... longitude of Venus, degrees per day (modern average = 1.60213 degrees per day) t = number of days interval between a last or a first visibility of Venus and the associated conjunction with the Sun q = angle between the ecliptic and the horizon at their point of intersection q' = angle between the ecliptic and a small circle which passes through the projected position of Venus on the ecliptic and which is parallel to the horizon Notes to accompany Figure 6: This diagram is only applicable to a northern hemisphere observer,lH in the first quadrant (0 < lH < 90 ) and Venus with northerly ecliptic latitude (b positive). Corresponding diagrams for other configurations ...
332. The Scientific Reception System [Books] [de Grazia books]
... invention is made, its predecessors can be unearthed. Sometimes the ideas may be shown to be in a causal sequence. At other times they are apparently aborted and unrelated. And occasionally they are independently invented in the same ideological epoch. (3 ) A work penetrates into the body of science by the machinery of publicity, through acquaintanceship circles, by accident, by unconscious exposure and the creation of frames of mind (subliminal stimulation). It enters also by parallel practical operations independently derived from the same sources or from the same, different and related sources. It joins science by creative misunderstanding' or by anticreative misunderstanding. ' (4 ) The rationalistic modes of presentation ...
333. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... moon. Io was known as a violently volcanic moon, but scientists have recently been surprised (as always) to find that most of its activity is confined to just a few areas. Earth has been found to have a quasi-moon', an asteroid which orbits the Sun with a corkscrew motion, which means that it appears to also circle the Earth every so often. It has been a quasi-moon since 1996 and will continue until 2006. Another object will become a quasi-moon in 500 years time and even a third quasi-moon is known. They may be chunks of debris from a lunar impact. ELECTROMAGNETISM Milky Way Immersed in Plasma (Scientific American, Jan. 2004, pp ...
334. Thoth Vol II, No. 20: Dec 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the best scholars have failed to notice the libraries of evidence bearing directly on the question. The "life" - the "heart" and "soul" - of the ancient sun god is a GODDESS. And not a goddess in the abstract, but in the precise form of a radiant star drawn in the center of a larger circle or sphere. You can see this for yourself - and abundantly so - in the birthplace of astronomy. The Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who gave "life" to the gods (and symbolically to the ruling king), was the planet Venus. Her star was not located in an ambiguous "sky", but precisely in the ...
335. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... great god's celestial dwelling. And, as we have seen, it was precisely this celestial dwelling which was commemorated by the Aten sign; thus it is significant to find that Egyptian hieroglyphs frequently depict the band of the Aten as formed by the body of a serpent. Moreover, while Ra was addressed as ami-khet-f, dweller in his fiery circle', he was also known as ami-hem-f, dweller in his fiery serpent'."(14) Ancient Aztec tradition has preserved a striking parallel to Ra's fiery enclosure. Xiuhcoatl, whose name means "turquoise serpent", was represented as a fiery dragon enclosing the Aztec sun god. Significantly, Xiuhcoatl was described as a " ...
336. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... the retina of the eye, first to understand and measure astigmatism and first to discover the phenomenon of light interference (the strongest argument in favor of the wave theory of light for which he was much derided), was also the first to read a few words in hieroglyphics the name Ptolemy in the Rosetta stone: that the name was circled in an oval (cartouche) was the first clue. The story of his efforts and successes and the tragic relations with Champollion makes an engrossing story. It appears that Young achieved much more in reading hieroglyphics than generally is credited to him. Rosetta Stone Jean Francois Champollion (1790-1832) at the age of 11 heard of the Rosetta ...
337. The Problem of the Frozen Mammoths [Journals] [Kronos]
... still remains. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky postulated that the glacial sheet of the last Ice Age was merely the previous polar cover; that the Ice Age terminated with catastrophic suddenness when the terrestrial pole shifted. This moved North America and Europe out of the old polar regions while it shifted northeastern Siberia into the newly-created (present) Arctic circle. The ice sheet in North America and Europe began to melt while the present cold climate gripped the Siberian continent. "It is assumed here that in historical times neither northeastern Siberia nor western Alaska were in the polar regions, but that as a result of the catastrophes of the eighth and seventh centuries [B .C .] ...
338. Long Term Violation of Uniformitarianism Demonstrated by Fossil Discoveries in Polar Regions [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 90 degrees Fahrenheit warmer while the tropics do not even warm up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit? Where did the meltwater go? If the tropical rainforest zone averaged 100 degrees Fahrenheit, geologists claim a drying trend would set in, killing the trees. As the Sun's rays fall directly near the equator while the poleward sides of the Arctic and Antarctic circles experience months of total darkness, it is not reasonable to postulate a polar heat build-up that somehow misses the torrid zones of the Earth. Global catastrophe that changed the geographical orientation of points on the Earth's surface is less absurd than the thermal equivalent of saying water must have flowed uphill. Cretaceous/Tertiary forests north of the Arctic Circle ...

Rudgley (1999, $23 95) Rudgley does not believe that all the old civilisations exploded on to the scene with no precedents but shows how they were the natural development from Stone Age cultures who were far from ignorant savages.

... except the Hindus and Ancient Hebrews. Stories certainly can contain cognates referring to the same event and clearly need not be diffusionist in origin. Sagan has really taken the observations and stood them on their heads. If Velikovsky's analysis of the Mars maruts observation is correct, there should be evidence on at least one and possibly both tiny moons that circle Mars. Since the maruts and debris were generally preceding and following Mars and moving in the same general direction, it is highly probable that they would have encountered one of the Martian satellites and left grooves that generally run parallel to each other and leave craterlets all along these grooves. In Astronomy, for Jan. 1977, is just ...
