Remember the original COSMOS, when Sagan was spending a few minutes eviscerating Velikovsky? Who envisioned Venus having been ejected from Jupiter and somehow assuming a nearly circular orbit in its current position? Sagan walked up to a gigantic model of Jupiter, opened up the Red Spot (it was on a hinge) and pulled out a model of Venus and walked away with it. Starmaker is just deranged enough to have mistaken this demonstration of what never happened for a prophecy of what's about to happen. As for the colors of planets (as seen through atmosphrere from Earth, mind you), there used to be a saying among classic (I mean Greco-Roman times), that three astronomical objects shone red: Sirius, Mars, and Jupiter (but not as red) Sirius is certainly not red today, and current astrophysics has no explanation for a star turning from bright red to bright blue-white. If ever I meet an astrophysicist, I'll ask him/her, "What's your hypothesis," and if the answer is "I haven't got one," I'll take that as an honest answer. -- Dorothy J.
