CHAPTER II

ASTRONOMY

(The word "vapor" used in general for water, ice, atmosphere, etc.)

1.

Space without beginning or end, filled with unmaterial and material

life. The material is in motion by the currents of unmaterial life.

2.

The material is in perfect bodies, imperfect bodies, and

unconcentrated material.

3.

Perfect bodies group into constellation, called sun's planets,

planetoids, and moons.

4.

Imperfect bodies are comets, called periodic and parabolic comets.

5.

Unconcentrated material called Milky Ways, and rings such as are

around Saturn.

6.

The unmaterial life currents run in every conceivable manner. I will

call the currents carrying constellation sun currents, planet

currents, planetoid currents, moon currents, and comet currents,

respectively.

Milky ways eddys.

7.

Saturn is the only body we know which has an unconcentrated obsequious

attendant. Such rings may appear around constellations, planets,

moons, etc.

These rings can be accounted for in two ways,--first, the material

never being concentrated; second, by two or more bodies coming

together and throwing the bodies into atoms.

8.

Suck, or Nebula, currents form in the Milky ways (the same as two or

more currents of air coming together and making a whirlwind), which

concentrates the material into bodies, thus forming constellations and

comets; also rings such as are around Saturn.

If a constellation is formed its current is called sun current, and

here it continues to whirl with all its subordinate currents, planet,

planetoid, and moon.

9.

Comets are caused by sun currents' pressure forcing the suck currents

at a great speed, and forces the comet current to pass through sun

currents. Some comets pass in and out of their sun currents at

regular intervals and are called periodic, i.e., its orbit is an

ellipse.

Comets that are parabolic will never return to their starting point

and travel wild.

10.

Bodies may be destroyed by suck currents carrying bodies in collision

with each other; if the bodies are equal size, will throw the material

into atoms. If a small and large body come in collision the small

body will bury itself in the greater. Bodies thrown into atoms, the

atoms may continue to be carried by its respective current (as rings

around Saturn), or the atoms may be forced beyond its current and pass

as shooting stars to other bodies or milky ways.

11.

Nebula is the suck current in the process of condensing material into

bodies. Can be seen in Milky Way with naked eve.
