... us the same story but from a slightly different viewpoint. His article is illustrated with artists impressions of Venus surface features, and orientated towards the search for plate tectonic activity on Venus. We are told, on the one hand, that Venus is quite round, without equatorial bulge or polar flattening, and so quite different from Earth, Moon or the other planets. Also, there is no evidence for mid-basin ridges, trenches, or deep subduction troughs (where tectonic plates would feed the mantle). This is evidently a disappointment for scientists expecting to find tectonic activity on an "old" planet! They do see Venus as old, alas, for the "smooth ...
502. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... ), see Ref. 1. A more recent contribution to the discussion was written by Sherrerd.(2 ) The problem of orbit circularization does not concern catastrophist astronomy only. According to some theorists, several satellites of the large planets are in fact captured asteroids which succeeded, after being captured, in achieving approximately circular orbits. The Moon may also be a captured body- no really satisfactory theory has been found for the existence of a satellite to the Earth, the difficulty with the capture theory being the circularization problem. The extra difficulty which meets the catastrophist is that the time scale is so short. Some of the oldest traditions refer to a time when there was ...
503. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Saturn: "Saturn prominent in the sky - possibly even the star around which the Earth revolved - became invisible until once again found, now with rings around it" (MANKIND IN AMNESIA, p.99, my emphasis). One reason for de Grazia's postulate of a Magnetized Gas Tube becomes clearer later when he suggests that the Moon was pulled from the Earth during an encounter between the Earth and Uranus Minor. "The Earth's atmosphere would have been lost if it were as limited as it is today. But at that time it was continuous with the gases of the magnetic tube that stretched from Sun to Super-Uranus" (CHAOS AND CREATION, p.l43) ...
504. Planetary Identities: I, The Concept of Deity [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... from the same planets needs no reference. But before I am again told that my idea of primitive man' is the astronomically adept Assyro-Babylonian culture', allow me to shift the scene to the Congo basin in the heart of Africa. Would Boyles consider the Efe pygmies of the Ituri forest primitive enough? 2. The Star of Nine Moons These pygmies do not cower in fear of thunder and lightning. Their lives are not ruled, or terrorised, by a squadron of jungle spirits that have to be appeased every time a calamity hits their community. On the contrary, they believe in a supreme deity who, despite his innumerable divine appellations [16], is commonly ...
505. Saturn And Genesis [Journals] [Kronos]
... And Genesis Lewis M. Greenberg and Warner B. Sizemore Copyright © 1975 by Lewis M. Greenberg and Warner B. Sizemore In the Spring 1974 issue of Pensee (pp. 49-50), the Rev. D. De Jong drew attention to Genesis 1:16 as possible support for Velikovsky's thesis that the Earth has been without a Moon in historical times (see Pensee, Winter 1973, p. 25). Specifically, De Jong refers to the passage "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night" - reasoning that by "the lesser light the .stars are meant, and ...
506. Sagan's Pseudo-sagacity: Style As A Reflection Of Character (Or The Lack Thereof) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... occurred to Kepler during a pause in one of his lectures. My dictionary gives "crack" as a synonym for interstices Perhaps Dr. Sagan meant to imply that Kepler's lectures or Kepler himself were "cracked." According to Dr. Sagan, charged particles from Jupiter's radiation belt "Immolate the surface" of lo, one of Jupiter's moons. Immolate? Immolate means to kill a sacrificial victim, as in a religious rite. Do charged particles kill Io's surface? Perhaps they'd kill anything that might be living on Io's surface. Dr. Sagan could have used "sear" or "scorch," or, to be strictly correct, "bombard" or "strike ...
507. Varves And Bok Globules (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... a few degrees above absolute zero, the molecules and grains of dust contained within these globules would not have enough energy to bounce off each other. A similar effect, the build-up of frozen water vapor from the air, can be observed in any freezer. Also, in the early 1960s, it was feared that the surface of the Moon might consist of dust into which astronauts might sink. As a test, a pile of dust was placed into a vacuum and a weight dropped into it. The dust did not scatter as it does in the atmosphere because the grains of dust stuck together in a concentrated mass. Separate dust grains can only exist in a vacuum until ...
508. Five Years (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... . (7 ) Spurred by the Plummer research, and angered by the renewed Science rejection, he prepared a new memo for Hess to submit to the Space Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He read a preliminary draft to Hess in April and then left the completed document with Hess' assistant on May 9. Claiming that the moon was "repeatedly heated and its entire surface melted" only a few centuries ago, at a time when "it was enveloped in powerful magnetic fields," Velikovsky warned lunar scientists to expect high magnetic remanence and strong radioactivity, as well as "hydrocarbons in the form of dried naphtha, bituminous rocks, asphalts, or waxes. ...
509. Three Views on Orbital Circularisation [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 221.47 degrees (average). The first near miss will be 21 years after the Exodus event, when Venus has completed 34 revolutions. When Venus passes the intersection point its angular distance to Earth will be 4.52 degrees, which is equal to 11.8 million kilometres, or 31 times the average distance to the Moon. With Venus so far away from the Earth probably nothing would happen. The next near miss will be after 29 years, when Venus has completed 47 revolutions. When Venus passes the intersection point, its angular distance to Earth will be 4.34 degrees, or 29 times the average distance to the Moon. Again, probably ...

... it is light in weight. Its density is a modest 1.32 (water = 1, Earth = 5.52). Jupiter has no crust and no cool iron that could be magnetized. Jupiter has a quartet of satellites. Of these, the closest is Io, which is 110 percent of the distance between our own Moon and Earth, and Io is 121 percent of the mass of our Moon. It is quite similar. For tide-raising purposes, Io generates 80 percent of all the tides on Jupiter. Tides are calculated on the basis of the satellite mass over the distance cubed. The large but distant Callisto and Ganymede don't do much. Thus, ...
