... topography of relative flatness or smoothness with generally insignificant differences in the overall height and depth of its topography. M.Y . Marov informs us in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics that, "Radar measurement of the near equatorial belt of Venus (within+ 10 degrees by latitude) .. .did not reveal significant elevations on ... on the Moon or Mars. "7 If Sagan is still unconvinced of the fact that Venus is not cratered just like the Moon, I refer him to that well-known astronomer, Carl Sagan, who wrote in his book Comet the following:'...a radar image of the surface of Venus obtained with the largest telescope on ...
302. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... the stars. I suggest that this be investigated. ' "The lecture was a discussion of my theory of 1950 in light of the new discoveries in the fields of astronomy, geology and archaeology'; I presented a considerable collection of recent findings that support the theory given in Worlds in Collision. It was natural to offer, at ... with a few marginal notes in pencil that can be easily erased. I admire your dramatic talent and also the art and the straightforwardness of Thackrey who has compelled the roaring astronomical lion to pull in to some extent to others, and which his royal tail without fully respecting the truth. I would be happy if you too, could enjoy ...
303. Thoth Vol I, No. 10: April 22, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... has hitherto been believed to be true. Nietzsche- SATURN: THE ANCIENT SUN GOD By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) Many threads of Greek and Roman astronomy appear to lead back to a priestly astronomy arising in Mesopotamia some time in the first millennium B.C . The Babylonians were apparently the first to develop systematic observations ... Golden Age, was also linked to Saturn. The Chinese mythical emperor Huang-ti, first in a great dynasty of kings and mythical founder of the Taoist religion, was identified astronomically as the planet Saturn. Even the Tahitians recall of the god Fetu-tea, the planet Saturn, that he "was the King." Many ancient nations commemorated the ...
304. Newton And Historical Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... motions which cause the Earth to be a particularly fit abode for man; thus he made the Earth central to the solar system, in spite of the Copernican revolution in astronomy. The fact that comets are prevented from interfering with the system proves that the Earth is central spiritually, if not materially. He did not assume that the protection ... promise of an unhindered development of the history of mankind to its final fulfillment in the Kingdom of Christ on Earth. Newton's studies of prophecy are an essential element in his astronomical thought, and it is a crime against sound scholarship to ignore them, as it has been done unanimously by all historians of science. Since Newton intended to reconcile ...
305. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... ] What is more, the Chinese, too, linked this conjunction of planets with the calendar, the beginning of time, and creation. A major tenet of Han astronomy was that the five planets, Sun, and Moon were in conjunction at a time zero before the cycles of Heaven, Earth, and Man were set in motion ... 1000, and scaled down further into more manageable time periods called yugas or ages. The beginning of the briefest of these cycles was geared to an event computed by the astronomers actually to have taken place in the sky. The event was a conjunction of all the planets in the constellation we call Aries at midnight of February 17 - 18 ...

RIVALS STONE CIRCLES BY Nigel Hawkes, SCIENCE Editor AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL GALLERY CATALOGS Comments.............Allan Beggs & Wal Thornhill ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY Comments.......................... ... can hardly be surprised to find that, in Mexico, the five universal glyphs of the comet are attached to the planet Venus! That a comet is the ONLY known astronomical reference for these symbols makes the point all the more emphatic. In terms of our larger thesis, it should not surprise us either that the planet Venus was, ...
307. Velikovsky and the Decline of Medieval Cosmology [Articles]
... business, and I now feel very strongly that here lies the origin of this subject called astrology which all of us find rather mysterious in the sense that we all guess astronomy somehow grew out of it, but we don't know what astrology was all about. But it begins to be clear now that astrology was actually the business of predicting ... attempt to give you some indication of the work that we have been doing, indeed I have been doing personally over a period of about ten years now on the purely astronomical front, which has now reached a stage which justified our writing this book and which I am sure you will recognise brings one in contact with many of the things ...
308. Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to do everything cosmic. In essence, Bruce's astronomical writings were not taken seriously in his lifetime; which is a shame, because they will form the basis of the astronomy of the next half-century for those who are alert enough to perceive the merit of his analysis. Bruce saw the processes of electrification in the cosmos as something that happened ... am already familiar with, but now to have faces alongside the names enriches our kinship. Charles Bruce and Scientific Circumvention In 1944, the late Charles Bruce wrote of many astronomical phenomena in a privately published monograph, A New Approach in Astrophysics and Cosmogony, a work which some of you will be familiar with. There he noted that many ...

... to distinguish three paths of the sun: the Anu path, the Enlil path, and the Ea path. These three paths created much difficulty for the writers on Babylonian astronomy, and many explanations were offered and as many rejected.15 The Anu, Enlil, and Ea paths of the planets across the sky appear to denote the successive ... -687, when the present world order was established, did the calendar become permanent. Some of the clay tablets of Nineveh found in the royal library of that city1 contain astronomical observations made during the period before the present order in the planetary system was established. One tablet fixes the day of the vernal equinox as the sixth of Nisan: ...
310. The Scientific Reception System [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the order of 10 to the 19th power volts [14]. The coincidence is only that, for even Menzel's arithmetic was faulty. The main point is that in astronomy and other sciences, natural and social, to make quantification a rigid condition for the admission of new theory, even in areas where qualification today rules, can promote ... . The discovery of discordant facts is cause for rejoicing, not consternation. If Velikovsky had adduced any real evidence that compelled a revision of the laws of celestial mechanics, astronomers would have accepted the facts, and the challenge, with delight. His supporters imagine that we are shaking in our shoes. This is partly true: we are ...
