... , though, that the cut-off date for retrospective calculations should be June 15, 762. This "Great Eclipse" marks the point from which our current system of mathematical astronomy should commence. The date of June 15, 762 BCE is the only opportunity we have during this general time-period to link up the historical record with the astronomical one ... Great Eclipse." Although the notation "BCE" (Before the Common Era) is used with the title of this treatise, all dates mentioned are derived from the astronomical base date of 762. If any single date may seem to be "off" by a year or so from other related material on this subject, that is ...
292. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... VII:2 (1982), pp. 3-28 for a good start at explaining the dynamics. Ejection of core material from a Jovian planet, like many processes in astronomy, is an unsolved problem. However, the putative origin of Venus from the core of any Jovian planet is decidedly a secondary question. The fission process described by ... . Nevertheless, it is a book Velikovskians ought to welcome with open arms, even though it does not endorse all of Velikovsky's ideas. The authors are highly respectable professional astronomers, both working at the Scottish Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, and for years they have been developing an interest in the interaction of the Earth with fragments of cosmic debris ...

294. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and archaeologists, who still remain largely unaware of recent developments in catastrophism. Victor Clube and Bill Napier's Cosmic Serpent (1982), brilliant for the breakthroughs it made in astronomy, was marred by a weak control of ancient sources and some amateurish dabblings in chronology (soon forgotten by the authors). Likewise Rogue Asteroids and Doomsday Comets ( ... ) by astronomer Duncan Steel, whilst giving a highly readable account of impact dangers past and present, is unlikely to pique the interest of archaeologists with its laboured speculations on Stonehenge. Mike Baillie's Exodus to Arthur is a different matter. It is written by a dendrochronologist who works in archaeology (rather than an astronomer) and, further, ...

... for the Advancement of Science) and even of that second AAAS at Harvard (the Academy of American Arts and Sciences), member of the board of Scientific American and Astronomy Today and Science News and the Hayden Planetarium, author of more than half a dozen important astronomy books and the person who led the anti-Velikovsky crusade, a man without ... description, which renders what he says meaningless. He simply does not understand science. To get closer to the topic of Velikovsky, has Bauer forgotten that the majority of astronomers who jumped on the anti-Velikovsky bandwagon in 1950 did so without ever having read Velikovsky's book, as Bauer himself notes? (76) Is this a mere coincidence ( ...

ASTRONOMY A Mystery by any Other Name (New Scientist 7.2 .04. pp. 32-35) All the mysterious forces which physicists have had to invent to explain ... chaos. Tiny changes in what appear to be regular and ordered events eventually lead to unpredictable breakdown and huge changes. Newton's safe and clockwork solar system is no exception. Astronomers have known for some time that Pluto's orbit is chaotic', but now one team has taken into account the possible influence of Jupiter and Saturn; when they line ...
297. Thoth Vol IV, No. 2: Jan 31, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... structures inherent in the human species, the myth-makers weren't stupid. They were trying to make sense of their data just as we are trying to make sense of ours. Astronomy is an old endeavor. Despite changing theories and the expansion of awareness of the universe, the tradition of trying to explain that universe is continuous from present-day astronomers to ... astrologers to prehistorical myth-makers. Here's the catch: The data has changed. The data set of the myth-makers was not just smaller than the data set of fashionable theory, it is unrecognizable in comparison. Nothing in today's domain of planetary motions resembles the images recorded by the myth-makers. Their planets were up close, personal, and axially aligned ...

... about 3500 years ago, was that of Exodus. The catastrophe of the Exodus is described in detail in God's Fire and Ages in Chaos. I. We begin with astronomy and physics. We speak of calendars, reports of sky bodies in action, legends of the gods, sky-struck human behavior of the period. We say of the ... : "No available record of astronomical events from anywhere presents astral, planetary, or solar movements as unchanged or uniformly changing from before that time to afterwards."

... not only its style but also its catastrophist ideas. V. s scheme to make headway among geologists by presenting a "clean" book, without assistance from legend or astronomy, failed. Yet, today, after 27 years, his book can hardly be called controversial. It is advanced, not avant-garde. Still it is more complete ... that you do not need to introduce comets in order to prove that catastrophes had befallen earth. However, he allowed many implications to be drawn from geological data pointing to astronomical reorientation of the Earth. And in his conclusion, he made the point forcefully that "The earth repeatedly went through cataclysmic events on a global scale, that the ...
