This famous rotating roadmap of the heavens shows the location of the stars constellations and planets relative to the horizon for the exact hour and date you determine This 8inch square start chart was plotted by the late astronomer and cartographer George Lovi The reverse side of the locator is packed with additional data on the planets meteor showers and bright stars Included with each star chart is a 16page fullyillustrated pocketsize instruction booklet.

Where did the solar system come from? How was it made?. Up until the mid 1990’s the only planets known were those in our solar system. As a result, the theories we developed to explain the formation of a solar system fit our system. Since the 1990’s we have discovered hundreds of extra-solar planets. How does our theory match these newly discovered worlds? . Extra-solar planetary systems. Lecture . 16. Other theory. Tidal Hypothesis. Early attempt to explain the dichotomy of planets..
