Description:

Velikovsky's 'Worlds in Collision' introduced the theory that Venus began as a comet ejected by Jupiter around 1600 BCE, wreaking chaos on Mars and Earth as it roamed through our solar system prior to settling into its current orbit. This theory is now poised for reexamination in light of recent findings.
