compounds of carbon are prominent. Although astronomers may continue to seek a more precise classification for stars, | 51625 SOLARIA-BINARIA: PART 1: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BINARY SYSTEM: Chapter 3: THE SUN'S GALACTIC JOURNEY AND ABSOLUTE TIME - |
is used to classify the stars, astronomers have also divided the stars into populations according to their location within the Galaxy. | 51630 SOLARIA-BINARIA: PART 1: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BINARY SYSTEM: Chapter 3: THE SUN'S GALACTIC JOURNEY AND ABSOLUTE TIME - |
Certain stars called early- type by astronomers tend to have companions with shorter periods (Russell et al., | 52159 SOLARIA-BINARIA: PART 1: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BINARY SYSTEM: Chapter 4: SUPER URANUS AND THE PRIMITIVE PLANETS - |

planets do have such motions. Hence, astronomers and public now agree that, | 84749 THE DISASTROUS LOVE AFFAIR OF MOON AND MARS PART 3: THERAPY FOR GROUP FEAR Chapter 17: SETTLED SKY AND UNSETTLED MIND : THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE |

Later that same month American radio astronomers announced that the surface temperature of Venus must be 6000 F, | 135310 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 1: MINDS IN CHAOS - - - |
examples given below: Menzel claimed that astronomers recognized the presence of electrified gas and magnetic fields in interplanetary space long before Velikovsky. | 135574 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |
early as 1946 in letters to astronomers Harlow Shapley, | 135601 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |

April 1964 an announcement by radio astronomers of evidence that the planet Jupiter suddenly changed its period of rotation made front-page news. | 136071 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |
became topics of intense interest. Australian astronomers reported evidence of temperatures near 600F on the dark side of Mercury, | 136085 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |
reaction to Worlds in Collision among astronomers to Velikovsky's forceful reminder 'that astronomy is not a theoretical science, | 136176 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |
system is an assumption on which astronomers have placed a tacit reliance it by no means ever deserved. | 136179 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 2: AFTERMATH TO EXPOSURE - - - |
II. Only a few years ago astronomers were unanimous in dismissing as preposterous Velikovsky's contention that the movement of the heavenly bodies is affected by electromagnetic fields. | 136236 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
affected by electromagnetic fields. Today creative astronomers are immersed in the study of electromagnetism. | 136238 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |

the eighteenth century a number of astronomers claimed to have seen and tracked this moon; | 136704 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
of telescopes made it impossible for astronomers of following generations to see what was not there. | 136707 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
in a Cytherean year. Still, many astronomers published reports of decades of observation that proved the correctness of the Newtonian view that Venus rotates in about 24 hours. | 136713 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
slowly, was not accepted by many astronomers until 1963. | 136716 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
two and a half centuries for astronomers to realize that they had been looking into the telescope with the eyes of their mind, | 136719 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
that these affect their motions, some astronomers objected that this had been proved impossible by Laplace. | 136904 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
all sorts of vituperation, especially among astronomers who, | 137011 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |

book with their worst personal fears. Astronomers saw the book as a defence of astrology; | 137115 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
in the position of the early astronomers who held that no truly respectable scholar should resort to the telescope. | 137211 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
personal vindictiveness: the record shows that astronomers hold to a peculiar dogma akin to the biblical story of Creation, | 137215 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 3: THE INCONSTANT HEAVENS - - - |
as one of Europe's leading astronomers' for twenty years, | 137607 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |

it continued to be used by astronomers until the Julian era was adopted as the scientific era during the Renaissance. | 137928 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
of Nabonassar did Babylonian and Assyrian astronomers feel the urge 'to ascertain and record the heavenly motions according to space and time by measurement and number. ' | 137938 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
and number. ' Before this era the astronomers of Mesopotamia would have been only 'stargazers' (the German word Sterngucker has a humorous connotation which may be rendered by 'starpeeper') who were 'exceptionally inclined to fantasy' (ausserördentlich phantasiereich). | 137940 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
of the era of Nabonassar, the astronomers of Mesopotamia, | 137949 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |

diligent observation, he concluded that these astronomers liked to play with numbers and enjoyed calculations that had little to do with reality. | 137958 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
C., one can infer that Mesopotamian astronomers had not kept a record of eclipses before this date; | 137965 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
of the method of pre-Nabonassar astronomers: | 137974 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
because of these phases. Only advanced astronomers would have been able to observe the phases of Venus. | 138111 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |

acquainted with them since unquestionably these astronomers had seen four satellites of Jupiter, | 138117 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
infer from the records that Mesopotamian astronomers made use of some means of optical enlargement. | 138240 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
evidence suggests to me that the astronomers of Mesopotamia made use of some sort of enlarging device 20 . | 138293 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
in limbo, it remains that the astronomers of Mesopotamia were acquainted with the phases of Venus and Mars and with four satellites of Jupiter, | 138295 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
essential point is that the early astronomers of Mesopotamia cannot be dismissed as fantasts who had no concern with empirical reality and lacked scientific spirit; | 138299 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
of the era of Nabonassar Babylonian astronomers were conducting investigations aimed at ascertaining basic data without which any scientific study of the heavens is impossible. | 138305 THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: PART 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY - - - |
