... the connection between the heliacal rising and the solstice depended simply upon the latitude of the place. The further south, the earlier the coincidence occurred. Here we have an astronomical reason for the variation in the date of New Year's Day. There no doubt was a time when the Egyptian astronomer-priests imagined that, by the introduction of the 365-day ... , marking its commencement, as I have said, by the rising of one of the host of heaven, they had achieved finality. But, alas, the dream must soon have vanished. Even with this period of 365 days, the true length of the year had not been reached; and soon, whether by observations of the ...

... entirely resign the sacrificial act but offers a ram instead. Abraham is a native of a Mesopotamian city - -Ur or Harran- in a region with a developed science of astronomy and planetary deities. He is a pupil of the Sumerian astronomer Sem and is himself "an outstanding man skilled in astronomy."3 He is able to calculate ... leap years. He is able to predict catastrophe- e.g . the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He has connections with the builders of the Tower of Babel, an astronomical observatory. The ruler Nimrod is warned about him by the priest-astronomers (astrologers) who refer to him as an enemy of the planetary religion.4 He ...
386. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... first exploded' on the scientific world in 1979. Gallant deserves recall for having helped to establish the important interrelationships between the now sadly separate sciences of History, Archaeology, Astronomy, Mathematics, Geology and Biology in his truly interdisciplinary book of 1964 [4 ] . But opinions of the merits of this book have been as divided as opinions ... to the scientific literature and a better knowledge of English, fast becoming the world's language for scientific communication. One of the first people Gallant came across here was the Estonian astronomer, but then Irish-based, Ernst Julius pik (1893-1985), who had briefly discussed the "catastrophic effects of collisions with celestial bodies" in 1958 [49] ...

... easy to understand." But the pervasiveness of an irrational fear is not an explanation. I find it of interest that Fred Whipple, one of the deans of modern astronomy, did not find an easy explanation for the hysteria. "Why should comets- those graceful, sometimes majestic, creatures of the sky- frighten people? They move very ... ) into the twentieth century, with the arrival of Halley's Comet in 1910. "We may all die laughing when the comet [Halley] comes," the French astronomer Camille Flammarion was quoted as saying, with language that fed a widespread pre-existing apprehension of the fin du monde. In earlier times the extent of comet fear was deadly ...

... unit). Near the measuring limit the possible deviations grow immensely, often exceeding considerably the number measured. The famous => Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the Rosetta Stone of modern astronomy, plots stellar luminosities against surface temperatures, determined from the star's spectrum. Since the spectrum is often difficult to classify, placement of the star on the diagram is ... from the electrical difference between the cavity, which creates the star, and the surrounding medium of electrified space (see => space infra-charge). Translated into more common astronomical language, the luminosity of the star depends upon its galactic environment rather than upon the amount of material which it contains (see behind and to Technical Note B, ...
389. Early Historic Man -- Catastrophism and Calendars [Articles]
... So in one direction they were unable to measure the exact length of the year and on the other hand they were more acquainted than many people nowadays with higher mathematics and astronomy. Man, in my opinion, could perfectly- in prehistoric times when there was no writing even, and in early historic times when writing begins- he was ... a calendar which was different? It goes against good sense! In other words, the calendars that prehistoric and early historic man was measuring, were the reflection of the astronomical conditions of his time. If he used a calendar of 354 days, and that calendar was in use during several centuries without changes, if you can demonstrate to ...
