Italian Royal Astronomer Predicts Earth Shaped by Planets
Messina hinges on a forecast by Frank Alvord Perret of Brooklyn, honorary director of the Royal Observatory Mount Vesuvius, who warns that within three days the sun and planets will pull Earth toward an oblong form causing shocks and possible volcanic or seismic activity. He asserts positions of the sun, moon, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will strain Earth, shifting it from a sphere to an ellipse and increasing risk of major disturbances. The analyst also notes a favorable period for eruptions on Sept 29 and cautions that the effects, though smaller, may combine with solar forces to trouble the crust.
