You could throw a baseball into orbit around Phobos!! …And even catch it as it comes around again!! Here is more detail: “Phobos is the larger of the two and only about 10 miles in diameter. Since Phobos has so little mass, its gravity is minuscule. In fact, you could pick up a baseball and toss it into orbit around Phobos. And, if you threw it just right, you could turn around and catch it as it completed a loop!5 …Were they once asteroids that...
Read MoreTotal Chaos – The mystery of Pluto’s moons
“This is another topic that Cox avoided, so we will deal with it briefly. Pluto has five moons named Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. Charon rotates once per lap (because it is gravitationally locked to Pluto), Styx rotates 6.22 times, Nix 13.6 times, Kerberos 6.04 times, but Hydra rotates an amazing 88.9 times per lap. Nix rotates retrograde, i.e. backwards against its orbit. Also Nix is tilted on its axis by 132 degrees. Such ‘chaos’ totally...
Read MorePlanetary Rings – Problematic for the Billions-of-Years Models!
I tried to limit the size of this post (HA!) – but there were some great excerpts from the following article. Enjoy! “The theory that explained how Saturn’s rings could persist through 4.6 billion years of solar system evolution also explained why Saturn was the only planet that could have a ring. Then those theories had to be revised to account for the rings of Uranus. The revisions implied that Jupiter would not have a ring. Now Jupiter has been found to have a...
Read MoreNo way to produce Uranus and Neptune!
“In naturalistic models, the farther a planet is from the middle of the nebular gas and dust cloud, the longer it would take for that planet to form. The alleged 4.5-billion-year age assigned to the solar system is not enough for the two most distant planets, Uranus and Neptune, to have formed in this way. Hence Uranus and Neptune both falsify the nebular hypothesis regarding their origin from it. One secularist astronomer has commented: “What is clear is that...
Read MoreUranus – Nearly Impossible to Explain Naturally!
Uranus – nearly impossible to explain naturally without a Designer/Creator! “Hannes Alfvén (Nobel prize winner in Physics, 1970) says: “[T]o place the Uranian satellites in their present (almost coplanar circular) orbits would require all the trajectory control sophistication of modern space technology. It is unlikely that any natural phenomenon, involving bodies emitted from Uranus, could have achieved this result.” So the evidence is that no hit occurred. But...
Read MoreHow do we explain Uranus??
What is the best and simplest explanation for Uranus?? (Remember Occam’s Razor – the simplest explanation is often the best) Uranus is assumed to have more Shepherd moons to keep its rings together or maybe the rings more simply indicate that Uranus is not billions of years old! “concerning the origin of Uranus, as we have previously said, from a practical point of view, expanding gases don’t reverse their expansion because of gravity, they...
Read MoreErupting over and over and over again!!
Could Io, one of Jupiter’s four brightest moons, be billions of years old?? “Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. One scientist, writing in the journal Science, calculated that if Io had been erupting over the assumed billions of years, at only 10% of its current rate, it would have erupted its entire mass 40 times over by now.” Read more here:...
Read MoreEnceladus – a Fountain of Youth!
There are active geyser’s going off shooting water and ice away from the surface of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. “But this is a huge mystery for evolutionists: how could such a small body be active for billions of years? Even tidal heating by Saturn would not stop it freezing solid after 30 million years—1% of its evolutionary age.” Read more about it here: https://creation.com/planets-saturn Picture from NASA/JPL/Caltech/Space Science...
Read MoreDoes the Evidence within Astronomy Fit with Billions of Years of Natural Changes?
“Consider the formation of stars, galaxies and our solar system. They supposedly formed from gas and dust clouds clumping together, rather than dispersing. But no model can successfully simulate this—and definitely not in a way that puts the sun rotating at 7° from the planets’ orbits in our star system. For almost every solar system body, the magnetic field strength is a surprise. Mercury shouldn’t have a magnetic field (but it does); surely Venus and Mars should...
Read MoreThe Moon: Critical to Life on Earth
In 1991 some scientists advocated blowing up the moon. According to Don DeYoung and John Whitcomb, in Our Created Moon, this idea originated with American math professor Alexander Abian. He believed that the destruction of the moon would eliminate severe climates and ultimately end world hunger. However, the situation is quite the opposite. DeYoung and Whitcomb say that without the moon, the earth’s axis would swing erratically due to the gravitational pull from other...
Read MoreThe Moon: Test Your Knowledge
Q: True or False? The age of moon rocks is what secular scientists use to determine the age of the solar system. A: True (and False). The assigned age of 4.6 billion years for the solar system is based on radioisotope study of moon rocks and meteorites. However, check our web (use the Discover Creation Search Engine) to understand the problems with these dating methods. Q: True or False? Most earth rocks tend to yield younger radioisotope ages than moon rocks. A: True....
Read MoreHints of Life on Saturn Moon
If you saw an article with this title, what would you think? Obviously, you’d think somebody had found evidence for life on one of Saturn’s moons. Well, the title is real. But its implication is not. The article appeared earlier this year in New Scientist [2], a respected scientific journal. It described an analysis of certain chemicals on Saturn’s moon Titan. The analysis did not reveal any evidence of life. Instead, evolutionists are speculating that...
