21. The Nine Planets general information, some statistical data and links. http://www.seds.org/billa/tnp/sol.html

The Nine Planets A Multimedia Tour of the Solar System by Bill Arnett The Nine Planets is an overview of the history, mythology, and current scientific knowledge of each of the planets and moons in our solar system. Each page has text and images, some have sounds and movies, most provide references to additional related information. All of the planets can be seen with a small telescope; most can be seen with binoculars. And large telescopes continue to provide much useful information. But the possibility of getting up close with interplanetary spacecraft has revolutionized planetary science. Very little of this site would have been possible without the space program. Nevertheless, there's a lot that you can see with very modest equipment or even with just your own eyes. Past generations of people found beauty and a sense of wonder contemplating the night sky. Today's scientific knowledge further enhances and deepens that experience. And you can share in it by simply going out in the evening and looking up Contents Hardcopy The New Solar System Summarizes what we've learned from interplanetary explorations in the last 25 years.

To Netnews Homepage Previous Next Index ... Table of Contents Esoteric Astrology - The Nature of Esoteric Astrology - Spiritual Effects of the Zodiacal Constellations Because of its position upon the Fixed Cross, Leo comes under the influence, direct or indirect, of six planets: The Sun; Neptune; Uranus; Jupiter; Venus; Mars. All of these are potent in expression in this sign, achieving a determined point of revelation and producing, through their united activity and interplay, the six-pointed star of humanity. They condition the man's consciousness but not The squares or quaternaries relate to material appearance or form expression; the stars concern the states of consciousness, and the triangles The relation of Leo to Cancer, through Neptune, has already been touched upon above and is, of course, easily apparent to you if you have the slightest understanding of the consciousness aspect of evolution. There is, first of all, the mass consciousness; then the consciousness of the dramatic, isolated self, and finally again group consciousness, which is, in reality, the highest forms of group consciousness and individual consciousness combined together in the service of the Plan. Reflect on this definition, for it will stimulate you to understanding. The peculiar significance of Leo in the general evolution of consciousness, particularly in the human family, is determined by the control of those two mysterious planets, Uranus and Neptune; in the man who is ready for initiation you have, therefore, a dual control, i.e., the Sun itself and also the Sun as it veils the influences of these two planets, or rather, as it focuses and transmits them with intensity. This produces the following developments:

Neptune The Mystic Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and the fourth largest (by diameter). Neptune is smaller in diameter but larger in mass than Uranus orbit : 4,504,000,000 km (30.06 AU ) from Sun diameter : 49,532 km (equatorial) mass : 1.0247e26 kg Hardcopy The New Solar System Summarizes what we've learned from interplanetary explorations in the last 25 years. My primary reference for The Nine Planets Encyclopedia of the Solar System A more scholarly introduction the planetary science for those who want to dig a little deeper. The Compact NASA Atlas of the Solar System This 'road map' of the solar system contains lots of maps and data as well as photos. In Roman mythology Neptune (Greek: Poseidon ) was the god of the Sea. After the discovery of Uranus, it was noticed that its orbit was not as it should be in accordance with Newton 's laws. It was therefore predicted that another more distant planet must be perturbing Uranus' orbit. Neptune was first observed by Galle and d'Arrest on 1846 Sept 23 very near to the locations independently predicted by Adams and Le Verrier from calculations based on the observed positions of Jupiter Saturn and Uranus . An international dispute arose between the English and French (though not, apparently between Adams and Le Verrier personally) over priority and the right to name the new planet; they are now jointly credited with Neptune's discovery. Subsequent observations have shown that the orbits calculated by Adams and Le Verrier diverge from Neptune's actual orbit fairly quickly. Had the search for the planet taken place a few years earlier or later it would not have been found anywhere near the predicted location.

If so, are they habitable, and is life as we know it present there? SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION Our solar system exists. This is an irrefutable fact. Because of our solar systems existence, the question that begets itself time and time again is whether or not planets exist around stars other than our own. Based on the size of our universe and the laws of probability, the odds are excellent that our solar system is not unique in the universe. To better appreciate the odds, it is useful to consider the size of the universe . At the present time it is estimated that 50 billion galaxies , the largest of which contain thousands of billions of stars, are visible to modern telescopes including the

Frequently Asked Questions About General Astronomy Compiled by Dr. John Simonetti of the Department of Physics at Virginia Tech Back to Frequently Asked Astronomy and Physics Questions Do all objects in the universe exert force on all other objects? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Do the orbits of any of our nine planets change, or do the planets always follow the same paths? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Are the planets in our solar system likely to be destroyed when the sun finally burns out, and will they be destroyed by a nuclear explosion or just drift off without the sun's gravitational pull? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 I looked around on the Internet but could not find a chart showing years and number of sunspots. Do you know where I might find this information? PM, 9th grade, Blacksburg High School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Do all objects in the universe exert force on all other objects? All objects in the universe exert a gravitational force on all others. But, the farther away an object is, the smaller is the force it exerts. (The force is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the object: e.g., twice as far away means only 1/4 the amount of force). Furthermore, the more massive the object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects (e.g., twice the mass means twice the force). So nearby, massive objects, dominate the gravitational force on something.

39. Jupiter: General Features general Features of Jupiter It is the most massive planet, being 318 times as massiveas the Earth, and about 2 1/2 times the mass of all other planets combined http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/jupiter/features.html

General Features of Jupiter The planet Jupiter is 5.2 A.U. from the Sun on average, which corresponds to an orbital period of 11.9 Earth years. It is the most massive planet, being 318 times as massive as the Earth, and about 2 1/2 times the mass of all other planets combined. Jupiter is massive because it has a large diameter (11.2 times that of Earth). Its density is only 1.33 g/cc, which is 1/4 that of Earth, and only slightly more than the 1 g/cc characteristic of water. This very low density compared with the terrestrial planets is because it is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, in ratios similar to that found in stars (approximately 82% hydrogen and 17% helium by mass). Furthermore, Jupiter is almost entirely gas and liquid. Therefore, Jupiter and the related planets Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are sometimes called Gas Giants (these are also called the Jovian Planets , since Jove was another name for Jupiter). We guess that Jupiter probably has a small rocky core comparable in size to terrestrial planets and perhaps with a similar composition, but we have no direct evidence of this. Because Jupiter is not solid its parts do not rotate at exactly the same velocity. However, measurements of the rotation of the magnetic field give a rotation period of 9 hours and 55 minutes. This rapid rotation and the gas and liquid structure give rise to a pronounced equatorial bulge that is evident in images such as the adjacent one.

40. General Features Of Pluto general Features of Pluto led to some speculation that Pluto is not really a planetbut instead an escaped moon of one of the gas giant planets, most likely http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/pluto/features.html

General Features of Pluto Pluto is on a highly elliptical orbit at an average separation of almost 40 A. U. from the Sun, with an orbital period of 248 years. Since the planet was only discovered in 1930, we have observed only a portion of its orbit so far. Further, the orbit is tilted by about 17 degrees relative to the plane of the ecliptic, much more than for any other planet. Its equatorial radius of 1150 km is only 20% of that of the Earth, and its mass is only 0.0025 that of the Earth. Thus, it is by far the smallest planet, either in mass or diameter. Its period of rotation appears to be almost 6 1/2 days. The 9th Planet or the 8th Planet? Because of the eccentricity of Pluto's orbit, its orbit lies inside that of Neptune for the period from 1979 to 1999. Thus, strictly, Pluto isn't even the most distant planet at present, as illustrated in the following diagram. Of course, we term it the 9th planet because its average separation from the Sun (length of semimajor axis) is greater than that for Neptune. What is Pluto?
