This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". With tiled planes of flora and fauna motifs in the background, an icosahedron (20 triangles, Plato's symbol for water) defines 12 spheres that exactly touch. The centers of these define the orbit of Earth (blue) and outside all is the orbit of Mars (red). More info: http://www.intent.com

This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". With tiled planes of flora (a Hawaiian plant swirled within a honeycomb grid)
and fauna (Chambered Nautilus) motifs in the background, an icosahedron (20 triangles, Plato's symbol for water) defines 12 spheres that exactly touch. The centers of these define the orbit of Earth (blue) and outside all is the orbit of Mars (red). www.intent.com for details.
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):
