Venus was a distinct feature of Velikovsky’s catastrophic model. Hence, a post with the title of Venus may attract a lot of readers seeing as how SIS had its origins in Velikovsky. It began as a journal to explore his ideas in order to see if they were viable. Many of the authors in our publications, very keen on Velikovsky as a student, or generally young and open to new ideas, later in their life had deep reservations. SIS has in fact published more articles questioning Velikovsky than actively supporting him, However, I stick to the title as the first link concerns Venus. At
https://www.space.com/venus-atmosphere-phosphine-ammonia-posssibility-of-life … It is known that bacteria can make phosphine – and bacteria are primitive life forms. Phosphine as well as ammonia, exist in the atmosphere of Venus. It stands to reason it may suggest life forms may exist on Venus. Velikovsky thought Venus sent a plague of flies to harass earth’s inhabitants – which are many orders of magnitude above bacteria, [but that is a different story]. However, what is not clear is what are producing phosphine on Venus. What may also be interesting is that the researchers used the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Hawaii, named after a man heavily involved in electricity research, back in the day, and the fact the detection of phosphine in its atmosphere in a published research paper in 2020 met what is described as fierce opposition – and disagreement. It is possible phosphine and ammonia are being produced by photochemistry in the upper amosphere of Venus – involving solar ultra violet breaking up molecules and allowing phosphine and ammonia to form from the molecular debris.
At https://www.space.com/moon-atmosphere-meteorite-impacts …. the moon has a thin atmosphere – but what causes it and what sustains it. Apparently, the latest idea involves meteorite impacts – and vaporisation. This process occurs when impacts kick up lava soils, vaporising materials that either escape to space or remain suspended over the moon. Thee are moslty micro meteorites – particles from space that are smaller than a grain of sand.
