The five loops of Venus?
Somewhere that Venus produces five different patters in the sky. Anyone
know where these paths are shown? I think one of them is 270 days long. |

Any decent planetarium program should be able to plot this. These five loops are produced during an 8-year long time period during which Venus orbits the Sun 8+5=13 times. |

Empires of Time by Anthony Aveni. Page 201 shows the patterns. You might see it by going to Amazon to see if has a "Look Inside". The Mayans were really fascinated by Venus. It's possible the science writer K.C. Cole wrote about the significance of 270. 270 days-gestation-Women-Venus.She's written a variety of science books. |
