "Asaph Hall, an astronomer at the Naval Observatory in Washington, decided this was the year [1877] to renew the search [for possible Martian satellites]. He had available the observatory's ...

... , no. 144, Sept. -Oct. 2003, p. 1) Halton Arp ran foul of the establishment when he questioned the orthodox interpretation of redshift in astronomy. In 1971 NASA produced a photograph of a luminous bridge which connected a galaxy with a quasar with a different redshift, which orthodoxy says means they are separated by ... p. 24; 31.5 .03. p. 22; 6.12.03. p. 10) Among observations which caused the usual consternation among astronomers and cosmologists during 2003 were the following: a dying star suddenly evolved into a giant, 100 times the size of the Sun, in only two years; something ...

... Chapter I The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn WHEN we inquire among which early peoples we are likely to find the first cultivation of astronomy, whatever the form it may have taken, we learn that it is generally agreed by archaeologists that the first civilisations which have so far been traced were those in the Nile Valley and in ... , for there monuments exist more ancient than any of the inscribed records, monuments indicating a more or less settled civilisation; a knowledge of astronomy, and temples erected on astronomical principles for the purposes of worship, the astronomers being called "the mystery teachers of Heaven."
