A Story of the Planet Venus

What About the Moon?

In all of the fore-going details on the Venus Comet, the author has refrained from asking one particular question and its supplementary query.

How was our Moon affected by these Venus Comet engagements?

Has it always been a satellite of Earth?

While this document has not examined the history of that mini-planet, the author has seen reference to it being in Earth’s sky in various “histories”, and is convinced that it has been a part of our world for a long time. He does not know of any “mythology” that describes it becoming part of our world. Nor has he seen any mention that could suggest the Moon coming nearer to or going further from the Earth. As mentioned elsewhere in this book, the NOAA Greenland Ice Sampling Project (GISP2) indicates that the Venus Comet was coming close enough to the Earth 50,000 Years Ago, to leave its particles in the ice record.

Physically, the planet Venus could pass between the Moon and the Earth without making contact. Depending on the attractive forces at play on the Comet portion, the Moon and perhaps the Earth might be enveloped by the Comet cloud. That the Comet became fiery proves that it passed through Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere. That atmosphere does not extend out far enough so as to include the Moon. Therefore the Venus Comet must have passed the Earth within the radius of the Moon's orbit. Additionally the Venus Comet crossed the Moon's orbit twice each time it visited the sun and interacted with the Earth.

The author has not discovered any reference that mentions the Moon and the Venus Comet interacting. He expects that such an event would be masked from the Earth by the size of Venus and its fiery "Comet". A survivor's story would be focused on what happened on Earth. The multitude of marks on the Moon can neither be accepted nor dismissed as having been caused by debris that accompanied the Comet. That having been said, he recommends that the Moon and any samples from it be examined for Venusian debris as discussed in Appendix 5  -  Venus and Platinum?  Does the moon dust have elevated platinum levels like the particles in the Greenland Glacier Ice samples? We may well find that our "Local" Earth / Moon combination has a more complex heritage than we imagined !
