... hand of the lightning is voided of the King. The King travels the air and traverses the earth, he kisses the Nt- crown, (even he) whom the god cast forth (b ). Those who are in the firmament (? ) open their arms to him, the King stands on the eastern side of the celestial vault, there is brought to him a way of ascent to the sky (c ), and it is he who performs the errand of the storm." The following footnotes are based on Faulkner's: a)who makes the heart leap with fright as does a blinding flash (b )as a lightning flash (c ) ...
... our solar system generally and the earth in particular. Exactly what distinction should be drawn between a comet and a meteor is not too simple. For instance, was the body seen in Rome on December 24, 1924, a big meteor or was it a comet? The only tentative definition I can offer is that a comet is a celestial body of size seen by observers in the heavens, and that a meteor is a portion of the drift of a comet which only becomes visible when it penetrates our atmosphere. On the other hand, a passing comet can, and I suggest not infrequently does, penetrate our atmosphere. Astronomers are extremely hazy about the composition of a ...
... from a gun, until gravity at length supervenes. Records exist of certain comets and their vagaries which should be mentioned to avoid any possible misunderstanding. They confirm in every particular the importance in the solar system of these bodies and their role as planet makers and breakers. What are known as twin or tandem comets are of considerable interest in celestial phenomena, like the famous 1880 twin comet. This comet was of remarkable size and brightness, passed very near to the solar envelope at perihelion and became correspondingly exhausted and faint afterwards. Like the 1882 (September) comet, it divided or broke into two and became a twin comet, and it may be here that two heavenly ...
554. Are the Moon's Scars Only 3000 Years Old? [Journals] [Pensee]
... his first steps on the lunar landscape. It is an amazing achievement of man's technological genius, and with it the first stage of the Space Age (19571969) will be concluded. These 12 years have been unkind to many accredited scientific theories of the solar system. Some of the most fundamental concepts are being summoned for revision. In celestial mechanics, all new evidence has conjured against the concept- basic in science until very recently- that gravitation and inertia are the only forces in action in the celestial sphere. The new discoveries are the interplanetary magnetic fields centered on the sun and rotating with it; the solar plasma; the terrestrial magnetosphere that caused the moon to rock when entering ...
555. Our Rock Who Art in Heaven [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... stories in the Bible with stories in mythology with current information/speculation about comets, meteor showers, and impact events Mythology isn't about precession or morality, and the Bible isn't a history book. In this iconoclastic work, Ms. Brook explores the Bible as mythology - as a history, not of ordinary human events, but of extraordinary celestial events for which astronomers now have plenty of evidence. That evidence testifies to the arrival of a giant comet in our inner solar system, perhaps as early as 20,000 years ago. As the trapped comet collided with our planet's nearby neighbours and its own offspring, fireballs exploded overhead and meteorites rained repeatedly over the Earth. The ...
556. Chapter XII. The Stars -- their Risings and Settings [Books]
... this movement, the position of the sun among the stars at the solstices and equinoxes changes also. In reference to the sun's path we considered what are called the ecliptic and the equatorial co-ordinates. The ecliptic defines the plane in which the earth moves round the sun, and 90 from that plane we have the pole of the heavens; celestial latitude we found reckoned from the plane of the ecliptic north and south up to the pole of the heavens, and celestial longitude was reckoned along the plane of the ecliptic from the first point of Aries. We had also declination reckoned from the equator of the earth prolonged to the stars, and right ascension reckoned along the equator from ...
557. BOOK REVIEWS [Journals] [Aeon]
... Matter is certainly not mainstream. It is a rather heavy and concentrated volume, even for the knowledgeable reader, as the book's 400-odd pages present an intricately argumentative tapestry not designed for the practiced reader to easily wend through its far-flung and wide-ranging subject matter, despite its being otherwise reasonably well organized. The author, whose bailiwick is as a celestial mechanician, having done a stint at the U.S . Naval Observatory as director of the Celestial Mechanics Branch of the Nautical Almanac Office, surprisingly steps outside of the usually safe harbors of conventional wisdom and into the turbulent paradigms of uncharted breakers. In this contentious challenge to the purveyors of received opinion Van Flandern joins other recent maverick ...
558. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... said of Kugler's treatment of the parallel passage, except that it is clear by now that he will take one reading, while catastrophists (and the ancient Greeks) will take another. Kugler, of course, identifies the "new nature" as the rebirth of Spring, and calls the position of the stars as evidence that the "celestial fire" merely signifies the "truly fiery heat during the day" of Ethiopia's hot season, which begins at the end of the period of the narrative. The Fall of Phaethon (Roman Sarcophagus: bas-relief) (In dealing with the parallel passage, Kugler indulges in one of his rare moments of dry wit: noting that the ...
559. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... study of mythology is something to beware of: that Velikovsky himself was guilty of this there is no doubt, as "Velikovsky Mythistoricus", an article by James Fitton in CHIRON I:182, 1974, 29-36 (kindly brought to my attention by C. Leroy Ellenberger) ably demonstrates. 3. DSP says that Hathor was the celestial cow. What point this is intended to make I am not sure, as I never denied it. Hathor may well have come to be associated with Venus - and hence to have become the celestial cow - but the cow/love goddess combination nevertheless still links Hathor with other fertility goddesses. 4. DSP interprets the serpent/ ...

... plasma phenomena. Page 21: Prelude to Creation Dwardu Cardona An investigation of the sustained columnar plasma ejection which formed the proto-Saturnian polar axis, and the dynamic fluctuations it underwent due to the instabilities it self-generated on entry into the Solar System just prior to proto-Saturn's unforgettable flare-up. Page 55: Ladder to Heaven Ev Cochrane A detailed study of the celestial ladder recorded in the mytho-historical record and its relationship to the columnar plasma effluvium emanating from Earth's archaic sun, which is then compared with corresponding phenomena as recreated in the laboratory. Page 77: The Cosmic Double Helix Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs In which the mythic motif of the double helix, exemplified in the Caduceus, is explored in ...
