Canonical Source · peer reviewed study
This page documents how this source is reused across Claim by Claim. A source can support, challenge, qualify or contextualize different claims; appearing here does not imply endorsement of every linked proposition.
Evidence context
Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.
Investigation
Historical eclipses constrain Earth's rotation from 720 BCE onward and show gradual change rather than the large discontinuity needed to alter a year from 360 to roughly 365.24 days.
Investigation
Historical eclipse analysis reconstructs changes in Earth's rotation from 720 BCE onward without a large abrupt rotational reorientation.
Investigation
Eclipse records beginning around 720 BCE constrain Earth's rotation across the claimed period and do not show a close-encounter discontinuity.
Long-horizon future instability models and eclipse-based rotation since 720 BCE do not directly measure or validate a Mars–Earth approach in the eighth–seventh centuries BCE.
Per-source study access and uncertainty documented in B09 R02–R03; not independent direct verification of the overarching historical event.
Investigation
Eclipse records from 720 BCE onward track comparatively gradual changes in Earth's rotation, not a discontinuity from a catastrophic planetary passage.
Historical eclipse and occultation observations constrain Earth rotation from 720 BCE onward, whereas fitted ancient ephemerides are computed orbital models, not observed ancient close-pass distances.
Per-source study access and uncertainty documented in B09 R02–R03; not independent direct verification of the overarching historical event.
Investigation
Historical eclipse analysis reconstructs Earth's rotational history and provides no evidence for a catastrophic stop or major discontinuity in the relevant era.
