No, the atmosphere has nothing to do with it! The atmosphere protects us from fireballs that measure a few tens of meters in diameter. What can a film of gas equivalent to 10 meters of water (our atmosphere, if we condense it) do against a celestial body 100 or 1000 kilometers in diameter? With events of this intensity, nuclear reactions in condensed matter are triggered, which further increases the intensity of the catastrophe. After plasma recombination, the whole planet is nothing more than a surface lava field.
But in the deeps, scars remain forever.
Upon our planet, circular scars reside,
Battles of gods, where wounds reside.
Athena and Neptune, in ages past,
Engaged in combat, a saga vast.
Emerging periodically,
from Jupiter's thigh, (
Serapis' thigh, our Ursa Major, the sky),
Planet Athena, Neptune's size akin,
Orbiting the Sun, a path yet unseen.
Beyond the ecliptic,
her course unfurled,
Undetected, a mystery in the celestial world
. The James Webb Telescope, by Ariane V's flight
, Infrared rays, revealing her light.
Athena's perigee, closer once in time,
Uranus and Neptune, t
heir fate entwined.
Neptune's orbit, by Athena's force,
Transferring energy,
a cosmic discourse.
Uranus, distant planet,
in that ancient age,
Beyond its realm, a belt's celestial stage.
Hippolyta, mighty among those spheres,
Amazonian planet, as Mars appears.
Gradually, Athena embarked on her quest,
Neptune expelled, into cosmic depths abreast.
Within the Amazonian belt's vast domain,
Scattering its remnants, throughout cosmic terrain.
A massive bombardment, an onslaught dire,
Shattering Earth, Mars, and Venus' fire.
From Hippolyta's belt,
Kuiper's remnants remain,
Scars etched on Moon and Earth's terrain.
Venus bears "Coronaes,"
remnants of old,
Diadems of love,
a story yet untold.
On Mars, icy moraines,
permafrost's embrace,
Conceal scars beneath,
in frozen grace.
On the Moon,
the "seas" traversed by heroes bold,
Echoes of an epic,
in lunar tales told.
Pyramid builders,
the ancient scribes,
Passed down this saga,
to Greek tribes.
How did this titan battle,
ages ago,
Echo through time,
in whispers' flow?
A mystery unveiled,
though partially perceived,
"Mondes en Collision"
foresaw, yet believed.
Emmanuel Velikovsky,
in his anachronistic gaze,
Mistaken in time, by billions of years.
Setting aside Athena's hypothetical might,
And the Amazonian belt, a poet's delight,
Uranus and Neptune's migration
we now embrace,
The "Nice Model" reveals
the solar system's grace.
Born from silicon simulations,
this authoritative guide,
Evolving with knowledge,
as the stars collide.
