... astronomers assure us that the solar system is both stable and predictable. But new vistas in the sciences often expose flaws in notions that once seemed obvious. Only a few decades ago, all well-trained, feet-on-the-ground scientists "knew" that- Space is empty and cannot conduct electricity; Magnetic fields do not exist in space; The tails of comets are pushed away from the Sun by the pressure of light; Jupiter and Saturn have been cold and inactive since the early history of the solar system; The planet Mars has been geologically dead for more than a billion years; Venus is our "sister planet," with temperatures close to those of the Earth; There are no ...

... de doctrina temporum), we do not have any right to deny that these traditions have a core of historical truth. ' Like Velikovsky, Kugler studies both the ancient writers of chronology and the chronological investigations of Renaissance scholars. Velikovsky quotes a number of Renaissance writers who stress that ancient sources make the cataclysm contemporary with the appearance of the comet Typhon, and observe that, although this was called a comet, it had a circular shape. These Renaissance writers quote, among others, a passage of Pliny (II, XXIII, 91-92) from which one can gather that it had been disputed whether Typhon was a comet or a planet. The passage reads: Some comets ...

... meteorites is that of Judith Bjorkman. Bjorkman showed that the ancient Babylonians, among others, held surprisingly sophisticated views about the nature of meteorites. Bjorkman summarized her findings as follows: "The texts show that the peoples of the ancient Near East knew of and were able to describe shooting stars, meteors, fireballs, meteor showers, and comets. They were also aware of the extra- terrestrial origin of meteorites, including iron meteorites." While there are many points of interest in these ancient texts, not the least of which is the association of meteorites with eclipses of the Sun, we are primarily interested here in reports concerning Mars. Suffice it to say that the ...

For the non-astronomer, it remains extremely difficult to assess ...

... own thoughts on the subject for many years, I hesitated to write about so uncertain a matter until I read a reference to the Tunguska event in WORKSHOP 5:1 , p. 33, in which it is reported that a team of US scientists have concluded that the Tunguska impact was caused by a meteoric fragment which originated from the comet Encke. This comet has been with us since its discovery in 1786, but was named Encke much later (J . F. Encke 1791-1865) when Encke found that its orbit was shortened by 2.5 hours every circuit a fact which has been contested. There was, indeed, a definite change in Encke's orbit, but ...

From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather I - New Atmospherics Celestial In Origin WEATHER conditions figure so prominently and continually in our lives that few among us pause to consider the fons et origo of the atmosphere we breathe or the rain that descends sometimes as a blinding and furious storm, at others as a gentle shower. The state of the weather is always a subject of interest and often of importance, but not many can advance an intelligent explanation of it. We accept the occurrence of great storms, gales, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, or severe frosts without as a rule probing deeper than to explain that ...

For example,, a picture from Hubble of the Orion Nebula, in particular the Trapezium cluster. And the text mentions that many of the smaller stars have dust clouds that point away from the larger stars. So I'd like to know, can these be "coma" in the same sense but much larger scale as cometary tails? They don't mention it, but ...

... reference to the evaporative powers of the heat of the sun and goes on to claim that morning may originally have read evening, primarily because the words make no sense, as the sun does not shine at night. It did not occur to O'Rahilly that the MacCecht was not the sun but another body traversing the sky, such as a comet. MacCecht and Cuchulainn bear some similarities such as a sword which shone at night [2 ]. This was Calad-bolg, which has the meaning of hard or crushing lightning, a thunderbolt of extraordinary proportions, the perfect description of a Clube & Napier-style fireball explosion, the blast pressing downwards on the human world below.

... degree tilt could explain why it is the only one of the four giant planets not to give out more heat than it receives from the Sun. Because this means its poles get heated this may cause an instability inside the planet which causes heat to be carried more efficiently to its surface to be radiated into space.
