... the size of an average comet would impact the Earth once in 3 x 107 years - a very tiny probability indeed. This is as expected, when you consider that we are attempting to describe the odds that a ball, approximately the size of the Moon, would strike one of 30 objects stretched out over a 10 billion kilometer diameter circle. According to Sagan, the probability of collision increases proportionately as the square of the number of Earth radii between the two objects under consideration. In this case, we are no longer referring to the physical interaction as a "collision", but rather an "encounter". For example, consider the probability of an encounter between ...

... calculation, revealing that the megalithic architecture at Nabta Playa is a unified and detailed astrophysical map of truly astonishing accuracy, with no less than staggering implications. Written for the educated general reader, with technical appendices, the discovery of how to decipher the system of megalithic structures is reported with gripping clarity. Contents: Part I.

244. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... moons of Saturn? The only other possibilities I can think of is that, in the past, the ring system was not flat as it is today, or that the rings were only partial, like some of those that surround Uranus. When the shadow of Saturn would have fallen across the rings, they would have appeared as broken circles. These would not have been exactly crescent in shape, but they might have been represented as such at a later time when Saturn moved away from the northern sky. The blue-green color of Venus can be explained by a methane atmosphere which developed as the planet grew warmer. Dwardu Cardona replies: This issue was first raised by Milton ...
245. The Changing Orbit. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the equinoxes, or a large spin of the axis with consequent displacement of the seasons in relation to the perihelion (the point on the orbit closest to the sun). This precession or "preceding" of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes is as great as 50.2 o in a year, and the terrestrial axis describes a wide circle in the sky in a period estimated at about 26 000 years. Newton explained this phenomenon, known since the days of Hipparchus (120 BC), as produced by the attractive effect of the sun and the moon on the bulging part of the equator. But this explanation does not account for what in the first place caused the ...
246. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... SQRT(k )+ 1) (3 ) e = l (1+ SQRT(k )) / (k - 1) (4 ) where q1 >> q2, k =q1/q2, P is the Lagrange point of the electric field and L is the Sun-comet nucleus separation (Figure 2 ). The circle (diameter = c) called the circle of equal force (CEF) is where the acceleration on an ion towards the Sun is equal to that of the comet nucleus. It is easily shown that the vector sum of these forces always points towards the Lagrange point. The equation of the CEF, with q2 at (0 , ...
247. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of course, with a particularly visible spot, the gegenschein, at the anti-solar point, though Winter' does not mention this. Meanwhile, the Taurid orbit would also have been packed with dust, and would have appeared, it is claimed, as a band inclined to the ecliptic. These belts, it is supposed, are the circles' of the same' and the other' referred to in the cosmology of Timaeus as reported by Plato [70]. As astronomers with an interest in history, Clube and Napier must know that Timaeus was actually giving a perfectly intelligible description of the precursor of the Ptolemaic system. The circle of the same' is the primum ...
248. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... great ones of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries searched through classical authors of antiquity for their great discoveries. Did not Copernicus strike out the name of Aristarchus of Samos from the introduction to De Revolutionibus before he signed imprimatur on his work? Did not Tycho Brahe find the compromising theory of the Sun revolving around the Earth- but Mercury and Venus circling around the Sun- in Heracleides of Pontus, yet announce it as his own? Did not Galileo read of the equal velocity of heavy and light falling bodies in Lucretius; did not Newton read in Plutarch of the Moon removed from the Earth by fifty-six terrestrial radii and impelled by gravitation to circle around the Earth, the basic postulate ...
249. Comets & Disasters in the Dark Ages [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... appeared on two successive nights like those of the previous year. And on 3 May, that is the third Rogation Day, there was an eclipse of the sun at the ninth hour, and the stars were as clearly visible in the sky as at night. 841. On July 28 of the same year, a Thursday, three circles appeared in the sky in broad daylight, encircling one another so that they looked rather like a rainbow. The smallest enclosed the sun at its centre, and yet seemed more intense in colour than the others. The largest was in the west, with its rim appearing to touch the sun. The middle one was in the north ...
250. Ancient Greeks in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... lie north-west of Britain, just as Plutarch recounted. They also lie in the direction in which the sun sets in summer relative to Britain. "In those islands the sun is scarce hidden one full hour during the day for a space of about 30 days during the summer." [5 ] At, or near, the Arctic Circle where Iceland is situated, night lasts only 1 hour, with 23 hours of daylight, for about one month in summer. Knowledge of this phenomenon is compelling testimony to the accuracy of Plutarch's account. Since Plutarch is not known to have traveled anywhere beyond the lands adjoining the Mediterranean, it is difficult to understand how he could have ...
