It was natural to offer, ... entirely by chance, yet the discovery appeared of such importance that it was immediately reported to the scientific world in a dramatic manner. The spring 1955 semiannual meeting of the Astronomical Society met in Princeton. A very long list of papers was scheduled.

He presented ... According to Seneca the Great Bear had been the polar constellation. After a cosmic upheaval shifted the sky, a star of the Little Bear became the polar star.

... may swing back (62) to the 1920s and 1930s when a cosmic origin of many clay deposits on the Earth was being discussed in both geology (63) and astronomy.

... All of these will have whetted the appetites of his admirers, who have long been waiting for these books to appear, and perhaps the most important of them is "Astronomy and Chronology" (IVR IV, and now in print as a supplement to Peoples of the Sea), his detailed analysis of the weaknesses of the "astronomical ... basis of the conventional Egyptian chronology. This crucial paper surely is the key which could open the way to a wider acceptance of his historical reconstruction, and one wishes that it could have had a wider circulation from an early date (it was written in the 1950s), perhaps through one of the specialist historical publications. A topic which ...

Although the nature and regularities of the intervals leave little doubt that the series of numbers is for use in astronomical calculations, there are exceptions among the regularities that call attention to selected intervals.

... new space age. The continual expressions of surprise at the discoveries made by those scientists, as results poured in from spacecraft, are symptomatic of some fundamental errors in theoretical astronomy.
