... The lack of helium might indicate that it has rained out under intense pressure and this could explain the planet's internal warmth. It was always assumed that this was because it had not yet cooled completely since its formation. Others have suggested that the tremendous pressures on Jupiter could condense its electrically insulating gaseous hydrogen into a conducting metallic form. Jupiter's moon Io seems to have suffered a volcanic eruption between March 1994 and July 1995, as it now shows a huge yellow spot around a known volcano. Saturn New Scientist 21.10.95, p. 20, Newcastle Herald (Aus) November 1995 Recent observations of Saturn's rings have shown that some moons have disappeared, others have ...
852. Nor Heaven Nor Earth Have Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Edward L. Odenwald Though obviously much affected by massive storms, floods, droughts, and lengthy periods of extremely cold weather, the Elizabethans and Jacobeans apparently reserved the greatest share of whatever capacity for terror they had left for the phenomena of thunder and lightning, and such cosmic occurrences as meteors, comets, and eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Lightning strikes, for instance, are minutely reported: September the 5th [1599], at Alhallows, Bread-street, betwixt twelve and one at noon, was a dreadful thunderclap. It killed a water-spaniel at the church-wall side; felled one of the beadmen of the Salters' company, and the sexton of the said church; ...
853. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... each marked by catastrophe, until the present or Solarian period to which only some 1600 years are allotted. Many salient events are disallowed to quantavolution theory by conventional science not because they take too long to happen, not because they did not happen, but because they happened very long ago. Notable among such cases are the fission of the Moon from the Earth, the transportation of hydrocarbons by comets, the prolonged great heat of Venus, the desolation of Mercury and Mars, and other impliedly catastrophic occurrences, whose number is surprisingly large - even determining - when plucked out of the pages, for example, of the special account of the solar system contained in the Scientific American ...
854. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Abraham [Books]
... , and then he said, "I will not pay worship to these, for they are no gods." Thereupon the sun came forth, and he spoke, "This is my god, him will I extol." But again the sun set, and he said, "He is no god," and beholding the moon, he called her his god to whom he would pay Divine homage. Then the moon was obscured, and he cried out: "This, too, is no god! There is One who sets them all in motion."[16] He was still communing with himself when the angel Gabriel approached him and met him ...
... regard to opinions and theories founded on the observation of Nature. In astronomy, for instance, it is declared that, at the North Pole, the year was divided into a long day and night, and that their long day was the northern, and their night the southern course of the sun ; and to the inhabitants of the moon, it is said one day is equal in length to one month of mortals.f If such statements cannot be resolved into mere conjectures, we have no right to refer tomere chance the prevailing notion that the earth and its inhabitants had formerly undergone a succession of revolutions and aqueous catastrophes interrupted by long intervals of tranquillity. Now there ...
856. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... appearance and existence from infinity". There is another version of this primeval production of a vapor Ouranos coning down from the Orphic cosmogony, which presents Chaos producing a world-egg, brilliant and white and that the opening of this egg gave birth to Phanes Now as I shall show in its proper place how ancient thought proves that the sun, moon, and stars, and the present order of nature, were brought forth by the rupture of the great mundane Egg-shell, I will merely state here that the world-egg was manifestly the great vapor shell that excluded the outer universe front the flew of primordial man, and hence the Egg that came from Chaos was the Shining Phanes himself, ...
... . (10) University of California at Los Angeles chancellor, Franklin Murphy, was intrigued enough that in January 1964 he asked Louis Schlichter, the geophysics chairman, to organize an interdisciplinary commission to look into the matter; Schlichter, however, refused on the basis that anyone who claims that the terrestrial magnetosphere can reach as far as the moon can have no understanding of scientific possibility. (Later in the year Van Ness detected that the magnetosphere does indeed reach the lunar orbit, but there was no further UCLA move toward Velikovsky). Hess and Velikovsky met on September 9, and Hess, whatever his misgivings about Velikovsky's basic approach, suggested that his friend prepare a memo ...
... " (36) Again, we will not review here the scientific points she raised, beyond noting that a number of people have very seriously questioned them. It is the tone and the innuendoes which reveal the unscientific bitterness behind her efforts, for she calls the book "a sloppy parade of jargon," compares it with the Great Moon Hoax of the 19th century and insinuates that Dr. Velikovsky's motives are monetary, (i .e ., that he is a charlatan). (37) Four weeks later, in the same magazine, Larrabee accused her of demolishing the book's condensation, not the book itself, and she replied then that she had just read ...
... puzzled in his footnote to 10.7 .2 : "Skambha, lit. prop, support, pillar, ' strangely used in this hymn as frame of the universe or held personified as its soul" Here are two verses of it: 12. In whom earth, atmosphere, in whom sky is set, where fire, moon, sun, wind stand fixed, that Skambha tell. . . 35. The Skambha sustains both heaven-and-earth here; the skambha sustains the wide atmosphere, the skambha sustains the six wide directions; into the skambha entered this whole existence. The good old Sampo sounds less pretentious, but it does have its three "roots," ...
... theory is that he proposed that Venus' orbit was changed from an elliptical orbit to a circular one, in part by electromagnetism. Therefore, Sagan seems to be saying he knows Velikovsky's theory better than Velikovsky. Velikovsky, in October of 1953, at a lecture before the Graduate Forum of Princeton University stated, "In Jupiter and its moons we have a system not unlike the solar family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the Sun and stars. I suggest this be investigated."19 On April 6, 1955, The New York Times reported, "Sound on ...
