	Astrology on the Web: The Planets
		In astrology, the planets, sun, moon and other movable points (such as the moon's nodes) are still all described as "planets", the wanderers of the zodiac.
		Planets are located symbolically in the chart: the signs and houses filter their energies through the planets, much as a coloured lens filters the image thrown by a stage-light, or received by a camera.
		Should a planet have difficult aspects, or be in an unsympathetic position in the zodiac, it is said to be afflicted.

	Planets and Their Moons
		While the inner planets became mostly rocky, the outer planets were able to accrete much more gas and to evolve voluminous atmospheres.
		Pluto, the "planet" beyond Neptune, is not gaseous like the other planets of the outer solar system, nor is it rocky like those of the inner; it is actually most like a giant comet.
		Between the fourth and fifth was a belt of asteroids that were tiny bodies significantly smaller than any planet.

		Because the orbits are in fact ellipses, the planets spend more time near their aphelion than near their perihelion, and spend unequal amounts of time on either side of the ecliptic.
		Planets at the top or bottom edges of the plot are in opposition, and above the horizon all night long.
		Of all the planets and the Sun, during the investigated period between 4713 BC and AD 3501, the Sun is the closest to the Earth during 27.1 percent of the time.

	Astrology, Chakras and The Seven Rays: Part Two - Planets, Signs and Aspects
		Planets are angles in their own right, and function in two natural ways, through the activating and formulating principles each planet traditionally represents, and as transmitters of the Ray energy of the zodiac signs they occupy.
		Between every pair of planets on a horoscope there is a point that is exactly halfway between the two, as measured around the circumference of the horoscope.
		If there is a planet at this position, it will be considered to be in aspect to the two planets that form the midpoint, and the three planets will 'mix' their influence to affect the subject through this point, in regard to its house and zodiac position.

	Astrological Aspects
		Planets and sensitive points are represented on the circle in degrees and minutes of celestial longitude, which are calculated from the plane of the ecliptic.
		When we say a planet is "within 6 degrees of being..." we are considering the maximum number of degrees that a planet can be separated from another planet for that angular relationship to be effective.
		When the planets are in the same mode the conflict usually occurs when each planet wants to express its energy pattern at the same time that the other planet does, but not in a cooperative manner.

		Smaller terrestrial planets lose most of their atmospheres due to this accretion, but the lost gases can be replaced by outgassing from the mantle and from the subsequent impact of comets.
		The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of the HD 188753 system, in the constellation Cygnus, and is hence known as HD 188753 Ab.
		Uranian planets, or ice giants, are a sub-class of gas giants, distinguished from true Jovians by their depletion in hydrogen and helium and a significant composition of rock and ice.

		The energy of any one planet or planets in the position they rent in zodiac houses are also affected by how the planets are positioned with respect to each other at any time.
		The effect of an aspect between two planets is strongest when the fastest planet reaches the exact angle of the aspect.
		For example, the square aspect has planets in the same quality or mode, but conflicting elements (e.g., fire and water) while the trine aspect the planets are in the same element, but stimulated by different qualities.

	Universe Today - Hit and Run Planets
		Hit-and-run collisions between embryonic planets during a critical period in the early history of the Solar System may account for some previously unexplained properties of planets, asteroids, and meteorites, according to researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who described their findings in the January 12 issue of the journal Nature.
		The four "terrestrial" or rocky planets (Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury) are the products of an initial period, lasting tens of millions of years, of violent collisions between planetary bodies of various sizes.
		The formation of the terrestrial planets is thought to have begun with a phase of gentle accretion within a disk of gas and dust around the Sun.

	Caltech Press Release, 5/29/2003,
		The three pulsar planets, with their orbits spaced in an almost exact proportion to the spacings between Mercury, Venus, and Earth, comprise a planetary system that is astonishingly similar in appearance to the inner solar system.
		The first planets orbiting a star other than the sun were discovered by Wolszczan and Frail around an old, rapidly spinning neutron star, PSR B1257+12, during a large search for pulsars conducted in 1990 with the giant, 305-meter Arecibo radio telescope.
		Soon after the discovery of the planets around PSR 1257+12, astronomers realized that the heavier two must interact gravitationally in a measurable way, because of a near 3:2 commensurability of their 66.5- and 98.2-day orbital periods.

	Ingredients of Astrology - Planetary Aspects
		The aspects are indicated by the lines from one planet to an other in your birth chart.
		There are specific symbols related to each aspect which you find on the actual line of each aspect and in the ‘aspectarium’, the step-shaped diagram in the lower left hand corner of your birth chart.
		Especially if personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) are involved, a square can mean a big challenge, but these people also tend to achieve a lot, because it feels like “something needs to be done”, often by overcoming fear.

	Solar System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Six of the eight planets are in turn orbited by natural satellites (usually termed "moons" after Earth's Moon) and every planet past the asteroid belt is encircled by planetary rings of dust and other particles.
		The planets are very close to the ecliptic while comets and kuiper belt objects are usually at significantly greater angles to it.
		The key difference between planets and dwarf planets is that while both are required to orbit the Sun and be of large enough mass that their own gravity pulls them into a nearly round shape, dwarf planets are not required to clear their neighborhood of other celestial bodies.

	Comparing the Distance Between Planets
		The orbits of all the planets are elliptical in shape, although on the scale of the Solar System they may seem circular.
		This "law" gives the distance form the Sun to the planets when the numbers 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, etc., (doubling the previous number) are each added to 4, and the result is divided by 10.
		Eventually there should be a shape of a planet on a stick for each of the students (3 of each planet).

	Between Planets - Heinlein Concordance
		Between Planets, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and Red Planet describe the struggles of the human colonies in the Solar System to achieve political independence from Earth; Podkayne of Mars refers indirectly to this history.
		The Red Planet was usually described as barren and cold with a thin atmosphere, just barely habitable by humans in pressurized habitats or after terraforming.
		Though some of the books depict conflicts between human colonists and native Martians, none portray the natives as resentful of the invasion of their home; often, the Martians remains largely oblivious to the human presence.

	Between the Planets Natural History - Find Articles
		For half a billion years after the formation of the Sun and its planets, so much junk rained down on Earth that the energy from the impacts sustained a heated atmosphere and a molten surface.
		Apart from this newsworthy event, the period of heavy bombardment that Earth endured during its infancy was not unique in the solar system: all the planets and other large bodies sustained similar damage, with the airless, uneroded Moon and Mercury preserving much of the cratered record from this period.
		Often drawn by artists as a region of cluttered, floating rocks in the plane of the solar system, the asteroid belt's total mass is less than 5 percent that of the Moon, which is itself not much more than 1 percent the mass of Earth.

		Thus Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and our position in the solar system helps to account for many of the characteristics of the Earth (e.g., chemical composition and density of Earth's rocks, our atmosphere, temperatures at the Earth's surface).
		The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, although all of the orbits except those of Mercury and Pluto are very nearly circular.
		Planets generally rotate in the same direction that they revolve, but Venus, Uranus, and possibly Pluto are exceptions.

	Interiors of extrasolar planets: A first step
		Correlation between the amount of heavy elements in the transiting planets and the metallicity of their parent stars.
		Planet formation models have failed to predict the large amounts of heavy elements found this way in many planets, so these results imply that they need revising.
		The correlation between stellar and planetary composition has to be confirmed by further discoveries of transiting planets, but this work is a first step in studying the physical nature of extrasolar planets and their formation.

		The ultimate goal is to simulate a plausible range of habitable planets, and to find out how they might appear to planet-finding missions of the future.
		These planets would mimic some of the accepted signs of life, but would produce them using geological and atmospheric processes.
		Such planets might be distinguishable from inhabited worlds by looking at a broader spectral range, or taking many measurements over a period of time to understand the way these "signatures" change.
