... of very unlikely close encounters - during the last few millennia. The circumstances surrounding this development were such that, while it was certainly possible in principle that both history and astronomy could have seriously and fundamentally diverged from reality as a result of nineteenth century enthusiasm for uniformitarianism, this speculative appeal to a highly implausible physical hypothesis merely served to muddy ... it strikes and changes the state of public and private affairs'. Several centuries before this, a noted Greek source, relying on Egyptian knowledge, would speak of circulating astronomical bodies and of torrents from heaven occurring at long intervals which would bring a great disturbance and conflagration on Earth. Even further back in time, reaching to the very ...
... Fleming demonstrate that we would be acting purely on faith if we considered these theories as "proof' of uniformity before the 7th century BC. Fleming's article was titled Megalithic astronomy; a pre-historian's view". 29 Some of his comments follow: Thom's work is probably the best known of recent work concerning accurate measurements of megalithic sites. His ... comets"; however, Stromgren suggested that there is a large group of comets of this type, orbiting the Sun beyond the range of detection by present instruments.1 Astronomers admit that some comets cannot be determined as such on the basis of orbit alone. When Comet Arend-Rigaux was designated a comet, it was because it, on occasion ...
... .D ., attributes them to so primitive an idea as the sun-rising and sinking, despite the enormous reputation the Druids enjoyed among the Romans for their great knowledge of astronomy. Nevertheless, the symbol was widespread: "The spirals also, which are found on British coins, on Bronze Age work, and on prehistoric monuments and rocks ... principle is ever present. A moth is attracted to a candle, a woman attracts a man, a volcano attracts a meteor, and the sun attracts a comet. Astronomers allege that the two great outer planets, Saturn and Jupiter, attract comets into the solar system. Howe states that the attraction of Jupiter sometimes increases a comet's velocity ...
... the mentioned "joy stick." Both are irrelevant as far as cosmological terminology is concerned, but they lent the linguistic vehicle which was used to carry the ideas of astronomy and alchemy. It should be stated right now that "fire" is actually a great circle reaching from the North Pole of the celestial sphere to its South Pole ... Quern, the Grotte and the Sampo as individual myths cannot be traced back beyond the Middle Ages, they are derived in different ways from that great and durable patrimony of astronomical tradition, the Middle East. Now it is time to locate the origin of the image of the Mill, and further, what its alleged breakup and the coming ...
375. Krupp And Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... new salvos at this man's innovation. Now, E. C. Krupp, the Director of the Griffith Observatory- in one of the chapters of In Search of Ancient Astronomies- has given it a turn. Krupp's critique mirrors perfectly the general attitude of the establishment towards Velikovsky, where the normal virtues of tolerance, integrity, and competence ... had been decisively refuted in Velikovsky and Establishment Science.(6 ) Throughout Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky emphasised Venus' disturbed motion(7 ) and this was later given astronomical weight by the discovery that Venus rotated retrogradely.(8 ) Krupp does not mention this nor does he note the unaccountable discrepancy between Venus' retrograde axial period of ...

New ring for Jupiter New Scientist 27.11.93, p. 17 and 12.3 .94, pp. 16 and 17 An astronomer forecasts that Jupiter will pick up dust from the break up of Comet Shoemaker-Levy (due to impact with the planet later this year) and form a new ring. ...

... final volume shortly, and with it his answer to a problem which had vexed Egyptologists and historians alike for such a long time. [* This was the chapter "Astronomy and Chronology"- later published separately (See Reference No. 2)- which primarily deals with the invalidity of astronomical chronology £or structuring Egyptian history and the ... of the XIIth Dynasty and part of those of the XVIIIth Dynasty- including dates for Hatshepsut and Thutmose III- have asterisks added to them to show that they "are astronomically fixed".(7 ) But the problem continued to haunt scientists.

378. Thomas Gold and dust in craters [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 433 Eros on Feb. 12. Also disturbed were the memories of an experiment carried out more than three decades ago by a student of Thomas Gold, professor emeritus of astronomy at Cornell University. Images of small craters on 22-mile-long Eros, sent back to Earth by the NEAR spacecraft's camera, revealed a fine-grain material that has somehow found its ... to the bottom of the craters. The members of the NEAR imaging team, including the team's leader, Cornell astronomer Joseph Veverka, expressed puzzlement over the movement of the dust that had created flat, smooth floors in craters. There is, they said, some unknown mechanism that moves the dust around so that it slides down the craters ...
