Apart from "OCTANT HUGGING", There are two further INEXPLICABLE features relating to the movements of Solar System bodies. A cash prize of £32,000 is offered for an explanation of the first item (using only the laws of Newtonian Physics), and a £500 cash prize for the second item. Here is the first item now, and you can scroll down this page to see the second item. Also, for still more INEXPLICABLE Solar System features, click on the following links:-

and also:-

The Sun somehow "forces" or "influences" Inner Solar System bodies to revolve and rotate with specific periods, so that ratios between these periods and The Sun's rotation period SUM to very close-to-perfect WHOLE NUMBERS. There are no known laws of physics that can explain why this happens. Four examples are provided below (but I have many more similar examples available).

THE SUN AND INNER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES.

The Four Inner Solar System Planets are:- Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Periods expressed in Earth days. Ratios are forward ratios (ie:- larger value divided by smaller value).

The statistical odds against any single specific randomly generated number being this close to a perfect WHOLE NUMBER are 1 chance in 4902.

1 ÷ [(1 – 0.999898) x 2] = 4902

THE SUN AND INNER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES.

The Inner Solar System Planets, as seen from Earth are:- Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Periods expressed in Earth days. Ratios are forward ratios (ie:- larger value divided by smaller value).

The statistical odds against any single specific randomly generated number being this close to a perfect WHOLE NUMBER are 1 chance in 12,500.

1 ÷ [0.00004 x 2] = 12,500

THE SUN AND INNER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES.

The Earth’s three Neighbours are:- Venus, The Moon, and Mars. Periods expressed in Earth days. Ratios are forward ratios (ie:- larger value divided by smaller value).

The statistical odds against any single specific randomly generated number being this close to a perfect WHOLE NUMBER are 1 chance in 50,000.

A FURTHER CASH PRIZE (of only £500) for an explanation of the following (using only The Laws of Newtonian Physics).

Here is a scan of a table which provides the numerical values of (the angles of) The Ascending Nodes of The Planets. This table is a scan from the book Text-Book on Spherical Astronomy, by W.M.Smart, Regius Professor of Astronomy in The University of Glasgow from 1937 to 1959, published Cambridge, at The University Press, 1971, page 422 (Appendix C).

Now here is an image actually showing these angles. You can see at a glance that all the angles for The Planets are "all bunched up", and clustered together, whereas the angles for a selection of Asteroids are NOT "all bunched up" and clustered together. The question is:- Why does this "bunching up" occur in this manner JUST FOR THE PLANETS?

The statistical odds against The Ascending Nodes of the planets being as "bunched up together" as observed purely by chance are one chance in 218.

What makes it even more inexplicable is that these angles are very very slowly changing, and at different rates for each planet. In that case, The Ascending Nodes SHOULD be "scattered" all over the 360 degrees of the circle, and NOT "bunched up" in this manner. To show that these angles really are slowly changing, here is a scan from the book The Principles of Astronomy Designed for the use of Students in The University, by Rev. S. Vince, Plumian Professor of Astronomy, published Cambridge, 1799, page 137.

The fact of the "bunching up" of Planetary Ascending Nodes has been previously noticed in The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, Volume 8, New Series, Jan to April, 1859, pages 130 to 131.
