This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". Tiled, mirrored images of Saturns's rings (colorized three different ways) form the background. Three concentric circles, define the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. The innermost (Jupiter) touches 8 middle points of an octagram. The outermost octagram points define Saturn's orbit. The circle around an equilateral triangle around Saturn defines Uranus.

This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". Tiled, mirrored images of Saturns's rings (colorized three different ways) form the background. Three concentric circles, define the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.
The innermost (Jupiter's orbit) touches the 8 points of contact of the
next-to-outermost points of a stellated octagon (extending the sides of
an octagon to the point where the they just meet at obtuse angles). The
outermost points (further extending the octagon sides to where they meet
at acute angles) define the orbit of Saturn. Circumscribing an equilateral
triangle around this circle, then another circle around the triangle defines
the orbit of Uranus.
Spheres are used to represent the circles for artistic effect.

I think John Martineau's name will (some day, hopefully soon!) be heralded among Kepler, Galileo, Newton and Einstein for the astronomical discoveries he's made. Here's a link to John's book if you haven't seen it (HIGHLY recommended):
