... ] Others, as in our case, occur axially. [3 ] The belief that planets are formed through the accretion of matter from circumstellar disks is no longer the pillar of planetary science it used to be. For one thing, it has been pointed out that if the planets were formed from the same nebular disk from which the Sun itself was born, the Sun's equator should lie in the planetary plane. Why, then, is it tilted over at an angle of 7.25-deg? Cosmogonists, who are only concerned with how the Solar System formed, argue that this angle "is so close to zero that it really doesn't matter." Cosmologists, who ...
62. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... is particularly noteworthy that none of the common Venusian themes, when examined in detail, are explicable by Venus' appearance today- a point that is only underscored by the occasional guesses of historians and mythologists seeking to explain the motifs within conventionally accepted frameworks. Figure 1 The Polar Configuration Consider these well-established associations of the planet-goddess: Eye of the sun god Ascending heart or soul of a dying god or king Dove, pigeon, partridge, etc. Maiden daughter of a great king Love goddess Bearded goddess Sidelock of the sun World-devouring hag Raging serpent Lamenting goddess Spinning and weaving goddesb Goddess of fate "Moon" goddess (i .e ., goddess of a celestial crescent) Cow ...
63. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... Of course this is a very dangerous proceeding in that you cannot immediately conclude from that sort of reaction and say that anyone who is against the establishment must be necessarily right. As Marx said, Groucho, not Karl, as Marx said, "They said that Galileo was mad, and he did show that the Earth moved round the Sun, and they said that the Wright Brothers were mad and that people couldn't have heavier-than-air-machines, and they said that my Uncle Wilbur was mad, and he was as mad as a hatter!" In other words, you cannot reason in that way. All you can do is to consider whether the person, no matter who he ...
64. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... comets, took it seriously and the American Press discussed the great meteor. It was probably a celestial object discovered by Dr. Baade, of Bergedorf, at the end of October, I924, and pronounced by Greenwich to be a " minor planet," which Dr. Crommelin discovered complacently had an orbit that brought it nearer to the sun than any planet except perhaps Eros. (Morning Post, October 3Ist, 1924.) Dr. Crommelin may be right, but a strange round cometary object implies something coming towards us, and while the meteor will probably go nearer to the sun than Eros it apparently came near to putting a great part of this earth out of ...
65. On Celestial Mechanics [Journals] [Pensee]
... : "This impasse between celestial mechanics and the notion of cosmic electrical interaction was recognized long ago. A reconciliation seemed so unlikely that physical scientists of half a dozen successive generations felt compelled to devise all sorts of exotic theories to explain away the most obvious evidence for electric charge on the earth." My point is that, if the sun and all the planets (in vacuum) were to have charges (all of the same sign, whether positive or negative) in proportion to their masses, then except for some higher order (small) corrections there would be no apparent effect on their motions. The only effect would be to modify their apparent masses. The reason ...
66. Did Saturn Explode Twice? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1 and the works of David Talbott, we are presented with overwhelming evidence that prior to Noah's flood, Saturn, which was then a star, became a nova. In Kronos III:3 Dwardu Cardona outlines a similar picture involving Saturn but he places Saturn's "flare-up" at the so called dawn of creation which implies that Talbotts "sun of night" would have been an already-spent star. Since Cardona's theory is also well founded, it is time to ask the question: did Saturn explode twice? According to the Bible, Saturn definitely exploded twice. In Genesis 1:3 "God said let there be light and there was light. God saw the light was ...
67. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is virtually beyond dispute that some British megalithic alignments served as astronomical observatories. Archaeologically datable finds associated with some of the alignments, and radiocarbon dates for a number of them, place their construction in the period c.2300-1800 BC. Two in particular were solstitial observatories aimed at a celestial body which can hardly have been anything other than the Sun. From these it can be deduced that the Earth's geographical poles were in exactly their present positions when the stones were set up, making it unlikely that they have moved since that time. It can also be deduced that the Sun's apparent diameter was the same as today. The alignments examined fit well with the present celestial system retrojected ...
68. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the name of a person, a hero or a deity, we will have no difficulty in understanding the history of the tabled Egyptus, Son of Belus, the latter a straight solar-god-name. It is stated in these ancient annals that Belus was the Son of Osiris, and we can readily admit this, for the latter was the Egyptian Sun. So every other solar feature was a Son of the Sun whether the progenitor was the Egyptian Osiris, or the Sun of any other people; bearing in mind that the primitive sun of every race was the sun- illuminated canopy. The only point I need to make here is the tact that, if Belus was the Son of ...
69. A Proposed Model for the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... The planets Venus and Mars are also envisaged as having occupied a fixed position in a direct line between Earth and Saturn. The planet Jupiter is not visible. The fixed alignment can be shown to be possible if Saturn, Venus, Mars and Earth are satellites of Jupiter and rotate about Jupiter in a line synchronous with Jupiter's orbit around the sun. The polar orientation is possible if Earth's rotational axis is along this line. In order to supply the crescent appearance the line is assumed to make an angle of about 45 degrees with the line from Jupiter to the sun. This array is shown in Figure 1. All orbits are in the same plane. Figure 1: Orbital ...
70. The Planetary Order Revealed in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch [Journals] [Horus]
... revealed: 4. On the first uppermost circle I [God] placed the stars, Kruno, and on the second Aphrodit, on the third Aris, on the fifth Zeus, on the sixth Ermis, on the seventh lesser the moon, and adorned it with the lesser stars. 5. And on the lower I placed the sun for the illumination of the day, and the moon and stars for the illumination of night. It is generally conceded that the term "stars", as used in the first line of verse 4, refers not to stars but to the sun, moon and certain of the planets. It will be noted that the fourth circle ...
