UI's Louis Frank presents additional proof for "small comet" theory. IOWA CITY, Iowa- Two University of Iowa space physics researchers today, Tuesday, Dec. 9, presented a new study based upon photographs taken by cameras aboard NASA's Polar spacecraft as further proof of their 11-year-old theory that thousands of house-sized ice comets disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere each day. The latest study examines June 1, 1997 photographs of the Earth's upper atmosphere, comparing ...

... . In the solar system we see the several planets moving round the sun in the same direction in orbits which are approximately circular and which lie nearly in the same plane. Dr Velikovsky asserts that this was not always so, but that in past times their orbits intersected; collisions between major planets occurred, which brought about the birth of comets. He states that in the time of Moses, about the fifteenth century B.C ., one of these comets nearly collided with the earth, which twice passed through its tail. [The earth experienced] the disrupting effect of the comet's gravitational pull,... intense heating and enormous tides... incessant electric ...

Further afield, more information is now forthcoming about the new class of objects in the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune. There appear to be many more of these than in the asteroid belt and it could be the source of long-period comets instead of the Oort cloud.

... it solidified. The required energy for the birth of Venus, erroneously calculated by Sagan, was not overlooked by Lyttleton in his theory of the origin of Venus and other terrestrial planets from Jupiter by spin-off. With its present rate of spin Jupiter's escape velocity is certainly high, and was an impediment to the Vsekhsvyatskii theory of the birth of comets from Jupiter by volcanic eruption. In my reconstruction of the past the fission of Jupiter followed, though not immediately, from a close encounter between the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn (Worlds in Collision, p. 373) followed by collection by Jupiter of the spread matter of Saturn; electrostatic forces could have played a role.

... indignant outcries. The ancients studied the movements of the sun and moon, as well as certain bright stars, to detect any disturbance in their motion or time of appearance, because this meant a change occurring in the heavens and perhaps destruction to their way of life would result. They were intelligent enough to know that disturbances were caused by comets and their remnants, meteorites, even though they may have considered these to have been sent by the "gods," perhaps as punishment.

After Hatshepsut's undocumented death, her successor, Thutmose III, reverted Egypt to an aggressively military-imperial policy. How far does the present echo the past? Comet Superstitions Newsweek, 3/8 /81 contains an invective by George F. Will against the decision not to provide finance for NASA's plan to send a satellite to intercept Halley's comet. The piece is notable for its delightful collection of superstitious reactions to the comet, and especially for this one, with which he kicks off: " ...
