RE: My Walk in the Woods • part 2 • Massive Stonewalls
5 walls coming together somewhat like
the path, geometry Venus makes.
I've always wanted to do a post about that.. the 5-pointed Star that Venus and Earth create over an eight-year period.
Because of the Phi-relationship of Earth and Venus' orbital diameters and thus their synodic periods, a star shape is draw in the solar system.. whose vertices are the meeting points between the two planets. In other words, each time that Venus passing right between the Sun and Earth, for example, they will have this "meeting" again in 1.618 Earth years. This synodic period of 1.6, when viewed from above the solar system, results in the exact pattern that a child would draw when creating a 5-pointed star.
If you then fit that giant star shape within Earth's orbit (averaged into a circle) you'd find that the relative size of the orbit of Venus would fit precisely within the inner pentagon of the star thus created.
I've seen that with Venus, amazing the
geometry in Everything ⭐
I really like how you explained it!!
I do love geometry, astronomy and
geology and combining the ologies :-)

plus Venus is rotating the wrong way! although she follows Earth and the other planets around the Sun, she is rotating on her axis the opposite direction - very slowly.
Think I heard Uranus also is odd on its
axis, like things were bumped around
a bit out there, all them space rocks 💎
By chance did you see the transit of Venus?
no i didn't.. but yes, Uranus rotates on an axis that is almost 90 degress off from the rest of the planets.
y'know whatever solid mass that Jupiter might have beneath it's 1000s of miles of clouds is likely not much larger than the planet Earth. Same with the other "gas giants". ... and they give poor Pluto a hard time regarding it's planetary status!
Ever read Arthur C Clarke books? was something about
Jupiter having a diamond core 💎
Would a spark turn him into a sun?
Thought of when that probe was dropped into
it's gas layers.
Oh I did get to see Shoemaker Levy 9 crash into
Jupiter when in Germany with my telescope.
Now that was exciting! ☄
Poor Pluto, it is all because of Goofy ;-)
Yes but not that one... i remember reading Dolphin Island in ninth grade..
well with all that methane, and the intense radiation, one would think that Jupiter is a small brown dwarth "star" that just hasn't begun fusion.
Nice about Shoemaker Levy!
Yup Goofy ruined it for him!
There was a book and a movie called
Island of the blue dolphins, I really liked
when I was a kid. Recently found more
info on the ancient things found around
the channel islands off CA.
Is this the same you mentioned reading
in the 9th grade?
So many things I've heard about Jupiter,
including it could turn into a star, a sun.
Amazing stuff abounds all around :-)
yeah apparently Jupiter emits more radiation that it receives.. has it's own little "solar" system to boot.. prob has life in it's upper atmosphere not to mention Europa.
