282. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... older), see Ref. 1. A more recent contribution to the discussion was written by Sherrerd.(2 ) The problem of orbit circularization does not concern catastrophist astronomy only. According to some theorists, several satellites of the large planets are in fact captured asteroids which succeeded, after being captured, in achieving approximately circular orbits. ... numerical calculations, using a theoretical model for the gas cloud. The effects of the gas on electric and magnetic fields in space are also discussed. Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient astronomical events requires that the orbit of Venus, originally elliptic like that of a comet of the Jovian family, became circular in a period of a few thousand years. ...

... evolution arena gets ever-more heated, indicating that, as in all other fields of human endeavour, belief systems come to overrule, not only objectivity, but common courtesy. ASTRONOMY Old Cheat (New Scientist, 17.7 .04, p. 15) The Greek astronomer Ptolemy wrote his Almagest in the 2nd century AD and in it ... shown his calculations of planetary orbits using observational data. New calculations, using Ptolemy's data, show that he fudged his data to come up with orbits he had already decided upon. Further, he had extensively plagiarised the earlier observational data made by Hipparchus. Early History in Doubt (The Times, 24.9 .04 and 30. ...

... had read the book. This "answer," at first circulated widely under a Harvard letterhead, then appeared in the popular press as the opinion of an authority on astronomy and history, and was later reported in Shapley's Science News Letter. It was at Harvard that Dr. Fred Whipple, succeeding Shapley as director of the observatory, ... a letter to a subsidiary of Velikovsky's publisher, threatening to break his relations as an author with that house unless Worlds in Collision was suppressed. It was at Harvard that astronomer Donald Menzel ridiculed Velikovsky, claiming his theories would require an impossible solar charge of 1019 volts. The sun, he said, couldn't have more than 1800 positive volts ...

286. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... especially those of Exodus, were really misunderstood natural phenomena. By this time the radio noises from Jupiter, as predicted by Velikovsky, had already been detected. Textbooks on astronomy, however, were still preaching a universe void of any forces other than gravitation. Entire galaxies, it had already been discovered, were even then colliding with one ... the case of the radio dispatches from Jupiter, some of them had actually been predicted by him. Evidence was discovered pointing to past shifts in the direction of the Earth's astronomical axis and the position of its geographical poles. The Earth's magnetosphere had been discovered. Spectral analysis had revealed the presence of hydrocarbons in cometary tails. The net negative ...

288. On Morrison: Some Further Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... Who Confront Velikovsky" Home | Issue Contents On Morrison: Some Further Remarks Ralph E. Juergens In November 1973, Dr. David Morrison, then of the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, submitted a paper titled "Astronomical Evidence For and Against Recent Planetary Catastrophism" to the journal Pensee. Morrison's paper was criticized by Pensee's editorial ... (now affiliated with KRONOS) and revised accordingly. After undergoing revision, the paper was presented at the symposium - "Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System" - held at McMaster University, June 1974. Additional criticism engendered a second revision in November 1974. The paper was published in the Cornell University Press volume - Scientists ...

"However, Patten & Co. pay scant attention to the testimony of other ancient peoples in myth and astronomical records. Their catastrophic model holds Mars to be responsible for all major catastrophes except the second half of the Flood catastrophe, interacting with the Earth in 52 to 54-year ...
