The problem with moving it to General Science is that the people who most need to read this would never look there for it.

Interesting post Tim. I picked up a book on Solar astronomy this weekend and it said pretty much of the same about the history of solar models, in particular that there is not much before the 19th century. No idea where Michael Mozina got his "Galileo gas model" from. (I notice that he no longer uses that phrase here.)
