Thereby Hangs a Tail Posted on December 17, 2014 by Rens van der Sluijs -----Venus was once observed to have changed its orbit. Par for the course, for this interpretation overlooks a crucial aspect of Augustine’s testimony, which is rarely – if ever – mentioned: “the altered course of Venus did not long continue, but the usual course was resumed”. If the planet’s features returned to the status quo ante within the time frame of a few years at most, a true modification of its orbit is of course highly implausible.------ Venus’ ionosphere under normal solar wind pressure (left) and extremely low solar wind pressure (right).
