... The justification for the enormous efforts to build the monuments are not clearly understood; and the star charts appeared without significant evidence that the four cultures had any prior interest in astronomy. Megalithic Monuments The most famous megalithic (stone) circular structure is Stonehenge in Britain. Stonehenge has gone through a number of modifications over hundreds of years. The ... encounters earlier in time. This is an obvious argument, but without any substantiation, it is also a weak, bordering on meaningless, argument. Fortunately, an Australian astronomer, Dr. Duncan Steel, has gone a long way towards providing that substantiation. He has recently generated a paper aptly entitled Before the Stones: Stonehenge I as ...
512. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Aug 2003. Alan Butler: "The Megalithic Computer Disk". British researcher Alan Butler's passion is the study of early calendars,Bronze Age cultures, the beginnings of astronomy and astrology and Earth mysteries. Ten years ago, during a holiday on Crete, he happened upon the "Phaistos Disc" and began to decode it, finding ... appear to work. It has forced plasma physicists and the IEEE to hold separate meetings and to publish papers on plasma cosmology. With a very few notable exceptions, the astronomical community ignores the subject. The strongest support for plasma cosmology comes from the close correspondence between observations, supercomputer simulations and experiment. It does not require any new forces ...
513. The Titius-bode Law of Planetary Distances - its History and Theory [Journals] [Pensee]
... Titius-bode Law of Planetary Distances - its History and Theory M. M. Nieto (Pergamon Press, 1972),$11.00 Reviewed by Irving Michelson Review School astronomy teaches that planetary distances have been constant for billions of years, their values happening to be whatever they are as if by chance without rhyme or reason. Pensee readers ... not so sure of this; many favor one interdisciplinary thinker's heretic view that Venus is a newcomer among the planets. They have also seen that view scornfully rejected by some astronomers in a manner that gives science a bad name. So it is refreshing to pick up M. M. Nieto's book, reminding us how scientists of great imaginative ...

Berry: `Neptune revealed', Astronomy 17:12 (1989), pp. 22-34 ... each other [2 ]. But, even if the nine planets themselves are considered to have orbits which are `chaotic but nevertheless confined' (as the London University astronomer, Carl Murray, wrote in New Scientist in 1989), there is now abundant evidence that other cosmic bodies can cross these orbits, thus potentially interfering with the ...
515. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... another pentagram rotated 2.4 degrees. The pentagram was the secret symbol of the Pythagoreans, and provides a basis for linking Egyptian, Greek, and Babylonian mythology and astronomy. Conjunctions of other planets also define geometric figures, such as the Trigon of Great Conjunctions or Jupiter and Saturn (Figure 2). Figure 1 - Pentagramma Veneris ... producing the rotating triangle shown in Figure 2. Other resonances have probably existed in the past. Resonances frequently involve the above series, since small integers are favored. Ancient Astronomical Data Figure 6 shows a comparison of the orbital ratio of Venus and Earth with successive approximations to 0. The Fibonacci series is shown across the top. Horizontal dashed ...
516. The Velikovsky Centenary Conference, New York, 1995 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , as a debt of gratitude, not blind faith - acknowledging paternity, priority and respect. He noted that most of the scientific evidence of the last 40 years in astronomy, archaeology, geology and ancient history favours some sort of catastrophism - the realm Velikovsky made his own'. He proposed as a virtual law that all history is ... rocks on Nakhla, Egypt, at least one of them coming almost certainly from Mars! To date, ten Martian meteorites have been identified, five being observed falls. Astronomers are unclear how the rocks escaped from Mars but are now sure that they did. This recognition has been called one of the most important findings of the space age ...
517. Thoth Vol I, No. 15: June 7, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... all of the astronomical hieroglyphs for "the comet" are _simultaneously_ attached to Venus and to the revered great goddess, who _is_ Venus in the first astronomies. To apply common-sense rules of logic, one should start with the obvious: 1) the symbols cited above are the acknowledged, most frequently- employed hieroglyphs for ... of various laws of physics and hence is untenable. Nevertheless, a breed of Velikovsky disciples emerged, similar to alien-contact enthusiasts, and they proved to be the bane of astronomers, with occasional resurrections occurring even today." Astronomer Duncan Steel, Rogue Asteroids and the Doomsday Comet "The existence of a pervasive paradigm is one of the worst ...

So how convenient for astronomers that one star is evolving so rapidly they can ... an ice dam holding back a huge ice age lake.

INFECTIONS FROM COMETS Astronomer Fred Hoyle notes that pandernics and plagues have generally appeared very suddenly and unexpectedly, sweeping the globe with hard-to-explain swiftness. Noting in passing that comets have always been considered ...

... be redone and the major actors tracked in the sky. I take this to mean, not as the English astronomer Bentley said in his classic work of 1825 on Indian astronomy, a first-time invention, but a clearing of the fulginaceous chaos of the skies following the worst of the cometary-Venus encounters. The Moon could be well observed again, ... she crossed orbits with the planet Mars, a mighty battle of the gods ensued which their human champions emulated. She stimulated new cycles of fear and new prodigies of careful astronomical observations to warn of her coming. Nor did her effects cease, for the Earth and Moon are scarred by flood, fire, quakes, and biosphere disruption that ...
