1 Solar System Perambulations Bob Albrecht & George Firedrake This work is licensed using a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 license. Version Most of our heroes are great mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers. Just for the fun of it, a few days ago we started writing this document. It lists 53 mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers, one per page. For each entry, we show: Date of birth The positions of the eight planets and dwarf planet Pluto on the birth date A link to the person's Wikipedia entry A table of data about the eight planets, dwarf planets Pluto and Ceres, and Earth's Moon (Same table on every page) We began with Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, and then added others as they occurred to us, so this document is not organized in a systematic way. You can browse a list of names down yonder and click on one of the 53 names to go to that person's page. We are posting this document in our download page at IAE Pedia. To download it (free) as a PDF file or Word file or both, go to At our download page, you can download other free ebooks as PDF or Word files, including these: Mathemagical Meandering Mathemagical Black Holes Mathemagical Numbers 1 to 99 Mathemagical Numbers 100 to 199 Mathemagical Numbers 200 to 299 Algebra: Numbers 01 Becoming a Better Math Tutor (Moursund & Albrecht) Using Math Games and Word Problems to Increase the Math Maturity of K-8 Students (Moursund & Albrecht) 1

3 Solar System Live TOC To see where the planets are now or at any date and time you choose, go to Solar System Live: Solar System Live You will see: Welcome to Solar System Live, the interactive Orrery of the Web. You can view the entire Solar System, or just the inner planets (through the orbit of Mars). Controls allow you to set time and date, viewpoint, observing location, and a variety of other parameters. Click on entire Solar System to go to a page that shows the orbital positions of the eight planets and dwarf planet Pluto. Here is a direct link to the entire Solar System page: On at 11:15 am PDT, we saw the following diagram of the Solar System: The orbits are not to scale. They are shown in logarithmic form. The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are scrunched together. In real orbit form, the inner planets are packed even more tightly together. You can select real, logarithmic, or equal orbits in the Orbits box: Orbits: Real Logarithmic Equal When you arrive at the entire Solar System page, Logarithmic orbits are selected by default. 3
4 We clicked on the button to the left of Real, and then clicked the Update button. Presto! The orbits were changed to real form, like this: Orbits: Real Logarithmic Equal Orbits are to scale. In this document, we want equally spaced orbits, so we clicked on the button to the left of Equal and then clicked the Update button. Alakazam! Soon we saw equally spaced not-to-scale orbits. Orbits: Real Logarithmic Equal You can use this graphic to deduce what planets you can see and when you can see them. 4
5 What planets could you see on and about what time of day could you see them? Symbol Planet Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Imagine that you are standing on Earth at noon on July 16, It is daylight you do not see any planets. Time passes and Earth rotates 90 counterclockwise. It is 6 PM and still daylight. Time passes. As twilight approaches and the sky darkens, you can see Mars and Saturn low in the western sky. You may be able to find Mercury; it is close to the Sun. If you have a sufficiently strong telescope, you can see Pluto high overhead. Time passes. Soon it is midnight and you are on the opposite side of Earth. With your sufficiently strong telescope you can see Neptune high overhead. After midnight and before dawn, you see Venus and Jupiter bright, very bright in the east. Use your sufficiently strong telescope to gaze upon Uranus. Each of the 53 pages about mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers contains a diagram of the solar system with equally spaced not-to-scale orbits. You can deduce what planets could be seen and when they could be seen on the each person's day of birth. At Solar System Live, use the Time UTC button and box to enter the date and time you want. Galileo Galilei was born We don't know the time, so we will use noon, entered as 12:00:00 UTC (Time in Greenwich, UK). Time: Now UTC [ :00:00 ] 5
