... Sun." In case any of you don't have access to the website, I'll copy the text here: "The Sun has a Magnetic Carpet. Its visible surface appears to be carpeted with tens of thousands of magnetic north and south poles joined by looping field lines which extend outward into the solar corona. Recently, researchers have revealed maps of large numbers of these small magnetic concentrations produced using data and images from the space-based SOHO observatory . . . The small magnetic regions emerge, fragment, drift, and disappear over periods of only 40 hours or so. Their origin is mystifying and their dynamic behavior is difficult to reconcile with present theories of rotationally driven large-scale Solar Magnetism ...
522. Thoth Vol I, No. 27: December 10, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the craft to dangerous levels. With its solar panels outspread like wings, Global Surveyor glides through the atmosphere, buffeted about like a light plane. The temperature measurements allow engineers to adjust the orbits so the craft brakes just enough to enter orbit in the right place at the right time. The purpose of the $250-million mission is to map the entire surface of the planet, pinpointing the distribution of minerals, ice and rocks, and analyzing the atmosphere and gravity field. Such a thorough assessment will help scout promising landing sites for future Mars missions. Surveyor carries many spare parts that had been built for its ill-fated predecessor, the nearly $1-billion Mars Observer, which was ...
523. Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , the Greeks were not only impudent enough to invent three imperial periods centered in Assyria (Ninos-Assyrian, Median and Achaemenid), but also stupid enough to ignore the three imperial periods with their center in Assyria, excavated since the early 19th century (Old-Akkadians, Mitanni and Middle/Neo/Late Assyrians). The overview (following the maps) summarizes the archaeological periods in Assyria supposedly ignored by the Greeks (left) face to face with the imperial periods supposedly invented by the Greeks and shown on the next three pages. ASSYRIA, "HEARTLAND OF EMPIRES" Archaeological strata groups discovered within the last 150 years which were not expected historically (conventional dates). Historical periods ...

... effect of the sun upon the body of the planet; but at the bottom of the problem lies this fact: Venus gives off heat." (4 ) Iosef Shklovskii and Carl Sagan, Intelligent Life in the Universe, (New York, 1966), p. 319. (5 ) Paul Hoversten, "Magellan space probe maps `the face of a new planet'", USA TODAY, (October 30, 1991): 14A. The official quoted was Wes Huntress, chief of NASA's solar system and exploration office. (6 )Shklovskii and Sagan, op. cit., p. 324. (7 )Charles Ginenthal, Carl Sagan and ...
525. Thoth Vol I, No. 22: August 31, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... team has been viewing the Sun's surface with one of these instruments called a Michelson Doppler Imager that can measure the vertical motion of the Sun's surface at one million different points once per minute. The measurements show the effects of sound waves that permeate the interior. The researchers then apply techniques similar to Earth-based seismology and computer-aided tomography to infer and map the flow patterns and temperature beneath the Sun's roiling surface. "These techniques allow us to peer inside the Sun using sound waves, much like a doctor can look inside a pregnant woman with a sonogram," said Dr. Schou. Currently, the Stanford scientists have both identified new structures in the interior of the Sun and clarified ...
526. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [Aeon]
... , grammar and related matters made before 1920 are not valid as generalizations at all." (13) This effectively destroys the Indo-European theory as a Germanic salvation from Hebrew. We recognize that the relative proportion of "Indo-Germanic" to world languages has been slanted by German philology to make it appear more inclusive than it is, like the maps of the world prepared mainly by Germanic cartographers which made China, which is larger than the U.S ., appear more like a European country. Second, all theories about its origin and development are to be dismissed, a situation which the Third Edition of 1963 makes even murkier when it refers to "an ancient Indo-European language ...
527. Uniformitarian Or Catastrophist? Ice Age Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... solar variations during the past must be known. The theory suffers from a common problem-it can never be proved or disproved scientifically. Another extra-terrestrial theory, the galactic dust cloud theory, states that ice ages were caused when the earth passed through cosmic dust, blocking some of the solar radiation. This theory suffers from the inability of astronomers to map areas of cosmic dust and to predict when the Earth would have passed through these clouds. There are a large number of terrestrial theories. One of the most popular is a decrease in the atmospheric gas, CO2, This gas is transparent to solar radiation but strongly absorbs terrestrial, or infrared radiation at certain wavelengths. Although the concentration ...

... one day following solar flares, there is a rapid increase in the global circuit current. Ralph Markson has speculated that this is due to "energetic charged particles" emitted by the flares. It is these particles that "directly ionize the atmophere."(42) The above speculation was confirmed by Bruce Edgar of the Aerospace Corporation. Mapping and counting the distribution and number of lightning strokes as observed from space through satellite photographs, he was able to deduce that "solar flares do increase thunderstorm activity, particularly if multiple flares are involved."(43) There thus appears to be a correlation that strongly indicates that electricity from the Sun travels to the Earth and plays ...
529. Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... axis shift. The Andes are an outstanding example of this right-arm elbow-bend observation. Bolivia is at the center zone of the Andes uplift. Antarctica and Chile represent the sunrise, or easterly wing of the zone (as directions were at that time). The Peruvian and Colombian Andes represent the westerly, or sunset wing. Observe on a map the shift in direction. Notice that at the center zone there is a sudden shift in direction, a shift of some 30 degrees to the southwest. This is again a right-arm elbow-bend. It was caused by a gyroscopic precession during the height of a flyby, a close one. The spin axis shifted and seemingly was relocated, ...
530. Nebuchadrezzar and Neriglissar [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The foundation of the Palace of Babylon I made with mountain blocks. '" [20] This, according to Velikovsky, once again indicates that Neriglissar preceded Nebuchadrezzar on the throne. But a careful examination of the building inscriptions quoted by Velikovsky demonstrates that he is confusing different buildings in the palace area. In the following discussion the accompanying map of Babylon and the palace area in the northern part of the city will be of help. The palace buildings erected by Nebuchadrezzar occupied an area of 520 x 420m and may be divided into three groups: 1) the northern citadel, called by Koldewey "die Nordburg", "which was in the main a projecting fortification for ...
