... after them. At 22:53 hours of this evening of February 23, 1981 a strange deep bassoon called the patrons of Philippo's Taverna to attention, and seconds later they found themselves altogether swaying like a ballet, their faces turned on in the unique poseidonian awe of earthquake recognition, and some were jostling at the door even before the lights went out. Once outside, there were those who hurried to their children, those who walked the middle of the streets towards home, and those who stood about in the little open plateia exclaiming at the marvel of Athens' first earthquake. Several sheets of lightning played over the scene. A car drove agitatedly by the human clots ...

... the site of protoplanets. Do these molecular clouds contain other organic compounds? Asymmetrical planets and moons Science Frontiers No. 91, Jan-Feb 1994, p. 1 Several Solar System objects are asymmetrical. Mars is more heavily cratered in its southern hemisphere than its northern, and Iapetus, a satellite of Saturn, is dark on one half and light on the other. Neptune appears to oscillate in brightness between its southern and northern half, the latter having recently become the brighter after about a decade of the former. During the 70s they were roughly equal in brightness. Planets survive supernova explosion of star New Scientist 19.2 .94, p. 17 Two Russian astronomers claim ...
493. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... said that abrupt transitions in the geological record would one day be shown to be erroneous, when transitional strata were discovered. Gradualism superseded Catastrophism. Darwin's and Lyell's world views were therefore perfectly complementary. ' [2 ] This would certainly have been representative of the overwhelming consensus amongst orthodox scientists ten years or so ago. However, in the light of arguments summarised in Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution [1 : pp. 12-23], such a position should not be tenable today. What is the explanation? Did I overstate the case against the dichotomy myth', or has Lewin, usually so well-informed, remained oblivious of its destruction, possibly in company with many others? ...
494. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents APPENDIX I On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus In the light of recent discoveries of radio waves from Jupiter and of the high surface temperature of Venus, we think it proper and just to make the following statement. On October 14, 1953, Immanuel Velikovsky, addressing the Forum of the Graduate College of Princeton University in a lecture entitled Worlds in Collision in the Light of Recent Finds in Archaeology, Geology and Astronomy: Refuted or Verified? ' concluded the lecture as follows: The planet Jupiter is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it ...
495. Paleoclimatology and Infrared Radiation Traps: Earth's Antediluvian Climate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... could be sustained with little or no need for winds and ocean currents. The climatic models of two authors will be examined in general, and then I will propose a third possibility. The Morris Canopy Henry M. Morris has interpreted Genesis 1:7- the waters above the firmament- as "invisible water vapor, translucent to the light from the stars, but productive of a marvelous greenhouse effect...preventing air mass circulation" and further as "a vast thermal blanket of water vapor somewhere above the troposphere."2 Morris' canopy is thus lofty and highly transmissive of sunlight. Both these conditions produce difficulties. Since man lived on Earth at that time ...
... first ellipse after perihelion is about 7 years, then we must class together i880, and 1887, 1882, and 1889, as two separate comets only. Those particular years stand out not only in astronomy but in meteorism for some peculiar happenings. In 1883 was the Krakatoa "Eruption," accompanied by amazing "after-glow" or magnetic lights seen over half the world. On August 6, 1885, a "new star" was discovered in the direction of the Nebula in Andromeda, and on August 31 reached its maximum of brilliance, to peter out. But this event coincided with a cold blast which smote Northern Europe and especially Sweden. Wild fowl began to migrate ...
497. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... all, they only had the arrangement of the present sky to work with. In short, when it comes to the Egyptian Ra, the terms rising' and setting' were actually mistranslations. If we were to translate the Egyptian texts concerning Ra literally, and forget about what the Sun is supposed to do, we find that the light of the god is simply said to come forth' and recede'. The god himself comes out' and goes in. ' Egyptologists, of course, will claim that this was the way in which the Egyptians alluded to the rising and setting of the Sun - and, as I said, one cannot really blame them. ...
498. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... `presented' in the Temple, that is, `brought to the official notice of the world for the first time', is traditionally February the 2nd. It is also called the `Day of Purification', and, as another name, `Candlemas', shows, it is a day on which a `Festival of Light' may once have been celebrated. The officiant in the Temple on that day was a certain Simeon, a man of great age, who could not die before he had seen the New Lord, `the light to lighten the Gentiles [that is, all the world'; and there was also present in the sanctuary ` ...

500. The Original Star of Dawn [Articles]
... visualize these planets inter alia as the heart, soul, or single eye of the Saturnian deity. Thus the heart of Quetzalcoatl, who was Saturn, was either the planet Venus or Mars. But which? Mesoamerican lore seems to leave no doubt that the Morning Star was the planet Venus and, unless and until new evidence comes to light, I am not going to disregard the evidence. On the other hand, the Martian associations with the Mesoamerican Morning Star I have enumerated continue to bother me. Like Venus, Mars did not depart from the Saturnian configuration despite its drop from the center. Like Venus, and as seen from Earth, Mars also took up a ...
