... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Venus In The Folklore Of The Indians Primitive peoples often are bound by inflexible customs and beliefs that date back hundreds of generations. The traditions of many primitive peoples speak of a "lower sky" in the past, a "larger sun," a swifter movement of the sun across the firmament, a shorter day that became longer after the sun was arrested on its path. World conflagration is a frequent motif in folklore. According to the Indians of the Pacific coast of North America the "shooting star" and the "fire drill" set the world aflame. In the ...
292. Velikovsky and the Sequence of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [Pensee]
... calculating orbital parameter values, as a graphical demonstration of the parameter interrelationships, and as a worksheet on which real and hypothetical orbits can be represented. Our units of measurement are geobasic units (4 ): the unit of mass is Earth's mass; the unit of length is the astronomical unit, or present mean distance of Earth from the Sun; and the unit of time is Earth's present sidereal year. The traditional symbols are used for the planets: [Venus] (Venus), [Earth] (Earth), [Mars] (Mars), and [Jupiter] (Jupiter). Two examples showing how limits may be put on specific orbits will be ...
293. On The Other Side of the Ocean, Part 1 Venus Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... up from Gilgal all night." In the early morning he fell upon his enemies unawares at Gibeon, and "chased them along the way that goes up to Beth-horon." As they fled, great stones were cast from the sky. That same day (" in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites") the sun stood still over Gibeon and the moon over the valley of Ajalon. It has been noted that this description of the position of the luminaries implies that the sun was in the forenoon position.(1 ) The Book of Joshua says that the luminaries stood in the midst of the sky. Allowing for the difference in longitude, it ...
294. Searching for Answers to Solar Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... _1 .htm A Tale of Two Mysteries: Solar physics experiments on STS-95 will address two of the biggest puzzles of science. November 5, 1998: Shuttle Discovery is carrying two telescopes, SOLCON and SPARTAN, designed to unravel two of the most perplexing mysteries in science. One mystery concerns the temperature of the Earth: Did the Sun cause a "Little Ice Age" two hundred years ago? A second conundrum involves the temperature of the Sun: Why is the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, 2,000 times hotter than the sun's surface? The STS-95 mission may not solve these longstanding puzzles, but scientists hope to uncover some important ...
295. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... The Moon's rotation is such that one face is frozen toward Earth. The Moon has no independent rotation. The Moon's center of gravity is offset from the center of its external sphere- or a "blob" on the Moon's near face, "unseen" from Earth, allows Earth's gravity to hold this position. Why look to the Sun as a source for comparison of the slow rotations implied? Mercury and Venus both have slow rotations and would have done just as well. In the newly discovered deep-space systems, the planetary orbits are reported to be eccentrically elongated. This type of orbit appears to be the standard capture orbit. The nearly circular orbits that we see in ...
296. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Astronomy. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... New York, accepted for publication though not yet published (1946-49), and in the years following its publication in 1950 several fundamental observations were made and explanations offered that have a clear bearing on the theory of that book. The zodiacal light, or the glow seen in the evening sky after sunset, stretching in the path of the sun and other planets (ecliptic), the mysterious origin of which has for a long time occupied the minds of astronomers, has been explained in recent years as the reflection of the solar light from two rings of dust particles, one following the orbit of Venus, the other an orbit between Mars and Jupiter, places where, according ...
297. Numerical Analysis of Planetary Distances in a Polar Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:4 (July 1999) Home | Issue Contents Numerical Analysis of Planetary Distances in a Polar Model Emilio Spedicato Abstract Starting with David Talbott, several scholars have argued that, during the phase of human prehistory, the Solar System was radically different than now, the planets being aligned with the Sun during their revolution, with Saturn in a dominating position (the Polar Model). In this paper, the planetary alignment equations introduced by Robert Gru-baugh, [1 ] and studied in a previous paper by Spe-dicato and Huang, are modified by taking into account the barycenter of the system. The equations constitute a nonlinear underdetermined system of m -1 equations and ...
298. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Velikovsky and knows about comets, rains of meteorites, clouds of dust, shifts of the earth's axis, earthquakes, rising mountains, and so on, will find familiar words in some passages of Revelation we will discuss: And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved ...
299. The Extended Habitation Zone [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... below its icy crust (3 ). The tidal effect produced by the parent planet opens up some new possibilities, and has shown that our previous assumptions about what constitutes the habitable zone around a given star have been oversimplified' (4 ). So what chances would there be for Europa's ocean if Jupiter were located further away from the Sun? The major moon of Neptune is called Triton. It has no atmosphere to speak of, and lies at the edge of the planetary zone around our Sun. Its surface is laden with dark organic materials and nitrogen ices, some of which appears to have occurred as snowfall near the equator. It is simply too frigid at this ...
300. Sun, Moon, and Sothis [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:2 (Oct 1999) Home | Issue Contents Sun, Moon, and Sothis http://www.knowledge.co.uk/sun-moon/Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt. A book by Lynn E. Rose. The history, of calendars is far from cut-and-dried. Almost every topic that this book addresses has long been the subject of heated controversy. Rose sees Hellenistic and Roman Egypt as of unparalleled importance in the history of calendar development. Even the Julian calendar had its origins in Hellenistic Egypt. Very likely, the Julian calendar itself was Sothic- that ...
