Venus And Mercury Per Martineau Posters 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). Spheres are used to represent the circles for artistic effect. More info: http://www.intent.com 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)
