The movement of the planets in orbits. What planet rotates in the opposite direction? How does a complete revolution of the planets

This is a system of planets, in the center of which is a bright star, the source of energy, heat and light - the Sun.
According to one theory, the Sun was formed along with the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago as a result of the explosion of one or more supernovae. Initially, the solar system was a cloud of gas and dust particles, which, in motion and under the influence of their mass, formed a disk in which a new star, the Sun, and our entire solar system arose.

At the center of the solar system is the Sun, around which nine large planets revolve in orbits. Since the Sun is displaced from the center of the planetary orbits, then during the cycle of revolution around the Sun, the planets either approach or move away in their orbits.

There are two groups of planets:

Terrestrial planets: and . These planets are small in size with a rocky surface, they are closer than others to the Sun.

Giant planets: and . These are large planets, consisting mainly of gas, and they are characterized by the presence of rings consisting of ice dust and many rocky pieces.

But does not fall into any group, because, despite its location in the solar system, it is located too far from the Sun and has a very small diameter, only 2320 km, which is half the diameter of Mercury.

Planets of the solar system

Let's start a fascinating acquaintance with the planets of the solar system in order of their location from the Sun, and also consider their main satellites and some other space objects (comets, asteroids, meteorites) in the gigantic expanses of our planetary system.

Rings and moons of Jupiter: Europa, Io, Ganymede, Callisto and others...
The planet Jupiter is surrounded by a whole family of 16 satellites, and each of them has its own, unlike other features ...

Rings and moons of Saturn: Titan, Enceladus and more...
Not only the planet Saturn has characteristic rings, but also on other giant planets. Around Saturn, the rings are especially clearly visible, because they consist of billions of small particles that revolve around the planet, in addition to several rings, Saturn has 18 satellites, one of which is Titan, its diameter is 5000 km, which makes it the largest satellite in the solar system ...

Rings and moons of Uranus: Titania, Oberon and others...
The planet Uranus has 17 satellites and, like other giant planets, thin rings encircling the planet, which practically do not have the ability to reflect light, therefore they were discovered not so long ago in 1977 quite by accident ...

Rings and moons of Neptune: Triton, Nereid and others...
Initially, before the exploration of Neptune by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, it was known about two satellites of the planet - Triton and Nerida. An interesting fact is that the Triton satellite has a reverse direction of orbital motion, and strange volcanoes were also discovered on the satellite that spewed nitrogen gas like geysers, spreading a dark mass (from liquid to vapor) for many kilometers into the atmosphere. During its mission, Voyager 2 discovered six more satellites of the planet Neptune...

Surely, many of you have seen a gif or watched a video showing the movement of the solar system.

Video clip, released in 2012, went viral and made a lot of noise. I came across him shortly after his appearance, when I knew much less about space than I do now. And most of all I was confused by the perpendicularity of the plane of the orbits of the planets to the direction of motion. It's not that it's impossible, but the Solar System can move at any angle to the plane of the Galaxy. You ask, why remember long-forgotten stories? The fact is that right now, with the desire and the presence of good weather, everyone can see in the sky the real angle between the planes of the ecliptic and the Galaxy.

We check scientists

Astronomy says that the angle between the planes of the ecliptic and the galaxy is 63°.

But the figure itself is boring, and even now, when adherents of the flat Earth arrange a coven on the sidelines of science, I want to have a simple and visual illustration. Let's think about how we can see the planes of the Galaxy and the ecliptic in the sky, preferably with the naked eye and without moving far from the city? The plane of the Galaxy is the Milky Way, but now, with an abundance of light pollution, it is not so easy to see it. Is there any line approximately close to the plane of the Galaxy? Yes, it is the constellation Cygnus. It is clearly visible even in the city, and it is easy to find it, relying on the bright stars: Deneb (alpha Cygnus), Vega (alpha Lyra) and Altair (alpha Eagle). The "torso" of Cygnus approximately coincides with the galactic plane.

Okay, we have one plane. But how to get a visual line of the ecliptic? Let's think, what is the ecliptic in general? According to the modern strict definition, the ecliptic is a section of the celestial sphere by the plane of the orbit of the barycenter (center of mass) of the Earth-Moon. On the average, the Sun moves along the ecliptic, but we do not have two Suns, according to which it is convenient to draw a line, and the constellation Cygnus will not be visible in sunlight. But if we remember that the planets of the solar system also move approximately in the same plane, then it turns out that the parade of planets will just approximately show us the plane of the ecliptic. And now in the morning sky you can just see Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

As a result, in the coming weeks, in the morning before sunrise, it will be possible to very clearly see the following picture:

Which, surprisingly, is in perfect agreement with astronomy textbooks.

And it's better to draw a gif like this:


Source: astronomer Rhys Taylor website rhysy.net

The question can cause the relative position of the planes. Are we flying<-/ или же <-\ (если смотреть с внешней стороны Галактики, северный полюс вверху)? Астрономия говорит, что Солнечная система движется относительно ближайших звезд в направлении созвездия Геркулеса, в точку, расположенную недалеко от Веги и Альбирео (бета Лебедя), то есть правильное положение <-/.

But this fact, alas, cannot be verified “on the fingers”, because, even if they did it two hundred and thirty-five years ago, they used the results of many years of astronomical observations and mathematics.

Receding stars

How can you generally determine where the solar system is moving relative to nearby stars? If we can record the movement of a star across the celestial sphere for decades, then the direction of movement of several stars will tell us where we are moving relative to them. Let's call the point to which we are moving, the apex. Stars that are not far from it, as well as from the opposite point (anti-apex), will move weakly, because they are flying towards us or away from us. And the farther the star is from the apex and anti-apex, the greater will be its own motion. Imagine that you are driving down the road. Traffic lights at intersections in front and behind will not shift much to the sides. But the lampposts along the road will flicker (have a large own movement) outside the window.

The gif shows the movement of Barnard's star, which has the largest proper motion. Already in the 18th century, astronomers had records of the position of stars over an interval of 40-50 years, which made it possible to determine the direction of motion of slower stars. Then the English astronomer William Herschel took the star catalogs and, without approaching the telescope, began to calculate. Already the first calculations according to Mayer's catalog showed that the stars do not move randomly, and the apex can be determined.


Source: Hoskin, M. Herschel's Determination of the Solar Apex, Journal for the History of Astronomy, Vol. 11, P. 153, 1980

And with the data of the Lalande catalog, the area was significantly reduced.


From there

Then normal scientific work went on - data clarification, calculations, disputes, but Herschel used the correct principle and was only ten degrees wrong. Information is still being collected, for example, only thirty years ago, the speed of movement was reduced from 20 to 13 km / s. Important: this speed should not be confused with the speed of the solar system and other nearby stars relative to the center of the Galaxy, which is approximately 220 km/s.

Even further

Well, since we mentioned the speed of movement relative to the center of the Galaxy, it is necessary to understand here as well. The galactic north pole is chosen in the same way as the earth's - arbitrarily by agreement. It is located near the star Arcturus (alpha Bootes), approximately up in the direction of the wing of the constellation Cygnus. But in general, the projection of the constellations on the map of the Galaxy looks like this:

Those. The solar system moves relative to the center of the Galaxy in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, and relative to the local stars in the direction of the constellation Hercules, at an angle of 63 ° to the galactic plane,<-/, если смотреть с внешней стороны Галактики, северный полюс сверху.

space tail

But the comparison of the solar system with a comet in the video is absolutely correct. NASA's IBEX was specifically designed to determine the interaction between the boundary of the solar system and interstellar space. And according to him

Scientists suggest that planet X is moving towards the Earth, which is capable of destroying all life. Apparently, this is Nibiru, which experts have been looking for so long. All the cataclysms that are now taking place in the world, according to scientists, are the reason for the rapprochement with an unknown planet.

Scientists from the US Geological Survey believe that the giant planet X (Nibiru) actually exists and is already approaching Earth. All the recent natural anomalies point directly to the tidal forces of the mysterious planet. At the moment, typhoons, powerful eruptions and earthquakes are often recorded on Earth, as well as heavy rains in arid areas where the Sun usually shines brightly.

"Global warming, volcanic eruptions, drought in previously rainy areas and vice versa, rain where it never happened are all indications that the Earth is moving closer to Planet X," says Dr. Trowbridge.

A global climate change heralds the arrival of Nibiru, a planet orbiting our parent star in a highly elongated ellipsoidal orbit with a period of 36,000 years. According to the calculations of some scientists, including Isaac Newton, the Apocalypse will come in 2060 with the arrival of the mysterious ninth planet.

Then the tidal forces of the giant space guest will begin to tear the Earth apart, intensifying volcanic and seismological activity. In addition, Nibiru may bring with it an asteroid shower. Our planet's magnetosphere will also be under attack, climatologists conclude.

“The last one, although it has not yet been discovered, is rapidly approaching - I just feel how it flies closer to us,” Trowbridge said. He added that researchers could not previously identify Nibiru due to the fact that it has a special elongated orbit, and its period of rotation around the Sun is 36 thousand years.

Planet X - Nibiru (Nibiru)

NASA recognized the possibility (in 1982) of another new planet in the solar system. A year later (1983) NASA launched IRAS (Infrared Artificial Satellite) which spotted a very large object. The Washington Post summed up the interview with a scientist from the JPL IRAS program.+

A celestial body possibly larger than the giant Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth in size, may be part of this solar system, was discovered in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope.

What is Nibiru?

First, Nibiru is one of many planets orbiting a dark star or Brown Dwarf. This Dark Star has five minor planets, a sixth Earth-sized planet, Motherland, and a seventh planet or object we call Nibiru.

The homeland is in many ways similar to the Earth and the place where the Ennanek Giants or Gods of old live there. Nibiru is basically uninhabitable and mostly acts as a battle station or spaceship.

When a dark star is at perihelion (the point in the orbit of a celestial body closest to the Sun) at 60 or 70 par., Nibiru's orbit, which is at 60 par. from its star, has an orbit large enough to pass through our solar system, usually close to the orbit of Jupiter, but this can change.+

Nibiru's orbital inclination is about 30 degrees to our Sun's plane of motion, or the ecliptic. As Nibiru passes through our solar system, moving backwards in relation to other planets, this sometimes shifts the orbit of the planet, being the main cause of destruction.+

Its passage has a great impact, but is fleeting and takes only a few weeks or months in most cases, it disappears from view. The planet Nibiru is fiery red in color, with a debris trail and several satellites flying around it.+

Nibiru or its satellites are responsible for such incidents as the destruction of Maldek, which is now the asteroid belt. It is also the cause of craters or surface cracks on the Moon and the planets of our solar system, as well as changes in their axis of inclination and orbits. She is responsible for the disappearance of Atlantis and endless floods. She is the link between our solar system and the system of a dark star or star - the Brown Dwarf.

Nibiru was known as the winged (or horned) disc in the earthly past of humans.

Fact: once Nibiru entered the solar system, it rapidly accelerated below the ecliptic, passing behind and below the sun before returning and passing below the sun at an angle of 33 degrees. NASA is now observing Nibiru with the new S.P.T. (South Pole Telescope Area) telescope at the South Pole.

For the first time people will be able to see Nibiru every day since May 15, 2009 as a faint reddish object. It will move directly in the earth's orbit. This means that until 2009 the only way to see it is from the southern hemisphere of the Earth.+

By May 2011 it will be visible to the naked eye to all people on the planet. December 21, 2012 Nibiru will pass through the ecliptic of the planet as a bright red star and will look like the second but the size of the sun. Earthquakes will pass and bad weather will begin.

But the worst, however, will come February 14, 2013, the Earth will pass between Nibiru and the Sun. The poles will move, the tilt of the planet will change! Great changes on the Earth, the strongest earthquakes and the most powerful tsunamis will pass through the world!

After July 1, 2014, Nibiru will no longer terrorize our world and will move away from our part of the galaxy. NASA knows about Nibiru, but in order not to cause panic, they hide the truth from people!+

Well-informed person from NASA, D.o.D. - national military intelligence, S.E.T.I., and the CIA assume that 2/3 of the planet's population will die during the change of poles from the passage of Nibiru.+

Another 2/3 of those who survive, in the beginning, hunger and death await for 6 months!

The most secret US government agency is well aware of what to expect and prepare for it. The Vatican has the same information. The population will not be warned and will not be given a chance to prepare!+

The volume of incoming information from knowledgeable people, observatories and the Vatican is a wide stream. The most important story on earth in 3,000 years is rapidly being freed from the shackles of the masters of the financial markets.+

So there is still time to prepare for this disaster. Anyway, we should see this red planet in Earth's blue sky. Let's watch this new possible disaster and keep everyone in the thick of things.

Let us consider how long it takes for the complete rotation of the planets when they return to the same point of the zodiac where they were.

Periods of complete revolution of the planets

Sun - 365 days 6 hours;

Mercury - about 1 year;

Venus - 255 days;

Moon - 28 days (according to the ecliptic);

Mars - 1 year 322 days;

Lilith - 9 years;

Jupiter - 11 years 313 days;

Saturn - 29 years 155 days;

Chiron - 50 years old;

Uranus - 83 years 273 days;

Neptune - 163 years 253 days;

Pluto - approximately 250 years;

Proserpina - about 650 years old.

The further a planet is from the Sun, the longer the path it describes around it. Planets that make a complete revolution around the Sun in more than a human life are called high planets in astrology.

If the time of a complete revolution is carried out for the average life span of a person, these are low planets. Accordingly, their influence is different: low planets mainly influence the individual, each person, and high planets mainly affect many lives, groups of people, peoples, countries.

How does a complete revolution of the planets

The motion of the planets around the Sun is not in a circle, but in an ellipse. Therefore, during its movement, the planet is at different distances from the Sun: a closer distance is called perihelion (the planet moves faster in this position), a more distant one - aphelion (the speed of the planet slows down).

To simplify the calculation of the motion of the planets and the calculation of the average speed of their movement, astronomers conditionally accept the trajectory of their movement in a circle. Thus, it is conditionally assumed that the movement of the planets in orbit has a constant speed.

Given the different speeds of movement of the planets of the solar system and their different orbits, to the observer they seem to be scattered across the starry sky. It seems that they are located on the same level. In fact, this is not so.

It should be remembered that the constellations of the planets are not the same as the signs of the Zodiac. The constellations are formed in the sky by clusters of stars, and the signs of the Zodiac are symbols of a section of the Zodiac sphere of 30 degrees.

Constellations can occupy an area of ​​less than 30 ° in the sky (depending on the angle at which they are visible), and the sign of the Zodiac occupies this area completely (the zone of influence starts from the 31st degree).

What is a parade of planets

There are rare cases when the location of many planets, when projected onto the Earth, is close to a straight line (vertical), forming clusters of the planets of the solar system in the sky. If this happens with nearby planets, this is called a small parade of planets, if with distant ones (they can join nearby ones), this is a large parade of planets.

During the “parade” of the planets, gathered in one place in the sky, they “collect” their energy into a beam, which has a powerful effect on the Earth: natural disasters occur more often and much more pronounced, powerful and radical transformations in society, mortality increases (heart attacks, strokes, train accidents, accidents, etc.)

Features of the motion of the planets

If we imagine the Earth, motionless in the center, around which the planets of the solar system revolve, then the trajectory of the planets, adopted in astronomy, will be sharply violated. The sun revolves around the Earth, and the planets Mercury and Venus, located between the Earth and the Sun, will revolve around the Sun, periodically changing their direction to the opposite - this “reverse” movement is indicated by “P” (R) (retrograde).

Finding and between is called the lower opposition, and on the opposite orbit beyond - the upper opposition.

Let's continue talking about the basics of astrology. And today we will consider zodiac and planets. The zodiac is the scene of planetary action. The planets move along a narrow strip of the ecliptic. The zodiac circle has clear boundaries. This happens because the rotation of the planets in the solar system and the Moon around the Sun occurs in the same plane, and to us, observing this process from the Earth, celestial bodies are seen in a narrow belt of signs of the Zodiac.

The 12 signs of the Zodiac are equal sections of the ecliptic of 30 degrees each. Visible let the Sun in the celestial sphere is the ecliptic. All planets in the solar system move along the ecliptic.

The zodiac has a beginning - the vernal equinox (TVR) on March 21, it is the beginning of the sign Aries.

The point of the summer solstice (TLS), when the day is the largest in the year in terms of time, corresponds to the beginning of the sign Cancer - 21.06.

The point of the winter solstice (TSS), when the night is the longest and the day is the shortest, corresponds to the beginning of the sign Capricorn - 21.12.

The vernal equinox (TVR) is actually now at the very beginning of Pisces at the end of Aquarius.

For almost 2000 years, this point has been moving along the constellation Pisces. The period of time when the vernal equinox occurs in a particular constellation is called the epoch (period) of that constellation. The vernal equinox is gradually moving along the ecliptic.

Gradually, TVR passes into the constellation of Aquarius, which is why they say that the Age of Aquarius is coming. If the era of Pisces was a symbol of faith, secrets, then the era of Aquarius will become a symbol of the exposure of these secrets.

Aquarius is a symbol of open knowledge, a symbol of astrology. I think everything that was secret in past centuries, sealed with seven seals, under the heading of secrecy, will become public and we will be surprised at many things. A full transition to the Age of Aquarius is possible already in 2017.

As I already mentioned in my articles. Zodiac signs and constellations of the same name are different things, the same as astrology and astronomy.

The circle of constellations and the circle of signs are two different circles independent of each other. The circle of signs of the zodiac is tied to the seasons and is located within the solar system Tropical Zodiac. And the circle of constellations - the Sidereal Zodiac, is located outside the solar system.

Let's go back to our solar system.

The circle of signs of the zodiac is a circle of longitudes, each sign in this circle corresponds to a section of longitudes of 30 degrees.

The center of the zodiac circle is the Earth, man is an observer. From different signs of the zodiac, energy comes to the earth, which differs in quality and properties.

We consider and deal not with the true movement of the luminaries relative to the stars, but with what is visible to us from our own planet. The sun and moon move in the sky relative to the earth in the same direction. The planets revolve around the Sun, but in their apparent movement in the sky relative to the Earth, they perform complex loops and trajectories. At times it seems as if the planets are moving in the opposite direction. Such movement is called retrograde (reversing) and their influence on the Earth is changing. The Moon and Sun are not retrograde. Direct planets act directly, immediately manifesting themselves in the outside world. Retrograde planets act differently and what are retrograde planets we will discuss in the next article, subscribe to.

The planet is the driving force. Therefore, although the Sun is a star, it is also a planet. The stars are fixed luminaries, the planets are moving. Each planet controls a sign and can manifest itself most clearly if it is in its own sign (in the figure above you see which planet controls which sign). All planets move counterclockwise.

In astrology, there are a great many elements of the horoscope: signs, houses, stars, planets, fictitious planets, asteroids, Arabic points, major and minor aspects. If we take into account everything that we have in the analysis of the horoscope, then it will be possible to find any events in the horoscope. Each fate is individual and in order for us to see exactly this individual fate in the chart, with its karma accumulated in past lives, it is enough to take into account the houses of the horoscope, 10 planets of the Black Moon and major aspects.

So, when constructing a horoscope, we take into account 10 main luminaries.

Functions and properties of the luminaries.

The planets are divided into inner and outer. The inner planets do not move far from the Sun, these are the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, the maximum deviation of Mercury is 28 degrees, Venus moves away from the Sun at a distance of about 48 degrees no more. Outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter.

The sun is a lion characteristic - the desire to occupy a central position. Describes the center of the human psyche, his inner self. It is possible to determine how a person sees the world, how he perceives it (through the prism of his sign). Characterizes the waking consciousness, the center of vitality, energy, human health.

Moon - Cancer - mood, feelings, well-being, susceptibility (sensitivity), the ability to adapt, a tendency to change, parental instinct, the ability to take care, attention, calm. Responsible for the subconscious.

Mercury - Virgo, Gemini - reflects the human mind, rational, organizational abilities, intellect, intellectual capabilities, contacts, connections, sociability. Mercury is the planet of interest. Responsible for speech and writing.

Venus - Libra, Taurus - harmony, beauty, a sense of beauty, a sense of taste, the desire for peace and peacefulness, interest in art, accumulation and assimilation, talents, skill, finances and things, love and friendship.

Mars - Scorpio, Aries - passion (desire to possess) all volitional qualities, how energetic a person is (physical strength and energy), aggressiveness, hostility, conflict, determination, courage, enthusiasm, enterprise, enthusiasm.

Jupiter - Sagittarius, Pisces - going beyond the boundaries, the desire to expand opportunities, enriches, gives generosity, optimism, travel, wandering, creativity, science, religion, high ideals, issues of morality and justice.

Saturn - Capricorn, Aquarius - purposeful, the ability to plan, reason and logic, the ability to concentrate, focus, gives depth, foundation. The ability to notice and use, the desire to foresee everything.

Uranus - Aquarius, Capricorn - intuition, foresight, clarification, insight. An informal, extraordinary view of the world inclines to extremes, gives love of freedom and independence. Perseverance.

Neptune - Pisces, Sagittarius - all secrets, fantasies, dreams, dreams. Deception, duality in everything. It endows with subtle susceptibility, psychologism. Compassion, empathy, spirituality, mercy, justice.

Pluto - Aries - self-affirmation and unification, energy, strength, determination, the ability to win sympathy, the desire for popularity, gives abundance. Commander, power.

The periods of passage of the luminaries of the zodiac circle.

The moon is the fastest planet in 27 days and 8 hours, it passes the entire zodiac. It stays in one sign for about 2.5 days.

The sun - the entire zodiac passes in 1 year. Changes from sign to sign once a month around the 22nd or 23rd.

Mercury and Venus move through the zodiac approximately the same as the Sun in 1 year.

Mars moves through the zodiac for 1 year and 10 months.

Jupiter 11 years and 10 months. The year is in one sign.

Saturn moves through the zodiac for 29.5 years.

Uranus is a slow planet - 84 years.

Neptune - 165 years.

Pluto is a slow planet moving through the zodiac for 250 years.

The fictitious luminaries are the Black Moon - the most distant point of the Moon's orbit from the Earth, makes a complete revolution in 8.85 years (an article about the Black Moon can be found using the search on the site, or by going to the All blog articles page). The ascending lunar node, the descending lunar node, they are opposite each other at a distance of 180 degrees, the period of passage of the zodiac is 18.6 years. They move in the direction opposite to the movement of the Sun and Moon. Once again, we will clarify: the Black Moon and the Lunar Nodes are not luminaries, but special fictitious points in space.

The quality of the lights.

In astropsychology, the Sun, Venus and Jupiter are considered good planets. The Moon and Mercury are considered neutral planets. Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto in their properties and action are considered evil planets.
