"Current theory holds that Venus initially spun in the same direction as most other planets and, in a way, still does: it simply flipped its axis 180 degrees at some point..."

Footnotes

Hebrew את שני המארת הגדלים. eternal self second the Luminary of the Great Ones. As noted in the previous verse (v14), המארת "ha'me'arot" is a feminine word for "light" with a definite article here. שני can be either two or second. Here it refers to the second one as in the previous "second day." 

32

Hebrew הקטן, ha-qaton. Strong’s #6996. From the root qatan (#6994, 6962), to cut short, cut off, abridge, crop, pare. Cf. Gesenius and Fuerst. Interpreted as “young” or “small”. Hence the “little finger” in 1 Kin. 12:10 is properly the small finger and likely means the thumb. This noun is mostly used of younger or youngest builders [sons] and built-ones [daughters], i.e. “We have a small [qaton] sister…” Song of Solomon 8:8. This is not the normal word for “small/little”, but speaks of something cut short.

“But you are not thus, yet the greater-one in you -- become as the small-one; and the one leading, as the one serving.” Luke 22:26 RBT

34

Strong’s #3556, ha-Kokavim. The round ones, balls, globes. From an unused root kavav meaning to be round, circular. Cf. Gesenius, Fuerst. One would think that a different root would be used, related to fire, sparks, or light.
