Scriptual References To Astronomy
Scriptual References to astronomy. by Erich Robert Paul. have already passedaway, and that other worlds are yet to be created (Moses 13338).
http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/basic/doctrines/scripture/astronomy_eom.htm

Extractions: Scriptual References to Astronomy by Erich Robert Paul Latter-day Saint scriptures indicate that both biblical and latter-day prophets and seers were shown visions of the heavenly realms to orient them to God's dominion and eternal purposes. These visions gave information about (1) the governing of systems of worlds and stellar objects; (2) a heliocentric, planetary cosmology; (3) the plurality of worlds; (4) the spiritual and physical creation of the earth and the universe; and (5) the role of Jesus Christ as creator. In contrast to some interpretations of biblical scholars who attribute a geocentric cosmology to the words of Joshua (10:12-14), Job (9:6-7), Isaiah (38:7-8), and other Old Testament passages, the Book of Mormon affirms the sun-centered (heliocentric) view accepted by modern planetary physics. The prophets Nephi 2 (Hel. 12:13-15) and Alma 2 agree that "surely it is the earth that moveth and not the sun" (Alma 30:44). Psalm 8:3-4 has been the classic text for discussion of the "plurality of worlds." LDS scriptures give even more direct support for modern astronomers' search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The prophets Enoch, Moses, and Joseph Smith all received revelations dealing with the existence of sentient life on other planets. Moses revealed both the spatial and temporal existence of countless worlds: that God had created "worlds without number," that "many worlds…. have [already] passed away," and that other worlds are yet to be created (Moses 1:33-38). Joseph Smith received

http://www.anybook4less.com/detail/0792274911.html

Extractions: Comment: Although I started out rating this a "4", I changed my mind and gave it a "5", mainly because I found it for half price and also because some of these pictures are so marvelous that it's scary. You've never seen the Eagle or Helix nebulae like this before and some of the pictures within our own solar system give you a good idea of what it must be like if you're out therescary. Away from Earth and in a desolate zone millions of miles away. Galaxies, star clusters, etc.. are so much more defined than the photographs of these wonders that come from Earth-based observatories. No atmospheric turbulence and also great photos from the greatest scope man has invented. Galileo would marvel at the photographs of Jupiter and its Moons, which he first discovered long ago. He sure didn't see them like this.

http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/science/sc-hpb.htm

Extractions: By H. P. Blavatsky (from The Secret Doctrine Did the Ancients know of worlds besides their own? . . . That time is gone by for ever, when, although our pious ancestors believed that our earth was in the center of the universe, the church and her arrogant servants could insist that we should regard as a blasphemy the supposition that any other planet could be inhabited. Adam and Eve, the Serpent, and the Original Sin followed by atonement through blood, have been too long in the way, and thus was universal truth sacrificed to the insane conceit of us little men. Now what are the proofs thereof? Except inferential evidence and logical reasoning, there are none for the profane. To the Occultists, who believe in the knowledge acquired by countless generations of Seers and Initiates, the data offered in the Secret Books are all-sufficient. The general public needs other proofs, however . . . . We may approach the subject from its general aspect, and see whether belief in it is so very absurd, as some scientists along with other Nicodemuses would have it. Unconsciously, perhaps, in thinking of a plurality of inhabited " Worlds

http://www.kidsastronomy.com/other_worlds.htm

Extractions: All Planets How many worlds are there in our Solar System? If you answer 9, you would be incorrect. It is true that there are nine planets, but there are many more worlds. In fact altogether there are over worlds in the Solar System. Some are moons, and some are planets, but all are exciting. Many people think that moons are smaller than planets. This however is not true. There are several moons in the Solar System which are larger than both the planets Mercury, and Pluto. Neither are the moons less exciting then the planets. There are moons with volcanos, atmospheres, and even quite possibly liquid water oceans. The difference between what we call a moon, and what we call a planet has to do only with around what the world revolves, or circles. If the object circles the Sun it is called a Planet, however if it circles another world instead of the sun then it is called a moon. Moons sadly are often ignored, even though they are just as large splendid and exciting as the planets. Click on a planet to learn about its moons Neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons.

Lemonick surveys the scientists and the science involved in the topic that most energizes popular interest in astronomy: the possibility of life beyond Earth. The topic is now more interesting than ever because of the solid facts about planets orbiting nearby stars, and, closer to home, the frenzy about life on Mars or the Jovian moon Europa. Recently the discovery of the planets was revisited in two quality book-length presentations ( Planet Quest by Ken Croswell [BKL Aug 97] and Worlds Unnumbered Are We Alone?

http://www.physics.carleton.ca/courses/astronomy/PHYS1901.HTM

Extractions: Course Outline This course covers many topics. It will start with an overview of the sky's appearance to the unaided eye - as it was viewed by observers over the past 5,000 years. We'll explore our own planet and the qualities of the Earth that make it unique with an oxygen rich atmosphere, water and life. We'll learn how these are inextricably linked. We will then move outward from the Earth to the other planets. You will be introduced to strange new worlds. With the help of your mind's eye and with the help of many pictures, you will see the planets of our solar system. These planets and their moons will be described and compared to reveal profound patterns in nature's puzzle. Numerous pictures from Earth-based telescopes and from spacecraft will show the stark and bizarre beauty of these alien worlds. This information will then be used to deduce how our solar system formed and how it has evolved. If there is some extra time available during the last lecture of the first term, we will explore the facts and fantasy regarding life on other worlds. The result of this exploration may surprise you.
