Winner of the Astronomy Book of the Year from Mercury Magazine (Astronomical Society of the Pacific), Planets and Perception is a provocative book that will intrigue anyone who has ever looked through a telescope. Drawing on both astronomical and psychological data, William Sheehan offers the first systematic analysis of the perceptual and cognitive factors that go into the initial structuring of a planetary image and its subsequent elaboration. Sheehan details the development of lunar and planetary astronomy, underscoring perceptual and psychological themes.

This book contains complete new explanation for Gravity, Formation of Galaxies, Light, Heat and Black Holes along with other explanations that will change the way we perceive Gravity and Light. The special curves like cycloid and helix used to derive mathematically that acceleration produced (known as acceleration due to gravity) is only due to two velocities namely rotation and revolution of the heavenly bodies not due to any gravity force, which proves why inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass. The new approach to find acceleration due to gravity leads to new values of “g’ for the heavenly bodies of our solar system. This value leads to new interpretation of atmospheric conditions that depends on “g”. An attempt is made to describe the atmospheric conditions of other planets due to this variation. This book contains Chapters on Formation of Galaxies giving explanation for rotation curve of the spiral galaxy without need for dark matter or energy. It also gives new explanation for dual nature of light by describing it as particles in a wave motion combining both the explanation of wave and particle nature. In the same chapter new interpretation of spectra supports an evident that light indeed is a particle in a wave motion as an electron gets converted to electromagnetic radiations spread into space and which in turn gets converted back to an electron, when it falls on an Atom. It also contains chapter on Black holes describing it as an empty space. Another chapter on U-Craft, which is a flying object that uses directional centrifugal forces to fly, instead of thrust of gases used by conventional space shuttle. It can also be used for locomotion on the ground as well as to lift off and fly. The special features of U-craft are low altitude flying, vertical lift off as well as landing and minimum floor space requirements without major surrounding disturbance. It can also be extended to make voyages to other planets in the space age with the help of any suitable fuel - See more at: https://notionpress.com/read/gravity-paradigm-shift-in-perception#sthash.koqUOEaL.dpuf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... AN INTERPRETATIVE PREFACE The World is full of thinkers, but strangely rare are those who clearly can perceive. The perception of absolute truth is the realisation of God, and with this perception the individual of such attainment requires no earthly attributes. It is conclusive, then, that those whom we know subject to mortal ills are so because they have not attained correct perception. The thinker whose primary perception is erroneous cannot reason to an understanding of absolute truth. The philosophical method by which correct perception is attained is not important, the only essential factor being the perception itself. The thinker, then, should lay aside all prejudice and scan these pages only for such things as will clarify his mental vision. There is material here for the gratification of sordid ambition, suggestions that a mind familiar with mortal ways can conceive misused. But the thinker keen enough to develop these suggestions will be keen enough to see the way to the perception of truth and the wastefulness of unwise accomplishment. The perception of absolute truth--and no man is so base but that he would seize it if he could--requires the correct application of all energy, the elimination of all discord, the accomplishment of harmony with eternal being. The following pages constitute a text to aid the thinker to perceive. Perhaps the key is here. Who Knows? Each thinker for himself must decide.--George Vail Steep. Los Angeles, January 24, 1920.

In Vedic Astrology harmonious and inharmonious aspects among the planets depend upon their natural significations and their basic characters. Planets of contrary characteristics usually display inharmony when in aspect. However the lordships of planets have a great say in moulding the planets considerably, when in aspect. This change in nature and characteristics is particularly noticeable during their Dasas and Bhuktis. Thus we see that in Vedic Astrology the results of aspects of planets depend upon their natural characteristics and lordships. In Western Astrology, it is'the angle between the planets that decides harmonious or inharmonious aspects. The planets at 90 or 120° apart are supposed to be in harmony or create a harmonious aspect, tend to enhance each other's good significations, modify and retard the bad significations. If the angle is 90° or 180° or placed in 6th/ 8th to each other, then they are said to be in inharmonious aspects. They tend to irritate and block each other's significations. They give bad results for the houses they are posited in and for the houses ruled by them. We propose to discuss here the harmonious and inharmonious aspects between the sets of two planets in a general sense. These aspects are pliable for various horoscopes according to lordships and natural characteristics of planets involved and other aspects to these planets.

In Placing Outer Space Lisa Messeri traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored. Making planets into places is central to the daily practices and professional identities of the astronomers, geologists, and computer scientists Messeri studies. She takes readers to the Mars Desert Research Station and a NASA research center to discuss ways scientists experience and map Mars. At a Chilean observatory and in MIT's labs she describes how they discover exoplanets and envision what it would be like to inhabit them. Today’s planetary science reveals the universe as densely inhabited by evocative worlds, which in turn tells us more about Earth, ourselves, and our place in the universe.

Astronomy is by far the most popular of the physical sciences, enticing enough to become a major cultural preoccupation for many, and for some an enthralling scientific activity which veritably rules their lives. What is the nature of that seemingly unstoppable attraction? In this lively and compelling account, William Sheehan – professional psychiatrist, noted historian of astronomy, and incurable observer - explores the nature of that allure through the story of man's visual exploration of the planets. In this volume, the first of a trilogy, Sheehan starts with observational astronomy’s profound and lasting effect on his own life, setting the points of embarkation for the journey to come. He travels across the historical landscape seeking the earliest origins of man's compulsion to observe the planets among the hunter gatherers of the upper palaeolithic, and traces the evolving story from the planetary records of the earliest cities, to Pharonic Egypt through to Hellenistic Greek astronomy culminating in Ptolemy. The necessity to observe played its part in the perceptual changes wrought by the Copernican revolution, as well as the observational advances achieved by such extraordinary characters as Tycho with his sharpest of eyes, and his luxurious practice of total astronomy. The two epochal advances published in 1609, both born through planetary observation, namely Kepler's discovery of the true nature of the orbit of Mars and Harriot and Galileo’s observations of the Moon, have a pivotal place in this account. Sheehan weaves a rich tapestry of social and technological settings, patronage and personalities, equipment and skills, cosmologies and goals, motives and compulsions to try to explain why we have observed, and continue to observe, the planets. The compelling text of A Passion for the Planets is enhanced by the specially commissioned planetary artwork of Julian Baum, himself son of a noted planetary observer and historian of planetary observers, and Randall Rosenfeld. A Passion for the Planets will be of interest to all amateur astronomers; active planetary observers; armchair astronomers; those interested in the history of astronomy; the cultural history of science; and astronomical art.
