Clube and Napier proposed in 'The Cosmic Serpent' (1982) that a giant comet captured into the inner solar system underwent hierarchical fragmentation producing the Taurid complex.

The Sun is about 400 times larger than the Moon and about 400 times farther away, producing near-perfect total eclipses - one of Jesse's 'weird coincidences' about the Moon.

the distance between you have a proportional relationship between diameters and distance. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon and 400 times farther away.

Marine geology shows overwhelming evidence of major subsidence on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, concentrated along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - Carlson's physical case for a sunken landmass.

The Moon's two moments of inertia show it failed to deform into the least-energy sphere its mass requires - Randall Carlson's structural anomaly argument.
