Re: Planetary orbit distances.

The ratio of .9 and derivatives is also the undelying mathematical structure of the designs known as crop circles. http://i58.tinypic.com/2qan1jo.jpg The center above is matched to a series of circles reducing at .9487. This is typical - the ratio in one form, one context, or another is easily measu...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

Correction: 'That means the aphelions and perihelions are at .974 increments.' - should read "... .924 increments".

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

The mean distance of the orbit of Vesta is .8538 that of Ceres. 2.766 x .8538= 2.361AU. http://i61.tinypic.com/2rqm1w5.jpg That means the aphelions and perihelions are at .974 increments. http://i59.tinypic.com/2sbop6w.jpg There is an overlap between the aphelion of Vesta and the perihelion of Ceres...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

When reducing from the 10 x 10 square, the 6 x 6 square becomes .6. .6x.6 =.36 so that's a 36th. .6561x.6561 =.43 so that's a 43rd. The 1x1 square is 1% of the 10x10 square and any number between 1-100 will express the diminishing radiance strength as long as the inverse square is taken.

If I take the squares that are generated by the inverse square law increments, I eventually wind up with a square measuring 10 x10 surrounding a square measuring 9 x9. To calibrate to .9 ratio, this is repeated to the center.

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

geckzilla, There are at least a thousand planetary orbits that I have yet to even see. As I view them I realise things that I hadn't thought of. As an example, it looks like the eccentricities enjoy a logarithmic increase that ties in to the orbital ratios somehow. If this process continues, who kno...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

The perihelion of Mercury is at .43 of the distance to the perihelion of Venus from the sun. The square root of .43 is .6561 which is the aphelion circle of the Mercury orbit. The Mercury orbit aphelion is then the logarithmic halfway point between the perihelion of Mercury and the perihelion of Ven...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

http://i58.tinypic.com/23upo2p.jpg .8538 x .8538 = .729. In an orbit where the perihelion is at .729 to the aphelion, the square root of that, and therefore orbit minor axis, will be at .8538 of the aphelion. Such is the case with HD 143361 b. There were five other orbits at these proportions found...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

In a survey of one hundred extra-solar orbits it was found that the orbits tend to come in groups. The following have the same proportions as Ceres in terms of heliocentricity and eccentricity. http://i59.tinypic.com/2vteh5s.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/aagky9.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/17al92.jpg The...

Re: Planetary orbit distances.

http://i60.tinypic.com/5wfdyt.jpg The orbit minor axis of HD 7449 c aligns to the aphelion distance of HD 7449 b. Once again, that's the square root of the distance between the aphelion and perihelion. .5455 x.5455 = .297. http://i58.tinypic.com/xqevk6.jpg The drop from aphelion to perihelion of HD...

Planetary orbit distances.

Hello Recently I tried charting planetary orbits by aligning circles, centered exactly on the star, to the distances of the aphelions and perihelions. Here's an example: http://i62.tinypic.com/o9pgcx.jpg What you see, in gray, are the actual planetary orbits. The dotted line circles are the aphelion...
