... ]. However, he often appears to use the name Morning Star as a generic term and does not dwell over-much on the dual aspects of Venus as both Morning and Evening Stars. This duality has subsequently been discussed and its importance emphasised by others. Peter James has argued that Velikovsky was mistaken in his identification of Greek Aphrodite as the Moon, and that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, was in fact the Greek Evening Star while Athena was the warlike Morning Star aspect of Venus only[2 ]. James proves his point by recourse to the myths and symbols of the Eurasian civilisations of the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians, where the often masculine, evil ...
... , relative to the Sun, it did not rotate. Because of the tidal' pull of the solar gravitation, and the orbital motion of our planet, the Earth was slightly elongated in its axis' which pointed to the Sun, and therefore it always showed the same face' or half', to the Sun, as our Moon does relative to the earth. The Earth did not, at that time, have an atmosphere in the present sense; partly because it was not yet massy enough to retain one, and partly because it was too hot and any gases that may have appeared were almost immediately dissipated. The surface of the glowing proto-planet was agitated by ...
653. Poles Uprooted, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Poles Uprooted WHAT CHANGES IN the motion of earth, moon, and Mars resulted from the contacts in the eighth and seventh centuries? The moon, being smaller than Mars, would have been greatly influenced by Mars if it came close enough to that planet. It could have been drawn nearer to the earth or pulled away to a more remote orbit. It is therefore of interest to investigate whether, in the time shortly after -687, reforms of the lunar calendar were undertaken. Also, the earth could have been "removed from her place," which would have meant a ...
654. The Subjective Interpretation Of The Events And Their Authenticity, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... . The sea was torn apart. The people attributed this act to the intervention of their leader; he lifted his staff over the waters and they divided. Of course, there is no person who can do this, and no staff with which it can be done. Likewise in the case of Joshua who commanded the sun and the moon to halt in their movements. Because the scientific mind cannot bel ieve that a man can make the sun and the moon to stand still, it disbelieves also the alleged event. What contributes to this is the fact that least of all do we place faith in books that demand belief, religious books, though we swear on these ...

... and that dispensing with it is as simple as chucking Worlds in Collision into the trash heap I contend, nevertheless, that the problem is real, and that observational evidence from many parts of the solar system can be marshaled to resolve it. This problem is real because we have ample evidence that the sun, the earth, and the moon are electrically charged bodies. Only one of the three- the moon- seems to have an electric potential equal to that of its environment, but from this we can only conclude that the environment itself has a potential as high as that of the moon. A quick review of just a few points of evidence will serve here to establish the ...

... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWO The Song of Love Here then is this song of love. It is presented fifth-hand: My literal verse is based upon a number of translations of what is ultimately a tenth century A.D . manuscript in Greek (the earliest extant-as written down in the seventh-century B.C . and reedited in the next century) of Homer's Odyssey, which reports what was sung by a blind harpist, Demodocus, in a time and place that have been debatable questions for over two thousand years. Alcinous the King announced the event: Now, all and one of ...

... Lockyer at the turn of the century and to earlier writers) and that the purpose was to watch the sun rising on the summer solstices (also an often repeated view); but he claimed further that with certain four selected points as observational stations, the extent of the swing along the horizon between the rising and setting points of the moon in summer and winter can also be followed up. Also with some additional selected points, the movements of the sun could be aligned with great precision for the winter solstice as well. Such a purpose is readily conceivable; the problem, then, is: if the ancient alignments are still valid, how could my reconstruction of past ...

Lunar Genesis?source: CORRIERE DEL TICINO 23.10.85 Richard Durisen of the University of Indiana has a new theory on the formation of the Moon. Whereas many astronomers believe the Moon was captured by Earth, some hold that the Moon could have been formed from Earth's substance as a result of a collision with a planet as large as Earth, while Earth was in a solid state. Now Durisen is working with computer models which predict that the collision with a planet the size ...

Jupiter and offspring New Scientist 6.6 .98, p. 24, 19.9 .98, p. 10, The New York Times 16.7 .98 The three faint rings round Jupiter are now thought to consist of dust from its moons, which slowly spirals down into the gas giant's atmosphere. Domes on the icy surface of Europa are thought to form where warmer ice rises from a deep liquid ocean below and Callisto may also have an underground ocean, as indicated by an induced electric field from Jupiter itself which could only form in a conducting layer such as seawater. ...
