home publications > mercury . ... Astronomy Beat . ... Nearly four centuries ago, Galileo's simple observations of Earth's planetary sibling, Venus, buoyed the proponents of a Copernican universe. ... The Italian astronomer had settled into a new house in Florence and had begun to observe Venus, which in November 1610 would have appeared as an evening star, bright in the western sky after dusk. ... From these two observations, Galileo inferred that Venus must orbit closer to the Sun than does Earth. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
