Is Neptune an Astrological Planet?

Did they dispute the mathematics of Kepler's model, or just the reasons for it? Pretty sure it's the latter--a questioning of the nature of Gravity, and Newtonian mechanics.

Two coordinate systems - Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld wrote in The Evolution of Physics (1938): "Can we formulate physical laws so that they are valid for all CS (=coordinate systems), not only those moving uniformly, but also those moving quite arbitrarily, relative to each other? If this can be done, our difficulties will be over. We shall then be able to apply the laws of nature to any CS. The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, 'the sun is at rest and the Earth moves', or 'the sun moves and the Earth is at rest', would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS. Could we build a real relativistic physics valid in all CS; a physics in which there would be no place for absolute, but only for relative, motion? This is indeed possible!"

There ARE 2 major coordinate systems, Geocentric and Heliocentric. It's just a matter of what the measurer CHOOSES to hold stationary, and what's moving. I hold the Signs in place in the Geocentric, you hold the Angles in place. It's not a right-way/wrong-way situation.

It is pretty hard to argue with the Bible. :smile:

Ceres was was downgraded to asteroid status
Ceres was considered to be a planet when it was discovered in 1801 :smile:
even when using a multi billion dollar observatory telescope

Huh, why did astrologers stick with Pluto, but not with a historical astronomical definition of Ceres, seems somewhat inconsistent?

good question - also Eris is larger than pluto
and then there's Chiron - provisional designation 1977 UB
aka 95P/Chiron

Chiron is officially designated as both a comet—95P/Chiron
AND a minor planet :smile:

No, Pluto IS a fully formed astrological planet.
If being downgraded from planet to dwarf planet back in 2006
was one identity crisis for Pluto, here's another :smile:

Scientists now say the ninth rock from the sun could be a sort of giant comet
having formed when a billion or so comets clumped together in the solar system's early days
Ceres is the largest, but still small remnant of a planet
between Mars and the bloated giant, Jupiter, that was in the process of formation.

Jupiter's gravitational field blew it apart.

I won't comet on that. :biggrin:

This thread is about the fully accredited planet Neptune. If you want to talk about the astrological planet Pluto, start your own thread! :lol:
