Venus and Earth Orbits Per Martineau This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". The orbital relationship between Earth and Venus is described by two concentric circles. The inner circle represents the orbit of Venus which passes through the centers of 8 circles that just touch each other. The outer circle represents the orbit of Earth which touches the outer sides of these 8 circles. The accuracy of this relationship is 99.99% ! More info: http://www.intent.com Tiled colorized planes of the magma of Venus (shifted in 90 degree increments of hue) form the background. Spheres are used to represent the circles for artistic effect, and the outermost eight spheres are decorative only. 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): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0802713882/intent-20 (Created with POV-Ray http://www.povray.org)
