Venus And Mercury Per Martineau (cards)
by BruceRawles
This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". Tiled, mirrored images of Mercury's surface features (colorized three different ways) form the background. Three circles, whose centers are the vertices of an equilateral triangle, define an outer circle which exactly fits around the three (the orbit of Venus) and an inner circle which exactly touches the three vertices (the orbit of Mercury).

This image was inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau, in "A Little Book of Coincidence". Five tiled spiral galactic (NGC300) planes form the background. The perigee and apogee relationship between Earth and Venus is described by a nested pentagram pair. The orbit of Venus is represented by the larger sphere (with the Sun in its center), and smaller sphere has the Earth at its center. The five inner spheres just fit inside the outer circle to touch the inner sphere. The radius ratio of outer circle to smaller circle is phi ** 4. Spheres are used to represent the circles for artistic effect, and the outermost five 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):
