... and the moon's orbital period. To be precise, measurements made over the past twenty years with the aid of atomic clocks indicate that the moon's period is increasing at the rate of 22.2 3.5 parts in 10^11 per year. Most of this can be attributed to friction on tides caused on the earth by the moon, which, according to the most reliable estimate, says Van Flandern, should produce an increase in the moon's period of 15.0 1.2 parts in 10^11 per year. The most significant alternative effect is loss of matter from the sun, which might possibly account for one thirtieth of the remaining discrepancy of around ...
582. Devi And Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... devas was vanquished by the valorous asuras. After conquering all the devas Mahishasura became the lord of heaven."(4 ) The defeated "shining ones" approached Shiva and Vishnu for help against their foe, charging that, among other misdeeds, Mahisha had "usurped" the jurisdiction of Surya (the Sun), Chandra (the Moon), Varuna (the Sky), and still other devas, including the petitioners. "Thrown out from heaven by that evil-natured Mahisha, the hosts of devas wander on the earth like mortals."(4 ) The principal gods were outraged and took action at once: "Then issued forth a great light from the face ...
583. Thoth Vol III, No. 2: Jan 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... html), when I stumbled over a few of Piet Hein's neatly drawn lines. In order to solve the equations of motion, a few simplifying assumptions had to be made: The Earth's orbit was made circular. SOHO was made massless. The coordinate system was put into rotation. These assumptions were stated, but others weren't: The Moon (and all the other planets) were ignored. The Earth and Sun were made dimensionless points. Those are the kind of "of course" assumptions that are easily recalled. But there are more subtle- and more pernicious-ones: That the underlying theory is a law that's universal and ahistorical. That there are no consequences to our ...

... of this planet's orbits in the zodiac. Partly for this reason Saturn is associated with Death and the Reaper, the skeleton in black hood with a scythe who reaps men and women when their time is up. Like Jupiter Saturn radiates about three times the energy it receives from the sun, and has ten big and at least seven smaller moons. Thus Saturn and its moons like Jupiter and its moons is a planetary system of its own within the sun system. Astrologically Saturn has become a symbol for implacable powers, restrictions impossible to overcome, relentless natural forces and the hard, fixed structures of the world of matter. In astrological graphical symbolism illustrates the idea that the crescent ...
585. On Number As Artifact (Part 1: Introduction) [Journals] [Horus]
... different times, but the problem remains one and the same. The Chinese Lo-Shu magic square To make this point clearer - and acoustical problems are abstruse by any reckoning - take a simple astronomical analogy. There are several ways of measuring the length of a month. The synodic month of approximately 29 ½ days represents the period during which the moon returns to the same position with respect to the sun. The sidereal month, about two days shorter, refers to the time in which the moon returns to the same position with regard to the stars. There are also the draconitic, month, the anomalistic month, and so on, each measuring a somewhat different aspect of the ...
586. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... spiral galaxies have to do with the geology of Mars? In October 2001, I wrote "In light of more than a century's research in the field of plasma cosmology and the 20th century discoveries of the space age, we can confidently propose the celestial thunderbolt as a common cause of the formation of canyons and rilles on rocky planets and moons." At that time I had not come to any conclusion about the details of the electrical event that created the colossal Valles Marineris canyons on Mars. Like geologists, I use a process of pattern matching when attempting to understand the processes that may have formed a feature seen on the surfaces of planets and moons. But unlike geologists ...
587. Pluto's Rank Again - Needs Changing... [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... clearest window to an obscure past. They are unearthed documents- not handed down tales. Bjorkman's article is illustrative of the potential for research in this area. It also shows well causes for difficulty in understanding these texts. Bjorkman herself states in preface that " . . .without having read parts of Middlehurst and Kuiper (1963) [The Moon, Meteorites and Comets], I would not have adequately understood the ancient description of a comet as a star with a tail and a beak." Some enticing lines given by her are: If a fireball (coming from) a planet is seen: If a fireball (coming from) Mars is seen: If a fireball ...
588. On the Length of Reigns of the Sumerian Kings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is no accident. The two signs are not intended to have synonymous meanings. The first sign stood for king, and the second for on-high = umun = perfect value = 60 = umun. The Sumerians did not record calendar years, or any specific features of the solar year. On the other hand, all the phases of the moon, including the numbers of days of the moon, are delineated or specified in a multitude of documents [13]. The word mu is used plainly enough to indicate a repetitious cycle'. A lunar period is appropriate for mu, especially since labour was contracted and wages were paid by the month, and rent was contracted by ...
... his case, with innumerable quotations from records of many ages and many parts of the world. His book contains more than 300 pages of such correlations and deductions. Advance Claims In the last chapter of Worlds in Collision (as well as in some earlier sections of the book) Velikovsky states his conclusions about some of the characteristics of the moon, Venus, and Mars- their thermal balance, the gases in their atmospheres, and so on. Little or no direct observational data about these characteristics were available at the time Velikuvsky wrote, and one could therefore regard these statements ~ predictions of what would be found; Velikovsky himself preferred to call these statements "advance claims" ...
590. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... removed his tent a mile away from the camp, saying to himself: "The disciple may not have intercourse with people whom the master has excommunicated." Not only the people went out o this tent whenever they sought the Lord, but the angels also, the Seraphim, and the heavenly hosts repaired thither, the sun, the moon, and the other heavenly bodies, all of whom knew that God was to be found there, and that the tent of Moses was the spot where they were to appear before their Creator. God, however, was not at all pleased to see Moses keep himself aloof from the people, and said to him: "According ...
