Venus and Earth Orbits Per Martineau Poster
by BruceRawles
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% !

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):
