... using Huber's lunar tables, I found that Solution -1368/ -1344 yields better agreement than Huber's solution, -1701/ -1680. It seems to be correct for the lunar tables but comes too early in the year to fit all the recorded Venus invisibility periods. The adjoining solution, which meets the Venus requirements, is incorrect for the Moon. This suggests that Mitchell's solution could be correct. When he publishes his setting and rising dates they may very well yield a better fit with the recorded data than has been achieved up to now. That would make Michael Reade's assumption seem less likely. It would be advisable, therefore, to reserve judgement on Michael Reade's work until ...
462. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Ireland. Offerings to them were made on Tory Island, off the NW coast of Donegal. The Christian religion absorbed some of these apocalyptic and druidic ideas as Christ was crucified and resurrected at the age of 33 – rising from behind a large stone. The number 33 seems to have originated from the ancient study of the Sun and the Moon for calendrical reasons. It takes 33 solar years to complete 34 lunar years of 12 lunations [3 ]. Indeed, the number 33 has been adopted by other groups such as the Masonic Order, for example, which recognises 33 degrees of proficiency whilst the ancient game of Solitaire (from the Sun) consists of 33 holes and ...
463. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... power to do as no king had done before": " he will devise more prudently than any man " (366): he will seize upon Rome, and bring in a reign of terror which will only terminate with the great catastrophe of the end. All this is to come about "in the last time, when the moon reaches its last days." And the Antichrist who will then appear will (like the Belial of the Ascension of Isaiah) be one who murdered his mother (363, 31, 145). His coming is divinely permitted (220), and (as in Rev. xiii. 7) the power which he is to ...
464. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... , bespeaks at least one, and most likely several, sizable bolides that impacted the red planet. The standard cosmological interpretation is that these events occurred tens of millions, if not billions, of years ago, somewhat contemporaneous with similar events that afflicted Earth in its own early geohistory. Interestingly, such an occurrence was noted on our own Moon in the 12th century, as recorded by the Canterbury prelate Gervase, when, on the night of 18 June 1178, several observers watched a peculiar "flaming torch" spewing out of the new moon during an otherwise clear evening. [2 ] The resulting crater of this event was more recently identified and named after Giordano Bruno, ...
465. Saxl's Pendulum Convection of Electric Charge Revisited [Journals] [Aeon]
... a recent challenge from Samuel Windsor, Charles Ginenthal writes: "It has been several years since Immanuel Velikovsky predicted the Earth's magnetic field subsequently discovered by Van Allen."(1 ) The statement is untrue. Velikovsky did not predict the Earth's magnetic field. Rather, in 1956 he suggested it was stronger above the ionosphere and reached the Moon. The former is false and the latter is true only because the solar wind sweeps Earth's field downwind. Only at full moon when the Moon passes through the stretched magnetotail is the Moon inside Earth's magnetosphere. Van Allen did not discover the Earth's magnetic field. In 1958 he discovered belts of charged particles trapped in the magnetosphere that were ...
466. "Mechanics Bears Witness" [Journals] [Pensee]
... offer us some surprises when we are not looking for them. A prime case in point occurred a few years ago when queer "anomalous decay" characteristics were displayed by lunar orbiters. It will be recalled that only the most sensitive data-analysis techniques succeeded in identifying the cause to be mascons, or lunar mass concentrations near the surface of the Moon under maria on the near side (Muller and Sjogren, 1968). Apollo 8 experienced similar unexplained orbital perturbations, and the first manned lunar lander Apollo 11 was apparently dangerously thrown off-course for the same reason, its successful landing several kilometers from the intended touchdown location having been accomplished only by quick action that avoided landing in a rocky ...
467. Editorial [Journals] [Horus]
... 90 days in light of the 90 days allowed for superior conjunction invisibility in the astronomical records. But even in modern times we have 90-day training periods during the Civil War and World War II. Alban Wall's article "The Stonehenge: What is it?" explains how the Stonehenge was used as a calendar, including the phases of the Moon. This reminded me that not too long ago, our own calendars also included phases of the Moon, and of the old tradition of planting by the Moon. Then it occurred to me that the calendar used by Grandfather's grandfather did not hang on the kitchen wall. Rather, it hung in the evening (or morning) sky ...
468. Sagan's "Ten Plagues" [Journals] [Kronos]
... admitting that in his calculations "an approach to within N Earth radii has N2 times the probability of a physical collision." In other words, if Venus approached to within, say, 500,000 miles, or 126 Earth radii (at which distance it would already loom twice as large in the sky as the sun or the Moon), Sagan's calculation would yield odds differing from his stated result by a factor of 16,000. But the entire performance is an exercise in futility. Velikovsky's work is concerned with history, not with a game of chance concerning what might have been. He gives no estimate of the length of time Venus may have orbited as ...

... universe, the Big Bang, dark matter, and all that goes with them. A much different vantage point is provided by the electric universe, with an explanation of red shift and a predictive power that can be tested at all levels of observation. Consider, for example, the so-called "volcanoes" and spectacular plumes on the Jovian moon Io, which Wal Thornhill identified as active electrical discharges. Prior to the Galileo probe close-ups, Wal was the only one to accurately predict what NASA would find-including "plume" temperatures exceeding the capabilities of Galileo's instrumentation. The astonishing fact is that we now see on Io a live demonstration of electrical scarring- the very thing which Ralph Juergens ...

... torque to be significant. Why the near collision would occur near the intersection of the orbits is not clear to the general reader. (3 ) The end section of section 7 contains a potential source of criticism from mainstream scientists because a body of Earth mass passing Earth at 66,000 km (Warlow's second example) could accelerate the Moon beyond its escape velocity from Earth of 1.48 km/sec. For example, if the interloper passed between Earth and Moon at 42 km/sec (escape velocity from the Sun at 1 AU), the Moon would be accelerated to 1.58 km/sec, but if the Moon were on the far side ...
