They are 300,000 km across, and only a kilometer thick at most.

Stars, brown dwarfs and planets Physics Department, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK A paper with the above title was submitted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on 20 th November 2000. It was seen by three referees, all of whom recommended against publication. The purpose of this presentation is to place into the public domain a contribution to cosmogony that otherwise would not be available. For completeness the objections that have been raised are also recorded here together with associated responses and comments by the authors. The presentation is in four parts: The paper, as presented to the journal, but with minor typographic corrections not affecting the scientific arguments. Referees' reports (as written without correction of spelling and other errors) accompanied by authors' responses. Rejection statement by Editors of the journal. General comments on the Editorial policy of the MNRAS and on the ethics of scientific refereeing. One of the authors, Stephen Oxley, on whose D.Phil thesis much of this work is based, is no longer in the academic field and this presentation is made solely by M M Woolfson.

Esoteric Astrology: Planets in general by Steve Kalinowski Permission granted for publication on Boudicca's Bard Planets In astrology, the planets are the significators of the most importance in the chart. The ancients (excluding the Sumerians because their awareness of celestial bodies that could not be `seen' is an entirely different topic of its own) knew of only the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. These are the ones visible to the eye unaided by technology. These planets, or literally translated the wanderers were thought to be the embodiment of ethereal/divine energies. Their action in the heavens were seen to portend the actions of the earthly world... and, as the Hermetic Law stated; As above, so below. The esoteric understanding of the planets serves two purposes, first, by describing the characteristic energies, or power tools, found within the personality; and second, by describing a system of initiation and rite of passage in spiritual ascension. As a description of personality the planets are viewed as one factor in a threefold system of correlation, the other two being the signs and the houses. These three, together, make up an alphabet system of sorts to describe characteristic energies by their various combinations and interrelations.

Adler Planetarium / Learning Astronomy / Planets / General Planetary Geology / C The large planets take a jump down in bulk density, indicating they are full of For example, Jupiter (the largest planet) has a density of 1.33 g/cm3. http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/learn/planets/planetary_geology/density.ssi

The Density of the Planets Density is a number derived by comparing a quantity of a substance with a unit of measure. Measurements of density might be expressed as pounds per cubic foot or kilograms per liter. Density is a key number scientists use when they are figuring out what kinds of substances and materials make up planets. The most common planet-forming materials (and their densities) are: Iron , with a density of 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter ( g/cm Basalt , with a density of 3.3 g/cm Water , with a density of 1 g/cm , and Cold ices (such as frozen carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia) and hydrogen , with densities ranging from 0.07-0.09 g/cm The bulk density of a planet will reflect the relative amounts of the materials the world is made of, regardless of what materials occur at the surface. This is vitally important because when planets and moons form they start to differentiate What is the Density of the Planets and our Moon? Mercury has a density of 5.43 g/cm . If we look at the materials listed above, no single material has a density of 5.4 g/cm . However, the density of iron is higher, and basalt has a lower density. If you average the two together it comes out to about 5.5 g/cm

If one part of aplanet has more craters than another then we know that the heavily cratered http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/learn/planets/planetary_geology/crater_dating.ss

Crater Dating Meteors fall onto a planet at a relatively regular rate. Small meteors are very common while large basin-forming meteors occur about once every hundred million years. Thus, if a surface has many craters it must have been undisturbed and exposed to bombardment for a long time. A surface with few craters must have been undisturbed and exposed for a short time. In the diagram of North America on the left each spot is a recognized crater (some of which are buried and had to be found by drilling or seismic investigation). There are about 50 or so. Now compare with a just a small area on the Moon in the image to the right. You can see that craters are everywhere. The Earth and Moon are pretty close together compared to the rest of the solar system. They should be hit by the same number of impacts. The big difference between them is that craters on the Earth are constantly being erased by other things - faults, mountains, lava flows, river valleys, seas, houses etc. The Moon has none of these, so its craters are still visible eons later. This is what scientists mean by an old surface. In comparison, North America is a younger, more-active surface. In order to figure out the relationships between different areas of a planet's surface there are two important measurements to take. First how many craters does each surface have? Second how big are the craters?

19. Sedna general information on the object officially known as 2003 VB12. This object is the most distant body known that orbits our Sun. http://www.nineplanets.org/sedna.html

Sedna (Artist's conception) Officially known as 2003 VB12, this object is the most distant body known that orbits our Sun . It is at present over 90 AUs away, 3 times as far as Pluto Sedna is about 1800 km in diameter, slightly smaller than Pluto Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Sedna is its orbit. Though it is not yet known to high precision it is clear that Sedna's orbit is highly elliptical with a perihelion of about 75 AU and an orbital period of about 10500 years. This puts it well beyond the Kuiper Belt and yet well inside what was thought to be the inner edge of the Oort Cloud Sedna's physical composition is a bit of a mystery. You would expect it to be mostly ices but apparently that's not the case. About all that's known at this time is that it is very red and that water and methane ices seem to be absent on the surface. Sedna is definitely not the " Planet X " that many astronomers anticipated before the discovery of Pluto. Planet X was supposed to be a much larger object. Sedna is not even officially a planet at all. That classification decision is up to the IAU and they are

20. On A General Method Of Expressing The Paths Of Light, And Of The Planets, By The An original paper by William Rowan Hamilton, dated 1833. http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Hamilton/LightPlanets/LightPlanets.h

On a general Method of expressing the Paths of Light, and of the Planets, by the Coefficients of a Characteristic Function By William R. Hamilton, Royal Astronomer of Ireland [Dublin University Review and Quarterly Magazine, Vol. I, 1833, pp. 795-826.] By such steps, then, it has become an established theorem, fundamental in optical science, that the communication, whether between an illuminating body and a body illuminated, or between an object seen and a beholding eye, is effected by the gradual but very rapid passage of some thing, or influence, or state, called light, from the luminous or visible body, along mathematical or physical lines, usually called rays , and found to be, under the most common circumstances, exactly or nearly straight. Another early and important observation, was that of the broken or refracted lines of communication, between an object in water and an eye in air, and generally between a point in one ordinary medium and a point in another. A valuable series of experiments on such refraction was made and recorded by Ptolemy; but it was not till long afterwards that the law was discovered by Snellius. He found that if two lengths, in a certain ratio or proportion determined by the natures of the two media, be measured, from the point of breaking, or of bending, on the refracted ray and on the incident ray prolonged, these lengths have one common projection on the refracting surface, or on its tangent plane. This law of ordinary refraction has since been improved by Newton's discovery of the different refrangibility of the differently coloured rays; and has been applied to explain and to calculate the apparent elevation of the stars, produced by the atmosphere of the earth.
