... threats and I don't know anyone who did".6 While Shapley was playing "Mr. Clean", other people were jealous because Shapley was getting all the credit for something they bragged about helping to do. Suppression attempts did not stop with the transfer of the book to another company. Doubleday owned Blakiston company which published Earth, Moon and Planets, written by Fred Whipple. He was the successor to Shapley at Harvard. Whipple wrote Doubleday that he would not do any updating of his book as long as it was owned by Doubleday and they published the works of Velikovsky. Doubleday, not bowing to irrational pressure, told Whipple what he could do with the Earth ...
... the north-west of the Abyssinian anchorage bollard, and its major axis should be inclined from NE to SW against that of the Abyssinian bollard. (Diagram 27.) It stands to reason that the cataclysm of the Tertiary satellite will have largely obliterated any traces, as it seems to have been a very powerful body though smaller than our present Moon. Be that as it may, in front and at both flanks of this anchorage bollard, or its remains, we should expect to find a system of rift valleys, or the vestiges of them. On the other hand, we need not necessarily look for a mountain mass as great or grandiose as that of Abyssinia, for ...
873. Zetetic Scholar Nos. 3 & 4 April 1979 [Articles]
... ; those with water coming from Saturn.8 The recorded decrease in number, the loss of luminosity, and the dissipation of material in comets argue for a short life-time. Fifty two years after the Exodus the Hebrews had arrived in Palestine. In the Bible there is the famous story that while Joshua engaged in a battle the sun and moon stood still for about a whole day.9 Velikovsky discovered that a similar account of physical phenomena, although variously told, is found in the myths and legends of peoples all over the world. For example, in Mexico a prolonged night is recorded.10 By comparing different accounts of the same natural events it is possible to cross-check ...

... of fragmentation. We use a figure of 2.76 for Roche's Limit, which assumes Astra's density to be in the range of 3.0 , significantly less than Mars' density. We postulate that Astra's diameter was 1250 miles, or slightly larger. This compares to the diameters of other solar system bodies as follows: 1. Moon (Earth) 2160 miles 2. Io (Jupiter) 2257 3. Europa (Jupiter) 1942 4. Pluto 1500 5. Rhea (Saturn) 950 6. Iapetus (Saturn) 895 7. Titania (Uranus) 800 8. Oberon (Uranus) 715 9. Charon (Pluto) 500 Thus it is proposed that ...
875. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ; in fact, for many years it was thought that all the glyphs were calendrical and that no other details of history were recorded. In addition to the Long Count date glyphs, the full date sequence on the Classic Maya monuments also includes a tripartite supplementary series; the first part of the supplementary series relates to the phases of the moon; the second part consists of some as yet undeciphered glyphs; the third and final part of the supplementary series consists of a pair of glyphs defining the date in terms of the Calendar Round. When the Long Count was introduced in the Classic Maya period, the Calendar Round glyphs were retained from a very much older system of dating ...

... to come forth." Now the truth of the matter is that neither these, nor any other Egyptian words translated as the sun rising on the eastern horizon actually carry such a meaning. When Egyptian sources speak of the sun god coming out, or coming forth, the meaning is precisely what you would intend in saying that "the Moon comes out at night", or "the stars come out." You would not mean that the moon or stars rise. You would mean that they "grow bright." And that is the literal meaning of the Egyptian words usually translated as "to rise": Related hieroglyphs mean to grow strong, to awaken, ...

... by an Arabic "1 " if the character shuo appears in the text, which means the first day of the month. Most of the entries have this character, and that some do not may be an oversight. (Legge does not always bother to translate it.) Eclipses can occur only at a conjunction of the Sun and Moon, and if the Chinese were consistent, this is an indication that the months at this time were reckoned from one conjunction to the next, rather than at first crescent, which occurs on the next evening when the Moon has moved far enough east of the Sun to be visible above the western horizon. This usually takes about 24 ...

... fall, by day and by night.... 1.4 : It was cloudy and twilight then on the face of the earth. There was no sun yet. Nevertheless, there was a being called Vucub-Caquix who was very proud of himself. The sky and the earth existed, but the faces of the sun and the moon were covered. And he [Vucub-Caquix] said: I shall now be great above all the beings created and formed. I am the sun, the light, the moon," he exclaimed. "Great is my splendor. Because of me men shall walk and conquer. For my eyes are .. . bright .. ...

... Ridge system actually. Hence, the San Francisco Bay Area and many other thickly settled communities found themselves wondering when the "Jupiter Effect" will occur. "1982" or thereabouts, said the writers. At this time, which is passing as this book goes to press, Jupiter and Saturn were to line up with the Sun, Moon, and Earth and exert an electrical gravitational tidal force upon the Earth sufficient to upset the delicate juxtaposition of rock surfaces along the San Andreas fault. The Moon is small, and 239,000 miles away on the average. Yet it affects the waters of the world with its tidal pull, daily and twice a month or every ...

Additionally, the theory applied to Saturn and Uranus that their rings were formed when a large icy body disrupted an icy moon cannot be applied to Neptune. Even a hundred-fold increase in cometary flux at Neptune compared with Saturn's cannot generate the observed amount of ring-arc dust'. There is also continued astonishment at the largest moon, Triton, whose active volcanic plumes grace what is supposed to be an extremely frigid body. The theory is that they are driven by ...
