In one sense, the creation of alchemy represented a step backward. The Egyptians had known seven metallic elements gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, lead, and mercury, which they associated with the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, respectively). The Greeks, however, failed to recognize them as distinct elements. According to the Aristotelian theory, the metals were mixtures of the traditional four elements. This idea seemed to... 

Why were there precisely six planets (Only Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and... 

These space-based observatories and a number of terrestrial observatories have produced a growing body of data about five of the planets in the solar system—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—as well as numerous other bodies, including comets, asteroids, and many planetary satellites, including our own Moon. 

The chapters in this part help fill in those blanks. Chapter 8 illuminates the Moon and the Nodes of the Moon in all 12 signs. Chapters 9 and 10 discuss Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — plus the asteroid Chiron, which was discovered in 1977 and is now routinely included in horoscopes by many astrologers. Chapter 11 talks about the Ascendant, and Chapter 12 describes the influence of the planets in each of the houses. Finally, Chapter 13 looks at the way the planets interact by analyzing the aspects, or geometrical relationships, that link them together. 

In Chapters 16, 17, and 18,1 tell you how to squeeze the maximum benefit out of astrology. Chapter 16 explains how the current positions of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto affect you — and what you can look forward to in the future. 

The sign that the Sun occupied at the moment of your birth is the most basic astrological fact about you. It defines your ego, motivations, needs, and approach to life. But the Sun isn t the only planet that affects you. (For astrological purposes, both luminaries — the Sun and the Moon — are called planets. Do yourself a favor and don t use this terminology when talking to astronomers.) Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, not to mention the Moon, represent distinct types of energy that express themselves in the style of the sign they re in. 

To ancient astrologers, that meant noting the positions of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn —the only planets visible from Earth. For thousands of years, stargazers assumed that there were no other planets. Then, in 1781, an amateur astronomer in England discovered another planet, and the race was on. Today, astronomers argue over how many planets there are in the solar system. Some claim there are only eight. Others insist there are 23 — and counting. The answer depends entirely on whom you ask. 

Astrologers regard those five planets, the ones you can see for yourself in the night sky (and sometimes during the day), as the ones with the most immediate impact on the individual. That s why Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are known as the personal planets. The outer planets, which aren t visible without a telescope, are less personality-driven and more generational in their effects (with exceptions that 1 note in Chapter 10). 

I consider the planets in this order first the Sun and Moon, then the planets in order of their distance from the Sun Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. When looking up an aspect, be sure to look for it under the planet that comes first in the list. An aspect between Mercury and Uranus, for example, appears under Mercury an opposition between Venus and Pluto is discussed under Venus, and so on. 

Mercury orbits closest to the sun, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Neptune is farthest from the Sun for 20 of every 248 years. Planets will never collide because one is always higher than the other, even when their orbits do intersect. 

Abstract. We present a historical review of polarimetric observations of planetary atmospheres, comets, atmosphereless solar system bodies, and terrestrial materials. We highlight the study of physical and optical parameters of planetary atmospheres. Polarimetric observations of the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have made it possible to determine the real part of the refractive index and the cumulative size distribution function for the constituent cloud layers. We describe a simple and reliable method of quantifying absorptive cloud layers of the giant planets and predict the vertical stracture of aerosol layers of planetaiy atmospheres based on the analysis of observational spectropolarimetric data of contours of molecular absorption bands at the center of the planetaiy disk. The method is effective only when experimental data exist in a broad interval of phase angles. Using this method we can determine aerosol sizes in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune. 

Until the summer of 2006, there were nine recognized planets in our solar system Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. These nine planets are divided into two groups based on distance from the sun. The inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Pluto s status as a planet is being reconsidered. 

Alkanes have the general molecular formula C 2n+i The simplest one, methane (CH4), is also the most abundant. Large amounts are present in our atmosphere, in the ground, and in the oceans. Methane has been found on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and even on Halley s Comet. About 2-8% of the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn s largest moon, is methane. When it rains on Titan, it rains methane. 

Copernicus believed that from the Sun outwards rotated Mercury, Venus, Earth (with the moon rotating around it). Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. This strange, new hypothesis wasn t well accepted since everyone knew that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Even the alchemists wondered how different metals might be affected. 

The retrieval method has been used extensively for temperature profile retrieval in both the terrestrial and other planetary atmospheres. Examples of profiles obtained by this technique for Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are shown in Fig. 8.2.2. Also included is a Titan profile obtained from radio occultation data. The profiles for Earth and Mars were derived from measurements obtained with the Fourier transform spectrometers carried on Nimbus 3, 4, and Mariner 9, respectively. In both cases data from the 15 ptm. CO2 absorption band were used. The profiles for the outer planets were obtained by inversion of measurements from the Voyager Fourier transform spectrometers. For Jupiter and Saturn, data from the S(0) and S(l) collision-induced H2 lines between 200 and 600 cm were used, along with measurements from the CH4 V4-band centered near 1300 cm . Because of the extremely low temperatures encountered on Uranus and Neptune, adequate signal-to-noise ratio for the retrieval of vertical thermal stmctures was obtained...
