57:5.1 5,000,000,000 years ago your [[sun]] was a [[comparatively]] [[isolated]] blazing orb, having gathered to itself most of the near-by [[circulating]] [[matter]] of [[space]], remnants of the recent [[upheaval]] which attended its own [[birth]].

57:5.2 Today, your [[sun]] has achieved [[relative]] [[stability]], but its eleven and one-half year [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Sunspots_and_the_sunspot_cycle sunspot cycles] betray that it was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_star variable star] in its [[youth]]. In the early days of your [[sun]] the continued contraction and consequent [[gradual]] increase of [[temperature]] initiated tremendous convulsions on its [[surface]]. These titanic heaves required three and one-half days to complete a [[cycle]] of varying brightness. This variable state, this periodic [[pulsation]], rendered your sun highly [[responsive]] to certain outside influences which were to be shortly encountered.

57:5.3 Thus was the [[stage]] of local space set for the [[unique]] [[origin]] of ''Monmatia'', that being the [[name]] of your [[sun]]'s [[planetary]] [[family]], the [[solar system]] to which your world belongs. Less than one per cent of the [[planetary]] [[systems]] of [[Orvonton]] have had a similar [[origin]].

57:5.4 4,500,000,000 years ago the enormous ''Angona'' system began its approach to the [[neighborhood]] of this [[solitary]] [[sun]]. The [[center]] of this great system was a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Black_Hole dark giant] of [[space]], solid, highly charged, and [[possessing]] tremendous [[gravity]] pull.

57:5.5 As ''Angona'' more closely approached the [[sun]], at [[moments]] of maximum expansion during solar [[pulsations]], [[streams]] of [[gaseous]] [[material]] were shot out into [[space]] as gigantic solar tongues. At first these flaming [[gas]] tongues would invariably fall back into the [[sun]], but as ''Angona'' drew nearer and nearer, the [[gravity]] pull of the gigantic [[visitor]] became so great that these tongues of [[gas]] would break off at certain points, the [[roots]] falling back into the [[sun]] while the outer sections would become detached to [[form]] [[independent]] bodies of [[matter]], [[solar]] [[meteorites]], which [[immediately]] started to [[Orbit|revolve]] about the [[sun]] in [[elliptical]] orbits of their own.

57:5.6 As the Angona system drew nearer, the [[solar]] extrusions grew larger and larger; more and more [[matter]] was drawn from the [[sun]] to become [[independent]] [[circulating]] bodies in [[surrounding]] [[space]]. This situation [[developed]] for about five hundred thousand years until Angona made its closest approach to the [[sun]]; whereupon the sun, in conjunction with one of its periodic internal convulsions, [[experienced]] a partial [[Explosion|disruption]]; from [[opposite]] sides and [[simultaneously]], enormous volumes of [[matter]] were disgorged. From the Angona side there was drawn out a vast column of [[solar]] [[gases]], rather pointed at both ends and markedly bulging at the [[center]], which became permanently detached from the [[immediate]] [[gravity]] [[control]] of the [[sun]].

57:5.7 This great column of [[solar]] [[gases]] which was thus separated from the [[sun]] subsequently evolved into the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_system twelve] [[planets]] of the [[solar system]]. The repercussional ejection of [[gas]] from the [[opposite]] side of the [[sun]] in [[tidal]] [[sympathy]] with the extrusion of this gigantic [[solar system]] [[ancestor]], has since [[condensed]] into the [[meteors]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_dust space dust] of the [[solar system]], although much, very much, of this [[matter]] was subsequently recaptured by solar [[gravity]] as the Angona system receded into remote [[space]].

57:5.8 Although Angona succeeded in drawing away the [[ancestral]] [[material]] of the [[solar system]] [[planets]] and the enormous volume of [[matter]] now [[circulating]] about the [[sun]] as [[asteroids]] and [[meteors]], it did not [[secure]] for itself any of this solar [[matter]]. The visiting system did not come quite close enough to actually steal any of the sun's substance, but it did swing sufficiently close to draw off into the [[intervening]] [[space]] all of the [[material]] comprising the [[present]]-day [[solar system]].

57:5.9 The five [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System#Inner_planets inner] and five [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System#Outer_planets outer] [[planets]] soon formed in miniature from the cooling and condensing [[nucleus]]es in the less massive and tapering ends of the gigantic [[gravity]] bulge which ''Angona'' had succeeded in detaching from the [[sun]], while [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn Saturn] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter Jupiter] were formed from the more massive and bulging [[central]] portions. The [[powerful]] [[gravity]] pull of Jupiter and Saturn early captured most of the [[material]] stolen from ''Angona'' as the retrograde [[motion]] of certain of their [[satellites]] bears [[witness]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter#Classification_of_moons].

57:5.10 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter Jupiter] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn Saturn], being derived from the very [[center]] of the enormous column of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_weapon superheated][http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-9951.html] [[solar]] [[gases]], contained so much highly heated [[sun]] [[material]] that they shone with a brilliant light and emitted enormous volumes of [[heat]]; they were in [[reality]] secondary suns for a short period after their formation as separate [[space]] bodies. These two largest of the [[solar system]] [[planets]] have remained largely [[gaseous]] to this day, not even yet having cooled off to the point of complete [[condensation]] or [[Solid|solidification]].

57:5.11 The [[gas]]-contraction [[nucleus]]es of the other ten soon reached the [[stage]] of [[solidification]] and so began to draw to themselves increasing [[quantities]] of the [[meteoric]] [[matter]] [[circulating]] in near-by [[space]]. The worlds of the [[solar system]] thus had a double [[origin]]: [[nucleus]]es of [[gas]] [[condensation]] later on augmented by the capture of enormous [[quantities]] of [[meteors]]. Indeed they still continue to capture meteors, but in greatly lessened [[numbers]].

57:5.12 The [[planets]] do not swing around the [[sun]] in the [http://www.reference.com/browse/equatorial+plane equatorial plane] of their [[solar]] [[mother]], which they would do if they had been thrown off by [[solar]] [[revolution]][http://www.pdfdownload.org/pdf2html/pdf2html.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww34.homepage.villanova.edu%2Frobert.jantzen%2Fresearch%2Farticles%2Fembed.pdf&images=yes]. Rather, they travel in the plane of the Angona solar extrusion, which existed at a considerable [[angle]] to the [[plane]] of the [[sun]]'s [[equator]].

57:5.13 While Angona was unable to capture any of the [[solar]] [[mass]], your sun did add to its [[metamorphosing]] [[planetary]] [[family]] some of the [[circulating]] [[space]] [[material]] of the visiting system. Due to the [[intense]] [[gravity]] field of Angona, its tributary planetary family pursued [[orbits]] of considerable distance from the [[Black Hole|dark giant]]; and shortly after the extrusion of the [[solar system]] [[ancestral]] [[mass]] and while Angona was yet in the vicinity of the [[sun]], three of the major planets of the Angona system swung so near to the massive solar system ancestor that its [[gravitational]] pull, augmented by that of the [[sun]], was sufficient to overbalance the gravity grasp of Angona and to permanently detach these three tributaries of the [[celestial]] wanderer.

57:5.14 All of the [[solar system]] [[material]] derived from the [[sun]] was originally [[endowed]] with a [[homogeneous]] direction of orbital swing, and had it not been for the intrusion of these three foreign [[space]] bodies, all [[solar system]] [[material]] would still maintain the same direction of [[orbital]] [[Motion|movement]]. As it was, the impact of the three Angona tributaries injected new and foreign directional [[forces]] into the [[emerging]] [[solar system]] with the resultant [[appearance]] of retrograde [[motion]]. [[Retrograde motion]] in any [[astronomic]] [[system]] is always [[accidental]] and always appears as a result of the collisional impact of foreign [[space]] bodies. Such collisions may not always produce retrograde motion, but no retrograde ever appears except in a system containing [[masses]] which have [[diverse]] [[origins]].
