This is not my photo. I found it on facebook. I thought it would be cool to share

These kind of images are quite insightful, especially if you then try to picture the movement through space and time as being directed inwardly.

It is cool to share!

Here's a snazzy-looking but inaccurate simulation of the traveling solar-system:


A more accurate simulation (of a five-planet solar subsystem):


No two theorists agree about anything. That's my theory, so of course there's someone somewhere who would disagree with it.  http://astrorhysy.blogspot.com/2013/12/a...-that.html

Busy, busy, busy:


Nice visualizations of planetary cyclical patterns:


Solar-system-foundational-anthropomorphic-deity simulation:
 Uh-oh, does this mean that God follows a left-hand path?!

Oh, wait, false alarm:
  Hey, wait up now -- does this mean God is a She? Or is He just a trifle flamboyant?

In 1997 astronomers discovered another natural Earth satellite beside the good old Moon -- they called it 3753 Cruithne ("666 Mark O'DeBeast", "23 Skidoo", "Henry 8th Iyam-Iyam", and "69 Izdivine" were some of the proposed names which didn't make the cut). It's fairly tiny and its orbit isn’t a simple little single-plane racetrack around Earth. Cruithne loops around the inner solar system in what astronomers call a “horseshoe” orbit (see http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-story-behind-...1687932128). More like a horsehoe-worn-by-a-horse-on-acid-orbit, it seems to me, but they didn't ask my opinion:


Sonically-enhanced results of analysis of the puzzling data-transmissions from sampling probe #B-52, which was sent to the enigmatic Planet Claire:


You've got to break some cosmic eggs to make a cosmological omelette:
 

I personally like this one:

The Earth and Venus make a beautiful flower (or maybe pentagram?) pattern in their orbits
