Our solar system consists of the Sun, the planets and their moon satellites, asteroids (small planets), comets, and meteorites. The planets are generally divided into two categories Earth-like (terrestrial) planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars and Giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Little is known about Pluto, the most remote planet from Earth. 

The gas giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planet Pluto has a status of its own, and has recently been renamed a dwarf planet. 

Alkanes are often found in natural systems. They are the main constituents in the atmospheres of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Methane is also thought to have been a major component of the atmosphere of the early Earth. Natural gas and oil are primarily made of alkanes. 

Aspects of the chemical composition of the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were measured by the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft in the 1980s and 1990s,... 

Several applications of IR spectroscopy to astrophysics have been made. Small amounts of methane in the earth s atmosphere have been detected by the observation of weak IR absorption lines in solar radiation that has passed through the earth s atmosphere. Intense IR absorption bands of CH4 have been found in the spectra of the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Bands of ammonia have been observed for Jupiter and Saturn bands of C02 have been observed in the Venusian spectrum and bands of H20 have been observed in the Martian spectrum. 

When thinking about how our solar system may have evolved from proplyds (protoplanetary disks), we must remember that the violence of the early Solar System was tremendous as huge chunks of matter bombarded each other. In the inner Solar System, the Sun s heat drove away the lighter-weight elements and materials, leaving Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars behind. In the outer part of the system, the solar nebulas (gas and dust) survived for some time and were accumulated by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. 

For Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the habitable zone is broader relative to the planetary radius. On Saturn, the temperature is about 300 K when dihydrogen becomes supercritical. On Uranus and Neptune, the temperature when dihydrogen becomes supercritical is only 160 K, a temperature at which organic molecules are stable. 

But what was there, in addition to water, on the primitive Earth The four outer planets of the solar system (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are still made up mainly of hydrogen, helium, methane, ammonia and water, and it is likely that those same chemicals were abundant everywhere else in the solar system, and therefore even in its four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars). These were too small to trap light chemicals, such as hydrogen and helium, but the Earth had a large enough mass to keep all the others. It is likely therefore that the Earth s first atmosphere had great amounts of methane (CH4), ammonia (NHJ and water, and was, as a result, heavy and reducing, like Jupiter s. 

The chemical dynamics, reactivity, and stability of carbon-centered radicals play an important role in understanding the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), their hydrogen-dehcient precursor molecules, and carbonaceous nanostructures from the bottom up in extreme environments. These range from high-temperature combustion flames (up to a few 1000 K) and chemical vapor deposition of diamonds to more exotic, extraterrestrial settings such as low-temperature (30-200 K), hydrocarbon-rich atmospheres of planets and their moons such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Titan, as well as cold molecular clouds holding temperatures as low as 10...

Modern telescopic and spacecraft study of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, their properties, and their systems of rings, moons, and magnetospheres, has been the purview of the planetary scientist with little connection to the universe beyond until 1995, when the first extrasolar giant planet was discovered. Now the solar system s giants are the best-studied example of a class of some 100 objects which—while only one has been measured for size and hence density—may be present 10% of Sun-like stars. 

Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and about four times the size of Earth. Astronomers consider Neptune to form with Uranus a subgroup of the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). Neptune and Uranus are similar in size, mass, periods of their rotation, the overall features of their magnetic fields, and ring systems. However they differ in the structure of their atmospheres (perhaps the more conspicuous features of Neptune s clouds are caused by its significant internal energy source, which Uranus lacks), the orientations of their rotation axes, and in their satellite systems.

At the time, more than a dozen planetary satellites had already been discovered for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. None had been found for Venus or Mercury, nor were they likely to be found, given the proximity of these planets to the Sun. Mars likewise had no satellites. .. or, at least, none that had yet been discovered. 

The solar system is sometimes divided into two parts consisting of the inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—and the outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and, until recently, Pluto. One might imagine that understanding the chemical and physical properties of the inner planets would help in understanding the chemical and physical properties of the outer planets. No such luck. The two groups of planets differ from each other in some fundamental and important ways. 

Voyager 2 was launched at an especially propitious moment in the history of the solar system At the time four of the outer planets— Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—were aligned in such a way as to allow the spacecraft to fly past them all, providing scientists with their first close look at the next-to-outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, in addition to the planned targets of Jupiter and Saturn. The alignment that permitted this special tour of observation occurs only once every 175 years, so the data provided by Voyager 2 about Uranus and Neptune has been of very special value to researchers. 

Researchers have learned a vast amount of new information about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt Objects in the last century. Improved terrestrial telescopes, the Hubble Space Telescope, and space explorations such as Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, and Cassini have produced new data that will take astrochemists years to analyze and interpret, providing them with even more detailed information about the chemical composition of the atmospheres, satellites, surfaces, and other features of the outer planets and their associated bodies. 

In the centre we see the other planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Vegetalistas may visit all these planets rather easily, because they are not very far away. 

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. 

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. 

The only planetary aspects that scarcely matter are conjunctions of Saturn and Saturn, Uranus and Uranus, Neptune and Neptune, Pluto and Pluto. 

Here s the rule The transits that pack the biggest wallop are those made by the slowest planets — Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — to the Sun, the Moon, the Ascendant, and the faster planets. Contacts made by the faster planets are usually short-lived. Contacts made by the slower planets to the slower planets (such as Uranus opposite your Pluto or Neptune conjunct your Saturn) may be too subtle to detect (unless the natal planet happens to occupy a prominent position in your chart). But contacts made by a slow planet to one of your personal planets — Pluto conjunct your Moon, Uranus opposite your Sun, and so on — signify the chapters of your life.
