... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 1 (Jul 1980) Home | Issue Contents Io, Europa and Venus All Recently Stabilised Additions to the Solar System. by R.D . MacKinnon In Workshop vol. 2 no. 4 (1980), p.8 , the Monitor section reports on Jupiter's moon, Io, describing it according to one journal as "the strangest object yet seen in the solar system" (1 ). To account for the vulcanism on Io the tract indicates that as this moon tunnels its path through the enormous Jovian magnetic field a huge current is generated, giving rise to some 1012 watts of heat which must be "dissipated within ...
322. Catastrophism and Evolution [Articles]
... , the outer-most planet of our Solar System, is inclined at an angle of 17 to those of the other planets and is more elliptical than that of Neptune, bringing Pluto inside the orbit of Neptune on occasions. Pluto is much smaller than the other outer planets being, perhaps significantly, about the same size as one of their large moons. One of Neptune's satellites, Triton, is extremely close to the surface of the planet and has retrograde motion, as do some of the moons of the other outer planets. Phoebe orbits Saturn in an eccentric, retrograde path and is rocky whereas the other Saturnian moons are icy (1- see references at end). The ...

One of Neptune's satellites, Triton, is extremely close to the surface of the planet and has retrograde motion, as do some of the moons of the other outer planets. Phoebe orbits Saturn in an eccentric, retrograde path and is rocky whereas the other Saturnian moons are icy [1 ]. The outer eight Jovian moons are ...
324. Response to Ellenberger [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... by the relative angular velocity to more properly reflect the time of the interaction. This shows that the interactions with Jupiter are much stronger than Ellenberger claims. Criticism 4. The close conjunctions specified by Patten would have been energetic enough to change the length of the month. This criticism is essentially the same as Ellenberger's criticism 9, regarding the moons of Mars. A detailed consideration of that criticism is given later. It should be mentioned here, however, that Ellenberger seems to imply that all interactions would add energy to the Moon's orbit. It turns out statistically that the number of interactions that add energy or angular momentum are almost evenly balanced with those that subtract energy or angular ...
... but they are generally thought to range from 10 17 to 10 20 grams5, whereas, the mass of Venus is on the order of 10 27 grams. Some definitions of comets include masses of up to only 10 21 grams. 6 However, Bobrovnikoff calculated that one comet may have had a mass on the order of that of the moon (1024 grams ). 7 So it appears that the maximum mass of a comet is entirely arbitrary and is set in terms of modern experience. Odd as it may seem after the reaction to Velikovsky's wording, certain features of Venus have recently been called "comet-like" by a modern scientist Max Wallis of the Division of Plasma Physics ...
326. Electricity Absent from Sagan's Astrophysics [Journals] [Pensee]
... could not start spinning again by itself, because of the law of conservation of angular momentum. 3) Celestial mechanics and Velikovsky's claim that the interior planets achieved their present stable orbital and rotational regimes within a matter of a few thousand years are difficult to reconcile. 4) What is known of surface conditions on the interior planets and the moon is inconsistent with the thesis of recent catastrophism in the solar system. Such a listing clearly does not account for each and every specific argument brought by Sagan in his symposium paper, but I believe he would agree that it embraces the strongest of them and presents them approximately in order of descending importance. Earlier Collisions 1) The matter ...
327. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... interesting correspondence on Calendars and Time carried on by Michael Reade, Mike Rowland and George Hollaseter. After all this time may I put in my spoke? In Workshop No. 2 Michael Reade says: ". .. in a purely lunar system, one can also identify the days within a month by the shape and size of the moon .. . a very practical substitute for the modern printed calendar. One thus only has to consult the zodiacal stars if one also needs to name the month". My mind boggles at the thought of astronomically ignorant people dashing out to look at the Moon to find out what day it is, or arguing about what zodiacal sign ...

... , upsetting the Big Bang Theory; (2 ) some galaxies and other objects have acquired anomalous velocities through some unknown mechanism; and (3 ) these unusual redshifts do not indicate velocities at all. Ed.] (Arp, Halton M.; "NGC-1199," Astronomy, 6:l5, September 1978.) ASTEROIDS WITH MOONS?Several recent observations made of asteroids as they occult stars suggest that some asteroids are circled by moonlets. The observational technique resembles that used in the discovery of the now-famous rings of Uranus. Briefly, the star being observed blinks out not once in a clean-cut fashion but in a complex scenario that may indicate the presence of a second ...
329. Some Additional Comments On Tektites [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents Some Additional Comments On Tektites Ralph E. Juergens I would like to applaud Cardona's suggestion that tektites may be products of interplanetary electrical discharges to the surface of the Moon. It seems to me that this is an idea whose time has come. One criticism, directed less at Cardona than at most of the other scientists who have addressed themselves to the tektite puzzle over the past several decades, concerns a tendency to persist in either-or attitudes about tektite sources: Either the tektites originated on the Moon; or they originated on the Earth. In terms of the electrical fusion hypothesis, and ...
330. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Perhaps they are not planets after all but some new type of object, or is the Solar System an exception to the rule? Mini-Moon New Scientist 27.2 .99, p. 13 A new object with an unusual Earth like orbit has been found between Earth and Mars. It is suggested that it is a chip off the Moon after an impact event. Planetary billiards New Scientist 12.6 .99, p. 17, Sunday Times 25.7 .99 Astronomers have suggested that another star passing by the Solar System could alter Jupiter's orbit, making it pass so close to Earth that we could be ejected into space or crash into the Sun. Failing ...
