... be a surprise if the issue at stake was now to be obscured by the smoke and sparks emerging from this particular Stove. At the heart of the matter is the astronomy. Traditionally, the Earth science and historical communities have supposed that affairs on Earth take place on a detached and solitary ball. On this view the Solar System has ... the fundamental thesis was that the Earth has encountered extra-terrestrial objects with catastrophic effects in historical times. These books sold well, but were greeted with ridicule and contempt by most astronomers, geologists, archeologists, and historians. An account of the theory and its early reception can be found in an article of mine "Velikovsky in Collision" in ...
482. Plenitude of New Worlds Challenges Skills of Planetary Modelers [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Plenitude of New Worlds Challenges Skills of Planetary Modelers 13 Feb 1997. Seattle, WA- About two years ago, astrophysicist Douglas Lin recalls, speaker after speaker at an astronomy meeting in Hawaii deplored the lack of convincing evidence for new planets outside of our solar system. Lin then arose to state that making planets is incredibly easy. Researchers ... , during "Old Worlds and New Worlds," a special two-day seminar at the AAAS meeting in Seattle. Lin launched his recent modelling efforts in October 1995 when Swiss astronomers announced the first of the new batch of planets, called 51 Pegasi B. A team at UCSC's Lick Observatory, led by UCSC alumnus Geoffrey Marcy, rapidly confirmed ...

In this article, "New Evidence for the Eruptive Origin of Comets and Meteoritic Matter," Vsekhsvyatskii ... daylight hours. While comets tend to be unpredictable, especially so far as their brightness goes, the claims for Comet Kohoutek have been optimistic. Brian G. Marsden, astronomer and director of the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, told us: "There's every possibility that this could be the best comet of the century ...

485. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... heresy in science...took the form of practically overswaying so many dogmas and so many sciences. Practically any branch of science- whether it is geology, paleontology, astronomy, cosmology, celestial mechanics and natural sciences, the theory of evolution and the other sciences like ancient history, archeology- came into the same whirlpool and had to be ... Francisco and it boasted a whole 6,500 people; it was packed. For seven hours we debated, between me [on one end] and several opponents, astronomers and Babylonian scholars on the other end. And then there were four more symposiums that same year. [No symposium] was organized by [me], each ...

... of the doomsday fear, asking the reader at each stage whether we are considering randomly-evolved absurdities, or the coherent reflections of a traumatic experience remembered around the world. MESOAMERICAN ASTRONOMY Velikovsky reminded us that to the natives of Mexico the planet Venus bore a very special significance. No celestial body loomed more centrally in their meticulous observations of the sky ... of Venus by the Mexicans, Babylonians, Chinese and other cultures arose in direct response to Venus' cometary past. And for many centuries after the cometary disaster, the astronomers perceived closer approaches of Venus as a grave potential threat. If Velikovsky was correct, astronomy arose in response to UNPREDICTABLE planetary powers, but could only flower as a ...

... Earth-mass object predicted by USNO. C. Leroy Ellenberger St. Louis, MO Author's Note added in proof: My comments in KRONOS VIII:4 indicated that the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) would be able to spot Planet X. I also surmised that the search for Planet X was being manipulated for extra-scientific purposes. The IRAS project ... The following points are noteworthy: One, Vaughan seems not to appreciate the ramifications of the fact that the orbit he envisions for Planet X is not the orbit deduced by astronomers from the data. Quite simply, Vaughan's Planet X on its highly eccentric 3,500 year (or 2,800 year) orbit would not produce the same ...
488. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... due to the ambiguity of the stratigraphic record. The need for an accurate methodology of verifying the actual cause, extent and synchrony of Bronze Age destructions is therefore essential. Astronomy Research in the field of astronomical neo-catastrophism and impact cratering has quickened its pace since the early 1980s. An increasing number of astronomers have suggested that a series of cosmic ...

... , it is impossible not to admire the pioneering spirit that has led him to explore almost all aspects of the catastrophist scenario embodied in that term. The books range through astronomy, biology, geology, psychology, biography and eschatology and, of course, the electric cosmos. Most of them have been reviewed or otherwise acknowledged in SIS publications ... music, so below in the more mundane world of science: the main body of contemporary professional scientists for many years were impervious to the ideas of neocatastrophism but as new astronomical evidence demonstrated that the music of the spheres was far more discordant than had hitherto been recognised, a grudging recognition has been forthcoming. Over the past two dozen years ...

Nobody knows for sure, but a report from the 1976 General Assembly of the IAU indicates the possibility that the astronomers will reluctantly accept the figure of 1020g.
