Planets, orbits Ceres

The mean orbits of all planets, including Ceres, the largest asteroid, are correctly predicted [13] by the relative distances from the spiral center. With the orbital radii expressed as rational fractions, a quantized distribution of major planets, as numbered, is revealed. On this scale the orbit of Ceres measures r and those of the inner planets are rational fractions of the golden ratio. The same pattern was shown to repeat itself for the orbital motion of planetary moons and rings. [Pg.14]

On the first day of January 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered an object which he first thought was a new comet. But after several observations its orbit was precisely determined, and it became clear that this object was not a comet but was in orbit around the Sun like a planet, however evidently the size of the object was smaller. Therefore it was called an asteroid and named Ceres. Three other small bodies were discovered in the next few years (Pallas, Vesta, and Juno). By the end of the 19th century several hundred asteroids were known. [Pg.119]
